THE PLAINS IN WINTER.
A Journey Across the Continent In Marc
Eg Like a VOYAGE.

"A Journey Across the COnIllenG In M6rCl
Gg Like a Voyage.
The journey across the continent from
west to east in midwinter is very mucl
like voyage When one lands at St
Paul from the overland train, it is with
all the sensations of making port after
having passed over the icebound sea Of
the plains.
The uniform dazzle of miles of mo.
notonous snow, broken only where il
sinks to indigo shadow or swells tc
orests Of intolerable light, has for days
given to the world outside the pane q
sentiment Of immensely rarely matched
by the moving sea.
There is majesty in the limitless
sweep of level earth, so slightly over
arched by the level sky, but majesty
that becomes desolation =Thon seen in
intimate relation to human life
A furry team of horses struggling
across the plains, drawing a meager
sledge load of trewood along a narrow
trail in the snow to some unseen farm
house, alternating through the long
few fierce weeks of summer sunshine; a
little schoolhouse of unplaned boards
perched on a swell of the vast silent
landscape; a farmhouse backed by barn
and corral, with tiny yard in front
encircled by tawdry frill of white
washed paling, showing yellow above
the snowfall these, with miles of snow
between, pierce one with keener sense
of loneliness than could any personal
experience.
The human element is so inadequate
that one passes these scattered evidences
of struggle for life as in sound ship
one might pass frail craft at sea.
There are eagle minds upon which
this solemn hostility of unconquered
nature acts as challenges; one sees this
in the voice and step and eye of men
who have built Dakota and Montana
towns. Sturdy and unawed, they have
fought their way and -wrested for them
selves foothold on the great inhospi-
table plains.
The level iridescent blaze of cloud
less winter days, the treeless prairies
ahame with color materialized in a
thousand wild flowers the dreary swells
of autumn brown, lifted here and there
into sharp buttes Of threatening stone

An English lady, travelling in New

CANALS OF THE FUTURE.

The history Of the struggle between
canals of small Dimensions and of rail-

The fight ragged bitterly for a number Of
years, the canals acting on the defen

states under whose patronage they were
built and operated. The result has been
the same in all cases-the unconditional
surrender of the canals to the railroads.
This however. is not SO much the fault
of the system as of their management.
The railroads have great advantages
over canals. They are better able to
abridge distances both by reason of supe.

The Spinner Memorial.

The Spinner Memorial association will
soon have ready for unwilling the bronze
statue of General Francis E. Spinner
to stand in the national capital. The
story cannot be too often told: SIN the
year 1869 General Spinner brought
about the appointment of seven women
as clerks in the treasury department of
the United States, and so much did the
opening of those doors benefit woman in
giving her an opportunity of securing
an Independent livelihood that in 1875
300 women were employed in that de-
partment of the government, and at the
present time the names Of 1, no women,
