IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Few Musk Oxen There, but Trout Are
Four Feet Long.

;. \. Malterner of Spokane, a Union
Pacific locomotive engineer, has re-
turned to his home in Spokane from an
exploring trip in the wilds of the North
west territory. There are some of the
things he told Sp0kesman-Re UieaO re-
porter.
we sent two canoes to Edmin gton
and proceeded by wagon 100 miles
north to the AthCbasca river. Then we
launched the canoes and bid good-by to
the last traces of civilization. On the
voyage down the river 500 miles to
Fort Chippewayan, on the Athabasca
lake, we encountered a serious mis-
fortune, necessitating the separation of
Mr.. Burrell and myself.
"From Fort Chippewayau l went
down the Slave river to Fort Resolution,
on Great Slave lake. This is a fine body
of water, 375 miles long and in one
place eighty miles wide with arms or
bays $50 miles long. The surveys are
not complete, and the explorer can place
little reliance on the government. |
went up to Rib Dog trading post and
made an excursion into the barren lands
for musk OK, but was not successful.
The fact is that the only white men who
ever killed any of these animals were
Pike of Victoria and Mckinley, in
charge of Fort Resolution. Pike claims
that every OK he killed cost him So, 900.
Il went on to Clinton Golden lake, in
latitude Ga. There the sun is out of
sight only half an hour in twenty-four,
during summer time. l went over to
the Mckenzie river. There and at Fort
Resolutiou they raise potatoes and other
vegetables but it must be done in two
months. This is possible, because
vegetation there never sleeps, as there
is no night.
Il travelled about g. 800 miles in the
canoe. In Trout creek, which empties
into Clinton Golden lake, | caught a
real trout that measured four feet and
weigh he'd fifty pounds, as near as l
could estimate. There are millions of
geese, ducks, and swans. The wavv,
snow-white bird smaller than the grouse,
is native at these lakes. l think it is
found, also, on the southern coast. All
the northern fowl are migratory and 90
still north of latitude 81 to nest. There
are millions of black foxes, and | cannot
conceive of any danger of their exter-
mination."

HE pTese Mt legislature will lie asked
TO provide some revenue for the state
normal schools which shall be sufficient
for their needs. These schools have
never Ieoelv,d tie support from the
state which their Importance as educa-
tional factors made proper, They have
done; even with the limited means at
their disposal. invaluable service IN the
cause of popular education. They have
had direct influence on the common
schools of the state; but they have in
the past been treated nlggardly by the
legislature Perhaps one reason for tins
l. that they have been too modest in their
demands, " bile other institutions have
pressed their claims with vigor and sue
cess.
1t has been extremely difficult TO re-
tain teachers in the normal schools after
they have acquired some celebrity IN
their lines. Invariably some other in
sutution more generously supported is
able to draw away the best teachers in
our normal schools. Many OF them make
sacrifices and remain there at less salary
than they could command elsewhere.
But 1t is poor policy on the part of the
state to thus limit the possibilities of
these schools, than which there is none
in which the people should have a warm.
er interest.
The claims of these schools to a liberal
support will be urged at this session of
the legislature Indeed this step has
been delayed too long. The legislature
should act with such promptness aud
unanlmlty as to show appreciation of
these schools and willingness to provide
means for worthy institutions.

~ responsible for the decrease in the

slogan of hard times" piped IN a differ
ent tune. 1t is singular that the reve-
nues decreased while the affairs of the
country were being managed under re-
publican legislation.
But Reeds scheme is to place heavier
tax upon beer. The brewer pays tax
of one dollar per barrel upon beer now.
None of this tax is paid by the consumer
as the retailer makes no change in the

An additional tax upon beer would be a
decided injustice, because it would be
placing an additional tax upon an indus

Objectionable feature would be removed.
If our tariff bills were framed solely
with reference to raising revenue, there

Tn the Princess Metternich was an in.
 applicable mixture of innate high breed.

 gree When she appeared in society, at her very entrance there could be no
 mistake; from head to foot she was the
 hlSh-born lady--the "grande dame. D Yet she had an extraordinary inclina-
 ton Tor walking on the edges of moral quasmires, and peeping into them, with
 proud conviction that her foot could
 never slip. There are stories of her inn

 she had never crossed the Rubicon."
 notwithstanding all her follies, the Princess Metternich was far from be-
 Ing silly; on the contrary, she had con siderable wit and great sharpness of tepartee. As she did not care for any thlhs she said, her retorts were often very clever and amusing, but too free to De easily repeated. She delighted in singing songs from music-halls and in- ferior theatres Naughty as she was, she invited to her dinner table a singer of eduivocal celebrity at that time, whom no one else would have dared to receive; and even took lessons from her, so as to sing her songs with due em- phasis.
 The mischief done by the example of the Princess Metternich is indescriba- ble' She threw down the barrier which hitherto had separated respectable wo- men from those who were not, and led the way to liberty of speech and liber- ty Of action which were unknown be- fore. She was much attached to her husband, and, in essentials, was a good wife; others less favorably situated may not have escaped as she did from the natural consequences of looking too closely over the frontier of the Debata ble Land. It is not unlikely that the pride of the Princess Metter nfch may have led her to imagine that in Paris she might do anything without her dignity For in- stance, she was intimate with a lady who, although received everywhere in l Parisian society, did not seem to be her equal in rank to become 1 her friend. To a remark on, the sub- feet she carelessly answered: "Oh it is | all very we'll here; of course I could not 1 see her in Vienna"

It is possible to have % much faith in Woman, even in the New Woman, or course she can do much, but she cannot do all things. And being slight ly unconscious of her own limitations 1t will be profitable for others not to be entirely carried away by her beautiful faith in herself, Lately she has been undertaking to do. for charity, work to which she was not brought up, In va rious places she has been allowed to run newspapers for a day and take what she could make for ''the cause" She has succeeded in getting the newspapers out, with few suggestions and a little help, but as anybody can run news paper, except those who are actually doing the work, there hasn't been much to brag about in her achievements in this line.

With that strange, unquestioning confidence which Man is apt to have in Woman the trolley men were induced to let her tackle the light ming. She had no fears, and she made the cars roll around with exhilarating rapidity for awhile. Flushed with sue cess, however. she became reckless and two cars, crowded with those who were out to show their faith in Woman and their desire to help the hospitals, met each other at the foot of a steep grade with great violence. No body was killed, but one was seriously injured and all were shaken as to their bodies and their faith. It looked for few minutes as if the hospitals might |

 Some of the Louis XVI. styles are fearfully and wonderfully contrived, and among the odd ones are the prin- cess back dresses, opening over petti- coat and stomacher, and with the hat un on one side and drooping on the other, with the plumes laid back against the hair. With such are worn loose slip gloves without buttons and fitting baggily. Make the dress of dark green velvet, open it over gold braided white, let the hat be of green felt battlemented all about the brim and edged with gold braid, and let the gloves be of yellow chamois with gauntlet tops, the result will be a riding habit that will look as if it came right out of picture. Of course, one would not like to wear 1t on horse, but as a winter carriage rig it will be not only correct, but stunning.
