OVER cHILkooT PASS.
Maa@ting Mics Canyon and White Horse
Rapids ON the Yukon.

Rha@fang Milos Canyon and White H0rae
Rapids ON the Yukon.
This canyon was named by the late
Iieutanant Frederick Sohwatka in
honor of General Nelson a. Miles,
who had been Instrumental in send
ing him on his trip to the Yukon in
1853. The river, which has been
about 800 feet wide, suddenly con
: .kraets to about one tenth of that
width, and, increasing ats velocity
30 20miles an hour, rushes with ter
rifle force througha canyon with alb
Solutely perpendicular walls 100 feet
high. The canyon is only three quar-
Z tars OF d mile long, and at it's lower
and the river spreads out into a
series of rapids, eliminating three
miles below in the White Horse.
There are two ways of passing this
eanyo lone. by portaging over the
hill on the east bank, and the other,
by boldly running through. We HAD
saan both ways of passing Miles
canyon, one requiring four days, and
the other two minutes. We three
looked at each other in an inquiring
sort of way, and then without a
word walked down to where the
Nancy Hanks was moored against
the bank All took their places,
kneeling and facing the bow, MoCon-
nell in the stern, Mattern amidships
and forward. The oars were placed
IN board, and each of us used an or
binary canoe paddle.
must confess that I never felt
sucker in my life than as we showed
away from shore and steered for the
entrance. 1t was all over so quickly
that we hardly knew how it happen
ed. Barely missing the big rock at
the mouth of the canyon, the boat
started on its wild ride The walls
sserned to fairly fly past US. and aft
Gr starting we heard cheer from
the rocks above, but did not dare
look up By frantic padding we
kept in the middle and off from the
canyon walls. The sensation was akin
so that of riding a buoking broncho.
There was not dry spot on one of
us when we got through, and the
boat had taken on so much water
that she nearly foundered before we
could bail her out, But a great
weight was off our minds, for Miles
canyon, more than all other things, is
dreaded by Yukon travellers. From

Il.
Tho road to success OF almost any
kind is often a long and difficult one.
The temptation TO take short cut
which promises to reach the desired end
quicker and more easily is frequent and
pressing. Woe to him who undertakes
to walk it, especially in matters of mo-
rality and religion. He will find before
he gets 10 the end that its true nature
was discovered long ago. There is
way that seemeth right unto man,
but the end thereof are the ways OF
death" There are many who would
never think Of laying the foundations
of financial success or business prosperi-
ty upon theft. misrepresentation or
trickery of any kind. who yet in mat
tiers of the soul and in their relations to
God never stop to question if they are
honest in their dealings There is no
realm Of human effort where the chance
to succeed by unlawful methods is so
slight as in that Of religion. Man may
deceive himself; he rarely for any length

his fellow men, and never Knocks God.
Whatever a man actually is in nature
that he sooner or later reveals himself
to be. He reaps what he sows.
Ono Of the best representations OF
this truth in the whole field Of litera-
ture is found in Tennyson's "Palace Of
Art" 1t would be we'll for all Chris
tians to carefully read that poem and
think Of its deep lying lessons. Itwould
be we'll in meetings Of the League to
read some of the most essential parts Of
it and compare them with the teachings
Of the Bible. In good concordance
under the words path" and way"
references will be found to many sug-
gestive and helpful passages Of Scripture
bearing on this point A Bible reading

Christian Social Life.

The League is opposed TO the ordinary
forms of worldly amusement. There is
no place for them in truly Christian
life. Tbeatricals. dancing and card
playing do not aid in spiritual advance
ment nor help to the cultivation OF in
telligent piety. They inevitably hinder
religious progress. II we discounte-
nance them as amusements of the nom
religious world, we should surely have
nothing which initiates them in the
League. OF all abominable things theat-
ricals in a League or any young people g
society of the church Of Christ are
among the worst. Games of chance and
such things are largely matters Of the
past We appear to be comingto purer
day. when the people are rising above
such things and no longer depend upon
them to aid in the financial support OF
the church. May the day speedily dawn
when all suppers and entertainments
shall be given their proper place and no
longer relied upon as sources of revenue.

TAKE CARE OF THE CHEST.
And the Rest Of the Body VIII Take Care
Of Itself

And the Rest If the Body VIII Take Care
"Take care Of your chest" says a
physical culture teacher. "and the rest
of your body will take care Of itself.
The chest is the chief thing to be remem-
bered. Keep it we'll raised and your head,
spine and shoulders will involuntarily
assume their proper positions without
any effort ON your part. The cry from
parents and teachers used to be, Throw
your shoulders back 7 But this mistaken
notion is now completely exploded. The
shoulders have nothing to do with COR
rect posture 1t IL all the chest, and its
elevation or depression will regulate the
rest Of the body. The chest Is the seat
of all things spiritual, elevated and en-
nobling. Bring IL into prominence and
you bring into prominence the best
qualities Of your nature.
"It has been said that whatever psy-
Geological attribute is most marked in
a human being is correspondingly most
marked In his physical being. If he's a
Rlutton, his stomach is most in evil
dence il scholar or brain worker, his
head 10 sure to be thrust well forward ;
but II he preserves proper intellectual
balance he walks with his chest in adj
vance of the rest of his body.
"It is curious, too, how one may
really influence his own mental condi-
ton in this way. just try and see how
impossible it is to say, oh, how happy
I am (! with sunken chest and spent
breath. One involuntarily lifts his chest
and takes good long breath when he
says anything optimistic and brave, for
II he doesn't he might just as well say
Have mercy on us miserable sinners.
The effect is the same. There is no surer
cure for the blues or like maladies
than merely lifting the chest and taking
a good. long breath. 1t scares away all
the bugaboos Of pessimism. New York
