thumb open with knife while doing
some carpenter work last Saturday.
1t is an ugly cut that will lay him up

But he has some consolation in the
fact that awhile ago Charley Burris
came around and induced him to take

It IL q recognized fact in science that
very few great rivers have been thor
Oughly explored by going up stream.
For nearly 1000 years travellers aud
explorers endeavored to discover the
source Of the Nile by ascending that
wonderful river. But by the time they
had reached. the difficult part of the
stream their supplies and energy were
exhausted, and they could go no far
ther. It Is only by seeking the sources
of rivers by overland routes that ex-
plorers meet with success. It was in
this manner that Henry M. Stanley
traced the route of the Congo in Africa.
In this way Of procedure Frederick
Schwatka was enabled to float down to
Yukon, and Spoke found the secret Of
the river Nile.
One of the most curious rivers that
has come to the knowledge of men is the
Webb Shebeyli, of eastern Africa, a
deep and rapid stream, Astounding in,
strange fish and ferocious crocodiles.
Although it flows for hundreds of miles
through fertile lands, the immense vol
une of water never reaches the sea. A
short distance north of the equator the
river is lost in q desert region few
miles from the Indian ocean.
Some of the most recent explorers OF
Alaska and British America claim that
the Mississippi can no longer be regard
ed as the largest river on the North
American continent. This distinction is
claimed for the great Yukon river. Ac-
cording to Ivan Petroff, who spent over
two years in Alaska collecting mate
rails for the last census, the Yukon
empties into Norton sou i'd about one
third more water than the Mississippi
pours into the Gulf of Mexico. The Yu-
you basin comprises the larger part of
northern Alaska, and 600 miles from it's
mouth the river is mile in width

QUEEN BEss AND HER SAILORS.
They Suited Beth Her Tastes and Hel
Policy.


They Suited Beth Her Tastes and Her
Policy.
Queen Elizabeth personally liked her
sailors and their way of life; she had all
a woman's love Of the adventurer. They
brought her money, finery and dattery,
and she dearly loved all three. But
they suited not only her tastes, but
her policy. There was q mutual under
standing between them. If, for reasons
of state, it was necessary to disown
their privateering feats, even when
they were triumphantly successful,
they must reckon on her hard words
and black looks. IF it was safe to &C
knowledge them. they were rewarded
with open smiles and favors. Thorough
ly characteristic, for example, was her
treatment of Francis Drake when the
ever-glorious Pelican came home, leav-
ing a wake behind her which went right
round the world. He had laughed at
Spanish protests, plundered Spanish
treasure, towns and ships, with the
light-hearted audacity Of the gentle
man bandit, and anchored at Plymouth
with an Ell Dorado in his hold and the
shouts of admiring England in his
ears.
Mendoza, the Spanish ambassador,
turiously demanded that "the Dragon"
should be forced to disgorge his
plumber. But it suited the queen to
teach the Spaniard lesson-that If his
master encouraged Irish rebels she
would encourage English privateers.
Drake was the lion of her court; she
ostentatiously walked about with him
in the public gardens; the Pelican was
the scene of a royal banquet, and
Gloriana made rough Francis one of
her knights.-Good Words.
