The skyline of New York is changing
so rapidly that the American traveller
who goes abroad can recognize with
more certainty the profles of the for
eign cities he approaches than that OF
his own metropolis as he sees it from
the deck of the steamer on his return,
says Scribner's. It may be his first
visit to Europe; he may know London,
Rome and Paris only from the views of
them in old prints. But if he has an eye
for such things his first glimpse of st.
Paufs, st. Peters, or Notre Dame will
tell him to what place he is coming, for
all the world knows these pinnacles,

away from where he ought to be, would

Let not the sun go down upon your

ginnings of envy, jealousy and hate in

close on bitter feeling. The hour of
evening prayer, when we bow at Gods
feet, should always be time for get

Then every injury should be forgiven

to flood our hearts We should never
allow the sun to go down on our an

That New Steamboat Company.


Our readers will remember that early
in July meeting Of the citizens of Cook
county was held at the court house, in
Grand Marais, for the purpose Of consid-
ering the advisability of organizing a
stock company for the operation of a
steamboat line along the North shore
bstween Daluth and Port Arthur. At
that meeting committee was appointed
to procure what information they could
on the subject. ...-.
For the purpose of hearing the report
OF this committee second meeting of
the citizens was held at the count house
last Saturday evening at which the COM
mittee made very satisfactory and en-
couraging report. - n. -. 4
After the matter had been thoroughly
discussed it was decided to hold meet
ing in Duluth on the 23rd inst, and, as
it is matter in which all North shore
people are Interested, the secretary of
the meeting was instructed to extend an
Invitation to the people Of each of the
several communities between Two Har-
bors and Port Arthur, inclusive, to meet
with them al the st, Louis hotel, Duluth,
at seven O'Clock p. N. on that day for the
purpose OF discussing the matter and
adopting plan Of organization.

WOLVES INCREASING.
Montana Ranchmen Complain of the
DepredRtions of the Animals.

Montana Ranchmen Complain of the
Depredations of the Animals.
The gray wolf, the. bane of cattlemen
and flock masters, appears to multiply
and flourish in defiance of the efforts of
the hunter and the price set upon his
head, says the Benton River (Mont.)
Press. Advices from all sections OF the
range country report that gray wolves
are as numerous and destructive as ever.
Range riders are witnesses to the fact
that the latest and strongest steers
are frequently overcome by these fero-
cious beasts, while the weak and infrm
surrender to their attacks almost with
out a struggle. The live stock loss of
Montana from this source cannot be
calculated, but from the nature of the
case it must be tremendous. Profess
sional hunters state that the gray wolf
is an exceptionally difficult animal to
circumvent. His cunning is remark
able and his suspicious nature causes
him to avoid any locality which his
keen senses notify him has been invaded
by his human enemy. He is not gre
garious animal, preferring to roam in
small punches, which prevents such a
wholesale killing as could be accom-
plished if large band should fall with
in the power of the hunter. He avoids
poisoned bats and dead carcasses; he is
essentially beast of prey, preferring
fresh meat at all times, and when the
pangs of hunger are felt he starts out
to find something with warm blood in it.
For these reasons wolf hunting is an
exceptionally slow and precarious occu-
patton; trapping, chasing and shooting
are practically the only methods that
produce results, and attractive induce
ments are necessary to encourage hunt
ers to engage in that work as means of

FRIEND OF THE TREES.

Honor to Robert Douglas, the Pioneer
American HorticuIturist.
Few men in America have ever been
more esteemed for brilliant services to
horticulture, or more beloved by his
fellows for his amiable qualities, than
Robert Douglas, of Waukegan, Ill, who
was found dead in his Office chair on the
.1st of June. He had had paralytic
stroke month before, but seemed to
have measurably recovered, and main
tanned his active interest in every good
work about him to the last. He was
born in Yorkshire, in England, but
from early life had q passion for gar
dening. Even when an apprentice to a
tailor he closely cultivated 2O-foot
square lot of ground, and was warmly
interested in matters connected with
natural history, in which a love of birds
was especially prominent. He first
came to Canada, then to Vermont, final
~ settling in Waukegan. He was very
fond of travelling, and was one of the
first to make an overland trip to the
Pacific by the Humboldt River route.
America owes him a debt of gratitude
as being the first to show that ever
greens could be raised as proftably in
the new as in the old world. He was
also the first to know the great value of
the western catalpa, catalpa speciosa,
for timber, and the first to prove, by
actual experiment, that forestry plant
ing could be made profitable in Amer
lea. The superior hardness of the Col
orado form of the Pacific species of
conifera, which knowledge has been
worth many thousands of dollars to
Colorado, was the result of his close OBJ
servation and intelligence. No one
connected with horticulture in Amer
lea has ever passed away with such
widespread regret. No one will ever be
more keenly missed by wide circle OF
friends.-Meehan's MONTHLY.

A Neat Gown,

A simple gown, yet handsome, is of
fawn, canvas, made up on the founda-
ton and bordered on the foot with scroll
work of narrow silver braid The body
shows open work squares, worked in
gold to match. A high bodice, in the
fashionable deep rose lace shot with
white, has series of waved, converg-
ing lines of narrow, white insertion,
starting from the shoulders and form
ing points down the front only few
inches apart, embroidered at each end
with black and pink silk-certainly a
most original bodice. The coloring of
this is rather newer than the old pink,
for it has a dash of fame color in it.

Something New in the stars.

It would hardly occur to anyone ex-
cept an astronomer to search among the
stars for new chemical element Yet
the much-talked-of helium was de-
tected- in stars before it had been found
on the earth, and in the corona of the
sun there appears gas which has not
been identified with any terrestrial SUBJ
stance. Lately it was discovered that a.
star in the constellation Puppis, and a.
few others, exhibit strange spectral
lines, which were at first supposed to
belong to yet another new element,
But more recently reason has been
found for thinking that the strange
lines are due to hydrogen in some ex-
traordinary condition, only attained in
those particular stars.-Youth's Com
