While the Trans-Siberian railway is
in process of construction, it is inter
esting to note that a movement is al.
ready assuming shape in this country
to establish connection with this gig
antic system by means of trunk line
built from Portland, Oregon, to Ber-
ing sea. OF course there are many
difficulties in the way, but if the enter
prise succeeds it will enable tourists
TO make a complete circuit of the globe
in less than thirty days. The Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway Com
pany has sent out map within the
last few days showing the character of
this proposed route. The time re-
quired to make tour of the globe by
means of this route is shown in the
following table, which also gives the
important stopping places along the
route:

The Englishman helped her down,
but she thanked him aud walked away.
Her manner implied that she would
make her own Investigations. She
wandered among the boxes and the
tubs and trays, hazarding a word TO
the washers here and there. Most OF
them did not understand her. She
came up finally beside Cameron's tub
and spoke to him. The on-lookers
fancied that she might be asking how

that the result will be sold retail

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There Is many Il gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in idle pleasure,
That Is richer far than a iewelled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure.
1t may be the love Of little child
Or mothers prayer to heaven
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For cup Of water given.
Better to weave In the web OF life
A bright and golden filling,
And do Gods will with u ready heart.
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver threads
OF curious lives asunder
And then blame heaven for the tangled
ends,
And sit, and grleve, and wonder.
