self on the extreme limit. In 1865 Mr.
Bompas, then a young English deacon
SO years old, presented himself for or
dination to the priesthood in order that
he might go out for missionary work.
He was assigned to the Mackenzie Riv-
er and Yukon districts. On Christmas
day, 1865, he arrived at Fort Simpson,
where he preached Christmas sermon
in the rude church that had already
been constructed. In 1874 he was con-
secrated Bishop Of Athabasca, and the
journey to England at that time is the
only break in his years of service in the
Northwest which he has allowed HIM

The Bicvcle for Military Use.

The bicycle corps of the Twenty fifth
United States Infantry recently rode
from Fort Missoula, Mont, to ST. Louis,
Mo, distance Of 1000 miles. The
commander of the corps has reported
to the War Department that the trip
required thirty-four days Of actual
travel, at an average rate of 6.3 miles
per hour. A large part Of the trip was
made under trying conditions, over
mountains, and on sandy or muddy
roads, with an occasional fording Of

Cultivation implies something to cul-
tiyate. We plant the seed in favor
able soil If we would reap a harvest.
We train the muscle that already has
some strength if we would make an
athlete. We foster an aptitude for using
tools If we would make good mechan-
ic. In like manner, if we would cult
yate the moral nature, we must seek
for the best instincts that are already
active, and nourish and develop them.

starting away with a grip on Friday

and remaining until the following Mon

takes in addition a three-weeks' vaca-

that the Briton is better versed than
the American in the art of resting.

rapidly. He became a lieutenant in
1868 and a commander in 1875. He
served in a dozen or so of the big war
ships of the Queen. It is not too much
to say Lord Beresford is the most pop
plar man in the navy. His personal
bravery has challenged admiration
from all hands. He has the gold medal
of the Royal Humane Society for hav-
ing on three occasions jumped into the
sea to save the lives of others at the
risk of his own. At the bombardment
of Alexandria Beresford distinguished
himself by the most gallant conduct.
This engagement required the taking
of tremendous odds, but the COM
mander never hesitated to plunge into
the danger, and his splendid COM
membership carried him safely and
honorably through. His work in the
Egyptian expedition as naval aid to
Wolseley was of the first order. Fo
some years in the past Lord Beresford
has devoted his spare time to a cam,
paign in favor of the navy. His work
here lay in the reformation of the red
tape system of the admiralty, which
had gone so far as to seriously cripple
the service.

Many a young man has come to grief

stingy and mean; many young mar

Students Of labor strikes, of whom
the most assiduous should be the la
borers themselves, should not fail to
note the following important facts,
namely: That most strikes are fol-
lowed by an influx OF workmen eager
to take the places Of the strikers; that
the determination Of the strikers to
keep the newcomers from working, re-
suits frequently in disorder, and that
every infraction of the law puts the
strikers at disadvantage and decreas-
es their chances of winning. The plain
truth Is that the supply of labor in most
OF the industries Is in excess of the de-
mand. Under normal conditions this
would give employers opportunity to
discriminate in favor Of fidelity and
efhciency-a right which every en-
ploye, if he employed workmen, would
feel that he could consistently claim: a
right, too, as advantageous and import
ant to workmen as class as to employ
ers, because its tendency would be 10
