THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

Arbitration steadily and surely approaches
the standard of international law. The genera
treaty between Great Britain ana the Ch''eu
States incomparably the most important OF tile
kind ever made Is Low fully negotiated IL
was signed on Monday by Sir Julian Pauhce
fore and Mr. Olney on behalf of their respective
Governments. and sent to the United STATES
Senate for ratification, which, after due dehp
Grafton. il will probably receive. 1t Will then
become law. and for az least six years there
after will govern absolutely the settlement vi
all ordinary disputes that may arise between
tho two countries. AS the occurrence OF any
extraordinary dispute. Involving National honor
and territorial integrity, Is too improDapie 10
be taken into account, the treaty is suDstah-
tial guarantee Of amicable relations. AS sucn
IT'S contamination may well be regarded as
marking an epoch in the affairs Of nations or
more than ordinary beneficence. TO the general
principles of the treaty there can be no valid
objection. They stand approved in advance
nv the common-sense Of the Nation. In various
,mportant details the treaty as now disclosed
differs radically from the forecasts of II hitherto
made. These details demand especial attention
and some Of them may provoke crltclsn'
though on the whole they will probably be ap-
proyed as really better than what were at first
suggested.
In the first place. the treaty is not perpetual
nor an indefinitely enduring one. but is 10 last
for specified term Of years. namely i've.
Until the expiration Of that term. neither party
can withdraw from it. That will assure II a
fair trial and prevent its being dscredited and
abrogatcd the moment one party feels some dis
satisfaction with its workings. After five years
n NAV be terminated by either party on one
wears notice. but there is ground for lively
hone that such notice will never be given. In
the second place. it does not provide for the
establishment Of any permanent international
tribunal with extra governmental authority
Such a scheme was formerly suggested, and il
was even announced that II was being embod
led in the treaty, but 1t was widely regarded
AS chinerical and there will be much satisfac
ton at learning that II has been abandoned
Instead there is TO be a special tribunal ap
pointed for the settlement OF each controversy
that may arise, system which Will generally
be reckoned far more logical and practicable
In the third place. the proposition that the King
of Sweden and Norway should be n permanent
member Of the tribunal has been dropped, and
II is now agreed that he shall be appealed e
only when the tribunal fails TO agree In choos
ing an umpire. and then not TO serve as umpire
himself. but merely 10 appoint one. II Is alst
CT interest TO observe that the decision OF q

THE ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS.

DR.. William H. Dali. one of the cura.
tors of the National Museum, has spent
some time in alaska, having been there
at different times on geological expedi.
tione. He was there two years ago, and,
while not having been directly at the
Klondyke gold fields. has been near
there. and is thoroughly conversant with
the region in which they are located
Speaking OF the recent large amount of
gold reported to have been taken out
and the richness of the field, DR.. Dali
says:
II have no doubt that the facts as
told by the press are. in main, strictly
correct. The KlonYpke gold fields, how.
ever. are not in Alaska Territory. They
are in the British possessions, what is
known as the Northwestern Territory.
The Klondyke River, which has been on
the map for about twenty years, branch
es from the Yukon River, not far from
the boundary between Canada and
Alaska. The Canadian territory has
lately been divided into districts, name
being given to each, but do not recall
the name of this particular one. The
Northwestern Territory. however, EN-
braces them all.
"The nearest way to reach the Klon.
dyke River. which is very small stream,
and the gold fields is from Chilkoot In
let, S Gamers Iun from Sitka there,
and from Seattle and Tacoma. The dis
lance from Chilkoot Inlet, or rather the
head of it, to the Klondyke is about five
hundred miles. To reach there it is
necessary to cross the coast mountains,
and then the chain of lakes and short
streams which form the headwaters OF

Nansen, the Arctic Explorers Carrier
Pigeon.

One day carrier pigeo tapped at the
window of Mrs. Nanssn's home at Chris
tiania. Instantly the window was opened
and the wife of the famous arctic explorer
ia another moment covered the little
messenger with kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage thirty long months, but
had not forgotten the way home. 1t
brought note from Nansen, stating
that all was going well with his expedi-
tion in the polar regions.
Nansen had fastened message TO the
bird and turned it loose.
The frail courier dsrted out into the
blizzardIy air, flew like an arrow over
perhaps a thousand miles of frozen
waste. and then over another thousand
miles OF ocean and plains and forests. to
enter the window of its waiting mistress
and deliver the message which she had
been awaiting 80 anxiously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity,
and endurance. but this loving carrier
pigeon, after an absence of thirty months
accomplished feat so wonderful that
we can only give ourselves up to amaze
ment and admiration.-From NdnSen's
Arctic Explorations.

fectness. and he gives us sense of
our incompleteness. He secures unto
us eternal progress in the good, and
life ever in him, by our faith and obe-
dience. Our strength is labor and
sorrow. Our weakness is trust and
peace. We covet strength, and, re-
csiving it, we must pay the price for
it or the tax on it, We dread the
weakness of ill-health or the help
lessne SIS of age, and what comes by
the order of Providence hath gifts
unto the spirit. The blessed boon
of Gods sufficiency is near unto us.
Our frailty finds his might. Our
tanned passions rest in peace. The
soul chooses the better part which
cannot be taken away.

MISCELLANEOUS.
HIS MISSION.
BY EBEN H. REXFoRD.

They came through the meadows of child
hood together hand in hand,
And often they talked of the future that
waited in Manhood's land.
And one saw ever the glory that crowns
the peaks of Fame
In that strange and mystical country that
no man giveth a name.
" Up to the heights, whose beauty lures
me by night and day,
l will some time find my comrade, with
kindred souls the way;'
And because his eyes turned ever to the
heights, he could but sec
The beauty that was about him-blind to
it all was he.
But the other saw all the flowers that
grew by the paths they trod
He read by the hills and the meadows the
wordless poems of God;
He saw the sin and the sorrow that were
round him everywhere,
He spoke kind words to comrade and
lightened his load of care
g Here is work for my hands my brother,
l found it on every side.
1t may not be grand, like hero's, but
shall be satisfied
If into the lives of others l bring some
hope and cheer,
And feel that the world is better because
of my being here.
The ways their feet had followed parted
in Manhood's land,
And he whose eyes saw only the peaks
far off and grand,
Strove steadily on toward them, and
paused not once by the way
To help and comfort a comrade, as some
times the weakest may.
He climbs up the hills, and over their
submits passed from sight
And to-day he dwels in the glory that
crowns the mystic height.
But no mans heart thrills warmly when
another speaks his name
All! that soul has need of pity which
feeds on the husk of fame.
But the other saw all about him work for
his willing hands.
Has done it faithfully, nobly, as by a
kings commands;
He has helped the weak and the weary,
he has comforted those who mourn,
And no man knoweth the number of bur-
dens he hath borne.
He sang when his heart was heavy, songs
full of hope and cheer
And his songs brought hope and courage,
and all were glad to hear;
And men and women and children speak
lovingly his name.
All happy is he who indeth that Love
is better than famel

Public Baths in Europe.

Some facts as to the conduct and
management of public lighthouses in
Europe are given in the current month
ly bulletin Of the department of labor.
1t shows that the movement to provide
baths and washhouse facilities. which
originated in England in 1912. mas
spread widely in Great Britain aud on
the Continent, aud has not yet spent it's
force. 1t notes that the establl shment
OF public washhouses in connection with
lighthouses of the combined swimming
and cleanliness type is not so common
as in the early years OF the movement.
The success of the movement 10 Ger
many in establishing worSmen's baths
of the shower-bath type is cited as evil
dence that the simpler and less expen-
sive forms can be most protitably intro
duced by American cities in their first
attempts to provide working classes
with adequate baths for cleansing and
retreshment. The adoption of school
shower baths has been general in towns
aud cities already we'll provided with
swimming baths.

so much of our mental attitude to-
ward God and Christ that we have
not known what it is to live in this
true spirit Of faith and reverence. 1t
is not your mental attitude which
we can employ. We want the atti-
tude of the heart toward God. Your
minds will fathom little of the pass
ing thoughts of our time but your
hearts may commence with the rarest
and richest lines that ever walked the
earth.
All of US know how love flows on and
forever. All of us are we'll aware how
mercy, justice and reverence return
again and again like the flowers which
crown all the wooded hills and grace
the shaded valleys in the springtime.
We know how the perennial foun-
tain of life keeps up its journey be-
tween the green and messy banks of
years and we love the same old OBJ
jects we knew in youth and are warm
with affection for the same dear
friends who once delighted us. This
deep and abiding sense of Joy which
fingers and fingers, and if crossed by
cloud or an accident returns again,
is the sunshine of eternal life, light
ing us in all this dawning hour of
immortality. l need not tell you how
our thoughts perish. How yesterday
has already buried its dead and to-
day is teeming with new thoughts,
new plans, new speculations which
shall fall from the minds W here they
grow, as the leaves of the forest
shall be shaken by the autumn winds
and driven to their places of moul-
dering decay. l need not speak of
this, we all know how it is, and the
Older we grow. We perceive indeed,
that the fashion of this world pass
eth away. Its vanities die before the
eyes that have adorned them, and the
instruments of our patient moulding
lose their shape before the blasts of
time. Then how shall a man live
and what shall be the dream of his
life and the substance of his desire?
l ask you to find this higher life
which is never far away and to live in
heart more than thought and to give
your inner life your love to both God
and man. Then life need not be
burden nor desire fail, but as the
world rolls away and we feel our
feet upon the rim of time, another
world will dawn and the parting rays
of this period of existence will kiss
the eternal splendor as the angel of
morning takes us into his embrace to
tell us of that which eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard and which has
never entered the heart of man.
