! Christ did not come to crzmp amp
I sre's manhood: He came to broaden
It, He did not come to destroy our
manhood: He came to fulfil it. A thor

What ought Christian to read? Every

There are two ways of lighting a dark

The following information was 70
ceived by wire late last week from Mr..
Crafts. who, with Mrs. Ellis. our sup
erintendent Of Christian citizenship
and legislation, is vigilantly watching
reform interests at the National CAPT
tai: The superintendent of the new
national library has granted permits
sion for the sale Of wine and beer in
its restaurants. The national museum
is expected to follow. Beer in base
ment and bacchantes in upper story
viii create a fine intellectual atmos-
phere! Evidently the library authori-

books, and so they think wine and beer
harmless. The President declines to
interfere. A snowstorm Of petitions

ment buildings will block this evil"

Paris, Feb. 15.-Henri Rochefort,
speaking of the pending trial of NJ.
lola, said: ''Zola will be convicted.
There is so great pressure OF public
opinion acting on the jury that one
cannot expect anything but conviction.
On the other hand, lola does not seem
to me to be well defended, and his
counsel seems to be dragging the af-
fair out as long as possible. 1 don't
think lola will go to prison, nor do I
think he will be obliged to pay fine.
After the trial is over. its conclusions
will be considered by the court of cas-
sation. But supposing lola is ac-
quilted. he will not be able to show
himself in public in Paris, nor for that
matter, anywhere in France, without
danger to himself. He could
not very well live in Paris without a
body guard continually about him.

tile lands of Western Canada, which
were made at the several state and
county fairs in some of the Western
states this fall, have awakened consid-
cradle interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given free
to settlers. The agents of the govern
ment, who are to be found in these
states, are flooded with inquiries re-
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during
the past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era OF
prosperity, and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces Of Mani
toba, Assinaboia and Alberta are spe-
cially adapted to diversified farming
In some parts the country is specially
adapted to stock raising, and it is be-
ing proftably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains week at time,
the warm breezes from the ocean af-
fecting the climate thus favorably
When the desira bility of these lands is
fully known there will be a rush such
as has scarcely ever before been

GOLD HUNTERS PERISH.
Forty Lives Lost e. the Steamer Clara
Nevada, Bound for Juneau.

Forty Lives Lost on the Steamer Clara
Nevada, Bound for Juneau.
Victoria, Feb. 15.-The steamer Is
lander brings news that the steamer
Clara Nevada, of Seattle, was burned
in Lynn canal and forty men who were
on board, are supposed to have per-
ished.
The Nevada left Skaguay for Juneau
February 5, and when the Islander
reached Juneau the Nevada had not
arrived there. The day that she should
have reached Juneau fire was seen on
the waters of the canal and the opin-
ion is general that the flames were
from burning steamer. Whether the
passengers and crew reached land, or
whether they persisted is not known.
1t is feared that they met with death,
as there has been terrible wind and
snow storm in the north and small
boats could hardly live. Captain Irv-
ing, from the Islander, reports that
the weather has been terrific.
The Clara Nevada was formerly the
Hosler, which was built at Camden, n.
j., in 1872, for the United States coast
geodetic survice. Last summer she
was condemned by the government
for the reason that she was out of date
and sold to the Pacific and Alaska
company, who had her
thoroughly overhauled before placing
her on the Alaska line. She was con- /
'idered perfectly seaworthy.
