G6OIOSiSdl cSdIuEoS OF the Terri

Washington, March 15.-Prepara-
tons have been made by Prof. Wolcott.
Of the Geological Survey, for extensive
exploration of the geological topo-
graphical and other features of Alas
ka. This will be done under authority
CT Congress, which appropriated the
sum of $4,000 for the purpose. Ten
officers Of the survey will be assigned
TO the work in prospect, namely: Geo.
H. Eldridge. Arthur Keith, j. E. Spur,
Alfred Brooks, e. G.. Barnard, w. j.
Peters, Robert Muldrow, w. S. Post,
W. C. Mendenhall and F. C. Shrader
In addition to the above named, Is
camp men will be employed. Four
partes are to be organized under the
general charge of Mr.. Eldridge. Seat
tie will be the Quitting point, and the
whole expedition will proceed there
about April /. The gunboat Wheeling
will transport the party. At Skaguay
two parties will be detached, the first
under Mr.. Barnard proceeding to the
Klondike region for the purpose of
making a typographical survey of the
district adjacent to the eastern bound
ary of Alaska--the 141st meridian.
The survey will extend westward from
the Yukon, between the 64th and 65th
parallels of latitude, and will include
THE FORTY MILE DISTRICT.
The map to be made by Barnard's par
ty will serve as a basis for a careful
geologic investigation of the region by
Mr.. Keith, who will use Barnard's
camp as base, but will operate to
some extent independently.
The second party leaving Mr.. Ed
ridge at Skaguay will be in charge Of
Mr.. Spur, who will cooperate with
Barnard in crossing the passes, and
upon reaching the mouth of the White
river will enter upon its special field
of wcrk-namely, the exploration OF
the White and Tanana river systems.

scend the Tanana to it's mouth, and
should time permit will explore the
Melogikaket with view TO future
operations on the Koyukuk.
After organizing the Barnard and
Spur parties at okaguay, MIR. Eldridge,
with the remaining members of the
force, will go in the Wheeling to Cook
Inlet, to land at the mouth of the
Sushitna river He is expected to pro-
coed with the entire corps then with
him up the Sushitna to about latitude
63 degrees 40 minutes, where several
forks OF the river combine. At this
point party under Mr.. Peters will be
detached to explore the northwestern
portion Of the Sushitna drainage basin.
with the expectation that their work
will connect with that of a party sent
from the War Department on Cooper
river and that they will close on Mr..
Spurs surveys down the Tanana.
After detaching Mr. Peters's party.
Mr. Eldridge will proceed with an as
sistant westward across the divide be-
tween the Sushitna and the Kuskok-
WIN to survey the headwaters of the

Grandfather,s Picture.

Sitting upright in your old-fashioned way,
With your staff tightly gripped in your
hand
Your stock and your coat were all right in
their day.
But. marry. how awkwardly planned!
What sad life you led,
Always going TO bed
As soon as twas decently dark
With no wonderful schemes
To work out in your dreams
And then to get up with. the lark
You lived in an age when the people were
Your engine was only the OK:
Your baggy old breeches were made out of
tow,
And you gloried in thick wooden socks.
Oh, you just worked away
In a rut every day,
Content to reap what you had sown,
With never a plan
To undo any man
By taking what wasn't your own.
And 50 you were sixty-and-three to a
Sixty-and-three when you sat for that,
Why, your eyes were bright, though
your head was gray
Had you not discovered that life was fat
And orofitless and stale
Had i not become weary tale,
OR could you sir, still
Feel the glad old thrill,
In your slow. duh way, at sixty-and-
three?
All. dear old man, there were revels. last
night,
Long after the curtain had been rung
down,
A man sat between a nymph and a sprite,
With bottles in front and birds done
browni
There were painted cheeks,
There were merry Shrieks.
With the world in a dizzy swim.
There were snowy necks
And disheveled wrecks
When the day broke, dull and dim.
! You lived in an age when the people were
slow,
You arose and were glad. with the lark;
| You kept your youth and you didn
know
OF dinners and revels after dark
Life never was stale
OR a wearisome tale
To YOU with your old-fashioned way
An. what will II be

But I'm older than that, today

my glove that morning..
Yes, you would, my dear. Jacks
mind was made up about you. He
meant to bring me with him one day
to scrape acquaintance with you some
how"
But I was not going that way any
more
What of that? He would have found
you out especially with me to help
him. 1t was a mere matter OF time
and patience, in which latter quality we
both excel. The fact of his seeing the
ring on your hand only FASTENED things
by giving him a reasonable excuse TO

Now my lady goes to the theater,
thanks to the agitation of the high hat
question, in a dainty confection of chif-
fon or mousseline de sole, with her
soft, fluffy locks prettily dressed, SO
she must needs have within reach
few Indispensable articles. Where
fore the purveyors to women's whims
have devised a very dainty bag, pre-
sumably to hold an opera glass, but in
reality large enough to hide away from
curious eyes a little comb, a little pow
der box and puff, perhaps soupcon of
rouge, madame's lorgnettes, fan and,
lastly, her opera glass.
These bags can be had in all the pale
evening shades of yellow, pink, blue,
green and lavender, and some are made
of rich brocade. They are fairly large
and square in shape, and when opened
present a good-sized receptacle for all
the various articles they are called
upon to hold.

any material desired, quilting of rib

the sides. They are really useful recep-

careful protection. AS such, howev-

the better they serve the use for which
they are designed.
