DOWN THE CHILKAT PASS.
Tuck Up Your Clothes, Sit Down on the
Snow and SIide-Time One Minute.

In letter from +. c. Patterson, dated
at Canyon City, Alaska, January 81,
1898, he says:
This is great country, and l am
glad came, but the living is more than
tough. | was under the impression
that | knew something of camp life,
but this is an entirely new experience.

call Canyon City-a camp where the

on its tramway. This is the first day
since my arrival doth inst.) that have
seen the sun. 1t is not extremely cold
(the mercury ranges from zero to 30
degrees ahove), but it is nearly always
cloudy and the wind blows hard most
of the time.
"A few days ago went to the summit
of Chilkat pass. From this place (siX
miles north of Taiya) it is seven miles
to what is called the foot of the sum-
NIT, and it seems like 40 when you walk
it; but after so much has been accom-
plished ones troubles have just begun.
The ascent is, say, 500 feet, and almost
straight up. 1t would be impossible
to make the climb but for the snow,
which is on an average 40 feet deep;
this provides footing, and it required
more than an hour for me to make the
summit, where a level stretch of about
100 yards interviewed before the second
climb, much sleeper, was made, which
landed me on the real summit of Chilkat
pass.
when ready to leave, and it was not
long, the Indian guide said: DO as l
do and proceeded to tuck his clothes
under him, seated himself in the snow
on the edge of the slope and away he
went down the side of the mountain.
| followed. The experience was excit-
ing, and after crossing the level
plateau took another slide, reaching the
bottom in less than a minute, while it
had required more than an hour to
mount. In watching a man descend it
looks for all the world like cloud of
snow shooting down the mountain, and
the victim lands at your feet; such is
the Chillat pass. Two men were frozen
to death on the summit last week.

BETRAYAL of Military Secrets.

The betrayal of military secrets by
venal officers was and is constantly oc-
curing in all the continental armies.
In October, 1890, Lieut.. Jean Bonnet
was tried at Nancy for being in the pay
of a foreign power and selling docu-
ments relating to the national defenses:
he was convicted. In 1888 AdJt. Chef
lain was also convicted of selling mill
tary secrets to the foreigner, and in 1895
a similar charge was brought home to
Capt. Guillot. None of these cases eX-
cited more than passing attention in
the press. Had these men been Jews it
would, of course, have been Otherwise

Don't.

Don't think it is disgraceful to tumble
to your faults.
Don't think that every man who asks
your advice really wants it.
Don't put on too many airs as you
float down life's stream; your little boat
may capsize.
Don't get the idea into your head that
you can pull yourself out of trouble
with corkscrew.
Don't rely on the promise of a topper
simply because he has the reputation of
being a full filler.
Don't be hasty in jumping at g conclu-
sion. You may not be able to col4set
your accident policy.
Don't imagine that the man in the
orchestra chair gets better show for
his money than the boy in the gallery.

COMPLETELY DISCOURAGED.
Are Thousands of People who Have
Chronic Catarrh.

catarrh has become one of the most preva-
lent and universal diseases known to man.
Nearly one-third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in some of
its many phases or stages. Add to this fact
that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed
or chronic; also the further fact that it is
capable of producing great many other
diseases, and we begin to realize the true
nature of this dread disease So formidable
has catarrh become that in every city or
town of any size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment of catarrh
a speciality. Mr.. Ralph w. Chulip, La Porte,

says: 81 have bean troubled with catarrh

October 80.

Subject, "Messiah's Kingdom
Foretold.' lisa. IL: lilo. Golden
Text, "The earth shall be full Of the
knoSledge OF the Lord as the waters
cover the sea-" lisa. IL: 9.
The Prophet Isaiah tells of time
when One who is both the Father
and the Son of David, his Root and
Branch, shall appear upon the earth.
He shall have the spirit of the Lord,
OF wisdom, understanding, counsel,
might and knowledge. He shall not
judge with ordinary sight and hear.
ing, but with righteousness shall
He j Judge the poor and argue the
case of the meek, and destroy the
wicked with the breath Of His lips.
At that time the wild beasts will
be tame 30 that q little child shall
lead them. Wolves and lambs,
leopards and kids, calves, lions,
bears, serpents, will all feed togeth-
er, and shall not hrrt or destroy
each other, for the earth shall be full
OF the glory of this Wonderful Per-
son.
In that day the Gentiles shall seek
Him, and He shall set His Hand
again the second time to recover the
remnant Of his people, the outcasts
Of Israel and the dispersed Of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
They shall be once more gathered
into one Kingdom with one King,
never to be divided into two king
doms any more, They shall Gy up
on the shoulders of their enemies
who shall obey them, and they
shall enter into Israel's land like as
1t was TO Israel in tho day that he
came up out Of The land of Egypt.
In that day Israel shall say what
the redeemed should now say, abe
hold, God is my salvation; 1 will
trust and not be afraid; for the Lord
Jehovah is my strength and my
song; He also is become my saliva
tion."
How very different from these
present times will i. be when the
earth is full of Gods knowledge and
glory. He is known today nomi-
nally in only one.fourth OF the
world, the proportion OF inhabitants
in christian and heather countries,
but the knowledge is far from say.
Ing in many home, and there is
not yet one single home or heart full
of Him as the sea is full of water ,leav.
ing no room for anything else, but
most thoughts, many words, many
deeds, are only for self. How long
ingly then must the redeemed-sav-
ed by grace through faith the gift
Of God, not OF themselves-look for.
ward 10 the time when He shall ap.
pear, and they be like Him, for they
shall see Him as He is. For the
honest believer knows that he is far
from being like Him now, although
son born into the Royal family,
the free gift of God to every one
who believes, to which title nothing
can be added by prayer, or church
going. or almsgiving, or diligence,
or self-denial, or holiness-all being
the gift OF God, through Christ, TO
faith, belonging equally to every be-
lever.
Beloved. nov are we the sons OF
God "And every man that hath
this hope in Him puriieth himself
even as He 10 pure"
