UP MOUNT AssINIBoINE.
Successful Trip of Explorers in the canad-
ian Rockies

Henry c. Bryant, president of the
Geographical Society of Philadel
phia, has Just returned from an ex-
ploring trip of the Canadian Rocky
Mountains, made in company with
Louis J. Steele, and sailed for Betlln
where he represt nts the local society
At the International Congress OF
Geographers. Speaking about the
trip. Mr.. Bryant said
The party left Bauff Springs,
Alberta, Northwest Territory, on
July a Our best achievement was
the discovery of new pass over the
Central Divide, which is just south
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, by
way of Heally Creek and Simpson
pass. We reached our objective
point, Mount Assiniboine, in three
lays and a half. he only travellers
who ever entered this region before
us took seven days in making the
journey. They we're six white men
We, therefore, felt that we had ae'
complished something in finding a
much shorter route to this famous
mountain, the height of which is
IL SIC feet"
The intention of The explorers was
to ascend Mount Assiniboine from
the west side, but after climbing up
10000 feet and reaching territory
that human being had never set foot
on before. they were forced to de
scend. The descent was perilous and
an approaching storm caused the
men TO hurry.
While on the snow slope, cutting
steps for our safety in the hard snow
and ice," said Mr.. Bryant, " we sud
denly came upon projecting rock
At the moment my companion, Mr..
Steele, slipped. 1t was a moment OF
life or death. If we had been dashed
down on the rocks below We would
have been killed.
" Just had time to strike my aS
helve into the snow and thus secured
a better hold, but the force OF the
tug on the rope when Mr.. Steele fell
was so great that was hurled down
the slope. By a quick movement my
companion reached an opening where
the snow meltG d owing to the heatradi'
ated from rock. The stable footing
which we here secured arrested oul
descent. We were after that enabled
to continue our journey at leisure
The last stage of the descent, about
$50 feet. was made by sliding down
the face of the mountain. Not al
bows slide on the level, Of course
The mountain sliding is called glIs'
sading. We lay down on our backs
and put our feet close to the ground
With the ak helve tightly under the
right arm, its blade cutting deeply
into the ice, we slid swiftly down th'
steep slope. The sx acted as helm
and by little shifting we could pho
curse Ives out of the way OF things
apparently not smooth enough fol
our comfort"

THE BEST WAY no DRIVE AWAY
SULKINESS.

The sulky child is far more difficult
to deal with than the passionate child.
This form of ill temper is common
with sensitive children, whose feelings
are easily hurt, and who are apt to be
morbid and dwell on fancied injuries.
Children who are deficient in a sense
of humor are often inclined to sulki-
ness. A good laugh will nearly always
drive it away, just as the sun dispers-
es bank of black clouds.
In young child the fit of sulks
should be cut short as soon as possible
by diverting the mind, that the mood
may not become habitual. AS the
reasoning faculties develop, each at
tack should be promptly dealt with.
Ridicule is sometimes the best weapon
to use; a smiling assumption that the
black looks are not a true index of
the feelings, surprise that any one
should wilfully make himself look so
unamiable and ENJOYABLE to those
whom he loves best, all may be tried.
With other natures a serious inquiry
into the grounds of offense is more
effectual. If there is a real grievance
the sulkiness may disappear when it
has been thoroughly ventilated. If
these means fail, some form of pun
ishment must be tried; Punishment is
perhaps the best, for the pleasure de-
rived from sulking is totally lost if
there is no one present to be affected
by it, and solitude is always a help in
recovering the temper.-Ladies Home

"Once" says writer, 81 suddenly

to college, then into life's sterner du-

glimpse of my mother at prayer, nor
the one word-my own name-which

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas was primarily the Christ
mas, or service of songs and worship
in honor of Christ. The same enclitIc
syllable in words like Hollowmas and
Michaelmas marks one day or another
in the ancient church calender OBJ
served religiously for saint or sa-
cred event.
Much of the religious character of
Christmas has been trified out of it by
the gaiety of nations, but so long as
reverent minds hold a remembrance
of the babe of Bethlehem the mean
ing of the day cannot be lost.
1t is feast day, but something in
fnitely more is celebrated than the
autumnal plenty of land, or the birth
of nations hero. 1t is a holiday,
but the source of it's joy is higher and
holier than the stars, and some thought
of this should determine the forms
and tokens of our gladness. Mere
merrymaking for it's own sake too
easily degenerates into revelry.
More than one inherited pagan GUS
clings to Yule- tide could we'll be
spread on a day and night that recall
him whom the wise men of the east
worshipped and who was born and
died for mankind. But better than
the spirit of arrant frolic which too
commonly rules the Christmas of
modern civilization was the rude sim
certify of the first Christian Goths who
built great fires ON bethlehem night
to consume their old wicke dness, and
help them begin their lives anew.
Chronology may never fix the pre-
else day or even month when Jesus
was born, and science and reason may
speculate over the manner of his ad-
vent till the end of time, but his life
and influence are eternal facts. They
will remain the miracle of the ages,
working "Peace on earth and good
will to men,"

cotton, and the market advanced two
points during the first hour today. Some
outside buying was also prominent. The
market was dull, however, Southern or

the close OF the New Orleans market.
Rain fell at Abilene, Yicksbarg and New
Orleans. Other sections were dry. The
temperature ranged from sixty to eighty.
AS the day advanced prices gradually rose
until three points gain was shown on the
feeling gaining ground that dry weather
is becoming serious.
Spot sales at Liverpool were 10000.

Chicago. June 6.-The feature of today's

resulting from enormous liquidation OF
long wheat, largely for st. Louis account.
There was nothing new in the way of crop
reports, but receipts of wheat in the
Northwest still continue heavy, while the
cash demand is very light. 1t was this
condition probably more than anything
else which led TO the heavy selling today.
