July to be six or seven miles long,
and in some places between three and
four miles wide. From the peak of
the Blackfoot mountain the ice-feld
flows also in a northerly direction,
meeting another which runs down be-
tween Mt Kainah and Mt. Jackson.
while from Mt Jackson a number of
smaller glaciers flow down to the
timber line.
A little to the west of south of the
Blackfoot mountain and lying in a
great bend of Mud creek-tributary of
the Flathead-which entirely cuts it
off from the main range, lies Mt.
James. one of the three highest peaks
in this immediate section. Seen
from the east, it is shaped like the
squirefaced, peaked end of a hay
stack. and at distance appears very
difficult or impossible of ascent. It's
southern and western faces may be
more practicable than those on the
north and east appear. From the top
of the Blackfoot mountain the level
shows Mt Jackson to be the highest
of all these mountains; Mt. James the
next while Blackfoot is the third.
But the differences in height are very
slight.
A few miles northwest of -.
Jackson and lying on the west side
of the range is a little basin named
Avalanche basin by b. Sperry of
Oberlin, O., and on the mountains
overlooking this, Mr.. Speery tells us,
are extensive snowiields and a glacier.
From the summit of Blackfoot noun
tain it appears that this Avalanche
basin lies nearly south of Mt Piegan
of my map, and southwest of Mt. Rey
nolds. / understand that Mr.. Sperry,
who was, of course, unaware that the
mountain had been earlier named has
called Mt. Reynolds Matterhorn, from
the slender-as seen from the south
, west-finger of rock which forms its
peak. Mt. Reynolds is in the con-
tinental divide, although most of the
recent maps wrongly place it east
: of the divide.
RI II the locations of the Pumpelly
, glacier and of Avalanche basin with
I regard to definite and well-known
, points in the continental divide are
thus established, the matter is one
! of some interest to students of this
? section of the northern Rocky noun.

THE WIFE AND HER HUSBANDS
BUSINESS.

1T is a cause OF amazement to me
that man can go on, year in and year
out, toiling for family whose mem
bers show no interest in his work
further than to spend the money he
makes, and who look upon him as the
family mint" writes Frances Evans n
the January Ladies' Home Journal.
my firm belief is that had he, in the
first flush of married life, talked over
his business and ambitions with his
wife, she would have become interest
ed in both, first for his sake, and after
ward for her own and their chldren's S.
Think of the gulf that lies between a
man and woman united in marriage
when no never speaks at home of the
affairs which absorb his entire dayl
Mutual interests will bind people to-
gather indissolubly even when indiffer-
ence, that dangerous bridge of signs,
has swallowed up affection"

Logan, after playful protest against
rels from the late Gen. Sherman-the'
only man in the country allowed the
privilege of kissing the girls without
loss of dignity c. respect" says seri-
ously that mo girl or woman who so
far forgets herself as to kiss in this
promiscuous fashion compliments the
man upon whom she lavishes her I'M
solicited caress'' Edith NJ Thomas
thinks that in the present case "the
matter seems rather an infraction of
good taste than an offense against
morality" Nine. Sembrich charitably
thinks that the women ought perhaps
to be pardoned if excess of patriot
ism leads them into folly" but lnti-
mates that "those who have participant
ed in this kiss-the-hero play will after
a while be heartily ashamed of them
selves" Letaus hope so. Meanwhile
the average American man must be
wondering whether these silly girls
and sentimental women had no big
brothers or resolute husbands to pre-
vent their participation in such vul-
gar exhibition. If the women Were
thoughtless or hysterical or lost to a
sense of modesty. their natural pro-
tectors should have restrained them.
AS to the hero himself, his personal
dignity and good sense ought to have
been sufficient to enable him to avoid
these silly and demoralizing exhibit
tions. Even the laurel leaves that
honored an act of heroism have with
cred in this atmosphere of sickening
sentimentality.-Ne York World.

THE WHITE ROSE.


Mine eyes rest on a yellow'd page
Bedimm'd the print and touchsd by
age,
And lying faded there
In this lone, silent. dark repose
Are leaves of once a white, white
A rose once sweet and fair.
The faded leaves press DER line,
AS on soft wreath on loves own
shrine,
0 June of youthful years,
A face hangs DER the faded leaves,
A summer day in mem'ry cleaves,
And mem'ry drops her tears.
With book in hand we wandered
where
The skies breathed down the 'oftest
air,
And sat meath velvet shade,
And love came from the far-away
And fingered near that summer day
And DER our spirits played.
The distant hills like parapets
Came on the views soft silhouettes
OF drowsy, dreamy glades,
The brook that ran DER pebbled
brown
And waited softest music down
Ger tiniest cascades.
The seagulls in their southwark flight
Flashed silv'ry wings in golden light
And dipped the water clear;
A sail is gliding DER the stream,
The boatman stands with oar agleam
A drifting gondolier.
My voice. with voice so sweet ant
low,
And on her cheek the changing glow
OF summer sunset skies,
Brown tresses caught the wanderin,
breeze
And rose and fell as II to please
Mine own adoring eyes.
| 1t was a bounCeous love that came
No flashing eyes, no orient flame,
Tho passion came fleet shod-
1t was the soften'd, mystic breath,
The golden noon 'twixt birth an
death
The master touch of God
She took the white rose, placed
here
With her own hands, o memry dear
Tho changing years have rolled
Above me, yet she lives once more;
Again we wander on the shore
And skies are tinged with gold.
Each June ! see white roses raise
| Their smiling heads through summe
days.
Then fade away and die,
And summer days, l watch them fad
Into the deepnlng twilight shade,
And life is drifting by,
o land of souls, supernal land,
| see the white rose ian her hand
Angelic purity!
Her image wanders thro' my dreams,
She floats amid the heavily beams
In Gods security.
The book is closed, the moon comes
DER
rhe open transom of the door
And palely, softly glows
Upon my locks of silv'ry hair,
My heart gives out one silent prayer
Above the white, white rose.

Prof. Robert T. Hills report relative
to his exploration of the Rio Grande
in the Great Bend country has been
anxiously awaited. y special to an Ell
Paso paper from Langtry says:
Prof. Robert T. Hill of the United
States geological survey and party
pulled out of the Rio Grande here this
evening after voyage of over 500 miles
, through the wonderful canyons of that
stream between Preside del Norte and
this place. The trip was one of I'M
usual hardship and was made in three
boats; rapids and falls had to be
dragged over every few miles and at
one place portage was made over fallen
rocks in the grand cayon $50 feet high
Almost the entire distance traversed
was through canyons with great verti-
cal walls and no less than fifteen can
yons and mountain ranges We're cross
/ ed. A complete survey and meandor
( of the river was obtained, together
with over 500 Photographic views of the
magnificent scenery. which Prof Hill
prOnounces to be unsurpassed in this
country.
/ Valuable results were secured con-
corning the geological history and
! physical geography. Hardly a dozen
people were seen along the route, the
river being traversable to man or beast
at but few places. Only the most for
( tunate combination of circumstances
made the trip possible and notwfth-
standing the important scientific re-
suits the whole party avowed that all
/ the money in the United States treas
ury could not make them undertake it
again.

The United States department of ag-
riculture has had an agent travelling in
foreign countries looking up food and
forage plants which are susceptible Of
being introduced into this country with
profit. The department has recently
given out a list of the plants so far
discovered and reported upon. Among
them is a thOrnless cactus. 1t is a for
age plant Of promise for the warmer
regions and especially for the arid sec
tions. This is an opuntia or prichly
pear, which yields enormous amounts
CT the so-called leaves or pads which
are in, reality flattened branches, some
ten to fifteen tons per acre being often
reported. The pads contain only from
five to ten per cent of dry matter, but
being 4 watery food, it is adapted to
stock in dry regions. Thus speaks an
exchange. Now if there is anything in
the cactus line that Arizona has not
got already. she wants it as soon as
possible. Cactus is a specially here
and and the line SHOULD be completed
Aside from its useful qualities there IS
a vague indescribable feeling that If
Arizona is short even on one count her
reputation is in danger. Still if this
new plant has 10 thOrns on it it can
be much of n cactus. Possibly if it is
transpIanted here it Will develop

OPPOSED BY THEIR OWN Sen.
Reason Why Women Fail of Recogni-
ton in Departments.

why is it that women are practi-
calIy debarred from receiving promo
lions to the higher PLACES in the gov
ernment service?" asked a government
clerk Of a quarter of a century's ex-
perience. The question was put to sew
eral ladies in the treasury department.
Before any qRe of them had time to
reply the questioner proceeded to an
swer his own interrogatory.
at is because they are held back by
members of their own SEX" he said.
Some time ago a lady in one division
1 know of was so favorably regarded
that she would have been made chief
Of that division, but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks Of the same sex became indig-
nant and united in q protest. They
declared that they could never work
under her: that they would a thou
sand times rather have a man than a
woman to boss them. They wouldn't
allow her to lord it over them.
That is only a sample of many
cases. Women can be depended upon
to antagoniZe women under such cir
cumstances. Not only did they do SO
in the case I have cited. but they act
ually gave the marble heart and the
icy hand TO this woman after they de-
feated her prospects of a promotion.
I am satisfied that one of the most in
iluential obstacles to women in their
effort to secure equal recognition with
men comes from their own sex"
The man who asked and answered
the questions then moved off. before
his audience of lady clerks had an OPP
portunity to reply to his assertions
