Henri de Regnier was born at Hon
feur, near Havre, France. on Dec. rs,
1864. His first verses were published
in November, 1885, under the title of
Les Lendemains." This debut was
not unnoticed, but it was only in 1887,
with the publication of sonnets entitled

FAIR YOUNG ORATOR.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the
famous woman lecturer, has a charm
ing 17-year-old daughter, Evelyn
Louise, who bids fair to rival her
mother in the gift of oratory. Miss
Evelyn is now studying law in New
York, where her mother has taken up
a residence, with view to a politico-
legal career. She is the youngest wom-
an lecturer in the United States. She
made her debut as public speaker at
a meeting of the Peoples party in St.

a childs recitation and launching into
woman suffrage speech. Miss Lease

Many Regions of the Globe Are Yet I'M
known to Civilized Mop.
Young men with a taste for travel
adventure and discovery have been
lately in the state of mind INDUCED In
by Alexander, who sat down and wept
because there were not more worlds
to conquer. For the comfort and edifi-
cation of such, Henry M. Stanley, the
distinguished ex-tPaveler, publishes an
article on the odds and ends of earth,
which are still left open, or rather
closed, for exploration, and which,
with industry and economy, could be
made to yield something to the trav-
eler Mr.. Stanley begins with the con-
tinent of Africa, which still offers GER
tain parcels of ground, one of them 700
miles long and fifty miles wide, which
have never been thoroughly explored,
or, indeed, explored at all. Besides the
work of original exploration there is in
Africa an immense amount of supple
mentary exploration to be done. There
are mountains $4,000 feet high to be
climbed and written up in detail
These mountains all have names which
may be found in any good central At
RIGA lexicon. The great African lakes,
all discovered since 1850, are known
only, as it were. in outline. Their
depth or their altitude above the sea
level Is unknown as yet The Nile has
few more sources yet to be discov-
cred and so has the Congo. There are
believed to be active volcanoes in AT
RIGA which have never yet been studied
by white men. There are scattered
around in the forests and mountains OF
Africa whole tribes who have never
seen white face. These are all to be
looked up. Besides Africa, the CONT
nent of South America offers great
tracts of almost unknown country. An
American steamer occasionally ascends
the Amazon, but the vast forests on
the head waters of that stream-its
tributaries themselves great rivers-is
still a mystery The great chain of
the Andes has been crossed in many
places, but has not been traversed
lengthwise. A great part of the An
dean Cordillera is completely I'M
known, says Mr.. Stanley, both as to
its topography and geology. The Cape
and Cairo railroad has been spoken of
as depending on circumstances, but
one great explorers railroad is open
for business already. 1t is the great
trans-Siberian all-through route from
one side Of Asia to the other. South of
this road lies one-ffth of the continent
of Asia, stretching away to the Hima-
layas, which is good and fruitful
ground for the explorer. Thus Africa,
South America and Asia are yet to be
explored in large sections. The arctic
regions still present their hidden at
fractions and the traveller may still
seek them, cheered on by the hope of

Sites" that he attracted the attention
of the literary world. NJ de Regnier
belonged to the group of young poets
that received the name of 'Decadents,"
or "Symbolists," this last name being
permanently attached to those who
recognized Paul Veraline and Stephane
Mallarme as leaders. From 1887 NJ de
Regniers works appear in quick sue
cession. The titles of these various
poems are as follows: Episodes"
1888; "Poemes -Anciens ct Roman
esques," 1890; "Tel QUEEN Songe," 1892;
"Arethuse," 1895. In addition to his
poems he published, in 1895, a series
of stories, La Came de Jaspe," and
another one in 1899, LIE Trefe Blanc"
He contributed, both in verses and
prose, to the most important maya
zines or reviews of the avant-garde or
new movement. He contributes to the
Revue des Deux Mondes, and to the
Revue de Paris" and also to several
important papers literary articles over
his signature which are highly appre-
ciated. The French academy awarded
him this year the Prix Vitet, for his
works, and NJ CASTOR Boissier, the
secretary of the academy, expressed
himself in the following manner in his
official report: IN. de Regnier is one
of the leaders of that new school which
pretends to do no less a thing than
modify the form and the spirit OF
French poetry. The enterprise is a
daring one. Everybody recognizes that
M. de Regimen has very fine poetica
gifts, abundance and richness in
images; amplitude and harmony of the
period, a grace both provoking and
natural that makes him admired ever
of those his boldness displeases." M
de Regnier was made chevalier of the
Legion of Honor in 1897. He married
the second daughter of Jose Maria d,
Heredia of the French academy, the re
nowned author of Les Trophees," anC
is in consequence Of this the brother
in-law Of M. Pierre Louys, the author
of "Aphrodite" and "Chansons dc
Bilitis.''

Sleep on Your RAck.

ITO grow younger you have only to
sleep upon your back and avoid pill
lows" says a physical culturist. Her
theory is that since during the day the
muscles of the face are inclined to
drop, we should counteract the droop-
ing with the head on level with the
body or even lower than the body.
This practice is warranted to do away
with that arch enemy Of woman, that
wrinkle.

hard temper OF the time. Laud was
more than seventy years old. He had
been for nearly five years safe under

too trivial to be worth thinking Of in

whether a man pay $50 a year for his

of 1.-THE Pew and the Man in II" In the
Ladies' Home Journal. The church
authorities should see that the house,

In 1t for himself, his wife and the chill
dren which God has given them. There
is no reason in the world why the rich
man should not pay a handsome sum
for his church home. And some Of us
have never been able to understand
why an artisan should not give some
thing for his church home also. Surely
every man wishes to do what 10 right
in the direction Of his church. Every
self-respecting man likes to pay for his
home whether 1t be large or small, and
it touches a mans honor to live In q
workhouse, where he pays no rent and
depends on the public. There 10 no
necessity that this homo feeling and
this just independence should be de-
MED in the house Of God, but 1t rather
seems good thing that the man who
works and gives to provide house

incomplete, this indicates that the an

run far above this sum, as the Pacific
