Gov. Brady or Alaska and other per-
cons familiar with the general features
and natural resources Of that north
ern most possession Of the United
States have frequently asserted that its
soil and climate are far more amenable
to the processes Of high civilization
than is generally supposed and have
predicted that the time would come
when Alaska would be the home OF a
large and prosperous agricultural pop
llation. Official confirmation of these
views is furnished in a report just
made by special agent Of the United
States agricultural department. who
has had charge Of an agricultural ex

that the territory viii ultimately be

The Growing Indifference to Wealth.

1
An interesting fact that one encoun.
ters is that strong men care less and
less for wealth. 1t becomes a mere
counter in the game that they play
for power or for sport, and oftenest
OF all from sheer habit. Having once
begun the game they suffer ennui II
they stop. 1t is here that our highest
educational problem is-to train strong
men to cultivate their souls" without
losing their vigor.
And the truly cultivated man. the
strong man who has both benevolence
and the higher resources Of mind and
character-such a man soon discovers
that it is no longer necessary to be
rich. To such man The accumulation
of great wealth for his personal enjoy
ment is a sheer waste of energy. A
right and well-balanced philosophy
will emerge in due time from our
boundless activity, and we shall see
a sound culture give balance to our
stronger personalities as it now
sweetens chiefly those that are less
strong.-The Worlds Work.

Orj9tn Of 81. VnlontinSpa na~

The origin OF st. Valentines day Is
obscure. Saint Valentine was a priest
Of Rome. who was martyred in the
third century. Douce says that 1t was
the practice in ancient Rome, during
great part Of February, to celebrate
feasts In honor OF Pan and Juno. At
these times, amid many ceremonies,
the names OF young women were put
into a box. from which they were
drawn by men. The pastors Of the
early church, striving to eradicate pa
gan superstitions. often substituted the
festival OF come Christian saint for
that Of heather deity. In this case
they probably chose that Of St. Valen-
tine. which occurred at nearly the
same time. but though the name Of
the day became Christian, relics of the
old pagan ceremonies still cling to IT.

From the Portland Oregonian.--
The Chinese residents OF North Va
kima have many sacks Of rice supposed
to have been poisoned by tho officials
and missionaries in China. One mer-
chant has twenty sacks put away, and
refuses to eat any or sell to the Chi
nese. Those who claim to know say
that at least $500 is invested in pos
oned rice in that city. The rice is
sold to Americans. but the Chinese
purchase their supplies from local
merchants. They say that elk years
after eating the rice the victims die.
The object of the poison. it is said, is
to Kill off all the Chinese in the United
States.

The strife to make money. which IS
so marked feature of the life of this
generation, marks both peril and an
opportunity, thinks the Christian Reg
lister. Once men were content to make
a living, because living was all they
could expect to make. Now they are
eager to make money. because for the
first time in the history of the world
It is possible for all classes to have
at least a chance to make money be-
yond the needs of what is called live
lihood. Now, in making money, one
is apt to forget the uses of money;
and the peril that besets us Is not to
be despised. Greed. selfshness. lux.
ury, sloth, gluttony, intemperance. op-
preston, cruelty. and all manner of
sins and vices gather themselves
about money-making in its meaner
forms. But We must not forget that
commerce, commercialism, and money.

to enjoy the real things in the beau

life; and he has the means of multi.
