IMPORTANT DATES.

IMPORTANT DATES.
The aboriginal inhabitants were the
Chippewas in the forest and lake regions,
and DakotaS or Sioux on the prairies.
The first white visitors, Groseilliers and
Radissou, French fur traders, came
about 1859. Du Luth came in 1879. Father
Louis Hennepin visited and named St
Anthony Falls, in 1880. Nichols Perrot
built fort at Lake Pepin, in 1888, and
claimed the country in the name Of
France. In 1853 France ceded Minnesota
east of Mississippi, to England, and west
of it to Spain.
The first American to visit the state
was Capt. Jonathan Carver, In 1865. His
heirs afterwards made claim to a large
tract of land covering the vicinity Of
the Twin Cities, under a pretended
treaty Of Carver with the Indians. Car
ver's cave at ST. Paul was long a fea-
ture Of interest. That portion of the state
east of Mississippi became part Of the
territory of the Northwest in 1877, and OF
Indiana country in 1900. In 1903 the por-
ton west of the Mississippi became a.
part of the United States by the pur-
chase Of Louisiana.

MOST MOUNTAINOUS COUNTRY.
Bolivia is the most mountainous coun-
try Of the world, and that portion of the
great chain known as the CordiIlera de
lie Paz, in the neighborhood of Lake III
ucaca, IS Of surprising grandeur-a col
onnade of pure white SUBMITS, extending
more than $50 miles almost in a direct
line. No ether group Of peaks will COM
pare with them. In Ecuador there is an
irregular cluster Of extinct volcanoes
which rival those of Bolivia in beauty
and picturesqueness, but lack their eleva-
tons. In Bolivia the twelve peaks of the
Cordilleras de La Paz rise above 10000
1eet. In Ecuador there are twenty vol
canoes in a single cluster, and eighteen
of them are covered with perpetual snow.
The lowest is 1882 feet in height. and
the highest Cnimborazo. reaches an alti-
tude of -, $50 feet. Three of the volcanoes
are active, five are dormant, and twelve
are extinct. Eleven Of the peaks have
never been reached by any living creature
except the condor, whose flight surpasses
that Of any otner bird. Cotopaxi is the
loltitst Of active volcanoes, but it's walls
are 50 steep and the snow upon it's breasr
Is so deep that ascent is impossible.
The loftiest mountain in the Andes is in
dispute. 1t was formerly Chimborazo, in
Ecuador, after Illampu in Bolivia and
now Aconcagua in Chile: but the con-
troversy cannot be settled until more
exact measurements are made Sir Mar
I'm Conway, the, Irish Alpine climber,
mace an ascent of several Of the highest
peaks in Bolivia, and reported the sum-
nit Of lllampu to be %, 25O feet This
was gratifying to the people of Bolivia,
put after he went to Chile and climbed
Aconcagua, which he reported to be rs
200 feet in height, he discovered an error
in his observations on Illampu and
knocked off 200 feet or So so that the
pride of the ChilenOS might net ho
wounded.
Very few of the measurements of the
mountains in South America are accur-
ate, but Prof. Bailey Of the harvard

GEMS AND THEIR MONTHS.
Oriental nations have a fanciful belief
that each month of the year is under the
influence Of a precious stone or gem,
which influence has a corresponding eff
rect on the destiny of a person born dur
ing the respective month This belief
spread to Europe and America, and from
1t has grown the pleasant custom among
friends of exchanging gifts ornamental
gems and their Influences corresponding
with each month are given in the follow
ing verses:

NO gem save Garnets should be worn;
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.

Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they the Amethyst will wear.

In March first open, shall be wise,

And wear Blackstone to their grave

Sunday STUDIO.

T h e Holly Spirit G iven.
The international Sunday school lesson
for May 26. The Golden text is from
John xvi, 10: ''When He, the spirit of
truth, is come, He will guide you into all
truth" The scene Is in Jerusalem. on
Sunday, May IS, A. D. 80 The lesson
is Acts H., Ill, the revised version, read
ing as follows:
% And when the day of Pentecost was
now come, they were all together i'll one
place. (2) And suddenly there came from
heaven sound as of the rushing Of
a mighty wind. and it filled all the house
where they were sitting. 90 And there
appeared unto them tongues parting
asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon
each one Of them. "a And they were all
filled with the Holy Spirit and began 10
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit
gave them utterance.
90 Now there were dwelling at Jerusa-
lem Jews, devout men; from every ma
ton under heaven. 90 And when this
sound was heard, the multitude came TO-
gether and were COMPOUNDED, because
that every man heard them speaking in
his own language CD And they were all
amazed and marveled, saying =
Behold are not all these that speak
Galilaeans? 80 And how hear We every
man in our own language, wherein we
were born? (O Parthians and Modes
and Elamites, and the dwellers IN
MesopOtamia, in Judaea and Cap
radocia. in Pontus and Asia, 40 i'll
the parts OF Libya about Cyrene,
and soscurners from Rome, both Jews
and proselytes, I'D Cretans and Arabians
we do hear them speaking in our tongues
the mighty works Of God.
We now enter upon a consideration OF
the results of the resurrection and as
cension of Jesus. The promise of tho
Father fell upon the disciples in accord
ance with Jesus words, and then with
great power they declared a risen and
glorified Christ. Nothing could stop their
triumphant preaching Of the gospel
neither threats, prohibitions, imprison-
mcnt nor persecution. They were inspired
and made fearless by their knowledge OF
Jesus triumphant over the grave and
of his now being at the right hand Of
God. We have before US a history of alb
sorbing and thrilling interest. The les-
son teaches
/. The Holy spirit will come to q church
or an individual only as his presence is
asked III sincere prayer.
2. Every true Christian can and should
have the indwelling presence of the Holy
Spirit.
3. The power Of every Christian fs
greatly increased by the presence in him
of the Holy Spirit
4. The presence in them of the Holy
Spirit causes Christians to speak as it
We're with new tongues

the outward signs Of the Spirits coming
and bis actual presence.
6. That the ordinary duties of life

Promises and Prophecies.

Fr ON S a ID Prophe cies.
The Christian Endeavor topc for the
week beginning May 26. Is found in the
second Psalm. This psalm, like the first,
is without inscril ton. In some manu-
scripts it is joined with the first, but
their utter lack Of unity is apparent to
ALL and for this reason they were seD-
arated. This psalm rings with the
tramp of gathering armies AMI notes of
lofty challenge addressed by the poet to
the inv aders Of his country. 1t must
have been written when Jerusalem was
threatened by a confeGer2cy of hostile
powers" The allies must have been
tributary monarchs, but who they Were
and what occasion is here described are
unknown. God has decreed the success
Of His chosen people, and the poet cal
upon the assembled nations to exercise
wisdom and TO serve the Lord rather
tnan oppose Him.
This psalm is a promise of the final
success of Christ's kingdom. 1t con-
tains a definite promise to this eff ct.
ASK of me, and l shall give thee the
heather fer thine Inheritance and the ut
termoSt parts Of the earth for thy pos
session. Thou shalt break them with a
rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel" Christ has
asked for the uttermost parts of the
earth and God IS fulfilling His promise
The heather are raging and imagining a
vain thing, but they cannot successfully
oppose the spread of Christs kingdom
Their only hope is in acce ting the
Christ and in serving the Lord and we
like the psalmist Of cid. should be
anxious to show unto them the rath Of
wisdom. We should do our part in send
ing those to them who know the folly of
their position and will instruct them to
be wise. to serve the Lord and to rev,
erence the Son.
