of the shores of which impressed them
much, they entered the Father of Wa

river for a thousand miles. Exploring,
they seemed much impressed by the
frfghtful appearance of the monsters
painted in red, blue and green colors that
disfgured certain high cliffs below the
mouth of the Illinois. Pursuing the hu-
name policy of kindness and frankness,
Joliet and Marquette in their native and
the chefs of the Illinois Indians received
naked dignity, smoking the calumet OF
peace, and declaring with Unborn grace
that their presence made the river more
calm, the sky more serene and the earth
more beautiful" They passed the lone

and opulent city of st. Louis, and later
saw on their left the stream to which
the Iroquois had given the name Of the

explored the Mississippi to the Arkansas,
coverers accomplished a perilous but
safe return, having been absent from CIV
ilization just four months.
Joliet, although the son of Quebec
Wagonmaker, was an enterprising trader,
a brave, keen-eyed explorer and an hon.

and fortune he lost in the Lachine rap

Pere Marquette was born in the pic

the spiritual guide and life Of the eXpe-
dition. AS self-denying a soul as ever
gave up life for humanity and God, he
nassed to his eternal reward in May,

Jesus and Mary while calmly expiring
in the solitude of the wilderness. A year

labored, tenderly bore his remains In a

The heat rolled in waves over the sand,
making the small body of horsemen gal
looping out of the scanty wood on the
east seem giants of another world breast
ing the pillows of new atmosphere.
Into the desert they rode and a quarter
of mile out halted and dismounted, the
leader glancing sharply at the hazy out
line of the sleeping mountains that lay
behind the wood. A second pony, carry
ing long, muffied figure, brought up the
rear, and round this they gathered, talk
ing sharply, the leader making emphatic
gestures as he now and then disagreed
with the rest.
The ponies moved uneasily in the heat,
and the bundle groaned. One of the men
cut the ropes by which it was bound to
the pony and it rolled off. The men talk
ed for a short while longer, then they
scattered, one of them kneeling by the
bundle, kicking 1t and cursing softly as
he loosed the neck of the bag. A gaunt
naked man was revealed, his eyes closed
and only the heaving Of his chest show
ing that he was alive. On his forehead
was branded an ugly, raw-looking "a, ;"
scarce healed: his face drawn and twist
ed and his hair white. The terrible sun
beat down on him, but he did not move.
His capter hauled him out of the bag
by his hair and dragged him to where
the rest were gathered. Four stakes
projected above the sand, and his arms
and legs We're stretched apart until the

Cavalier De La Sale.
The greatest of the early explorers
cannot be followed through his northern
lake and Canadian successes and fail
ures; his quarrels with the Jesuits and
his other distressing fluctuations. 1t is
enough To know that his merits won the
confidence and unvarying support of
Count Frontenac, the ablest of all the
early French governors, and that the
illuStrious Colbert and the worldly-wise
Louis XIV. were the chief promoters of
his far-reaching discoveries. Born of
good family, in Rouen, he came to Can
ada at twentythree, with splendid
physique, an excellent education, high
ideals and high ambition. Among the
fruits of a first voyage was the explora-
ton of Lake Ontario the discovery Of
the Illinois river, and visit to the Ohio
river and to the present site of Chicago.
From the second expedition resulted the
first sight and first description of Mag
ara falls by Father Hennepin, one Of La
Sales party; the building of the Griffin,
in 1879, on Niagara river; the explora-
ton of the lakes as far as Detroit in this

stnews cracked in an effort to reach the
stake. to which they were bound with
deer thongs.
The leader drew a bag from his pocket
and carefully made a train from the
mans feet to a little mound some forty
feet away, kicking it over when he reach
ed it; then, taking last look at the
PROSTATE figure, mounted his horse, and
followed by the rest, rode to the wood,
taking southeast course. The man lay
very still, his seyes closed, breathing
softly; the sun beating down on him and
making his proportions seem gigantic as
he lay outstretched. A condor hung
longingly In the air. and, growing holder,
came down, wheeling In great circles;
then made a sudden feint. The mans
chest heaved, but he did not open his
eyes, and the scayenger flew to the
ground a short distance away, waiting.
An angry red line moved from the broken
mound, coming nearer, as 1t followed
the trail that led to the man. Nearer it
came, then reached him and broke,
spreading.
The condor came nearer The red line
spread over the man. His body contract
ed and the muscles of his legs became
stiff. His face grew asnen and his hair
rose. Again and again he quivered, the
veins standing out like knots on his arms,
which heaved and tugged terribly at their
bonds. His body bent like bow as he
stroye to move. 1t was a terrible strug-
gle, more CHASTITY by the deathIy still

a measure for the naturalization of for
eign Protestants, and Sir John, in the
course Of violent invective, exclaimed,
Let US first kick the bill out of the
house, and then let us kick the foreign
ers out of the kingdom'-this observa-
ton being aimed at Williams Dutchmen,
If not at the king himself.
But what Sir John anlys proposed to do
with this bill the commons actually did
with another obnoxious measure in ITO.
The peers had presumed to alter money
bill by striking out a provision which
offered bounty upon the expectation of
corn. The commons, Indignant at the
treatment of their depAtation, who had
been contumaciously elected from the
peers chamber, and further incensed by
the fact that on another occasion Burke
had been kept waiting three hours at the
door of the upper house with a bill sent
up by the commons, took the present
opportunity to show II emphatic manner
that there was at least one privilege on
which they would not allow the peers to
encroach. The amendment was prompt,
ly rejected, and with it the bill. The
speaker tossed the document over the ta-
bic, and members Of both parties, as
they went out kicked It toward the door.

has been tracing so-called slang phrases
through the labyrinth of various Ian
guages, and has found that many Of them
are Of ancient and some of classical ORR
gin, like the famous phrase. He's a
brick" AS most every one knows, this
originated from the reply of the king
Of Sparta, who, when asked where were
the walls of his city, replied that Sparta
had $1,000 soldiers, and every man Is q
brick" Tt was once the custom in
France to serve to a guest who had out
stayed his welcome a. cold shoulder Of
mutton instead of hot roast, as gentle
hint to terminate his visit. Hence the ex-
preston, ITO give the cold sholder."
Back in the days of Good Queen Bess'
a shoemaker named Hawkins committed
suicide by standing on bucket to bring
him nearer to the convenient rafter
which he had selected for his hanging
place. Having made fast the rope he
kicked the bucket away and SO accom-
plished his purpose. Hence to kick the
