there partially abrogated. Its grip
was still firm upon the average of our
people, by whom religion was held to
consist in certain very unnatural way
of thinking and feeling. Those who
stood aloof from this were classed
either as opposed to religion or with
out it.

Never in the history of the American
turf has the gambling fever possessed
the habitues of the race tracks so CON-

several occa sions changed hands in less

started in the season with small bets
became intoxicated with early gains
and subsequently developed into plung-

Such Is G. Langdon, who began with
a small amount early in the season, and

1t was largely owing to Mr.. Towers
energy that the great iron deposits of
northern Minnesota were developed.
He tookthe presidency of the Duluth

and for five years was one of Mime

Philadelphia in 1887. he became vice
president of the Finance company, was
soon made president, and remained in
that Office until 1891, when he was
elected to leave active business for his
pursuits in literature. His most not
able production was the book, The
Marquis de Lafayette and the Ameri-
can Revolution." Mr.. Tower is a re-
gent of the University of Pennsylvania,
and wa president of its department of
archaeology and paleontology. and he
is member of a number of scientific
societies. He married Miss Helen

three sons. Lafayette college recently

his sterling worth, his prominence in

He is now rated as one of Philadel-

Fox Farming in Alaska.

Within the last Is years the new
industry of "fox-farming' has been
developed in Alaska. 1t originated
in the desire to preserve the valu-
able blue fox from determination.
The experiment was begun by plac-
ing 20 foxes on an unoccupied island.
In the course of few years some 80
islands were thus turned into fox
ranches 1t was found that the ami:
mails soon became sufficiently domes-
ticated to cease fearing their keep
ers, and to assemble at feeding
places. Eight hundred or a thou
sand foxes are included in a ranch.
At the proper age a certain number
are killed for their pelts. The bust
ness appears to pay very WELL and
it is suggested that other fur-bear-
ing animals might be domesticated
and propagated in similar manner.

In the religious training of young
people, adds Mrs. Howe, there should
be no place for much that still passes
in the name of religion-for 1.-THE re-
ligion of correct and set phrases, Of
familiar talk on themes which should
be held too sacred for words, of ter
rife images of future punishment and
inane visions of future reward"
Our aim should rather be, she thinks,
to present the cardinal points" of re-
ligion. She concludes:
"Faith, hope and love are to-day as
essential to the well-being of the hu-
man soul as they were when Paulcom-
mended them in his famous chapter.
We can present these great themes to-
day freed from the clouds which once
obscured them. Aspiration and serv-
ice, faith in the love of God and in the
right of every human being to the
goodwill of all-these doctrines do not
mutilate, but complete the man as
God intended him to be. It is said that
the great Napoleon, hearing, one day
the sound of mass-bell as he rode
through some remote village, sudden
" exclaimed: 'We must bring back the
church. It should need no Napoleon

molished, and set their feet in the

by the fact that NJ Jusserand speaks
English fuent1y. He is thoroughly in

frequently to American enterprise and
versatility.
In literary circles here NJ. Jusserand

''Tea and toast" was the laconic re-
spouse.
Gen. Booth acquired this habit in his
early years, when, during the course
of days work, he would take tea and
toast as Il stimulant, for then, as now,
he worked ii and 16 hours day. He
has never been able to break the GUS
tom thus formed.

friend, but then I'd have to break the
habit of working IA hours each day;

The general is 70 years old, but he
shows no sign of breaking down. 1t
is not an uncommon thing for him to
keep six secretaries busy taking let
tiers for an unbroken stretch of eight
or ten hours
1t was while debating to secretary
that Gen. Booth got his idea of the
present name of the movement OF
which he is the head. At first he called
it the Christian Mission. One day, as
he was debating circular on the
Christian Missions work, he said:
1.-THE Christian Mission is volunteer

it. 1.-The Salvation Army will be our
new name," he exclaimed.
Gen. Booth attributes his ability to
wear out his secretaries and assistants
largely to traits which enable him to
put aside care at an instant's notice
and to see the humor that lies in all
things.

It is understood that the senator is
the principal sponsor of Mr.. Thomp.
son in his diplomatic aspiration. The
compensation of the post to which he
is appointed is $4,000 per annum, and
while in recent years it has not been
the scene of any particular diplomatic
episodes. it is believed that, owing to
the pending dispute between Brazil,
Bolivia and Peru over the territory Of
Acre, and the necessity in the near
future of a Encouragement of tariff
arrangements between Brazil and the
United States, Mr.. Thompson's post
will offer considerable opportunities
for personal distinction.
