Travelling by Man.

The experiences of Captain Joseph
La Barge, as told in THE History of
Early Steamboat Navigation on the
Missouri River" includes this story:
Captain La Barge was pilot and
Indian trader for fifty eventful years,
and on one of his trips up the river he
had party of Englishmen aboard.
They had a map and applied them
selves industriously to the business of
identifying the various places ON it
with those along their route They
were in the pilot house good deal, and
one of them was inclined to instruct in
the geography of the country the vet
eran pilot. who had spent all his life on
or near the river.
"What place is this that we are APP
preaching. Mr. Pilot?" he asked.
est. Charles. sir" La Barge replied.
"You are mistaken. sir According to
the map. it is -"
La Barge made no reply. He stopped
as usual at st. Charles and then went
his way. Presently they came to an
other village.
"What place. captain" inquired the
Englishman.

This experience was repeated sew
eral times. the captains temper be-
coming more ruflied with each repeti-

passed over the river. The English
men were standing on the hurricane

"Good Constitution" Applies to Min

-UOOd IOuSt1tutlOn applies 10 uluu
"a good constitution, in order to be
thoroughly good, must apply to the mind
as we'll as to the body. No ones physical
structure can be healthy when his INTEL
lect is SICK" says Success.
As Herbert Spencer ranks as one OF the
profoundest philosopher scientists OF our
age, his words on the duty OF good health
are entitled to consideration. Stew seem
conscious" says Mr.. Spencer, "that there
is such thing as physical morality.
Mems habituai words and acts imply the
idea that they are at liberty to treat their
bodies as they please.
Disorders entailed by disobedience to
natures dictates they regard simply as
grievances, not as the effect of conduct
more or less fagitious. Though the evil
consequences inflicted on their depend
ents, and on future generations, are often
as great as those caused by crime, yet they
do not think themselves in any degree
criminal. 1t is true that, in the case OF
drunkenness, the viciousness OF bodily
trapsgression is recognized, but none
appears to infer that, II this bodily trans
erosion is vicious, so, too, is every bodily
transgression. The fact is that all
breaches OF the laws of health are physical
sins. When this is generally seen, then,
and perhaps not till then, will the physi-
cal training of the young receive the
attention it deserves"

A Man to Know.

One of the chief joys in life is to
know men by whom you can swear, to
know man here ans sssSre over the
world of whom you can say: "Wher-
ever he is tonight, there he is helpful,
truthful, sincere, wise, intelligent-an
educated gentleman; educated in every
faculty of his being, in those things
which go to make the body thing of
delight and beauty; educated in con-
science, so that even as the eye seeks
the light his conscience seeks the right;
educated fully and completely"

bought Art to Destroy 1t.

The attendants in the art gallery of
a department store in Brooklyn were
startled the other day to see a man de-
liberately destroy two pictures that he
had just purchased at cost of SAT.
The man is wealthy and aims to have
a collection of art objects that have no
duplicates. He had purchased in the
art gallery that was the scene of his
vandalism a painting for which he
paid $1,000. After it was sent home he
was showing it to friend. who, know
ing the collectors weakness, told him
he had seen two reproductions of the
painting in the same gallery, one priced
at $50, the other at $12.
$50 and buy them for me-" said the
collector, "and when you get them
break them up. I'll give you check
for SAT before you go home"
The friend declined the task; so the
collector went to the store himself,
pointed out the two pictures, and after
he had paid for them destroyed them
on the spot.
This same man ordered table with
carved top, for which he paid 5000,
and after it had been finished he went
to the artist who had designed it and
stood by him while he destroyed the
original drawing for the table. That
was part of the contract, and he
meant to see it carried out.-New York

and gravity of the distress now pre-

of men IN excess of the usual average
are out of employment this winter,
and the warehouses cannot sccommo-
date all the people demanding shelter.
Things have reached a serious pass in
the east end of the metropolis, while
the tide OF immigration is steadily
rising higher aud higher.
But a serious state of affairs also
exists in ether parts of Great Britain.
An endless stream OF country bred folk
are pouring into the overcrowded
cities, while Canadian farmers organ
ize expeditions to search the old coun-
try for much needed labor, and offer
good wages for efficient men, without
a satisfactory response.
The government is much alarmed
over the widespread distress.
