lower 600 miles upward from the gulf of California, which had been explored about two years before. The govern ment furnished rations for the ex- petition, and that was the only con- nection which the government had with it.
 Maj. Powell had four boats three of them twenty-footers and another small boat which was to be used in investi- gating the side rivers. The small boat proved more or less of a myth and was lost on the way down, as was also one of the larger boats, so that the eX- petition really finished up with only two of the big boats left. The party entered the Colorado at it's junction with the Green river. It was the in tentiOn to make a leisurely trip through the unknown section of the river GOV ering a distance of about 1000 miles, but by the time they had reached the head of the Grand Canyon proper some of the provisions had been lost and the rest were going rapidly, so it was nec- essary to make a dash through in order to reach eatables at the other end. It was not a case in which they could abandon the boats wherever they chose, for there were only three cross ings of. the Colorado in the whole of lildl lUUO IIllleS ana once m In6 canyon the party had to stay there.
 The members of the party met with all sorts of hardships. some of them crippled up with rheumatism. and they never knew at what moment they 5might plunge into falls or rapids from which it would be impossible to ex- tricate themselves. In fact. once start on the down grade with the river, there was very little turning back There were some places where, at low water, there were perpendicular falls of ten or twelve feet. They could us- ually be gotten around, but there were long stretches of rapids where the can- yon walls came down sheer to the wa ter's edge and where there was nothing to do when once stared but to keep through and trust to luck for coming out safe at the other end.
 One of the worst stretches of rapids was measured roughly with an aneroid as they went through. It was two- thirds of a mile, and as near as the party could make out the drop was eighty-five feet. Lieut. Stanton, who afterward went through with more ac- curate instruments, said that the drop was over 125 feet. Prof. Thompson, in speaking of this part of the trip. said: Tt really was not as bad as it looked. When water is going down

grade like that it is moving some You cannot really run a boat on a rock even if you want to, and the only thing was to hold our breath until we got through"
 The three men who left the party de- cided that they had enough river in theirs and quit in the neighborhood of what is now known as Peach Springs They were given their share of the provisions and undertook to climb out of the canyon. this being one of the three points where it was possible to scale the wall. and they were given also what was thought then to be the duplicate of >the scientific records. There had been>a a record kept in dIrpli- cate on the whole trip, but in the con fusion of parting, it was afterward discovered that these men were given part of both copies of the record, while part of both copies was kept by the boat crew. The three men did man. age to climb out of the, canyon, but were afterward killed by the Utes. who were then on the warpath in the sur rounding country. All of the papers they had with them were burned. and so the record of this first expedition was only fragmentary. The party did keep rough traverse map, but as all the small sheets put together made map less than four feet long covering 1000 miles of unknown territory. it will be seen that the map was not on very large scale

DOWN THE COLORADO
 THROUGH THE CANYON
Stories of Major Powell Recalled by
 Bright Angel Atlas Sheet.

'It is a matter of regret to all the older members of the geological survey that Major John ". Powell, more char acteristically known to the survey peo- pie as the major" is not here to wit ness the completion of the first of a series of new atlas sheets that the sur vey has turned out covering the Grand Canyon of the Colorado" says the Washington Star of July 10. The first of the sheets is known as the Bright Angel sheet, and a lengthy description of it appeared in these columns a few days ago. The Star however relates the story of how Major Powell came to lead the first expedition down the Col orado together with a brief description of it's adventures and the data that was saved as the result of the .perilous trip. This relation will be of interest to Ari- Zona readers and perhaps to many others who are interested in the can yon:
 The honor of the first exploration of the Colorado really belongs to the state of Illinois. Maj. Powell was at that time curator of the state museum of natural history. and there was S25OO appropriated annually by the state, $500 of which went to make up his sal ary and 5000 added for the purpose Of increasing the collection. The major was a good deal of a latitudinarian thought the Colorado needed exploring, he simply took his own salary, added to it the $1 1000 for collection, got a lit tie more from the Chicago academy of sciences and $1OO here and $10O there, making up in all about $3000, with which he plunged into the first grand canyon expedition.
 The Colorado river was then an ab- solutely unknown quantity. This was in 1869. Even at that date the course of the Colorado was marked on the maps with a dotted line where it was supposed to run, and all that was known of it below the point where the Green river enters in Utah was the

TOO MANY LAWYERS IN 1854.

In some old records discovered this week in a Suffolk parish appears the following entry of a statute passed in 1854, the second year of the reign of Queen Mary: That there used to be six or eight attorneys only for Suffolk, Norfolk and Norwich together; that this number has increased to more than eighty, most part of whom, hay ing not sufficient knowledge, came to fairs, etc, melting the people to small trespasses that they may get employ ment; wherefore there shall be here after six for Norfolk, six for Suffolk and two for the city of Norwich. - London Globe

SHELLEY AT EATON.

Among the more celebrated of the names of EtOn in my time I have a slight recollection of Shelley. He was a captain of the Oppidans, I think, in 1S1O-a fair lad, who, I think, boarded at Bethers.
 remember many odd freaks record ed of him. He bought a large brass cannon at an auction in Windsor and harnessed many lower boys to haul it down into college. It was captured. I think. by one of the tutors and kept till the holidays at Hexter's.
 l also remember that Shelley wrote small book in one volume in which he collected together all the horrors he could think of. It was a farrago of what in those days we called pam phlet little thin sixpenny ooks of romance, which the boys in want of reading used to purchase. I quite for get the name of this work of Shelley's, nor have I ever met with it in after life.-Nineteenth Century.

Jury Paid the Fine.

A Texas correspondent tells how an
obstinate juryman was circumvented
by his fellow judges of the facts. The
oifense charged was assault with in
tent to murder. After the jury had
been out about two hours it returned
the following verdict: 1--WE, the jury
find the defendant guilty of aggravat-
ed assault, and assess his punishment
at $25 fine and herewith pay the fine"
On inquiry as to the meaning of the
last clause Of the verdict it came out
that II of the jurors had agreed that
the defendant was not guilty, but the
twelfth doggedly hung out for a con-
viction for aggravated assault and
would not consent to a punishment
less than fine Of s25. Finding it
hopeless task to bring over the OBJ
stinate one to their way of thinking,
the eleven finally decided to agree with
him and "chipped in" enough to pay
the fine.-Law Notes.

Reading Aloud.

Z Reading aloud is something at which
mother and children should take turn
about, doing 1t as "favor" TO each
other Older stories in which the child
lcannot master the difficulties of the
printed page should be chosen by the
mother, and they will take just as
readily to the little book friends known
by the older world as the reading bill
iof fare in which they are fed entirely
sn the little nonentities of their own
books. A girl of ten whose mother
has been reading "Great Expecta-
couldn't get over her delight that the
visitor who came knew Pip and Estella
and acknowledged them as special
friends OF her own. OF course, little
judicious skipping here and there was
INDUCED in, but it was soon found that
vivid imaginations supplied details
even when the words We're inadequate.
It is at this stage of the imagination
when the happy habit of making book
companions as real as those of daily
life can be learned; and while it is
important TO select those which are
Fright and proper" for little folks TO
know. it is still more so to choose those
which are not cOlorless.
The more childish story book of his
own also contains the little acquaint-
ances which the child himself picks
out as favorites, and which he loves
for a short time. The earlier he can
be taught to master the difficulties of
the page enough to read them aloud,
the better, as if it is something he is
s6Stepested in he can be taught to read
1t as simply and naturally as he speaks.
This is harder after he has been to
school or has heard a reading lesson"
for then he will have acquired artifi-
cial intonation and the strained voice
and unnatural pitch which brings his
paternal listeners to confusion and a
state of chills.
A natural and spontaneous way of
reading is one of the prettiest accom-
plishments that can be had, and it can
be taught as easily as spontaneous
speaking if affected ways are not al
lowed TO creep in. One mother whose
little folks went to school We're always
sent home before the reading class.
They did this lesson at home, and were
never allowed a chance to initiate the
class reading of the other children.

Slaves of Matrimony,

One must admit at the outset that
the American husband often puts his
own nose to the grindstone through
blindly misplaced generosity. We have
no marriage settlements, yet the Amer
lean bridegroom's version of with all
my worldly goods thee endow" Is
often Dearest, you may have all my
salary" Here in New York seven in
stances have recently been brought to
my notice in which the husband hands
over to his wife his entire stipulated
income, an average salary of $4,000
year.
In three of these cases the wives al
low their respective husbands enough
for new suit of clothes each year and
for carfare and a twenty-fiye-cent
luncheon each day. Clothing in excess
of one suit per year and any extra
expenses incurred must be paid for by
extra money made. All three meet
these demands by night work; one of
them manages, in addition, TO carry
$4,000 worth of life insurance. In a
SlAlu tdSt tut luSUillNl must lOI why
"find" all his clothes, his carfare and
iuncheons. but the wherewithal to pay
various and sundry bills that exceed
his wife's allowance" In no one of
these cases does the wife save penny
for any emergency whatsoever. In
two families there is a child each to be
provided for; in four the wife alone is
considered.
Now, in a seventh case the wife.
after providing for herself, two chill
dren and her household, places to her
husbands bank account enough to pay
for all his clothing, carfare, luncheons,
club dues and payment on $4,000 life
Insurance. Man number seven also
works at night when he feels disposed
AS "by-products" he has published two
successful books, the proceeds from
which are never touched. That sum,
the wife viii proudly tell you, is in
vested for "a home of our own by and
by and for a college education for the
children"
This last case, you may say, is not a
grindstone case. 1t is cited here to
show that the abuse of generosity in
the other cases is not unavoidable.
When six women tell you with tears,
81 can't live on my allowance" not
knowing the amount of the allowance
and conscious only Of the tears, you
are very apt to jump to the conclusion
that there are six stingy. brutal hus-
bands cumbering the earth. If the
seventh woman did not step in to tell
how gladly and proudly she has
