somebody croaked, Dear mel What
shall we do with our glrls?" Miss So
phonisba p. Breckenridge, assistant
dean of women at the University Of
Chicago, contends that girls who are
tired of trying to earn their own liv-
ing should not look upon matrjmony
as path OF ease. Women of the
leisure class" she said to the South
End Woman's Club, of Chicago, ARE
setting a terrible example for the
girls of the working class, because
they foster the idea that work is of
itself an evil thing, and they are re-
sponsible also for the harmful notion
which prevails among the working
girls that after marriage a life OF
idleness may be led" The speaker
added that to eradicate this idea the
working girl should be trained to re-
alize that after marriage her duties
and responsibilities were even greater
than before.-New York Press.

It is easily possible that Alaska

Alaska Mission Notes.
Alaska is as large as all the United
States east of the Mississippi and
north of Georgia and the Carollnas
It's coast line is just equal to the cir
cumference of the globe. 1t is enor-
mously rich in minerals, lumber,
fishes and furs
The region was bought by the I'm
tied States from Russia, through Hon.
William VI. Seward secretary OF
state, on March 80 1867, for $780,
600. 1t was called Stewards Folly"
The country was first reached by
missionaries Of the Russian-Greek
church, which still has a hold among
the natives. They came in 1898.
The first Protestant mission was
not established till 1877, when DR..
Sheldon Jackson. planted the first
Presbyterian mission at Fort Wrang-
lie.
The first missionary was the heroic
woman, Mrs. A. r. Mcfarland, who
for seven months after DR.. Jackson
returned was the only white teacher
in Alaska. She had no books or
school house, and was surrounded by
ignorant, superstitious. and unciviliz-
ed Indians.

The City for christ-(Matt. 2t. 10;

There are three things to be said
concerning the modern American
city. The first is. that it has very
largely forgotten God. And there
are many reasons for this forgetful.

the hold of religion on the individual.
The city dweller is SO often urged
on by the hurry and strain of bus.
mess that he Is Ia a conditiun of per.
petual exhaustion. The physical and
mental strain of city life is intense.
Men think that have not time to
think of God, although If they only
knew 1t, such thought would relieve
the strain and ease the burden. The
city is full of allurements to pleasure
whose invitations are more enticing
and less easily resisted than in the
country. Many a young man lowers
his standard concerning pleasure
seeking when he comes to town. The
city Is a place in which II is easy to
forget people, and when you forget
people you cannot we'll remember

is a place that does not know God.
The second thing to be said is that
every Christian who has anything to
do with the city must feel himself
bound to remind it of God. His bus

which do not know him. Every city

Rival in Love Serious Problem.

Few problems in youns girls life
are more serious to deal with than
what to do when another girl is try
ing to gain the affections of the man
to whom she is engaged Older peo-
pie may prod her with philosophical
advice, and tell her that she will have
many equally hard problems to con-
front her before life is over, but their
talk rarely helps her. She confronts
a serious situation. which will make
a great test of her character, says the
Delineator.
For a fight II is. Some men and
women who know what is going on
may think II a light affair and not
worth fight, but these people are
cynics. Some few there are who are
enabled to escape it in their love at
fairs as in their married life, but
these are the rare and the happy ex-
ceptions.
IL you are quiet about the affair,
trust the man all you can, and tase II
for granted that he loves you until
you are thoroughly convinced that he
doesn't, the chances are that the
other girl will lose him and that he
win return to you whole-hearted.

worked a great change in this respect

history in this country. Thirty OF

himself to drink it. But to-day many

A great many of these pods are
