NEW FIELDS TO CONQUER.
Some of Greatest Snow Mountains
 Are in the United States.

The fact is not generally known that some of the most imposing snow mountains in the world lie within the limits of the United States, says William Williams in Scribner's Mag azine. refer to the great peaks of Alaska, at least one of which, Mt Mckinley, is over 10000 feet high, while Mt St Elias is over 1S,O00 feet and, being situated within twenty five miles of the coast. can be seen in It's entire height from the deck of a vessel.
 Other magnificent peaks. as Mt Fairweather and Mt Crillon, lie very close to the shore, and since the line of perpetual snow in these northerly attitudes Is at 5000 feet or even less tin the case of Mt St Elias it is vir- tually at the waters edge, for the base of the mountain is surrounded by vast glaciers which flow down to the seal, continuous snow and ice surfaces may there be seen rising from 15.000 to 1S,0OO feet above the spectator. I think am not mistaken in saying that few if any. such sights can be witnessed in any other part of the world.
 Mountaineering expeditions to these Alaskan peaks are very inter- esting. but at the same time very la borious.

THE SECRET.

Tn the early morning the earth Is ahush. seeming to wait expectantly. The sky in the east grows momently brighter: suddenly it blossoms into the full rose of sunrise. The birds utter joyous cries. the dewy hedges sparkle. the mountain wears a crown: Nature smiles like a child that wakes and looks into its motber's eyes. The young married pair in the neighboring cottage bring their little girl out in the yard that she may see how many buds have opened on the rose bush through the night. They lead her to a corner of the yard where behind a clump of liIacs a hen has been sitting. During the night the eggs have matched. The father gently lifts the mildly pro- tectiug hiddy and discloses the white and yellow chicks under her flufy breast. The child kneels down and in an ecstasy of awe and delight re- Eards the wonder. She remembers when cold. white eggs were put un- der the hen. and now these have turned into warm living things that one may love and cherish. How did it come about

THE CATHOLIC CENTENARIEs,

The Roman Catholic church in this land can point to something more than numerical increase. s.rik- ing as that is in the history of relig- lous organization. There has been. besides a working out of spiritual tendencies and religious convictions. ina unique environment, with unique results. The successes of Roman Catholics may be justly Inscribed to their adherence to primary prin- ciples the immediate duties of the present. The work of their church in America is with the great mass of the people. The response to this policy is written in the history of these hundred years. On the basis of a democratic religious appeal. penetrating and assimilation the masses of people of most origin and traditions. there has been built up a church administration which has visible and benefcent results throughout American life. In this experience there is more than a hopeful outlook for Roman Catholics themselves. Painstaking, consecrat- ed pastoral work always brings it's reward. What Roman Catholics have accomplished for the vast mass of humanity has been done in the face of problems SO difficult and complicated that, as a rule. other christians communions have passed by them-From the Churehman.

THE VISIBLE SOUL.
Unkind Remarks on 'an Alleged Dis
 cOyery.

Some valuable discoveries con- corning the soul of man have lately been published by doctress of Chicago, who has been employed as a lecturer at two medical colleges and must therefore be telling the truth. It appears that now and then she had the misfortune to lose patient, but upon at least two Of these occasions her chagrin was somewhat mitigated because she happened to be present and had an exceptional opportunity to observe the egress of the spiritual substance at the moment of death.
 According to her account the inn mortal part of us is in shape some- thing like the grosser body. with which we are all familiar. It is, however much fiimsier and appears to be very light, for when thN body dies the soul rises slowly and floats up toward the ceiling. Of the two souls she had the happiness to see and study one was an infants and the other that of man about 65 years old. The later was the bigger of the two, but did not otherwise differ in any material particular Both were blue and looked quite smoky-something like cigar smoke, she says-and both passed through the wall just as your cigar smoke passes through lace curtain, only they left no smell. What became or them after they escaped from the room no one knows.
 The observations of the Chicago physician are confirmed in some measure by the recent investigations of Dr Baraduc of Paris. Dr Bara- duo has done better, however, for he has taken several snapshots which have convinced him that every human being carries about with him an "impalpable double' which re- sembles him exactly and often con tinues to roam about the earth after the body is dead. This circum- stance accounts for ghosts and phan- tasms. Dr Baraduc says nothing about the blueness of the impalpa- ble double, but his eyes seem to be grosser than those of our Chicago physician and he had to depend on his camera. One of his ghosts was merely a "nebulous globe,' but he is quite sure it was ghost, be- cause it made its exit Hike a soul. Another thing he is pretty sure or is that these ethereal doubles are short-lived. rarely surviving the body more than so hours. He de- sires to learn more about their hab- its, but it is difficult at present be- cause men of science are so stub born. His hope is that the men of science will join with the "spiritist savants,'' for, he explains, man does not belong to this planet only, but to the starry spaces in which his thoughts revolve." Science must, therefore. look to the spiritist for help, for the spiritist is the only sort of savant whose mind whirls at ease in the clouds.-New York Evening Sun.

LIMITING PRODUCTION.

The heartless policy of raising prices by artificial scarcity is forum ately impossible where there are even thousands of competitors and much more so where there are millions. The attempt to make cot ton planters and wheat growers be- Iieve that it can be done is the doctrine of knavery or fOOlishness. and perhaps of both The very possibility that there will be the sembIanee of such a restriction is sure to set people to planting more acreage on the sly to take advantage of the expected enhancement Of prices. Even in so liVited a field as the dark tobacco production of Kentucky it was shown that the re- strfction could not be enforced by anything short of arson and terror ism. That is what makes the limita- tion of production and arbitrary ad- vance of prices by the successful trusts so unjust. If all could mark up their prices equally the only ef- feet would be to rednce the purchas- ing power of the dollar. But when a few favored industrial or conner eiaI organizations have that power it amounts to establishing a special privilegs of wealth at the cost of all whose prices are hxed under free eompetftfou.-Pittshurg Dispatch

REFORMING THE ONION.

The mania for reform is reaching such pitch in this country that it would not surprise us to learn that the legislatures were passing laws to compel missiles to produce figs For, not content with legislating away from man many of the pleasant vices with which he loves to scourge him. self into a profitable contrition, such as whiskey drinking, the reforms are now attacking nature herself. The onion is to be reformed. Some ambi- tious disciple of Luther Burbank, so We are told, is at work onsthe inven- tion of scentless orlion But will an onion taste as sweet by any other smell? In reality 1t is not re- form which the onion needs, but recognition. It has never received its just dues in the way of praise though such weakling plants as the lily and the rose have been sung for centuries.
 Many so-called reforms arise from an unreasoning prejudice rather than from the considered and con- trolled desire to benefit the hu- man race, which they pretend as their origin, and this one in particular springs from ah empty af- fectation scarce worthy to be ranked as a prejudice. We are convinced that the onion has done more for humanity in a liberal way than any other edible, unless. indeed, we excepts the divine mama, which kept the Hebrews alive during their wanderings and thus pre- served the Decalogue. Nothing hap pens by accident and it can have been nothing else than the wisely gen. erous use of onions and garlic, per sisted in for centuries by all her peo- pie. which raised Italy to pre-emi- hence in an artistic way, just as saga cious devotion to beer and limberger cheese created German philosophy D'Annunzio is an onion that has spoiled little, and Nietzsche was merely a man who had dreams be- cause of too much cheese. Esthetes who can't stand the smell of onions. of the whiff of actuality. are the most pltiable creatures!-those who would eliminate that pungently deli- cious aroma from the world are nak- ing unconscious confession of a sort of rose-water incompetence to deal with the strong and highly-seasoned facts of life.-Dan Marquis fin Uncle Remuss's-The Home Magazine for May. s-.-

RESIDENCES FOR AMBASSADORS

Senator Lodge has repeated in a bill the proposal which he made In an amendment to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill that s400.000 be expended in buying a residence in Paris for the American ambassador. The amendment was ruled out on a point of order and the debate on it showed that the i'm mediate occasion for asking for this sum was that it would pay for the house Ambassador White is now oc- eupying and on which he has expend- ed s3O.00O for repairs.
 Much can be said for the general policy of providing suitable resi- -dences for our ambassadors. It is the international custom. It gives permanence and dignity to American representation abroad. Five powers own the residences in which their representative live at Washington. It is neither seemingly nor practical for a first class power to be without an oficial residence In the capitals of Europe. when every other nation of equal rank has one.
 But this change in American pol icy. when it Is made, should not be gin with an appropriation for a single building which some partie- uIar ambassador would Ike to see bought The question of policy should be decided upon by a measure uhich proposes the purchase of res idences and provides an sppropris- ton to begin the work jf obtaining a permanent home Ia each great European capital for the task of carrying Out this new policy to the state department - Philadelphia Press

REscuING A ROUGH RIDER.
An Brand of Mercy Which Guy Murchie Performed for President.

1 In the records of the senate appears i this:
 Appointment confirmed-G Mur-
 chic to be United States marshal for 1 the district of Massachusetts" 1 This is simple little announce 1 ment in itself, but it means something. | Guy Murchie was sergeant of the
 Rough Riders. Harvard man, who
 enlisted from the old, Bay state in
 Roosevelt's regiment There have been
 scores of rough riders appointed to
 of them to be given preference is l Sergeant Guy Murchie, who went up the hill under fire with Lieutenant i Colonel Roosevelt. 1 The newly appointed rough rider i marshal of the Massachusetts district ] has looked after the interests of those i of his comrades who have wandered east from the plains and who haze , become lost, and frequently .broke,'
 in the whirl of the Boston city life. ! Once Murchie received letter from the president telling him that one of ] "his bOys' from Arizona was in Bos- 1 ton and if what he had heard was true the wanderer from the southwest needed looking after. Murchie was | asked to corral the Arizonian, to fix him up and send him back to Gods
 country and to send the. bill to Theo- dore Roosevelt, White House, Wash i ington.
 The Bostonian went on still hunt
 and finally rounded up the Arizonial.
 He knew him well, but he had not seen him since the strenuous days. | The lawyer robed his captive, cleaned him up, strengthened him out fed him
 and gave him plenty of money to get
 back to the ranch.
 The next afternoon while the law
 yer was in his private office with
 client the door burst open and the
 Arizonian, very much liquored up and
 very proud, tumbled in. He was ar
 rayed in a frock coat, white vest,
 lavender trousers, patent feathers, a | puff tie, and plug hat, all of which presumably, a part of the salary of the president of the United States had purchased. ~ Sergeant" said the plainsman, q | ain't going back. l am going to stay in Boston and go in the book writing
