tions for the expedition just ended,
account for the greater credit accord
ed the announcement Of Peary's sue
cess.
1.-The doubts with regard to DR..
Cook" he continued, "arise from the
vagueness of his first statements, the
misunderstanding regarding the pol
ar temperature, the position of the
newly discovered land and his appar-
ent lack of preparation for the ex-
pedition. In judging the two explor-
ers, the fact that geographical and
astronomical observations have been
taken from floating ice, the position
of which alters daily, increases the
difficulty. Their observations remain,
however, and IL both have reached the
pole. much divergence is impossible,
but final Judgment cannot be handed
down until we have exhaustively COM
pared the diari,- and reports and the
results attends both travellers"

hope, he lost his head, and thought he
would go insane. Monday morning
through the dead silence of the bush

And perfection is attained not by re-

Actor Was Only Aetna.

Stephen Phillips, the dramatist and
poet whose financial misfortunes are
so widely regretted began life as a
member Of F. r. Benson's repertoire
company. Mr.. Benson had told him
that the great thing for an actor is to
act. 1T does not matter he contin-
ued, 80 much what the words are
which the actor speaks as the i'm
preston which he conveys to the au-
dience by those words" Then he gave
Mr.. Phillips the part of Balthazar in
Romeo and Juliet" On the first
night BalthaZar managed the first line
of his part, and then forgot the rest
Romeo, in the person of Mr. Benson,
had to go to his assistance and speak
the rest of the part for him, while
Balthazar exhibited an agony of
speechless grief.
What do you mean Mr. Benson
afterwards demanded by going on
the stage without knowing your
part?"
Il was only doing what you told me-
You said the great thing on the stage
was not so much the words you speak
as to act Well, / was acting"

THANKSGIVING.

Through the night we watched MS
breathing,
As our little darling slept;
While down by his cradle kneeling
The prayers of our grief we wept
Not a word was said in the stiffness
The silence spoke sadder than speech ;
For the language of sorrow and illness
Is a tongue only tears can teach.
We knew in His care God held him
That the life which He gave He
could take;
That those chains which our love hal
been welding
The Master could loosen and break.
But fond hearts chung to hope, unde-
spairing,
That the ALLOWING Father would spare
him,
We asked for the Savior's sake
And a great joy came with the morning,
AS the promise of life broke sweet;
Death s angel passed by in the dawning,
Forgetting our babe asleep!
Oh, mute halieluiahs of feeling,
Dumb, thankful TIE Deums we wecpi
Bv our little one g cradle while kneeling
God left him here for US to keep,
