BILE downward, now stuck out on both
sides in tusks like those of walrus, and
there on a ledge 500 feet above the plain
the missionaries had their laugh out.
When they had recovered little the
men explored the shelf. To the south it
came to an abrupt end, to the north it
widened. Crawling carefully on hands
and knees they reached place where the
cliff above was less steep in its descent.
Unfortunately just there the ledge, COW
cred with snow, sloped more sharply to-
ward the precipice.
1T doesn't look right Better let me
try FIRST advised Mr.. Franz.
As he spoke he stepped forward, only
to fall suddenly on his face and slide
toward the edge. With him the whole
ledge seemed to be sliding. Selling his
friends feet, Mr.. Kent pulled him back
just in time.

comment. 81 don't mind steep path,

A moment the missionaries hesitated,

they were meant sure death As they
paused, Mr.. Kent pointed to faint
track on the snow.

they crossed the treacherous place which,
though only few feet wide, seemed to
them miles Once beyond, however, the
wall of rock became lower, so that at
last they were able to climb up to the
trail and follow that to the foot of the
mountain.
For three hours they stumbled on
through the binding snow.
"Can it be that we have gone by and
are out on the harbor ice?" asked Mr..
Kent.
But we must be on shore still" re-
sponded his wife. 'for that's the second
time I've stumbled against those long,
black rocks"
''What rocks ?"
Falling on his knees before the objects
pointed out, Mr.. Franz scraped away the
snow.
A moment later he rose with a sheep
ish but joyful expression.
They're the village boats" he said.
We're not fifty feet from the station"

CHRISTMAS ASHES.

Yuletide logs are burning low.
Twelfth-night soon his face will show.
And those sober days come in,
When the years work we begin
But the ashes-saYe them all
On your hearthstone as they fall;
Christmas ashes have a charm
That can fend away much harm.
Housewives, take the precious drift
And among your linens sift,
Mid your wool and silken cloths,
So to keep them free from moths
Cast the ashes white and soft
Round the byre and through the croft
Then the younglings of the year
Fleece or feathers-need not fear.
If so be that We fall i'll
Gar to call on leechs skilD
Put a pinch Of ashes fine
In your evening ale or wine.
Holy is the yuletide fame;
And the ashes just the same;
Love the Christmas fires did light
Love is in their ashes white!
Thus, the whole round year we may
Treasure blessings from this day:
To our hearts catch up the glow
When the yulelog burneth low.

Chief Hollyday of the Navy Department
bureau of yards and docks makes the
somewhat alarming statement that ''at
the present writing the government does
not own a single drydock of sufficient ca
pacity to dock the largest battleships re-
Gently contracted for. This is what sail
ors might call "a pretty kettle of fish"
The new drydocks in Hawaii and on Pu-
get sound will be capable of accommo-
dating the largest naval vessel contract
ed for, or the largest that will ever be
constructed--for there must be limit
to the size of fighting ships set by con-
siderations of hardness in maneuvering
but these drydocks are not yet COM
pleted. 1t is said that the new drydock
at New York will be able to take in any
ship of the United States that is now
ailoat or under design, but it would
probably fall short of the needs of some
of the latest foreign fighting ships in
point of length. The docks at Norfolk
and Charleston are wide enough at pres
ent, and can be made ample in length
by the expenditure of a small amount
of money. There should be no doubt as
to the action of Congress following the
warning by Chief Hollyday.

The populations to which Miss Sarah
b. Maclay, of the national organization
of Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, has confessed have been going
on for years. Their amount is not known
and is variously estimated at from $1,000
to $4,000 As curator, which office she
held for fourteen years, she was entrust-
ed with the opening of the mail, and
when she suspected the presence of cash
in an envelope she opened it and pock-
eted the money. Fortunately for her the
officers of the d. A. r. have decided not
to prosecute, or she would have been
placed in prison for her serious offence
especially disgraceful in the case of a
member of an organization formed to
preserve honorable patriotic traditions
The postal authorities were not called
upon TO take cognizance of her thefts, be-
cause they we're committed after the let
tiers had passed into her custody as the
person authorized to receive them for
the d. A. R.--that is to say after they
had been delivered to the addressee. But
for this. i'll spite of her previous good
standing and historic heredity, Miss Ma
caly probably would have found it inn
possible to keep out of Jail.

In the operation with stovaine which
failed at Philadelphia, the injection was
made high in the spinal column, as the
cutting was to be performed in the upper
region of the body. The effect of the
anaesthetic faded away before the sur
geons had finished their work, and DIR.
Jonnesco himself advised the administra
ton of ether to enable its completion.
There is no certainty that this can be
set down as a demonstration of the fail
ure of stovaine. In the first place the
brilliant success of other operations with
stovaine is not to be ignored. In the
second place there may have been reason
for the remark of DR.. Jonnesco as he left
the hospital at Philadelphia that the OPP
Grating surgeon was slow, and that if
he had been swifter in his work he might
have completed it before the effect of the
anaesthetic mixture had subsidized.

Prominent Irish Americans look upon
the political situation in Great Britain
as promising great gains for Ireland.
King Edward is regarded as favorable
to an enlightened policy in Ireland, and
should the English Liberal party win Il
decisive victory in the approaching cleo
ton he would be ready to create any
number of additions to the peerage neces-
sary to carry Liberal legislation in the
upper house. Rather than witness such
an increase of the peerage, it is believed,
the House of Lords would vote for an

James j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, is extremely quoted. ;"
Some of the things he says are not new,
but everything he says is practical-or
at least represents a practical purpose
clearly fixed in his mind. At the Ma
tional Corn Exposition at Omaha yester-
day he said to the director of the cook
ing school:
For want of good cooking. more homes
are broken up and more divorces result
than from any other cause. We cant have
too much instruction of this kind.
1t was a very pertinent observation
even if it had been made before. Every
wife and every girl who expects to be
come a wife should know how to cook.
