A|MLEsS LIVES.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
How many of us have sufficient
direction to. our livesq Outside
OF the fundamental necessities Of
support and education for oul
children it would be difficult fol
the majority to give scheme
OF existence planned to bring the
fullest value to life in it's chang.
ing phases. On the intellectual
and spiritual side the existence
Of most is not unlike that de-
picted in the pleasing ditty:
"A mother was chasing her
boy round the room !; she was
chasing her boy round the room !:
and while she was chasing her
boy round the room she was chas
ing her boy round the room,"
The direction in early child
hood as far as it is not taken
care Of by natural tendencies is
in the hands OF parents and teach
ers often conducted as in the
above quoted masterpiece. In
youth we often have an ideal
but by middle age it has too fre-
quently been replaced by mere
ambition. In age how many of
us are fit to enjoy the possibilities
of contemplation as thus sug-
gested in Maccsbees;
The ancient men sat in the
streets, They all communed to-
Egether OF good things.
Life Odght to be like q great
drama, reaching its height at
the end OF the third act but re-
quiring the last two acts to clari
fy its meaning, round out its
story and complete its unity.

THE man BEHIND The
PL0W.

They sing about the glories yof the
man behind the gun,
And the books are full OF stories oi
the wonders he has done:
There's something sort o. thrillin in
the flag that's wavin high,
And it makes you want to holler
when the boys go marchin by:
Bnt when the shoutin's over and
the fightin's done, somehow
We find we're still dependin' on the
man behind the plow.
In all the pomp and splendor Of an
army on parade,
And through the awful darkness that
the smoke Of battles made;
In the halls where jewels glittler and
shouting men debate;
In places where the rulers deal ont
their hOn0rs great,
There is not . single person who'd
be doin business now,
Or havd medals, II 1t wasn't for the
man behind the plow.
We're buildin' mighty cities and
we're gainin' lofty nights;
We're winin' lots of glory and we're
settin' things to rights:
We're a-showin' all creation how
the worlds affairs should run;
Future men'll gaze in wonder at the
things we have done.
And they'll overlook the feller, just
the same as they do now,
Who's the whole concerns founda-
tion that's the man behind the
plow.

government for a number of years.
recently returned from a cruise of
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago, during which he
placed many new islands, bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he has charted over
100000 square miles of islands in the
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish a
force Of the mounted police in Hudson
bay and to take possession of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region of
141 degrees west Of 60 degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far as
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to journey
to the North pole, an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op-
