VIEW FROM AN ALASKAN PEAE

Almost at the end of a mountain climb of eight thousand feet, John Muir and hs companion, s. Hall Young the author of Alaska Days with John Muir," paused
 "ou g little shelf a foot or two wide" 70 look around them, stand ing out on tue rounded neck of the cliff," MT. Young says, and facing the southwest, we could see on ! three sides of Us. The view was much the finest of all my experience. We seemed to stand on high ros- trum iu the center of the greatest amphirheater iD the world. The sky was clOudless, the level sun flooding all the landscape with golden light. From the base of the mountain on which we stood stretched the rOllinF upland. Strik- ing boldly across our front was the deep valley of the stickeen, a line Of foliage, light green CottonWoods and darker alders, spriRkled with fiji and spruce through which the river river gleamed with a silVery sheen, now spreading wide among it's Is- lands, now foaming white through narrow canyons. Beyond, among the uBdulating hills, Was mar YelCus array Of lakes. There must have been thirty or forty of them, from the pond Of Gn acre to the wide sheet two or three miles across. The strangely elongated and rounded hills, had the aD- pearance of giants in bel, wrapped in many coIored blankets, while the lakes were their deep blue eyes, dashed with dark evergreens, gaz- ing steadfastly heavenward.
 The whole landscape Was alert, expectant of glory. Around this great camp prOstrate Cyclops, there stood an unbroken semicir- Gle of mighty peaks in solemn grandeus, some hoary headed, some with locks of brown. - And the colors. Great stretches of crim- son fire weed, acres and acres of them, smaller patches Of dark blue luI ins, and hills of shaded yellow, red and brown, the many-shaded green of the woods, the amethyst and purple of the far horizOn-who can tell 1t? We did not stand there more than two or three min utes, but the whole wonderful scene is deeply etched on the tablet of my memory, a phOtOgravure never to be effaced." - ChriBtian Science Monitor.

DANGERS OF A
 COLD
You WEI Do Well to Heed Them

Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Con gested kidneys fall behind in filter ing the poison-ladeD blood, and backache, headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of kilney trouble. Here is an experi- ence told by one who has used them.
 H. W. Bostian, farmer, R. F. D. No. 9, Box 168, Olympia, Wash, says: q strained my back several years ago and it has been weak ever since. Colds always settle in my kidneys, making the trouble worse. The kidney gecretions are irregular jn passage at times, oblig- ing me to get up at night. Deans Kidney Pills give me great relief Whenever I have the slightest sign of kidney trouble, take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon fix me up all right"

haps 1t was necessary that the people
of each nation thus should be welded
together in the forge and by the heat
of passion, on the anvil of awful wrath
before Mazzinis dream of the "asso-
citation of the peoples could be real
lied in Europe democracy.
Revival of Religion.
The religion of Europe, and of all
other lands sharing its common faith,
can hope for survival only in revival
Back to the more primitive religious
simplicity and sincerity in making
Christianity the rule of practice as
well as of faith, must we all go, to lay
over again the foundations of belief
and conduct, of confidence and hope
for this world and any other.
This salvage from the wreck of the
old Europe, is the only hope of saliva
ton for the Europe that is to be.
America has enough of a share in
the wreck to seek a salvage of her
own. We have suffered the loss of
our own ideals. Out of the niseries
of the wrecked world we have grown
suddenly rich in untold present pos
sessions and still more incalculable
credits. We are thus challenging
competition for the markets of the
world after the war that will be fercer
and more relentless than American
capital and labor have ever expert
enced.
There is wreckage enough of our
former ideals, hopes and precedents
already strewn around our present
prosperity, and still more that may
come with adversely, to urge upon US
too a care for salvage. What can we
save of our former loyalty to interna-
tional peace and arbitration, of our
claims and concessions to human
rights and liberties, of our belief in
human brotherhood and democracy,
of our pledge to give the individual
his right and independence in the pur-
suit of happiness?
What can we save to the common
welfare from the new wealth of our
mushroom growth of millionaires du-
the conservation of our national re-
sources from wastefu1 preparedness
for defensive warfare? What is to
become of our advancing social Iegis-
laton, never more Indispensable to
national security, yet never more in
danger of being thwarted and ignored
than now, under the stress of a
strangely new emphasis upon the in
stinct of preservation Will we
save our hopefully more Intelligent
immigration policies from a fooIishly
short-Sighted reaction against the ''hy-
phen"?
viii we save the social and civic
agencies, both official and volunteer,
in which we have invested so much
financial and personal resource, from
being sacrificed to false public econ
ony, or to misery greed of gain :?
VIII we substitute the military train
ing Of our youth for any of their all
to scant preparation for the arts and
industries of peace? Will our relig-
ion, too, become merely national, with
a tribal god and covenants of promise
all and only our own?
America will find her wreckage or
| salvage eddying about these interroga-
ton points. Which shall it be? This
new year 1916 must give answer.

The convention will continue three

today, President Stanliffe Hale, of
Glastonbury, briefly reviewed the work
of the year.
Secretary H. c. c. Miles of Milford
reported a membership of 9O9 and re-
ceipts of $1,101.25.
Other reports were from the COM
mittees on membership, legislation,
exhibits, markets and transportation,
publicity and new fruits and vegeta-
bles.
Reports from the state entomo1o-
gist, DR. Britton. and the state botan-
list, DR.. Clinton, were made at the
afternoon session.
DR.. w. e. Britton, in his report or
injurious insects, said tent catterpil-
lars were even more abundant in 1915
than in previous seasons. There
were altogether too many neglected
wild apple and wild cherry trees in the

Rome, Feb with American
coat scarce because of the ship short
age and selling here from $25 to $40 a
ton. according to quality, the solution
of the problem of securing coal in
quantity and at reasonable prices has
become one of the most pressing pub
tic and domestic questions in Italy.
While the situation will finally re-
suit Ia governmental measures for q

action various temporary measures ars

nice and force their citizens to go to
bed early.
There is no doubt that the two gas
companies of Rome would approve
such a war measure One of the Gu
rious results of high coal prices is that
in Rome the losers are the gas com
panies, not the consumers
1t is estimated that the gas COM
panies have already lost 5000 600 lires
as result of their contracts with the
city, made in peace times, to furnish
gas at 16 confines the metric cube,
whereas it is costing them 81 CEN
times to furnish it.
From the point of view of the poor
people, Rome is thus the most FORUM
ate of European capitals London,
Paris Venice may turn off their lights
as a precaution against aeroplane at
tack, but in Rome, where no such
fear is entertained by the military au-
thorities, the streets are as brilliantly
lighted as ever they were at the height
of the tourist season and the Romans
continue to find happiness and warmth
in late street promenades and coffee
drinking on the sidewalk cafes
While coal may soar to famine pri-
ces, the cost of-gass which is made of
coal, cannot increase, under the city
contract, so the people, rich and poor
alike, are installing gas heaters as fast
as possible.
