T., June 16, 1891,—After Paddy's retura we all thought the rood cinestion was settled, but inside of two or three days it . . Was gone again, and we wereesmung to the Indian packers from our own scant supplies. There wee mueli dead timber passed through the next day (June 10th), but it did notseri- ously interfere with us. The only trouble was the slight one that when • grouse were fluehed in it they eao 411014 i II ire 1- rottP„t„, 4. tram:, ma moms. invariably flew long distances and were eeldorn seoured. A hunter on an exploring trip carrying a dozen necessary odds and •k ends besides his gun fa 'seldom prepared for an immediate wing shot and cannot follow up for flying birds like a sportsman de- voted wholly to the pursuit. The only •fresh signs of large game we saw were those of bears grubbing in the swamps for roots. Just before noon we crossed • the firsb pole ihridge, and, as usual, it was over a moun- tain torrent. The middle of the forenoon .next day (11th) heavy thunder was heard not far away, and at noon a brisk thunder shower with heavy hail sprang up andlasted for two hours. Many of our Indians had never heard thunder before, and suoh a fierce storm must have been a startling initiation. They said the great rumbling noise was caused by the flapping of the wings of a huge dusky bird, and some positively asserted that they had seen it that day. Practically the Pacific co 4st of Alaska is unfrequented by such stn c ins, but the in- terior plateau has its fuli share. These storms always seemed psnlific in dusky grouse and we secured ecveral that day. Russell in shooting one cut off a two-inch • thick -green spruce limb in the way, showing the great concentration and power of the 10 -gauge shotgun. Over 2,500 miles in the field,exploring,hunting, scouting and march- ing haa shown me that thisra,pid-fireshotgun coupled with a 40-82 Winchester rifle and a Smith and Wesson 44 or 45 calibre revolver practically arms the bearer for all sorts of game and dangers to be met by iirearms as thoroughly as it is possible for mechanism to do so; beyond this is a matter of sports- manship or a contest between woodcraft, prairie lore and general experience and in- telligence. That day's march was a fearful one through wet moose brush and deep swamps. At noon next day, after ascending toward the great divide between the Pacific Ocean and Behring Sea drainage basin, we reached the timber limit, the low, flat pass directly ahead and in full view. Russell had killed thirteen ptarmigan before the suorm and after it cleared up they could be heard cack- ling in all directions, and before dark we • had another half dozen without really hunt- ing them. I called this the "Ptarmigan Pass." From the high hill near by no less than half a hundred lakes could be seen in the great valley beyond, one of which was ,undoubtedly the big lake for which we were striving. Seeing the big lake 80 inspired the Indians that they were up bright and wady next morning and got away with the first peeks before 3 o'clock, hoping to make it that day, I think, but little dreaming of two camps yet in between. The middle of the forenoon there burst on our view the whole valley of this great tributary of the mighty Yakon, the scene ahead being perfectly studded with glisten- ing lakes. The big lake seemed almost un- der our feet, not over three miles away. Some days back I had sprained my ankle I think it was the time I had on my extra slippery shoes—and though it hurt me con- siderably at the time I paid but little atten- tion to it for the next three days. It was • now paying me considerable attention, how- ever, and growing steadily worse so that by the time the lake was reached I was just about hors du combat in a pedestrian way. It was one of the luckiest unlucky accidents I ever had happen. Despite the dense swarms of mosquitoes that night the Indiaus were up and away with first packs by 3.30; the first lake being reached an hour later. The folding canvas boats now came to the front, so I will briefly describe aldt TEO rrPTCIICIAN them. They are the King boats of Kala- mazoo, Michigan, and in their eonstruotion are quite unique, making them very strong, carrying readily a ton each, and weighing just over 100 pounds apiece. There is a .double jacket, both of which have to be ripped to sink the boat, the outer one very •heavy canvas and the inner one water- proof. I had named them: Andrew Allen Bonner, Robert Edwin Bonner and Frederic Boneer, after the patrons of the expedition; the editors and proprietors of the New York Ledger. .At "First Lake' we put up the Frederic Bonner in forty , 'minutes and there were two movements with each hand at the mosquitoes to every one towards building up the boat. "First Lake" was two end a half miles long ; the first portage about a half a mile over ; " Second Lake" gave as only one-half e nail° ; the second portage one and a half miles while Third Lake " gave two and rt, half miles, a good breeze to sail it with, and a twcepoend pickerel, another of •aboet the same SiZe getting away. Here also we met our last /Arty of otttvvard. , botind far trades, our party resenting , sande needed nibecatins and a little dtied Moose meat from them. They were stirely •wild enough creatures, the groWn ones ex- - • • tremely shy, while the doge OknIlced away growling, and the children an howling from us as soon as the two partiee met. The third portage was two and a half miles across' while Fourth Lake" gave us an hour anda half on its waters, and as this brought us up to 7 o'cleon we woe into camp. Although the packers had carried only at the short portages their ankles were black, bruised and badly swollen and it was evident we wore not reaching the encl of their iourney any too soon. Their foot gear was nothing but a mass of tied up rags and buckskin. I believe that nMe-tenths of their trouble arose from the doubling of packs and that the trail M comparatively easy where one is carried by Indians used to this work. The fourth portage was but a mile and "Fifth Lake"the same dis- tance, while the fifth portage was only a third as far. This over and by the middle of the forenoon we stood overloolsing „Okla - Klein, which translated" The Big Lake" in the Flinkit tongue (Ask -Lake; Klein, or Klane'Big). I had thought the peckers would take a rest for a day or two, or at least for the afternoon of the 161h, but they were so anxious to overtake the last party of Ta,kons we bad passed that they got awag. at 3 in that afternoon. They had performed a Herculean tale indeed and deserved well of the fruits of the undertaking whatever thereafter may show for this. And now on the shores of the great inland lake it may be well to take a retrospect of the trail, now for the first time mapped, and see whether there is anything in it either for the present or the future. The overland trail was 80 miles long and some 45 on the river, or a rough 125 miles altogether. I believe that a powerful light -draught river steamer can ascend to the head of canoe navigation, or at leastto the confluence of the main branches; still, the report of a good • river boatman for all navigable months of the year would be the best information on which to teat this, and would not be hard to ob- tain. From either point a pack -mule trail to Ahlr-klain can be easily made, With pioneering parties of fifMen to twenty men I have seen pack trains taken through equivalent country, keeping up with cavalry commands averaging over twenty •miles a • • esseneee sse - L.4. 43. safes, ' inum rue me 07 MR( day. Such a pioneer party ought to make a very good trail here in two weeks, or a month at least. From the big lake there is uninterrupted river navigation to Behring Sea in the summer months, although it is possible that one point—the Rink Rapids— may give trouble at certain unfavorable stages of the water. It is, therefore, a mere matter of sufficient commercial interests being developed. in the Yukon basin to justify the making and maintaining of such a trail in the spring and summer months. The Alaskan city to be benefited by this is plainly Juneau. But the greatestsbenefit that this route will ever confer is, I think, in a railway ; and not Bowery far in the future either. To the casual observer, limiting the consid- erations to the country directly drained, there is not a great deal to tempt a railroad into Alaska, but as two-thirds of our west- ern States and Territories were developed by railways looking not to what was in them altogether but to some great terminus beyond, so Alaska may hope for one on the same principle. The great Siberian railway, terminating at Vladivostok, is assured and will be built, it is officially as- serted, in twelve years. The nearest perpetually open winter harbor to it in Americo., attainable by a railway, is in the Juneau vicinity, and by a railway down the Takou river. There is abso- lutely no point west of this unless Behring Straight, thirty-six miles across, should be tunneled, a far to formidable under- taking for the advantage to be gained. From Juneau to Vladivostok the sea voyage can be made by an Atlantic "ocean grey- hound "in a week, and at all seasons of the year. The construction of a railway along the Takou through the Alaska coast range would cost less, I believe, than the average road through the Allegheny mountains. The great inland plateau gained the con struction to any point on the Canadian Pacific would be about equvalent to that on our great western plains of which this plateau after all is but a northern extension. The most likely objective point on the Canadian Pacific to strike would be Winnipeg, a busy, solid city, with many direct railroad connections to the very heart of the United States; in fact, this Alaskan road would be a natural branch of the Canadian Pacific that could operate it to better advantage than could be done as an independent line. This branch would be leas obstructed by snow than the main line, which again has less rival diffi- culties than lines farther south, the line of maximum snow • obstruction for North America lying somewhere nearer the central parallel of the United States.

It consists of a typewriter in a bath- house and the voter goes in and touches piano keys inscribed with the names of CAR- didates.

Dr. Campbell, of Collingwood, has accepted the pastorate of the Mitt Preebyterian (March there. OF THE DESWItItECTION, The ItYstery of tire and Death 'Exemplified by a Cora of Wheat. Christ /speaks of Himself when Bie says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth• forth much fruit." Modern science has allowed that the seed consists of two parts, one ef which dies in order to become nour- ishment to the other. The little germ that exists ha every seed swells with the moisture of the ground in svhich it is sown, and the perisperin, or ootyledonawhieli surrounds it, ILS simply a etorehouse of nourishment to enable it to grow, until it has Bent its root downwards and it plumule upwards, to draw its support from the soil and the at. =sphere. The perhaperm must die in order to accomplish this; benefice, until it has been reduced to a soluble and then a liquid tate, it cannot pass into the tissues of the plant. The seed, therefore, does de in one of its parts, though not in the other, and for thatveryreason is an accuraterepresentative of mortal man. His spirit, like the germ, does not die ; but the body, like the peris- perm, does die before the spirit assumes its germinating powers, in order to produce the spiritual body. In the case of our Lord's body, as well as those who are alive and remain at His coming, the mortal body, like the perisperm, supplies the materials out of whioh the spirit has to elaborate its glorious tenement ; but, in the case of all the others, the mere con- venience of having the materials at hand will not be important, and the dust which is scattered to the winds need not be gathered again, because the identity of the future body is not dependent upon it. There is a correspondence between the nature of the seed and the nature of the plant which rises from it, not only in regard to the species, but also in regard to the individual. Not only will the resurrection body be it human body, it will also be our body—not perhaps composed of the same materials, but it will be a true continuation of our own body—the continuity depending on the identity of soul and spirit in both. It is an unimportant question whether or not the glorious body will be built up of the very seam atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and lime which happen to be present in the body of death, and which, were we to live it little longer, would all in turn be set free to perform other duties, and perhaps contribute to the formation of obher bodies. Would it really constitute a greater identity if these same atoms should be brought together again than if others eisetly the same should be used? In the case of millions, we know that their bodies have been reduced to atoms, and if all the atoms of each element be alike, the kind of identity we are striving after is but a dream. It is not the substance, it is the form and structure and their correspond- ence with our souls and spirits that will conatitute the identity of our bodies. If, notwithstanding these considerations, the believer is still disposed to the idea that the materials of the mortal body will be again used up in the construction of the resurrec- tion body, his opinion is certainly entitled to respect, for there is nothing in scripture which forbids such an idea; all that is required of him is that he should be equally tolerant to those who, in the light of science, can read and believe every state- ment of the word of God regarding the resurrection, without seeing any necessity for attaching to the doctrine an interpreta- tion which appears to them to be not only very improbable, but also very unimport- ant. —Rev.

Ex -Mayor Robert Bowie, Brockville, Ont., says : "1 used Nasal Balm for a bad case of catarrh, and it cured me, after having ineffectually tried many other remedies.

'Why He Prefers the Lodge. In a recent address to the students of the Union Theological Seminary, the Rev, Charles Thompson, of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, of New York, used the following remarkable language: "This is an age of common sense. A man of the present time says to himself I belong to a lodge. When I get sick the members come to see me. If f need it, nurses are supplied. If I die, my wife is cared for. Take the church. It is dark all the week. There is some fine preaching. ancl elegant singing on Sundays, but what re that to the treatment I get from the lodge? The Church does not come into my home. The lodge does. It is more Christian, after all. I'll stick to the lodge.' The feeling that stirs such a man is widespread right here in New York. I know it is general among the middle classes. It is not wild. It is not socialistic. It is reasonable and truly religion s." Mis Aueer Sensations. People who go to apothecaries to have their diseases prescribed for occasionally get very strange diseases.

" What are your symptoms 7" the apothecary asked. "Every little while something seems to rise up, and then settle back again, and by-and-by it rises up again." The apothecary put his chin in the palm of his hand and meditated awhile. "Look here," he said, gravely, "you haven't gone and swallowed an elevator, have you ?"

These have a keen perception of the artistic, could pose as models and have in them the elements of old maids and woman's rights. The second are those who go into conniptions over a iat baby. They can write charming pootry and make de- lightful wives. The laid are those who revel in something good to eat. They make splendid housewives and never fail to reach the heart of the man through his stomach.
