Perhaps you have never yet realized the necessity for such at- tenda ““Are you aware thot you have an inmortal soul which must be fed with the meat that cometh down from heaven, or it will surely dief Are you content to starve your soul in the midst of plentyl What will it profit you if you pain the whole world, ., and loss your own _soul!” In the nama of God 1 offer you increased opportunities for soul nurture.” I implore you in Christ's name to try the experiment viuring this Lenten sea- season, of a faithful attendance on the s vices of God's nouse. These services will be held during every week in Lent, and on Sundays. You will be cordially welcomed 10 each and all, and may God dispose you to make a proper use of them. Confirmation will be administored the last Sunday in Lent—Passion Sunday, March 30th. Wil you still hesitate, and refuse to come out on the Lord’s side, or will you re- solve that ere this Lent shall pass’ away, you will claim your right to be known God's child and a member of Christ's dear family on earth, May God dispose you to act fearlessly, Your friend and rector, J.

THE OMAHA DAI1 A DAY 0N COLUMBIA RiVER Beautiful Sconery Around the Dalles and the Cascades. MOUNT HOOD IN ALL ITS GLORY. The Magnificent Penk Which Towers Three Miles Above the Surroud- ing Country—Hundreds of Tiny ©Oascades—Nature's Pictures, ~ On the Columbia, PorTLAND, Ore,, Feb, 17.—[Special to Tns Bee, |—I shall devote the present letter to the picturesque aspects of the Columbia river, from Ninetettah, where the railroad strikes the stream, to the mouth of the Wils lamette, some 150 miles. When first seen the Columbia is a clear stream running over a gravelly bed between earthen banks, the ground above sandy and covered with sage-brush. A dull, leaden sky overhangs the scene; the snow hus disap- peared, and only the large massea of ico in the river suggest the season. The appear- ance of the stream 1s muddy, like that of the Ohio below Pittsburg. Further down, the banks grow higher, and the rock begins to outerop above the track. At Arlington the river broadens out, the hills rise two or three hundred feet, and the bed of the stream is filled with rocky mosces and broken stone. Bunches of black rock riso here and there above the surface of the water. The aspect of the scene is sulliciently forbidding to satisfy the most romantic. The fog fills tho crevices of the hills, and overhangs the stream. ‘The big, black stones along the river bed look through tho mist like huge animals roposing ou the river bottom. Rocky masses staud between the railroad and the river, aus though piled up by human hands, so regular ure they, and tho spaces between are cov- ored with a thick sward of greencst moss, while here and there o fow evergreens re- mind one that all is not desolation and death. At one spot a rocky island fifteen feet in neight extends for some distance in the river, as regular as though the hand of man had fashioned it, while above at the foot of the heighth a solid wall is seen level enough to bo used for a railroad bed. Here and thero & tiny frozen wator fall hangs suspended from the height above, held 1n the white arms of the frost king. At the Dalles, we take a_boat to run down some twenty miles to the cascades. The scenery grows moroe impressive. All around are seen the snow-capped heights, covered with firs, The rocks ulong the river are frequently columns. The river, half a mile in width, constantly curves; there are fre- quent gorges; large rocks stand in the stroams completely moss-covered. On tho head of & rocky island krown as Mamaloose, signifying in the Chinook langnage the *Isle of the Dead,” is an ancient Indian burial place, in which stands a_marblo monument to Victor Irwet, Oregon's, famous pionaer, and a firm friend of the Indians, among whon he lies buried here. The entranceto the cascades is a beautiful and romantic place. The gorge widens out into a valley for a mile; numerous little islands dot the stream, ‘and tho course of the river where it suddenly narrows and enters Lho gorgs cannot ve seen from the boat. In the center of one of the lttle islands stands a lofty moss covered rock, as regular in form and s picturesque in site as though placed there by the skillful land- scape gardener. Beyond the railroad bridge over which the narrow gauge—the frst piece of railroad built in Washington terri- tory—finds its way, a hundred feet above the river stands a singuiar and somber structure. Built of hewn logs, it consists of @ central projection witha wing on either side; it i8 two stories in height, and is plerced with two small windows on either side high up towards the roof, and with & row of loopholes lower down, through which agun could be fired. Coming closer, the stracture is seen to stand a hundred feet above, on the crest of a narrow ridge, from which the ground slopes away precipitously on throe sides, with the river all around, ex- on one side where there 18 a deep und narrow gorge, Ou this hill and in this rude forte Puil Sheridan with a few men held at bay a large body of Indians, huving with his small arms_one cunnon, which he used with terrible effect. As fast as the red man clambered up_the, stoep ascent, they wors mown down by shot, and finally were dofeated. The scenery along the narrow gauge raitroad for two or three miles is very grand. ‘The road winds about and crosses lofty briages and pierces the spuss of the mountains two or three hundred feet above the raging stream. I came up from Portland to the cascades and saw the beautiful scencry through the mountains by daylight. From Portland the boat goes down the Willamette some six miles and then turns eastward on the Colum- bia and runs twenty-five miles before enter- ing the gorges of the Cascade mountains, We make a brief stop av Fort Vancouver, a rambling, picturesque old town,’ with a fort along the stream. whero both' Graot and Sheridar served long before the civil war. Just beyond, a view wholly unexpected is had of two famous mountain heights—Mount Hood, the highest peak in the United States, Mount St. Helena, which is nearly as high and equally as impressivo. The latter is seon in the north, and presents a form of singular beauty. 'The vast mass completely covered Wwith show, has the regllarity of a suow mound made by chidren av play. Turning east into the Columbia, which is hero two or three miles in width, and is filied with low, wooded islands, a perfect view of Mount Hood is obtained. ' Only twenty-five miles away every outline of tho majestio form and evary beauty of the sky is faith- fully reflected in the placid waters of the Columbia, which “hold & mirror up to nature.” ‘The sun is about to rise behipd the mountain, and the reddening sky and fleecy clouds cateh- ing the heigbt fur above, form a setting for the Noleh mountain-farm whica the artist might long to behold. The snow which lies on the height of Mount Hood perpetually, now covers the entire mountain, ‘The peak appears sharp and regular, rising two and a balf miles above the imtervening densely- wooded foot hills, which seem placed there 8s a foil 1o set off to the best advantage the suowy peak. The lofty pure white outlines of the mountain are tinely contrasted with the dark green moss of the bills below, and with the reddening sky and the amber clouds above. One stands spell-bound in the preseuce of the aerial peak, as if feari that iv might fade away and vanish unsubstantial fabric of a vision”—if once the attention is withdrawn from it. ‘The romantic interest of the ride awak- encd by such @ scene continues unabated, ever-changing and ever-new for more than sixty miles. The Columbia, where the sight of Mount Hcod was obtained, is only thirty feot nbove the sea. The ocean tides, which rise t'wo and & balf feet at Portland, reach up o this point. Incessantly as one passes up the river beyond, he sees on either hand coreaay falling from the dizzy heights & thousand feet above. They look a quarter of amile away like moving silver snakes slowly uncoiling ana wending their course down from midway vp the mountain. The rocks everywhers, from base 1o summit, are flrun with a growth of thickest moss and the rs on their tops scem like the bursting forth of their mas: foundations into leafy bloom. Standing mid-stream, there rises rocky mass a hundred feet ucross, thickly covered wjth pines, from among which there runs up & long, slender rocky tower a few feet in diameter, thickly coated to the wop with densest moss, with which the entire body of the rocks is clothed. Muttnomah 1alls look a mile away like a slender curving mass of ice suspended from the rocks. have 8 width of several feet and fallin a sheer descent of 640 feet, and run into the river below over a foamin, cascade. A hundred feet away, is the Bria fall, which is wider but so thin as to look like a film of the most exquisite lace. There are a balf dozen other falls on either side, in which the water comes from 1,500 feot above in aseries of the most exquisite curves. There is oe which drops from a perpendicular ledge «f rocks several hundred feet in height and becomes spray snd then turns to Wwater again oo the rocks below.

[/ Correspondence ’ Solicited into stories that deal with the lower million, Mr. Faweett's realistic picture is not the story of one woman’s struggles against sin in this city; it is the story of many. We have but to study the faces in police courts and on the streets, when shadows lengthen, for confirmation of its terrible and impressive truthfulness. No false sentiment has deterred him from the taskof depicting the tearful tragedies that are cnacted before un- feeling audiences within our gates, The unweaned intellect will probably pronounce ‘‘The ¥ That Men Do as highly improper because the scene is laid in sordid and unsavory surround- ings and the leading characters are very humble persons. If there was only a high-life atmosphere to the tale, if the heart cries were smothered behind damask curtains and the tragic air was sweet with the scent of roses, these readers would find such stories as ‘“The Evil That Men Do” simply delightful, For, as 1n real life, theve are veneered ariswerats who don’t want to meet poor ECOIJIG even in books; don’t want to now how they live, love and suffer, and don’t care. Perhaps because it gives them bad dreams and indigestion. The sympathetic and humane reader will fina in “The Evil That Men Do” a great moral lesson, the first intelligent attempt made by an American novelist to paint the working girl in truthful colors without any of the glamour of romance or the fripperies of silly senti- ment. The plot is simple, its develop- ment tragic. Low life with all its horrors is de- picted in relentless colors by no uncer- tain hand. It is the story of a woman’s martyrdom who has loved not wisely but too well, und who vainly struggles to free herself from the tentacles of sin that press her hard. At last, broken hearted and dragged down with despair, death is merciful, and her weary drifts out into the golden mysteries night, “whither no man kroweth since the world began.” A LARVA AS FOOD. Roasted in Ashes, They Taste Better than an Omelet. Here is an appetizing extract from “Among Cannibals”: One night we spent .n a cave near the brook * i The cave was not large, and was low, cold and damp, and thus not very in- viting. We had but its naked stones for a couch, for there wus of course no grass to be found in the scrub. A big fire was kindled; outside it was pitch dark. My blacks had found in a large fallen tree some larvie of beetles (Coleoptera) on which we feasted. “There are several varicties of these edible larvae, and all have a different taste. The best one is glittering white, of the thickness of a finger and is found in the acacia trees. The others live in the scrubs and are smaller and not equal to the former in flavor. The blacks are so fond of them that they even eat them alive, while they pick them out of the decayed trunk of a tree—a not very at- tractive spectacle. The larvie were usually collected in baskets and so taken to the camp. The Australian does not as a rule eat raw animal food; the only exception I know of being these coleoptera larve, The large fire crackled lustily in the cave while we sat around it preparing the larvie. We simply placed them in the red-hot ashes, where they at once became brown and crisp, and the fat fairly bubbled in them while they were being thus prepaved. After being turned once or twice they were thrown out from the ashes with a stick and were ready to be eaten. Strange to say, these vau‘v:v were the best food the natives were able to offer me, and the only kind which 1 really enjoyed. If such a larva is broken in two it will be found to consist of a_yollow and toler- ably compact mass, rather like an ome- let. In taste it resembles an egg, but it seomed to me that the best kind, namely, the ecacia larvie, which has the flavor of nuts, tasted even better than a European omelet. The “natives always consumed the entire larva, while I usually bit off the head and threw aside the skin, but my men always con- sumed my leavings with great gusto. They also ate the beetles ns greedily as the {nrva. simply removing the hard wings before roasting them. A AT S o Baboon'’s Fondness for Goat Milk, The buboons, always troublesome to the crops, have of late developed a new propensity, saye Public Opinion, Mr. H. A, Bryden. suthor of “‘Kloof and Karroo” = (Longmans), says: ‘‘Some years back some one baboon having come across the dead body of a milch gout, discovered and extracted the milk-bag, and, like Eve, ‘saw that it was good.’ His discovery musi have been quickly imparted to hls fellows, for the Karroo farmers began to find their milch goats ripped up by these brutes solely for the sweet and luscious milk., The baboous, too, becoming ac- customed to butchering, presently turned their attention to the flesh, and will now destroy kids—and if they can manage it, goats—for their flesh alone.” As the author remarks, this modern de- velopment of a carnivorous habit coin- cident with the increase of flocks is.an- alogous to that observed in the sheep- killing parrot of New Zealand, — - J.G.
