A prominent Englishman has charged
that the loss Of the Franklin Expedition
was caused by the fraud Of contractor,
who furnished rotten canned meats for
the support of the crew. The incrimin-
ated party has never demanded an investi-
CATION. It will be remembered that a
lot OF rotten canned beef was sent out
for the Jeanette Expedition, but the i'm
purity Of the consignment was discovered
in time to cause its rejection. The
Rogers has had similar experience. A
large supply OF canned provisions was
found to be rotten. This stuff also came
from the East Fortunately, its putridity
was discovered in time to prevent Ito
shipment. 1t thus appears that one crew
fell yicti.aa to the cupidity or carclessness
OF contractors, and that two other crews
were endangered from the same cause.
1t is sichening to think of the sending Of
men into the Polar regions with rotten
provisions. Mere carelessness in such o
case becomes crime. The San Francisco

Animal Reasoning.

A correspondent of Nature, writing
from Cambridge, Mass, says:
"a lady, n friend of mime, was ut one
time matron of hospital fer poor wo-
men and children which was main
tanned by subscription. One OF the IN
mates was blind girl who was there,
not as u patient, but temporarily till a
home could he found for her. She had
learned to feed herself. and ut meal
times tray containing her dinner was
placed on her knees as she sat i'll
comfortable chair for her special con-
venience in feeding herself. One day
while she was eating, the pet cat OF the
establishment placed herself before the
girl and looked long and earnestly mt
her, so earnestly that the niatron. fear
ing the animal meditated some. mis-
chief to the girl, took her out of the
room. Again the next day, at the Same
hour, the cat entered the room, but this
time she walked quietly TO the girls
side, reared herself on her hind legs,
and noiselessly, stealthily reached out
her paw to the plate, selected and
seized a morsel that pleased her. and,
silently as she came. departed to enjoy
her stolen meal. The girl never no.
ticed her loss, and when told of it by
her companions laughed very heartily y
1t is evident that the cat from obser-
vation had entirely satisfied herself that
the girl could not see, and by a process
of reasoning decided she could >steal a
good dinner by this practical use of her
knowledge. ...+ .-s- sH

A Natural Mistake.

IL was fogGy afternoon, and the ram
Lad begun To fail. Lower Broadway
was crowded with draws, buses, and
vehicles of every description, drivers
were shouting ut each other, and there
was Il scene Of great confusion. People
Stood upon the sidewalks waiting in the
rain for al opportunity to cross the
street, and among the impatient throng
was an elderly looking lady apparently
much troubled by the situation, who,
after watching in vain for II policeman,
finally made an effort 10 cross the
street, but retreatc,l in alarm. Just
then IL portiy mid,llcaged gentleman of
benign countenance stepped up and
touched the lady on the shoulder: 1T
is useless for you TO wait or to look for
n policeman" he said. 1T is n pity
that an old lady like yourself should be
kept standing in this crowd, SO if you
will take my arm l will cross''--here he
paused, for the face of the lady was
turned toward him, and he bcheid the
round, rosy countenance of IL young
lady just out of her teens. Her bright
black eyes spoke volumes of astonish-
ment and Indignation, and with an adj
ditional upward turn TO her naturally
rctrousse nose she mockingly replied:
''Old lady. indeedr' and picking up her
dainty skirts she made lively run
across the street. gaining the. opposite
side i'll safety, and was quickly out of
sight. The polite but dazed Samaritan
stood still for moment in silent Won
der, and then walked slowly away,
whistling softly to himself. The secret
of the blundcr was simply this: The
young lady was completely enveloped
in an antique Mother Hubbards cloak,
whose heavy folds hung straight down
from its wide, old-fashione,lyoke Upon
her head was an immense coal-scuttie
scoop bonnet, the overarchinS brim
covering her face and head and the
sides of the bonnet were held down by
broad strings, hid in an immense bow
at one side. A large Mother Hubbard
bag OF black satin hung from her arm,
and with her back to the crowd she
looked as if she might be her own great
grandmother. -lsrlti a.. ttsslfzI

Russian Women

Women have played an important
part in Russian history, says the Phila-
delphia Record, from Ogle, a wise and
able ruler of the embryo empire in the
middle of the tenth century, to Catha-
rine ii, whose long and brilliant reign
of thirty -four years. ending in 1896, ex-
hibits her as the most successful sOv-
ereign of Russia since Peter the Great.
1t was Sophia, niece of Constantine,
the last Byzantine Emperor, and wife
of Ivan Ill, who, toward the close of
the fifteenth century, caused her impe-
yiak spouse to introduce the arts of CIV
iliEllion into the almost barbarous
realm. The good Queen Anastasia,
first of the royal Romanofs, is related
to have exercised tlIe most beneiicent
influence over her husband, Ivan the
Terrible. The Grand Duchess Sophia,
half sister of Peter the Great. was
sinsularly able,and ambitious woman,

Women in Boardiug-Houses.

Differences in families united by mar
riage are mostly on the side Of the wo-
men. Woman fails in tact to preserve
the amenities of the hearth. The soft
answer or the repression which evades
al issue is more on the part of the man
than the wife. Young women manage
their lovers, but lose their skill to man
age their husbands. Women make the
cliques in congregations. church socie-
ties. family hotels. boarding-houses,
and wherever lovely woman predOmin-
ates. Lack of tact makes the tradition

Causes of the Present Autt-Sewish
Agitation.

The bitter feeling felt in Ge,mrny against
the Jews Ms class has been attributed
recently By one of our foregn correspon-
dents 10 the simple fact that The thrifty
Hebrew has been successful where often the
equally thrifty native German las failed.
This point is treated at greater length by
Charles Grant in the last number of the Con.
temporary Review. We quote some of his
remarks:
The way in which the value OF home prop
erty rose immediately after tho conclusion OF
the peace WAS simply marvellous There was
u real reason for this, as Berlin had been
overcrowded before the war, and there was
every reason 10 believe that tue
fact of its having become the
capital of the empire would lead
to an increase of its inhabitants
But this simple calculation led 70 the widest
speculation Rents doubled, Gnd landlords
began to regard the tenant who was In pos
session of anything resembling lease as an
insidious enemy who had outwitted them.
Single houses we're sold two or three times
in the course of the day at ever advancing
prices, and families whose only property
was the miserable hovel in which they lived
woke up one morning to find themselves in
possession of what seemed to their imagina-
tions almost boundess wealth. This WAS
only one of tho symptoms of the growing
disorder of the public mind, but il probably
contributed TO extend the evil by bringing
the possibility of sudden gains 10 the imme
date notice of classes who might otherwise
have remained beyond the reach of infection.
AT any rate, a fsverish desire for
immediate wealth took possession Of oil
classes Whoever could command hun
dred dollars saw III Dorado opening
before and noblemen of the highest
rank found it impossible to resist
the same alluriDg vision. Sober tradesmen
and poorly paid teachers, who had always
hitherto been careful to invest their little
saving in the only safest securities, realized
the greater part Of their capital in order TO
gamble with il on the stock exchange. There
was Of course no desrth of impossible COM
mercial and industrial schemes, but il Was
