Walled Cities in India and China.

The first glimpse we get OF an eastern
walled city unfolds at once memories of
our childhood days, which have perhaps
never been awakened since, and the pic
lures of our childish books, which i'm
pressed themselves so wildly upon our
minds, are reproduced in the bright col
ors of old, when we are brought face to
face with the quaint battlements and
the dark gateways, with the accessories
of bright, burning sunshine and tur-
baned figures and professions of camels
and the listless calm of the tropical land.
Such old cities are still to be seen in In
dia, still walled in the old fashion and
still peopled by the figures of the Biblical
picture book.
Closely akin to them are those walled
towns standing on the canals of mid
China, passing through which, say at
the close of day, when every tower and
every roof stands out clearly cut against
the brilliant western sky and we are
challenged by a grotesque figure, armed
with spear and probably wearing
armor, the illusion is complete, and for
the moment we find it hard to realize
that we are travelling at the end of the
Nineteenth century.
Even in much changed Japan there
are old cities which still retain their walls
of the age of feudalism, and in the very
heart of the capital the imperial palace
is surrounded by the same quaint forti-
fications which in old troublous times
made it an imperium in imperio, al
though the walls are crumbling and the
gates are never shut, and the meats have
been abandoned to the lotus and to carp
of monstrous size and fabulous age

PORTRAITS OF COLUMBUS.

The public school pupils, who are
going to have the lead all over America
in the celebration of the 40Oth anniver-
tary of the discovery Of America by
Columbus, are already asking how Co.
lumbus looked.
Many leading American publications
have recently contained timely articles
on the great discoverer, and the variety
of portraits which has accompanied these
articles has been surprising.
By the highest authorities it is con-
coded that there is no likeness of Colum-
bus whose claim to consideration is in
lisputable.
From Oviedo and his own son Ferdi-
nand-two persons who knew him-we
have descriptions of his appearance,
upon which must be based our judg-
ment of the alleged portraits.
From them we learn that his face
was long, neither full nor thin; his
cheek bones rather high; his nose aqui-
line; his eyes light gray; his complexion
fair and high colored. Up to the age of
thirty his hair was of light color, but
became rapidly gray after that age. It
must be admitted in the face of these
details that not one Of the portraits gives
very positive evidence of presenting the
great discoverer as he lived.
The earliest claimant for considera-
ton is q wood engraving by Paolo
Giovio, published in 1875, which we

A METROPOLITAN WILDCAT.
A City Woman's Remarkable Experienc
with a Strange Pussy.

A City Woman's Remarkable Experiences
with Strange Pussy.
A New York woman had an expert
ence few nights ago which she will
not soon forget-one which, considering
her environment, was very surprising.
Her home is ground apartment, occu-
plying two floors, however, in one of the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor, and in
this room she was seated one night
when a peculiar noise from the family
parrot, who was in his cage in an oppo-
site room, attracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted his cage covered, she
picked up soft wooden couch cover
and started across the hail. At the
threshold of the second room she saw
crouching on the top of the parrots
cage a gray cat, which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in inclining
the cage almost to the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and
down the upper side in frenzy of
fright. The unequal struggle could not
have lasted many seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis, though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner Of women, to "shoo" the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made spring at her,
and but for her quick movement in
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt of the attack. AS it
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass of woolly material in
which he was enmeshed; then, aided by
the desperate push which the now ter
rified woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. - recovered her senses and
closed the door between herself and the
cat, then violently rang the bell for as
sistance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to place of safety
in a remote room, an attempt was made
to dislodge the cat from the library. At
sight Of her pursuers the creature began
to rush about, jumping through brass
screen with force enough to break it,
knocking over bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing as If it were tree and run
ming out on the bare curtain pole. From
this high perch he glared down at those
beneath him until Mr.. IS arrival
shortly afterward. He was then prod
ded down and leaped through a window
opened for him to the pavement below,

FRIDAY ONCE WAS LUCKY.

The New York board of women man.
ayers of the Columbian exposition are
alive to the mistake of dedicating the
buildings and grounds of the Worlds
fair ON Oct. IL. At recent meeting in
Albany member of the board made
comprehensive statement of the reasons
why the change of date to Oct. 81 should
be made, and said in closing: 81 would
also like to state, in this connection, one
sentimental reason which am sure will
show very interesting set of coinci-
dences. Columbus left the Old World
on Friday, discovered the New World
ON Friday, left the New World on a
Friday, returned to the Old World on
Friday, and the 21st of October also falls
on a Friday; SO we see that for us, at
least. Friday is not an unlucky day"

PREPARE FOR OCT. q.

The outline Of what is proposed for
Columbus Day is enough to indicate two
things:
First-That the official programme
will be SO simple and can be SO easily ar
ranged that no school need arait till it is
published before beginning its own
preparations for the celebration.
Second-That the object of the ma
tional public school celebration of Co
lumbus Day needs the cordial co-opera-
ton of the citizens generally in each To-
cality in order to be fully realized.
The executive committee has also sent
us few suggestions of practical
nature which will be of advantage to
teachers and all other friends Of the cele-
bration just at present. They are as
follows:
First-A strong local committee should
be appointed at once. 1t would be well
to include in this committee not only
the leading school officials, but also
editors of the local press, army veterans
and leading citizens who are known to
favor the celebration by the schools.
Only such as are likely to give earnest
support to the work should be appointed.
Second-The postoffice address of the
chairman of this local committee should
be sent to the Office Of the chairman of
the national eXecutive-committee Gran
els Bellamy, Youths Companion Office,
Boston, Mass.), in order that the chair
man of the local committee may receive
the official programme and other COM
munications.
Third-This committee should first see
that each school is provided with a flag,
the salute to which will be the first fea-
ture of the official programme. They
should also advise with each principal
as to the best way in which the celebra-
ton can be carried on in his school
house, arranging for speakers and sug-
costing exercises additional to the Off
cial programme.
Fourth-This committee should also
arrange that the citizens celebration be
made to occur in the afternoon, and
should see that the desired prominence
is given to the free school idea in public
ceremonies. Where no arrangements
have yet been made for citizens cele-
bration this committee might them
selves take the initiative, and organize
the afternoon demonstrations as well as
the morning observances in the school
houses.
Fifth-The greater publicity that is
given to this committee, both in its for
nation and in it's work, the better. Ac-
cordingly, the attention of the people
generally must be gained and their inter-
est secured. Let the people be freely in
vited to give suggestions and to send
communications to the local press as to
the best conduct of the celebration.
Sixth-The committee should see that
the editors of the local papers are inter-
ested in the movement, and the people
informed through the columns of these
papers of the celebration and what is
being done to make it a success.
In one word, this 400th anniversary Of
America belongs to all the people. The
public schools take the lead because they
are the organization closest to the peo-
pie, most characteristic Of the people and
fullest of hope for the people.

Hither in those days came up out of
the mysterious western seas the great
argosies laden with gold and silver and
jewels, with silks and spices and rare
woods, wrung at the cost of thousands
of harmless lives and cruelties unspeak-
able from the fair lands which lie be-
tween the waters of the Caribbean sea
and the giant wall of the Andes. And
hither, when England too began to turn
her eyes to Ell Dorado, came the great
war galleons of Spain and Portugal /.

Important Advice.

A gentleman who believed that to an
important extent clothes made the man,

visited the Comte de Chambord at Frohs-
dorf a few years ago. The Comte de
Chambord was the grandson of Charles
x, the last Bourbon king Of France, and
the French Royalists called him Henri
V, and hoped, until his death, in 1888, to
restore him to the throne. The mar
quis, of whom this story is told, was
Partisan, a man of fashion and an ar
dent Royalist. The Comte de Chambord
was glad of an opportunity to talk over
political affairs with man who must
know what was going on in Paris; SO
after few minutes chat he said: "Mar-
quis, it is not often that have chance
to talk with any one so well informed
on the signs of the times in Paris as
yourself. Now in case return to Paris
what would you advise me to do?"
He waited for a bit of profound po-
itical philosophy. The marquis looked
at "Henri the Fifth" and hesitated.
Should he venture on a great liberty
But his advice had been asked; as a
loyal subject he would give it frankly.

There are many other so called like

There are many other so called like
nesses of Columbus. They are widely
scattered and it is not easy to link them
with the three shown above, which prob
ably have the best claims to consider
alton. But these three have little in
common. They would never be taken
for portraits of the same person.
The most authoritative descriptions of
the stature, complexion and personality
of Columbus coincide, and yet the most
generally accepted portraits are not in
harmony. Many artists disregard the
statement that his nose was aquiline
and make it of decidedly retrousse
type; others portray him as a brunette
with a short, fat and beardless face.
The next time we see him he is blond
with long, thin face, well covered with
whiskers. We always know him, as the
artist thoughtfully introduces his name;
otherwise a lively guessing match might
result. The style of the pictures would
naturally suggest the celebrities of a
few centuries ago. They might be taken
for Plato, Othello the Moor, Alaric,
Julius Caesar, Richard III and a score
of others whose faces figure in history.
Even composite Of the many portraits
could not blend Or unite in one the dis
sordant conceptions which we see every
day. We must know Columbus by his
deeds, and not by his pictures.

Immortal Morn, all hail,
That saw Columbus sail
By Faith alone.
The skies before him bowed,
Back rolled the ocean proud,
And every lifting cloud
With glory shone!
Fair Science then was born
On that celestial morn,
Faith dared the sea;
Triumphant DER her foes,
Then Truth immortal rose
New Heavens to disclose
And Earth to free!
Strong Freedom then came forth
To liberate the earth
And crown the right.
So walked the pilot bold
Upon the sea Of gold,
And darkness backward rolled
And there was light!
Sweep, sweep across the seas,
Ye rolling jubilees,
Grand chorals raise;
The world adoring stands,
And with uplifted hands
Offers from all the lands
To God its praise!
Ye hosts Of Faith, sing on;
The victories We have won
Shall Time increase,
And like the choral strain
That fell on Bethlehem's plain,
Inspire the perfect reign
Of Love and Peace!
