Friday, Oct 10, being the day set
aside as belonging to the historical
section of the club. the work presented
under the leadership of Mrs. McVicker
was purely historical. The object of
the section being 10 present to the
club their work as a complete whole,
the work was taken up where it was
left for the month OF September.
The work presented was Europe and
Cathay. The topic giver began by say
ing: "The history of European civil
ization is divided into three periods
the first extending until the eleventh
century is called the period of origin or
formation; the second, which did not
terminate till the sixteenth century, is
the period of experiments, attempts,
groupings; the third, which began with
the sixteenth century and is still pur-
suing its course, is the period of de-
velopment It is with the second. the
period of cropping. that we have to do.
There was given a general summing
up of affairs in Europe at the time OF
the discovery of America, of which one
could give but little idea in limited
space.
The second part of the subject was,

That Sheep Road Again.

Tucked away in one of the pigeon
holes of the desk of Councilman Young
are the papers relating to the con-
struction of the proposed sheep road
around the head of Parley's canyon.
This matter was referred to the COM
mittee on irrigation with power to act,
the understanding being that the coun-
ty was to bear one-half of the expense,
which is estimated at $500. Now, how
ever, the members of the county court
refuse to vote for the expenditure and
if the road is constructed the city
must bear all of the expense. The
members of the committee are adverse
to mourning the expense and there the
matter rests. Already the sheep are
returning from their summer ranges,
and as usual the owners are driving
them down Parley's canyon, greatly
to the injury of the stream. The con-
struction of the road around the head
Of the canyon would enable the sheep
men to drive their fiocks down between
Big and Little mountains and over in
to Emigration, where they could do no
damage The improvement is an alb
solute necessity if the waters of Par
ley's are to be used in the future.

AN EXTRA HEAVY FISH.

[From the Contemporary Review.]
Frank auckland, who was my cousin,
told me this story He belonged to a
fishing club on the Thames, which held
its meetings once a week, and the
chairman for the evening was the one
who had caught the heaviest fish. On
one occasion a Mr.. Jones was the for
tunate individual; it was the first time
that he had earned the honor, and he
was very proud of it, though his prize
fish had only been a barbel. One of
the members of the club was unable
to stay for dinner, and asked Jones for
the fish to take home with him, as it
was not to form part of the menu. He
consented, though rather unwillingly,
and nothing was heard of the matter
till the next meeting, when Buckland
CHANGED to be present.
"a curious thing happened about
that barbel which Jones gave me last
Saturday." observed its recipient; it
had swallowed a little pike
you will not make me swallow
that" observed auckland, confidently.
"a barbel could not do it; its conform
alton forbids it,
You may theorize as you like" re-
turned the other, but / must be al
lowed to believe the evidence of my
senses. saw the jack taken out of
the barbel with my own eyes,
ST don't believe it, said auckland.
The conversation, in fact, was grow
ing very warm, when Jones broke in
with, Don't quarrel, gentlemen; you
are both of you right. The fact is, !
was so afraid that somebody might
catch a heavier fish than 1 that /
poked the little jack down the barbePs
throat with my fishing rod, to make
him weigh more. James Payn.

SOME pUR1TANIsM LEFT.

Culture and skepticism and the
growth of luxury and refinement are
no doubt affecting English character
but to an extent which only seems
considerable because the cultivated
and skeptical, the refined and luxuri-
Gus minority exaggerate it. The ex-
aggeration is apt to deceive because
the classes which have outgrown the
influence of Puritanism are dispropor-
tionately vocal, as they are relatively
small; VIE the classes among whom
that influence is still dominant are a
virtually voiceless multitude.
But the impartial student OF the
national character is constantly being
confronted with evidence to the fact
that the process of so-called ''emancl-
patton has reached but the merest
fringe of the community, and that the
great bulk of middle class Englishmen
are still, to all intents and purposes

1.-The Portuguese Explorations given
by Mrs. Nelden The question of the
times was how to reach Cathay. The
topic giver spoke of the voyages down
the western coast of Africa to see if
it could be circumnavigated. Spoke of
the theories advanced by the geograph-
ers of the times. many of their strange
beliefs and breads, showing how near
ly insurmountable the obstacles which
presented themselves were. The COM
pass was in use, but there were no
thermometers. Prince Henry was
treated of both as a navigator and as
the founder of the first observatory.
Columbus, with his object, the dis
covery of the marvellous province of
Cipango- and the conversion to Chris
tianity of the grand khan, was treated
at length, The assistance received
from Toscanelli, who urged Columbus
to sail from east to west to reach Ca
thay, was pointed out.
Then followed the account of the
voyages of Vespucci and a very in
teresting account of how America re-
ceived the name, showing that Yes
pucci was entirely free from blame in
the matter. Now, for the first time.

AMoR1TEs AND HIrrITEs.

TFrom the Contemporary Review.1
There is, think, some evidence that,
in the earliest times, the great centre
of native civilization was in the Leba-
non. and not in Southern Palestine. The
Phoenicians had ports and fleets long
before 1900 B. c. in this part. The Am
orites lived in the Lebanon mountains,
and the Eittites held all the plains near
the Orontes, from Kedesh to Aleppo
and to Carchemish. Remains of their
art have been found by Burckhardt at
Klamath, and by Sir Charles Wilson
and others in Northern Syria; and this
region is full of deserted mounds, some
forty feet high, which concealed I'M
known treasures of antiquity. The
sites in this region which require eX-
ploration-and which others will soon
explore if we do not-include especially
Kadesh itself, Arpad and Carchemish.
/ do not think we should confine our
selves between the limits of Beersheba
and Dan, for the kingdom of Solomon
reached to the Euphrates, and the
Land of the Hittites" (often mentioned
in the Bible, is quite as important for
Bible study as is Southern Palestine.
Our limits, I think, should be drawn
from the Egyptian boundary to the
foot of the Taurus, and the most prom
Using sites are to be found in the plain
of the Orontes, east of Lebanon. In
Lebanon itself, inscriptions of Nebu-
chadnezzar are cut upon the rocks, and
the Assyrian conquerors, returning
from their expedition to Egypt, left
monuments at Beirut and at Samala,
describing their distant victories The
Egyptians set up statues at Tunep
near Arpad, and it is quite possible that
in this region we may yet recover texts
which will tell us of the conquest OF
Jerusalem by the northern enemy, OF
early inscriptions, even of the time OF
Solomon.-Major Gender

The. Usual Slow Progress.

Progress on the gravity sewer is not
what 1t should be, and it is now very
doubtful if the main reaches the inter
section of Second South and Third
West streets before the advent of win
ter. In order to accomplish this end
it will be necessary for the contractors
to make some genuine exertions, and
not continue to loiter along at the
present rate. The notice sent out by
the board of public works to the eff
feet that the backfilling vas not sat
isfactory reached the contractors yes
terday, but there was no noticeable i'm
provements in the methods which
were in vogue before. It is more sthan
likely that some fun may yet result.

Police TeIephone system.

Some extensive improvements are
being made in the police alarm system
and by the end Of the coming week
every box in the system will be equip
ped with a telephone instrument to
connect with a switchboard at head
quarters. AS soon as the instruments
are all in and the connections made,
an order will be promulgated to the
effect that every officer on the various
shifts must report in every thirty min
utes and await orders at the box. By
this means the headquarters will be
in constant communication with the
officers on the beats and double
check will thereby follow. This is an
improvement for which Chief Pratt
has worked very untiringly, and as
the electric construction is being done
by the fire department electrician the
cost will be comparatively trifling.

EGYPTIAN COTTON.
[From the N. A. Review.l


Every acre wrested from the desert
by the magical mud and water Of the
Nile will be capable of producing a
bale of cotton, superior enough to COM
mand a quick market, presumably to
the exclusion of a bale of American
grown cotton, for Egypt is already our
aggressive competitor in that inn
portant fibre.
Whatever the crop may be in the
southern states, it surely is king in
Egypt, with the Delta of the Nile for
it's throne The soil and climate are
so perfectly adapted to cotton raising
that it is the governing crop, and
| brings enough money to the country
enormous debt created by the lavish
ness of Ismail, and is so surely re-
deeming the land from the grasp of its
creditors that Egyptian bonds have
sold at a premium during the recent
times Of financial distrust.
Eight or ten years ago Egypt was
insolvent Today she is bristling with
prosperity. The position of the fella-
heen is constantly improving. The
corvee is abolished, and the people
have no more compulsory labor, except
| to keep the Nile within bounds at high
| flood, for which they are paid. The
| land taxes are gradually being reduced,
and eXtortlon and corruption seem TO
have been stamped out. She sells
cereals enough to pay for the imported
articles necessary to maintain her SIM
pie standard of life. 1 can't help
thinking that cotton-or the money it
produces-has played a part of no
small Importance in the work of ad-
ministration that has brought all these
blessings.
A bird's-eye view of the area of cot
ton cultivation would give the outline
of a half-opened fan. From the point
of the Delta near Cairo it stretches
nearly to Port Said on the northeast
and beyond Alexandria on the north
west, this smile being helped by the
great arc curving into the Mediter-
ranean, the narrow strip devoted to
cotton along the Nile from Cairo, 10(
miles southwark, forming the handle
This area Is veined with innumerable
canals, branching from the Rosetta
and Damietta arms of the Nile, which
distribute the vitalizing waters.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

In a speech at Rochdale, John Bright
said: There is nothing, to my mind,
more base than to cruelty treat ami
mails who cannot answer. who cannot
resent, who cannot avenge themselves,
who cannot escape, and who, whatever
their sufferings may be in many cases,

times see shown TO dogs and horses. l
have a great affection for dogs and
very great regard for horses.

intelligent, but horses are much more
intelligent than the world generally
gives them credit for: and with them,
however much kindness is shown, that
kindness is repaid hundred or thou

generous return they make for the
good treatment they receive. There
