THE POLO BROTHERS.
They Wandered Into the Unknown Land,
of Cathay.

OF 1atndy
Many hundred years ago, in the year
1905, let us say, before Columbus discov-
cred America, or the art of printing had
been invented, a strange thing hap
pened in Venice, Italy. Three men,
dressed in outlandish garb, partly
European and partly Asiatic, appeared
in the streets of that city, making their
way to the gates of lofty and hand
some house which was then occupied
by members of the ancient family of
Polo. The three strangers, whose
! speech had a foreign accent, claimed adj
mittance to the mansion, saying that
| they were AIaffeo and Nicolo Polo,
brothers, and Marco, son of Nicolo, all
of whom had been absent in the wild
and barbarous countries in the far east
for more than "a years, and had long
since been given up as lost.
In those days, nobody in Europe knew
much about the regions in which the
three Polos had traveled and what lit
tie they did know was from vague and
| and few reports. Two friars, Plano
Carpini and William Rubruquis, it is
true had reached the borders of Cathay,
or northern China, and had brought
back accounts of the wonders of that
mysterious land, of which they had
heard from the subjects of the great
khan, who reigned over vast empire.
Butnobody among the learned and most
travelled people of Europe knew exactly
what manner of people lived, or what
countries lay, beyond the western boun-
dairy of Cathay. None knew aught #
the inhabitants Tor if there were inhab-
itants) of the regions that we now know
as India, Sumatra, Japan, Corea and the
eastern coasts of Asia and Africa. 1t
was supposed that the farthest ex-
IRENE, or eastern edge, of Cathay ran off
into region of continual darkness,
bog or marsh where all manner of
strange beasts, hobgoblins and mon
sters roamed and howled. And it was
not surprising that when the three
Polos, for these were they, came back
from that desperately savage country
and claimed their own, they were
laughed to scorn. 1t seemed reasonable
TO believe that the three, having been
gone so many years, had wandered off
into the Sea of Darkness and had per-
ished miserably, or had been destroyed
by the wild creatures of that terrible
region.
How the three Polos so Jar convinced
their relations, who were in possession
of the Polo mansion in Venice, that they
were willing TO let in the newcomers,
we do not know; but John Baptist
Ramusio, who has written an entertain-
ing history of the Polo family, sets
forth what was done by the three Polos
to prove that they were what they
claimed to be, after they had taken pos
session Of their house. They explained
that they had been in the service of the
great khan, or emperor, of the Mongol
empire, and that they had amassed
wealth while in the region variously
known as Cathay, China, Mongolia. aud
the far east.-Noah Brooks, in St. Mich

eNeLIsHMeN AND AMERICA.
Many Who Have Been Warm Friends OF
This Country

Tn, fact is that the English puolle
men who have understood America or
who have seemed to care to understand
her, have, at least until recently al
ways represented a small minority
During the first century of our national
life scarcely an Englishman OF emil
nence was elear-sighted enough to per-
eeive Americas real devotion to great
ideals. Our British knsmen thought
us horde of Gradgrinds and nothlAg
else; Whereas in spite OF a seeming
absorption in material things, the ma
tional life was graphing WITH nlsn'S
ethical and political ideas. which 'ne
sellishness and RESPONSIBILITY OF poll
ticians might sometimes dietort out
never stife. Leigh Hunt, as Loweil
used to remind Us. could never THINK OF
America without seeing in imagination
a gigantic counter stretched all along
our seaboard; and we bore Hunts ridi-
Guile with a complacency that was the
more cheerful because his eallber ana
weight of metal were scarcely great
enough to do much execution over sea-
| CARLYLE sneered; we remembered hisdys-
pepsia and forgaye. Rusl<in emptied
the Walls of his eloquent contempt upon
our sacrifice TO Americas freedom ana
integrity; We abated no jot or little OF
our yeneration for his prophets mes
sage. while we strove to make just allow
ance for the vagaries Of the hyperes-
thetic temperament. These things 10
is easy TO eondope, = < The Eng
lishmen who have understood Amerl-
can life have judged it by something be-
sides the froth OF irresponsible press
and the antics of provincial "states-
men," Cobden's fatal exposure Of his
life to do us service, and John Brights
| brave words in the hour OF cur distress,
can never be forgotten. The memory
of Thomas Hughes-alasl that we
must write memory" now-will al
ways remain a rich and fragrant leg
acy, to which, in a peculiar sense, we
are coheirs with Englishmen; while
the work of Mr. Bricc has not only won
our respect and gratitude, but Is bound
to leave deep impress on our life. None
of these men was blind to the evident
foibles, defects and crudities of the
strenuous life of an earnest and Yirile
people, On the other hand, none invited
distrust by silly attempts TO 1atter or
eaiole. But all were quick 10 recognize
in American aspiration, achievements
and representative character something
other and better than mere bigness.
They even ventured now and then 10
speak of these things as great; but the
word sits better on their lips than on

BOOSTERS GROWING.
Bold Chandelier Frequently Declares

Bold Chandelier Frequently Declares
Himself at the Wrong Time. IA
BOOSTERS are famous for Growing ut
the wrong time. If they once start to
crow they are bound to finish. You
can't stop them. A famous physician
Up in HagerstoWn, who was member Of
the yestry, once carried his game rooster
to the main in a bag, because he had to
stop at the yestry meeting on the way
and he did not wish the parson and The
other vestrymeu to see where he was
going. But it was no use. The rooster
lifted up his voice from the depths Of
the bag and disturbed the meeting
You can't suppress a rooster. II he
makes up his mind to crow, no con-
siderations of expediency can influence
him to stop.
a Baltimore boy had fine Plymouth
Rock rooster which was decorated with
a beautiful tail, and he was altogether
proud of his appearance. The boy last
summer sent him up to the farm andat
first he was a great success. Ihe
country hens hoclSed around him AMI
admired his fine feathers and his city
ways. But his happiness only endured
for n season. One day he began TO
moult and he did not stop in time lie
kept on moulting until he looked Ike
the cook had picked him ready to bon
for chicken soup. Then the hens lelt
him and another rooster became coeN
of the walk, and evil entreated our
friend Thenceforth he had TO so mi
flock by himself. When he found worm
and cluckcd for the hens to come ahu
enjoy it they turned up their noses Az
him and the rival rooster would ily at
him and eat the worm and preVal
nightly against him. And so all IN,
summer the poor bird ate the bread 'l
affection in solitude.
Hens are like women in another re'
spect. They cannot keep a secret any
more than a rooster can stop Growing
A hen will spend half day lookng i0I
a safe and secret place to lay her iresn
egg. And no sooner has she found "
and put her egg there than she jumps
off the nest and gives the whole snaP,
away by cackling as if her heart "ou''
break. The more important a see's'
the hen has the more Impossible u -
for her TO keep it. What she hears j"
the ear she proclaims ON the house'oP'
If a hen has n brood with only eno
chicken i'm il she makes as Wuch lu',
over that one chicken asa woman "ou''
oyerninety and nine children and sIg"ga'
children and wearies everybody "lln y, y,
And if she happens to hatch ont q ou ,,
It is painful to see what a goose sns
makes of herself about it.-Baltimols
