protest, Notwithstanding the company

FEUDALrsM-G. ", City. The feudal system
was one of political organization with ref
erenee to the tenure of land and military SER
vice and allegiance prevalent in Europe in
ages long ago. Its main popularity was that
the bulk of the land was divided into feuds or
fiefs, held by the owners on condition of the
performance of certain duties especially mill
tary service to superior lord This superior
might be either the sovereign or some subject
had created the tief by subdivision. Accord
ing to the pure feudal system the lord was en-
titled to the fealty OF his tenants but nor 10
that of his suo-tenants, every man looki ng onIv
to his immediate lord. In England the vassai
age established by Henry VII was abolished bv
statute in 1860, during the reign of William /
100S. and was abolished in 1746. In France II
was established by Clovis, in 4S6, and was
abolished by Louis XI in 1870. In China il
prevailed from very early times and was
brought to an end go B. G. In Japan it was
abolished in 1871.

way: When there is a mass of vapor floating in

that gives the sun its red appearance when
viewed through the moisture-1aden air. All
the other tints are refracted and dispersed, the
atmosphere when moist acting in the same

PRINCESS ScHEHERAzADE-A. R., City. Scheh.
erazade is the name of the hypothetical
princess, relator of the stories in the ARABIAN
Nights" She was the elder daughter of the
Vizier OF Persia. The Sultan Schahriah, ex-
asperated at the infdelity of his wife, came to
the hasty conclusion that no woman could be
faithful, so he determined to marry n new
wife every day and strangle her at daybreak on
the morning following the marriage. Sche-
herazade, wishing 10 free Persia from this dis
grace, requested to be made the Sultan's wife
and succeeded in her wish. She was young
and beautiful. OF great courage and ready wit
well read, had an excellent memory knew
history, philosophy and medicine, was besides
good musician and dancer. She obtained OF the
Sultan for her younger sister, Dinarzade per-
mission to sleep in chamber adjoining the
Sultan's, and instructed her TO say one hour
before daybreak. "Sister, ii you are not asleep
relate to me one OF those delightful stories
which you know, as this will be the last you
will be able to tell me-" Scheherazade then
asked permission to grant her sisters last
quest and, permission being granted, she CON-
menced to tell story whicn did not end al
day break, and 1T always left something 10 be
told in explanation. This story she told in the
hearing OF the Sultan. who became greatly in
terested, and in order 10 hear the balance
spared her lie for one day. This went on for
1901 nights, when the Sultan's resentment
was worn out, and his admiration for his Sui
lana was so great that he revoked his decree,
having found in the Princess q faithful, intel
Igent and loving wife.
