That Made In China Many Years Ago

1t may be safely asserted that not
one of his episcopal brethren has ever
performed such a feat as formed an
episode in the early life Ct the newly
appointed bishop of Norwich. After
serving a couple Of years as curate
under DIR. Hooks at Leeds, Mr.. Sheep
shanks went out to British Columbia
in 1859, when that colony was a far
wilder and more isolated country than
now. He did eight years of the rough
work and then determined to go home
for a holiday, at all events. electinc to
travel via Japan and China, in those
days a by no means familiar route.
For months he disappeared entirely
from mortal ken and his family began
to entertain serious misgivings as to
his fate. One evening a young
Cambridge man, afterward head mas
ter of a well-known grammar school.
but tutor for the nonce to a Russian
prince, was smoking a cigarette in his
rooms In st. Petersburg, when his SER
want announced that a moujik wanted
to see him very urgently. The I'M.
known visitor was shown up and an
peared in the well-worn garb from
which Brian O'Lynn devised his simple
but practical sartorial notions. To his
hosts utter bewilderment this nm
couth being addressed him in refined
English, and presently explained that
he was a brother Cantab DESTROYS of
securing his good Offices. The man.
In short was Rev. John shoepshanks,
who, having landed some six months
before near the mouth Of the Amoor
river, had made his way alone and on
1901 through Tartary, Turkestan and
siberia to the banks Of the Neya.

WINSTON was the first speaker. He
started out by instituting comparisons
between the expenses of the local civic
government and that of ST. Paul. His
figures showed that during the past
four years the latter had reduced the
debt of the city $1,OO0,Oo0, while tina,
of Minneapolis had increased $4,000,00u.
The expenses of the police and fire
departments of the former city for the
past year was given at 1852, 900, and
that of Minneapolis $3.50, 900. He re-
viewed the expenses for several years
past, deducing the conclusion that the
debt of Minneapolis was increasing at
rapid and unWarranted rate, while
that of ST. Paul was being paid Off
This, he claimed, was the awakening
of the people of St. Paul to the fact
that 1t was necessary to reduce their
governmental expenses and the amount
of taxes to reassure investors and in
vite new capital. The prediction was
made that unless Minneapolis made a
change very soon, capital would be
withdrawn from the city and invested
down the river. He argued on the as
sumption that the affairs of this city
could be more equitably managed, and
that there was no excuse for larger
expenditure here than in ST. Paul. The
head of the police department was cen
sured for his ignorance, and the chief
executive upbraided for Indifference 10
