CITY BREvlTIES.

Nearly everyone who has visited
shuptrine's drug and seed store at
Congress and Jefferson streets has seen
the big black tiger cat that has been
a regular member of the store family
for years. Some weeks ago Tom had
commissions and took to the cellar. He
would allow no one to approach him
and fell away until he was almost a
skeleton A day or two ago Mr.. shup-
trine determined to And out what
Toms aiimeht was. He was captured
after some Ityaneuvering and it was
seen at once that there was something
the matter with one Of his feet. A
closer examination showed an elastic
band around one of his legs so tight
that it had cut through the flesh to
the bone. The exeruciating pain of
the ligature had caused the trouble
The band was renewed and Tom was

Chinese Discovered America.

Harper g. Bros. have announced that
their new Encyclopedia of United
States History covers the history of our
country from ass A. d. to 1902. Some
of their correspondents have been puz-
zled by the first date, 45S. and have writ
ten TO enquire what portion of American
history was begun at that remote period.
This is a natural enquiry, as many peo-
pie are not aware of the well-authenti-
Gated early voyages of Buddhist priests,
made by them in their pious efforts to
obey the command of Buddha and spread
his gospel over all lands. AS the route
from Asia to America, along the Kurile
and Aleutian Islands to Alaska. is OBJ
viously practical one, 1t is easy to be-
lieve the records of early Chinese his
torical documents which describe such
journey. especially as these documents
are confirmed by the constantly discov
cred wonders of American antiquities. A
Chinese Buddhist missionary, Hui Shen, of
Cabul, has left a narrative in Chinese
history of his voyage to the land of Flu
sang, the name by which it appears that
America was known to the Chinese. An
interesting account of Hui Shen is found
in the Encyclopedia, contributed by the
famous Orientalist, Prof. John Fryer. of
the University of California, who has
made official translations of innumerable
Chinese documents.

The Lewis and Clark Journals.

Most important of all early explora ton
of the Western States was the Lewis and
Clark expedition of 1S04-1SO5. This was
the first scientific expedition across the
continent. The explorers followed the
course of the Missouri to its cour:e and
then descended the Columbia, returning
by the same general route.
Extracts from their journals were pub
lished in various forms, as official docu-
ments and as more popular compilations,
the most important contemporary work
being the two volumes published in Ihila-
delphia in 1914. This. which has always
been considered the best edition CO the
Lewis and Clark Travels - was, according
to the title page, prepared for the press
by Paul Allen" though it is known that
the book was prepared under the direc-
ton of Nicholas Biddle. As matter of
fact, however, these volumes do not con-
tain the journals themselves, but only a
much garbled and condensed version. The
complete journals have never been
printed.

in existence. belonging to the American

certain results, but even such a favorite
OF fcrtnue is subject to the despotic humor
of hrelings, as was proved on Satur-
day night of recent date when the woman
IN question gave large theatre party.
The order was given to the house
keeper for an elaborate supper of twenty
four covers after the play. The company
was distinguished one, and was conveyed
from the theatre to the residence of the
hostess in automobiles.
Arriving at the house. the usually mo-
Bile face of the butler was expressive
of CONSERVATION, and an atmosphere of
worriment was afoat. II rose above the
scent Of burning tapers in the Turkish
room; descended like a London fog upon
the hostess and her social secretary.
The guests. especially the men, braced
themselves for a feast of Autolycus. The
secretary soon perceived a flutter Of
apron strings behind a portiere, and was
summoned hastily to an executive ses-
sion of domestic wheelspokes in the
pantry.
The housekeeper, the maids. the men in
liveres. all spoke at once ana the in
forma ton was elected that the great
French cook had locked up her domain
and decamped with the keys vowing that
after an entire week of company cooking
she had struck at the Saturday night sup
per. The second cook was powerless, and
though the diningroom was rich in prepar-
alton. there was nothing forthcoming in
the way of gastronomic enjoyment save
the light and airy adjuncts to the feast
1t was blow. but it had its humorous
side and general disappointment was
washed down with the contents of many
bottles.
When the secretary told me about il a
few days later. 1 put 10 him the usual
feminine question, And what happened
afterwards" "Oh, nothing" said he.
THE cook returned on Sunday and nobody
dared say very much for fear she might
leave for good. You see such a culinary
artist is bound to rule the roost. I be-
lieve her salary was raised and her re-
sponsibilities lightened. Sort of re-
turn d-for-evil policy. We could not
part company with the best private cook
in Washington, you know"

racy. Such a result was easily to be ex-
! pected on account of the character of the
law concerning the franchise. AS house
holders and landed proprietors only are
admitted to have vote. and the tenants
excluded, no wonder that the big mer-
chants have taken the upper hand in the
management of city affairs.

the workingman take a due share in the
management of local affairs, but everyone

strictions are, at least in Europe, no.

local self government. Political franchise

! granted than the right of voting for a
county or municipal council. All demands
of this sort meet with systematic refusal
under the old and fallacious pretext that
| proprietOrs alone are interested in the
well-being of the province, district or
| town. But if such is the case If we cannot
introduce at once. and nowhere less than
in Russia the working class into the cita-

The mistakes made by the Russian Gov
eminent in Poland receive considerable
attention, and among these is, in the au
thor's opinion, the Draconian system of
legislation against the Polish language
and creed.
On the whole, the tone of the book is
critical rather than Iaudatory, particular
ly of reform movements. NJ. Kovalevsky
is of the opinion that some of the reforms
of Alexander II brought about the very
results which he wished to avoid. He
says:
Thinking that all theories were good
only to bring them into trouble, many
of them 1.-THE professorsl carefully elm

the students generally required from

lated into Russian, and freely circulat-
ing in the vast Empire of the Car on
account of not attacking directly its in
terror policy. Notice that the
students are prevented by law from or
ganizing any corporations. Being in this
way hindered from occupying themselves
with their own interests, they had no
other choice but to apply the theories
they had borrowed from abroad to the
yet shapeless mass of workingmen, re-
cent emigrants from their villages. There
