FOndneSS for Dogs

The particular fondness of Ellen
Glasgow, the author, is for dogs. She
loves them with a devotion which is
delightful'to her friends and the dogs.
She has one pet, a terrier named
Joy" who is her constant companion
except upon the occasions when she
wants to write
Joy hates literary work. When he
finds his mistress writing he drags at
her sleeve with his sharp teeth till
he makes her stop. She is too fond
of him to whip him, but when he be-
comes too strenuous in his objections
1t is necessary to remove him from
the room.
Last summer Miss Glasgow went
on an automobile trip through Nor
mandy and Brittany. All the, motor
cars abroad, according to her, seem
to make a business of killing dogs.
Miss Glasgow decided that her trip
should not be attended with dog
bloodshed and armed herself with a
long whip. With this she attracted
the attention of the dogs, and so kept
them from the front of her carriage.
Il think" she said, that l must
have saved the life Of at least a thou
sand dogs during the trip"

Americans Decorated
BY the .Mik0d0

In pursuance of his policy of warm
friendship towards America, the EN-
peror Mutsuhito of Japan has con-
ferred decorations upon several
Americans who have rendered him
service or displayed particular inter
est in Japanese affairs.
Mr. Durham White Stevens, who
was at one time secretary of the
United States Legation at Toxic, and
is now honorary counsellor of the
Japanese Legation at Washington, is
entitled to wear the third class of the
Order of the Rising Sun, the second
class OF the same order, and the sec
ond class of the Order of the Sacred
Treasure.
The Rev. Merriman Colbert Harris,
who was formerly one of the most
distinguished American missionaries
in japan, and is now in charge Of a
Japanese mission at San Francisco,
received the fourth class of the Order
Of the Sacred Treasure from the
Mikado, who, although himself a
Shintoist, greatly admired the phi1an-
thropic work of the Christian mis-
sionary.
Professor George Trumbull, form
erly a professor at Yale and now, per-
haps, the most widely known Of the

ties of Japan, has the third class Of
the Order of the Rising Sun The
same decoration was conferred upon
the Hon. Alfred J. OStheimer, Hon
orary japanese Consul at Philadel-
phia, when he visited Japan some
years ago.
The Fifth Order of the Double
Light Rising Sun-a much-coveted
decoration-was recently bestowed on
Mr.. Joseph Marshall Wade, a promi-
nent business man of Boston, who
has become we'll known in Japan by
his muniicent patronage of Japanese
art.

THE original meaning of the
name Drake is a leader of
= men.
1t is derived from the Latin
Drago, or Draco, and Roman STAN
dard bearers were always called
Draconarii.
The Romans got the name from the
Greeks. among whom it was found as
early as 600 B. c., when Draco, the
celebrated Athenian legislator, drew
up the code of laws for the govern
ment of the people which bore his
name. lie Drak was the old Gaelic
form of this name.
Soon after the conquest Of Wessex
by the Saxons, a family or clan, called
Drago, took possession of an old Ro-
man encampment in Devon county,
which became known as Mt. Drake.
From this family all of the name
are probably descended
Six estates are mentioned in Domes-
day book as owned by the family. One
of the principal homes was Musbury
Castle on Mt. Drake, with its church
and mortuary chapel, which was final
ly heightened into an aisle called
Drake Aisle" which the family with
their retainers and servants ALWAYS
occupied. This was in the reign of
Charles l. The rector Of the church
at that time was named Drake, and
all, or nearly all, of the 100 inhabitants
of the town of Musbury were of this
name, or had married into the Drake
family

man, Prince Esper Esnerovitch Ukh-
tomski. abe Prince accompanied the
Czar-tten Czarevitch-on his trip to
the Far East in b8oo-oI, and ever since
then has welded great influence over
Russia's Far Eastern policy. He has
remarkable knowledge Of the Chin
csc character, and, although holding
no official position, has negotiated
most successfully many times with the
Empress Dowager and the Pekin Off
Gals. Concessions which the official
Russian diplomatists failed to obtain
were secured by Prince Ukhtomski
with ease, and he even succeeded in
inducing Wall Street to invest fifty
million dollars in Russian bonds when
he started the Russo Chinese Bank to
finance his Eastern Chinese Railway.
This bank has been described as
the greatest empire builder in the
Far East" 1t deserves the title.
Theoretically, it is a private enter
prise; practically, it is branch of the
Russian Ministry Of Finance, created
to provide for the development of
Manchuria.
Having got the concession and the
machinery for supplying the money to
develop it, Russia's next move was to

Where Latin Is Still Spoken.

In the central part of the Balkans,
far up in the mountains between Bull
garia, Servia and Turkey, there is a
community of mountaineers among
whom strangers seldom come. Dur
ing the ascendency of the Roman En-
pire a Roman colony was founded
here, and then forgotten on account OF
its remOteness. For the reason that
the descendants of those ancient colo
nists kAve never mixed with the peo-
pie abe 1t them, they retain their origi-
nal characteristics, even to the Ian
guage.
In several villages the Latin that
the peasants speak is so plain that
students of classic authors can I'M,

wealth. In this last resource alone
there was temptation enough for the
Russians. The Cars Ministry of
Ways of Communication says unctu-
ously in one Of its recent official pub
locations:
The mineral wealth Of Manchuria
is not yet fully explored, but accord
ing to certain data, it may be regarded
as very considerable. Coal-beds oc-
cur at many places along the line of
the railway, and principally on the
Liao-Tung Peninsula and throughout
the coast of the Yellow Sea. Iron,
silver, tin and gold are to be found on
the Khingan and also in the spurs of
the Chan-bo-shan ridge. The rece !.
explorations of the Liao-Tung Pc
ninsula ascertained the extraordinary
adriferous nature of the whole terri
tory. Gold has been found here in
gravel and veins. In this respect
special attention is due to the cnvirons

The Russian Government made over
the railroad concession to a semi
official company formed under the
title of the Eastern Chinese Railway
Company" by that very remarkable

artisans every voyage. The railway
route was divided into twenty-five
sections and work was started on all
OF them at once. Not only the chief
engineers and surveyors, but all the
blacksmiths, gang foremen, store
keepers and other humber EMPLOYEES
came from Russia An idea of the
size of the staff may be gathered from
that tact that no fewer than one hun
dred doctors were sent out from St.
Petersburg to look after their health.
The common laborers, to the number
Eof 100000, were Chinese.
In the following year, 1893, the
scope OF the enterprise increased
enormously. The Chinese Govern
ment leased Port Arthur, Talienwan,
and surrounding territory on the Lao
lung Peninsula to Russia for period
OF twenty-five years; and granted per
mission to continue the construction
OF the railway from the Manchurian
main line to those ports. Thus, there
were two lines to build instead Of
one; and the Gar decided that not
only must Port Arthur be made
ver1table Gibraltar, but Talienwan
must be turned into a second Odessa
by the creation of the great city of
Dalny almost III a night.
he force of workers was increased
and the work pushed on with feverish
energy, for it was obviously desirable
to get the railway completed and the
towns built and fortified before Rus

The Boxer rising broke out in the
summer Of 1000, and spread like wild
fire all through Manchuria. The Rus
sian engineers and workmen had to
flee for their lives to Port Arthur, the
Irans-Baikal and Ussuri provinces,
and other points Of safety. Clearly, it
was Russia's duty to protect the lives
OF her subjects. Five army divisions
were immediately dispatched into
Manchuria at different points. Some

HOW the Russians
Generate Their Icon

The veneration with which the Rus
sian regards the icon, or sacred image,
of his particular saint, is a survival
of an ancient belief in the efficacy of
symbols.
For the most part these icons are
rough paintings upon wood, though
some of them are works of art by the
best of the Russian and Greek paint
ers.
After the painting is finished it is
covered with a screen Of silver or gilt,
with openings through which only the
hands and face of the saint are visible.
This silver is often beautifully en-
graved and mounted with precious
stones.
In the Greek churches of Russia a
great deal of the n1agnihcence of the
decoration is due to thousands of
these images which hang upon the
walls.
In some of the churches the decora-
ton is so splendid that even St.
Peters in Rome seems cold in COM
parison.
In the outlying districts the priests
still maintain a vigorous trade in these
images. either selling them to the
Pensioners, or renting them for a
consideration, which varies with the
supposed efficacy of the icon, or the
ability of the parishioner to pay.
In the home the icon receives first
consideration from the devout visitor
Upon entering a house the stranger
seeks out the special icon of the es-
adjustment, makes his prayer before
it, and then turns to greet the host or
hostess.
Innumerable legends are current as
TO the wonderful cures wrought by
these images, and by the lower classes
they are prayed to regularly in order
that he who owns or rents the icon
may be rid of his enemies, or that
some other miracle may be perform
ed in his favor.

Japan Is the Real 'To-Morrow Land

In the countries over which Spain
held rule the favorite word of the
people is "manana," meaning to-
morrow, and in those countries to-
morrow answers just as we'll as to-
day. But even in these countries there
is nothing which compares with the
Japanese disregard for time
The Bible says, "Yet a little more
sleep, yet little more slumber, yet a
little more folding of the hands in
rest" In Japan the traveller finds the
phrase, "a little more tea, one more
smoke and the folding of the legs to
sit"
Japan is, under ordinary conditions,
the Land of Tomorrow When the
time comes to act quickly, she is the
Land of Instant Movement. She
strikes quickly, and, as an American
naval officer said the other day, "that
is why Japan has made it understood
that she is going to carry on this wal
as mistress of the Eastern Seas"

knight. She further honored him BY
dining aboard his ship when he re-
turned to England after his triumph
in Cadiz harbor, where he destroyed
the 100 ships which had been destined
for the overthrow of England.
Even as long ago as the sixteenth
century, although millions" was not
the familiar term that it is now, one
of the Spanish ships captured by
Drake in South American waters was
laden with gold, silver and precious
stones to the value of 100000.
Numerous attempts have been made
at different times by heirs Of the great
navigator to recover some of his vast
fortune. AS he had eleven brothers

shire, England, in 1855, came to the
New World about the middle of the
century and settled in Massachusetts.
The frequency with which the name
Drake appears in Colonial land deeds
and war records shows that the fam
lily took active part in the affairs
Of their respective towns.
In the Massachusetts State ar
chlves, in Boston, are preserved the
original muster rolls Of companies
raised in Massachusetts for service in
the Revolution. From these rolls it
appears that many members of this
family took part. 1t was represented
at the Lexington Alarm" April 10,
I775, by eighteen mint men," and
seventeen men are on the Goat
Rolls" for service at Bunker Hill.
Four names of brakes are on the
Ticonderoga Rolls.
Abraham Drake, who served as
captain of horse in the French War,
and was at the Battle of Lexington,
attended several councils called by
Washington.
The Drake arms are all alike. al

writer before he attained his present

He graduated from the University
of California, his native State. and
then went to Europe and studied at
the Universities of Berlin, Heidelberg,
Leipzig and France, and at the Brit
ish Museum. He returned to the
United States, hoping to make sue
cess of literary work.
"Harper's Magazine" accepted a
short story from him, and then for
two years he wrote and wrote with
out getting a single article or story
taken by magazine. For long
time he vainly sought employment
from the New York newspapers, and
at last secured a position on the
Evening Post" on space In the
first week he only earned $I.75, but
after that, to use his own words, he
hustled to beat the band.' and be-
came well known as Wall street and
police reporter
In time he was promoted to the as
sistant city editorship Of the POST
and the city editorship of the Com
mercial Advertiser" In the fall OF
1901 he was made managing editor of
"McClure's Magazine" for which he
had already done lot of good work.
Two years later S. S. Mcclure gave
him rowing commission to travel
about the country, see people and
things, and get new ideas. In that
manner his series Of articles on "The
Shame of the Cities" originated.

hen came the war between Japan
and China. Russia saved the latter
country from the worst consequences
OF defeat by tearing up the Treaty Of
Sh1monosekl IN 1895 and making Japan
give back Port Arthur and the con
quered LiaOTung Peninsula. Clear
ly, the psychological moment had
come to insert the thin end of the
Russian wedge in Manchuria bv an
appeal to Chinese gratitude. 1t is
not probable that the Chinese felt that
sentiment very keenly, for, with Rus
STA hemming in their Manchurian
provinces on the west, north and east,
and betraying a restless, aggressive
imperialism, they ndst have been ap-
trehensive of the future
