First Briton in India.

The first Englishman who is known
for certain to have gone out to India
was. according to recent correspon-
dent in an Indian paper, a certain
Thomas Stephens. member of we'll
to-do Wiltshire family and an Oxonian
who landed somewhere near Goa about
the year 1879. and spent forty years in
Jesuit missionary work in Goa and the
neighborhood. Stephens not only sue
ceeded in mastering Marathi and Kon-
kani. which were the languages spoken
by the majority of the people on the
west coast. but left behind him among
other works in Marathi of literary
merit the "Purana," an epic; and it is
in his capacity as the author of this
that Stephens name is best known
among the West Coast inhabitants.
The poem contains over 1000
strophes of four lines each. 1t mar
rates in lofty style the events that
led up to the establishment of the
Christian religion, and from the crea-
tion to the ascension of our Lord. who
figures as the hero of the epic. A
new edition of the "Purana" is to be
published in Mangalore. no printed
copy of the work being now available.

AN IMPRISONED CAT.
In New York City. Freed by Cow
boys lariat.

pOy . IdTidt
After nearly two years imprison-
ment between brick walls four stories
..sh and only little more than three
Inches apart. a cat has been rescued
by means of lariat. The feline
dropped into the crevice when it was
only a few weeks old and has been
there ever since-fed and cared for by
families residing In the buildings.
The prison which 1t occupied so
long is between two buildings in East
Fourth street. The crevice is closed
front and back, and even closed partly
on the top by tin roofing.
Efforts which the kitten made again
and again during the early days Of its
Imprisonment to climb up these slip
perry walls. only to fall back. were
watched with sympathy by the neigh
bors and they became divided into fac
tions-those who thought that the kit
ten ought to be killed and relieved of
IT'S misery. and those who held that
while there was life there was hope.
The latter fed the cat and gave 1t
water by means OF a long string Dis
contented neighbors many times threw
chunks of poisoned liver but the
animal never touched it. Meanwhile
the cat grew and every effort was
made to release 1t. but without sue
cess.
few days ago the story became
generally known and came to the no.
tice of an excowboy who. with an old
lariat. soon dragged the cat from its
prison. thus removing source of
much worry to the Society for Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals.
