MOST CHINESE ]FABLES,
Point a wholesome )poral, nor is it
diflieult to see the application of
the foregoing. Another (p1111nt 11ttle
story illustrates the similarity of
the (11144080 mind to that of the
111@0 (nlig)lto11ed races, for it plays
the part of a satire on the perni-
einti8 habit of borrowing trouble.
\t here we talk' of two old women
mingling their tears on the bank of
a, sleep pool in inconsolable grief at
what plight have happened if little
1.'1'eddie, Nati Wien in there and 130071
drowned, the Chineee have the fol-
lowing : A certain rich old man of
the Ch'i :date gave his annual party
to commenterate bis birthday, and
iuyited all his sons- and grandsons
to grace the occasion. 1n the midst
of the jollilication5,, however, he ons
observed sitting apart, with au e.x-
p.ression of woo upon his face. Tieing
asked what was teo platter, he re-
plied ; "1 was only thinking what
trouble I should hero in inviting all
my guests when my 2001.11 birthday

The fable which is least likely to
rust for what of handling in Chinn
if1 one which gives in elenr fashion
1.140 advice : Never put faith in -a
r'enegade. In all countries renegades
should be handled( with a pair of

is e:Ipecial need for a strong fable to

J. W. Tyrrell's Report on e. Jot1x-
ney in 'an Unmapped
Region,
The C'antldlen Deperttnelt of the
Int aloe -has just published J. W.
'J'yrrell's report of his survey of the
wide region between Great Slave
Lake and Hudson's Day, across the
Barrett (;rounds, In this journey he
crossed an area of about 00,000
square miles to Lite north of Doo -
haunt Lake, that had never been
mapped till he brought home rich
material for this purpose,
Ile acc01np11s11ed 1,729 miles of
surveys, and in doing this ho and his
small Ptu•ty traveled 2,(100 miles
with sledges and canoes. lie fixed the
geographical position of mtiny hun-
dreds of points; obtained 200 p110-
tographs, the larger part of which
appear in the volume now publish-
ecl; discoverecl a river, hitherto un-
known, that. Is navigable for hun-
dreds of miles; and found the posi-
tion of the height of Land that sep-
arates the rivers flowing to the
Armee from those which run to
Hudson's P,ay.
It was a very notable journey, last-
ing from April to December, 1000,
involving considerable hardship and
the hardest hind of work, but it was
enjoyed by every man in the party.
There remain very few opportunities
to carry out exploratory work in
North America on so large a scale.

Tyrrell straight to Chesterfield In-
let, (110 long, narrow bit of the sea
th14tpenetrates flu' to the west.
About Ono !hundred and fifty years
ago two ships were sent from Eng-
land to try to discover the North-
west 1'as:lige to China.
After sailing across Nucleon's Slay
they found this deep inlet, up which
they pushed, believing that these wa-
ters would certainly carry them to
the Pacific Ocean. They ascended
about ono hundred miles, :when they
discovered that the tenter was grow-
ing fresh, and finally they proved
that it tuns only a deep narrow
bay; so They went back
VERY MUCH DISGUSTED.
The 'Height of Land, or water
parting between the rivers of the
Arctic and the Atlantic systems, is
not far east of Groat Slave Lake and
is only 1,23.1: feet above the sea at
the place where Tyrrell crossed it.
A greet deal of the cOuutry travers-
al was comparatively level. Series
of lakes were met extending in an
east and 8.3111 direction which great-
ly assisted the explorer, for travel
by water in his light canoes ons
easter then land traveling.
!n the photographs taken of tho
region neat' Great Slave Lake a
large amount er timber is seen. In
some places there wa1 timber of im-
portant size.
Ile tulle of a "nice grove of white
spruce timber containing trees of 10
and 12 inches diameter'." This was
the last timber of importance seen
on the journey cast, for this grove
is not far from the. Barret Lands.
Spruce and birch trees are the
chief timber in this far Northern re-
gion;
cgion; and where Ute timber ceases,

WHY PAT DID NOT VOTE.
A solicitor's clerk ons collecting
evidence of clerical intimidation of
voters in a certain constituency in
Ireland.
He had questioned many voters
without eliciting anything of much
importance, until 113 crone to au old
man who had not voted.
"And telly did you not vote? ask-
ed the clerk,
"\Feil, t11eu, ser," was the reply.
"It was all His ltivirence's doing."
"Ali, his reverence," said the
clerk, brightening up, "What did
he do to prevent you?"
"I was working in the yard," said
the old man "when h o suddenly
nl
Y
burst into it and chased me into the
barn, and Rept me there until it was
too late to vote,"
"And are you ready to swear that
his reverence forcibly prevented you
from voting?" asked 'the clerk,
"1 11)11, 801'," was the reply, "and
there are others who can swear to it,
too,"
"That's sufficient," said the clerk.
"I Have not time to go into par-
ticulars now; but there will be a
gentleman hero in a few days to
whom ,you can tell everything."
So important was old Pat's evi-
dence considered that the next day
