"J
HB3 ART OF THE VIENNA
GALLERIES," by David C.
Preyer. Eleventh In a series
of "The Art Galleries of Eu
rope," thin la fully as enter
taining and Instructive as any of Its
predecessors", and will be of more valu
perhaps, because the galleries of, Vienna
are teas Known than almost any or eu
rope. . In his preface, the author
touches upon this, saying: "The Vienna
ganeries or paintings are. with the ex
ceptlon of the Hermitage gallery in Bt
Petersburg, the least known of those
of Europe; but It may be said without
exaggeration that they are among the
most important. They are especially
ricn in the works, of masters not geiv
rally known to art lovers, but of edual
rank and often higher merit than those
Whose names are familiar.
"The wealth of these galleries may
be estimated when we consider that the
Imperial Museum shows over 2600
paintings; the Academy collection 1200:
the Liechtenstein over 800; the Czernln
,350; the Harrach almost 400; the
ohonbrunn 160. and the Lower Belve
dere gallery 100. or about 5500 nalnt.
, Inge In all. Many of these are price
la
less jewels.
He further says: "The older German
school, so difficult to appreciate be
cause its master works are distributed
over so many Germanlo museums, may
here be reviewed almost completely.
The famous Rubens gallery of the
Louvre is rivaled by a collection In the
Vienna Imperial Museum of almost 60
undoubted examples of the master's
work, In which he may be studied more
comprehensively than anywhere else."
From this the reader may infer how
Important the Vienna galleries really
are, and how necessary to a systematic
and thorough study of art they are.
No student could afford to be without
a knowledge of them. The student who
goes abroad will recognize this and
make use of It. but for the less fortu
nate, who have not the privilege of
personal Inspection, no better oppor
tunity could be presented for knowing
them than a closo and careful perusal
of Mr. Preyer's book.
He gives a brief history of the
growth of these galleries, which, like
many others, have been slow, exciting
wonder at every turn, at the marvel
ous vicissitudes which many of these
treasures have gone through, and still
survive.
Beginning with the Imperial Museum,
he gives a diagram of the floor plan,
arid then takes up the various nation
alities of the artist, beginning with
Italian paintings. This method fixes
the pictures and connects the artist
with thera at the same time, which is
of special benefits and quite necessary,
for many of the artists, as he says in
the preface, are comparatively un
known. Mr. Preyer gives not only a re
view of many of the paintings, but th.i
criticism of a connoisseur as well. Ho
has Illustrated IiIb work with about 50
riuegrauver reproductions of the paint
'Ings to be .found in these galleries,
which fairly well represents them.
The book Is elegantly bound, with the
Austrian coat of arms in colors for
cover design. L. C. Page & Co. Price

'Tomandor Walk," by Louis N. Parker.
While we have not had time to get
returns from the Christinas "best Bai
lers," this should be. If It Is not, on the
list when It does appear. Jt has many
points that should put It there; as a
holiday edition it is perfect in its cover
of yellow linen and pretty, quaint cover
design, its colored illustrations and in
imitable etchings which would assist
In carrying out the Illusion that Thack
eray wrote the book and Du Maurler Il
lustrated it.
Of the location of the story the au
thor says: "At that time it was a eharm-
n
g. quaint little crescnt of six very
mall red brick houses, close to the
Thames, facing due south, and with a
beautiful view across the river." Now,
vrn the utorv la finished, a romance de
velops in every house. Unlike the great
y flotion-humorlst, of whom he so much
Vrcmlnds ono In style and quiet humor,
r Mr. Parker does not Indulge In biting
nrrasm or a 1 m tfi rnmnanfl hop.Ir! re
forms by ridicule; but he does present
Ms men and women of 1805 much after
the manner of the Newcombs and Pen
dennlses. The book is full of delight
ful human nature In its simplest form,
but tinged with the passions that will
creep Into every Eden. The story has
a goodly number of characters, grave
and gay, sombre and bright, which
weave in and out among each other till
some times they remind one of a May
pole dance and particularly when the
"all's well and they live happy ever
after" time arrives, for there Is Just
plot enough to keep the reader, guessing
as to the ultimate design. As a whole
It is one of the most attractive books

"The Gift of Sleep" by. Bolton Hal I.
There Is nothing more interesting in
human experience than the mystery of
sleep perhaps because It is a mystery,
Those other things performed by tho
.human body, and necessary to its exist
ence, have been explained and the or
dinary child of 12 years can give a pret-
derlnlte idea or why we eat, tne pro-
ess oi aiKcsuon ana tne eiiecin cer
tain kinds of foods have upon the Dioort
and body cells, but scientists from the
beginning of time have vainly endeav
ored to solve for themselves the prob
lem of sleep without success, except In
a general way. But, like all other per
plexities of life, this, too, will be
brought nearer, If not quite to a defi
nite solution, and Mr. Hall's book is
one of the most promising steps toward
Hhis much desired result. He has mada
no guess work ln his treatise, but has
established wnat ne considers rename
premises and arguing from that, reaches
n logical and satisfactory conclusions.
The following might really be roe-
f Ognlsed as his starting point when he
' says: "We must view life as physical,
but not physical only; as mental, but
not mental only; as spiritual, but not
spiritual only." And In his arguments
he recognizee this .principle throughout.
and deals with eacn as it contributes
sto the gift of sleep, and nearlng the
close of the book he says: "Inquiry fn
' to the causes and the cure of sleepless
fness leads ui Inevitably to one compu
lsion; there must be .peace of mind and
I body In order to command the most
i refreshing sleep. , A man may not know
J correct -indeed, he may not know that
there are any theories about It, but, If
ka lives a moral physical life and is at
Ipeaot with the world, be is likely to
I sleep" well.'-- .' '- V' '
I To arrive at these conclusions, how

I a course of psychological, as well um
philosophical reasoning that is as de
lightful as.K is instructive, : ' ' .

Jean Webster, author of
"Just Patty."
the publishers of Mr. Hall's book sent
out a queationaire to persons selected
by classes. They began with a thous
and professors in order to get sugges
tions which might make the Investiga
tion more useful, but as yet no scien
tifically complete tabulation and study
of data has been made, but a later edi
tion will probably contain it.
Professor Edward Moffat weyer, of
Washington and Jefferson college, has
written a brief introduction in which
he pertinently says: "The cure of sleep
lessness has hitherto been left largely
to the physician, who Is not always a
specialist on that "-subject and who will
welcome a treatise that will enable his
patient to cooperate with his restora
tive measures."

"Just Patty," by Jean Webster. It is
seldom we find a second etory about
the same person as fascinating as the
first, but in "Just Patty" the author has
succeeded in putting In so much fun
and frolic and simple joy that it equals
if not excells "When Patty Went to
College." What this young person does
not think of in the way of mischief at
that most select of boarding schools, St.
Ursula's, Isn't worth thinking of, yet
as she herself puts it. "It isn't as
though we were nwfully bad last year,
but our badness was sort of conspicu
ous." No matter what she does, she Is
always wholesome and honest when
fairly caught in a scrape. It is Just
the kind of a book to bring pleasure and
profit to readers, old or young. Tho

"At the Age of Eve," by Kate Trimble
Sharber. After reading "The Annals of
Ann" it is only natural that we should
wish to know more of the charmingly
naive and romantic little heroine who
opened the pages of her most sacred
diary for our inspection. This is a con
tinuation of her life, and our only re
gret -Is, that it Is too sentimental and

boys who enjoyed the free, fresh and
simple story of Ann, while she was a
little girl. This seems to be a glaring
fault with present day writers, for they
seem to forget that the children who
read the first story do not grow as fast
as the hero or heroine In the, book.
Mothers find It a great trial to deprive
their children of such continued stories
after having read the first part, and
yet such romance Is decidedly not the
right material for the juvenile reader.
Ann la quite as delightful In this second
volume as she was, in the first, and for
the adult reader It Is a treat in store.

FOR GREAT EVENT
Exhibition to Be Held in Port

Cats to Be in Glory.
By Claude L. Simpson
A revelation in cats! A panorama of
cats! Feline pets from the homes of
the rich and the poor. Perfect droves
of tabbies. Blue eyed and golden eyed,
long haired cats. Short haired cats
and cats without tails. Green eyed and
tortoise shelled cats. Shaded sliver and
cream or fawn long and short haired
cats. Cats, cats, cats!
All these, and more too hundreds of
cats will be exhibited at the second
annual show of the Oregon Cat club,
to be held In Meier & Frank's store Jan-
i uary 16, 17, 18. The event promises to
i he the most successful of the kind ever
attempted in Portland. Last year's big
turnout of folk who have a kindly feel
ing for thetcat has been an incentive to
extra efforts this year on the part of
the promoters of the show. Entries are
coming In rapidly from all parts of the
country. Middle western states will be
represented. Pacific coast states will
send their quota. Points In Oregon out
side of Portland will be "there."
Coming in Droves.
Cats will be coming into the dity in
a few days on trains and steamboats.
Some will be rapt In silk covers.
They will repose In regal style befitting
the social standing and wealth of their
owners. They will be handled with the
tenderest care by tho employes of the
trains and boats. Choicest morsels of
i'". " "h ""tW'Z T
i rooa wlil be given them. And the medl
cine chest with all its array of cat rem
edies from pills to lotions will be kept
handy in case of an emergency.
Cats which do not live In palaces or
sleep on perfumed cushions will not
come in gilded cages but they will come.
They will bring their appetites with
them. They will be satisfied with the
scraps from the butcher man, and they
will repose on the soft side of a board
with as much satisfaction as if they
were really "millionaires." Prizes are
what they are after. Sliver trophies,

The pampered long hatred cat. the
smoke colored champion, may purr of
the days of happiness he has unrnt on
i elder down beds: in staccato notes ha
peculiar way, of the occasional snatches
of pleasure he has got out of life. Oft
entimes he has gone days without a
square meal. Then, by a miracle, he
has feasted, not on a wishbone, but a
whole duck that he has been able to
filch from someone's pantry.
Sappy Tear for Tabby.
Among the large numbers of strays
that wlll be exhibited will be duly
qualified spokesmen who will acknowl
edge the grand work that kindly hearted
people have done for them. Cats that
were onco skinny, bedraggled, footsore
and hungry, wlll give eloquent testimony
of the fine treatment that has beeh ac
corded them through tho good offices
of the cat club and Oregon Humane so
oiety. Many of the outcasts have been
given good homes. Tuken from the al
ley when they were mere kittens, some
of these will be livlnsr examples of the
neglected feline. Their fat, sleek
bodies, bright eyes and renovated coats
wlll be ample proof to the spectators
that it pays to be kind to the home

This has indeed been a merry Christ
mas for the tramp cat. Santa Claus
has not overlooked the stray. Out at
Capitol Hill a refuge has been estab
lished. The place Is in charge of Mrs.
T. A. Short. The Humane society has
contributed a monthly sum for the sup
port of the home. Good homes for de
serving cats will be found by the care
taker. Care of Pets.
When the array of cats are assembled
on the entire fifth floor of tho Meier &
Frank store spectators will perhaps
marvel at the great care that has been
given ln making the pots comfortable,
while the exhibition lasts. Iarge clean
cages will ba built specially for the
felines. Distinctive decorations will be
hung up on the cages. Trophies that
have been won in past exhibitions will
be there in honor of their winners. The
cats will be fed on the most whole
some foods. Caretakers will be em
ployed to look out for tho wants of the
competitors. Each man will have 2
cats to look after. A competent veteri
narian will be on hand to seo that no
diseased cat shall enter the show. With
the Bpacious cages the cats will be en
abled to move about at leisure.
An experienced Judge wlll pass upon
the merits of the contenders. Absolute
fairness will be obsorved in the distri
bution of prizes.
The office of the Cat club will be
opened on the sixth floor of Meier &

years of age. They are very affection

Is turquoise blue. They have a variety
of cries. It is said they are very affec
tionate and even have been known to die
for the want of petting. 4 "Jack," how
ever, is nine years old, which Is cited
as an Indication that he has been well
treated. There Is a law In Slam that
prohibits their being taken out of that
country. Consequently but few of their
kind have found their way Into the
United '-tates. Their legs and paws
are small, but very strong. Their dis
position Is gentle.

A word about the cat: While a eat Is
not generally supposed to be as affec
tionate to Its master or mistress as the
dog, still many cases of feline attach
ment have been known, say the fanciers.
"Ono of the mysteries of the cat specie
Is Its marvelous Instinct and ability
of 'coming back,'" declares a scientist.
Question Is Puzzle.
"This question has been a puzzle to
many learned naturalists. A cat, be It
known, is greatly attached to Its home.
Unlike a dog, tabby wlll not follow Its
master away from the family habitat.
When once removed, although blind
folded, the cat has been known to find
its way back over a long distance. It
lias been contended recently that when
it Is being conveyed to a distance. It
wlll havg Its sense of smell ln full ex
ercise, and will by this means, take note
of the successive odors It encounters on
the way. That these will leave on its
mind a series of Images as distinct as
those we should receive by the sense
of sight; and that the recurrence of
these odors in their proper Inverse or
der every house, ditch, field and vll'
lags having Its own well marked Indi
viduality would make it an easy mat
ter for the animal In question to follow
tho identical route back, however many
turnings and cross roads It may have
followed."
cobI. The whole of this new route, from
Switzerland to Italy, has been bored
through limestone and granite rock and
travelers will now be able to go from
one valley to another ln 12 minutes. For
merly the Journey took as many hours.
Part of the work had to be carried
out amid intense heat. A great deal
of hot rock was met with, and the
Italian workmen were compelled to la

HEAD EXPEDtTlDtl
TO AFRICAN WILDS
Object of Dangerous Trip Is to
Secure Additional Natural
History Specimens for the
Smithsonian Institution.
(By the International News Service.) y '
Washington, Dec. 80. Childa Frlck.
the only son of Henry C. Frlck, of
Pittsburgh and Pride's Crossing, will
soon set sail from London at the head
of an expedition to Abyssinia for the
purpose of making natural history col
lections for the Smithsonian institu
tion. Toung Frick is widely known
about Boston.
When Colonel Roosevelt made his ex
tensive hunting trip through Africa,
Frlck followed close on his trail with
a caravan, and is said to have bagged
fully as much game as did the Roose
velt party. Most of the animals which
he shot or captured at that time he
presented to the Carnegie museum at
Pittsburgh. On his present trip the
young man will be accompanied ' by
Lieutenant Colonel Edgar A. Meatus, V.
8. A.,, retired, associate zoologist Of the
United States National museum, Mr.
Bllck, a friend, and a physician. -
Mr. Frlck plans to make as complete
a collection as possible of the animals
of the Abyssinian section. He and Mr.
Bllck will devote their time to the bis;
game, , both having- qualified as field
taxidermists after much study in re
lated subjects. Dr. Mearns will prepare
the birds for the National museum. It
will bo remembered that he accompanied
the Smithsonian expedition to Africa,
which was headed by Colonel Roosevelt.
To Pierce Dangerous Wilds.
Many native soldiers and guides wlll
be secured as soon as the party reaches
the outskirts of Abyssinia, for it is one
of the most dangerous parts of the Afri
can continent, the scarcity of food, lack
of water, hostile tribes and rampant
disease making the expedition a most
hazardous undertaking.
Both Mr. Frlck and Mr. Bllck have
had experience in exploration, although
not ln that particular locality. In Brit
ish East Africa, where the party will
also secure specimens, the experiences
of Dr. Mearns with the Roosevelt ex
pedition will stand them In good stead,
as the country Is contiguous to that
covered by the famous "Bwano TumbO'
trip of 1909-10.
The region of Ijike Rudolf, discov
ered as late as 1888 by Count Telekl,
and one of the wildest and most dan
gerous sections of the dark continent,
is to be covered by the expedition. It
is inhabited by the Hamatic people,
wholly uncivilized, yet Intellectually
superior to the average tribes of Africa.
The Samali, Oallas and Boranna tribes
will also be encountered. The principal
exploration of this country was made
ln 1897 by an expedition headed by A.
Donalson Smith, who sent a collection
of excellent specimens of the fauna of
the country to the British museum, .
where It is now on exhibition.
The party will sail from London to
den, Arabia, on the Gulf of Aden. Af
ter securing guides and an outfit the
party will cross the gulf and enter the
wilderness.
Arranging for barter Is one of the
interesting preliminaries. Oold and sil
ver have little value with the uncivil
ised tribes of Africa. An empty bottle
has a value far above its weight in gold.
Mirrors, cheap Jewelry, copper wire,
mechanical toys, and cloth printed ln
lurid colors will be much in demand.
Small sized bottles and flasks will be
taken along in great quantities as they
are used as ear ornaments by the sav
ages whom they will encounter.
