Two SYRIANs Who LIVE IN TENNESSEE. -
Among the crowds of visitors at the White
House on a recent OCCASION the most notice.
able were two naturalized Syrians. dressed in
their native costume, including the red fez
cap. They we're father and son, and were
announced as "Yusef Awad Arbaly" and
''Nazheet Arbaly." They came to receive
the Presidents salutation and to ask his aid in
their effort to secure from the Mohammedan
Government of Damascus the little sum of
$4,000, an Indebtedness created in the shape
OF forced loan twenty years ago. In both
missions they were successful. Yusef is a
resident of Tennessee, and is an honored cit
izen of Maryville. He brings with him the
strongest testimonials from the patriarchs of
the Greek Church and the Protestant mission
aries in Syria For many years he ranked as
one of the most learned Syrians in Damascus,
and to his labors many of our American mis-
sionaries are indebted for their skill in the
Arabic tongue. In 1861 he, with other Chris
tians, was driven from Damascus by the
Mohammedans, who murdered some 5000
Jews und Christians and forced those who es-
capped the slaughter to flee to places of ref
uge. Yusef hid for three days in hole in
the walls Of his house, and then succeeded in
reaching the seashore. Three years ago he
came with his wife and six children to Amer
lea, and the mild climate of Tennessee per-
suaded him to make his home amid its hills.
His wife soon died, but the patriarch has an
family of six sons. Nazbeet, who
accompanies his father, is teacher by pro-
fession, and very handsome and learned
young man, in his 21st year. He speaks
huently four langusges-the Arabic, English,
French and German. He is also good
Greek and Latin scholar. Several of the
sons are Presbyterians, and one member of
the Society of Friends. All in all they are
far above the average American in education,
intellectual power and gentlemanly deport-
ment

"A case of intermarriage between Chi

Mrs Era H. Lee, is attracting much, atten-
ton in Wyoming Territory, The ceremony

Mr.. and Mrs Lee Chin have been indicted

Illinois has Just placed a stringent act re-
lating to deadly weapons on the statute-book,
prohibiting the sale, gift loan or barter of
any deadly weapon capable of concealment
on the person TO any minor, except by pa
rent, guardian or employer of the minor, re-
quiring all dealers in such weapons TO keep a
complete registry of their sales, specifying

capital and skill in California. In 1880 the
state produced 10, 900, 600 gallons of wine,
45O 900 gallons of brandy, raisins to the val
ue of 100000 and grapes for table use to
the value of $3.50, 600. The total yield from
the culture of the grape amounted to SO, 500,-
600. Over 10000 acres were planted in
grape vines also, and it is said that this year
20, 900 acres will be added. Besides the land
already used for grape culture, there are
over 10, 900 acres of unsurveyed land in Cali
fornia suitable for this purpose. Over $780,
OO0, 900 are now said to be invested in grape
lands and wine making on the Pacific coast
John Burroughs experiment in introduo
ing English skylarks into this country is not
a success. He writes to the Forest and Stream
that two of the seven he imported died soon
after arrival from the effects of lice, and that
the FIVE which he liberated have disappeared.
He says he thinks that all efforts to introduce
the larls will fail. The birds become dispegs-
ed and lost in our vast territory. The only
way likely to succeed would be to liberate the
birds ON some island of our coast, where the
climate would be more like that of Britain
say Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. The
birds would not be so apt 10 lose each other,
and would probably plant q colony, from
which in time they would spread to the main
land.

STORM AT THE SIGNAL STATION, Mt. WASH
NGToN.-Noticing that the sides of the sum-
init were strewed with boards, beams and de-
bris of all sorts, my guide explained that what
saw was the result of the great January gale,
which had demolished the large shed used as
an engine-house, scattering the loose frag-
ments far and wide begged him to give
me his recollection of it.
During the forenoon preceding the gale
we observed nothing very unusual but the
clouds kept sinking and sinking until the
summit was quite above them. Late in the
afternoon my comrade, Sergeant M, came
to where l was lying abed sick, and said,

"Our united efforts were hardly equal to
closing the storm shutters from the inside,
but we finally succeeded, though the lights
went out when the wind came in, and We

He rose to show me how the shutters, of
thick oak, were first secured by an iron bar,
and secondly by strong wooden buttons firmly
screwed in the window. frame

Now and then man refuses to subscribe
for local paper because he can get a city
weekly 80 much cheaper. If this same man
should take his weekly and the daily editions
of the. same paper and compare them, he
would soon find out why the city weekly is
cheaper. He would find the same editorials,
the same telegraphic news, the same local
news, and not SO many advertisements. Thus
the cost of composition of new matter is saw
ed, and the only expenseis for paper and press
work. Now great part of the telegraphic and
local news is given in detail in the daily, the
minute particularsare fully related, particulars
that the country reader cares almost nothing
about. But these are put in to make cheap
paper and fill up. In the weekly wholly pub
lished in the country, the subscriber gets all
the items of local Importance that he is inter
ested in, in detail, and the news of the world
boiled down into readable shape. The aver
age man has no time to waste on the unim-
portant particulars of fire in Dublin or q
shooting affray in Oregon, but in his cheap
city weekly he will get this and have to read
over an acre to ges what his country weekly
would give him in five rods. 1t is hurrying
age, and that which will give the most for the
least effort is the cheapest in the end.

GOLD ON RUSSIAN CHURoHEs. st is a curl
GUS fact that Russia, one of the poorest of
civilized countries, makes greater parade of
wealth in one respect than any other Euro
pean state. The domes of all the great
churches in st. Petersburg, Moscow, and 9TH
er large towns are plated with gold nearly
one-quarter of an inch thick. The new
Church of the Savior, dedicated and opened
in Moscow last August, represents value of
fully SIS, 200, ,OO0 The Isaac Cathedral in
st. Petersburg may safely be credited with
at least thrice that amount. So strong, how
ever, is the old Slav belief in the inviolable
sanctity of ''holy places that, during count
less seasons of widespread and bitter distress,
no attempt has ever been made to plunder
the gold thus temptingly exposed. Indeed,
one of the finest churches in st. Petersburg
(the Kazan OathedraD owes its massive silver
shrine to a voluntary Offering Of the plunder
taken by the Cossacks in 1912.

The KANSAS MENNoNITEs.- largest
body of people in this country keeping them
selves separate from the rest of the popula-
ton are the Mennonites in Kansas. They are
German in language and customs, though
they came from Southern Russia. They un
dertook to establish village life in Kansas sim
liar to that which they had left in Europe, the
farms running off from the village in long,
narrow strips; but this plan was not found
practicable, and the farming is now done in
the ordinary American manner. Where the
land is owned in quarter sections, however,
four houses are built in the adjacent corners,
enabling the inhabitants to become near neigh
bors. AS rule the Mennonites are richer
than the average of Western farmers. They
are not communistic, as has been said, though
clannish, and opposed to mixing socially or in
business with the people around them.

thor's best style. Under the title, "a
Siberian Exile Eighty Years Ago, +"
the experience of the once famous Kot-
zebue in Siberia is entertainingly told, and
when taken in connection with a foot
note describing Siberia at the present
time, proves that the "horrOrs" of exile
to that country have been very much
exaggerated that the punishments in
fIcted by the government have not the
severity commonly sscribed to them, and
that the exiles are not perhaps one tenth
the number they are represented to be.
In fact, Siberia is shown to be the Bota-

needing the colonists sent thither as
much for their own good as for that of
the rest of the empire. Neither in Kot.

TEETH AS PRODUCERs OF NEAR SIGHT
EDNEss.-Dr. Sexton, leading biologist
of New York, thinks he has discovered
a connection between near sightedness,
impaired hearing and defective teeth +;
the teeth furnish the starting point for
the disorders affecting the other two or
gans. The fifth pair of nerves sup.
plies at once the teeth, the tissues of the
nose. those of the eye and ear, the in
teguments of the frontal and temporal
region, etc. A defective tooth produces
irritation of the whole region thus sup.
piled, and in fact often occasions severe
cases of neuralgia. Even when there is
no pain felt in the tooth it may yet be
the cause of grave disorder in the eye,
ear or temple. Dementia, it is claimed,
is sometimes due to a tooth having all
the appearance of sOundness to the I'M
professional eye.
