ECCLESIASTICAL ARABIC, SYRIAN IDIOM.
"Were to use the waters Of the sea for ink, the
armament for paper, to write a tribute of graf
itude my efforts would fall short of what is thy
due, o Washington"
Syriac, seem most compact, the Babylonian
and Assyrian most diffuse. In each of the
latter, four long lines, including about $50
characters, are necessary to express the
equivalent of two very short lines in Eng
lish; and as each Of the wedge shaped char
acters was made by pressing molding tool
upon the clay before it was baked it is evil
dent that writing was a serious business in
Assyria. Probably they did not make long
speeches. Cursive Arabic and Carshoony
(the secret or sacred writing Of the Maron-
ites) are remarkably compact, there being
some 200 lines and dots in space two inches
long and half an inch wide. In fact all forms
of the Arabic, and all the African and Asatic
notifications of it, look like a swarm of bees,
when held a little ways from the eye.
When we come to the Ethiopic, however,
we at once see that We are on another line;
for the old Ethiopic is supposed to be the
original Of the Ph9nician, Greek, Latin and
thence of the letters used by most Euro
peans. Here again we see the operation of
that mysterious law above referred to: All
the Orientals seem impelled by some internal
force to fine lines and dots and filmy tracery,
while the Europeans tend towards blocks and
squares and straight lines, each letter stand
ing out by itself with sort of defiant ag-
gressiveness. Similarly the old mining
shafts lately reopened in Spain are known to
be Roman il they are square, but Moorish il
they are round, and in place Of the massive

q, a general educational, school for boys. Il
will be under the management Of the Chris
tian Brothers, Of Chicago, Of whom Brother
Atchison, portrayed in this cut, is one of the
leading spirits.
The order was founded In the Seventeenth
century by Frere De La Sale, the presiding
priest Of the abbey Of Rheims, one of the
most ancient and most revered monastic in
situations of France. Here it was that kings
from time immemorial celebrated their &C
cession to the throne Here De La Sale, the
curate of this rich and famous parish, sud-
denly in 1880 sold out his ordinance, gave the
proceeds to charity and established the Chris
tian brotherhood, that survives in highly
developed form to this day.
De La Salles idea was solely to found O
college Of teachers-a school for the thorough
education of young men as teachers. The
Christian Brothers are thus the head of the
oldest normal school in the world. Since De
La Sale died the order which he organized
and set in action has expanded and estab-
hshed itself in every Christian country on
the globe.
