America Has q New Paper of a Novel
Kind.
The first Arabic newspaper on the
western continent has begun its weekly
issue from its Office at AZ Pearl street,
New York, and its name is The Kawkab
America, which means HStar of Amer
lea. There is no such paper in Europe
or in any other country where Aryan
tongues prevail, yet, strange to say, The
Kawkab has large constituency al
ready assured.
It is surprise and freshens ones
impression that New York is truly cos
mopolitan, to learn that there are in
that city 1000 Arabs, Syrians, Persians
and others whose written language is
Arabic In both Americas there are,
says The Kawkab, about $50 900 and in
all the world s70,00O,oO 1t will be
edited and published by Mr.. N. J. Ar
beely, interpreter in the bureau of i'm
migration, and his brother, DR.. A. j.
Arbeely, and will be not only the organ
OF all readers of Arabic in America, but
a medium of spreading information
about them and the United States among
their congeners in Asia and Africa.

Some Russian "conveniences."

A person living in Russia cannot just
ly complain of ennui, for there a child
ten years of age may only go from home
to school with a passport. Servants and
peasants cannot go away from where
they live without passport. A gentle
man residing at st. Petersburg or Mos
cow cannot receive the visit Of friend
who remains many hours without mott
flying the police of his arrival. The
porters OF all houses are compelled to
make returns of the arrival and depar-
ture Of strangers. And for every one of
the above passports charge is made Of
some kind. AS for foreigners, the solic-
itude of the authorities for their stcom-
fort" is really touching. They are
scarcely allowed to breathe without pass
ports, for which fees are asked.

He Gave Dancing Lessons.

agent of the Southern Pacific railway al
Santa Clara ought to get ahead if there
is any merit i'll enterprise and the util-
ization of acquired talents. Passengers
complained that the waiting room at
the depot was always closed. Investi-
cation showed that the agent had a
piano in the ladies' waiting room and
had been giving dancing lessons in the
afternoons and evenings. To have out
siders in the rooms might have inter-
fered with his pupils, SO he kept the
doors locked. That passengers had no.
where to sit down didn't worry him.
The officials closed the dancing school
very suddenly, but had not the heart to

The Cotton Picker.

den, Mass, in an interview, saws of it:

ton, but since that time it has been i'm
possible. No man can hire labor to
raise cotton at a profit, If he ownsland
he had better let it lie idle, for then he
will only lose interest and taxes. If he
hires labor to raise cotton he will lose
more. The great cost of picking by
hand is the principal cause of this con-
dition. never believed it could be
picked by machine. A few weeks ago
a personal friend, merchant doing
business on fremont Street, said to me:
| have been investigating the Cotton
Picker, and believe it to be good thing,
and propose to invest in its stock, but
before doing so would like your opinion,
as you know all about cotton-raising
and picking l told him to let it alone,
as | considered it an impossibility for
any machine to pick cotton. He
replied: Il don't want that kind of adj
vice; what | do want is your advice
after you have seen the machine and
examined the evidence of its value
told him that l thought it would be
awaste of time, as was quite positive it
could not do what was claimed for it.
AS he insisted, did go and see it, and, to
my surprise, saw a machine that I
should know would pick cotton from the
field, even if there was no other evidence
than sight of its mechanical construc-
ton. But that other evidence is album
dant and conclusive. l returned and
told my friend that / was sure it was all
right, that it was the greatest invention
OF this or any other age, and that as an
investment it could not fail to be verv
profitable = far better than anything else
l know Of. Of course, he had to laugh
a little at my sudden conversion, and I
think he had right to. / am now adj

pert says that Italian prunes grown in
the Willamette valley are superior to
thoseof Italy. The climate, he declares,

is almost discouraging to be hit in the
nose fifty times in quick succession or
on the mouth. In my second battle
with Hall he protected his face. He
had learned thing or two, and l then
aimed for his stomach. 1t took Just five
rounds of that kind of hitting to finish
him. Billy Mccarthy made good bat

that there is everything in proper sys-

never knows where he is going to get

hit.
The good fighter must know how to
apply every kind of blow the moment
his eye catches the real intention of
feinting opponent. With Maher l also
found the stop and cross counter to
give cross counter very effective.
With Hall, again, one of my good
blows was what is known as the right
hand body blow.
Dempsey's clever work compelled me
to be on the most careful guard and l
''piyoted" out of position and got in on
the turn very effectively several times.
The shift from one position to another

Charley Mitchell is a very clever
boxer, but he would stand no show
whatever with Sullivan or Corbett As
to Frank Slavin, while good man and
a good fighter, do not think he is ex-

In fact, he is just the kind of fighter
Sullivan could knock out easily, for
he'd come to him. Corbett is a thou
