To the Editor:
Leaving Hama we also left the pc
cullar Syrian villages to the north.
South OF Hama the villagers built their
houses with fiat roofs, like those In
naiestine, whereas those north built
lheir houses like Cones. These singular
structures look = like great domes or
Wlswams In the distance. Then they
are usually white. which makes them
'hlne out In the barren country. Most
ot the houses are so constructed that

finished on the Inside. according to
syrian fellah style, an architecture
peculiar to the country and Its people.
In the corners from the base II is often
square. and in other places OF the
house are built bins. so that when filled
with grain they can be easily tapped:
also shelves are built In the walls, so
mat convenience can be had without
using wood We occupied one, one
night, and found them to be about fit-
teen or eighteen feet high, and the
arched part ranged at from twenty to
thirty tiers of adobes, one tier being
placed Just a little inside the other, so

HEARD the other day that very rich and of
course highly cultured Jewess went to a fashionable
stationer and wished to some armoral crests for
her carriages and stationery. She was shown the
crests OF the regnng houses CT Europe Of which
designs were elaborate enough to suit her oriental
taste Finally the three plumes of the Prince of
Wales was shown to her, which she was about to
ndescendingly accept, when she noticed under the
plumes the words, "Ich diem" She turned to her
companion and said sotto voce, 'Ich habe ncmals
gedient' That ended the story of this ladys search
for family crest.-Hebrew Standard

Another Schnorrer promised dowry by a
banker, but his daughter died before her marriage.
Some time after her death the father called upon the

by her death?"
London's Ghetto was and is crowded So many
as forty-four people crowded on the average in
houses.
In some places" said Zangwill, -four families
occupied single room. Each family took corner
in the room. Jocular conversation among them
selves always along the line of their taking in
boarders."
certain kindly Jew in Chicago's Ghetto was an
officer OF a secret society which met each Thursday
night Finally his lodge changed the meeting night
to Friday. He then resigned his office. In explana-
ton he said:
well, when go to lodge as an officer must
carry my books. How could pass the synagogue
or go down Liberty street Friday night with my
books under my arm. No"

4 Quick Reply.

That quick wits notconfned to cities was proved
last spring by young woman who was rambling
along one of our roads,
She was dressed smartly; and when she met a
small bare-legged urchin carrying birds nest with
eggs in it, she did not hesitate to stop him.
you wicked boy p she said How could YOU
rob that nest? No doubt the poor mother is now
grieving for the loss of her eggs
"Oh, she don't care" said the boy, edging away
She's on your hat."-Caoe Ann Advertiser

Another lady rather impertinently asked him 4
one OF MS characters in THE Children of the Ghetto
was not himself. He evaded the question. leaving
though the impression that this character was not
taken from life
''Well," CALCULATED the woman. 1T wish r. oss,-a
you that am not hero worshippern
And madam" retorted Zangwil II am not a
hero" :
certain schnorrer (beggar) entertained at a
nome IN the Ghetto caught in the act of STEALING
snverspoon Hewas called upon for justification
OF his ofense, which he furnished in the foou,;no
manner:
II took the spoon violated the eighth com
mandment, which says that Thou shalt not steal
out II did not take the spoon violated the tenth
commandment, which says Thou shalt not covet ,
90 having one or the other Of the commandments to
break, thought might as well take the spoon"
AangWllian tribute to the virtues of his race
was to be found in his quotation from the lips of an
old Jewish father:
call my wife, not wife, but home"
Two good rabbis of the Ghetto were discussing
affairs OF the outside world, of which they knew little
One said, with sigh:
" What a rich man the Emperor of Russia must be.
he drinks tea out of lump Of sugar"
Both tea and sugar were precious articles in those
times and the idea that the Emperor could drink his
tea, not from cup, but from the hollow. in a lump
OF sugar, nightly impressed the good father of the
Ghetto
Yes said the one to whom he had spoken he
must have wealth, but would add to it by teaching
allttle Hebrew on the side which he cannot do"
schnorer was making his prayer to God In it
he asked:
pray you to send me 500, 900, and if you do
so will give $4,000 to the beggars but if you can
not do this send me $50, 900 and give the other
$4,000 to the beggars yourself"
