Compared with Jerusalem. Damascus
IL Partisan. The Jerusalem air presses
heavily with It's melanchdIypAM. Half
score Of sects make It, q rendezvous
for pillage or for mummefy,n and It's
memorials Of iwpeEIshab|s eyepts have
to be looked at through the dust of per-
ished dynasties. 1t Is mystic, solemn,
arcane. Damascus Is practical, posi-
tive and even merry. The wall Of Israel
sounds along the arid valleys Of Zion,
but Damascus sings q voluptuous carol
by means Of. it's ice-cool tabled river.
The tinkle Of it's bells mingles forever
with the gurgle of Its waters, and
above all you hear the silvery laughter
Of the Syrian girls and catch the
dancing humor Of their dark eyes
through their little wells. Jerusalem
has its austere character to sustain. Its
temples are tombs. Its weight of poig-
nant history keeps 1t grave. But in
Damascus YOU are nnder no o'0biigatIons
to the past that the present cannot
make you forget. Its innumerable shut
ties and armories call you back to the
bustling exigencies OF lifes The coffee
bazars defy melancholy. SO this
stranded city on the shores Of time

ster boiled down and filtered through
Carlyles "Sartor Resartus." He is a
succession of surprises He has as
many colors as chameleon, and he
puts on a new one every hour. His
private conversation is full of meat,
and when he talks every sentence
makes you think, and every word
weighs a pound. He is man Of
broad reading, and he draws his illus
trations from the antediluvian periods
of geology In one sentence, takes a
metaphor from famous English nov
elist for second, and in the third, like
as not, gives you bit of the latest
slang from the slums.
At first you are daZZled by this flow

by his pyrotechnic phrases, and you
give him no credit for his genius other
than that to the God who made him.
AS you go on, however, you find that
heis one OF the hardest workers in pub
lie life, and that the vast mental cap
ital which he has to-day has been
largely made up by the saving OF the
