THE SCRIBE IN.PERsIA.
His Survival is Due to the Persian's
Keen Artistic Sense.

His Survival Is Due to the Fersinn
Keen Artistic Sense.
From the North American Review.
Few, probably, among the reading public
who are interested in Omar have ar con-
csption of the state of the book market or
of the manner in which literature is diff
fused in Persia. Some may picture to
themselves state of affairs similar to that
in Europe. with certain admtxture of
oriental slowness and lack of method !;
while others may suppose that Persia can
boast of no book market at all, beyond the
casual buying and selling of manuscripts.
Now. in some parts of the east. print
ing. bookselling and Journalism have--es-
pecially during the last ten or twenty
years-been developed to a comparatively
high degrees Both Constantinople and
Cairo possess excellent printing presses,
which are responsible for numberless books
and journals; nor are these two capitals
the only oriental towns which boast of a
printing press. Nevertheless, Persia is at
the present day entirely dependent upon
lithography for her native production of
books and journals-which are very rare
At the beginning of the present century
a press with movable types was set up in
Tabriz, at which a certain number of books
were printed. The effort, however, met
with no encouragement, and had shortly
afterward to be abandoned. The unpopu-
larity of type printing In Persia is due to
two principal causes; firstly, the straight
ness of the lines offends Persians artistic
sense; and secondly, in printed books the
character of the letters is entirely lost
The same cause which leads Persian to
esteem 80 highly great caligraphers makes
him deplore all absence of character in
type-printed book. What most delights him
Is well-written manuscript, and he takes
the same delight in the copyists work as
we take in the touch of an old master.
Failing this he contents himself with a
lithograph. which is usually the facsimile
of the writing of some fairly good scrioe,
and has at any rate. human element
about 1t.
1t Is hard for us to credit the vast amount
of attention that is paid to caligrapny In
the east, where men of learning devote
years to its requirement, and their best
days to making artistic copies of classical
works. Although this art Is dying out to
a certain extent, owing to the cheapnsss of
lithcgraphy, man may even to this day
In Persia become as famous for his writ
ing as a poet for his verses.

The Winter Session Expected to BE a
Most Important One.

Most Important One.
The winter session Of the German reich
stag. recently 1naugurated. marks the be-
ginning OF what will be perhaps the most
important legislative campaign since the
beginning of the empire, according to Con-
sui General Mason at Berlin, in a compre-
hensive report recently received at the De-
partment of State. Besides the discussion
of Germany's policy in respect to China, he
says, it is also expected that there will be
introduced during the year not only a new
schedule Of import duties. but the issue rs
to whether the several commercial treaties
with other nationa which expire by limi-
tation in 1903 shall be re-enacted, with
notifications, or abandoned at the demand
Of the extreme protectionists, or agrarian
party.
This latter controversy, says the consul
general is one which reaches down to the
foundations of German progress and pros
perity. and has divided public opinion into
two opposing campSsi which have entered
into the battlef WITH extra ordinary spirit
and determination. That German manu-
featuring Industries land commerce have
been powerfully faSored by the in
fiuence of the treaties. continues Mr. Ma
son. no one ventures s to dispute, but the
agrarians complain that the benefits Of the
liberal policy have Injured wholly to the ad-
vantage of the faduSfTial and mercantile
classes. leaving dthe farmers stranded In a
hopeless struggle against increasing COM
petition of food,4prodncts from countries
favored with cheapef and more fertile
lands.
On the other hand, the party favorable
to continuancafof Iha treaties holds that,
in view of the present enormous deyelop-
ment of Germansdnanhfactures and the in
creasing difficufey I'M finding markets for
German products in The face Of powerful
competition of Gertahp foreign countries,

the industries of the empire which the
farming interests constitute. 1t would not
be wise or safe to change Germany's fiscal
policy. and by abolishing the treaties and
increasing the duties on food materials
inc ur the danger of reprisals and tariff wars
in which the empire would be at a fatal
disadvantage. A number of signal victories
won by American firms recently in the
competition for various big contracts in
Germany-notably the capture Of a contract

hitherto enjoyed practical monopoly

after his departure In March last on his

he might be thwarted In some part of

he appeared all difficulties vanished The
proprietors of the lands between this place

of the President and for the great Depart

rising ground adjoining Hamburg, within
one mile of George-Town,anda about one and
a quarter from the houses of legislation
