OMAR KIAYYAM AS A BORE.

The really sad thing about Omar [
take to be this: He is becoming a kind
of shibboleth Of cheap couture; a short
cut to literary taste. Many enraged
Omarites know noting of Homer, and,
I fear, uncOmmonly little Of SOphOcles
poets than the AnglO-Per-
sian. There is no Homer dining club;
no Sophocles society; no eternal chat
ter about these poets. So much the
better, of course, but one must keep re
peating that passion for Omar does
not suffice for literary salvation. Long
ago Omar was a favorite of very few
persons. Mr.. John Addington Sy-
monds gave me a copy, nearly 80 years
ago, which someone had given to him,
and which l was to hand on to an
other, as [ did. I remember that he, or
a friend, was on board a ship in
which an American commercial travel
er was a fellOW-passenger He seemed
Indifferent to literature, but was heard
murmuring a quatrain Of F'itzgerald's,
which at once established a kind Of
freemasonry between him and the Eng
lish admirer. These were ''early
days" when the second edition, if not
the first, was cheap at the book stalls
Now we have Omars of all sorts and
sizes, plain and illustrated. In fact,
Omar is being made a bore, and, when
once scholars have submitted the old
pagan to the higher criticism, I hope

man or myth, for a while. Mr.. Miller
is to expose the Omar fraud, by both
internal and external evidence. Well
Wolf and his followers have tried to
expose 'the Homer fraud" yet the
"Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' have lost
nothing of their charm. To be sure
we can, I think, expose that exposure

Wages Not Raised.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-An absolute
denial was made by General Manager
Henderson that the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company had
increased its wages to the mine en-
pIoyes 10 per cent. The report was evil
IDENTIFY due to the company increasing
it's working hours from seven and a
half per day to nine This means, 3"
said Mr. Henderson, that the men are
making really about 20 per cent. more
money, but there is no change in the
rate Of wages except that the men are
working longer hours and consequently
are making more money. The rate,
however, remains the same. the Read
ing employees wages being based on a
sliding scale according as the price of
coal at the mines goes up or down.
This scale is adjusted monthly and any
reports as to the increase of pay is no
doubt due to the fact that our men are
working longer hours and are conse-
gently making more money"

SLEPT AMONG THE GODS.
How German Soldiers Bivouacked in
a Chinese Sacred Place.

\ letter recently received from a
German soldier describes military life
in China just after the kaiser had eff
fected lease Of a slice Of Chinese ter
ritOry for a German base of opera
tons. "One June morning" writes the
soldier, "Our company started upon
an exploration, heavily laden with
black bread and cartridges We passed
through two villages and then came to
the town Of Tsimo, where we took up
our quarters in a temple Of idols just
outside the town. 1t was full of gods
and we found them very useful as posts
and slung our hammocks on them.
The Chinese thronged in thickly and
gaped with establishment at the posi-
ton we had chosen for our sleeping
quarters. They evidently expected that
the gods would avenge the insult done
them by the German devils and would
destroy US all during the night. But
we slept famously, their deities not
even troubling US with bad dreams,
and started fresh for our next march
early in the morning"
1T is to be remembered that the in
cident happened before there was any
hint or anticipation of the late
Chinese barbarity to the German am
bassador, or to any other Europeans,
and that the German soldiers were not
marching across Kiautschou as the
enemies but as the civilizing friends
and allies Of the Chinese people
What would be said by our Berlin ex-
perts in the comparative scientific
study Of religions asks the Vorwarts,
if the Chinese kaiser were to lease a
province of Germany and his soldiers
to sling their hammocks to the figures
Of the Christian saints in our parish
churches? Does not the letter give US
a hint how it is that the common
Chinaman takes so barbarous a dis
like to his European civiIizers?'"

On the wall, with aid SO true:
Twas just like Jim to say: "'Twas !,

To shift the blame from weaker lad
Jim faltered not at lie.
Twas just like Jim when, in SiXty-one
There came the appeal to arms,
And the pleading voice of Peace was

By war and his rude alarms;
Twas just like Jim to march away
Tap of drums and music gay
Looking so handsome, so brave and

In his suit Of homespUn gray.
Twas just like Jim, that April day
When the broken and sulIen lines Of

Turned anon like a stag at bay
Rallied and fought then filed away:
Twas just like jim, say, to be the

On guard at the bridge when his COM

Firm and motionless, quaint and grim.

Alone he stood close by the bridge.
When Sheridan's troops rode over the
ridge
A yankee shout" a Rebel yell"
Three troopers from their saddles fell.
Fewer the Iivin moments grew
For Jim, but his aim was never more
true;
And when the foe the bridge had
gained
Not a ball in his cartridge box re-
NAMED;
But never a saber that squadron drew
They rode him down, those lines Of
blue,
At Appomattox they called the roll
But Jim answered not, his wayWard
soul
Had gone to God, to be judged by Him.
No surrender: All, that was like Jim.

New York, Sept 21.-Great excite
ment prevailed at the opening Of the
cotton exchange yesterday morning.
The English cables, instead Of coming
higher as was expected, reported a de-
cline. Selling became more active and
the opening call was at a decline OF
II to Is points. Selling was general
and at adYices generally bearish, and
the decline increased to 81 to 30
points. The weakness was increased
by reports Of unsettled southern mar
kets with spot buyers said to be re-
treating and English markets declin-
ing under pressure Of increasing offer
ings for nearby shipment, which were
emphasized by the withdrawal Of
American spinners from the spot
markets. At times the market was
very irregular, almost panicky. The
close was barely steady at a net de-
cline Of p to % points

CLUB LIFE IN CHINA.
Mandarins and Rich Men Congregate
for Social Pleasures.

Club life in China is not an innOva-
ton from the west. For centuries the
rich Chinaman has had his club, and
as a rule it is quite as elegant an af-
far as are the aristOCratic clubs of
mandarins and rich men with preten-
siOns to rank. Some have political
faint, some are merely social, but all
have one peculiar feature. This is
room or OratOry set strictly apart for
religious exercises. In the oratOry the
maeg of Chinese god is placed. From
time to time members of the club enter
the sanctuary to offer their devotions
Apparently it is no uncommon thing
at the beginning or successful ending
Of great enterpTise-such as, say, the
murder Of an enemy or the cOnsumma-
ton of a political conspiracy-to see
Chinaman hastenng from the secular
part of his club bearing a rich offer
ing or prayer for the god in the club
sanctuary.
He observes his devotions with a
gravity that bears witness to his sin
cerity. Some devout Cinnamon visit
the god the moment they enter the
club building and again PROSTATE
themselves the last thing before leav-
ing. The club god is not usually a
war divinity, but now, in the centers
where the boxers" hold sway undis-
turbed it is more than probable that
the boxers" god has been placed in all
the clubs

A PLAGUE OF TOADS.

A plague Of toads has descended on

can be done to mitigate the evil. AS
yet the vegetation has not suffered
from their inroads, but it is expected
that soon their appetites will develop.
The only remedy offered is that sug
gested by an old farmer: Get snakes
to eat them up" The toads have been
washed in great quantities into lie els
terms and wells, and soon the water in
them will be unfit for use.
