sxrIans stick to Their Ways.

TITS a remarkable thing said gray
haired man. how tenaeiously the syrians
in this country stick to their national
ways and customs. IN this, the syrians
differ greatly from the Armenians. who
are perhaps the most adaptable OF all the
orientals who come to America. The
Armenians assimilate easily. the ways Of
the people wherever they may be. The
syrians on the contrary form small colo
MES wherever several of them chance to
live in. the same town. and while they
adopt American dress they keep to their
own customs in religion. amusements and
habits of life. They rarely eat any meat
excepting mutton. although they are very
fond of and eat many fowls. They do not
care for or use many eggs, but are great
vegetable eaters. They almost uniyer-
sally boil their vegetables and generally
stuff them with a mixture of chopped
meat boiled rice and nuts highly sea-
soned This stuffing or foreemeat they
call mache pronounced ma-chai), and it
is used on every conceivable occasion.
They also have a sauce called laban'
which is made from sour milk and is
poured over most Of their meat and veg
etable dishes. They smoke cigarettes. The
hooka and hubble-bubble but very seldom
smoke cigars and I don't think that
among the thousands of syrians that I
have known ever met one who used
snuff or chewed tobacco. Men and women
both smoke. but it is considered highly
improper for a woman to smoke until
after she is married"

Solicitors and Iudnas.

Some lawyers are inclined 10 say
that the promotion of Judge Fer guson
from the solicitorship OF circuit has
put on the bench of the City court a
man better acquainted with criminal
than civil law. Those who know Judge
Ferguson know that he is at home in
all branches of the law. He is essen
TALLY a student, and studenth who
has been in active practice tyt enty
years is very apt to covel the grd md.
Ash a matter Of fact some of the
best Judges the STATE has ever kIS3wn
were promoted, ss Judge Charlesp wv.
Ferguson has been, from solicitorshh hos.
We need not mention more than N1l-
liam M Brooks, Edmund w. PetIeus
and P. w. Coleman. These emin3 INT
men went directly from the office Of
solicitor to the bench, and no one wi Il
say they did not serve the state witn
signal ability. The truth is, solidl
tor is not SO much a prosecuting officdT
as he Is man who acts for the good
of all concerned. 1t is an excellent Of
fee in which to acquire a judicial)
frame of nind-to train, in other
words, for place on the bench.
Judge Ferguson has one other adj
vantage. He understands human ma
ture. He drinks deeply from the great
est treatise ever written on the human
heart with all its quirks and foibles,
and one touch of nature, says the great
bard, makes the whole world kin. Bet
ter than law is knowledge of humani-
ty under any and all circumstances,
and Judge Ferguson goes on the bench
we'll equipped with the matchless pre-
sensations of our common human ma
ture as they were written down three
hundred years ago by the poet. Law
yers may turn up their noses at such
knowledge, but lawyers are neither in
fallible nor impeccable themselves.

Summer Drinks,

Every summer / read various rules
that should govern men N the matter of
food and drink remarked an old citizen.
Some of those who prepare these rules
or hints allow beer In moderation, but all
agree that whisky should be avoided.
Iced tea Is generally recommended as the
most wholesome drink, and soda fountain
beverages are considered by many health
experts as more or less beneficial But
my experience teaches me that cool wa
ter, and plenty of 1t, is the best thing
for hot weather. A little beer does not
hurt and weak tea drunk in moderation
is harmless. But for ten years l have
confined myself to water and have enjoyed
remarkably good health"

BISHOP CLARK.

From thk Hartford Courant
Since Saturday the venerable presiding
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church
in this country DIR. Thomas March Clark,
has KNOWN how 1t feels to be living in
ones ninekty-second year. Thanks to the
wise consH derateness Of friends, he was
spared thel fatigue of any formal observ-
ance of thle anniversary. Through the
daylight hdburs he sat on the veranda OF
his shore dottage gazing upon the sum-
mer sea arid reading or hearing read the
congratulatNlry letters and kilograms.
What an itnteresting stretch of history
the dear olH man has traversed. He was
born in President Madsons time. He was
graduated ut Yale thirty years before
the boomingt of the Sumter guns. He has
been bishop tof Rhode Island since 1854,
and presidingi bishop since the death OF
Connecticut's lamented John Williams in
1899 He canrhot say, with the witty Leo
XIII that hef has been burying all his
successors, folf the succession to the dig
nifty of presiding bishop is an affair of
dates, not of votes in a conclave, and
settles itself automatically; but he has
buried many y hunger bishops. Years ago
he was forced 10 give up his stated round
of episcopal vislitations and to relinquish
the active carel and oversight of the
diocese to a CO. Rdjutor; but age has not
dimmed his mind. nor quenced his Yankee
wit, nor chilled and frozen his heart.

About Doctors Fees.

A prominent physician, in speaking of
a case that was lately tried in one Of the
northern cities, where a doctor sued the
estate of a late patient for his fee, said:
Il want to call your attention to one
part of the testimony, which was as fol-
lows:
Counsel for the estate inquired If
the fact that the patient had died after
the operation would not be considered as
factor in reducing the amount of the
BILL
" On the contrary explained DR.. Lee,
who was one of the surgeons who attend
ed President Mckinley at Buffalo, and
had been called as an expert, the fact
that the patient does not live in no way
relieves the surgeon of his responsibility
in the operation he has performed, nor
does it in any way mitigate his feelings.
" In fact, a surgeon should be paid
more when a patient dies than when he
RECEIVERS. In the latter case there is a
certain amount of credit redounding to
the surgeon because of the success of the
operation. whereas when the patient dies,
the surgeon is often blamed, though the
death may not be attributable to him. and
he inevitably loses credit. His charges
should be based on the responsibility he
incurs when performing the operation, not
on it's success or failure from the view
point of the patients life or death
Now the above Is the proper view to
take of such matters. 1t is wholly a bus
mess matter. and the last person who
should invoke sentiment or feeling. as a
defense is the relative who by refusing to
pay, compels physician to sue for his

Cotton Seed Selection.

Herbert s. Weber, psychologist in
the governments plarting laboratory,
urges the farmers of the south to pay
more attention to the selection of
seed. He believes that by the proper
election of seed and by better culti-
ration the yield per acre can be al
most doubled.
Nothing is perhaps so much neglect
I'd as seed selection. AS a rule farm

General Lonustreet's Illness.

Gen. James Longstreet, who fought
30 grimly and tenaciously forty years
ago that he became known as the bull
dog of war. is now worn veteran 81
years old, and cancerous affection on
the left eyelid has destroyed the sight
of that eye. He is now in the hands of
the surgeons, who are hesitating over
an operation for the removal of the
eye and the diseased parts, and who
are fearful that their distinguished
patient will not be able to withstand
the shock of the operation and the
affect of anesthetics.
There are but a few Of the old war
leaders left. They can almost be
counted on the fingers, of one hand.
There is our own Gen. Joe Wheeler,
and Georgia still has Gen. John B. Cor
don, besides General Longstreet, and
over in Mississippi is Gen. Stephen d.
Lee. There are not many more living
who had great commands in the war.
The few great figures of that great
war will be sadly lessened If James
Longstreet, the hero Of many battles,
should fall in his old age under the
saving but merciless steel of the sur
geon's knife. He led many Alabama
troops, and every veteran and every
son of veteran will be with him in
his great trials, and from every heart
will go out to him silent messages of
sympathy, tenderness and love. His
plsce in history is secure; 1t is his
place among men in this world that
now con ,erns us.

PhILIPPINE SITUATION.
Their Colonization by Americans Held
to Be an Absolute lmpossiblIity.

From the Boston Herald Qnd.)
Lincoln" the able and well-informed
Washington correspondent of our local
contemporary. the Transcript. has been
utilizing the time between the sessions
of congress IN making a trip to the Phil
ippine Islands for the purpose of study
ing conditions there and endeavoring to
judge of the bearings that these have
upon the relations which are In the future
to exist between that archipelago and the
United tSates. A letter from him, which
the Transcript has recently published,
on the Amerieanization of the Philippines.
is an important contribution to the dis
cussion of what these islands are ulti-
mately to become. Lincoln says that
there is absolutely no hope that Ameri-
cans can be colonzed in the Philippines.
Even relatively high pay and living in q
state of Oriental ease, so far as having
numerous attendants Is concerned. offer
no inducement to the average American
to remain there. Those Americans in
the customs service of the Philippine ISL
ands-official positions which, IN this
country, men cling to as long as physical
and mental conditions will permit-are in
a state Of continuous rotation. Seven
out of eight of all the American officials
in the customs service. amounting to sew
eral hundred, retire after a service of not
over twelve months. Some of them, 1t
is true, find other local occupations; but
most of them wish to get back, and do
come back, to this country There are
very few business opportunities to hold
our citizens there, now that the work of
supplying the soldiers of the army with
various means of spending their money
has been greatly cut down by the reduc-
ton in the military force that we main
tain there. It appears to be 'Lincoln's'
opinion that If we were to hold the ISL
ands for the next half century at the
end of that time there would only be a
handful Of representatives of this coun-
try found residing there, these consisting
of officials, of men connected with our
army, and a few persons engaged IN busi-
ness, and practically all of these would
be of the rotating class-that IS, going
there to take the places of others, with
the idea Of having others go later on to
take their places. Colonization in the
way that we have built up settlements
by migration all over this country, and
even in so seemingly inhospitable re-
gion as Alaska, is entirely impossible in
the Philippines. II cannot by any cir
cumstances be to us other than what In
dia is to the English-that is, a depend

Effect Of Railway Subsidies.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
In the June issue of the Worlds Work
Guy Morrison Walker has given some In
structive figures regarding railway SUBJ
sides and draws the conclusion that the
United States owes its position today as
the manufacturer of the world largely to
the liberal policy the government has
pursued in grants to railways. The data
adduced Is somewhat destructive of the
popular impression that the railroads are
under lasting obligations to a fosterfEs
Observation-Disclosures which have ma
and never can be Cancelled. 1t is shown
for example, that although the governl
ment's subsidy policy has been extremely
liberal. the returns to the people, and
therefore to the government, have been
almost inestimable. In other words. the
subsidy investment which the govern
ment made in western railroads has
proven gilt-edged.

From the Church Eclectic.
4 Every woman is an aristocrat at heart

born with the love of rule. Every woman
is imperial in her instincts; no woman is
happy until she has proved her power
to rule; no man is really happy until he
has submitted himself to a good woman's

not always the case-ten. twenty years at

DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE
