Mr.. Chase has such an exaggerated
respect for the blue blood of Boston
which runs in his veins that his man
ner is slightly p~atronizing. He was
lately introduced to a Syrian of good
birth and education who lives in this
country.

Americans are only moderate drink
ers compared with those of other u
tries. The average citizen of the Unit
ed States, counting in the women n
children (Which is not fair, u serves
for the moment as a basis to ngure
upon, consumes in the course OF a year
liquors which contain one and a tnlru
Eallons of pure alcohol. But the Frencn-
man. who. though formerly n OF the
eoberest. has become the worst drunk
ard in the world, absorbs annually
three and a half gallons of lcohol.
The Belgian and the Swiss come next,
with a consumption Of two and four
ffths gallons. Then follow the Span
lard with two and a third gallons, the
Italian with Just a trife less, the Eng
lishman and German with two and a
tenth. and the Austro-Hungarian with
about one and three-quarters gallons.
On the other hand, the American cltl-
zen by no means stands at the top OF
the list in respect to sobrlety. Inc
Swede drinks only n and a sixth gal
Ions of pure alcohol in a year; the Hol-
lander drops considerably below him,
with N gallon even; the relatively Vlr-
tuous Russian, Notwithstanding his
much advertised addiction to vodka,
absorbs only a trife more than SIX
tenths of a gallon. and. finally, the Nor
wegian, who occupies a proud eminence
as the most abstemious man in tie
world, barely exceeds a modest half
gallon of the stuff in a twelvemOnth's
rotations. 1t might be added for the,
sake of defniteness that the average
person in the United States annually
drinks one and a third gallons of proof
spirits (Which are-50 per cent alcohoD,
one-th:rd of a gallon of wine and six
teen and a quarter gallons of malt liq-

Scene at the Annual Visitation OF
MOhammedan Pilgrims.
Mecca, at the season of the annual
visitation of Mohammedan pilgrims, is
thus described in Everybody's in with
the Pilgrims to Mecca" translated
from the narrative of Ibu Jubayr Ali
of Bandar AGas:
Like a gigantic c~atafalque, somber.
shrouded in mystery, the Kaaba rises
out of the seething sea of white CARRIED
humanity that crowds the great sacred
square of Mecca. Its door is covered
with plates of solid silver studded with
silver nails. From the exterior of the
roof, above a stone marking the sep
ulcher of Ishmael. which lies at the
base of the northern wall, there pro-
jectS a horizontal, Semicircular rain
spout five yards long, t~wenty-four inch
eS wide. made of massive gold. With
in the roof is supported by three col
umns of aloe wood: the walls are hung
with red velvet alternating with white
squares in which are written in Arabic
the words. 'Allah-Jal-Jelalah' cPraise
to God, the Almighty. The building is
packed with pilgrims, praying, weep
ing, beside themselves in an ecstasy
of passionate devotion. Mingled with
their voices there rises from outside the
chant of the Talbih, the song of the
winding sheet, which every pilgrim
must sing ON entering Mecca, on dom
ming the sacred hiram, OF entering the
Haram, and on starting for Nina, the
valley of desire, and Arafat, the noun
tain of compassion"

Bryan Meets King Edward.

London.-William J. Bryan, who was
introduced by Ambassador Reid, was
received in private audience by King
Edward at Buckingham palace The
visit was paid at the Kings special re-
quest, his majesty having notified Mr..
Reid that he desired to meet Mr..
Bryan. The interview was quite in
formal and was marked by the pleas
ing cordiality which the King is accus-
toned to show Americans in whom he
is interested. Only the King, Mr.. Reid
and Mr.. Bryan were present. The con-
versation largely turned on the subject
of peace and the Interparliamentary
Union, with the objects of which the
King showed himself thoroughly in ac-
cord

PEACE PARLIAMENT.
Great Meeting in London Cheers Rus
sian Delegates.

London.-The fourteenth confer.
ence of the Interparliamentary Union
was opened in the Royal gallery of the
Lalace of Westminster Monday. Ad-
herents of international peace from all
of the parliaments of Europe, as well
as several of those of the Western
hemisphere, were in attendance.
There were about 500 delegates pres
ent, the American representation being
headed by Congressman Richard Bar
tholdt, while William ]. Bryan occu-
pied seat on the platform.
Lord Weardale (Sir Philip Stan
hope) opened the congress, his pre-
liminary sentences of welcome being
specially addressed to the Russian del
egates, whereupon the delegates rose
in body and, turning toward the del
egation of the late Parliament, cheered
them to the echo.
Lord Weardale also incidentally
mentioned President Roosevelt as hav-
ing been associated with them in the
work of peace.
Premier Campbell Bannerman, in re-
ply, reminded his hearers that King
Edward had always been great ad-
vocate of peace.
The premier especially greeted the
members OIL the huSSlhH fdTlldHneul
present and also paid tribute to EN-
peror Nicholas, who had done SO much
towards the enhancement of ideas of
peace. 1t could, he thought, be safely
asserted that the Russian Parliament,
although dissolved, was sure to again
come into existence.
Then the premier, in sudden ex-
cess of enthusiasm, shouted LA
Douma Est Morte. Viva La Douma"
("The Russian Parliament is dead,
long live the Russian Parliament.")
The delegates rose to their feet and
a storm of cheering continued for a
couple of minutes.
Prof. Maxim Govalevsky, member
of the lower house of the Russian Par
lament. announced that he and his col

PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERPAR-
LIAMENrARY UNION.
BRYAN'S ADDRESS CHEERED
Resolutions Ask Hague Conference
to Restrict contraband of War
Also to Cut Down Armament
Delegates Honored by kina Edward.

London.-The conference of the In
terparliamentary Union, after a pro-
longed debate, on Wednesday adopted
the following resolutions:
"The Interparliamentary Union, now
assembled in London, expresses the
view that the second Hague confer
ence should
"First-By treaty define contraband
of war as being restricted to arms,
munitions of war and explosives.
Second-Reassert and confirm the
principles that neither a ship carrying
contraband or war, nor other goods
aboard such ship not being contraband
of war, may be destroyed.
"Third-Affirm that even belliger-
ents' private property should be as i'm.
mune at sea as it is on land"
The conference also adopted a reso-
luton in favor of the discussion by The
Hague conference of means to cut
down the ''intolerable expenditure on
armaments."
Another resolution provides that
each national group shall apply to its
own government to grant funds to aid
future conferences of the Interparlia-
mentary U,ion.
The decision as to time and place of
the next conference was left in the
hands of lne International council.
Congressman Bartholdt of Missouri
read a paper for Senor Diego Mendoza
representing Colombia, making plea
fer Bogota, Colombia, as the place for
the next meeting, which, with other
invitations, vas referred to the coun-
Gil.
The conference then concluded its
sessions.
The delegates were entertained at
luncheon at the House of Lords A dep
utation of the visitors will be received
by King Edward at Buckingham pal
ace.
Lord Chancellor Loreburn presided
at the luncheon at the House of Lords
and Ambassador Reid, Paul Cambon,

corps; the speaker of the House OF
the House of Commons, Mr.. Lowther;
Herbert Gladstone, the home secre-
tary; Chief Secretary for ireland
Bryce, William j. Bryan and Prince
Hillkoff were among the distinguished
guests.
Bryan made the hit of the occasion
with brilliant piece of word painting,
describing the glories of peace, his
text being that noble life is better
than death on the battlefield. Pro-
longed applause greeted Bryan's ora
torical effort.

Largest Leaf in the World.

The plant which has this most re-
markable leaf is named after Queen
Victoria. 1t was the tribute of Brit
ish traveller in faraway land when
he discovered the unusual growth.
The leave was more than five feet in
diameter, and around 1t extended a
rim about three to five inches high.
When it first opens the flower is
white, with pink in the middle, which
spreads over the whole 1oer the more
it advances in age, and 1t is generally
found the next day of a pink color.
As If to enhance its beauty it is sweet
scented; like others of the tribe, it
possesses a fleshy disk, and petals
and stamens pass gradually into each
other, and many petaloid leaves may
be observed. I'VE met them after
ward frequently" says an explorer.
"and the higher we advanced the
more gigantic they became; we
measured a leaf. which was six feet
FIVE inches in diameter, its rim five
and half inches high, and the flower
across 10 inches"
