Mr.. Bryce At Washinut0n.

DR.. James Bryce, at present chief
secretary for Ireland, and one OF the
liberal spokesman in parliament, is To
succeed Sir Mortimer Durand as am
bassador of Great britain at Washing
ton. England will thus go outside OF
the diplomatic profession to select sn
eminent publicist to fill the excep.
tional post at WASHINGTON. This s5e
has rarely done, and this is why the
appointment is doubly complimentary
TO this country.

THE PERSIANS.

From General Gordon's "A Varied Life"
Socially / found the Persian people
great Improvement on the other Orien-
tails of the further east whom l had met.
They are of a happy disposition and
bright ina gination, doubtless produced by
the dry. clear air of their high table
lands. which relieves from dulness and
depression. They enjoy a joke and laugh
heartily, and they are able to see that
most things have their amusing side. l

which showed that their manners and
ways had been favorably touched and
turned by a softening civiliza ton Of an

MODERN LUXURIOUS LIVING.

From the Syracuse Journal.
The fact is the laborer of today has
luxuries that neither Queen Elizabeth
nor King George of our great-grand-
fathers' time ever dreamed of-daily mail,
telephone, street cars, electricity for do
nestle purposes, homes well lighted, well
plumbed and well heated to say nothing
of the thousand and one articles that we
daily use and do not regard as luxuries-
for example, matches. Nowadays con-
tagious diseases do not devastate our
cities, because state and municipal laws
unite to enforce protective sanitation.
Never were homes so clean and we'll cared
for as by the housekeepers of today.

Brewton Standard: Why is It that no

wealth.
