Lawyer. and Our Public Lie.


Without stopping for statistics, which
have been so often collated, 1t Is
enough to say that in the public life Of
this country the lawyer has been the
conspicuous factor. The judiciary, Of
course, is altogether composed of men,
bers of the profession. In executive
offices and legislative halls the law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business and all other pro-
fessions. Yet the public life of this
country has been of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of official labor, they have
proved true to their employment, and
it may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
in official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory of a general
personal integrity? 1t is no sufficient
explanation to say that, although the
great mass of the profession is cor
rupt, there are few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life. The truth Is
their very prominence in public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein i'm
posed, is evidence which cannot be ig-
nored that the profession has and
maintains a character for honesty and
uprightness which attracts general
contidence.-D. j. Brewer in Atlantic.

Meaning In Oriental Rugs.

Not only the design but the colors of
the rugs woven in the orient are full
of significance. They represent nation
al or individual traditions and stand
for virtue, vices and social Importance.
Red was regarded by the Egyptians as
symbolic of tidelity. Rose tints signify
the highest wisdom and black and in
digo sorrow with the Perslans. Pref
erences for duller tones of color among
the Persians give to all their embroid-
cries and other products of the loom a
certain richness and dignity. Tyrian
purple is almost universally regarded
as royal. Green has been chosen by
the Turk as his gala color, but he
would not approve of its use In rugs,
where 1t would be trodden by the feet.

REMARKABLE LAKE.
A BODY of Water with n Roof of
SOlidified Salt.

SOlidined Salt.
A lake with n salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and 1t isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when
the sun is shining directly upon it.
This wonderful body of water is one of
the safest of the salt lakes and is sit
uated near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake
Is nine miles wide and seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
posit. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
1t are adding fast to the thickness OF
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
Of time these caked together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
cred its surface about three feet. The
salt crust was SO thick, however, that
1t retained its old level and now pre-
sents the curious spectacle of salt
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. The
many islands with which the lake is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep the arched salt crust in
position.

The trouble between the President
and Senate clique over the dis
charge of the 25th infantry has de-
veloped to very unusual and pos
sibly serious situation. 1t has been
many yeaIs since President of the
United States was in a position where
even threat of impeachment would
be dared against him, and while there
is little idea that the breach between
the President and the Senate will
have any such eventuality still that
possibility has been limited at. The
whole thing is a matter of politics.
Senators Foraker and Penrose, both
have large colored constituency and
they are bound to talk for the effect
which it will haye in their respective
states. The chances are that if For
aker and Penrose were left alone they
would talk for the benefit of the Con-
gressional Record and then let the
matter drop. But at this ,,ypoint
another factor enters the equation,
and that is Bailey of Texas. Bailey
hates the President politically and
personally, with whole souled and
consisted hatred that is rather un-
usual in that gentleman. 1t is ex-
pected that when he comes back after
the holiday recess, he will take ad-
vantage of the situation to vent his
personal spite during the discussion
of the Foraker resolution. Most of
the other southern members would be
glad to let the matter drop, because
it is neither good politics nor to their
personal liking 10 keep the race
question stirred up at fever heat as it
now is. Moreover it Is suspected they
secretly approve the President right
or wrong. The more conservative
view of the situation is that the For
aker resolution will be passed and
possibly that the COMMITTEES on mill

The "Rote of the waves. y

1t Is favorite theory with the fish
ing and seafaring people on the north
east of Scotland that In a storm three
waves are strong and violent, while
the fourth Is comparatively weak and
less dangerous. This succession they
call "rote of waves" Fishermen re-
turning from their fishing ground often
prove by experience the truth Of their
theory and hang back as they come
near the shore to take advantage of
the luli that follows, say, pretty reg
iularly after three big breakers.
