Canaries Steamship Pets.

Few and far between are the steam
ships entering the port of Boston that
cannot boast of a canary. No matter
how battered and rusty the craft may
be, one is pretty sure to find the canary
somewhere in the rooms of the officers
or crew. It's cage, as a rule, is a won
derful creation of brass wire and lace,
and the canary himself usually is a
singer whose trilI and whistle are of
the best. The little songsters appear
to enjoy life on the ocean. Seldom are
they Inconvenience by the motion of
the vessel, and the more the cage
swings from its hook the more they
MARBLE. Sailors will tell you canary
is a mascot. Be that as it may, the
canaries are great pets. Frequently
one may see a sailor on the water
front Juggling his bird and cage to
some new berth.-Boston Herald.

DISCUSS NEEDS OF CHARITY
LOCAL HEBREWS ASSEMBLE IN
MASS MEETING.
Mr.. I. L. Blout Presides and Rabbi
Simon Explains Need for Funds.
Duty of Young Men.

The matter of sustaining the United
Hebrew Charities and its mission to as
sist the worthy poor was the principal
subject discussed at a mass meeting In
the Eighth Street Temple last evening.
Mr.. l. l.. B1out presided. He made a
brief address, explained the object Of the
meeting, and then called on Rabbi Abram
Simon. The latter pointed out the need
for funds which he said. should total at
least $1,000 yearly. in order that the pur-
pose of the Washington Hebrew Chari-
ties might be effectively achieved. He
called attention to a statement by one of
the officers in the organization several
weeks ago that without more funds the
charities would be compelled to close its
doors against the Hebrew poor of the city.
Rabbi Simon remarked that every young
man of the faith should be member OF
the charities organization and make an
nual contribution to help the needy.
Mr. Simon Wolf was tie next speaker.
He praised the spirit which has hitherto
been shown by the Hebrews of Washing
ton, which. he said. compares more than
favorably with that Of any other city of
the population of Washington. New York.
with its Hebrew population of SO,OU, IT
was stated. has only $500 subscribers to
its organized charities, against almost the
same number among the 10000 Hebrews

LINCOLN IN EDINBURGH.
Significance Of Scotland's Memorial
to American Liberator.
To the Editor of The Star.


The general accuracy of w. E. Curtis
special correspondent of The Star, is no
less wonderful than the rapidity with
which he perceives and depicts the salient
features Of places that he visits in dis
tant lands. Within twenty-four hours
after writing from Dunfermline, Scotland,
he has reached the city of Edinburgh and
written about Scotland's capital sufficient
to fill two very interesting columns in The
Star of September 81.
In such hustling and charming writer
one can readily excuse an occa sional
trivial inaccuracy, as, for instance when,
with unconscious humor, he translates
Edinburgh's nickname. "Auld Reekie." as
meaning "a place of ancient smells"
There would have been no imaginary
ancient smells in his nostrils if at close
range he had noted the smoky gray of the
city's ground-cOlOr, or from a more dis
tant aspect seen what r. l.. Stevenson de-
scribes as the pile of building on the
hilltop and the long plume Of smoke over
the plain" But Stevenson knew that reek
Is smoke, not smell.
Mr.. Curtis aptIy describes the Cation
Hill. which Is public park, as "monu-
mental zoo," the memorials being mostly
freaks; but he invites criticism when he
says that the statue Of Abraham Lincoln
is one Of the freaks on Cation Hill, and
that 1t would be compliment to the
United States If the lord provost of
Edinburgh would take 1t down. Since
Mr.. Curtis does not describe the monu-
ment, nor assign any reason in support of
his suggestion for its removal, permit me
to state that. as a matter Of fact. the
Edinburgh statue of Abraham Lincoln is
not freak, and is not on the Cation
Hill. 1t is within an Enclosed cemetery,
known as the Cation burying ground.
which is separated from the Cation Hill
by wide thoroughfare. The statue is
the work of an American sculptor. George
E. Bissell. 1t is a fine bronze figure of
the great liberator. and rests on a massive
Scotch granite pedestal. subordinate
figure is that of freed negro holding up
a wreath. On one face of the pedestal are
Lincoln's words, ITO preserve the jewel
of Liberty in the framework of Free
DOM" But the statue Is memorial not
alone to Lincoln, The legend on the ped
estal tells that this plot Of ground was
given by the lord provost and town cCun-
Gil of Edinburgh to Wallace Bruce. United
States consul. and dedicated as a burial
place for Scottish soldiers of the Ameri-
can civil war, 1861 Cut in the granite
are the names and records of Scots who
fought to preserve the Union, and who
have found their last resting place in this
old burying ground at the Scottish capt.
tai Wheresoever a soldier Of the Union
is buried. there a statue of Lincoln Is a
fitting memorial; and may the number Of
memorials that honor liberty. courage
and patriotism never be diminished
either in Scotland or in these United
States. BEN IRVING.

nature. body. sould and spirit
Dr. Winbigler then declared that mans
nature in its completeness consists Of
body. soul and spirit The soul. he said
Is probably the connecting link between
the body and the spirit, and it also fur
nishes the elements of another possible
basis for the spiritual body. In closing
he asks:
(Which nature should be master? The
body? No. The soul? No. The spirit?
Yes"
