When the d y fected of other lands
are minded to continue here their dis
affection and to rail and agitate and
conspire against republicanism, Just
as they had done against monarchism,
says the New York Tribune, we must
regard their coming as an impertinent
and offensive intrusion, which is per-
mitted If at all, not because of any le-
gal or moral right of theirs, but
through carelessness or a self-confi-
dence on our part which may be more
complacent than prudent or patriotic.

mo man." said the late E. H. Harrl-
man, "is absolutely necessary or even
very important. If l did quit nothing
would happen. This world is full of
men ready to take the place of any
one. The fellow who takes hold where
l leave off will go right ahead. Trains
will run just the same, dividends will
be earned as before; so 1t is with ev-
cry man." The views thus expressed
were not startlingly original, but COM
ing from Hartman they showed that
his head was not turned by his extra
ordinary success. He belonged to the
common-sense school as opposed to the
miracle-worker school, some of whose
adherents would have ranked him as
the greatest miracle-worker of his
time. And the soundness of his judg-
ment Is proved by what has occurred
since his death. Following the an
nouncement of that event, the stock
market was noticeably strong. In the
ordinary course there viii be short
lived sensations and changes In the
prices paid for stocks. But it Is plain
that Mr.. Hartman, with all his ability
and all his power, was not the whole
thing. In discussion of the estimates
of his wealth it is pointed out that
while he held controlling interests in
the larger corporations with which his
name Is identified he did not actually
own them. His authority was by no
means that of an absolute monarch,
but was conditioned on his retaining
the confidence of other capitalists.
Standard Oil, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and
the National City Bank come to the
fore again. However large the Harri-
man estate may be, combination of
interests more or less closely woven
together Is to determine the future of
the so-called Hartman system. There
must, of course, be an active manager
at the head of the system, and he may
acquire as much power and prestige
as Mr. Hartman himself enjoyed. He
will certainly be unfit for his job un-
less he possesses strong will and ex-
| ceptional ability and intelligence. But
we may be sure that the miracle-work.
er school will be ready to acclaim him
on slight provocation. For it must
have its indispensable man. 1t will
turn lightly from one to another and
repudiate Mr.. Harrimans declaration
that no man is absolutely necessary
AS for the sentiment that no man is
even very important, 1t will look up
on this as the worst kind Of heresy.

:. up into tiny fields. During the sea-
son of the year in which we made our
journey one of these fields is filled
with sprouting barley, light green in
color; another field-perhaps the next
with vetch, lavendercolored, clov-
er-like fodder; neighboring field
with a dark green grass, from the
seed of which lamp oil Is manufac-
tured; another with the pale yellow
flowers of the mustard, and scattered
here and there fields filed with what
looked like variety of lily-some
white, some red, some yellow, but all
equally brilliant.
Then, to get the complete picture,
you must imagine patches of flower,
ing azaleas dotting the roadside; tow
ering, round-topped camellia trees
breaking the skyline with frequent
splashes Of bright green; usually in
the shade of these trees houses with
white plastered walls and red tiled
roofs; about the more pretentious OF
these houses were white plastered
walls, above which appeared a profu-
sion Of palms, roses and strange ma
tive flowers; and in the doorways OF
the garden walls kimono-clad japanese
girls, the kimonos as many and as
gayly colored as the garden that
framed them.-Outing.

OLD RAILROAD sTRINGERs.
ROadbed Used Before the Time O,
Iron Rails and CrOssties.

tOuuDeu Cseu before the T1m0 Oh
Iron Rails and CrOssties.
The warehouse of G. S. Mercier in
this village has some curious and his
toric timber in it, Point of Rocks
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes. The joists are made from the
"stringers" which were used on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad when the
cars were drawn by horses, before the
days of the locomotive. These "strin.
gers" were oak timbers, about inches
square, laid longitudinally on the track
just as the T rails are now laid. Upon
these timbers iron straps about two
inches wide and half inch thick were
spiked, and upon these straps the
wheels ran. To fit upon these thin
straps the flanges of the wheels must
have been very slight. Now and then
the end of strap would get loose, the
wheels would get under 1t and the iron
would penetrate the floor, and some
times passengers were severely wound
ed by them. They were known as
oAdhC ncciuo U SeN6Tdl OIL the
stringers now uesd as joists in Mr.
Mercier's warehouse the straps are still
attached, and it is doubtful whether
anywhere in the world there is anoth-
er specimen intact of this kind of
rail" used in the infancy of railroad
construction. The warehouse was built
about sixty years or more ago, at the
time the primitive rails were supplant-
ed by crossties and iron rails.
For a year or two, beginning in 1882,
Point of Rocks was the western termi-
nal of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
pending the litigation and the settle
ment by the Legislature of the right of
way between the river and the noun
tain at this place. Large quantities of
goods and produce were brought here,
and the old warehouse in which they
were stored is still standing and in
good repair. 1t is now used as a ho-

Israel is coming into its holy of no.

many long and bitter centuries. AS one
result of the new regime in Turkey
all religions are officially recognized
on an equal basis and at last the Jews
are allowed to enter the site OF their
ancient temple at Jerusalem and there
worship according to their creed. Since
the destruction of the second temple
by the Romans under Titus, in 20 A.
D., no Jew has been permitted on the
spot. For a dozen centuries Moslem
soldiers. stationed at the gates, have
slain or turned away all who sought
to enter; and the devout Jews nave
had no other privilege than to weep
and pray outside the walls. Within

the past generation visiting Christians
have been allowed. under guard and
for payment of a fee. to enter the
beautiful Mosque of Omaha. which
stands where the great Temple of Sol
omon stood. and where Christ taught
in its successor, which was erected
after the return from the captivity.
Beneath its lofty dome is the wonder
full rock of numberless traditions, re-
vered alike by Jews, Christians and
Mohammedans. Late in July the Jews
were allowed to enter and worship for
the first time. So 1909 is a notable
year in Jewish history, and the prom
ise of the olden prophecy has come to
pass.

An English medical scientist OF the

the Ten Commandments, states that
profanity is a valuable escape valve
and relieves strain that is harmful
to health. Yet statistics show that
women, who, as rule, refrain from
blasphemy, are longer lived than men.

The opening of railroad from a
point near Luxor into the Libyan des-
ert has rendered easy the approach to
the oasis of Khargeh, which Is regard
ed as a typical example Of these iso-
lated centers of life. For three years
lust past H. ]. l.. Beadnell has resided
In this oasis, studying the phenomena
Of springs, moving sands, wells, and SC
forth. The Libyan oases are deep de
pressions in a lofty plateau, which has
a maximum elevation of nearly 2,OOC
feet. but the bottoms of the oases are
only from 100 to 800 feet above sea
level. They are underlain by beds OF
sandstone which are the sources of the
water-supply. Artesian wells 400 feet
deep form practically inexhaustible
means of irrigation, and such deer
wells have been used from ancient
times. The depressions were once the
beds of lakes, and the water In the
sandstone probably has its sources in
the Abyssinian highlands.
Although the objects are often only
such as would be called sentimental
there are no stronger supporters oi
movements for the protection of re
markable natural phenomena than sci

John Nj. Clarke calls attention tc
the lead that Germany has taker

motives induce interference for the
protection of natural monuments,
