The Post Card Crop.
All the violets have faded,
Other flowers have passed away;
For the summer leaf has shaded
Spots where sunbeams used to play,
But the tourist tribe, light-hearted,
Forth on various ways set sail,
And the post card crop. once started.

ARAB SCHOOLS.
Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.

and Studying.
"An Arab school," said a traveller,
"is one of the most interesting places
in Cairo to visit. The children, with
the schOOlmaster, sit upon the floor or
the ground in a semicircle, and each
has a tablet of wood which is painted
white and upon which the lessons are
written. When the latter are learned
they are washed out and replaced by
other lessons.
During study hours the Arab schools
remind one of the Chinese, for the
children all study aloud, and as they
chant they rock back and forth like
trees in a storm, and this movement is
continued for an hour or more at
time. The SchoOlmaster rocks back and
forth also. and altogether the school
presents a most novel appearance as
well as sound. WOrshipers i'm the
mosques always move about while re-
citing the Koran, as this movement is
believed to assist the memory.
THE desks of the Arab schools are
old cOntrivances of palm sticks, upon
which is placed the Koran or one Of
the thirty sections Of it. After learn
ing the alphabet the boys take up the
study of the Koran, memOrizing entire
, chapters of it until the sacred book is
entirely familiar.
"A peculiar method is followed in
learning the Koran. The study begins
with the opening chapter, and from
this it skips to the last. The last but
one is then learned, then the last but
two. and so on in inverted order, end
ing finally with the second chapter.
During the students progress it is
customary for the schOOlmaster tc
send on the wooden tablet a lessor

Dyed Articles.

In dyeing at home amateurs often
make the mistake Of putting the dyed
article through the wringer. possibly
to avoid staining the hands for one
reason or perhaps hoping to dry the
garment more quickly. This. however,
should never be done. for the creases
so formed are most obstinate and. in
fact. often only disappear with wear,
despite all pressing. Dyed articles
should be squeezed from the bath and
hung out of doors to dry.

Burns and Tam Samson.

Tam Samson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman who on one occasion
when out moor fowl shooting and, feel
ing the weight of years begin to press
upon him. expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de-
sired, in somewhat tragic style, that he
might die and be buried in the mOOrs.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegy, in which
he related at length the exploits and
skill of his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, Tam SamsOn's
dead"
Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem, "a gey
queer ane," about him, he sent for the
poet and in something like wrath ask
ed him to read what he had written.
On hearing the recital of his exploits
he smiled grimly and seemed by no
means displeased. But" he exclaim-
ed, I'm no dead yet. Robin. Where
fore should We say that I'm dead?''
Burns retired for n few minutes; then
he returned and recited to Tam the
following verse, which he had com
! posed in the interval:
PER CONTRA.

| Tell evry social. honest billie

claimed. That's no bad, Robin; that'l

STRIKE RESULT OF
POOLING SYSTEM IN
FORCE AT FACTORIES

PITTSBURG, Aug. 23.-Six weeks
ago today $500 employees of the Pressed
Steel Car company, mostly foreigners,
walked out on a strike.
The men declared they would not re-
turn to work until pooling system of
wages in force at the car plant at that
time was abolished. BY the pooling
system the men declared the car com
pany managed to get more work out of
them for less pay than under straight
day wage scale.
At the inception of the strike Presi-
dent Frank Hoffstot of the Pressed
Steel Car company made the formal
statement that he would not treat with
the men in any way except as individ-
uals.
Since the walkout the strikers have
formed an organization, gathered
strike and relief fund, and through
their attorneys have tried many unique
ways to bring about a peaceful settle
ment of the strike by court interVen-
tton, arbitration and by injunction.
The car company, in explanation of
its stand against the striking men, de-
clares that on account Of the inability
of the workingmen for the greater part
to either read or write English. it is
impossible for the car company officials
to convince them that a pooling sys-
tenn, whereby q man draws small wages
che week and large wages the next, is
reasonable.

REFUSE REQUEST OF
MILLERS TO PERMIT
BLEACHING FLOUR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The re-
quests of manufacturers of bleached
flour that no further seizures Of
bleached flour be made until a test case
should have been decided were refused
today following a conference between
Wade H. Ellis, acting attorney gen.
eral, and DIR. II. f. Dunlop of the
pure food board of the agricultural
department
The food experts of the department.
some time ago decided bleached flour
was in violation of the pure food law,
not so much on the ground of impur-
ity but because of alleged misbrand-
ing and the agents of the department
were instructed to make seizures of
flour.
Counsel for the millers have been
suing to have the seizures discontinued
until a test could be made and decided.
1t is not known what percentage Of
flour now consumed in the country is
put through the bleached methods.
Two processes of bleaching, one by
electricity, and the other a chemical
process, are used nearly altogether.
The large milers of the northwest
stopped bleaching flour February 1.
The hard wheat of the northwest
makes a white flour without bleaching
while the softer wheat of the middle
west does not produce such white
color when milled.

Benefactor Receivers Health and Asks
Court to Hold Trust Agreement
in Allegiance Until His
Death

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An attempt
by James 3. Hammond, head Of the
Hammond Typewriter company to re
woke trust agreement by which he
virtually gave $40 shares Of the stock
of that company to employees, was ar
gued in court today.
Hamonds counsel informed the court
that last February, believing that he
was about to die, Mr.. Hammond ap-
pointed trustees to distribute the stock
among those of his employees whose
term of service warranted it.
Later an attempt was made to show
that Hammond was mentally unsound,
but he was twice judged sane.
In June he visited Europe and recov-
cred his health, but while absent
learned the stock was being distrib-
uted. He had expected this to take
place only after his death.
Hammond returned to America and
recovered most of the stock
The courts are asked to enjoin the
beneficiaries from appropriating the
balance.
Hammonds counsel said this stock
was worth 81 600 600 and that the agree
ment under which Hammond had
transferred it included a provision the
company should pay Hammond 100000
a year for five years. lie now desires
TO hold the gift in abeyance. Deci-
sion was reserved by the court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-An eX-
animation to fill vacancies in the

Red Bluff, san Diego, Salinas, Santa

tunities for those applicants with edu-
Cational advantages are considerably

eligible for promotion to any of the
more responsible and higher paid
places, including that Of forest super
visor.

character, temperate and in good physi-
cal condition are eligible to take this

ginners is 5000 a year
