from the Volga and the Danube rivers
to the Gauges and from the Indian
ocean to the polar sea- The tribute Of
thousand tribes and the homage Of
Seven-and-twenty conquered nations
were laid at his feet here. But all this
glory has departed and for five centu-
pies Samarkand has been dying.
All the imposing structures that
once gave Samarkand its reputation as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
of decay and dilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the
adornments that made them famous,
and the earthquakes that occur every
few years diminish the number Of tur-
quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
sions of the enameled walls, and in
crease the heaps of debris which now
cover the ground. No effort has been
made by the government or the priests
or the people to restore or even to ar
rest the ravages of time or to protect
or preserve the architectural monu-
ments that have stood here for ages
against the vandals, the earthquakes
and other destructive agencies that
have made Samarkand wreck Of its
former magnificence.
You would think there would be sui
ficient pride, piety and patriotism in
the Mohammedan world to perpetuate
monuments and institutions chiefly &C.
clesiastic in their origin and purpose,
but the same conditions appear in
every country where Islam prevails,
except in Constantinople, Cairo and
one or two other cities.
Islam is a dying religion. 1t has
reached hopeless stage of decay, If
the appearance of its mosques and me-
dresses, it's shrines, the mausoleums Of
its saints, it's cemeteries and other pub
lie institutions may be accepted as evil
dence. have never seen a new
mosque in any Mohammedan country;
l do not know of one that has been
built within the last century, and few
have been repaired. Everywhere the
Indifference Is the same; everywhere
the same degree of dilapidation may
be found, even in the most fanatical
cities like Bokhara and Damascus.
The Persians used to call Sanar-
kand the center of the universe, the
hub, like Boston. 1t WAS the Athens of
Asia for learning and culture, but a
Babylon for extravaganza and vice.
The luxury and immortality of its
rulers and it's citizens was the cause
of it's decay. Its population at the
zenith of It's glory was million; now
it has scarcely 175,000 inhabitants.

England and the United States Now

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS through.
out the civilized world the hand OF
mankind seems to be raised against
the gypsies. The last two refugees to
which they betook themselves-the
United States and England-have set
their faces against them. Hereafter
in England they are to be treated
like common Migrants, without visible
means Of support while in the United
States the immigration laws serve to
depar them as idle and dangerous
t1oynads.

that the gypsy was public menace

Dutchmen, every tradition of their
plodding industry outraged at sight
of the gay wanderers, drove them out

What Alaskan Indians Smoke.

Seattle, Wash-How would you en-
joy a pipeful of wood shavings satur-
ated with strong solution Of pepper
as an after dinner smoke? This is
the strange substitute used for tobac-
co by Indians along the Alaska coast.
Their mouths are often made raw by
the practise, and the eyesight of many
is affected by the strong fumes.
It is no uncommon practise among
farmers to smoke the leaves of the to-
mato and potato plants. While both
these plants contain narcotic poison,
the smoking of leaves in moderation
is harmless. Excessive use, though,
produces heavy stupor, from which
the smoker awakes with a terrific
headache and feeling Of utter ex-
haustion. Insanity and suicide have
often been caused by the immoderate
use of these two weeds. Rhubarb,
beet and even garden sage leaves are
all smoked by farmers, but are per-
haps the least harmful Of substitutes
for tobacco.

Do They own Cincinnati?

Cincinnati.-Not long ago the lineal
descendants of George Washington
caused the probate Of his will to be
opened, 107 years after his death.
Their object in doing SO was to prove.
II they could, that they were entitled
to the greater part of the land on
which the. city of Cincinnati is built.
Their claim rests upon an alleged
grant of this land by congress to
Washington as a partial reward for
his Services in the Revolutionary war.
They profess to have the original
documents in which the land was
ceded and which were overlooked at
the time of the generals death, partly
because of the fact that at that time
the land had no particular value.

els not the present, as we have
seen, exceptionally secure? What,
then, of preparations for the future?
Patriotism is the basis of our insti-
buttons. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth Is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring. It
is taught in our schools. A new
course has been added--a course in
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between quanflca-
tons Of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as we'll as serve. They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed. which they ara
made to know by heart, is not com.
pick. 1t is simple, but comprehen-
sive. no less beautiful in diction than
lofty in aspiration. These are the
memories:
"As it Is cowardly for soldier tc
run away from battle, SO it Is coward,
ly for any citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of his
country. America Is my own dear
land; she nourishes me, and l will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
l am.
"As the health and happiness Of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop Of blood doing
Its work in its place. 30 the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place.
These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can we not
safely assume that the principles AMI
mating their lives augur well for the
permanency Of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise Of durability?
THE future, then, Is bright. And
the present? But one thing is need
full. No present movement is more
laudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let US never forget that the great
est inherent resource of the Amer
lean people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied with
out cessation, and soon it will be
found that all the ills Of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of great and blessed country.

COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY SAYS
COUNTRY Att RIGHT.
the WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
Striking Article In North American
Review That Is Attracting Wide
Attention.

The attention of business and pro.
country has been attracted to str1k-
ingly strong article by Col. George
Harvey in the September issue OF the
North An. erican Review In which the
writer takes a view Of the greatest
hopefulness for the future of America
and Americans The article is en-
titled "a Plea for the Conservation OF
Common Sense" and 1t is meeting
with the cordial approval of business
men of all shades of political opinion
throughout the entire country. In
part, Colonel Harvey says:
"Unquest1onably spirit OF unrest
dominates the land. But, If it be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country is sound, must we
necessarily succumb to dependency,
abandon effort looking to retrieval
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find the root Of the dis
tress, which even now exists only in
mems minds, and then, after the
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?

rates are low.
why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer, we believe, to be plain.
1t awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
Ing the latter against extortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
THE solution Is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the stu
alton is without precedent. But is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines? ~
