number one that he cannot pull to-
gether with his fellows. So there are
many parties and organizations among
them, since the Revolution. Some are
frankly aimed at the overthrow of
Turkish power. Others take the side
of the Turks. A vigorous socialistic
propaganda is in full swing here, with
apparently all extravagances that
ever accompany socialism. Without
discrimination, what is new is adopted.
So the Armenians in this region have
gone in for trades unionism, and they
exult in their power. By exhorbitant
demands, they have closed up many
places of business permanently. Ten
baker shops were put out of business
here recently within single week.
The lack Of loyalty to one another
and to their leaders, and their pro-
verbal ingratitude caused one of their
benefactors to say, recently: Abdul
Hamid made great mistake with the
Armenians. Instead Of massacring
them periodically, he should have CIV
en- them their independence thirty
years ago. Then they would have de-
stroyed one another by this time"
Many of the Armenians have well
coined the chance to go into the army.
This is the only place l have found
where the new CONSUMPTION laws do
not create opposition. l saw large
detachment of Christian recruits be
ing sent off to Aleppo and Damascus,
and it was not at all the melancholy
occasion l have witnessed elsewhere.
Perhaps the opportunity to get away
from this remote place reconciled some
some of the conscripts to their fate.
A Land of Ruins.
Ruins, ruins, ruins, are the charac-
teristic of the hard journey between
this city and Aleppo. Even the SOIL
SO rich in possibilities, is in a state of
ruin. The traveller grows indifferent
to ruins that would make the fortune
of any CITY In Europe. 1t is necessary
to ride in arabas, which are small
spring wagons, opening at the sides
and covered like a prairie schooner
Without baggage, or if content to GO
at an araba's pace, one may ride
horseback. The nights are spent In
khans, and these afford no accommo
dalton except the shelter of a bare
room, without bed, table or chair. The

by the way, one of the oldest in his

ton, since both the American and
German railway projects make it a

Armenians and Revolution.


There are those in this part of the
world who bluntly say that the Armeni-
ans are not worth any such sacrifice
as Miss Shattuck and host OF other
American missionaries have made for
them Up here, on the edge of the an
cient kingdom of Armenia, the Ar
merriam is perennial question. He is
nimble witted-far more so than any
of his neighbors-progress and
prosperous. He gets along better
than the Turk or the Kurd or the Jew.
But he is, as a rule. proud, ungrateful,
selfish and irritating. Instead OF try
ing to live at peace with his neigh
Tors, he is provokingly presuming.
When he cannot be that, he is cringing.
For those who have done most for
him, he is charged with having no
feelings of friendliness or gratitude.
All these criticisms which | am re-
peating are certainly too general to
be true in all cases.
Apparently, 1t is true that the Ar
meuian is so keen at looking out for

II Was q Clumsy Machine and Prae.
tieally Useless. - !.
Most persons will be surprised to
learn that the typewriting machine is
not, as they imagine, distinctly mod
ern invention. So long ago as 1714
patent was taken out iii England by
Henry Mill for "a machine for Inn
pressing letters singly and progressive
ly as in writing, whereby all writings
may be engrossed In paper SO exact as
not to be distinguished from print"
His machine was, however, a clumsy
one and practically useless. 1t was
not until over a century later Q820)
that anything more in this line was
attempted. Then the frst American
typewriter, called a "typographer," was
patented by w. A. Burt.
In 1923 a machine was produced in
France having a separate key lever
for each letter, and between the years
1910 and 1860 Sir Charles MILESTONE
invented several machines which are
now preserved IN the South Kensing-
ton museum, London.
In 1873 g. L. ShOles, an American,
after Ave or six years work, succeed
ed in producing a machine sufficiently
perfect to warrant extensive manu-
facture. He interested firm OF gun
manufacturers in it, and In 1874 the
first model Of the modern typewriter
was put upon the merket.-Cincinnati

friend asked him what was the most
impressive thing he had seen SO far

ply. 1.-THE thing that impressed me
most was the rush In everything. I
was in an Office one day, and young
woman, evidently a new hand, was

been several hundred letters. She cut
one open, took out the letter and laid
it in its proper basket.

boss. Every time you lay down that

APPROPRIATIONS REDUCED
Governor Havley Cuts $685.

NO EXTRA SESSION CALLED
No New Buildings for State Insti-
tutions This Year.

The Boise dispatches of this week
state that all that prevented Governor
Hawley from calling the legislature
in an extra session was the discovery
that he could veto and cut down
items in the general appropriations
bill without having to veto the whole
measure. Tuesday was the last day
for the governor to consider the bills
passed at the recent session, all bills
not vetoed on that day becoming laws
without the governors signature.

Hawley this afternoon authorized the
statement that he would veto por.

that funds for this purpose should

ASSESS AT FULL VALUE
Order Made By Governor and

Ata meeting Of the state land
board at The capital Tuesday far
reaching resolution was adopted, Ia
accordance with which all assessors
In the state will receive notice to
assess property at its full cash value.
A law was already upon the statute
books to this effect but It had always
been ignored and valuations In the
various counties varied from as low
as Is percent to as high as 40 percent.
The legislature ut its recent session
limited the bonding power of the
state and thus made II possible to 60
to a full cash value, It being argued
heretofore that with full cash value
and with no curtailment of the power
OF the slate to bond do0r would be
opened FOR extravaganza expenditure.

al have the power 10 remOve any
assessor who dies nat comply with
the law making II Imperative to tax
at full cash value.
1t Is estimated by the county as
SCISSORS office that the passing to
cash valuation will reduce the stats

from q mills To about eight mills In

Ancient Gardens.

The Egyptians were conversant with
the art of landscape gardening, though
they had to contend with the fiatness
OF the land. Water, however, as an
adjunct was often called into play, for
there was the inexhaustible Nile. We
have three plans Of their gardens, as
the one found in the tomb of Meryleat
Tell el Amaron, which gives us the
perfect idea of how grand garden
was laid out. We have, too, pictures
