library and ethnological and industrial museums devoted to Syria and Turkey.
 The New Turks at School
 During my stay here l have visited the college. It is beautifully located the buildings being situated on the bluffs south of Beirut and running from them down to the sea. Standing upon the cam pus, which contains about 50 acres, one faces the glorious Mediterranean, and at his back are the snow-capped moun- tains of Lebanon with the rich vege- tation climbing their slopes. The insu- tuition has a gymnasium, tennis courts and good athletic grounds. Its students play football, baseball and cricket. They are full of college spirit and have their col lege papers and college songs. Their college yell is as follows:
 Rah Rah! Rah!
 Rip! Rah! Reel
 'Boom An! Boom! All!
 s. P. C.
 The boys have silver cup which is contended for by the various athletic teams, and these Persians, Greeks, Syr- ians. Arabs, Egyptians, Armenians and Turks are being welded into one brother hood by the hard knocks of football and the track.
 Civilizing the Mohammedans
 The Beirut college is an American col lege and Christian college as well, but it does not attempt to proselytize. and the Mohammedan can come to it without changing his religion. It insists only that every one who goes through its courses shall attend chapel and the Bible classes studying the Bible as one of the great influences in the work of the world. It is not long since the students, who be- lieve in Mohammed. struck against these regulations. They refused to go to chapel and took an oath not to attend the Bible

consented, and he accepted the Shake speare which cost dollar and admitted the fine old edition Instead.
 At another time some New Testa- ments sent to Constantinople were held of the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians. Galata is one of the divisions of Con stantinople and the censor asked: Who is this man Paul, and why is he writing to our people in Galata?" He was with difficulty persuaded that St. Paul was dead and that his letter was not the part of 0 plot. l am told that ch emistry was once kept out, because censor objected to the term H. O., saying that 1t seemed to mean that Hamid II the sultan. Abdul Ha- mid), amounted to nothing.
 The Syrian College at Beirut
 In addition to Robert college and the institution at Assiout, there is one here at Beirut which is quite as important as either of the others. 1 refer tQ~the Syr- ian Protestant college, established by Americans in 1866, which since then has been the Harvard and Yale of the far east It has had thouSands of graduates, and it's doctors and lawyers stand at the heads of their profession in Egypt, Syria Turkey, Persia and India It has 300 stu dents, all orientals, representing every part of the Levant.
 This institution was founded by Presby- teriaps, but the instruction is non-sec- tartan. The faculty has about 35 pro- fesscrs, the most of them Americans. and it is q thoroughly up-to-date uni versity. It has medical department which, With it's hospitals, treats something like 16,6JO patients year. It has physical, chemical and other laboratories, a large

classes The strike created a sensation, and for time 1t seemed as though it might do serious damage. The faculty, however, headed by the president, pr. Howard s. Bliss, insisted, saying that the school was Christian college. They de- manded that all students must attend the religious services, and the result was that most of the strikers came in and the college has gone along on it's original lines.
 In talking about this to one of the Mo- hammedan students Dr. Bliss said:
 "Our college was established to give the Mohammedan world the best that the Christian world has. Our aim is to make of you broad-minded, intelligent men whether you continue to be Mosems or Christians. We believe that the best thing we have is our religion, and we are bound to let you know what it is. Whether you accept it or not rests with yourself. If upon investigation you stil think the Moslem religion the best we believe that the knowledge you have of our religion will make you better and broader Moslems. Religion is for man, not man for religion, and we want you to have the training which will make each one of you the best man. whether he be Christian or Moslem."
 Today the Mohammedan students at tending the services look upon them as largely educationA and they study the Bible as such.
 The Spread of Education
 The influence of collegeSAlike this goes far and wide The students come from villages all over the Turkish. empire and from those of India and Persia as we'll Going home, each forms a little hotbed for the growth of independent thought, and civilized ideas are spread in other ways. One of the great means of such distribution is the annual pilgrimage to

5 out of these things the manufacturer was throwing away? It was a waste. There should be no such thing as waste.
 There was use for everything. If I could find use for these things that were cast away by the factory it would be saving thought and thought and thought. 1 was only a poor, ignor- ant greenhorn in those days, but if man has faith and determination 1t does not matter. He is bound to make pro gress. And l made progress earlier than I had reason to expect.
 T carried those steel spoon blanks about with me. and one day when I was in Meriden I met man who work ed in the factory there. I showed the blanks to him and asked him If he knew how they could be finished. He told me they had to be cleaned and dip ped in hot tin. and that 1t could not be done anywhere except in the spoon factory. That seemed an insurmount- able obstacle to me at the time, and l did not know what to do, but month or two later, when I passed the Wallace factory again on my way back to New Haven, I went to the rear of the shop and looked at the heap of blanks, and tried to count how many were there. There seemed to be millions of them. It was useless to count. so I picked up some of them and went into the factory. I showed the blanks to man and asked him how much 1t would cost to tin them. He told me to see the boss. I hunted up the boss and asked him. He probably thought I was crazy. but he named price and we made a deal. He timed 0 lot of the blanks for me and then I started out to sell them.
 Those blanks that the manufact- urers thought were useless because they were imperfect I found market for. There Is a market for everything. Just as soon as I found I could sell the blanks I agreed to take all the factory had. l sold them to peddlers and the small dealers of Connecticut. After a time I got so many from the fac tory that l was overstocked. Then I went to New York I opened a little store on the East Side and hired a boy to look after it while I developed trade there. The stuff was so cheap that 1t found a ready sale among peo-4 pie with whom every penny counts.
 'The success I had in disposing of the blanks opened my eyes to other opportunities. I began to go around

They parted and did not meet again until the other day. Then the man ager who now is president of big concern whose head offices are in the Old Colony building in Chicago. was passing through the railway station at touched him on the arm and called him by name. He turned and saw his Jewish friend.
 After hearty greeting they boarded the train and rode to New Haven to- gether, and talked of former days. The Jew was the same alert, self-contained man of old. He talked of his family. Two of his sons were students in Co.,
 umbia university. His daughter Is in a preparatory school. Then he talked of business, of some of the clerks who had been with him many years and of how much they had helped him to success. Next he showed an engrav- ing of his new business house. It is in Grand street. A four-story struc- ture, so wide that 1t has three double show windows, is needed now to ac- commodate his business. A regiment of employees works for him. Last year he did a business of $2,600, ,000-more than s8000 day for every business day of the year He lives in a fine home in Eighty-sixth street, near Mad ison avenue. Never since the day he landed in America has he bought any thing except for cash.

Samaritan to let him down, for he wanted to work" the houses on his way in. The young man stopped the horse, helped the peddler on with his packs and then, wish ing him good luck, went on his way.
 Ten years later the young man was of which ne was manager when he was summoned to the office to see a man who wanted to buy goods. He showed various samples to the visitor, talked quality and prices and took good sized order. When this business had been finished the GUS toner smiled at the manager and said: You don't remember me, do you?''
 NO" replied the manager. 'I don't re- call ever seeing you before."
 Don't you remember giving me a lift, giving me seat in the buggy with you on the road out from New Haven on the Wallinfiford plains one terribly hot day years ago?"
 The manager did not.
 "Ah but I do," said the visitor and then he related the incidents until they all came back to the manager.
 Well well. we'll" exclaimed the manag ger, shaking hands with the visi- tor; I'm certainly glad to see you"
 The two men sat down and the Jew started to tell his story.
 You remember" he said that when you let me down from your buggy that day you wished me luck. We'll it.was a good wish. I worked along the out- skirts of the town after you left me and made a few sales. It was hoI, dreadfully hot, you know. and about noon I sat down to rest in a shady spot on the bank of the river just be- low Wallace's shop. I had a piece of cheese and some bread with me, and as I was eating I noticed lots of rusty iron things sticking out of the ground. | picked some of them up and exam ined them, but didn't know what they were. After a while, when I had rested a bit I took up my packs again and went up the river path. The nearer I got to the factory the more of those things I saw. Then I suddenly realized what they were. They were imperfect steel spoon blanks. Directly back of Wallace's shop there were lot of them almost free from rust. I gathered few handfuls and put them in one of the packs and went on.
 That night I could not sleep. My mind was full of the problem that had come to me- How could I make money

are bad. the bacteria breed rapidly and the disease is sweeping the country. American Hospital for C0nsumptives
 And this brings me to a great work which has just been started at Juneau within a few miles of Beirut. I refer to the Tuberculosis Hospital, which is being built there by the Church of the Covenant of Washington city and which is under the care of Dr. Mary Eddy, a young woman physician. who has be- come famous for her work as a medical missionary throughout the near east. Miss Eddy is the daughter of the Rev. William w. Eddy. who came to Syria about sixty years ago and remained here until his death She is woman of fine education and great medical skill. and moreover an expert upon all matters connected with tuberculosis and its treatment.
 She Is the only woman who has ever been granted an trade or certificate of protection from the sultan authorizing her to practice as a doctor everywhere through out his dominion and directing that all good Turks shall give her as- sistance as she goes on her way.
 Miss Eddy has been working in Sy- ria for years and has been fighting the spread of consumption as best she could with no place for her patients. The people have come and camped in tents near her house waiting treatment and the tents of the Bedouins may be seen dotting the plains near where the hos pital now is. It Is only a year or so ago that the movement to erect this hospital began, and the buildings are now approaching completion. Among the largest givers to 1t have been Mrs. John Hay. the wife of the late Secre- tary of State, and the late Mrs. Gard iner Hubbard. the mother-in-law of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. So far the contributions are not equal to the needs of the institution. and much more money could be prof1tably used l do not know any place where charit- able contributions will bring in great CT return.
