ENCOURAGE Indian Art.

Mrs. James w. Pinchot, mother Of
Clifford Pinchot, formerly United
States forester, is leading move
ment to interest American women IN
the articles of adornment and utility
made by Indians. She advises the
women to buy bags, caps and belts
made of silk, beads and feathers by
the aborigines. Mrs. Pinchot began
interesting her friends in the handi'
work Of Indian women when she
started to collect rare samples of
needle and bead work made by In
dams in the west. She has studied
much about the textile Industries Of
the American redskin, and examples
of lace collected by her have been
placed in the national museum, where
they attract the attention of women
visitors more quickly than almost
anything else displayed.

Urfa, Mesopotamia.-To this city,
the ancient Odessa, l have come from
Aleppo, over the route taken by count
less armies Of conquest-Turkish,
Arab, Crusader, Persian, Roman. Gre
clan, Egyptian. Assyrian, Babylonian.
Abraham came over the same route
to the Promised Land. Jonah went
this way, after trying to go in the 9TH
er direction. The heartbroken pro-
cesston OF Jewish captives came into
exile over this same stony road. Now.
In the same general direction are
pointed the German Bagdad railway
and the American Chester railway
project
Urta itself was hong regarded AZ 'Ur
of the Chaldees," from which Abra.
ham came. 1t has many traditional
associations with him. The Arabs say
that he was such good man that the
people of Urfa tried to make him stay
here and become their king, instead OF
going to Canaan. When he persisted
they finally took him up to the crest OF
the hill, which Is now crowned by the
ruins of castle of unknown antiquity,
and threw him down. He was m1rac-
ulously preserved, and landed On his
feet. Where each foot struck there
gushed forth a beautiful fountain
and there are the lovely Pools OF
Abraham to this day. They are filled
with fish regarded by the Moslems as
sacred, and so tame that they fairly
crowd one another out of the water at
the approach of person, whom they
expect to feed them. So thick are
the fish that yanked big fellow out
of the water by the crook of my cane
which proceeding was advised not
to repeat, as the Moslems here are
very fanatical.
A few hours below here is Harran,
where Abraham dwelt for time

Cheap and Cynical.

Miss Virginia Gildersleeve, dean OF
Barnard college, said once: There is
nothing I dislike more than cheap
cynicisms at the expense of matri-
mony. Nothing is easier than to ex-
cite the mirth of the foolish by some
such glib epigram as Rogers: 1t
makes no difference whom you marry,
for you always find next day that you
have married somebody else

Lazy Tom.

"The season Of the summer girl Is
one of roses" said a noted Atlantic
City life guard. II overheard yester-
day a conversation between two sum-
mer girls, stretched on the sand un.
der a red parasol, that cheered me up
like the sight of the first swallow in
spring. Don't you find Tom rather
rough?' said the older summer girl.
Yes, do replied the other; and
yet he says he shaves every day,
too!'"

Siamese Royal Beauties.

1.-THE Favorite Daughters of the King
of Siam" is the picture which few
tourists who visit Bangkok fail to
bring away from that city. It has
been burned into porcelain ware, and
as a whole and in sections has been
used to decorate all sorts Of articles,
useful and ornamental. The picture
shows seven girls, all about fourteen
years old, all wearing white shirt
waists, black knickerhockers and
white shoes and stocking, and all with
their long black hair loose upon their
backs. They are grouped about an
easel in drawing room furnished in
modern European style, looking ex-
ceedingly conscious of their garments.
On the postal cards which bear this
picture the title is, "Siamese Royal
Beauties"

But he is,s az z rule, proud, ungrateful,
selfish and irritating. Instead Of try
ing to live at peace with his neigh
bors, 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 l am re-
peating are certainly too general to
be true In all cases.
Apparently, It is true that the Ar
menian Is SO keen at looking out for
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 a 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
Hand made great mistake with the
Armenlans. Instead o3 massacring
them periodically, he should have CIV
en- them their independence thirty
years ago. Then they would have de-
stroyed ono another by this time"
Many Of the Armentans have vel
coined the chance to 60 into the army.
This h the only place have found
where the new CONSUMPTION laws do
not create opposition. I saw a large
detachment of Christian recruits be-
ing sent of to Aleppo and Damascus,
and it was not at all the melancholy
occasion I have witnessed elsewhere.
Perhaps the opportunity to get away
from this remote place reoonc1led some
some of the conscrfpts 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,
