Relic of Training Ships
From the st.f1uis Republic.

Iom tCuls lstpupilC
Local members of the Society of the
Army Of the Philippines have criticised
St. Louis rather pointedly because no
preparations are under way to give q
gala reception to the United States gun
boat Isla de Luzon. en- route from Cape
Girardeau to serve as a training ship for
the st. Louis contingent of the naval
militia
This community, named after one OF
the most courteous of medieval kings
and famed for the gentle blood and state
ly ways Of its founders, would be deeply
panied to be found wanting on such an
occasion. Perhaps the difficulty arises
not SO much from a tendency to hold
gentil knight who is our patron saint
as from the completely of the situation.
1t is not altogether clear to some of US
whether the Isla de Luzcn is coming as
a relic or as a training ship.
AS the first. she is entitled to our most
distinguished consideration. AS the Sec
ond, she invites the quips OF the humortst
and the scott Of the doubter. The Isia
Dewey's famous matutinal fight In the
Bay of Manila She was built at New
castle-on- Tyne in 1887 for the Spanish
navy. After the engagement which gave
America the Philippines she was raised,
repaired and brought to this country.
Most Of our naval craft were built under
the American flag and have never 'smelt
powder" but the Isla de Luzon was
captured from a foreign power and has
seen actual war.
But as a training ship the captured
gunboat is egregiously ill adapted to local
needs. She draws twelve feet Of water.
With careful plotting she will be able to
get about the harbor bit. but the st.
Louis levee, with its gentle slope above
water and below, has no berth for a
twelve-foot boat. while the river has
a six-foot channel above the city and an
eight-foot channel below ii. In all times
of ordinary water the Isla de Luzon will
be in a state of splendid isolation and
immovable except within narrow limits.

Queer Egyptian Burial Customs.

From the Wide World Magazine.
The Egyptians have many curious Gus
toms in connection with the burial Of
their dead and the healing of the sick.
At every Moslem funeral, for instance,
there are hired mourners, varying in num-
Der according to the wealth of the de-
ceased These funerals are always head
ed by old blind men. carrying long stais
in their hands and waiting loudly. They.
are followed by the relatives and friends
Of the deceased. and then comes the cof-
fin. This Is succeeded by two or three
of the native fiat carts common to Cairo,
filled with woman mournerS. Mourning,
in fact, is quite profession among the
women Every day you see groups OF
them squatting on the ground outside the
hospital al Cairo, waiting to be hired for
funeral.

has poured into Jerusalem to worship at
the spot made sacred by the crucifiXion of

From the fourth century after Christ

French Observance of Traffic Rules.
From the Scientific American.


How important the proper observance
of traffic rules seems to the French Is
best shown in the decision Of the high
est French court in the case of a motor
truck which was not properly lighted In
the rear. A passenger automobile ran
into the truck on a dark night, and the
negligent driver of the truck was sem
fenced to Imprisonment. to pay the dam
ages to the passenger car, to pay for in
juries received by the chauffeur and.
finally, to reimburse the owner of the
passenger automobile for the inconven-
fence caused by the loss Of the use Of
the car.

A King in No Hurry.
from lie Cri de Paris.

1e Ut faI1S
Alfonso XIII prefers St. Sebastian to
the gloomy palace of the Escurial, which
was formerly the summer residence Of the
Kings of Spain. and where apartments
are always kept prepared for him. The
present king has lived at the Escurial
only once, in returning as child from
Switzerland, and then only for a few
hours. The tombs of the Kings of Spain
from the time Of Charles v to the present
are at, the Escurial. It is destined to
contain, one day. the body Of Alfonso
XIII.
The guide who accompanies strangers
who visit the Escurial explains that the
young king has never yet visited the tomb
that is reserved for him, and adds: THE
present king says: oh, that place there.
Don't bother. I'll get there soon enough. -

The chaiGt came about througn tne

The change came about through the
mayors discovery, III the course or his
searching Investigation into all city
departmentS, that the civil service law
rs it had always been enforced was
open to evasion. Under the letter OF
the law. when an appointment was TO
be made, the civil service commission
certified the names OF he first three
persons on the list. from which II was
required hat the selection be made.
When it was desired to evade the law
and reach some favored person who
stood farther down Oh the eligible list
the method was for the head OF the de-
partment to pick out one OF the three
first named who could be Preached
and tell him that he appointment
would be rendered him. but that he
must decline it; that later on another
place would be found for him that
would be just as good or better. but
that for the present he must stand
aside If he wished to retain or win the
friendship of the politicians. The per
son knew that if he accepted the ap
pointment ne would quickly find in
fuences at work against him., so he in
yariabiy declined Ii necessary the
san performance WIS repeated with
the next three who We're certified by the
commission. and 50 on down the line
until the man who was TO nave the
place was finally reached In "ne In
stance a position went to Il man VINO
at the beginning stood fortieth on the
eligible list. All OF those who were
ahead of him with Iroportlonately
higher percentages of efficiency We're
obliged to make way for him The
letter Of the law had been observed.
but its spirit had been outraged
Following this discovery Mr., Gaynor
issued an order to all of his heads OF
departments that all appointments. or
whatever nature or description. must
be made in numerical order from the
list furnished by the civil service com
mission. He explained that this nat
urally would result in some injustices
and unsatisfactory appointments. but
they would be tritling as compared with
the i%niQuities Of the old system. Inc
effect Of this sweeping mandate was to
take the whole city administration out
Of politics at one stroke OF the pen.
Under the Old system all heads OF de
partmentS were forced to devote one
half Of every day TO interviews with
politicians who wanted some II given
a Job or this or that policeman. fire
man. street sweeper or other employee
I promoted. transferred or discharged
Now there is nothing that can be done
for any politician. no matter how pow
erful he MAJ be. so the department
heads are no longer bothered by them,
but are left free to give all OF their
time to the city's business. COnse
quently they are able to watch things
more closely. and the city is saving
money and getting better service from
its army OF employees
