SOUTH AMERICAN STAMPS.

Now that the scarcity of paper
and pigments due to war conditions
is less marked, . number of South
American republics are once more
issuing stamps in great variety. The
most elaborate of the new Issues
comes from Uruguay panoramic

from a telephotograph. None of
them, however, can compare, in the
way Of minute detail, with a series
issued ten years ago by the Chilean
government depicting scenes in the
history Of Chile, such as the sign
ing Of the oath of independence and
4 number Of battles on land and
sea. Another Chilean series COM
prises portraits of men famous in

IN THE lNscRUTABLe ORIENT
Western Mind 10 Helpless In Any e.
fort to Follow the Subtieties Of
Eastern Reasoning.

The difficulties met by the Mil.
ner commission in Egypt were not
confined to the more OF less enlight-
ened political opposition Of the
Egyptian nationalist party, led by
Mr.. Zalgoul, says Munsey's. 1t had
also to contend with the apathy and
age-old tradition Of Egypt itself.
The native official, like the Arab and
the Turk, knows not hustle and re-
jects western methods.
Some years ago, when an effort
was being made to improve the
hygienic and educational facilities
Of Damascus, certain data were
sought from the governor, with the
following result.
Question-What is the death rate
per thousand in your city!
Answer-In Damascus it is the
will of Allah that all must die; some
die old, some die young.
Question-What is the annual
number of births?
Answer-We don't know; Allah
alone can say.
And the governor appended as .
foot note to his QUESTIONABLE:
"And now, my lamb of the west,
cease your questioning, which can
do no good either to you or to any,
one else. Man should not bother
himself about matters which con-

LABoRERs TAKE THEIR EASE
Sjestas on the Park Benches Fellow
the Accomplishment OF Vheif
Quota Of Direct Effort

The policeman who commented on
the great diminution Of the numbers
of the park bench loafers OF the old
school made fine but solid distinc-
ton. Those who occupy the ma
jority of the benches nowadays, he
said, were not loafng, but just en-
joying themselves.
He means, we take it, that they
idle legitimately, being employed,
and that the old type, which loafed
professionally or from lack of work
to be had, are passing out of view.
This strange phenomenon OF the
park benches summarizes in an
epigrammatic fact the peculiarity OF
the times through which we have
just gone. 1t records the surplus of
jobs and the insufficiency of the
whole population to fill the jobs
available. 1t also evidences the rest
full, if not indeed languid habits Of
work that prevail; labor eased off
with siestas on public benches. Per-
haps some of the former whole
time loafers find now that they can
draw whole-time pay and still hold
down the benches a fair part Of
the time.
1t is natural enough. We are
making use of marginal utility, in
workers so low in the faculty of in
dustry that it would be cheaper for
the community at normal times to
let them loaf. Perhaps we near the
end of the period of too many jobs.
1t has its drawbacks as well even as
does that of too many applicants

HERE's'A NEW GOLF PRoBL EM
Marked Hole On Links at
Hunqjao, China.

A golfing problem Of extreme in.
terest has just presented itself to lc-
cal golfers, the North China Herald
writes. A few days ago while play
ing the tenth hole at Hungjao, q
player approached with high shot,
which descending almost vertically
seemed to have landed dead close
to the pin. Reaching the green, he
proceeded to search for his ball. and
not finding it lying open, went 60
far as to see whether he had not
actually holed out. Then, and only
then, was the missing ball found.
In place of a flag to mark the
holes, the Hungjao course uses a
fair-sized wickerwork affair like q
basket, at the top Of the pin. and it
was found that the ball in descend
ing had struck this and forced it's
way inside. Protlem-what course
should the player have done? He
might, for instance, have tried to
play the ball from where it Law,
counting a stroke for each blow with
the club. But in the long run he
and his partner agreed to have the
ball dropped without penalty. On
the conclusion Of the round refer
ence was made to the rules Of golf.
but SO far nothing which will quite
cover the case has been found.

When Columbus landed on the island
OF Haiti a huge banquet was given In
his honor by native chieftain. and
on that occasion he CHANGED to notice
that two or three Of the aboriginal
guests bore scars on their naked bodies
suggesting serious wounds.
In response TO his polite inquiry.
they said that the scars represented
bites which gentlemen from the near

out OF their persons.
II was further explained that the
people OF Gambia (knOwn today as

Of eating human flesh. and that. to oh

accustomed to undertake armed raids
