new thing. This, of course kept them
busy. Being active and always occu

repose, they used as a salutation when
one met another in the streets of
Athens. “Act successfully!” and hur
ried along to do it.

BOSTON. April 6.—Frederick W.
Peabody, of this city, of counsel for
the plaintiffs in the suit for an ac
counting of the property of Mary Ba
ker G. Eddy. In a statement with ref
erence to the deed of trust proceedings,
sit'd today:
“The status of the three alleged trus
tees wili not lie assumed, but must be
proven. They are not trustees if the
instrument upon Which they rely is
of no validity and thr
instrument can be determined only hi
ll judicial determination of the mental
capacity of tho person who is alleged
to h ive made It.
"The attempted creation of the trust
is nn ndm'ssion of tho incomootency

her business and property: and such
an admission Involves the further ad
mission of Incompetency to dispose of
it by deed of trust or otherwise.

both of them bad to be giv^r. through

were attracted by an advertisement in
the New York Staats-Zeltung making
promises of high wages, light work
and rapid promotion in a Southern
and little rain. Indeed it seems as if
one winter month dropp r d out. After
I carefully noting the results on orch-
|ards there are several surprising facts.
! The warm weather In January caused
' peach trees of manv varieties to bud
‘ out. These buds for a distance on
^ the bud foring iimb were killed, but
not all the buds. Peach trees that
I oucht to have been in ful bloom bv
March 10 were not in full bloom until
I after March 20.
It is not determined yet as to how
kiss each other and without saying
even. *’II pass.” go on their separate
ways to play the game. Imagine Scipio
s’,inping into Carthage on the early train
thinking to surprise Hannibal. Im
agine the'r mutual surprise on run
ning into each other. Imagine the kisa
and the silence.
The Romans being warlike, were in
terested in each others music. “How is
your strength?” would be their form
of greeting, meaning, h-ow much can
you stand before you get winded? or
how many men can you kill between 12
and 1 o’clock not stopping for lunch?
“Vale et salve!” they said on part'ng
signifying, "Eat grapehuts. be strong!"
The Egyptians extend their hands
place them upon the breast and bend
their heads after the fashion of the
head waiter. Or an Egyptian kisses his
own hand, which is probably more hy
gienic, and afterwards places it on his
own head: meets his friend and blesses
himself. He will not kiss the hand
of a woman at all as nothing is to bs
gained by it In Cairo the salutation
is. “How do you sweat?” which sounds
rather indelicate, but is not sq intend
ed: it’s simply a genuine, fr'endly in
terest in you for in that country the
inhabitants are accustomed to be sud
denly smitten with a fever as -they
step into the elevator or up on a camel,
which makes their skin dry as paper,
ar-d thev presently perish.
The Ergiish say “How do you do?”
meaning how is it passible for you to
do anything worth while, when I do
everything? The Americans say, “Hove
can I do you?” In the southern part
of the United States they say “How
dy!” which has no meaning whatever.
The French say, “How do you carry
yourself?” or "Do you carry yourself
well?” as an inouiry into the case and
agility of the body of one’s friend seems
to be the correct thing. Also they say
to a casual acquaintance, “I am charm
ed. ravished enchanted, to see you in
good health!” which leaves the cisaui
acquaintance nothing to say, as all the
words the language are used up by
the first speaker; and as he gees he
rapidly contrives and fashions a num
ber of adjectives, loads himself up with
them so that he can fire them at his
ccsaul acquaintance on the next corner
without giving that' person time to
escape.
The German says. "How do you find
yourself?” as if he expected you to say,
“Solid!” or “With a good appetite!” or
“I do not have to find myself: I am al
ways here.”
In Italy they have separate saluta
tions for every hour of the day. They
are strung along through the day like
beads on a rosary, and being on easy
terms with heaven they make a draft
on the Lord's kindness for the benefit
of their friends till it amounts to a run
on the bank. In the morning they say,
“God give you good health!" At even
ing they say, "God give you rest and a
good even!” Also, if they jostle against
you in the street or too swiftly pass
you, they say, “I commend me to you!”
Meet'ng late in the night, they' say
"God give voit the goodness of the
right!’’ or "God content ye!” knowing
that you will arrive at home at an un
seemly hour and may not be received
there with content,
The Spaniards ^jve also a fashion
of introducing t'«e deity into their sa
lutations. One mots another and says.
"Gentle sir. by God's grace you are
well come!” and when thev separate
the ono says, “Go in a good hour!”
and the other. “God remain with
you!” the inference being that the de-
rarting friend needs watching. In
Castile, on parting, the one says. "God
conduct you!” (probably in his mind
designating a place unnameabie to
ears polite), and the other savs, "The
blessed angels bear you company!”
This he says being himself weary of
the company of angels and wanting an
hour’s leisure to pursue his way un-
angeled.
The Dutchman says. "Low travels
my lord?” indicating that he has a
lower berth right next the dressing
room,' and is entirely satisfied and
ouite willing for yo ilto get in on the
ground floor if you can.
The East Indian says, ‘‘Peace be
with you!”—only a small piece, If he
CO” Ttlr’mve it.
The North American Indian says
nothing. If he likes your looks lie
puts a pipe in your mouth and spreads
a clean blanket for you to sit on. If
he likes the looks of your scalp he
takes it. If two tribes meet they stop
! at a distance of twenty or thirty
[ paces and all throw themselves on the
ground, keeping warv eve out lest any
of the opposite tribe are fudging up
on them. The two eldest of each par
ty then advance, and both hegin to
tell at the same time What they have
done, what thev can do and what they
are going to do unless evervthlng is
agreeable. As soon as they haev fin
ished. everybody—chiefs. warriors,
soauws. pappnose"-’. all—begins .to sigh.
The sigh swells to a groan, the groan
to a scream, the scream to a whoop.
Then they “balance all” the men to
ward th® men. and the women folks
toward their kind. Then thev sidesten
hack to their places, swing hands all
around and get out their pipes, and
everybody smokes.
The Laplanders approach one another
in a frozen manner and rub noses. If
th“ rose is all right it stays on.

gets in another round, saying "my

In Africa the negroes take each

they crack, and say, “How docs you’

The Persian goes down the street
lang way to meet his guest, tells him
howdy, whispers something in his ear
and then run? back to the door with
the greatest rapidity and awaits the
guest. On his arrival at the door the
guest is greeted with cordial surprise
and begged to enter. No allusions or
references are made about the meeting
down the street: it's nver mentioned.
Some say that the Persian runs down
the street to borrow a dollar of his
friend before he gets in the house or
to tell him that his wife does not knew
he’s coming, or to beg him to lay low
about where they went last night.
The Arabian says "Peace be with
you,” and then in order to prevent therq
being any chance of its being with you
he proceeds to kiss you three times on
each cheek, and to shake each hand
eight times, and then to ask you three
times without waiting, “How is your
health?” Of course by that time you
have a fever, and the Arab is happy.
The Moors on meeting each kiss the
other on the r'ght choulder. and when
they part each kiss the other’s knee.
You can kiss either knee that happens
to come up. nothing is said about right
or left. They treat a foreigner a little
differently. To a cowboy it would prob
ably seem all right. The Moor rides
at you full speed as if he were going to
ride you down; then sudenly stops and
discharges his pistol over your head.
It's excit'ng to you and pleasing to him,
but peace reigns. The Moor puts the
pistol in the hip pocket of his flowing
mantle and tells you "its on you.”

“Every man and woman In Macon , U1 Kll

Instead of by punishment In jails and
on the chaingang, ought to be mem
bers of the Juvenile Protectory of Bibb
County.”
This is what a member of the pro
tectory said yesterday.
It is the desire of the officers of this
association to secure as large a mem
bership as possible so as to secure tbe
passage of a bill providing for the
establishment of Juvenile courts
throughout the State, and to exert in
fluence in other directions looking to
the saving of boys and girls from lives
of crime.
At the meeting of the League of
Georgia Municipalities last year the
question was thoroughly -discussed. A
paper by Judge Broyles, of Atlanta,
was read, and in it an idea of the
operation of 3. juvenile court and a
probation officer was given as fol
lows:
“In juvenile courts, the child, as
soon as he is arrested is placed in a
detention ward, separated entirely
from the prison for adults. In the
most up-to-date juvenile courts there
school room, with books, black
board-and a matron to teach him his
lessons while he is under deUntion.
He is detained in this yard until the
probation officer can find out all tho
facts in his case, visit the home if
based on his judgment of the charac
ter of the candidate, if he watches the
conduct of those who administer on it?
behalf and calls them to strict account
for any misdoings it will obviously be
safe to intrust to the itninfeipality
functions which otherwise might lr

judge all that he has learned about
the boy. the case against him, tho
hoy’s parents and his home surround
ings. The court then determine?
whether to dismiss the case, to put
the boy on probation and let him re
turn home, or to place him in some
other home or institution where his
surroundings will be b»tter. In a ju
venile court the probation officer is
even 1»«*>re necessary than the judge.
He should be a many-sided man. a
man of big heart but of sound judg
ment. gentle as a woman, but firm as
adamant and as patient as Job him
self. When a child is put on proba
tion by the court, the probation offi
cer at once takes charge of him. takes
him into his office, has a long talk
with him and his parents, makes ar
rangements for the child to write him
once a week stating what he is doing,
and visits the homo of the child n.s
often as poss’ble, so that he can see
for himself how the child is doing.
If the boy is neither at work or at
school, the probation officer must se- ,
cure him a position or get him into
school. In other words th? probation .
officer, when h? finds the child to be
without parents, or without proper j
parents must act as the child's guar- j
dian and do for him what he would do
for his own child.”
Until the proposed law is passed,
the presiding judges of the various
courts will be asked to suspend sen
tence and place th" children in the
care of volunteer probation officers.
As soon as a sufficient membership
is secured, a meeting of the protectory
