The evidence of both of them bad to be giv^r. through nn interpreter. They claimed thej* 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. Tho youth Americans—now I am afraid to go on because I am afraid somebody will get mad: hut I am get ting all this out of a book and a very oid one at that and I’m not responsi ble. so I’m going on. The hook says at New Or!m~s in South America they nre satisfied in placing on their heads 'the leave* of trees, symbols of friend- shin and peace. Other salutations they marie Incommodious and painfn! end I one says, “prosperity is painted on vour face.” The second one says, “your air. announces you happily ven erable.” (Air, not hair.) The first one gets in another round, saying "my thanks for your consideration of my miserable self should render you im mortal.” The second one returns the ball, “how shall I dare persuade my self that what you say of me ap proaches the truth!” The first one says, “come home with me to my un- honorable house and dine.” The sec ond one says, "you treat me with a heaven-born distinction.” and to keep him from saying anything else, goes with him quickly. Observe V’iat all these answers are prescribed by tho Chinese .ritual or "academy of compli ments.” This ritual determines the number of bows, the compliments and M Feeling :{MD0S BRYCE Is Stirred Up WASHINGTON.

Too long I have lingered on the Chinese to speak at length of the Jap anese. Their mode of salutatian can be learned fiby applying to any Rus sian or Californian. It will be said in passing, however, that they take off their sandals hurriedly—the in ferior when he meets the superior— and puts his hands up his wides leeves sinks on one knee and passes the ex alted one with a rocking motion, saying: “Do not hurt me, Hiawatha; I believe in the trusts and am against municipal ownership of anything.” In Africa the negroes take each other’s hands and pull the fingers till they crack, and say, “How docs you’ symptums seem to spgashuate?” The dusky Etheopian takes -'ft hi? friend’s robe and ties it round his own waist It is not recorded what the friend does. 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.” The Greenlanders when in this coun try laugh if you take off your hat' to them. In their country they don’t sreak to one another at ail. It's too cold. To Film an Inferior oerson throws bim- nn tho ground before I'i= suir-rior.

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 desirable to withhold."

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.
