Just what vengeance and finance say do—nothing more. Rut she lavishes her charity on the Insane. Yes she is very noble and generous there, for she maintains a magnificent, almost ideal asylum, 150 Jails and nearly ns many poorhouses. where they can be sent when violent or dangerous. For the blind she does well. Fer the orphan she does nothing. 'For the epileptic and feeble-minded she does far less than nothing, as she compels them to become dangerous be fore she deigns to take note of their presence. Could anything be worse iltnn that? Yes, much worse Is the damage to the normal children with whom these defectives associate. We are unjust to the defectives and we are cruel to the normal child, in not sepa rating them in school and in play, in benefits and In responsibility. Now let us dismiss the question of charity and see If we could as a business ven- t ii: • • :: ft..r. 1 t.. r.- fur th.-s.- slop- children. There are in Georgia about a thous and white epilept'e children, more than that many feeble-minded ones, liiots and Imbeciles Included, say a total of 2.000. It would cost 52.25 per capita a week to care properly for them, $117 a year, and the average child would, require six and one-half years’ care, a itial cost of the plant in which to care for those people. The next hardest ob stacle to overcome is the commitment (not admittance) to the institution. The cost of the plant would be ap proximately $200 per capita for epilep tics and $150 for the non-epileptics. This would mean a direct outlay of say $356,000 within the next twenty years. And if we do not so care for them, those of them who will in the mean time drift Into the asylum or through the criminal courts will cost the public far more than that directly. After the first three years of exist ence of such an institution, or. proper ly speaking, colony, it would be by its farm and handicraft products' at least one-half self-supporting—and -in time almost entirely so. It may be two years, or even five, before Georgia makes a start in this matter, but it Is one of the earmarks of Christian rivlllzation that she can not afford to ignore—else she degener ntes and becomes a shame among her sister States. re , a-H-i-i-vt-fg- Pi THE Constantinople as Seen By a Tourist SOME INTERESTING SCENES about Capital of tur- KEY. YOUNG MAN IN BUSINESS -i-H-i-d- -H-M- BY J. K. ORR. I I I I I I : I H+WH4 Whenever I am tempted to give young men advice I think of what the hoy said to his father who was urging him to become a lawyer. “Tell me." said the hoy, “where does my money come in?” “Why,” answered the father “people would pay you for ad vice." Tm afraid not.” said the boy; “none of you take It now, when It’s free.” Some of you camp from the farm. You have seen young pigs fed hot swill In a trough: the first one scalds his snout and squeals; that does not deter the others, each one has to find’ out the swill’s hot in his own way. That was about the way with boys in my day. and I don’t reckon they've chang ed much. In the parable of the sower, the les son seems to be. then, even though much is wasted on stony ground now nnd then n strong se»d takes root and brings forth an hundred fold so it is worth whilo to keop on sowing. I guess by this time you have begun to wonder what has this got to do with “the young man in business.” At best I can do little more than give you a few coals from the embers of a half century's experience. If they light in even one of you the fires of ambition, the effort has not been in vain. At a subway station in New York, dangerous, a man is stationed with a megaphone, who all days calls “watch your steps.” An artist made a pic ture of this, calling the man “Exper ience.” noting how few in tl\e crowd heard his warning voice. Call to Duty. Every man has within him two voices. On? the call of dutv. urging him to self-sacrifice and higher aims; the other the soothing voice of vanity, first heard in the Garden of Eden, drawing him In the other direction. The successful man is the one who ON BOARD S. S. ‘’Arabic.” March 30, 1907.—I wrote you a long letter on Athens and her monuments of ruins just before we reached the Holy Land. Though I am quite tired tonight after a week’s hard travel over the rocky lands and mountains of Palestine, I will next take Up Constantinople as gathered from my notes and later give you a letter on Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho, etc. One appreciates with constantly aug mented reverence and enthusiasm old Rome’s successor in the sovereignty of the world—Constantinople. Surely no more pleasant experience could come to thr traveler than sailing the waters of the Mediterranean from Athens to Con stantinople. The mind is kept con stantly active in these waters by mem ories they awaken. Their waves kiss the shores of the immortal Greece: they have the headlands of immortal Troy: they rellect the snow-capped cre't of Mt. Ida: they skirl the ruins of ancient Carthage: (hey still caress the land of the Alhambra: they glitter on the sands of Egypt; they break in great reverberation on the coast af Palestine. We left dear old Athens and her wortderful ruins and passed the ancient city of Troy up the Dardan elles and aldng the Hellespont. The Turks have thorough!}' fortified the Dardanelles, the great guns present ing on all sides and frowning down from lofty battlements. Then we passed through the Sea of Marmora and in the distance could be seen the towers of the minarets and reminded us that we were nearing Constantino ple, and about 4 p. m. our noble ship dropped anchor. Constantinople is n city of many centuries and marks the meeting place of the East nnd West of Asiatic and European civilization. After good deal of “red tape.” a group of gorgeously has the moral fiber to listen to the Outside of the professions the aye- 1 voice of conscience and stand firm for dressed Turkish “officials “came”" on nues open to a young man to gain a j too right j board to examine our passports and livelihood follow the lines of either 1 overty while no disgrace, is Slav- I our names registered, as the Sultan is capital or labor.

The Moham medans are a people of one book, think ing the Koran contains all knowledge, and is the only book taught. The Mu- denes are sacred teachers and are seen in all parts of the temple teaching the Koran. The Iman are leaders in pub lic worship. It is only through the Christian school that -the heart bf the young Mohammedan la to be reached. Robert College and the Young Wo man's College at Scutari are demon strating this. We next went to the museum where are displayed old works of Grecian art and tombs of emperors and noblemen. They show you what is claimed to be the tomb of Alexander the Great. We were not permitted to visit the treas-. ury. where a great display of precious jewels and relics of Turkish history are held. Nor were we admitted to go near the present' Sultan’s palace or in his summer palace. He never ventures out himself, only to his mosque near by and then through a cordon o'f sol- superstitious of all crowned h'eads of today. The present Suitan has about 300 wives, adding to.his harem a new set each year. Ife has a body of about 20.000 picked soldiers around him day and night. Bordering the 'Bosphorus for more than a third of a mile stands Abdul Aziz, uncle of the present Sul tan, who was assassinated here may 29. 1876. A few weeks later his brother, who ascended the throne, became in sane and since that time this palace has been left without an inhabitant. Through superstition, the present Sul tan lives in another palace. When i Sultan ascends the throne he is sup posed to build a new palace and mosque: hence there are now over 500 mosques and many gorgeous palaces in Constantinople. We next visited the old site of the Hippodrome, where the obelisk ofGhe- tune III., brought from Heliopolis in 3SS A. D. stands. Also the Serpent column bearing the names of thirty- one Greek cities that delievered the Greeks from the power of the Persians. This is a headless column and in the museum is seen the head. I also saw the build column which was once cov ered with bronze plate. The bazaars of the ancients are seen to the best advantage here. The streets are wind ing and you are apt to get lost, so keep a close watch on your guide. Next we visited Gaiata Tower, from which we had an excellent view .of the city. You can imagine the proverbial filth and ill smelling streets when the Sultan’s board of health and street cleaning force consists of 30,000 mangy looking natives.. Our ship pulled anchor at 8 a. m. next morning for a 22-mile trip up the picturesque Bosphorus into the Black Sea and back. Picturesque as the Rhine- and more beautiful, with lofty hills, ruined castles and many palaces, cheered by the waving of stars and stripes in the hands, of students and professors from the housetops and win dows of the Robert College, an Ameri can instution that stands a sentinel of the cross high on the hills over looking the Bosphorus. The weather was very cold but the band on board played national airs as we all stood on deck and amid the ^heer of a fare well salute from the ship's whistle, we bid a God speed and farewell adieu to the Robert College as we came down the Bosphorus, making a sight ever to be remembered.

Out side of England there is not a country in Europe, not even Roman Catholic Spain, Austria and Portugal, where the opening of legislative bodies with prayer is indulged in. Not even the Russian duma was opened with prayer.” Millions a Year on Tips. A statistician whose calculations may be taken to be as trustworthy as sta tistics usually are, estimates that the money given away yearly in tips in France amounts to nearly 15,000,000 pounds, over 4,000,000 pounds beinfe be stowed in Paris alone. His calculations are based on the assumption that' each inhabitant in Paris spends seven twelfths of a penny, and each inhabi tant of the provinces one farthing a day in tips. With an income tax in prospect, Frenchmen are no doubt look ing out for different ways of econo mizing; therefore the statistics of tips would furnish a valuable sugestlon. PRESIDENT’S SONS “UNLUCKY” THIRTEEN CLUB AT NATIONAL CAPITAL WASHINGTON. April 14—The first, out of town dinner of the XIII Club of New York in this city was given to night. The club, in defiance of the common superstition in accordance with its established rule, arranged its entire program on a basis of thirteen: There were 413 in the party which left for Jersey City today at 12:13 over the Baltimore and Ohio in a special train or thirteen Pullmans and arrived here at 6:13. Awaiting them were thirteen specially chartered cars ;n which they proceeded to the White House under the escort of thirteen policemen, and were shown through the various rooms. Strictly speaking, only , twenty-one Presidents' sons, concerning whom there are available records, have grown to man hood. says the Ohio Magazine. Six President—Washington. Madison, Jackson. Polk. Buchanan (a bachelor) and McKinley—left no children. Two — Jefferson and Monroe'— left daughters only. President Johnson had two sons, but both died before he was President, and do not count. The sons of thirteen President—John Adams. John Quincy Adams. Van Buren, W 'liam Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore. Lincoln. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Benjamin Harrison—have lived to man's estate. The sons of Cleve land and Roosevelt are still boys. Of the twenty-one Presidents' sons who have reached manhood nine have bulked large in the public eye on their own account, and all but one or two have been solid, substantia! citizens. The prominent nine are John Quincy Adams. President, diplomatist and Ret- resentative: Charles Francis Adams, pub licist and statesman; Robert Tyler, reg ister of the Confederate Treasury: Rich ard Taylor, who served with distinguish ed gallantry on the Confederate side of the Civil War; John Van Buren. promi nent in State politics and just entering national politics when he died: Robert Todd Lincoln cabinet minister, diplo matist and president of a world-famous corporation; Frederick Dent Grant, diplo matist and general in the army; Henrv A. Garfield. lawyer, banker and professor of polities in a great university, and .Tames R. Garfield. State Senator nnd United States Civil Service Commissioner and Commissioner of Corporations in the De partment of Commerce and Labor, now in the Cabinet. Besides the nine who have climbed so high, there is John Scott Harrison, who had the uniaue distinction of being the snne of one President and the father of another. He was a man of force and of great influence in his own State, though he was not a prominent figure in a na tional sense. Counting him- in. and he surely “made good.” as the sai-lng is ten. or only one less than half the Presi dents’ sons who have r»ieher manhood, are entitled to be named on the roll of honor. Practically all of the Presidents’ sons who have' grown to man's estate have been good citizens; their lives have been clean, wholesome and a credit alike to their parentage and their country, while ten of the twenty-one have won unusual distinction.

NORRISTOWN. April 1 5—At the State Hospital for the Insane an Inves tigation by John L. West, steward, has developed that Monday night’s fire was tlie work of a patient who meddled with the gas appliance used in the thermal baths of the scientist section 11. This is borne out by the fact that flames were discovered in the bathroom just after the patients had vacated it for the night. The fire losses hav been adjusted to the satisfaction of the trustees, who say that the insurance company paid the full amount of the claims. As a consequence, work of re 'building will begin at once, as many of the walls can be utilized. A force of patients was engaged all day in re moving the debris. Nearest Heaven. Another eastern visitor who is com ing to these shores this spring is the King of Siam. When- his majesty visited Windsor some years ago he was given a magnificent suite of rooms on the first floor, but from the first it was easy to see that lie was not sat isfied.

Take a stand on the Gaiato bridge which spans the Golden Horn and connect' Gaiato and Pera with Staml.au] and. Scutari and notice the conglomeration of human beings and their fantastic dress. There are Turks. Greeks. Jews. Armenians. Arabs and many other nationalities. The toil of this bridge averages daily about $3,000. The Population of Constanti nople is 1.135.000. It was first settled by the Athenians 2.200 years ago. Six ceuturies later Constantine made it his Capital and laid out the city tinder the name of New Rome, but it took its name from its founder. He designed and built the Santa Sephia as a Christ ian Temple and dedicated it to Jesus Christ.

Wright, of this city, died at the home of the former on Broadway at 12:30 o'clock today at the advanced age of seventy-four years. Mr. Wright had been in feeble condition since a stroke of paralysis sustained thirty-three years ago and for the past few days come to work. I met his mother in the street and asked her the reason. “Why. Mr. Linton.” she said courte- ing. ‘Jimmy looks so respectable, thanks to you. sir, that I thought I would send him round town today to see if he couldn't get a better job.’ ” Society Wue’en Who Sell Secrets. A type of woman.of which happily there are hot many specimens exists in this metropolis, as perhaps in all others—the society woman who sells the secrets of her friends to sensational "society” sheets. She is not to be confounded with the society reporter, who is in a legiti mate occupation and gets her information by above-board methods. The society woman in the pay of scurrilous weeklies would shudder to be known as a seller of “news,” yet, if the scandals in which she deals can be dignified by that name, she is nothing else. She is without even the excuse, as a rule, that she needs the money. Once in a while she has that feeble explanation, but as a rule she re tails her questionable tidbits of still more questionable “fact” simply to get more money for frocks or bridge than her hus band or father allows. She is the natural enemy of the real reporter, for the legit imate sisterhood is blamed for most of her revelations. It is safe to say that if the women reporters responsible for so ciety news were permitted to promulgate decrees of bahishment at will, the first exile they would make would be the wom an who entertains here friends one day and sells their most sacred secrets the next. the papal nunciature' and their publi cation. Thd Vatican denies th.it it in tends to publish a White book in an swer to the publication of the docu ments of Mgr. Montagnini. The congregation of the propaganda has decided to grant the claim^ of the Ruthenian Catholics in the United States for the appointment of a bishop and has named Stephen Setero Erty- nsky, who is a member of the Ruthen ian order of Basiiians, as titular bish op of Daulis (Greece) with the mission to assist the Ruthenian Catholics throughout the United States. His nomination will bo announced at to morrow’s consistory. It is expected this concession will -revive the claims of the Poles in Amenica, who for years have desired their own bishop, but whose requests have been denied. Pope Pius having named Mgr.

April 15.— Former President Cleveland was deep ly touched when he learned of the death of Mr. Eckels. He said: "I was closely related to Mr. Eckels and his death comes to me with a pe culiar shock. In important public work I learned to know him intelli gently. and industriously he devoted himself to duty, and in the intimacy of close friendship I learned to know and appreciate his rare and attractiva qual ities of heart. These incidents have personal touch with my deceased friend; cause me to mourn his death as a great personal sorrow. Mr. Eckels illustrated the traits that make tho best American citizenship. Deeply in terested in every question connected with the public welfare, he studied them with soberness in tlie end that he might increase his usefulness. Ho was a public spirited man who saw death all about him and whose influ ence was impressed on ail his sur roundings for good. There was noth ing frivolous about him. In every re lation of life as a citizen, as a business man, and as a friend he was earnest? and whole-hearted. Neither the im mediate community in which he dwelt nor the country at. large can well af ford to lose a man like James H. Eckels.” LEOPOLD’S ACTION MAY RESULT IN DISSOLUTION PARLIAMENT BRUSSELS, April 15.—King Leo pold's unprecedented action in with drawing by royal decree the Govern ment bill concerning the hours of la bor in the mines has aroused the greatest indignation in all parts.

Persia’s ruler, says tho Chicago Nows the Shah, which word entered the English language long ago by way of the Arabic and old French arriving in the form of “check.” "Chess” is really “checks,” kings, and the cry of “cho. k" means one’s king is in danger. Hence the verb and substantive “check'' in vil their English meanings; “chi k,” or "cheque.” which was originally the counterfoil of a bill that served to “check” fraud; “checkered” from the aspect of the chessboard, and “exche quer,” from the checkered pattern of the tablecloth on which x the king's ac counts were kept with counters. “Miss” is an abbreviation of “mis tress.” which as an English lawdlc- tionary explains, is the proper style of the wife of an esquire or a gentleman. By Doctor Johnson’s time it had be come “the term of honor to a young girl.” In the earlier part of th? Mth century, however, it was Used respec tively of girls below the age of 10 alone. After that age. “miss" was rude, im plying giddiness of behavior. In Smol lett’s writings an unmarried woman of mature years and her maid are both “Mrs.” It is curious that “miss” has grown older, so to speak, while “mas ter" has become confined to boys.

Never speak or write of old time schools in derision. We are In advance of them in many ways, it is true, and for that we are thankful, but our thankfulness should be largely mixed with humility.
