The road from Homs to Hama runs almost due north, a straight white line cutting across the green fields. It is one of the oldest routes in the world. Caravans have been passing along it for at least 5,000 years, just as we saw them—long strings of slow mov- ing camels with their bright colored bags of wheat. One could almost imagine that Pha- raoh was again calling down the corn of Hamath to fill his granaries against the seven years of famine. But even here the old things are passing. Just beyond the long line of camels was a longer line of fellah women, their dirty blue robes kilted above their knees, carrying upon their shoulders baskets of earth and stone for the roadbed of the new French railway. The carriage road is French, too, and a very good road it is. Some men were repairing it with a most ingenious roller. It was a great round stone, drawn by two oxen and having its axle prolonged by a twenty foot pole, at the end of which a barelegged Arab was fastened to balance the whole af- fair. If the stone had toppled over the picture of the Arab dangling at the top of the slender flagstaff would have been worth watching. All along the ride we were reminded of the past. It is a fertile soil, but the very wheatfields are different from ours. Only a few yaras In width, they are often of tremendous length. I hes- itate to commit myself to figures, but it is certain that the thin, green fields would stretch away in the distance un- til lost over some little elevation. At one place the road was cut through a hill honeycombed with rock tombs which the haj said were Jewish. Every now and then we passed a tell, or great hemispherical mound, built up of the rubbish of a dozen ruined towns, for even as late as Roman times this was a well cultivated and populous country. There is now no lumber available for building purposes, and in a number of villages the houses are all built with conical roofs of stone. Where the rock happens to be of a reddish tinge the houses remind one of nothing so much as a collection of In- dian wigwams. Where the stone is white, as at Tell et Biseh, it glitters and sparkles like a fairy city cut out ' of loaf sugar.—Secribner’'s Magazine. ' | POINTED PARAGRAPHS. ! Do you always keep an appointment ' or just claim to? A woman always thinks her dress- ' maker keeps half the goods. i Nine-tenths of the things people quar- | rel over do not make any difference | one way or the other. { When the doctor says to you, “Old ‘ man, I’m sorry, but you can’t live an hour,” how will you take it? A boy is old enough to be welcome in the neighbor girl’s parlor long be- fore his sister thinks he is old enough to sit in the parlor at home. Had the old fashioned children act- ed like the present generation there would have been no children. Their parents would have beaten them to death. Every one has his vanity card to play. The preacher gets a man into the fold by telling him of the ‘great influence” he has upon others.—Atchi- son Globe. A Fish’s Appetite. A singular instance of tenacity in the digestion of fish is reported from Shef- field, England. The fish, which was a ling four feet long, had what appear- ed to be an abnormally hard liver. But the cutting up process revealed some- thing far stranger. The supposed hard liver turned out to be nothing else but a piece of stout netting, over two yards long and fourteen inches wide, which had been pressed. into the form of a football. How this great mass of in- digestible material came to be swal- lowed by the creature is a mystery, and the suggestion that the fish caught in the toils of a fisherman's net solved the problem of how to escape by de- vouring his prison walls is not consid- ered scientifically practicable. Marks of lilness on Nails. “One who makes a close study of finger nails will find many curious things about them to excite his won- der and interest,” says an expert on such matters, “but none more so than the stories of physical condition told in their growth. “You know that the nail of a person in good health grows at the rate of about one-sixteenth of an inch each week—slightly more than many au- thorities believe—but during illness or after an accident or during times of mental depression this growth is not only affected and retarded so far as Its length is concerned, but also as re- gards its thickness. The very slight- est illness will thus leave an indelible mark on the nails which may be read- ily detected as the nail grows out. If one has a sudden attack, such as acute rheumatism, which sends the temper- ature bounding upward to 104 or 105 within the space of two or three hours, it will be found on the nails, indicating the difference in thickness of growth between the time when health was en- joyed and the thin growth of the ill pe- riod. “If the illness is one that comes grad- ually, like typhoid fever, for example, instead of a ridge a gentle incline will appear on the nails. Should one have an arm broken the thick ridge can be seen only on the fingers of the one hand, but in all cases of general sickness the ridge or slope appears on the fingers of both hands. When one has passed through a period of extreme ‘excitement or mental depression, the fact will be imprinted on the nails ei- ther with an abrupt edge or a gentle slope, according to the acuteness of the mental influence. “In no instance can the marks of ill- ness, accident or mental condition be clearly seen on the nail until after the growth has carried the line beyond the white or half moon portion of it, but a week or two subsequent to any of these things the ridge or slope may be found on the nails, usually readily visible to the eyes, but if not the mark may be found by running the tip of the finger down any of the nails.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. STRANGE CHECKS. The Odd Assortment Collected by One Bank Clerk. A torn linen collar, a piece of lath, a cuff and a half dozen other odd ob- jects hung above the bank clerk’s desk. “My collection of queer checks,” the young man said. “Each of those things Is a check. Each was duly honored. Each has a story. “I have been collecting queer checks for three years. That piece of lath started me. A western bank honored the lath for $250. It was made out as a check by the owner of a sawmill, who was out at the plant with his son, thir- ty miles from any house, and totally | without paper, let alone a check book. ' The money was needed to pay off the hands. The sawmiller wrete on the lath just what a check correctly drawn has on it, and he sent his son in to the bank to get the money and to explain. The lath check was honored after some discussion among the bank’s officers. “The cuff check was drawn by an actor who had become slightly intoxi- ‘cated, got into a fight and been arrest- ed. He was treated cavalierly in his cell. They wouldn’t give him any pa- per, and he bribed a boy to take the check to a bank. The boy got the money, and with it the actor paid his fine. Otherwise he’d have been jailed for ten days. Thus the cuff check may be said to have saved a man from pris- on. “The check written on that linen col- lar won a bet of $5. A man bet a wo- man that a check made on a collar would be cashed, and of course he won his bet. : “Your bank, if you carry a good ac- count, will honor the most freaky checks you can draw up. In such mon- key business, though, it won't encour- age you.”—Chicago Chronicle. Eve’s Apple. A botanical friend showed me not long since what he said was the ap- ple that must have tempted Eve in what was surely a tropical fruit gar- den. It was a little bit of an oriental crab, about a third of an inch in di- ameter, and, of course, it was bitterly sour! My philosophizing friend point- ed out that, of course, the fruits in Eden were the natural “wild” fruits, and he was wondering whether the fall of mankind would not have been ac- celerated if the attracting tree had been hung with a fair crop of the tempting golden or crimson varieties of today.—Country Life In America.
