SYRIAN CAPITAL
Center
of Goeomment of
New Republic.
Washington.—Th« oldest dtj In ths
world becomes the newest capital by
Uw recent French prods matlon creat
ing the republic of Syria.
Damascus, 4,000 years old, will be
the center of the new government
which Is a successor to the proud
"kingdom of Assyria, a name linked
with dread and terror in the Old
.Testament.
"France has carved the republic of
Syria nut of the Syrian mandate
!tranted her by the League of Nations,”
says a bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society.
"In creating the republic,” the bul
letin goes on to point out, "France has
•followed In the footsteps of Great
Britain: Out'of the Palest!ne-Trans-
jordan and Iraq mandates Britain ere-
ated the kingdom of Transjordan and
the kingdom of Iraq.
Does Not Cover Entire Mandate.
"The republic of Syria, however, ap
pears seven years after the establish
ment by France of the first republic
In her Syrian mandate, that of the
Lebanese republic which Incloses the
fkmons mountains of Llban or Leba
non and runt down to the Mediter
ranean shore. The new republic with
Its capital at the ancient Moslem cen
ter of Damascus Includes by no means'
nil of the area of the mandate. In ad
dition to omitting the liebanese Re
public it also excludes the state of
the AJoultes, and the state of DJebel
Druse, mountain home of the fiery
tribesmen, the Unitarians of
I
“Religion draws the political boun
daries In ths Syrian Mandate. Not
only Is ths Independence of the Alou-
Ites and the Druses recognised for
religious reasons, but also ths new
Syrian Republic and the I/ebanese Re
public represent a Modern republic
mnd a Obrtetlan republic respectively
“Four religious slates In an area
we larger than Georgia still leave many
out in the political cold. To
iLae there all would require cut-
Syria up into more pieces than

“Syria a creeds and peoples are wov
en of many human odds and ends.
Three-fourths of the population of 2.-
<90.000 are Mohammedans but part

witches tad fairies aboot—more on
May eta than on any othor day la the
year, except Halloween. The old Irish
year began on the first of May, and
like the old Biblical people It was
the time of aprlng cleaning. For weeka
before, the Irish housewives cleaned
their houam, changing every corner,
and fumigating the rooms with juni
per. This wag u strong preventive
agalnKt the witches.
When the great day arrived—in
fact before midnight—each family was
well prepared. All the fires had been
extinguished, awaiting the great Bel
tane fires which the kings of Ireland
lighted on the mountains, and from
which the peasants rekindled their
own hearthflres. With the first light
of May day the men of the house
made a din with the pots and pans,
pails and cow bells. The half-starved
dogs were let loose and howled about
the house. The women lit censers of
herbs and waved them here and there,
and everyone chanted, "Witch flee,
flee from her~ or it will go ill with
thee.”—Bosto' Herald. »
Many and Varied Tricks
Kr^wn to Fur Traders
Unlike the American fur crop, the
greatest part of which is taken off
ordinary farms, Canada's fur harvest
—apart from that of the fur ranches
—!• still gathered at the cost of hard
ship and life from the great open
spaces and thickly wooded forests.
And It la here, strictly speaking, that
romance is forever lurking around the
corner.
The first collecting of these akina—
when the ambitious trader pushes aa
far into the wilderness as he dares,
for Instance—In order to meet the
outeemlng Indian family, usually de
velops Into a battle of wits and words.
And the buyer. In many cases, must get
up mighty early In the morning If he
hopes to circumvent the breed's cun
ning and trickery. Many a pale, fifteen
riolliir marten is transformed Into a
dark, fifty dollar skin by the skillful
application of a lltyle balsam smoke.
More than one black bouaecat finds
Its way amongst the hundred dollar
fishers, while mink and lynx akina
having damaged flanks and shoulders
are conveniently turned with the fur
inside snd the leather aide out

The northern boundary of Minne
sota was settled by the treaty of
Ghent terminating the War of 1812.
By it the lake of Woods was to be
the northern boundary. At the time.
It wes suppoeed that there were many
rivers flowing from the lake eaatward.
and the United Statea was to have tbe
land drained by them. When tbe ac
tual survey was made. It was found
that there were no risers flowing east
ward. and. so. because of the Inten
tion. and after many surveys had been
made, and romretaaton appointed to
nettle the matter, the amall piece of
land caH<*d the Northern Peninsula
was reded to the United Statea In
1873 and the question finally settled
by the United Slates and England
In 1877.
Horae of Francis Drake
in Small English Town
One of the rooms In tbe oldeat house
at Staines, England, the Knowle.
where Sir Francis Drake lived for a
time. huM been atripped of some
valuable wnllpa|>er. which ha« been
sold to a I<ondon antiques dealer. This
pui>er, hand painted with Chinese pic
tures, was prepared about 173ti by a
famous Chinese artist, who came from
Shanghai. Its removal from the wall
Involved a long and anxious process.
After being dampened the paper was
backed to prevent mishap, and then
carefully peeled. Owing to cold weath
er the process was intermittent, and
some pays were spent before the pa
per was finally removed. The Knowle
was for centuries in the possession o£
the 1‘ellett family. It is a curiously-
built house, almost surrounded by a
low corridor, suggestive of a ship’s
alleyways, though the original archi
tecture has been affected by later ad
ditions to the building. Sir Francis
Drake, like other distinguished sail
ors, seems to have been a great lover
of dogs, and placed tablets on the
walls recording the loss of some of
his pets.
