The Customs That Hedge Wer In—Turning Your Back! Outhe Bosphorus their caiques area greai resource to the Turkish ladies, but m Pera those of the classes can only go out, in closed carriages, to the Sweet Waters, occasionally accompanied by their husbe:ds on horseback. But they may speak to no one while driving; their hus- bands and sons cannot even bow to them &3 they pass, and no one would venture to say a word to his own wife or mother when the carriage puils up—tbe pclice wou'd at once interfere. The highest mark of respect is to turn your back to a lady and tuis is de rigeur when any member of the imperial harem passes. We were drinking coffee one day at the Sweet Waters at that part which flows by the grounds of a country palace of the Sultan. Allat once Sadik Bey jumped up and rau behind a tree with bis back to the Sweet Waters. ‘I'wo or three closed carriages of the imperial harem were passiug along the road in the gafdens on the other side of the river, the blinds so; far drawn that it was impossible to see if anybody was inside, and yet all along our side we saw Turks, whether officera or civilians, going through the same absurd ceremony, and only when the car- riages were outof sight did they return to their coffee. Formerly a man never saw the face of his intended till after the marriaze ceremony, when they withdrew inio 4 room and the veil was lifted for the first time. Now it is generally contrived that the bridegrcom elect shall see his future wife for a moment unveiled. EASTERN SITUATION’ Harem Favorites in a Piot—Peace Negoti- actions and a Cretan Situation. According to a despatch from Conetanti- nople published iu Berlin fourteen ladies of the Imperial barem bave been arrested ona charge of complicity with the intrizues of the Young Turkey party. With regard to the peace negotiations it is understood from an Athens despatch that the Peace Conference has arranged for the appointment by the powers of three delegates to control the revenues assigned to the service of the Greek debt. The The Porte is negotiating a loan to cover the «:acuation of Thessaly, The ambas- sadors propose that the indemnily should be paid io four yearly instalments of one million pounds Turkish. The Turkish Government wants the evacuation to occupy the same period and wishes to hold Vole until all has been paid. Germany demands that Turkey shall be allowed to hoid tne districts of Trikhala aud Turn- avo uatil the indemnity has b en paid. Eng a.d strongly opposes it. The belief of the Cretans that Djevad Pasha, the new military commandant, is really charged by tne Sultan with instruc- tions to wreck the autonomy scheme has bad one very important result. The deput es represepting the principal pro- vinces have sent to the foreign admirals an Otiicial declaration accepting autonomy and expressing a desire that the Turkish troops should be withdrawn from the Island. A special despatch from Soga says it is ramored there that the object of the visit of Prince Ferdinand and Stoileff, the Bul- garian Premier, to King Charles of Rou- mania at Sinai is to induce reluctant Rou- mania to join Servia and Bulgaria in the rising against Turkey. for wh.ch, it is alleged, secret preparations have for a long time been in progreeg. The discussions of the Lambeth Confer- ence bave been conducted in private ; but as the Church Evangelist remarks, “there is every reason to believe that they bave been marked by much brotherly feeling and goodwill. What are called burning questions have been discussed with con- siderable frankness, but there has not been the least friction nor anything out of har- mony with the fullest Christian charity. We understand that the anticipated crusade against the Society system in Missions has not been realized in the Conference. One ofthe Indian Bishops it is raid made something in the nature of an attack upen the system, but he received very little support from his brother pre- lates, many of whom testified in the heartiest terms to the value of the work done by Societies in all parts of the Missionfield.” prevent distress, aid diges- or cause pain.

A violinist was playing various airs before the cages of the animals. The bow, which had been passing backward and forward half drowsily, took up a gait that would have distanced one of the deer in the pen by the buffaloes’ yard. Then there was a trifusformation scene in the home of the lioness as rap- id and as complete as that of the tune. The cubs went intoecstacies. They roll- ed about, jumped, fell over one another, raced over their mother’s recumbent body, and danced unrebuked on her head. They ceased their tantrums only with the ceasing of the music. Then they gathered at the front bars of the cage again and silently and pa- thetically pleaded for more. Their plea was successful, and in response to the delicate flattery conveyed by their man- ner the player gave the lullaby once more. They simply sat and listened to it as silently as they had at the first. . The transition to the jig music was once more made speedily. The first note of the lively air had barely left the vio- lin before its riotous contagion had once more canght the cabs. They rol- licked and rolled abort and stopped on- ly when the professor, fearing to tire their little limbs, took his bew from his fiddle and told them they had danced enough for debutantes. The hyena is an uncaany brute. His ver¥ appearance goes a great way to- ward bearing ont charges of graveyard robbery brought against him. He has no music in his soul ner room for any, Sweet sounds are to him so astipodai to everything in his nature that they in- spire him with nothing but fear, and the most abject fear atthat. When Pro fessor Baker tried to interest the two skulking hyenas in his performance on the violin, they began trembling visibly at the first nete’s utterance, and then as the musio swelled they sought the far- thermost side of their prison and tried their best to squeeze their ungainly bod- ies through the bars to escape the mel- ody. —Philadelphia Times. Heroic Treatment of Patients. The hospital physician should bea man of the most thorough methods and the most extreme conservatism. He should be chosen as much for his prac- tical good sense as for his skill in diag- nosing disease. He should be @ maz with intuitions and ought to be able to decide almost at a glance whether a pa- tient is suffering from braig trouble oz alcoholism. , There hive been of late a great many instances where this mistake has been made, and it ig by no means creditable to the hospital authorities when such blunders are made. One of the latest exploits of a hospi- tal doctor was to order a cold bath fora consumptive patient who showed some symptoms of hysteria. Shortly after the bath the woman died. Just why a doc- tor should order such treatment com- mon sense as well as the medical pro- fession would like very much to know. Hospitals are in the main supported by the people, and the people have a right to good treatment and courtesy at the hands of those who are put in charge of such institutions. Failing to receive this, the public has also the right to demand an investigation of the situation and to demand the punish- ment of those who are guilty of such unprofessional and inhuman conduct and that their places be filled by those who are more intelligent and better fit- ted for the duties and responsibilities of such a place.—New York Ledger. Chances For Success In Large Cities. In solving ‘‘Problems ef Young Men’’ Edward W. Bok, in The Ladies’ Home Journal, replying to an inquirer, con- tends that opportunities for promotion (in business) are more numerous in large cities than in smaller commguni- ties, but they are not better. ‘‘There are more chances in the larger cities, but likewise there are more applicants for the chances. Salaries may be high- er in the centers, but so, too, is the cost of living. Things always equalize them- eelves. To my way of thinking, a mod- erate business success in a small com- munity means more toa man in point of living and absolute satisfaction than a greator success ia a larger city.” Catch Fish With Wheels. A curious plan for catching fish is nsed on the Columbia river. A number of wheels are set upinthe middle o? the stream, which, as they turn round, catch up the fish and cast them into troughs by the river banks. The salmon are then tinned and sex all over the world. As much as five tons’ weight of fish a day has thus been taken. —Kansas City Star.

For an international luncheon the name eards might be adorned with a map sketched with pen and ink, and also by a drawing of the national flower of the coun- try represented. If one is so fortunate as to be able to use water colors, the cards can be made most attractive. Each card should contain some question which the one at whose plate it is will read and an- swer, or, if unable to answer, will present to the company for general discussion. For example, under the map of Venezuela may be wvitten, ‘‘When and how did Eng- land first acquire territory here?’’ and on the map of France the question, ‘‘Why did Napoleon antedate the actual time of his birth?’’ Questions in regard tothe people, fiora or fauna of a country may be pro- pounded if desired, and the clever hostess will see that the cards are distributed so that the knowledge and talents of each of her guests may be shown to the greatest advantage. The idea can be developed still further by having foods from the various countries represented, for instance, ‘*French peas,’’ ‘‘Cubap sugar,’’ ‘‘Spanish olives’? and ‘‘Swiss cheese.’’—Ladies’ Home Journal. A Choice ef Three Things. Australian judges make jokes that would hardly pass muster on this side of the equator. One of them recently going on circuit arrived at a town where a clean charge sheet was presented for his accept- ance, accompanied, of course, with the in- evitable pair of white gloves. Having ac- tepted the gift, he returned thanks in these terms: ‘‘This proves that either the district pos- sesses an unusually high standard of mo- rality, orthat there is pething in it worth stealing, or that the police are not active enough to catch criminals.’’ Leaving his hearers in doubt as to whieh of the three alternatives he personally fa- vored, the judge smiled sweetly at the local head of the police force and retired from the bench.—Pearsen's Weekly.

Montreal. CROSSING THE ATLANTIC, fome Hints on Manners It Were Well te Observe at Sea. . The shortness of the voyage has largely killed off the cordiality which is apt to break Out among fellow passengers long at sea together, despite themselves. This short period of good fellowship is not so repugnant to an experienced traveler as to some others if there happen to be agree- able people on board. He does not misun- derstand civility as an effort on the part of the people to make his acquaintance. He knows enough to mind his own business op sea or land. But the man who relaxes conventionalities not at all on shipboard is apt to have a pretty dull time, which, however, is just what a dull man likes. A civil word, a passing remark, or even two remarks, can do a person of tact no harm nor lead to social complications later. A friendly attitude is more sen- sible than standing conspicuously aloof from everything or than repressing all signs of interest in existence or thay rigidly disregarding the fact that any one is on the ship besides oneself, and de fensive airs are generally offensive—at least they are airs. Some Americans seem to think that a haughty demeanor will have the effect of a title upon their fellow passengers. But it generally does not. Sir Walter Scott is credited with repeating Montaigne’s re- mark that every man knew some one thing better than he did, and when he met a stranger, therefore, he engaged him in conversation to find that one thing out. In Scott's day to be acourteous gentleman or a gracious lady under all circumstances was not considered bad form. One of the most popular men I ever saw on shipboard was a New Yorker whose family, whose sociul position and whose public station and influence are most enviable. Wherever he is is the best society. On the tripI have in mind he seemed to have said or done or looked something amiable toward everybody. Yet I don’t believe anybody tried to presume upon his civility then or afterward.— Lewis Morris Iddings in Scrib- Positively cured by these Little Pilis.
