lleman watching her assiduously with

some embarrassment on her part, es-
peciaIIy when she found he persisted in
his impertlnence; and in the end, she
was glad TO find relief from the annoy
ance, by u.ning her back fairly upon
him and looking another way. She
had confused idea, that while thus oc-
cupied, some one in the crowd brushed
close against her. Shortly alter she die
covered that her porte monnaIe was gone
She had no doubt, from that moment
that The person who stared at her 20
rudely. was the confederate Of pick

annoyed, in order that, during her eln.

The GREEK CHURCH IN TuRkEY. AS
the chief point at issue at the presen,
momen, between Turkey and Russia re-
la,es to the Greek church, it may be in
teresting to glance at the state Of things
as theyexist in the aforementioned coun-
try. According to returns made as lar
back AS 1914, Constantinople alone con-
tained 1877 900 Greeks and 100000 Ar.
memans, whilst the entire population
returned under those two heads as sub
jects Of the Porte amounted to l0,73O,-
o0Q. The Greek clergy snite spiritual
and temporal authority the following
are some OF their privileges The Pa
triarch Of Cons,an,inople is the present
head Of the Greek nation in Turkey I;
he presides over the Synod, decides
without appeal all civil and religious
cases referred to him, and he, as well as
the l2 metropolilans ol his church, is
exempt from the tax known rs Haradi,
or capta,ion tax. BY virtue Of their
position, the archbishop and bishops are
members Of the municipal council. The
Patriarch, the archbishop, and the bish.
ops, preside over the council, which
fixes the amount OF taxes TO be paid by
the Greek nation. The cad 9 and 9TH
er government officials are constrained
to carry out the judicial sentences pro-
nounced by the Patriarch with regard to
the Greek Christians, and also those oi
the archbishops within their diocese,
and to assist the clergy in the mainten-
ance OF their rights and in collec ting
their revenues. BY law the Patriarch
and me,ropolitans levy tax Of 10 per
cent, upon the amount involved in eve
ry case brought before them, they have
absolute power to fix all indeu nifca-
tions, to award imprisonment, corporeal
punishment or exile, and they eau, and
