D
Mu,chir becomes excited, you can plainly
discern the latent fro within glaring through
his counisuancc. His nose is Of ,ha, form
which the French charmingly denominaies as
"rcfrowse," which in German dcrcncraics
into "SiumpfHars" whilst the only word
which our vernacular supplies for the de'-
crip,ion Of such gTobosces-wiih shame and
sorrow do lranscrlbc it's "snub" His
mouth is well formed, and his thick lips are
no, unircquenlly wIeathcd iuto a sardonic
smile, reminding us Of Macbeth, "bui when
he smiles, he smiles In such sort" which
still, however, reveals two lows of white and
regular teeth. Although no one call him eI.
aeily handsome. there is something striking
ahou, the man. lie has a frank and manly
carriage, but looks prudent withal, and when

A. YOU NAV suppose, his dress is Turkish
that Is to say, he wears a fcr, and m ordi-
nary occasions the common blue military
Turkish frock.coat, which closely resembles
the old Prussian cavalry uniform. lie wears
no cpauleucs, though the bands mark their
whereabouts un his shoulders. lie wears his
uniform generally open, simply held together
by single button al the waist, revealing a
wais,roa, or snowy whtsncss, and 4 shir, and
collar of the same pure hue. Lord Cardigan
himself will paw a tribute to the Gu, of the
Muschir's trousers, and poor D'orsay would
have told YOU at glance that his admirably
built coat was the olsCd'gurre Of Vienna
artist.
Thus aitired, Omcr Pacha looks more like
a European Than Turkish general by the
the care ana attention bestowed by him on his
dress, it is evidcn, that he lays much stress
on the eiTrc, which his appearance may pro

Thus, you see, he tries to conciliaic all classe'
by adopting portion ofthc costume Of each
but he is evidently as proud Of his appearance
as young ensign, when he first cliuers or

a certain s,raining for effect. He is alwayi
an actor, with hm "lilc's bu, stage - an,
assurcdly, during the last six months no play

interview with him leaves pleasing imPrcs
sion, your second does not destroy the FIRST
bu, eonyiuccs yon that he is an excelleh
actor.
You will find him rcposing on his dran
or sola, discarding the lailor,or Turkish fash
ion, the legs tucked beneath the body bot one
leg thrown over the other. The trhibouqu,
inhis hand. is with him playthinc whereas
with the Turks i, is an object Of solemn soil

and bid yon welcome after a fashion unknown

to do YOU special honor, he will scat you by
his side, and then clappinG his hands, the at
icndants will enter with pipes and coffee. u
you decline tho former, he will assure You
that smoking is indispensable during a cam
paign. You talk to him Of Turkish affairs
aud the probable resul, Of the conflict; he
smiles ironically, and says all will end vel
but he snecrs that all will not so on very
smoothly
Talk to him Of the Turkish army, his face
lights up at once tits the object Of his par

Tor he knows it was that his name become

DAYS which he passed as Commander.ln-Chie

campaign OF 1913, when, side by side will

astounding. You know that on one occasion
in the depth Of winter, he rode from the
mouutains IN Montenegro 10 Shumla, in nine
DAYS, rcconoiiring on his way the whol'
neishborhood Of Sophia. HIS constitution Is
so hardened by exposure, that there is nc

To behold him to advantage, you should
