4 Turkish Romance.

\ case somewhat resembling the
famous Tchborne trial, and, in one re-
spect at least, reminding one OF Charles
R-ade's 4" Terrible Temptation" is soon
TO be tried at Constantinople. The
story is romantic enough for novel or
play, and runs thus: There is now in
London Turk aged about % years,
calling himself Mustapha Dehad Bey,
and claiming to be the lawful son of the
late Kibris Mehemet Djehad Pacha, ex.
Grand Vizier, and whilom the Sultans
Envoy to the Court Of st. James. In
lS47,-such is the claimants story
Klbrisli's wife, the widow of European
physician bore 10 him son, the present
Mustapha Djehad Bey. On the follow
ing year the Pacha went TO reside in the
British Court, and during his absence
the child became so seriously i'll that
its mother, fearing that, should it die,
her husband would take another wife,
feigned to give birth to another child,
which, in the knowledge Of a eunuch
and woman of the harem named Fat
nah, was merely suppositious child,
bought or borrowed. But the first-born
recovered, Pacha having already been
told that heaven had blessed him with
another son. The mother was caught
in the tolls she herself had woven, for
Fatmah and the eunuch used their
knowledge OF her deceit to override and
rule her. The mother, Melek Khanum,
became weary of this state of affairs, and
confided her troubles TO Reshid Effendi,
the Pacha's man of business. Fatmah
was soon dismissed, and the eunuch
was smothered in his bath. Madam
Kibrisli was tried for the murder, but
the charge was not substantiated. The
Pacba came to Constantinople during
the progress of the trial, and finding
things in such q state of imbroglio
divorced his wife. The question of the
legitimacy of the first-born then arose,
and Melek Khanum, actuated, as one
now says, by a spirit of revenge for the
divorce and the Pacha's subsequent
marriage, averred that Mustapha Djehad
Bey had been borrowed also. Then the
bay Djehad became wanderer, served
as a mental in Egypt, joined the Papal
Zouaves, became an inmate of the Con-
vent of II. Lazarre, and when his father
died last September went to England
and there proposed to defend his claims
to Kibrisli Pacha's property.

The Words We Use.

1t has been calculated that our Ian
guage, including the nomenclature of
the arts and sciences, contains 100000
words; yet of this immense number it
is surprising how few are in common
use. To the great majority, even of
educated men, threefourths of the
words are almost as unfamiliar as Greek
or Choctaw. Strike from the lexicon
all the words nearly obsolete-all the
words Of special art or professionally
the words confined in their usages TO
particular localities-all the words which
even the educated speaker uses only in
homeopathic doses and it is astonish.
ing into what a Lilliputian volume your
Brobdignagian Webster or Worcester
have shrunk. 1t has been calculated
that a child uses only about one hun
dred words and unless he belongs to
the educated classes, he will never en-
ploy more than three or four hundred.
A distinguished American scholar e-ti.
mates that few speakers or writers use
as many as ten thousand words; ordi-
nary persons, of fair intelligence, not
over three or four thousand. Even the
great orator who is able TO bring into
the field, in the war of words, half the
vast array of light and heavy troops
which the vocabulary affords, yet con
tents himself with far less imposing
display Of verbal force. Even the all
knowing Milton, whose wealth OF words
seems amazing, and whom DR.. johnson
charges with using "a Babylonian dia.
lect,n uses only eight thousand and
Shokespeare himself the myriad.
minded" only fifteen thousand. These
facts show that the difficulty Of master
ing the vocabulary of new tongue is
greatly overrated; and they show, too,
how absurd is the boast of every new
dictionary maker that his vocabulary
contains so many thousand words more
than those of his predecessors.-Lake.

Curious Old CustOm-The Search for
GUY FaWkes.

London Correspondence of 81. Louis Republican.
Among the many quaint old customs
still kept up, even in this nineteenth
Gentry, ia the search for Guy Fawkes.
You probably know that in 1904, in the
reign of James l., there was a diabolical
conspiracy, attributed TO the Papists
whether rightly or wrongly | can't
say J, to blow the King and his Parlia-
ment into mid-air This beneficent
scheme for the rapid transit of his Ma
jesty and courtiers TO another kingdom,
originated among some influential aris-
tocrats, whose zeal for the Romish
Church overcame their estimate of the
value OF human life. These high.
blooded miscreants hired house in the
vicinity of the Parliament building, and
obtained access thereby to the vaults,
which they filed with barrels of powder,
etc. Guy Fawkes, gentleman OF
foreign extraction, but without any
titles, strange TO say, was then commits
stoned to fire the train, and was 10 have
received suitable and elegant com
pensation for his valuable services.
However, Just before the deed was com.
mitted, mysterious letter was handed
TO one OF the principal functionaries,
who Immediately LAID it before the
King. A search was made at once and
friend Fawkes was noticed tripping
about the basement in company with
dark lantern. He was politely re.
quested to move on" and do so. His
colleagues, on hearing that the plot was
discovered, became scared and fled.
Some Of them were captured and in.
stantly put 10 death, and il is believed
that Fawkes himself was among the
number executed, though a report says
he made good his escape and left the
country. Be this as it may, he never
was heard of since, though the formal
inspection of the basement OF the House
OF Commons takes place every year.
Yet 1t is one OF the many observed and
mysterious duties which fall 10 the lot
OF that wonderful state dignitary, the
Lord Great Chamberlain. It's solemnly
enacted that few houas previous to
the assembling Of Parliament this
worthy shall either himself or by deputy
make careful examination OF the
premises below stairs, and with lantern
and sword drawn they shall satisfy
there. The search party consists of
eight or nine beet eaters, rs they are
called, in quaint yarIe-cologed frills and
rosettes, with broad.brinmed hat and
long halbcrts, very relic OF Old days
and two or three marshalmen IN tail
coats, tags, knee brooches and bucllled
shoes, with half dozen ordinary police
men TO remind Us OF the century, form
the group. They 20 through the service
rs seriously as though they really ex-
pected TO pounce upon some unlortu
nate individual. But there is not even
a rat, for the place is brilliantly illumi-
mated and thoroughly cleansed-for
here is all the complicated machinery
for regulating and purifying the air
which legislators have 10 preathe-and
a rather scientific arrangement it is 10.

Dress Plainly on Sunday.

1t would lessen the burdens of many
who find it hard to maintain their
places in society. 1t would lessen the
force of the temptations which often
lead men to barter their honor and hon.
esty for display. If there was less strife
in dress at church people in moderate
circumstances would be more inclined
to attend. Univeral moderation in dress
at church, would improve the worship
of many wandering thoughts. 1t would
enable all classes of people to attend
church better in unfavorable weather.
1t would lessen, on the part of the rich,
the temptation TO vanity. 1t would
lessen, on the part Of the poor, the
temptation to be envious and malicious.
1t would save valuable time on the
Sabbath. 1t would relieve our means
from serious pressure, and thus enable
us to do more good.

Josh Billings DscOurses on Pole Cats.

My friend, did you ever examin the
fragrant pole kat clussly?
i guess not, they are kritter who
won't bear examining with a micro
skope.
They are butiful beings, but oh how
deceptive.
Their habits are phew, but unique.
They bid their houses out oy earth,
and the houses have but one door tew
them, and that il a front door.
When they enter their houses they
don't shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause it
IL not convenient tew kill them with "a
klub, but with pole, and the longer
the pole the more convenient.
Writers on natral history disagree
about the right length ov the pole lew
be used, but would suggest that the
pole be about 800 feet, espeshily if the
wind il in favor ov the pole kat.
When pole kat is suddenly walloped
with long pole the fust thing that he,
she, or it duz, IL tew embalm the air f r
menny miles in diameter, with an akri-
monious ollfaktory reireshment which
permeates the ETHEREAL fluid with an en-
tirely original smell.
This smell il less popular in the fash
i1nable world than lubins extrakt, but
the day may cum when it will be bot
tied up, like musk, and sold for S74
cents per bottle bottles small at that.
A pole kat will remove the filing
from hens egg, without braking q
hole in the shell bigger than marrow
fat pea.
How this IL did, historians hav left us
to doubt.
This IL vulgarly called "surking
eggs"
This IL an accomplishment known
among humans, which it il said they
hay learnt from the pole kats.
Pole kats also deal in chickens, yung
turkeys, and yung goslins.
They won't tutch an old goose, they
are sound on that question.
Man IL the only phellow who will at.
tempt tew blight into an old goose, and
his teeth fly oph a CRATE menny times
before he loosens emmy ov the meat.
a pole kat travels under an alias,
which Is called skunk. There is CRATE
menny aliases that there IL no account
ing for, and this IL one Of them.
nave kaught skunks in trap. They
are easlr to GIT into trap than to git
out ov it.
In taking them out ov a trap CRATE
judgement must be had not tew shake
them up the more yu shake them up
the more ambrosial they am.
one pole kat in township is enuff,
espeshily if the wind changes once in d
while.
a pole kats skin IL wuth > dollars in
market, after it IL skinned, but it IL
wuth 3 dollars and fifty cents tew skin
him.
This IL one way to make II shillines
in a wet day.

The Russian Tradition.

Every faithful Muscovite believes that
some day the Russian flag will float over
the walls of the capital of the Moslem !;
that driving the Turk across the Bos-
phorus into Asia, and roofing out the
Crescent from Europe, are the tradi
tional tasks the Car has TO accomplish
sooner or later. And this belief is not
confined to particular class. The
eyes Of every Russian are turned toward
the minarets of Constantinople, with
the conviction that. the "holy banner "
OF Russia is fated to wave triumphantly
from them. This belief has all along
been encouraged by the successive Rus
sian Governments, each succeeding Car
keeping in mind that he may be the
one to bring to fruition the long
cherished idea of his race. Had not the
jealousy of Russia caused the other Eu-
ropean powers 10 interfere, the En-
peror Nicolas would have carried his
army into Constantinople forty years
ago, and raised again the standard Of
the cross that fell in 1853, at the gate of
st. Romanus, when the last of the
Pat@ologi died in unsuceessfully de-
Tending it against the conquering Turk.
tian monarch of ancient Stamboul, and
in honor OF whom COnstantinople re-
ceived lis present name-has been borne
for several generations 10y the scond son
of the reignmg monarch of Russia. The
name is not of Asiatic or Russian origin,
and it having become the traditional
cognomen of the second male born TO
the Car, would suggest the idea that il
Is continued for some other than mere
personal reasons. The orthodox be.
lieve that, as Constantine established
the Christian religion at Stamboul, its
re-eetablishment will be 10y one bearing
the same name, and who will represent
the Rus ian authority at Constantnople
when that of the Moslem is expelled.
The territory Of the Sultan in Europe,
with the addition Of Wallachia and
Moldav.a. would be a very handsome
patrimony for a Junior branch OF the
house Of RomanoH. But although the
power of the Turks has been consider
ably shorn since the siege of Vienna,
when complete victory was prevented
only by the timely arrival of Sobieski
and his legions, they are not a Frustrated
people Indeed, the "sick man is
displaying considerable vitality, and
the chances Of an easy conquest Of
Turkey do not appear nearly so good as
previous to the death Of Nicholas. In
matters Of religious freedom, the infdel
Sultan has shown much more liberality
than the Christian Gar, every religion
being freely tolerated in the Turkish
dominion, which is not the case in Rus
sia. That the addition of Turkey would
materially increase the power of the
Car is indisputable, but that it would
advance the cause of political and re-
ligious freedom is not so certain.
