Constantinople is the most temperate
capital Of its size in the world. Spend
ing day after day in the open air, wan.
dering among the common folk, having
at one time several people in my employ,
even IN the biting air before daylight
never found any Turk drinking stronger
beverage than coffee. But that is moth.
ing to their great annual fast. During
the Ramadant which lasts a whole
month, from sunrise TO sunset, the pant
ing bostman, the heavy.laden porter will
touch nothing like food, not even tobae-
co, and ne drink whatever; and at san
down viii make up for, this abstinence e
not by drunken earouse, but by larger
dish of pilau and longer smoke of La
takia. To be sure, temperaRce Is a part
Of the Turks religion, but is it not Of
ours ~ And that rshgion-an impostnre
as We call it-hAs something very real in
its worship at four in the morning the
year round, It's indifference to " Infidel -
gaze, the heartiness OF al its observ-
anees, the severity Of its daily selfde-
malls. Often have / found the shop en-
tirely open while the shspman was at his
prayers, and have taken up the goods

and laid them down again without any
interferenee. And how often have /

Thackeraya thought the matter over,

BRAIN WORK.

The Eject Upon RailrOad Officer s..
From the New York World, May 2Oth.l
Mr.. j. Edgar Thompson, the presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany sailed for Europe with his family
by the Cunard steamship Java, yester.
day. At the wharf in Jersey City a
large number of his friends-eminent
railroad Vofficials, lawyers, politicians
and private individuals ls-were present
to bid him farewell 1t is feared by his
friends that he will not return, or that if
he does he will not again be able to un-
dertake the duties of his office. At the
last meeting of the company in March
his resignation was contemplated by him,
but at the solicitation of his friends he
continued to be the nominal head of the
company, and he will undoubtedly con-
tinue to be its president in name.
The overwhelming labors of the past
three years, during which the Pennsyl-
vania Company has made its greatest
strides toward domination-have serious
ly undermined Mr. Thompson's health.
Twice he has been near deaths door
The constant anxiety and overwork at
last having produced softening of the
brain, bis physicians, aud friends warn
ed him to seek relief, and now, upon his
partial recovery, he has permanently
given up control Of the company move
ments. Hereafter Colonel Thomas A.
Scott will be acting President. He, too,
has felt the effects of the labor which
his own and the Pennsylvania Rail
road Companys vast enterprises have
entailed upon him. He has often pre-
sided at meetings of railroad boards
while on a sick bed Recently he has
purchased a country house in the inte-
rior of Pennsylvania, to which he pro-
poses to retire for an occasional week IS
rest, and where he will refuse attention
to any business whatever. The minor
Offices Of the company have also been
decimated of their most efficient men.
Henry j. Lombeart, the second vice
president, has utterly lost the use of his
faculties 1t was the intention of Mr..
Thompson TO take him with him TO Eu-
rope, but it has been found necessary to
place him in an asylum. Over-work
has been the cause of his failure, too,
and in his loss the company sustains a
almost as irreparable as would
be the loss of Colonel Scott. Mr.. Lom-
beart has been known to all the railroad
world as one of the most efficient and
sagacious of managers. Henry W.
Gwinners the general passenger agent,
has resigned, to escape the duties which
the lease Of the limited railroads have
increased and rendered more perplexing
than ever. .l,a .,'.-'
A new race Of men must shortly 6ll
the places Of those who built up the
the most powerful railway corporation Of
the world. The last one remaining is
Colonel Scott, and is feared that he
too must succumb. van a

canvas coverings are removed, the tires,

the dust or mud removed from the
