WoMAE's INFLUENCE. .- Woman's in
nuence depends largely upon herpower Of
charming. A frowsy woman may pos
sibly be morally very excellent, bat her
influence will be far less than that of II
fascinating sinful sister. 1t is time that
women understood that beauty, grace,
culture and every feminine attraction
may be made powerful for good. Tho
representative French women cultiyates
and preserves her charms to pander TO n
personal vanity that longs for continued
aduintion and adorers. The American
woman OF the deaf m0H3e pursues the
esme course regarding outward charms.
But i. is left to a few noble, nppreclatlVe,
lovely women TO grow old beautifully and
gracefully; to make for Themselves places
in the heart auG esteem OF men and en-
trench themselves in the stronghold of
their purcst love SO firmly that no rival
can dethrone them. Their song are their
ardent lovers. Aged men retain for them
all the admiration. respect and gallantry
Of their youth and the young men rev
erence them and hope their own young
loves may live to be as lovely as they.

THE TURKISH PRAYER.

Twelve o'clock is the hour of prayer
The call of the Muezzin is heard from
every minaret Of the hillside and of :he
valley beyond, which is Turkish quar-
ter of the town, and some amongst tho
laborers respond to the call, leaving work
to rub their hands and feet with earth in
default of water, according to the injunc-
tions OF the Koran. There is little hill
lock covered with fresh blades of grass
and tangled wild flowers; It stands back
from the pathway and poor workman
chooses the spot in order to perform there
his namaz" without interruption no
has no prayer carpet he simply t1rns
toward Mecca and begins his devo.ions.
Every change of attitude in the Mussul-
man prayer has n special meaning, being
accompanied by pious phrases and ejac.
ulatons it may therefore be interesting
to note his movements, although the mur
INJURED words are, Of course, quite insudi
ble. He stands at first upright, with HE
arms hanging down, his bare feet litile
apart next the hands arc raised, open,
on each side of the face, the thumb touch
ing the hobo Of the ear that il the intro
duction. The worshipper begins prayer
by placing hs hands together, tho right
upparmost then bows low from tho waist,
his hands sllghtly spread upon his knees.
then raises himself for moment and af-
forwards lnees down, and with his hands
ON tho ground beneath him touches IL
with his nose and forehead without rails
ing he then sinks backward-thiS howing
is performed twice-after which he risos
in one movement (his feet still remaining
in the samo spoU, and stands again the
right hand clasping tho left, and all pre-
vious attitudes are repeated four or I've
times. At ono period of his devotions.
tho worshippor sitting back, turns his
head first ovor the right shoulder then

to be addressed to the good ard evil an

FIGuTISG ON TEA.-The Russian SOL
diers are said to live and fight almost
wholly upon ten. The Cossachs often
carry it about in the shape OF bricks, or
rather tiles, which, before hardening, ara
soaked in sleeps blood, and boiled milk,
with tho addition OF -four, butter and salt,
so as to constitute a kind of soup. Tho
passion of the Russian for this beverage
is simply astounding. In the depth OF
vinte- he will empty twenty cups In sue
cession, at nearly boiling point, until no
perspires at every pore, and then, in n
state Of intense excitement, rush out, roll
in the snow, get up, and go on to the next
similar place of entertainment. So with

LOSS OF PERSONAL IDENTITY

When Dan Rice was most popular as
clown it was one ofhis lavorite jests to Ia
ment the fact that he was not positive as
to his own identity. He had reason, he
said. to fear that he was not himself, but
somebody else, that in infancy he had
been removed from his cradle and car
ricd away he knew not where, while an
other baby had been placed in his stead.
II weep sometimes" he said, "to think
what | may b. enduring of poverty and
wrrtcheduc-s without knowing It, and
would give anything to know where am
and who nm
l. appears thai the c'owu', lament wa

have a,trac'ed tn attention lately. which

man was found dead. and at M inquest

swore that the corp.e wn> thnt Of their
father After the rnnn had been buried
and the fact published IN lheuewspspers,
h came to New York from Nj, home ia

with two copies Of the man, So to speak
on hi hapds. One of them he hud bur

The second case WAS still stranger. A
man wa. taken to n Brooklyn Hospital
for treatment, and be there registered his
name a Roht. Mortor, of No. 40 Beach
street, New York. He related also The
rather singular story of his life After
while his friends began to call upon
him, but they agreed in insisting that the
man who called himself Robert Morton,
and who gave what they knew to be a
correct AM biography of Robert Morton,
was not Robert Morton at all, but some
other person, to them, MS apparently to
himself also unknown. This leaves the
poor man without name or personal idcn-
titv, and his case is hnrd one he be-
il'''h lIiil4~t7lt W A' ililifll hOl lilu ullll
otherwise informed. and now he does not
know who he is. Unless some friend
shall appear who can enlighten him on
this point, he must always remain mys
tory to himself.
In view of these facts il is worth while
to ask whether we shall not have to tat
too trademarks upon our bodies for oui
protection against base and worthless
imitNtions," with which unscrupulous
rivals may at any tine " food the mar

THE OPIUM EDICT. The poppy grow
by the cdct OF the Chinese Emperor, who
has declared against further importation
Of opium, which he says ia ruinous to his
conntrymen. Thirty-fvo years ago tho
British Government inougurated war
against the Celestial Empire for precise
" similar action, and she compelled the
Chinese at the point Of the bayonet TO ad-
nit the poisonous drug without rcstric-
ton, and they have enjoyed the danger
Gus luxury since that tmo. Tho evils of
opium smoking are not unknown TO tho
Chinese residents Of this State and not
few Americans bNve already become nd
dictcd to the pornicious habit. The OPP
um War OF 1872 was occAsloned by rea-
son of the seizure and destruction Of sev-
eral million dollars worth Of the drug by
the Emperor. England made II treaty Mt
the close Of the war by which the Chi
nose Government countermanded the or
der and paid the English Government for
tho opium destroyed. Since thnt time the
uso OF opium in the Chinese Empire has
been as general as that Of tobacco in
America, and millions of Mongoinn3
have been ruined physically and mental
ly. SO dobased have the people become
that the Emperor has again declared that
tho farther use Of the narcotic must 5s
dispensed with. Concerning this tho
Sacramento RccOrd Union asks;
VIII England, for tho second time, un-
dertake to force her poison upon an un-
offending people, who only stipulate for
the right to defend themselves against the
free introduction among them ofa mn
terialized pestilence VIII that Chris
tian Government again send It's fleets To
Canton and Nanling, to suppress all cf-
forts at cnfrarchisement from the opium
plague ? There has been some advance
made in intelligence since 1912, and it is
jus: possible that public opinion may bs
more sensitive now than then, but tho
occasion affords full and unans worable
test OF the practical value Of Christianity.
and in this light the action OF England
will assuredy be awaited with curiosity.
