THE DOG SCATENGERS OF CONSTAN
NOBLE.

The dogs of Constantinople have had
worldwide notoriety fer years, yet few
people realize the degree of good and evil
to which these beasts can attain. 1t is
supposed by many that the dog is a
sacred animal with the Turks; but this,
/ think, can not be the fact, for the
Turks use the expression, DOG of a
Giaour," as one of intense reproach, and
he would not employ the name of the
dog in that connection if it were a sacred
animal. Neither does he take any care
of the innumerable beasts which roam in
the streets; he simply let's them alone.
Steal as they may and do, the good Mus
sulman contents himself with shaking
his fist at the thief. The reason for this
immunity from punishment is, that they
form the only corps of scavengers that
Constantinople possesses, and in this lies
their only good quality yet it is one of
such consequence that no ons, having
seen: the intense filth of the people, would
regret the presence of this useful race of
nuisance. The beast lies bsyond my
powers of description; indeed, book
might be written about him without ex-
posing more than a small portion of his
villainous character. As Artemus Ward
would have said, he is compound of
"pure cusse dness' and willy duplicity.
Call to mind the ugliest, meanest, most
treacherous, dirty and famished "yaller
dog" you ever knew, multiply every
one of his worst qualities by ten, aud
you will have some faint idea of mild
type of the Constantinople dog. They
have their own districts and routes of
travel, as regularly established as one of
your Chicago north side lunch fends !;
and woe be to the dog who strays into a
strange district at is not simply that
he is pounced upon, bitten, towzled,
clicked" and allowed to go home-eh,
no. That dog never goes home.
He is quietly eaten up by those into
whoes districts he has ventured; and,
when they have polished his last bone,
they look longing across the line, and
wish that a few more juicy young friends
would drop in to dinner, in order that
the meal might be thus provided for.
Neighborly fellows, these dogs!

HISTORY OF A PICTURE.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the same
city. One delighted in delineating beauty
in all its graces of tint form, and motion.
HIS portraits were instinct with the charm of
physical vigor. The graceful, half-voluptu-
Gus outline of form and feature harmonized
with delicately blended tints. On his can
vas, the homeliest faces had an almost ire
sistible charm. The other found pleasure
only in depicting weird and gloomy subjects.
Above all, did he excel in painting the por
traits of the dying. The agonizing death
throe, the ghastly face and form, were all
depicted with marvellous fidelity. There
existed between these artists the most in
tense dislike. At length this dislike cul-
minated. The beauty-loving artist had been
engaged in painting the portrait of beauti-
full woman. Connoisseurs pronounced it the
most wonderful piece of art that had ever
been produced. His brother artist was jeal-
Gus Of his fame and sought revenge. By
bribing the keeper of the studio he gained
access to the picture each night. At first he
was content TO only deaden the brilliancy OF
the complexion and eyes, efiace the bloom
from cheek and lip and paint shadow on
either cheek. Later, his strokes grew holder
and freer, aud one morning the artist awoke
to find the entire outline of the portrait
changed. He could scarcely recognize in
ance the glowing conception he had en-
bodied. The pallid face and expressionless
ewes he had attributed TO lack of genuine
| ness in his materials; but when the outlines
! were changed he suspected the cause and
| Indignantly dismissed the keeper. What
the revengeful artist marred by few rapid
strokes Of his skillful brush was only re-
stored by years of patient industry. Reader,

The popularity of Messrs. James s. Kirk &
Co.'s soaps, manufactured in Chicago, is
shown by the unprecedented sale which their
goods have reached during the year 1876. This
by far is the largest soap manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States, producing and sell.
ing in all parts of this country, from the Red
River of the North to New Orleans, and from
pounds annually. No so-called greases enter
into these soaps. Only pure refined tallow and
vegetable oils are used, containing no adul.
teration. Fair and square weights always re-
liable. This is why their soaps are SO popular
with all good and economical housekeepers.
