Every man thinks newspaper a fair
game. If society or any body of men
get up a concert or ball, or any other
form of entertainment, the object of
which is to put money in their own
pockets, or, if the proceeds are to be de-
voted to charitable purposes, to add to
their own glorifcation, they become
very indignant if the proprietors of
newspapers do not assist them with a
series of gratuitous advertising for sew
eral weeks before the event takes place.
These men, says an exchange, should
remember that literary men, in this
practical age, work for money as well as
for fame-principally the former, how
ever-and the business manager of a
newspaper, if he wishes to keep on the
safe side of the ledger, conducts his
charge on the same principle as the
head of any other business establish
ment. People who are getting up ball
would feel chary of asking present Of
a pair of gloves from a merchant on that
account. vet asking and expecting to re-
eeive a gratuitous advertisement is
similar demand. The editor of the
Marlboro (Mass.) Journal stated the case
very plainly when he informed his
readers that, "We long ago adopted the
plan of charging our regular reading
notice price for all editorial announce
ments of entertainments to which an
admission fee is fixed. We make no
exceptions to this rule. In the way Of
new topics, We freely and gladly insert
sketches of all entertainments after they
have become matters of history. 1t is
only the preliminary work, looking to
the drawing out of increased patronage
from the public for which We expect
compensation" 1t costs money to con-
duct paper, and printing offices must
have support, the same as churches OF
charitable institutions,

Col. F. D. Curtis thus writes on the
desirability of mutton. Thirty years
ago but few fat sheep went into the
markets. Now more than a million are
required annually to supply the de-
great staple meat food of the cities Is
beef, while in the country districts it is
the flesh of swine. Farmers cannot
keep whole carcasses of beef on hand,
and if preserved in salt, as they do their
pork, it soon gets hard and unpalatable.
A carcase of mutton being so much
smaller, even in hot weather a consid-
cradle portion of it can be used fresh
and the balance picked in salt. Mutton
will keep longer in a fresh state than
any other meat, and when corned is
equally nutritious with beef, and far
more wholesome than pig meat in any
form. For persons of sedentary habits,
and at all afflicted with weak digestion,
a great deal more healthy than beef or
pork. Many people who cannot digest
either of the latter without distress, can
eat mutton and experience no unpleas-
antness whatever. tits the cleanest and
purest meat food in the whole animal
kingdom, as a sheep will starve before it
will eat any thing dirty or tainted.
Mutton wastes less in the pot than beef.
The bones are lighter and finer in pro-
portion to the amount of meat in we'll
fed sheep, and this alone is an important
item to those who have to buy. The
less shrinkage in cooking is a consider
able percentage in favor of mutton.
The great reason why more mutton is
not eaten is because Of its poor quality,
which is the result of no general system
practised in the production of this i'm
portant staple.

Turkish H5Nes.

First among the Turkish social topics
is that Of the harem. The Koran allows
8 Mussulman to have four wives and
many persons have consequently i'm
agined that polygamy is the rule in
Turkey, whereas it is the exception. A
Mussulman may only have as many
wives as he can keep in comfort; and
it is only the very rich who can afford
four. The middle-class Turks have only
one wife apiece; the men of the lowest
class are often obliged to remain single
from not having the means to support a
consort in the style which the Moslem
law enjoins. Nothing can be more un-
Turkish than the Mormon ideas of accu-
mulating a number of women to live
under one roof, quarrelling in the kitchen
and parlor, and acting as household
drudges for their husband. The Turkish
wife is not a slave the chief fault to
find with her is that she has too lofty
sense of her own dignity. An advocate
of female rights would have some difa-
Guilty in persuading her that her lot was
pitiable; she has never envied the
emancipation of Christian women,
whose free ways shock her; while she
has noticed that they get much less re-
spect from the men of their faith than
that which is invariably vouchsafed to
herself She wells her face with no
more regret than Western lady unveils
her shoulders. Turkish women are not
shut up. They 90 out when they please,
attended by their odaliks if rich, or
holding their children by the hand and
their magpie voices I'll the bazaars, for
they are noisy takers. Whenever they
pass, men of all creeds stand aside def
erentially. If husband meets his wife
IN the street, he makes no sigh of rec
ognition; if he perceives her hating
before draper's stall and gazing signih-
,.antly at silk dearer than he can afford,
he must possess his soul in resignation,
muttering "Mashallah." This respect
for women prevails also in the home
circle, and it comes naturally to the Mus
sulman, who has been taught from his
boyhood to behave eourteously to the
softer sex. The Western conjugal ex-
preston about wearing the breeches"
has its Turkish counterpart in the phrase
TO ''live under the slipper" and it is to
be feared that not few Turks know the
taste of this implement of uxorial per-
suasion. A hamal (street porter once
came before cadi to complain that his
wife trounced him too frequently. "See
what mine doe" answered the nlagis-
trate, opening his gown and showing
some Yeals upon his neck and shoulders.

Biz Words.

Big words are great flvorites with
people of small ideas and weak coneep--
tions. They are sometimes employed
by men of mind, when they wish 70 use
language that may best conceal their
Thoughts. With few exceptions, how
ever illiterate and half-educated persons
use more 'big words" than people Of
thorough education. 1t lisa very common,
but egTegious, mistake, to suppose the
long words are more genteel than the
short ones-just as the same sort of peo-
pie imagine high eolors and hashy
figures improve the style of dress.
These are the kind of folks who don't
begin, but always Commence" They
don't live but "reside." They don't 60
to bed, but mysteriously "retire." They
don't eat and drink, but "partake of re-
freshments." They are never sick, but
extremely indisposed% and, instead of
dying, at last, they "decease." The
strength Of the English language is in
the short words-chiefy monosyllables
Of Saxon derivation; and people who
are in earnest seldom use any other.
Love, hate, anger, grief, and Joy express
themselves in short words and direct
sentences; while cunning, falsehood,
and affectation delight in what Horace
calls verba sesquipedalia-words "a foot
and half" long

Lunafcs do not SHED Tears.

One Of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence Of tears amid the insane. What
ever the form of madness, tears are con-
spieuous by their absence, as much in
the depression of melancholy, or ex-
oitement of mania, as in the utter
apathy of dementia. If patient in a
lunatic asylum be discovered in tears. it
will be found that it is one beginning
to recover, or an emotional outbreak in
an epileptic who is scarcely truly insane,
while actual insane persons appear to
have lost the power of weeping, It is
only returning reason which can once
mole unloose the fountain of their tears.
Even when a lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she has been de-
prived of her children, or the outrages
That have been perpetrated to herself.
her eye is never even moist. The
ready gush of tears which accompany
the plant of the sane woman contrasts
strangely with the dry-eyed appeal of
the laxative lunatic. 1t would, indeed,
seem that tears give relief to feelings
which, when pent up, lead to madness.
1t is one of the privileges of reason 70
be able to weep. Amid all. the misery
Of the insane they find no relief in
tears.

M. Paul Gustave DOre was born al
Strasbourg forty-fye years ago, and as
child sent to Paris, and there, while
yet student gave signs of that marvel
lous facility in drawing which he has
since so astonishinely developed. He
became a thorough Partisan. With all
quickness and handiness, the keen intel
igence and the splendid super6ciality
which the French capital produces in ifs
sons, he had flashes of genius beyond
the ordinary, and at Is he was already
challenging attention by his drawing in
the Journal pour Rire, while at the same
time he attempted fame by exhibiting
pen and ink sketches at the Salon. At24
he made a success in the world by his ex-
cellent fantastic illustrations to Balzsc's
Comics DroIatiqltes, perhaps the most note
worthy of all his achievements Mean
ame he was boldly ransacking heaven
and earth, and the poets, ancient and
modern, for subjects. Nothing came
amiss to him: nothing was too little for
him to embellish with fancy; nothing
too great for him to attempt with bold
ness. He had painted and exhibited
without intermission an incredible num-
Der of square yards of canvas, he is now
the first professor extant of sensational
art, and there is not turn or device for
producing effects which he has not eX-
hausted with much success and great
