Even the Warm Spring Indians, who have
heretofore been strong friends Of the govern

How Turks House is Divided

A Turkish house is divided into two
parts-the selamlik for the men, the
haremlik for the women; and the latter
has as many separate suites of apartments
as there are ladies. A Turk who has but
one wife may require large haremlik if
his mother and sister live with him, for
each of these ladies must have her pri-
vate set of rooms and servants for her sepa-
rate use. There must be no crowdine and
no mixing of domestics in we'll ordered
establishment; so that if there be four
wives they need never see 'one another
unless they please. The first wife is called
the hanun, and takes precedence over the
others all her life. She has & right to
the best rooms and to a fixed share of
her husbands income, which he must not
reduce to minister to the caprice of his
younger spouses. As these points have
generally been settled through the ulemas
Or priests before the ,77edding, hanuu's
jointure is as safe as that of q French
woman who has had contract drawn nm
by a notary.
During the last twenty years monog-
amy has become more and more the
rule nong Turks of the highest class,
and even among those who have two or
three wives, the banup has gradually
come to be regarded as having the same
rank as the wife in an English or Ameri-
can house. She visits and entertains the
hanuns Of other gentlemen, but keeps
aloof from wives Of the second and other
degrees. These are not equals in her
sight, being generally ladies of lower
social ste tus. who have not brought any
dowry to their husband. Time was when
pasha would take four wives of an
equal degree, all being daughters Of the
other pashas or of the Sultan and all
richly portioned, but manners have alter
ed in this respect at all events, in the
European part of Turkey. 1t must not
be supposed however, that hanun
cherishes any such jealous hatred Of her
fellow-wives as is felt by a wife who sees
her husband fiirt with strange women,
She is content with the largest share OF
her husbands respect, without demand
ing his exclusive devotion.

Foreign train Markets.

LONDON, July 2,-The Mark Lane Exp,ess
says there is adecided change for tho better in
the appearance of the growing wheat, which is
aow in full blaom, At first sight the fields
seem to promise large crop, but in maty
fields the ears are small With the exception
OF barley and. oats, appearances at present
point to q fair average yield Of cereals, rs far
as quantity Is concerned, while the quality is
likely to be mediocre. Insignificant supplies
OF English wheat at Marx Lane and provincial
markets indicate a rapid depletion Of stacks in
farmers hands, and that little or not any will
be left over at harvest time. Imports of for
eign wheat into London have been more mod
ate Of late, but the supplies 60 into the grain
airy rather than consnmption, Small lots of
white wheat have been taken off the stands
for continental account, principally for
Belgium and north of France. where the crops
are unsatisfactory and prices several shillings

Useful Hints.

10 Take Out MiIdew.-Get the dryest
chloride Of lime you can buy, and, for
strong fabrics, dissolve four tablespoon
fuls of it in one pint of water Let the
mildewed article lie in this solution
fifteen minutes. Take it out, wiring it
gently, and put immediately into
weak muriatic acid, one part acid and
four parts soft water. For delicate fab
RIGS the solution of lime should be made
much weaker; three Or four times the
quantity of water should be put 20 the
lime, Let the article lie in it only five
minutes, and then put it into the muri-
atci acid.
Fzovor Of Tea and Cotee.- The tea or
coffee pot used for steeting should be kept
as clean and bright inside as out; after
cotinual stepping thin coating collects
around the sides and on tine bottom of the
sleeper, which becomes rank in taste, and
therefore impregnates the fresh tea or
coffee; spelling its delicate flavor. Have
the steepers ,bri ghtened inside at least
once a week; throw in teaspoonful of
pulyerised borox, FIJI nearly full of water,
and let it bell fifteen or twenty minutes;
then scour the coating or discoloration
off using rulvcrized borax and very lit
tie soap; rinse with hot water.
The Hoir.-German women of the
better classes are universally noted for
fine and luxuriant hair, and this is the
way they manage it: About once in
fortnight boil tor an hour or more large
handful Of bran III quart of soft water;
then strain it into a basin, and cool till
tepid. Rub into it little white soap,
then dip in a soft cloth AMI wash your
head thoroughly, parting aside the hair
all over, SO as to reach the roots. Next
take the yoik Of an egg, slightly beaten
and with yourfngers rub; it we'll into the
scalp. Let it resta few minutes, then
wash off, entirely with a, cloth dipped in
pure water, and rinse the hair we'll till
egg has all disappeared. Afterward wipe
and rup dry, and comb the hair upward
from the head. Then oil slightly if need

may be prepared FROM the following form

II Case of Cold Tea,sDern3,,ent..

A case is reported of man freezing to
death the other day near Meridian, Miss. !,
from exposure to the weather, and the sum-

degrees where the freezing was done. He
was young man named James Knox who
presented this anomaly in nature. He had
been suffering with cold continually for
about year, and required heavy wraps and
big fires to exist at all. In the meantime
the temperature OF his body was nearly
normal, and he was otherwise healthy and
fresh looking. At home he was accustomed
to wrap his head up in clothes and hold it
in . blazing fire until the clothes were al
most burned off, to get temporary relief. He
sat by the fire all the time, and resorted to
various expedients to get warm and keep,
warm, but he always felt as if he were freez-
ing. The family doctor was greatly puzzled
over the case, and recommended him to
visit another physician living distance in
Livingston. The only question was whether
be could make the trip without freezing to
death. But he managed to make II, loaded
