TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF THE TURKS.
Probably the world abroad has
but faint appreciation of the hor-
rors which the present war between
Russia and Turkey has caused. It
has been terrible enough in its
effects upon Russia, in which all the
relatives and friends of eighty thous.
and men who have lost their lives in
the fierce campaign have been called
upon to mourn for them; saying
nothing of tho manned and incurably
sick which the war has made. But
the world has not been told how
many of the brave Turkish soldisry
have been cut down during the fierce
charges which they have made. or
have resisted, and the many more
than those who have fallen in battle
have died from the other casualties
and kinds : nd grades of sickness
which always march in the track Of
an afmy. But the most pitable con-

NEcEssAR1Es AND LUxURIEs.-
success which attends certain kinds
of business is exemplifed by the
following: A few years ago a gen.
tleman we'll known in the city
opened a very handsome grocery
store, filed with q large stock, in an
eligible location. He paid strict at
tention to business, being q sober
and industrious man, but after a
couple of years experience he became
nearly bankrupt, for the reason that
he did too large credit business,
too much standing on his books and
too little coming in. He dealt in
the necessaries of life, just exactly
what people required to sustain ex-
;isteuee, and when poor families
came along and stated their condi-
;tion, he found it impossible to refuse
them credit. In fact he discovered
after fair trial that be was unquali-
fed for the business, being unable
to nse the word "no," when the &C.
casion demanded an emphatic mega
tive. Finally he concluded to try
another branch of trade, sold out
the grocery and began to sell beer.
He found the change a profitable
one, and counts his profits for the
year Just ended Q little more than
%, 900. As beer is one of the luxu-
aies of life and can be easily dis
yensed with, he finds it an easy mat
ter to say no." unless the custom
er has the cash to pay for what he
wants- But in this case he il seldom
troubled. for Is he saws s. The very

E In Paris the care Of fingers is
q trade. Olive Logan says that she
visited q manicure rooms, out Of
curiosity, and found them crowded
with men and women awaiting their
turn. The dress and bearing of all
present indicated their position, and
III almost every case it was one of
social importance. After a tedious
waiting Olive = turn came, and she
seated herself by the manicure's
little table, upon which were scat
tered the tools OF her trade. These
were scissors and knives of a shape
specially devised for the trimming of
the nails, files, nail cleaners, a small
basin of rose water with a bit of soap
near it, the towel of linen cambria,
a bit of lemon, and various polishing
and sweet smelling unguents in the
form of ruby colored pomades. The
first step in her proceedings was to
wash off the finger tips carefully,
then to dry them, after assuring her
self that there were no other stains
upon them. Then she clipped and
trimmed the nails into the approved
filbert shape, neither too long, nor
too pointed, nor too broad; the
half moons" at the base of the nails
were gently brought into clear light;
and rubbed colored pomade of adal6'
cious odor upon the nails and The
upper part of all the fingers. After
allowing this to remain a little while
she wiped it off again, and scattered
upon the nails a golden brownish
powder, which she vigorously rubbed
with the whole length of her power
full forefnger, occasionally aided by
the palm. More pomade, more
powder, more rubbing, and then
the nails shown with that beautiful
CLEAN upon them, that pearly pink
ness, seen in the interior of some
delicate sea shells. The charge was
forty sous.

A LoAFKRs' PARADISE. Ohio
State Journal publishes a letter from
General Comfy, in which Honolulu
is sketched with free and easy hand,
as o loafers' paradise. The natives,
he writes, are the most careless,
improvident laughter-loving people
in the world. They have no winter
to lay by for-even the proverbial
rainy day needs nothing there; so
they dance and sing, and deck them
selves with garlands of the loveliest
flowers and green leaves hanging in
festoons around the neck and shoal-
ders down the body, around the hat,
everywhere. These men are not the
tops and loafers OF the race, but the
Woodworking fellows the herds

men, 60 about adorned in the most
exquisite taste, with flowers and
leaves wreathed into forms of beau

The foe of American social life is 10
the tendency to luxury and effeminacy
among the well-to.do young women Of
our American cities and large towns.
They do not realize how this dreadful
mania for expensive plea ures and q
life Of alternate idleness ard atnuse
msnt is destroying their health, abolish
ing true marriage. feeding the flame Of
gross sensuality and incompetence
among young men. and saddening the
hopes of the best parents OF the land.
Some Of them will never know it in
this world. But most of them have no
real purpose TO waste their lives in this
wretched way. And it is high crime
in mothers. teachers, ministers of relig-
ion sRd the public press to pander TO
this insanity. Thousands Of good heart
ed young girls are sacrificed every year
when little wise and loving guidance
could save them. But we feel that
they should be told that unless they
change this life they will pass away
like the flowers of June, and q more
hardy and resolute class occupy tbe;.
places. American society will shed
every class of trifers. male or female.
that does not do its work, as the forests
shed their withered leaves Let them
awake from their dream Of social indul-
gences; learn to live out Of doors; to
build up their health; to cultivate more
simple tastes in dress. and more modera-
ton in pleasure. study domestic econo-
my; study social skill aud tact; fit them.
selves for the noblest positions ever yet
offered to their sex, and learn that
woman is the soul of American life, lot
the tinsel on its garment.

Mr.. Alexander Jameson, of Berlin,
in Australia, has constructed 4 buggy
consisting exclusively OF iron and steel.
In place Of hickory spokes and oak fell
loe., he has employed wrought iron
tubes and T iron. The tubes fit into the
axle-b box at one end and are riveted to
the T iron at the other. The first No.
ticeable effect has been to add to the
weight of the vehicle. This has accrued
in spite of the thinness of the parts. The
cost also has been enhanced. The extra
weight is not considered important by
the maker, in view of the strength which
must result from the use of iron in place
of wood, nor should it be felt, once a
start is made, except in the ascent of
hills. Strength and durability are re-
garded as a full equivalent for the in
crease of cost. The vehicle has neat
look, and an appearance, if not a reali
tv, of lightness, which renders it attrac-
tive.
