Drinkfng.Water in Turkey.

The Turks are as great connoisseurs OF
drinking water as western Europeans are
of wine. To suit particular tastes the
water sellers at Constantinople supply
the beverage by the names of the sources
from whence it has been procured. The
water of the catchment basins of rain
water, known locally by the name OF
"Ta1iom the Pera reservoir) though
muddy is not nnwholesome, and when
allowed to settle, or if filtered, it is held
in great esteem, as is also the water from
the Cara Koulak, a spring near Tokat,
on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus,
and that from Tchamadja, near Scutari.
A copious spring at Beicos, also on the
Asiatic side, supplies the shipping at
Constantinople. The water at Kanli-
KAYAK spring, near Arnaout Kioy, is
perhaps the purest spring water in the
world, for by careful analysis it has
proved to rank next in purity to distilled
water. Two sources in the Valley Of
Roses, beyond Buyukdere, called Fun
dulih and Kestane, are in great demand
among the natives; but the water most.
ly drank by the highest class comes
from two springs in Asia, called Goztepe
and Tush Delen.

What. Makes Success.

In business life two things are essen
tial to success First, sound Judgment
second, activity. In all departments we
find greater deficiency in judgment
than in other requisites. Long familiar
ity in q given department does not
necessarily produce it, though this will
undoubtedly aid and strengthen it.
Only by reliance on ones self, and feel
ing individually responsible for the re-
suits of action founded on ones own
efforts, can the fact be established of
good or bad judgment. Special talent
will not furnish it for man VINO may
have capacity for acquiring information,
may be able to enter into learned discus
sions on supply or demand, may have
vast knowledge of productions, their
sources of supply, and their various
uses, and still lack the ability to apply
to practical and everyday use the bene-
fits of information.
So, also, one may become familiar with
all the details of business through long
experience in the service of others, and
as a servant, or in an executive capacity,
making himself invaluable without ever
realizine the responsibility attached to
individual discretion or Judgment. In
this belief we find an answer to the Oft
repeated inquiry why so large portion
| of business men are unsuccessful !; to
claim that 30 many fail to meet fair sue
cess through force Of adverse circum-
stances, instead of permitting circum-
stances to control them. Men who have
the capacity to comprehend the whole
question presented to them, to properly
weigh not only the side of success but of
failure, and who understand the import
ance of right thinking and the full pen
atty of mistake, are the ones who succeed,
and whether they get credit for having
good judgment or not, they certainly
exercise it,

The Costliest Monument In America.

by lar the most expensive monument
or crypt in this country is the new one
now in course of construction at the
expense of Mrs. A. T. Stewart in mem
ory of her husband. It is to cost over
$4,000, and will be very elaborate and
imposing. A few days since some ninety
tons of fine marble, cut by skilled work.
men, were sent to Garden City, Long
Island, to be placed in position under
the chancel of the Cathedral of the In
carnation, also being built at the ex-
pense of Mrs. Stewart, and in the center
will rest Mr.. Stewards body. The crypt
in form is a polygon with sixteen sides,
twenty-five feet in diameter and twenty
feet in length. Each angle is ornament
ed by clustered pillars of different-col-
ored marble imported from Italy, and
so placed as to render harmony and to
allow of the light giving the proper
tone through the sixteen windows of
stained glass. There will be sixteen
clusters, each having three different
colored marbles. Between the pillars
the space will be paneled and carved in
pure white American marble, the ceiling
being of the same material. The floor
ing will be of white and black italian
marble set in pretty design. There will
be two approaches to the crypt, leading
from handsome vestibules which connect
with the cathedral above. Mrs. Stewart
takes great interest in the progress of
the work. The building of the cathedral
is progressing rapidly, and when finished
it will be one of the finest pieces Of work
to be found, no expense being spared in
the design or materials employed.

Artemus Wards Power of Ridicule.

"Artemas Ward at Cleveland ls tho
title of an article in Scri6ncr, and the
following extract shows how apt at
repartee the great American humorist
was : In repartee Browne had scarcely
an equal among the journalists of his
time, and his pen was held in wholesome
fear by rival members of the fraternity.
He had always a ready answer for any
that attacked him, and he used his
power OF ridicule in reply to his assail-
ants. One day he found neat package
on his desk, which, on opening, he dis
covered was q jack-knife. A reporter of
q morning paper--a notoriously homely
man-heard Of it, and made paragraph
to the effect that Browne richly merited
the knife. That evening Browne re.
torted by naming the person, and say
ing:
"He is the homeliest man in America.
He has broken five cameras in endeavor-
ing to get picture of himself to send
to the children of a bitter personal
enemy, maliciously intending to frighten
them to death. he has been offered a
good salary to stand up in corn. field
as a scare-crow. He is compelled to get
up three times every night and rest his
face. In his courting days he was utterly
unsuccessful until he had procured q
mask. He has gait like saw.horse,
and when he walks the sidewalks the
very bricks recoil in horror" =
Not content with this chastisement, in
the next issue, under the guise of q
special dispatch from Charleston, where
Ossawatomie Brown was on trial for
treason, he said:
"The jury in the case of Ossawatomie
Brown, charged with murder and trea-
son, brought in verdict of guilty at ten
o'clock this morning, and at eleven
o'clock he was sentenced by Judge
Barker. The Judge, after dwelling with
great force on the enormity of the pris-
oner's crime, sentenced him to sleep one
night with -- naming the rival
reporter], 'and,' said the judge in a
trembling voice, may God have mercy
on your soul / The prisoner fell with
an agonizing shrek to the floor, and
there was not dry eye in the vast con-
course of spectators. An effort will be
made to get his sentence commuted to
hanging"

Plain and flat trimmings are to be

The poufs and paniers on imported
costumes are scarcely discernible.
Some of the new linen cuffs and col

The long twelve or six.buttt1 kid
glove, with the opening at the side
seam, grows in favor.
Persian brocades and old English and
medieval French brocade stuffs are re.
vived for parts of costumes.
Ribbons with graduated stripes of
another color are among the latest i'm
portations in millinery goods.
One of the new shades in the fancy

A Family OF Lepers In Kentucky.

An Adair county (Ky.) letter says -
Many people will be somewhat surprised
when they are told that there is living in
Adair county a whole family afflicted
with leprosy. The name of this family
is Slavey. The disease takes the hair off
of the head entirely, not leaving even
the appearance that there ever was a
covering to the scalp. The skin OF the
head looks as slick as peeled onion.
The skin of the entire body has q bright,
deep pink, or rather scarlet, color, and
peels off in dry fakes about the size and
shape of moderately large fsh-scales.
The fnger-nails and toe-nails become
six or Eight times as thick as by nature
they should be, and the patient becomes
hideous sight to behold for years be-
fore death relieves him of life that has
long since become q burden. Years OF
humiliation and suffering are endured
by these afflicted people. detested and
scorned almost by their fellow.men,
while they patiently, or probably impa-
tiently, wait that inevitable death that is
their only relief.

Unable to Grant the Petition.

authorities. The presiding official ill.,
quired for her written petition. envy

of the kind was required" "Not re-
quired, madam ? On the contrary, moth
ing can be done without it. Take this

dictatioD." She transcribed word for
word formal petition requesting leave
of absence, which was then signed, fold.
ed and sealed. "And now," quoth the
man in Office, "you have only to deliver
it" "To whom, pray?" "To whom?"
echoed the official, with q smile at the
absurdity of the question ".to me, of

across the table. The great man ad-
justed his spectacles, broke the seal,
gravely read over his own composition,
and said " Madam, I have read your
petition, and I regret to tell you that I
am unable to grant it"
