Turkish Lent.

FINDING myself at Constantinople in
the month of Ramazan, which is the
ninth month of the Turkish year, in
which falls the Mussulman season of
Lent, l witnessed every evening a COM
edy which is worth description. During
the whole of Lent it is prohibited to the
Turks to eat, drink or smoke, from the
rising of the sun to the setting. Almost
all, consequently, spend the night in
eating and drinking; but as long as the
sun is above the horizon almost all re-
spect the religious precept, and no one
dares to transgress it publicly. One
morning my friend and went to visit
an acquaintance, one of the Sultan's
aid-de- camps, an unprejudiced young
officer. and we found him in a room on
the ground floor of the Imperial palace,
with cup of coffee in his hand.
"Whatr' exclaimed Yank, lido you
dare to take coffee after sunrise?''
The officer shrugged his shoulders and
replied that he laughed at Ramazan and
fasting; but just at that moment door
opened suddenly, and he made SO rapid
a movement to hide his cup that he
overturned it and split it on his boot.
1t may be understood from this how
rigorous is the abstinence imposed upon
those who are all day long under the
eyes of others; the boatmen, for in
stance. 1t is amusing to plant one
self upon the bridge of the Sultan
Yalide few minutes before the sun
goes down. About a thousand boat
men may be seen at this point, far and
near, going and coming, or sitting still.
They have every one been fasting since
dawn, are wild with hunger and have
their little suppers ready in the caique,
and their eyes continually move from
the food to the sun, from tie sun to
the food, while the re is q general
agitation and restlessness among them,
as in menagerie when the animals arc
about to be fed. The disappearance Of
the sun is announced by a gun. Before
that longed-for moment no one puts q
crust of bread or q drop of water into
his mouth. Sometimes in q corner OF
the Golden Horn we tried to- bride our
boatmen to eat before the lawful mo.
ment, but they always answered, Iok
Iok! Iok! no! no! no! pointing to the sun
with q timor0us gesture. When the
sun is half hidden, they begin to take
the food in their hands; when there is
nothing but . thin luminous arch, ther

should be moderately compact, if at the
same time it be in pulverable state.
Thus all that is necessary is to work
the surface into good state of filth.
and there is little danger but good
crop of corn will result If only the plow-
ing of the crop be conscientiously ac-
complished.
When, however, corn is planted on
fall blowing, we have found it an excel
lent plan at the first cultivation to use
narrow bull-tongue shares on the Guilt
vator, next the corn, setting them so
they will move the earth to the full
depth of the blowing, These throw no
earth laterally, but open the soil SO the
young roots Of corn have mellow earth
to work in. 1t also tends to aerate the
soil, thus fixing the gases that are al
ways being decomposed in a soil open
to the air. When the corn is thus
plowed both ways, these narrow teeth
may be moved to the outside of the
cultivator and the broader ones used
next the corn. Thus the whole soil is
kept mellow to the full depth of the
blowing.
The object of cultivation is, first, to
destroy weeds, second, to keep the sur
face of the soil mellow. If this mellow
surface, or. rather, surface of finely
pulverized soil, be maintained through
the growing season, the roots are kept
in a state of constant activity, the
leaves are of deep green, and the
crop is kept growing right along. If,
on the other hand, the surface becomes
crusted or sodden from being water
soaked, the plants cease growing and
soon show by the altered color Of the
leaves that something is wrong. This
shows conclusively that it is the action
of the air in the pores of the soil that
conduces. as our principal means, to
continued health in the crop.
When the ground is entirely and
closely shaded, as with crop of grass
and grain, this crusting of the soil does
not take place, neither does it become
sodden, and hence, again, the absolute
necessity of stirring the soil in all So
called hoed crops, until they attain
such growth as enables them to prett,
well shade the ground.-Prai,te Farmer.

RAIN.

The first water,-hCW much II
means! Seven-tenths of man himself
is water. Seven ten tbs of the human
race rained down but yesterday! 1t is
much more probable that Caesar will
flow out of bung-hole than that any
part of his remains will ever stop one.
Our life is indeed vapor, breath, a
little moisture condensed upon the
pane We carry ourselves as in q
phial. Cleave the flesh, and how
quickly we spill out! Man begins as a
fish, and he swims in sea of vital
fluids as long as his life lasts. His first
food is milk; so is his last and all be.
tween. He can taste and assimilate
and absorb nothing but liquids. The
same is true throughout all organic
nature. 'Tis water-power that makes
every wheel move. Without this great
solvent, there is no life. admire
immensely this line OF Walt Whitman:
''The slumbering and liquid trees"
The tree and its fruit are like a sponge
which the rains have filed. Through
them and through all living bodies
there goes on the commerce of vital
growth, tiny vessels, fleets and sue

bound for distant shores, to build up,
and repair, and restore the waste of the
physical frame.
Then the rain means relaxation; the
tension in Nature and in all her crea-
lures is lessened. The trees drop their
leaves, or let go their ripened fruit.
The tree itself will fall in still, damp
day. when but yesterday 1t wlthstood
q gale of wind. A moist south wind
penetrates even the mind and makes
its grasp less tenacious. 1t ought to
take less to kill man on rsiny day
than on a clear. The direct support of
the sun Is withdrawn; life is under q
cloud; a masculine mood gives place to
something like a feminine. In this
sense. rain Is the grief, the weeping OF
Nature, the relief of burdened or
agonized heart. But tears from Ma
ture's eyelids are alwaws remedial and
prepare the way for brighter, purer
skies.-[ John Burroughs, in Scribner

The Sixteen Years Career Oh
Florence Goldsborough.

In the Columbus Statesman of last
Friday we find the following history
of a character well known in this coun-
ty:
The history of Florence F. Goldsbor-
ough, better known as Johnny Howard,
is about as interesting and romantic as
one generally has the pleasure of read
ing. She has not written a book nor
been heroine, but the sixteen years of
her life in which she has worn mems
apparel, and faced hardships and bat
tied the world, as boy thrown out up:
on his own resources does, furnishes a
chapter that is very interesting from
Its novelty. She was visited at the
station house yesterday afternoon when
she gave her full and complete history
as her memory served her. Like many
others who have seen much of the world,
she speaks very intelligently, and while
she has natural fiuency, possess a
straightforwardness of speech, without
any circumlocution, that is foreign to
her sex.

dense sixteen years of an active life
into brief newspaper article, the diff
ferent points can only be mentioned
without comment and the various minol
/ details.
She was born near st. Clairsville
Belmont county, o., in 1S47. Her father
John Goldsborough, was a farmer, and
of family of four, being next to the
eldest. She was set to work in the
fields and was never permitted to learr
housework. She was employed at home
in this unromantic sort of way unit
sixteen years of age, when an uncle
had $50 stolen from him, and she was
suspicioned as beng the guilty party
and served three months in the county
Jail. While admitting many othel
thefts in her life, she proclaims her in
nocence in this to this day, and emphat
ically says that her aunt stole tn,
money. After coming from Jail, sh,
