A Race of Migrants.

The countless dogs of Constantinople
are under the protection of the general
public, but, being pronounced unclean
animals by the Koran, are not allowed
to enter the Turkish houses, and are con-
sequentIy without masters. They, there
fore form great free vagabond republic,
collarless, nameless, houseless, and law
less. The street is their abode; there
they dig little dens, where they sleep,
eat, are born, brought up, and die; and
no one, at least in Stamboul, ever thinks
of disturbing their occupation or their
repose. They are masters of the public
highways. In our cities it is the dog that
makes way for the horseman or foot
passengers. There it is the people, the
horses, the camels, the donkeys, that
make way for the dogs. They are lazy
animals, and sleep most of the time;
neither rain, snow, heat nor cold disturbs
them. They wake wheu they are hung
ry, not before, and sleep almost always
in the same spots. The canine popula.
ton is divided in quarters or wards.
Every quarter, every street is inhabited
or rather possessed by certain number
OF dogs, who never 60 away from it, and
never allow strangers to reside in it
They exercise a sort of service of police.

The Judengasse.

Those of lis who have seen the Juder
gasse of modern times must in imagin%
ton intensity every repellent feature f
the place in order to have even an approx.
innate idea OF what it then was. With
the prescribed limits of their naror
quarter all Frankfort Jews were forced o
live. Thus the houses were built sloer
and higher, until in time light and air
were excluded, and every corner, fom
dingy cellar to gabled roof, was erwed
wita human beings. Nothing thatinagi
nation might picture of the life hhind
those grimy walls and impervious win
dows should exceed the horrors ofeality.
The history of the men and womn who
swarmed in md out of the dar door
ways was written in their crouchng atti-
tude, their stealthy tread, Their fierce
hopelessness OR dull detection ofcounten-
ance; it was not only their owl history,
but that of generations of wroAged and
prosecuted ancestors. In Frankfort

Stretched like winding sheet,
Violets here at my feet,
Poppies ablaze in the wheat,
And peace at the mill.
Thrift and content at the mill;
Grasses that bow and beat
All day with tender thrill,
At touch Of the tireless feet
Fitting hither at will,
Going and coming at will,
While the land is heavy with heat,
And the sun from her curtained seat
Looks down, insatiate still.

Drink OF the light their fill,
And roses are lavish Of sweet,
And scatter their petals at will,
White petals about the feet

is to get room in central

changes can be had after they have
been scanned, alta small price. Solicit
donations Of books. magazines and
other reading matter, as we'll as maps,

nish them with paper, pen, ink and
envelope. If he does not write, give
him the other privileges free. You
then will find less drunkenness and
fewer people on the streets. More in.

come to Seattle, because they can read

plenty of one-legged men and crlpples
that would take the job of keeping the

think another year will give us all we
need in that line. We want some one
to come to Elma with q stock of goods.
