Turkish Wives.

First among the Turkish social topics is
that of the harem. The Koran allows a
Musselman to have four wives, and many
persons have consequently imagined that
polygamy is rule in Turkey, whereas it is
the exception. A Musselman may only
have as many wives as he can keep in COM
fort; and it is only the very rich who can
afford four. The middle class Turks have
only one wife apiece; the men of the lowest
class are often obliged to remain single
from not having the means to support q
eonsort in the style which the Moslem law
enjoins. Nothing can be more un-T Turkish
than the Mormon idea of accumulating q
number of women to live under one roof,
quarreling in the kitchen and parlor. and
acting as household drudges for their hus-
band. The Turkish wife is not a slave; the
chief fault to find with her is that she has too
lofty sense Of her own dignity. An ad
vocate of female rights would have some
difficulty in persuading her that ncr lot
was pitiable; she has never envied the
emancipation of Christian women, whose
free ways shock her; while she has noticed
that they get much less respect from the
men OF their faith than that which is inva-
riably vouchsafed to herself. She wells
her face with no more regret than a

when they please, attended by their odaliks
if rich, or holding their children by the
hand, and their magpie voices fill the ba-
zaars, for they are noisy takers. When
ever they pass, men of all creeds stand aside
deferentially. If husband meets his vito
in the street, he makes no sign of 1ecogni-
ton; if he perceives her hating before q

"Mashallah. This respect for women pre-
walls also in the home circle, and it comes
naturally to the Mussulman, who has been
taught from his boyhood to behave coufte-
ously to the softer sex. The western con-
jugal expression about wearing the
breeches" has it's Turkish counterpart in
the phrase to "ive under the slipper; and
it is to be feared that not few Turks know
the taste of this implement Of uxcrial per-
suasion. A hamal (street porter once came
before cadi to complain that his wife
trounced him too frequently. See what

ing his gown and showing some wales on
his neck and shoulders. "Go thy way, my
son, and thank Allah thou art luckier

A Pretty Bird Story From Michigan.

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
While strollinc through the woods at
Goguae lake yesterday afternoon, sud-
denly came across half-a- dozen birds Of
the variety known as brown-thrush or
mocking- bird. They we're all busy work
ing at some object on the ground, and
did not notice my intruding till I was
upon them, when, with a shrill cry, they
flew off short distance, and perched
on the trees to watch my movements.
Having my curiosity aroused, went to
examine what I supposed was a nest of
young birds, when to lny surprise found
the dead body of female thrush, which
had been killed by q shot from some
hunters gun, and had fallen where it lay.
The birds which noticed about it had
been covering it with leaves, sticks,
little tufts of grass, &C., until only it's
feet stuck out. Immediately the story of
the Babes in the Wood" covered with
leaves by robbins came to my mind, and
all seemed real as the time when in
childhood read the story and believed
it to be true. Anxious to see what the
birds would do, stepped back Of a large
tree to little distance and watched them.
Slowly the birds came back one By one.
and continued the work of burying the
dead bird. While engaged hopping about
after leaves and grasses, they would chirp,
! in how, melancholy key, what took to
be the dirge-notes Of the little birds
funeral l did not have it in my heart to
| disturb them, and watched them at their
labors for full half hour, at the end of
which time the dead bird was completely
| buried.

Of which had often batlled medical skill, but
which was solved over quarter of century
ago by the Introduction of Hostetters Stom.

Since that time, which may well be said to

state of the liver, and Of counteracting Il
