turkish women's views of polygamy.

There are those who say that the
women OF the East are satisfied with
polygamy and do not understand the
Injustice of ID. TO believe this one
must be ignorant not only of the East,
bnt of the soul itself. Ii it were true,
that would not happen which does hap
pen-yiz.. that thero fs scarcely any
Turkish girl who, accepting the heart
Of a man. does not make it a con-
dition that no shall not marry again
during her. lifetime there would not
be so many wives returning to their
families because their husbands have
failed in this promise, and the Turkish
proverb would not be in existence
which says A house with four women
is like ship in q tempest. Even ii
she is adored by her husband the East
ern woman can but curse polygamy.
which obliges her to live with the sword
of Damoc1es above her head lt
Is impossible that she should not feel
tine Injustice Of such q law. She knows
thatI Iwhen=her husband introduces q
rival into her home he Is but putting
into practice the right given to him by
the law OF the Prophet But in the
! bottom of her soul she feels that there
is q more ancientand sacred law which
condemns his act as trai orouS and an
abuse of power; that the tic between
them is undone; that her life is ruined;
that she has the right of rebellion.
The Turkish women seek to know
Frankish women in order to learn some
thing of the splendors and amusements
of their world, but it is not only the
varied and fever;sh life OF gayety that
attracts them; moro often it is the do
mestic life, the little world Of Euro
pean family, the circle of friends, the
table surrounded with children, the
honored and beloved old age; that
sanctuary full of memories, of conf
dence, of tenderness, that can make
the union of two persons good even
without the passion of love; to which
we turn even after long life OF abeF-
ration and faults; in which, even after
the tempests of youth and the pangs
of the present. the heart finds rest and
comfort, as promise Of peace for later
years, the beauty of>a serene sunset
seen from the depths Of some dark val
Icy. t =
But there is one great thing TO be
said for the comfort Of those who la
nlcnt the fate of the Turkish women;
it is that polygamy is declining from
day to day. 81 1t has always been con-
sidered by the Turks themselves rather
as q tolerated abuse than as natural
right Of man. Mahomet said. That
man is TO be praised who has but q sim
gle wife-although he himself had seve-
raj; and those who wish to set an ex-
ample Of honest and austero manners
never in fact marry but one wife. He
who has more than one is not openly
blamed, but neither is ho approved.
Tho Turks are fow who sustain polyga-
| my, and still fower those who approve
it in their hearts. -Constaatincp'e By

A Warren correspondent to the
Chicago Herald says: -Four com
mercial travellers, three New Workers.
and very audacious yOnag drummer
named Hennessay, from Chicago, Were
on their way west last night. When
the train stopped at the Mahnning de.
pot here the four men of cheek noticed
pretty girl, one of the bellies Of the
town, standing on the platform. Hen
nessay made $5 bet with his com
panions that he could kiss the girl
The bet was taken Just before the
train moved Oft Hennessay jumped tO
the platform and as the wheels began
to move rushed up to the young lady
seized her in his arms, and imprint eC
K kiss on her ripe, red lips. A mo ment
later and the Chicago drummer was
on the cars waving his handkerchief
to the astonished crowd on the plat
form and the more embarrassed and
astonished young lady who hurried
from the scene with blushing cheeks.
Her big brother threatens to go to Chi
cago and thrash the drummer"

A poet sings: '.Lot mo die when all
is cold and drear." Now Is an excel.
lent season for the purpose, and the
man who would interpose single OBJ
lection should be severely talked to. II
q poet wants to die when all is cold

that he should feelthat way-he should
be encouraged in his laudable purpose.
