With the large majority of the
native females in Turkey, the prevail
ing tint is yellow. Nine out of ten of
them are pigeon-toed and all the
blondes have frecIxles. They never
wither and dry up in growing old, as
do the nations to the north and west,
but fatten and grow oily, developing
ridges where there ought to be hollows,
growing at the edges and settling in
hight, until at early womanhood they
have no more shape or figure than a
Hubbard squash.
If | were to have my choice of the
whole invoice, should take an Abys-
sinian brunette. They are divinely
tall and slender and blacklas the ace
of spades. The features are clearly
cut and regular, the eyes liquid and
the lips red and full. The hair is black
and waving, but somewhat course in
fibre. They dress IN pure white. and
the black face and red lips against the
white setting of the burnous give an
effect that is as enchanting as a pic

The Starr King school in Boston
seems to be doing a remarkable work
in fitting girls for useful and some
what unusual occupations, according
to the following from the Adpertizer ::
1t is surprising to see how well the
girls do. and especially how well they
do in the latter class. and how natur-
ally some of them take to the use of
tools. Their efforts are mostly in the
cabinet-making line, although the first
lessons are in getting out pieces of
wood for miniature fences, and learn
ing to use the tools and shaps the
woods. From these they go to some
thing more ambitious knife-trays.
ironing boards. foot-stools, etc.; one Of
the girls is making a pretty oak desk,
another an easel, still another an orna-
mental table. There is no play about
this work; it is genuine labor; they do
everything themselves, under the guild
ance, OF course, or skilled carpenter
who acts as teacher. They take the
dimensions, get out the wood, prepare
it properly and put it together. The
result in many cases would not
shame experienced workmen. OF course
only the larger girls can do this labor
ious work; but the little ones have
their coloring and weaving, their rart
in the needle work and the kitchen
garden classes, and all have the gym
nastic training under one Of Prof. Sar-
gents best graduates. The classes in
modelling do surprisingly well they
model from the fiat, and they show
really remarkable skill.

Ventilation.

If two persons are to occupy sleep
ing room together for night, let them
be weighed upon retiring. and then
again in the morning, and they will
find that the actual weight is at least
one pound less in the morning. Ere
quently there will be loss of two or
more pounds, and the average loss
throughout the year will be more than
a pound. That is, during the night
there is loss Of pound of matter
which has gone off from the body,
partly through the lungs and partly
through the pores in the skin. Tho
escaped material is carbonic acid gas
and decayed animal matter, or poison
GUS exhalations. This is diffused
through the air in part, and in part
absorbed by the bed-clothes. If a sin
gle ounce Of wooi or cotton be burned
in room, it will so completely satur-
ate the air with smoke that one can
hardly breathe, though there can be
but an ounce Of foreign matter in the
air. If an ounce Of cotton be burned
every half hour turing the night, the
air will be continuously saturated with
smoke, unless there is an outlet for it.
Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus
formed are far less dangerous or poi
sonous than the aixteen ounces of ex-
halations from the lungs and bodies of
two persons who have lost pound in
weight during the eight hours of sleep
ing. for while tbs dry smoke is mainly
taken into the lungs, the damp odors
from the body are absorbed both into
the lungs and into the pores of the en-
tire body.
Nothing stronger can be said to
prove the necessity for ventilation in
bedrooms, and Of thoroughly airing
the sheets, coverlets and mattresses in
the morning before putting them into
the form Of naatly-made bed. Child
rem more than any others suffer from
bad air. The restless tossing and NUT
tering, the disturbed sleep, all give
strongest evidences of the effects of
bad air. This Is further confirmed by

movements, and unrefreshed feeling
which are visible IN the morning. Ev-

A Noble Deed.

mo. sir, all the heroes did not go on
the Greedy expedition" said Boatswain
James Nash, of the United States re-
ceiving ship Wabash. although they
were brave men, all CT them, and the
people cannot give them any too much
praise. ] saw one of the officers of the
Bear, who went on the relief expedi-
ton, do as noble an act as ever told in
history. refer to Ensign Lowell K.
Reynolds, who was on the United
States ship Constellation with me in
cruise we made in the winter of 70.
"The ship was cruising off Madeira
Islands when about daylight one morn
ing they sighted bark flying distress
signals. There was high wind blow
ing at the time, and the sea was very
rough. The commander of the Con-
stellation had q boat lowered and
manned at once, and sent it away
under charge of Ensign Reynolds, in
structing him to find out what the
trouble was and return and report. It
proved to be the Austrian bark Olive.
She had lost her rudder and was leak
ing badly. When the boat came back
to the ship and the commander learned
that the crew wanted TO be taken off
and abandon the BARI, Ensign Reynolds
was sent with a crew to perform tho
duty. He did not return until night
fall. When the boat had been taken
on board the captain Of the bark said
there were two boys who were still on
the Olive. Inspite OF the captains re-
monstrances5 Mr. Reynolds went around
among the men, and, selecting such as
he wanted. pulled away in the dark
aesS reseu the boys. In the mean
while the wind had increased in fury,
and it was beginning to storm. On
arriving in the vicinity Of the doomed
bark they found her lying in the
trough of the sea and rocking so badly
that no boat could live anywhere near
her. The two boys, frightened by the
storm, were crying piteously for help
and no one could get to them. It was
dilemma with but one way to. get
out. Some one must jump overheard,
swim to the ship and try to get on
board Ensign Reynolds attempted it,
and disappeared in the darkness. Eff

as many hours, elapsed, and then they
heard him cali from the deck Of che
bark. Tying line around one boy at
a time, he lowered them into the water
and saw them picked up in safety.
When this had been performed he
went below. and, getting some kindlings,
set FIRE to the abandoned vessel, and

FREIGHT WAR.

The E0e11ifag Net0S gives publicity
to an alleged rumor Of another
railroad freight war impending. In
quiry among those in the best posi>
ton to know all the circumstances
of the case develops the fact that
there is not the slightest probability
of any immediate change in the
rates. The contract which was ar
ranged at the pool meeting q few
weeks ago, and under which the
roads are now working, was signed
by the Union Pacific, Central Pac-
ific, Denver s. Rio Grande, At.
Gibson, Topeka s. Santa Fe,
and Burlington s. Missouri, and
is to continue in force at least until
July 1st. Very heavy penalties are
proyided in case of its violation by
any of the contracting roads, the
fines or forfeits amounting to 80
much that no road could afford to
incur them. There is also provi-
vision requiring ninety days. notice
of withdrawal from the pool, and
az no such notice has been given

there is not the faintest likelihood
eff any change in the pool rates for
the next three months. Hence
shippers need count nothing on
prospective war in the near future,
Utah needs cheap freight rates
both in aud out, but she needs
equally as much fixed and essab-
lished rates. Business men can bet
ter afford to pay high charges for
transporting their goods than they
can do business with the rates up
one day and down the next. The
uncertainty is what is rulnous to
them. 1t was that which did so
much harm during the freight war
last year. Had shippers known that
the cut rate would continue for a
definite period, their purchases
would have been based upon that
fact as much as on the cheap rate.
The pool meeting, as our dis
patches stated at the time. was any
thing but harmonious, but the final
agre ement was as binding as if all
had been in the most perfect accord.
The way matters row stand, the
public will necessarily have timely
warning OF any contemplated
change, unless one of the contracts
ing roads becomes anxious to impose
upon itself heavy fines, which is not
at all likely.

CARTER HARRISON.

The newspapers and politicians
are very severe in their criticisms
on Carter Harrison, the Mayor OF
Chicago. They call him a dema-
gogue, blatherskite, trickster, and
various other inelegant and odorous
creatures. 1t is now said Of him
that he expects to be delegate-at-
large to the Democratic National
convention, to be the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Illinois,
to be district delegate If the State
ignores him, to be nomin ated for
Vice. President on a ticket with
Tilden or Randall, and ifthis should
fail to be the Democratic candidate
for Congressman in the Thirtieth
district; to be elected United States
Senator If the party should gain
control of the Legislature, and if all
these strings to his bow should fail
him, ID be Reelected Mayor next
spring. It is possible and not i'm
probable that Mr.. Harrison has been
and is thinking of these various and
several Offices and opportunities;
and it is quite certain that he would
fill any Of the positions with honor
and credit to himself and those who
elected him. Carter Harrison was
an active and clever member of
Congress, Gsnd has been the best
Mayor Chicago ever had, giving
that fast and prosperous city better
government than it has known
since it became a great town.

THE MAMMOTH.


An effort is being made to renew
work on the Mammoth property,
and it is hoped it will be successful.
There is nothing to be found in the
mining history of this Territory, in
which swindling operations are
shown to work even greater injury
at home than abroad than is in.
stanced in the operation Of this
splendid property. 1t is admitted
that nowhere in the west is there a
mine which holds out promises for
such colossal results as the Mans
moth, at Tintic; yet for years this
property has not only practic-
ally produced nothing, but, in
the hands of unscrupulous swind
lers, 1t has been the means OF
financial harm to many and absolute
ruin to some. What makes this the
more aggraYating is the fact that 1t
should prove an unfailing source of
wealth to Utah and blessing, as
giving employment to hundreds
and increasing the demand at home
for the products of the farmer.
There is scarcely anything that can
give cause for greater rejoicing as an
outlook for brighter era for material
Utah than the imme date operation
and successful working of this NAM
moth deposit of available wealth.
It is understood the Mcintyre
Brothers are doing their utmost to
bring about an agreement with
creditors, which will enabls those
interested to develop the properly.
It were a waste Of words to say one
hopes they may succeed; and if it
is possible to eecure such result
by partial surrender Of individual
elaims-unless the sacrifice asked is
really too great-we trust a sentiment
animated by love for the general
veal will go far move all concerned
that the wished for condition-the
operation of the mine-mAy early be
recorded as q stern fact.
In this connection one cannot
help the reflection: Should the con-
ditioRs and complications that have
arisen save this mine for those who
are permanent residents Of the Ter
ritory, then the Eeandalous affair
will not have lassed without effect
ing a great deal that is much to be
desired. One Of the difficulties
one of the most serious objections to
mines going untaxed in Utah, is
she fact that the wealth they pro-
dace as a surplus, or net profit, goes
out Of Utah to build up other coun-
tries and there contributes to tighten
the burdens of taxation by assuming
q taxable form. II the money made
out Of Utah miaes were put into
buildings or industries in Utah,
there would be less cause for CONS
plant, for the reason that it would
soon be taxed In another form.
Hence the desire that this, the
Mammoth, than which no property
in Utah is more promising, should
be he'll as largely as possible in the
hands Of those permanently residing
In Utah, that the wealth it Pros
duces may contribute to our own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, rather than to the
of other countries at the
least in a measure-of
our own commonwealth.

Pickles by the Million.

It is an old saying with Long Island

Huntington has discovered that pickles
will thrive in a soil where beans refuse
to sprout. He had a barren, sandy
spot upon which he made the expert
ment and with such success that
all his neighbors have extensive fields
blooming with their crisp favorites.
Nowhere in this country a picklesfbe
grown that equal in quality those o
Long Island, and Boston, Detroit and
Chicago deal exclusively in them from
this point. In the four establishments
at Greendale alone there will be cured
this season over so, 000, 900 pickles. The
factory just being finished will be the
largest in the country, and will have a
capacity of 80, 600, 600. A plckling fac

the beginning of the season, the price
