THE TURKS PIPE AND CAP.


SherDet-Ine Koran
Detroit Timea1
ATurkish men and women are very pict-
uresque people," said Mr.. Arthur Ahrnier,
now staying as the Great Western hotel,
Windsor, to q reporter. Mr.. Arhnier is an
English-speaking Bulgarian, and has been
engaged in mercantile affairs In both coun~
: tries
@Are not the Turks an indoIent peopleF
askeI the reporter
@Not when at war. can assure you. At
other times they are. Nothing in the world
delights Turk so much as to sit cross-legged
on mattress about four inches thick, drink
black coffee, and smoke his nargile, or hookah,
as it is called in this country. Ladies smoke
also. have often seen man with his four
or five wives smoking at the same time from
ono nargile. The favorite wife win sit at her
husbands right hand, the next to his favor
at his left, and so on till there is circle
formed. TIE nargile is then lighted, and
there is nothing but bubbling sound heard
as the cooled smoke Is drawn through the
water In the pipe. This smoking and drink
ing of black coffee are the greatest enjoy
ments Of the Turk When he tires OF coffee
he will drink sherbet This Is not the white,
sfYervescing powder sold as such In this coun-
try and England
aHow is it madei Well, I'll tell you. It
Is made Of white sugar and glucose, and Is
hayored according to the fancy OF the
maker. This is boiled with liberal supply
Of water which Is afterward allowed to
,yaporate, leaving tough sweetmeat,
somewhat similar to your taffy. The way
this is used is peculiar. Instead of putting
portion of this preparation in glass and
disolving it, piece is cut from the lump
and placed on the tongue The person then
takes drink of ICED water. This gradually
melts the sherbet and favors the ice water
as it goes down the throat People In this
country do not know what coffee is. Turkish
coffee, as used there, is ground very fine IL
is then placed In fine muslin bag. This
Is put into the coffee-pot The grounds are
thus kept apart from the liquid. Then the
milk No one thinks of using raw milk
with coffee. It is boiled slowly In open pans.
Then it is put near the fire, and the watery
portion evaporates. The milk thickenS IL
Is simply delicious in coffee"
as the Koran observeif'

most strictly observed. High and low, rich
and poor, observe some of its dictates.
Every Turk carries with him small car
pet. Every morning ar sunrise you may see
the Mohamnedans facing the sun on these
carpets saying their prayers. The Koran
does not allow the use Of liquors Of any
kind This is observed by all the fanatics
hence such an abundant use OF coffee; but
the educated people do not observe these
regulations strictly. The morality of these
people Is at very low ebb in commercial as
well as domestic relations. In CONSTANT

Long-Forgotten Companions.


In April 1855, A. w. Tucker. then of this
village, came home from the war, through
which he had served in the One Hundred and
Twenty fourth regiment Of this state. He
left his knapsack, haversack and canteen at
the house of friend and went to the oil
regions His friend hung the soldiers kit on
q peg in his garret. Tucker did not return
and the articles were forgotten.
One day last week Tucker alighted from .
train in Middletown, and went directly t.
the house of his old friend and inquired for
his accoutrements They were found hang
ing I'm the garrett A package Of ground
coffee and one Of brown sugar were in the
haversack as they had been dealt out for
rations on the field. The canteen contained
a small quantity of whisky. Il was thick
and muddy, but had the aroma Of the 3oid
stuff A soldiers portfolio and writing
paper and envelopes, with the patriotic en-
beilishments in vogue during the years Of the
war, pens and ink bottle were In the KNAPP
sack. When Tucker gazed upon those long,
forgotten companions OF his years Of hard
ship and dangers On the battlefield he burst
into tearr, and kissed them over and over
again. He had them tenderly packed, just
as be received them, which was just as they
had come from the field, and took them to
his home in the oil regions

Some years ago an emigrunt from the
United States kept small restaurant In a
town situated in one Of the great stock-rais.
ing districts of South Australia. He was
presumably the only Yankee in those parts.
There was an enormously rich old stockman
who came into town from his lordly cattle
range at intervals, whose nationality was
matter Of doubt though he usually passed
for taciturn and uncommunicativeb bachelor
Scotchman.
One day this wealthy but solitary old chap
entered tho restaurant of the man from the
states. When he left he looked hard at the
proprietor, and then simply remarked
"American, aren't your

millionaire cowpuncher walked away with

Regularly once a week he reappeared, ST.

stereotyped inquiry, receiving tho same en-
phatic, aYes, Stree In reply. At last there
came time when the eccentric old customer
did not return. One month went by-two.
At last wagon stopped at the door, and the
old fellow, peie and wasted with sickness,
was helped out and supported into the saloon.
He called for his usual steak with weak
but dogged determination, ate q morsel and
then tottered up to the counter. As he paid
his bill he whispered, hoarsely:

patcher at Memphis, and one evening prior
TO taking mold Of his key be CHANGED TO meet
several jolly companions, and by lingering
with them managed in some mysterious way
to get rabbits foot into his pocket, or, in
other words, imbibed too much sour mash
The consequence was, that when hr found
himself at bis post Of dutU he had sense
enough TO realize that it was impossible for
him to direct the movement Of trains on the
road during the night The more be en-
deavored TO find way out Of his dilemma
the more fuddled he became, until st last he
grew indignant, and after sidc-tracking all
the trains on the road, he closed his ofics
and went TO bed. The trains remained on
the sids-tracks all night waiting Tor orders
20 move. while the respective crews shook
their fists and howled In their profanity.
Ths next day Brown was discharged.

INVITATIONS or LEATHER.


How They Are Palmsd or Upon the
Public for Footwear.
Rochester Chroniclel
@The oft-quoted statement said veteran
shoe dealer to reporter. There are tricks
in all trades but ours is the completest fall
lacy ever perpetrated upon an unsuspecting
public. The fact Is that there Il no given
trade In which frauds are not continually
conjured and successfully worked will
tell you few in our busine1, for am hent
informed ON That subject, having been In the
wholesale manufacturing trade for score Of
years. Right here let me tell you the cause
OF it. In any business there Is q continual
struggle between manufacturers, and this
makes it necessary Tor them to economise
and figure to reduce cost In the most trifiing
Details for 1t is the few cents margin that
makes the profit which enables the fortunate
to wear diamonds and drive fast horses.
aSome years ago there was q rage for
cheapening goods. Cheap substitutes for
standard stock were eagerly sought for.
They found them, too A prominent manu-
facturer here, who has a good reputation,
and does business amounting TO hundreds
of thousands annually, devised a scheme
some time ago which was destined to make
big profits The advantage is the extra pro-
lection to the toe, making two thic.rnesses of
leather there, and giving better service, es-
pecially in children's shoes. Well, this man
cut piece Off the vamp at the toe, and
joined the vamp and tip by stitching them as
usual The result was only one thickness Of
leather there, and when the tip was worn
through there was q hole in the shoe"
@That surely could not make much Of q
saving"
Couldn't ehi It saved just SO much whole
stock, and reduced the estimated number OF
feet for case. Then 1t saved the best part
of the skin, for the fanlrs cannot be cut up
into vamps. Unfortunately the trick was
discovered. The manufacturer overstepped
himself there, and the shoes which he shipped
out ripped badly. The consequence was that
he had q lot Of shoes to take back. He was
money out in the end
sWhat are some other tricksP
1Some manufacturers, in making double
soled mems goods, have cut heel lifts out of
the first sole and filed 1t up with pasted stock
or leather-board. Then I've heard OF cases
where the tap-sole was reduced to q mere
strip around the edge, with some cheap
material for the center filing Heels are
often made almost entirely Of cheap manu-
featured stock. Only the best Of shoes have
sole-leather counters
1How about the uppersr
1There is deception everywhere. There Is
no prime stock made which has not an ac-
companying imitation. There Is imitation
French kid; imitation Curacao kid; imita-
tion everything. More sheepsldns are made
up TO resemble kid than you would imagine.
There is even imitation sheepskin-"
4Iow can they be detectedp

cash down, yet the area Of country sold was
larger than some of the New England states.
The possessions are situated In the states of
Chihuahua and Durango. The title Of the
lands was perhaps was the most ancient OF
any upon the American continent This Is
the first transfer that had been made in 200
hundred years Long ago than the king Of
Spain conveyed this tract Of country to the
ancestry Of Don Antonio Ansunsala, where
1t had remained and descended from genera
tion to generation until the present time
More than 200 people as tenants are liv-
ing upon this soil, growing corn and coffee
and wheat in the villages and sheep and cat
tie in the mountains. The lands were bonded
over two years ago to Col. J. p. Lawson, of
Colorado, who paid 100000 for three years
bondment The stipulated price of the land
Is 81 100000. An additional 81, 900 900 is to
be invested in cattle, blooded horses, and
agricultural implements. One-half of this ad-
ditional 81, ZOO, 900 has already arrived from
London, and is now deposited in the City of
Mexico and Chihuahua to the credit OF the
fiscal agent of the syndicate. The estate con-
sists of two immense ranches, subdivided into
six contiguous haciendas, upon each of which
there is village with an organized munich
pal government Two-thirds of the estate
lies within the southern boundary Of the
state Of Chihuahua; the remaining third in
Durango. @
The area embraced by these properties is
twenty-seven Spanish leauges in length by
an average width of nine leagues or an
equivalent In English measurement OF
seventy by twenty-three miles, or 1,6l0
square miles Large tracts Of these lands are
under cultivation, the crops consisting prin
cipally Of Indian corn, wheat. barley, and
Irish and sweet potatoes. In addition they
are capable Of grazing 200, 900 head of cattle
and 400, 900 sheep. Besides the above six
hac;endas, the same syndicate has purchased
two other ranches adjacent, containing 500,-
600 acres The deeds of record show that
there were also included in this sale, for spe-
cial stipulations not given, 5000 head Of
sheep, 1,200 head Of unbroken horses, 800
saddle horses, 800 broken mules, 800 work
oxen, 1000 hogs, 1000 saddles and brides,
800 sets of harnesses, together with immense

How They Look and How they &C
quired Fame.
The Poet OF the sierras.

A more amazing combination Of great
ability, eccentricity, vanity and other fall
ings can scarce be found than Is developed
in Cincinnatus Hiner Miller. better known
as Joaquin Miller. As a writer few excel in
the quaintness of conception, brilliancy OF
Imagination and fuency Of diction. Both In
prose and verse he displays an original style
which is exceedingly pleasing. The stories
of his eccentricity are often incredible. Long
after he had acquired fame and fortune he
cultivated a tramp-iike appearance, his red
shirt, long hair and unpublished cowhide boots
being a source OF much annoyance to his nd
mirers The recent cutting of his hair and
beard has been announced, and we present
his portrait as he now looks. He married
Miss Minnie Theresa Dyer, western poetess,
in 1868, but they were divorced in 1870. He
is at present married to lady OF the Leland
family, Of hotel fame, and has a most beau
tiful daughter. Home life has little attrac-
tion for him, as he has constructed @ ] g
cabin on the heights, near Washington, and
lives there alone.
