ACCOMPLISHED CoNsrAB1Es.

Candidates for the Office of Turkish
policeman seem to be selected without
regard to their achievements in ward
politics. By the present regulations Of
the hadjeh kama, or board of police,
the patrolmen of Constantinople have
to speak at least two of the five princi-
pal languages of their cosmopolitan
metropolis. They have to be irst-class
swordsmen, being required to disarm
and not dissect contumaclous criminal,
and to use their ponderous pistols only
in extreme cases of personal peril.
They are, to q man, picked athletes,
and would be models of their class but
for one rather venial foible- their pay
is so scant that they cannot afford to
refuse an occasional subvention. Ac-
cording to special instructions, they are
permitted to assist "tipsy but discreet
unbeliever" to reach his quarters in
peace, and after dark every offender
with handful of small currency is apt
to be mistaken for tipsy but discreet
intidel.-Prof. OSWALD.

A NUISANCE FOE A GIRL TO BE
PRETTY.

A vastly pretty girl told me-quite
confdentially, you understand, and
without a grain of vanity-that it is a
positive nuisance for girl to be be-
witching when she travels. can ugly
girl can go anywhere or do anything"
she said, "and no notice is taken of her;
but a pretty girl is watched every in
slant, and admiration from strangers
does get to be such bore. OF course,
it's nonsense, but that doesn't alter the
fact. Take a small illustration. An
ugly girl holds out her ticket for the
conductor to take. In doing so his hand
slightly presses her own. She knows
she isn't bewildering on sight and she
can reasonably regard the touch as &C
cidental. Not so with the pretty girl.
She is bound to construe such thing
as firtatious advance. And so she is
compelled to repel it. While in Paris
I saw characteristic example OF the
fact that usage makes all the difference
IN the matter of letting a man touch
ones hand. A charming young woman
was employed in department of one
of those big stores that are among the
sights of Paris. One day I saw her in
stantly repulse man who had barely
touched her hand. He did it in way
that left her no doubt that he meant
sentiment. But within an hour saw her
selling gloves to much younger beau !;
and, in accordance with custom there,
she was putting them on his hands.
She handled his hands deity, softly,
and thoroughly, and I have no doubt
he liked it; but she was merely doing o
business duty, and felt no harm. -
