The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1886-07-08


The Association room now complet-
ed, will hereafter be opened to our
members, friends and strangers. We
have beautiful room, neatly papered,
carpeted and seated. We are now
making efforts to procure books, pa
pers and other matter necessary to en-
able us to entertain, interest and make
pleasant all who shall be pleased to
call upon rs. We hope we have not
mistaken the scope of our work nor
the extent OF our obligations in view
of the fruitful field of labor which
opens itself before u.s.
The steps we have taken are only
iniatory to the work we have in view
Johnson City has near two hundred
boys and young men, Where dc
they spend their evenings? Where
are their places OF amusement and en-
tertainment? What effort is being
made to place before them innocent
amusements and to attract them into
the ways oil pleasantnesSY
You must remember that in the ma
ture of each one is wrapped up the de
sire to be entertained, amused anC
made pleasant. This desire will no
out or down at the bidding of mere
exhortations. 1t must be gratifed
If attractive ways Of innocent amuse
ment and entertainment are not oper
to them, into which they can go ant
gather wholesome food for the minC
and the soul, one by one we may ex
pect to see them fall into gambling re
sorts, saloons and places of vice an(
crime. Already the clutches of baC
habits and the influence of evil asso
Citations have fastened a strong grill
upon many of our boys and younl
men, and the bright Sabbath day find
them loafing around the depots anC
upon the street corners instead of at
tending the churches, Sabbath School
and places Of devotion. Some one is a
fault.

time will come when some attire will
be devised which will be modest,
becoming and healthful for women;
but as yet no satisfactory comprom-
Use has been effected between panta-
looms and petticoats. The bloomer
costume was healthful, easy to work
in, and modest; but it made women
look ugly, and for that reason per-
ished, though, perhaps, if it had re-
ceived fair trial, it might haye de-
veloped into thing of beauty which
for it's many blessings, would have
been "a Joy forever" Certain it is
that if women generally become in
terested in freezing their sex from an
attire which almost makes life bur-
den and which calls down upon it
multitude of ailments, something
better must result. But we can all
do something even now, during the
interval of waiting. First of all we
can get rid of the corset, which,
worn loosely or otherwise, works
more injury than long and heavy
skirts. We can also wear combina-
ton underskirts, one, or at the
most two, light princess skirts and a
dress made in one piece, or else
with the skirt and waist buttoned to-
gether so as to have precisely the
same effect; thus getting rid of all;
or at least all but one of the custo-
mary hard aud inelastic bands around
the waist, and suspending the entire
weight from the shoulders. To fast
en- a two-piece dress together. sew
tapes, with buttonholes at the ends,
to the main seams of the basque a
little above the waist line, and put
corresponding buttons on the skirt
band. This is better than wearing
suspenders which draw unpleasantly
across the bust And we can also
discard bustles, and yoluminous
drapery, and wear comfortable shoes,
without getting SO far out of the
fashion as to be ridiculous.

Something More About Dress.

We are glad to see that our friends
are agitating the subject of dress re-
form. Certain it is woman as class,
will never be healthy, wealthy, or
wise, as long as their limbs are
weighed down and their movements
-impeded by heavy skirts and clinging
draperies. Did you ever attempt to
calculate the strength wasted and
the WEAKNESS engendered in single
day in q woman's effort to do her
work, fretted and weighed down and
hampered by the antagonism of
skirts? Skeptics on this subject
should observe woman trying to
walk in the teethsof high wind. 1t
blows against her extensive drapery,
and beats her back, and effects her
precisely as the wind affects the sail
of a ship; and it is only by a great
expenditure of strength and vitality
that she can make any Roadway at
all. The same experience holds in
everything she does, to less but to
an alarming degree. Perhaps the

HYGIENE.
Tea and Coffee Dyspeptics.


1t has occurred to the writer's, to
make many observations as to the
circumstances under which tea and
coffee are found to agree and disagree
with difent persons; in the first place
as Sir. W. Roberts has pointed out,
tea, if taken at the same time as far
inaceous food is more likely to re-
tard it's digestion and cause dyspep
STA than if taken a little time after
eating; and the custom adopted by
many persons at breakfast, for in.
stance, of eating, and drinking their
tea or coffee afterward, is sensible
one; so also it is better to take ones
5 o'clock tea without the customary
bread and butter or cake than with
it. Indeed, while there is little that
can be said against cup of hot tea
as stimulant and restorative, when
taken about midday between lunch
and dinner, and without solid food,
it may on the other hand, be fruit
full cause of dyspepsia, when accom-
panied at that time with solid food.
1t is also a curious fact that with
many persons with whom tea, under
ordinary circumstances, will agree
exceedingly well, will become the
subjects of tea dyspepsia if they
drink this beverage at time when
they may he suffering from mental
worry or emotional disturbances.
Moreover. it is a we'll recognized
fact that persons who are prone to
nervous excitement Of the circulation
and palpitations of the heart have
these symptoms greatly aggravated
if they persist in the use of tea or
coffee as beverage. The excessive
consumption of tea among the wom-
en- of the poorer classes is the cause
of much of the so-called "heart com
plant" among them. The food of
these poor women consists largely of
starchy substances (bread and but
ter chiefly. together with tea, i. e.,
a food accessory which is one of the
greatest of all retarders of the digest
ion of starchy food. The effect of
coffee as retarder of stomach di-
gestion would probably be more felt
than it is were it not so constantly
the practice to take it only in small
quantities after large meal; it is
than mixed with an immense bulk
of food, and its relative percentage
proportion rendered insignificant;
and to the strong and vigorous the
slightly retarding effect on digestion
it would then have may be, as Sir.
W. Roberts suggests, not altogether
a disadvantage; but after spare
meal and in persons in feeble digest
i've power the cup of black coffee
would probably exercise retarding
effect on digestion which might
prove harmful.--Popular Science.

A TURKISH BAZAAR.


every house is shop L is a very
crowded, badly-Iighted town and ifyou
look Up 10 see why the day is So dim,
YOU find aroof above your head with
little, thick class windows now and
then.
In Turkey, Persia, and other Eastern
countries, where the climate is very hot,
it becomes an object to get cool place
for business and conversation. Such
place is the dim-lit, rooted affair called
bazaar. Here you find from sunrise
to sunset Except it be for an hour or two
at noon all the city gathered together
You have been wondering, as you came
along the streets, where all the people of
the great town could possibly be, and
your wonder is at rest as you turn cor
ner and dive into the bazaar. Here are
crowds-all the tongues Of the earth 90
ing at once; bright colours; endless
movement : the sharp, monotonous cries
of the seller the restless, peering looks
of the buyer.
The immense bazaar at Constantine
pie is very easy place to get lost in.
There is street after street, and one
would be just like another were it not
that the articles sold are not the same.
One long street perhaps the most bril-
liant of all-ConsiSts of shops filled with
ladies slippers. These articles are ex-
tremely rich, made of velvet or satin, en-
brodered with gold Or pearls IN endless
variety AS you walk along, you see a
grave Turk, seated like tailor, smok-
ing his very long pipe, on a sort of coun-
ter, raised three feet above the ground,
and surrounded by his glittering wares.
His shop is little place, and in itself
would not make much show, but when
shop after shop meets the eye, each fit
ted with the same pretty articles, the
effect ofthe whole street is exceedingly
dazzling and brilliant, and one begins
to think of Ali Bahia, and Aladdin, and
the fabulous stories of the Arabian
Nights,
You turn the corner and are in another
street, where, it may be, the fez-selers
congregate. A fez is, you know, the
ordinary Turkish head-gear-a red cap
with blue tassel. Here, too, are green
and white turbans sold the green BEING
the mark Of one who claims to be rela-
ton of the Prophet; while, perhaps, a
mollah, or high officer ofreligion,is seen
purchasing a lofty, white felt chimney
pot-shaped hat for his own nee A.,

the saddlers gather together III the fourth !;
and SO on. Everything is very dear,
and nobody seems to care very much
whether you buy or not. Every one ap-
pears as if he hated troyble, and wished
YOU to bother bis neighbour rather than
himself. The shopkeeperhas tie great
est aversion to rise .fram..his Sitting post
IRE. andis The very opposite e The civil,
busting English radesnan we knowso
well, who comes 10 you boWing and
smiling, and rubbing bis hands, and
Offering you a chair, and chatting about
theweather, and asking whatwill be the
next article. No; Mr.. Shopkeeper
Turk sits grayely smoking among his
goods, not one of which is out of his
reach if he makes long arm. If, how
ever, anything you want should happen
to be in the closet behind the shop, he
seems much annoyed that he has to put
down his pipe and stretch his legs. And
then he asks, we will say, five pounds
for that which he can sell at profit for
three, or perhaps two pounds You must
therefore never give what is asked, but
offer what you think the article is worth.
Here and there, too, in the streets are
traders of lower order whose whole
stock is spread outon a stool, in bas-
ket, or upon mat
Women, in groups of twos and threes,
do by far the greatest amount of the buy
ing. They are never accompanied BY
their husbands or brothers, as that would
be shocking bad manners F.; but if a wo-
man wishes anything from the bazaar,
she goes there with a friend or two,
wrapped up as ifshe were afraid ofcatch-
ing toothache, You may see her nose
.poking through three-cornered hole in
her shawl, and no more. Whether
wrinkled or young, fair or plain, nobody
IN the bazaar knows, nor ought to know.
The men, too, meet here in great
crowds and smoke, and talk, and gossip
and whisper secrets they dare not whis-
per anywhere else.
In Turkey, you mussrenember, heads
are soon whipped off, andnecks aresoon
rung with the bow-8tring Mind what
you say in Turkey about the Sultan or
the Vizier, or you will get into disa-
greeable scrape. People know this, and
seldom or never talk about politics, ex-
cept in the bazaar, which is a place
where freedom is allowed.
