The Missionary Herald tells how the
Turkish government eXtorts taxes from
Its poor subjects, One poor woman, it
says, was tied to tree with a large bag of
stones about her neck, for the purpose of
compelling her to pay taxes. In another
place sick man had his bed taken from
him and sold other persons are beaten
and some are sent to prison. 1t is sad
cry of poverty which now comes up from
all parts of the Turkish empire.

Thirteen boys in the school at Arcola,
ILL.,, struck against further study when
called in after recess. The teacher, who
apparently is a born diplomatist, called
up the thirteen largest girls in the room
told them of the state Of affairs, and
ordered them to march out and each
bring in boy. Within three minutes
and half a bakers dozen of lads with
very red faces were trying to study holes
i'll their books, and have been too busy
since to talk about the sad affair.

As to sultry cline he made allusion.

Tho Art OF Seating an Audience.

You probably are not aware of the fact
that it is fine art to distribute small
audience so that the people in 1t will not
feel lonesome. You, like everybody else
who goes to the theatre, have frequently
been shown to your place by the usher
only to be made to feel that you were ths
most conspicuous Individual on the floor.
With tier after tier of empty seats gaping
all around fellow, the sense Of loneliness
is sometimes very oppressive. have fled
from many O. good performance rather
than sit in n house like the last man on
earth on the judgment day. Nothing is
more desolate than an empty theatre.
Now, if the treasurer, or ticket-scller, Is
an adept, skilled in his trade, he will 50
apportion small sale that a sparse house
will be made to look big. This is done by
q nice acquaintance with his chairs and
the science of distribution, four and five
people being seated here, rs many more
there, and twice as many there, the OBJ
iect being to make little collection of
heads visible in which ever direction one
looks, and the squads so grouped as to
cover the beggarly array of empty benches
by bringing the heads in range of one an
other. A clever treasurer will seat 500
audience so that the manager will see
$500 in it.-Syracuse Standard.

Tho Governments School Farms.

There are many queer attachments to
this great and complicated machinery Of
government. How many people know
that the United States is q landlord on
quite large scale, and that, too, in the
old hotbed Of states right, South Caro-
lima? Titles to no less than eighteen
farms in that state are vested in the na-
tion. These improved places vary in size
from forty to 500 acres, the average being
about 100 acres. They were bid in by tax
commissioners Of the United States away
back in reconstruction days, and under
the existing statutes no authority can be
found to, permit their redemption or to
sell them. Congress passed IN act twelve
Of fifteen years ago providing for the dis
position Of the income from the farms.
They are in the custody of the internal
revenue collector, who adds to his ordi-
nary duties Of looking after the tax on
liquors and tobacco the renting and keep

Tho Nerveless Nations OF Brazil.

The natives Of Brazil are worthless In
developing the country. Tney are indo-
lent, nerveless, and do not waste any ef-
SsyS. They believe in postponing every
thing until next summer that cannot be
done IN hammock or q rocking -chair.
They are full Of plans and schemes, but
nevce carry them out because tits 30 much
easier to contemplate them than to act.
The decentralization Of the laboring ele-
ment by emancipation and the low price
Of coffee have reduced their incomes, and
they buy their wines and fine clothes by
plastering mortgages over the plantations
they have inherited. Thus the English
men who already have q monopoly Of the
country, are gathering in the lands. and
it will not be many years before the
Portuguese aristocracy will be simply
tenants upon their ancestral estates.
These Englishmen are making big
profits out of the Brazilian trade, and
particularly in the sale Of coffee to the
United States. The coffee crop, or rather
the surplus for export, is worth from
CAS-, ,00O, 900 to s60, COO, 900 year. The COM
mission men make advances in cash some
times, but more often in supplies to the
planters, get big profit on the goods and
@ big interest on the cash, and take the
crop in payment. AS often as otherwise
for the Brazilian is o spendthrift and
knows nothing Of economy-the crop will
not cover the advances, and the English
men seldom permit it to, so that the
mortgage laps over on the plantation

A Novel Method of Teaching.

A Philadelphia lecturer on anatomy
the other day adopted new and novel
method for conveying instruction. Hang
ing beside him on platform was the Or
ticulated skeleton of a man, and at his
feet wasa O pail of modelling clay. To e1-
plain the muscles of the arm, the lecturer
modelled them in his hands and attached
thom to the bones where they belonged,
explaining the attachments of the tendons
as he did so. He then pointed out the
muscle on the arm of the model, and
showed it's position when contracted and
fexed. The lecture was highly appre-
ciated.- Chicago Herald.

THE planters of several counties in
Alabama are said to be in such financial
distress that they are appealing to the
Legislature to relieve them by the un-
constitutional, but sometimes tempo
rarily effective, expedient of a stay law.
They say their condition is due to the
short cotton crop and the extremely
low price Of the staple, and they assert
that if their property is sold at forced
sale 1t will bring very little, and that
while their debts will remain unpaid
they will be ruined and their families
and dependents reduced to the verge of
starvation. They seem to be in pitt
able condition. All their misfortunes
come from the miserable credit system
that has been the cause Of the ruin Of so
many thousands of Southern planters
and business men.

Just es We Erpected.


1t is said that Charleston Is not pleas
ed with Speaker Carllse's committee
appointments, and, judging from the
News and Couries's structures on the
action of Mr.. Carlisle in the matter, we
are inclined to think that our Charles
ton friends are real wrothy about it, and
they have right to be. Some of the
South Carolina members should have
been appointed on the River and Harbor
Committee, and it does seem, that, con-
sidering Charleston's importance, that
the State would have been represented
on the committee. But, Of course, if
any South Carolinian had been appoint
ed to that committee it must have been
Mr.. Dlbble: as Charleston is IN his dis
trict, and he was Randall man, you
know. The News and Courier thinks
that South Carolina has been scandal
ously treated in the formation Of the
House committees. and intimates that it
is about time to strip Speakers of a pow
CT which is so shameiully abused. This
journal did not support MIR. Carlisle for
the Speakership.. The News and Cou-
rlcr did. That Journal held Mr.. Carlisle
up as q model representative of the new
South, and now that it finds that it was
mistaken in it's estimate of that gentle
man it must bear its disappointment as
best it eau. Had Mr.. Randall been
elected Speaker Charleston would not
have been thus treated.
