THE TURKISH CAPITAL.
One OF the Most Beautiful and fndescrl
able cities la the World.

| One OF the Most Beautiful and fndescrlb-
able cities la the word.
Constantlnople has about l,OC0.OOO
people. 1t is one OF the most beauti-
full cities in the world, and also one OF
the most indescribable. Lying US 1t
does at the mouth OF the Bosphorus
and at the head OF the Sea OF Mar
mora, 1t is between Europe and Asia,
and it forms the connecting link be-
tween one and the other. The Sea OF
Marmora is as blue MS the Mediter-
ranean. In entering 1t you sail for
miles through the Straits OF Darda-
nelles, across which Byron swan. and
on each side of which the hills rise In
low mountains. with picturesque viii
lagos at their feet The Bosphorus
itself Is lined with great hills. and
Constantinople stands upon hill and
valley. The city is composed OF three
quarters, and the one you see first in
coming TO 1t by sea is Stnmboul.
Imagine great city arising as 1t were
from the edge OF the sea. Let 1t
have hundreds OF tall white
towers extending for many feet
above its nests OF houses.
Let its hills be crowned with mighty
mosques. some OF which cover ncres,
and from the minarets OF which you
hear the shrlll tenor voices calling out
the hours OF prayer. Let low.
ruined wall run around the edge OF this
vast city. and let wilderness OF pal.
aces slope down from hill At Seragllo
point to the edge OF the water Put
green trees among the houses and let
there be patch OF green grass here
and there amid the wilderness OF build
ings. and this gives you confused
idea Of Stamboul. At the right almost
a stones throw from Europe is Asia.
and the white. glaring town at the base
of its hills is Skutari, where the der
wishes live. and where the most fanatic
OF the Turks hold their celebrations.
On in front OF you as far as you can
see flows what appears to be a mighty
river. its steep banks lined with
Oriental palaces and modern viii
las, and as you round the point you
face another piece OF water which
washes the European side OF Stamboul.
and which is the famous Golden Horn.
On one side OF this. surrounding a
massive Geonese tower and climbing
up hill as steep as those OF San
Francisco, are the cities OF Pera and
Galata, and at their base on the wa
ter's edge is a long. white, three-story
palace OF the Sultan. and further up on
the hill among the trees is another
palace, in which his Royal Highness
lives with his harem. The Golden
Horn itself is deep inlet, half a mile
wide where 1t joins the Bosphorus, and
narrowing as 1t curves in and around
STEAMBOAT and goes on into the country
to the sweet waters OF Europe. There
is a bridge OF boats crossing 1t which
connects European Constantinople with
Oriental Stamboul, and this bridge ia

Secretary Noble has published the

the Secretary and the declaration OF
the President that Tanners integrity

and dishonest. Secretary Noble has
merited the respect Of the whole

How to Make and Preserve These Pretty
Works of Art
This interesting fancy in art was con-
ceived by German artist OF celebrity,
who heard OF a widow and children
sadly In need. He repaired to the cafe
where he knew he would meet some
friends, laid the sad tale before them
and exhorted them to contribute to her
need. They were not in the mood, and
refused TO give even the smallest coin.
At this the artist withdrew to the other
corner OF the room, seated himself In a
chair and was soon forgotten. Pres
emily he returned. holding up pate
with picture on 1t. His friends i'm
mediately Aocked around him to ad-
mire this work. After listening to
their praises he offered 1t for sale to
the highest bidder. The bidding was
spirited, and the plate was finally sold
for a large sum.
Now" said he. that money Is for
the widow to whom you would give
nothing to save her from starvation.
but you would give this sum OF money
for q plate with smoke upon It. 80.
The plate is held over lighted wax
candle or taper, just far enough away
to be sure that the wick does not
touch; II it did this it would become
greasy. Wave it steadily TO and fro
