one Of them told tho following yarn

said, Admiral Porter sisnaled TO the fleet be-

throbbing of the engines and wash of water
along tho side seemed pfeternaturaily loud.
When about half through signal was reported
from the flagship:
"'COme 10 anchor in your Positions
When IL was read 10 our commander sud-
den revulsion Of feeling came over him.

an could have only one wife, for it was physi-
cal impossibilty for a man to have more than
one and love them equally. As for love in the
sense of the Christian marriage, doubt whether
it exists to large extent in Turkey. There
are exceptional instances no doubt, but the life
of the Turks is such as to make it almost i'm
possible. The husband and the wife do not
eat together Men and women do not mix to-
gether at parties. There are no entertainments
IN common, and the woman is more Of play
thing than anything else. If her husband is
wealthy she has slaves to wait upon her, and
does little but manage his household, smoke
cigarets and talk gossip. She seldom knows
anything of his business. and he would hardly
think OF asking her advice.
Tho marriage customs of the Mahometans do
not tend to tho union of compatible tempera-
ments. Children are often betrothed in in
fancy and girls are sometimes promised as
wives when they are three and four years old.
Early marriages are encouraged. and girls arc
legally old enough to marry at nine. and they
are usually married before they get to be ii.
They have children when our girls are still
going to school, and they age very rapidly.
Fathers encourage their boys to marry when
they are still in their teens and many a hoy
has a family when no is Is years old. Great
care is taken by the parents Of the boy in
selecting wife for him. The man seldom sees
the face of his bride until the wedding is over,
ana ali OF the marriage arrangements are
made by his mother or lady friends When n
son is old enough to marry, say at II, the
parents begin to look about for wife for him.
The mother visits the eligible harems of her ac-
quaintances and asks to look at the daughters.
She goes to the girls schools and takes a view
of the madens, and when she has found one
whom she thinks may suit, she invites the
lady TO meet her at the bath. The Turkish
bath Is one of the great institutions OF Mahorn-
etan countries. IL is the place of gossip and
pleasure, and parties of ladies often go to tho
bath together. The girl may possibly 60 with
her mother, and her prospective mother-in-law
is on hand. She engages the young lady in
conversation, and enters the hot rooms and
other bathrooms with her clad in the light
attire of two Turkish towels which is fashion
able on the occasion. At the close of the bath.
the party, robed in dry towels, have a dinner
together, and the old lady has good chance TO
learn the character. both mental and physical,
of her prospective daughter-in-law. Upon her
return home she tells her husband the result
of her Investigations and If he is pleased nego-
tiations are begun with the parents Of the
bride rs to tho match. The amount Of the
dowery is fixed. and If they are agreeable the
betrOthal is made. The marriage Is. however.
not consummated nor this betrothal en- tered into
