Recruiting for narems.

The Reruc Britdalique contains an
article descriptive OF the training
OF girls for harems Their education
is begun at very early age, children
OF from seven 10 ten years being usu-
ally chosen for the purpose. The
girls are then sent TO IA regular harem
school, whore they are educated and
taught various accomplishments.
Those intended for the sultans harem
are taught music and French; II, how
ever, as they grow older, they are
found TO be stupid or wanting in good
looks. they are sold as slaves 10 the
lower nobility. Girls from Persia and
Afghanistan are in great demand, par
ticularly from the latter country. Cir
cassians generally supply the Turkish
slave market. not only with their own
children, but with girls who have been
stolen in their infancy from Russia and
the Roumanian provinces OF Hungary.
The gypes, IL is stated, up 10 the pres
ent time entice young children away
from their homes aud travel with them
10 the market of Top Home, where
there Is a constant demand for good
looking girls. Some few years ago
these thefts became SO common that
the Hungarian government instituted
an inquiry into the subject, and since
then the trade has decreased, but Is still
carried on secretly TO certain extent.
One OF the rules of the sultanic harem
is that when slave has reached the
age OF twenty-five and does not meet
with the approval OF he sultan she Is
immediately removed and married
TO one OF the court officials, whose
taste is not consulted, but who ac-
quiesces in the inevitable with truly
oriental Indifference.

Nationality OF U. $. soldiers.

The United States soldiers come from
all countries, but about two-thirds OF
them are native Americans. From

So, sos were white; 4, $50 were colored;
81, 69l were natives; and 22,744 were
foreigners. IL is the experience OF In
telligent officers who have served much
with troops that while the men OF diff
ferent nationalities do not differ much
in their military capacity, certain gen.
eral propositions are true. The
Englishman is most likely TO be- In
subordinate. He has the habit OF pre-
tending 10 have fallen from a superior

good. and one of the worst when he Is
bad The Germans and ScandInavians
arc very trustworthy. The New-Eng-
lander is intelligent but opinionated TO
a degree that sometimes leads him TO
INSTRUMENTATION. II he Is able 10 con-
troll his sprightly independence he Is
likely TO become an excellent non-com-
missioned officer, and may even secure
one of the few commissions that are
bestowed upon men OF the ranks. The
Southerner Is more likely 10 be- subor-
diuate. The negro troops are pro-
ficient in drill, very docile. exceeding
ly clean. and are good soldiers. They
never lose their fondness for the dis
play OF the service. The Northern is
better than the Southern negro. The

No. Many women Printers.

Women printers few years ago
were standing menace TO the trade. In
the view of the men printers, and the
question OF their admittance TO typo
graphical unions threatened To become
burning issue in the labor world.
In this city. says the New York San,
IL was settled for the time being by
the admission OF the women to union
No. 6. with the condition that
they be not allowed TO work
for loss wages than men. This
handicapped the women heavily,
for tho trade is not one in which a
woman can hold her own with man
on equal terms, but even at this IL was
not satisfactory TO large element
among the men who objected TO having
women In the trade at all, and the
trouble continually threatened TO
break out In new spots. Meantime,
however. the matter has been sum
marily settled out of court, as IL were.
Women don't want TO be printers any
more. Tho introduction Of the type
writer and the opening up OF other
lines OF employment more agreeable
and suitable for woman seem 10 have
relieved the female labor market OF
the greater part OF the women who
used 10 want to be printers.
There are not over three hundred
women printers In New York now.
One hundred OF these are In the
union. They work chiefly In large
book printing Offices, where the hours
are easy and there Is no rush.
A few are In tho morning
newspaper Offices. working as dis
tributors In the afternoon. Women
have worked as compositors on some
OF tho morning papers. but tho cases
we're exceptional, such as where n
man died and his widow was allowed
70 take his case until she could get
something better TO do. IL Is thought
that the number OF women printers IL
decreasing constantly. In spite OF the
rapid growth OF the trade. Men shy IL
Is good thing, not only for selfish
reasons, but because the trade, although
generally classified as light and easy
one. In really too woarisome. too UNI
healthy. and In other ways unsuited
for women.

A short time ago tramp by the

The old lady was completely infatu-
ated. All her life she has been the
soul OF parsimoniousness She count

she married. this crooked-eyed tramp

her how no could double her income
by business investments. In all his life
he had never possessed 1.-THE OF the
wealth which was his by this lucky
marriage. He took notion that he

A mother writes TO me: What shall
teach my daughtersp" This one i'm
portant and tremendous fact, my Sis
ter: That there Is no happiness In
this world for an idle woman. IL may
be with hand. IL may be with brain, 1t
may be with foot; but work she must,
or be wretched forever. The little girls
OF our families must be started with
that idea The curse OF our American
society Is that our young women are
taught that the frat. second, third,
fourth. fifth, tenth. flftieth. thou
sandth thing In their life Is TO get some
body TO take care OF them. Instead OF
that the first lesson should be how, UNI
der God. they may take care OF them
selves. The simple fact Is that n
majority OF them do have TO take care
OF themselves. and that. too, after
having, through the false notions OF
their parents, wasted the years in
which they ought to have learned how
successfully 10 maintain themselves.
II Is inhuman and cruel for any father
or mother who pass their daughters in

facility for earning their livelihood.

these writings that ! am proud of, but
the fact that have facility in ten oc-

The historian OF the One Hundred

n tribute to the Thirteenth Indiana OF
the same brigade. 1t probably fought
more battles. he says. than any other
regiment In the Tenth Army corps, and
was celebrated throughout the army
for its bravery and splendid fighting
qualities. Its numbers became at last
so reduced that IL was specially organ

shooters.
AT one point in front OF Petersburg,
where n squad OF Indian boys were
watching the movements OF the enemy.
several OF their number were rapidly
picked on. and the survivors could
form no idea where the fatal bullets
came from.
Finally. one man, shrewder. and III

that he would take his position on
the fatal spot. and find out the author
OF the bloody work II IL cost him his
life. So, with select party OF com

For three or four hours all was quiet.
but at last,a negro was observed walk

fence rail which he threw oarelossly
across the sand-bags In front OF him,
and then disappeared.

pine forest. We had been all expec-
tation for an hour or more. straining
lager eyes TO catch some glimpse OF
our stopping-place. II was here be-
fore us. Looking from our position
upon the railroad towards the south
east. at the extreme end OF the clear

away, cloud OF smoke was curling
upward from rectangular. substan-
tial looking pen. Upon inquiry we
were told, That's where you Yanks

little man upon white horse rode the
length OF the train. and with many u
curse and oath ordered us all out.
During our exit from the close,
cramped quarters we had occupied SO
long fresh guard came, in the widest
confusion and unmilitary order, from
the direction of the smoke. and after
much clustering and cursing we were
formed into two lines, giving room for
us TO pass between, four deep. After
some more swearing the officer on the
white horse placed himself at the head
of tho column and ordered us 70
march. This was Wirz, our prison
keeper, and unhappily our first intro
duction to him was not our last. Upon
reaching the Enclosure we halted while
a part Of our number were formed
into "A detachment. and the remainder
were ordered to be placed upon the
rolls OF the older attachments already
in the pen.
IL have hesitated thus far TO pro-
nounce the word Andersonville. We
knew nothing or had heard nothing
OF the place. so we had not n moments
notice of the life we were about TO
enter upon. These many years after.
the word 'Andersonville' excites the
same curiosity that IL did before we
entered upon the months OF suffering
that cannot be told. This, then, was
Andersonville; or. as il was called by
the guard, Camp Sumpter.' We
entered IL by swinging door or gate,
large, heavily ironed, and guarded.
las we passed within, the doors
were closed behind and heavily
barred-closed upon me for five long
months, and upon one-half our num-
Der for life. Our hearts sickened ms
we first looked upon the misery before
Our eyes. The attempt to picture our
mental depression as we took in, with
one quick. swift glance, the condition
OF those who had entered before us,
would be futile.
I'VE joined inside the inclosure
thirteen thousand OF our comrades in
arms. but they were not TO be recog-
nized. They seemed IA different race
OF the human family, and vastly more
squalid than any ever had seen or
heard of-emaciated forms, half hui
man and half spectral. black with
filth and smoke. and swarming with
vermin. As we were driven like
sheep into the stockade they crowded
about us. making inquiries faster than
they could be answered.

II Is not every man who takes IL
