Sleeping Rooms of Turkish Women.

The regulation Turkish bed consists of
twenty or thirty wool quilts laid on top
of each other on the floor, covered with
silken sheets. The bed rooms have the
usual three divans, and the female ser
wants sleep on these. Divans. a tabouret or
so, some rugs and a few large camphor
wood trunks studded with brass nails

in closets during the day.

A Discriminating Shot.

The following story is told of couple Of
sportsnoen. Their names were Hoffman and
Cowan and both were excellent shots, and
not little given to boastlDg Of their skill.
One day they went on deer hunting ex-
petition, and, after getting into the woods,
whers they expected to find deer, they sep
arated Shortly after Hoffman heard Cow
ans gun fred off, when he Immediately
went over to the spot where he heard the
shot, expecting to be obliged to help Cowan
to hang up deer. He found Cowan very
busy loading his gun and shouted out:
"Hallo Cowanl What did you shoot at
just nowS"
'None o your business Go along over
the hillp'
Surprised at this short and crusty an
swer Hoffman looked around and discov-
cred a calf among the bushes. Again he
cried out:

SAN FRANCISCO COMMUTERS"
They Travel at Low Rates and Are Well
Cared For.


Cared For.
Especial Correspondence.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE San Fran
cisco business man who lives in the sub
urbs has better facilities for travelling be-
tween his home and his Office than are en-
ioyed by the same class in any other Amer
lean city. Crossing the bay from the foot
of Market street are two lines of large and
substantial ferry boats, which leave alter
nately every fifteen minutes each way.
These boats land on two piers on the east
ern side of the bay. From these piers ra-
date lines of rail to the residence suburbs
One connects with broad gauge track
where the overland trains arrive and de-
part. Here are three local tracks, one
leading to Oakland, one to Berkeley and
one to Alameda.
The trains stop at each alternate street
crossing to take on and leave off passen-
gers.
The other ferry line runs in connection
with narrow gauge road, which has con-
Meeting trains TO each Of the above named
places. 1t was on the Oakland track of
this narrow gauge road that the train on
last Decoration day plunged into an open
drawbridge, killing thirteen people and
more or less seriously injuring many more.
The fare is twenty-five cents for a single
round trip by either route INTERCHANGEABLE,
or Communication tickets good for one round
trip each day in the month are sold for 50,
or ten cents day in thirty day month.
This low price will carry one from the far
thest station made by these local trains. 1
live thirteen miles from the Market street
landing, and therefore ride twenty-six
miles day for ten cents. Both the ears
and the boats are of the best, and all
things considered it is the cheapest travel
/ know anything about. But from local
passengers within the limits of either cor
poratiOn no fares are collected.
This is, l understand, according to astip-
ulation in the charter Of the road. The
tracks are at surface grade, and while the
cars are run at high rate of speed there
are comparatively few accidents The
people know when to expect the trains, and
as the tracks are almost free from curves
the approach of the cars is easily gagged
Then in Oakland the street crossings
are provided with automatic electric sig
mails, and when the engines are within a
given distance of the crossings the bells
notify any one on the street OF their dan
ger.
New Yorks suburban traffic facilities
are extensive, but not as complete nor as
comfortable nor cheap as those of this city.
