The milk pail used to versify a mild and mellow
When used to milk old Brindie III the yard
And the shining rrilk was sweetsf unto me and
little Peter
Than oriental perfumes Of myrrh, hauhin-
The sunset flung It's banners from the gilded
hills above us,
And the doors Of the evening seemed to drop
from every bough;
There was peace and glad coftentment both
within us and without ts,
At the sweet, nellfhuouB milking OF the COW:
And, wondering like q memory from the silent
past's nbysm,
smell the grateful odors Of the fragrant
evening breeze,
And bend to catch the chrism of tho twilight's
And the outstretched benediction Of the
trees.
The glory Of the summer night. the magic OF the
mountains,
And the tinkiings OF the twilight on the farin
are with me nowj
But through all the mingling mnsic still hear
those falling fountains,
The sweet, mellifuous milking OF the COW.
still hear the joyful rhythm Of that Initiating
And smell the grateful odors Of the placid,
perfumed night
Odors blown from glens a-sprinkle with wild
rose and periwinkle,
And from lakes where lazy lilies loll in languer
for the light.
Through the valley of the long years that is
glimniefing behind me
peer down through the vista that connects
the then and now
With q youths audacious unconcern a careless
boy find me.
At the sweet, mellifuous milking Of the cow.

No opera,ic A-pirnnts for Him

There is man with family up town

to aspirants for operate honors. He
has also learned what to him is an en-
tirely new system of vocal training. He
learned it by accident. Next door to
him lives young woman who has put
her voice in training on what he called

her. because thought she must get
very tired standing up so many hours
reaching up after her voice. Since I've
seea her practice, though, think that
training for prize fight is child's play
to training for contralto voice.
"Yes, it's the proper thing, I'm told.
But when first saw that young woman
rolling on the floor with pillow tied
about her waist and she letting her
voice out like two Tom cats, on hack
fence, I thought she had the cholera,
but when / was Indignantly told to
mind my own business, and it was ex-

Defenses Against Burglars.

! A peculiar feature Of the best uptown
districts is the barricading of the walls
and windows against burglars. It gives
the great houses prison-like touch,
and shows against what obstacles
wealth contends in great hodge podge
of humanity like this. There are more
or less fanciful but strong bars In all
the basement windows, and the parlor
windows have variously patterned little
fences OF iron rods projecting from
them, nearly all put up since Chasttne
Cox climbed in Forty-second street

walls around their yards top them with
spiked fences, and all the doors have
bolts and chains as we'll as locks.-Ne,c

There are between 200 and 300

them in the largest mosque Of the

Sophia, which was built as Christian
church in the fourth century, and which
was for ages the finest Christian church
in the world. Tt took one hundred ar
chitects to superintend its construction,
and 10000 masons worked upon it at
the same time. It had doors of ivory,
amber, and cedar, and its altar was
made of precious stones Undecided in
gold and silver. 1t was decorated with
beautiful paintings, which the Turks
destroyed when they took possession Of
Constantinople, and its roof has still

drop of water, and the more devout
will not even 81 allow their Spite.
The Turks are the most inVeterate
smokers of the world, and they like to
titillate their rosttils With smoke and to
crafty .them with perfumes. During
Ramazan they do not smoke during the
day time and they entirely abstain
from snuff and the use of altar of roses.
This is SO not only in Constantinople,
but also over the whole Mohammedan

something like 100000 eyes are
anxiously watching the going down of
the setting sun. The moment it drops
behind the west these millions will
grab for the food that has been pre-
pared for them, and for the nest hour
or so the fasting will be turned into
feasting. The nights of Constantinop!e
are now nights of revelry. The koran
does not prohibit the Turk from eating
what he pleases after sunset, end the
people gorge themselves to make up
for &c fast of the day. The city is
lighted at nights, and crowds throng
The streets. All the cafes and eating

Is Greenland An Island?

Engineer Robert E. Pearv, of the

The fact that Mr. Peary has the cour-
age and enterprise to launch out into such
an undertaking proves that heroism
is not yet extinct. Military proves
and the succe IS connected with war are
by no means the only measures of true
heroism. We are not disposed to decry
such an expedition because the dollars
and cents are not visible, or any great
gain to commerce or business. If there
shall result gain in self-denials, en-
durance, self-command, hardihood, and
all the qualities which go to make mp

him. 1t would be curious thing to see
q merchant in New York or Chicago
stop his sales in the middle of the day
aud drop on his knees and pray in the
presence of his customers.
The Turks read the koran fully as
much as we read the Bible. 1t is a COM
mon sight in going through the bazaars
to see one man reading the koran to his
friends. and nearly every merchant has
a copy of this Mohammedan bible be-
side him, and vet you will see dozens OF
merchants reading to themselves during
the intervals of trade. They take pride
in having good koraus, and the korans
used by the Sultan are bound in silver
and beautifully illuminated. In the
tombs of the Sultans where they lie in
marble sarcophagi, inside of ferces of
silver, their korans are preserved with
them, and looked over several volumes
of the finest OF these the other day.
The guide in charge, whose hands are
washed, will not permit Chris ian to
touch them, but he turns the pages and
shows YOU their beauties. They are as
fine as any of the wonderful manuscripts
made by the monks of the middle ages,
and they are painted by hand upon
parchment. The Sultan probably knows
the koran by heart. The khedive of
Egypt can recite it from one end to the
other, and the average Mohammedan
ruler has much better knowledge of
his bible than have our presidents or
the kings of Europe of the scriptures.
The churches of the Mohammedans,
known as mosques, are the finest bull d.
ings Of the East, and thew rank among
the great architectural structures of the
world. There is mosque in Cairo
