TO somnambulism. The girl preceding
had been in the habit of walking in her
sleep and soaring the folks half TO death.
One night she coasted down stairs on the
banister and sat down at the foot with n
thud that awakened everyone and caused
them to believe that an army was invad-
ing the domicile.
The first girl who applied for the place
wanted to know IL washing was done in
the house, and, IL So was the laundry
equipped with stationary washtubs;
whether il was customary to have early
suppers; whether a second girl was om-
ployed to build the fires in the morning.
whether she could be off Sunday and
Thursday afternoons; whether she could
have three evenings a week to herself,
and how many children were there in the
house.
All these questions being answered salts.

The Turkish Exhibit.


One of the exhibits which will be sent
from the East to the exposition will en-
able visitors to form good idea Of the
many nationalitles comprised in the Turk
ish empire. This exhibit will consist of a
series Of costumes worn by the various ma
tionalities in the different walks of life.
The exhibit will be prepared by Tewhk
Bey, Ebuzzia, director of the Museum of
Janissaries, and also of the Industrial
School of Constantinople. Tewiik Bey is
an official of whom any civil service
might be proud. In addition to his two
official positions he is proprietor of one of
the largest printing establishments in Con-
stantinople. He is a yolumlnous author,
one OF his chief works being a Turkish en-
cyclopaedia.
The museums of the Janissaries is
better described by its Turkish name,
Elbise.i-atika, museum of ancient
costumes. 1t would not be possible to
enumerate all of its contents, but, by
mentioning a few, an idea of the char
aoter of the museum may be gained
Costumes of the chief Of the Moham-
medan Church, of officers and prlvates In
the army, of various classes with their
weapons and accoutrcments, of the porter
at the palace gate Of the chief of police,
field laborer gardener of the palace,
physician, old Greek dress, old Armenian
dress chief Rabbi, sentinel, hnnter,
waiter inn the palace standard bearer
Turkish priest. costume Of fire brigade,
Admiral, Grand Nizicr, coachman, etc, u
It's the proposition Of Tewtik Bey TO
lsaye prepared a duplicate set OF all OF
the costumes in this museum and send
them to the exhibition appropriately
labeled. This exhibit will be unique
one for an international exposition. The
work involved In its preparation will no
doubt be great but Gle Turkish officials
will earn the gratitude of the entire
American people'for enabling them to see
in what mainerlthe, highly varied p0pu-
lation OF the Turkish Empire dressed in

The danger to the public from the ndlscrim-
inate use of the many lime and alum baking
powders OF commerce has been so fully ex-
posed that everybody desires to avoid them.
AS "forcwarned Is forcarmed housckeepers
will thank MS for apprising them OF the special
efforts at present being made to dispose OF
such powders In this vicinity.
The proprieiors OF some of these impure
powders are now going from house to house,
trying by means OF trick, or socnlled test
with heat and water, to show that their arti-
Gle is better than the one found In use In the
house, the object being of course, to supply
their own goods in place OF those which house
keepers have for so many years relied upon to
pun up the morning biscuit, and to make the
light, palatable and wholesome roll, cake and
pastry
The h0usekeeper VIII do well to be on her
guard against these bakng!powder tramps.
Every intelligent person knows TINT any goods
pcddled from house TO house In this mannnr,
or that are given away in samples or sought to
be introduced by secretly traducing the char
acter of other goods well known to be pure
and reliable, have no merits Of their own, and
have failed to find purchasers through lcgiti-
mate means.

"Mark Twain" was among the guests at

si1nally he leaves his pleasant quarters in

fact that his mlistache Is little whittier
and his shock of hair little more grizzled
than formerly, lie is just the same in APP

Celncns takes life easily, as he has right
to do, being possessed of a handsomeshare
ot this world's goods, u com mfortable home

ton. He does not hurry with his work or
his pleas ures, and he has arrived at that
period Of life when he can look bacl, on
Tie past With a feeling of pride and satis-
faction andon the future with serene con-
iidenco, ''Roughing IT, and "lnnocents
AbroadN are two works on which his

New YORK, June 10. -Caliph and his
daughter were formally introduced to each
other yesterday morning at Central park.
Grand Vizier W. A. Conklin has kept
Caliph, the hippopotamus. separated from
his wife, Miss Murphy, for nearly a year.
Since then she has enriched the menagerie
with a daughter, Fatima, and the keeper
determined yesterday to introduce the
child to her father and allow husband aud
wife an equal share in the education of
the little one. Caliph has been divided
from his spouse only by an iron rail. and
has no doubt watched FaIma increase in
favor and bulk daily.
Yesterday the barriers were torn down.
Caliph was in the water tank when the
door leading from Miss Murphy's in
closure was opened. Slowly she moved
toward the water, followed by her chIld.
while Caliph raised his head from the
water and nut on a bewitching smile in
his hippopotamus way. Matters went
well for some time, until Fatima, in
a fearless manner butted against
her fathers ribs. Caliph seemed to con-
slider the familiarity not licensed by their
short acquaintance and resented it. He
opened his ponderous jaws again. this
time 10 anger, and it would have gone
badly with Fatima had not the mother
taken up the cudgel and sent Caliph into
one corner While she hurried Fatima off to
their enclosure.
1t was then determined to draw the
water from the tank and see how CaliDh
would receive his offspring where be
could get a good view OF her. The new
introduction was at first quite successful.
father and daughter smiling amicably one
at the other. Miss Murphy was, however.
suspicious, aud noticing some evidence OF
evil intent in the subtle mind of her hus
band, charged him ferociously, and, hav-
ing proved herself master OF the situation,
retired to her enclosure with Fatima. BY
midday Miss Murphy had relented.
CalrPh ~Promiood to hear with the pranks
of the child, and she, in her iufantile way,
promised to behave herself. At last nc
counts there was no happier family in the
menaGerie than Caliph and his wife and
daughter.

The will which Rev. DIR. Cowhick wrote
with his own hand may at least have the
effect OF demonstrating the utility of law
yers in such matters The will was per-
fectly legal and correct except in one
respect, The law requires that the test
ator signature must be witnessed by two
persons. This forwalIty was overlooked
IN the case of the doctors will, and the
lawyers seem to be unanimously Of the
opinion that it, therefore, cannot stand.
Even good lawyers who should under
stand everything in law which bears upon
the subject, have proven but Indifferent
will makers when it came TO applying
their information to their own particular
needs. 1t is a maxim, which was
probably originated by a lawyer, that q
man who is his own lawyer has a fool for
a client, but practical demonstrations Of
the truth OF the maxim are not rare
either here or in other countries. Chan
cellor Kent. one Of the greatest lawyers
the world has ever known, had bis will,
written by himself, successfully contested
in the courts. The country is now watch.
ing with great interest the contest
being made by the heirs OF the
will Of the late Samuel j. rlden.
This will was written by Mr.. Tilden him
self, who was not only a master of law
but Of the niceties ofthe English language.
He wished to leave a fund Of 5000. OOO
for the establishment Of a free public
library in New York. All Of his friends
knew Of his intentions. Not only were
the plans carefully thought out bat the
bequest seemed to be guarded by every
thing that human e~ngenuity could suggest
and yet it looks as though the will would
be broken aud the magnificent sum with
which the testator intended TO have his
philAnthropic design carried out go instead
TO his ordinary hers at law.
DR.. Cowhick. himself unlearned 10 tn,
law, had the example before him Of met
learned in the law who had yet failed ia
drawing up their v wills IN such q
way as to stand the test. That he should
fail in providing a strictly legal will is
therefore not a matter OF surprise.
As his money was made IN Cheyenne
it seems Ike a case Of poetic justice that
a good proportion OF it should descend to
heirs who have long lived here and beer
identified with the progress OF the, toYn.
