New View OF Turkey.
lady who has lived long and had
especial opportunities for observation in
Turkey. has been inspiring me with a
somewhat novel view Of the Turkish
character
Il had always supposed that cruel as
Turk meant very cruel, indeed. and
that they were absolutely without re.

why, no." said the lady. "You
wrong them. have never known Q
more gentle, courteous aud kindly race

Turkey, and he was an English doctor.
They are ignorant, OF course. but kind
to their women"
"What" said. Chow about polyga-

wives as we do. but views Of morality

some Of our customs very dreadful. Just

with all its faults, Is very necessary to
the peace of Europe. Better to have her

An Afternoon Concert.
Over on the west side of New York
city among the great ships which lie at
their wharves strange sight may be wit
messed every afternoon Two great Sound
steamers Of rival lines lie side BY side
near the foot Of Warren street waiting
for passengers to Boston. Composition
for business has become pretty sharp be-
one feature Of that competitor Is tho play
ing of their bands on the after decks
when It Is pleasant The bands can BE-
heard Tar up the street, not always agree
ing perfectly. While the leader Of one
is asserting that Annie Rooney Is his
sweetheart, the other may be greeting
the announcement with doleful straias
OF "The Heart Bowed Down." AS start
ing time draws near tho music becomes
nvelisr Then the street urchins from
blocks around gather about the wharvss
and dance riadoons and pigeon wings to
tho merry strains And the passengers
sit aft and take IL In with great satisfac-
ton.
Keeping the Time Of Boats.
know keeper of pleasure boats near
New York who has devised . most in
genious scheme to keep accounts of the
amounts due by those who hire them.
Each boat Is numbered. and upon an up
right screen back of the wharf are as
many rude clock dials a. there are boats,
and similarly numbered. Above them
all is q real clock. As each boat goes
out the owner notes the time and sets
the hands on the dial bearing the CORES.
peuding number to that DO &. Whom
the boat returns glance at the dial and
at the clock above 1t Is enough to tell
fast how long It has been out
Some such eontrivauce - this Is
almost necessary to handle the crowds at
boating resorts. The Old method OF
book kseping was slow and cnmbruus in
comparison.

his time and white paper writing poetry
when he might have been or doing some
thing equally practical.
There IL . considerable practical streak
in Mr.. Miller, however. When the late

Miller was one Of the three who divided
