An honest compliment was that paid TO
Nj. de Vendome, who, while command
ing the French army in Italy, dispatched
young nobleman to announce to his
master the victory he had gained at SUI
cara. The latter, while attempting to de-
scribe the battle, became several times
much confused in his narrative, when,
although the King preserved his gravity,
the Duchess of Burgundy, who was pres
ent, laughed SO heartily that at last the
young gentleman said, ''Sire. it is easier
for Nj. de Vendome to win battle than
for me to describe it," Knowing when
to accept defeat brought a compliment
once to the Marquis of Uxelles. He,

enemy the Turk IS still encamped. On

either by the conquerorS assmilating the

the conquerors, the Turk remains as
much stranger in Europe as he was

Turk; for no Mahomedan ruler can, with
out casting aside the precepts of his own
law, become what ruler is bound to be
toward the subjects of other religions.
1t is his first duty as a Mahomedan TO
keep men of all other creeds-the Christ
ian in Europe, the Fire Worshiper in
Persia, the Hindoo in India-in bondage
TO the men of the dominant faith He
therefore cannot reform; promises Of re-
form made by the Turk are in their own
nature worthless. They are nowhere
carried out, unless when the Turk is
afraid to break them under the eve Of
more powerful Europeans. To talk OF
Turkish Government is therefore a
mere diplomatic conventionality. There
is no Turkish Government" The OBJ
iect of government is the protection
OF its subjects; and that the Turk does
not give. The so-called Turkish Gov
eminent is an organized system of bri-
gandage with chief brigaad called a

Improved Fruits of the Fut,,re.

In comparing the earlier descriptions
of fruits with modern accounts it is well
to remember that the high standards by
which fruits are now judged are of recent
establishment. Fruits which would once
have been esteemed excellent would to-
day be passed by as unworthy of regard.
It seems probable that the list of seedless
fruits will be materially heightened, pro-
vided our experimental horticulturists
make use of the material at their COM
mand.
The common fruits which have very
few or no seeds are the banana, pine
apple and certain oranges. Others men
toned by Mr.. Darwin as well known are
the bread-fruit, pomegranate, aZarole, or
Neapolitan medlar, and date palms. In
commenting upon these fruits, Mr.. OAR
win says that most horticulturists "look
at the great size and anomalous develop
ment of the fruit as the cause and sterility
as the result" but he holds the opposite
view as more probable-that is, that the
sterility, coming about gradually, leaves
free for other growth the abundant sup
ply of building material which the form
ing seed would otherwise have. He adj
mits, however, that there is an antao-
onism between the two forms of repro
duction, by seeds and by buds. when
either is carried TO an extreme degree.
