He Met q Widow In philadelphia, and
She Was His.
Just outside the Pennsylvania depot
stood a colored woman, about forty
years old, smoking apipe, while satchel
rested on the planks at her feet She
had come up from Philadelphia, and was
bound for some town up the Hudson.
By and by middle aged colored man,
who had horse and cart outside, came
In and noticed the woman as he looked
about. After surveying her for mo-
ment he approached and bowed and
scraped and saluted:
"Good mawnin, lady-good mawnin.
Was yo' in trouble dis mawnin?'
'No, sab, / wasn't in any trouble"
she replied.
"'Scuse me, lady, but yo' was strange

she replied. as she tried to look shy.
"Huhl OATS quare nuffl My ole

She looked at him with renewed inter-
est as she smoked away, and he drew
little closer as he said:
'sDoan' see no chilpen round yere wild
yo'?"
"Hain't got none," she replied.
Size got two, an dey is powerful good,

"Hiep

She returned to the waiting room with
him, and they sat down together on a
back seat Half an hour later he came
out alone with happy smile on his face,
and approaching a teamster who was
waiting to drive on to the ferryboat, he
waved his hand and said:

PURIFIED BY SMOKE.
Peasants Who Wanted to Guard Agalns
Cattle Disease Among Travellers.

Peasants Who Wanted to Guard Against
Cattle Disease Among Travellers.
Nothing of interest happened to us
until late in the evening, when, Just as
as we were turning up from the river
into small peasant villages, the name
of which have now forgotten, both we
and our horses were startled by the sud
den appearance of wild-loolsing man,
In long, tattered sheepslsin coat, who,
from the shelter of projecting cliff,
sprang into the road ahead of us, shout
ing hoarse but unintelligible warning,
and brandishing in the air an armful of
blazing birch bark and straw, writes
George Kennan, in the Century.
"What's the matter?" / said to our
driver, as the horse recoiled in fright
"It's the plague-guard," he replied.
"He says we must be smoked"
The cattle-plague was then prevailing
extensively in the valley of the upper
Yenisei, and it appeared that around
this village the peasants had established
a sanitary Gordon with the hope of pro-
tecting their own live stock from con-
tagion. They had heard Of the virtues
of fumigation, and were subjecting TO
that process every vehicle that passed
the village limits. The 'plague-guard"
burned straw, birch-bark and other in
fammable and smoke-producing sub
stances around and under our pavoska
until we were half-strangled and our
horses were frantic with fear, and then
he told us gravely that we were "puri-
fed" and might proceed.

THE INTRUSIVE TURK.
He Is Always Ready to Thrust Himself
Upon Others.

He Is Always Ready to Thrust Himself
Upon Others.
The turkey" Of diplomatists and map
makers means, not the land Of the
Turk, but those lands-Greek, Bulga-
rian, Servian and Albanian-in which
their enemy the Turk is still encamped.
On no spot Of Europe, says a writer in
tho Forum, on no spot of the coast of
Asia, Is the Turk really at home. He
Is everywhere foreign intruder, a
burglar who has thrust himself into
the houses Of other men. While other
conquests have in time changed into
lawful possessions, either by the con-
querors assimilating the conquered, or
the conquered assimilating the conquer
ors, the Turk remains as much O
stranger in Europe as he was when he
first came in, more than five hundred
years back. And so it must ever be as
long us the Turk remains Turk; for
no Mahometan rule can, without cast
ing aside the precepts Of his own laws,
become what a ruler is bound to be
towards the subjects of other reli-
gions. 1t is his first duty as Mahom-
etan to keep men of all other creeds-
the Christian in Europe, the Fire-Wor-
shipper in Persia, the Hindoo in India
in bondage to the men of the dominant
faith. He therefore cannot reform;
promises of reform 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 eye of more powerful Euro
peans.
To talk of Turkish government"
is therefore a mere diplomatic con-
ventionality. There is no Turkish
government. The object of govern
ment" is the protection of its subjects;
and that the Turk does not give. The
so-called Turkish government" is an
organized system of brigandage with a
chief brigand called "sultan" at its
head.

California Pearls.

One Of the largest pearl fishing
grounds in the world is the gulf Of Cali
fornia. The pearls are not generally
regular in shape or very pure in color,
but some are Of large size, and many Of
the rare black pearls are found. The
divers are Indians, and their equipment
Is OF the simplest kind, consisting only
Of n basket hung round tho neck, in
which to collect the oysters, a knife, to
detach them from the rocks, and a
stone with cord attached. When q
diver goes down he takes the cord be-
tween his toes, the weight OF the stone
carrying him at once TO the bottom.
He gathers oysters as long as his breath
holds out, and then rises TO the surface,
TO descend again in fifteen minutes.
Some Of the divers are wonderfully ex-
pert, and can remain under water as
much as two minutes before rising TO
the surface. The mortality among
them is fearful, for the gulf Of Califor-
mia is infested with huge sharks

THE DOGS OF WAR.
CANNES Employed as Life-savers In {
German Army.

CANNES Employed as Life-savers In the
German Army.
In France, Italy, Germany and Aus
tria, as well as in Bosnia and Herze-
govina, the value Of war dogs has been
fully tested, and the idea has answe red
excellently with the outposts as well as
with tho patrol. But to the German
army belongs the merit of having made
use Of the dogs sagacity for humane
purposes in times Of war, and it is prob
able that before long number Of fresh
canine recruits will be permanently at
tached TO the German regiments, their
Office being TO search for the wounded,
says the Army and Navy Gazette.
The Prussian jaeger battalions have
already number of such dogs on trial,
all Of them being thoroughly trained to
seek out wounded soldiers in the field.
The experiments so far have been car
ried out, my informant says, as follows:
A number Of men hide in wood, or
behind hedges, lying on the ground face
downward, and with orders not TO
move. AS soon as the dogs are let loose
they begin the search. When they find
one Of these men they place their fore
paws upon the PROSTATE body and be-
gin TO bark, an exercise which is con-
tinued till the bearers appear and carry
the man off, whereupon the dogs start
afresh. Each company Of the Lubben
Jager has about twelve OF these dogs.
Hunting dogs cannot be relied upon
on account OF their love of the chase,
and therefore sheepdogs or Pomeranian
spitzhunde are chosen for the work.

DUTCH APPETITES.
The Fare Laid Before a Stranger in the
Land Of Excellent Trenchmsn.

The Fare Laid Before Stranger In the
Land OF Excellent Trsnchmsn.
A stranger dining for the first time in
Dutch tavern sees few novelties.
First Of all he is struck by the great
size and thickness of the plates, proper
tionate to the national appetite; and in
many places he will find napkin Of
fine white paper, folded in three-cor-
nered shape and stamped with border
Of flowers, little landscape in the cor
ner, and the name of the hotel or cafe,
with bon appetit in large blue letters.
The stranger, says the author of Hol-
land and Its People, to be sure of his
facts, will order roast beef and they
will bring him half n dozen slices as
large as cabbage leaves; or beefsteak,
pnd he is presented with a sort of cush-
ion Of raw meat, enough to satisfy a
family; or fish, and there appears q
marine animal nearly as long as the
table; and with each Of these come q
mountain Of boiled potatoes and q pot
Of vigorous mustard. OF bread, little
thin slice about as big as dollar, most
displeasing TO us Latins, whose habit It
is to devour bread in quantities, so that
in a Dutch tavern one must be con-
stantly asking for more, TO the great
amusement of the walters.
With any one Of these three dishes,
and glass Of Bavarian or Amsterdam
beer, an honest man may be said to have
dined. AS for wine, whoever has the
cramp in his purse will not talk of wine
in Holland, since it is extremely dear;
but, as purses here are pretty generally
robust, almost all middle-class Dutch
men and their betters drink it; and
there are certainly few countries where
so great variety and abundance of
foreign wines are found as in Holland,
French and Rhi0o wines especially.

Of the temperate zone, one of those
nights on which all the poetry in a

It was, therefore, strange to behold a
young couple facing each other and re-

and chilling that an iceberg would have
seemed like y furnace in their vicinity.

throwing a colder glitter into her eyes
than had previously illumined them,
she added; perhaps he loves me better
than you do"

youth, sardonically; without doubt he
loves you, for I've heard him praising

She was silent while you could have

Then she said:

And as they passed out Of the moon

himself:
