Noisy ~Constantinople.

There is nothing, so far as l can see,
in which the oriental delights as much
as he does in making a noise. 1t is
most curious to find a whole people
without nerves., who can not talk with
out shouting, and who can not shout
without giving you the idea that they
are in great pain, and hal unless re-
lief comes promptly they will die. and
hat will be your fault. Those of them
who sell bread or fruits. or fish or
beads, or whatever it may be, in the
streets, below rather than shout, or
cry in sharp, agonizing shrieks, high
and nasal and fierce. They apparently
never ''move on" They always meet
under your window or at the corners of
a street, and there all shout at once,
and no one pays the least attention to
them. They might be lamp posts or
minarets, for all the notice they re-
ceive. l car imagine no fate or torture
so awful as to be taken i'll in Constan-
tinople and have to lie helpless and
listen to the street cries. to the tin
horns of the men who run ahead OF the
street cars-which incidentally gives
you ar idea of the speed of these cars
and to the snarling and barking of
thousands of street dogs.-Harper's
Weekly.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Where Pianos Are Taxed.

Pianos are taxed in Elizabeth and some
folk I know are very wrathy thereat. ]
think that by taxing pianos Elizabeth
has placed itself in the very van of En-.
lightment with the big E, for mark, aft.
er all, it is not the instrument but the
player thereof that must pay the tax. II
the principle that warrants the tax is
faulty in any particular, it is in the fact
that the tax is not graded according to
the skill or want of skill of the player.
Had I my way I would tax certain pianos
in this city 800 a year, and there are
others that I would report to the board
of health as nuisances that cried to
heaven for abatement. If Paderewski
would come to town with a piano or to
play on an instrument already here, ]
would exempt it from taxation.
l bless without mental reservation
that law giver whose wisdom devised
the tax upon pianos. He should have a
monument beside which the figure of
Liberty in the bay would be but a
pygmy. He has perhaps the maledic-
lions of half the piano torturers in
town, but 81 honor him for the enc
mics he has made" for the pianists he
has suppressed. I contend, however,
that the tax should be assessed not &C
cording to the value of the instrument,
but according to the skill Of the player.
The method I suggest would be most
equitable, it seems to me, and would go
far toward meeting all the expenses of
the city government. Elizabeth IN. J.)

It is estimated that $4,000, 000,-
900 would cover the entire wealth
of this country. It is also tear
fully stated Oh fairly good author
ity that $4,000 out Of a population
Of 62,372,401, own and control
more than half the available assets
of the country and are absorbing
the balance as fast as they know
how. Here is another fact, worth
stopping to consider: Every year
the American people squander in
strong drink $1,000, 600, 900, or
one-sixty-ffth Of the aggregation
wealth Of the country-a sum larger
than that fooled away for tobacco,
bread, shoes and several other nee
essities combined. The person who
lives to be sixty-fve years Of age
will have seen, if he has kept his
eyes peeled, every dollar Of national
wealth filtered through the Golfers
of the retailer in s%pirituous liquors.
And in the face Of this appalling
fact, the red nosed anarchist will
stand up to the bar, spend $3.50
for drink and then grumble because
the grocery dealer asks a profit of
twenty cents on a sack of -four he
subsequently purchases on time
after spending SO much for coffin
varnish that he might have
strength of breath to curse the
government for the down-trodden
condition Of those who labor by the
sweat of their brow. There is Just
reason for fearing that so long as
our people spend a billion dollars
every year for harmful beverages,
when water is SO cheap, universal
prosperity will continue to be some
thing Of an irridescent dream-at-
tainable, but not attained. Journal

Memories of 1871.

On the last week in May each year the
French socialists are accustomed to Gel
citrate the ''bloody week." which wit
messed the downfall of the Paris COM
mune in 1871, the killing of $4,000 of the
inhabitants and the exiting Of 1000
others. AS early as 1880, under the lead
ership of Gambetta and the moderate
Republicans, a general amnesty was
voted, with only five or six exceptions,
to the participants of the commune. 1t
is significant also that many OF the mu-
nicipal regulations which the commu-
nists demanded were afterward granted
by the chamber Of deputies.
"Bloody week" began on Sunday, May
81, when the Versailles troops enterc7
Paris by a breach in the fortiication
wall which the national guards had neg
lected to defend. They came in by the
Bots de Boulogne, and terrible street
fights continued daily until on the fol-
lowing Sunday, May 20, Marshal Nc
Mahon was in full possession of the city
and declared the commune at an end.
On May % the Versailles troops cap
tured the Central Market halls and
threatened General Bergeret, who was
stationed at the Tuileries. He was
forced to retire, blowing up and burning
the Tuileries as he left, but managed to
a v the Louvre, which some of his fol-
lowers wished also to destroy. The
fighting was mostly done by national
guardsmen against heavy odds and re-
suited in fearful slaughter; hence the
week has obtained its name.-New York
Herald.

IT is probable that the respon-

IT is probable that the respon-
sibility for the loss of the.Victoria
will rest with the late Vice Admiral
Sir George Tryon, who went down
with the ship. In time the blame
will fade out of mind and it will be
only remembered that he died like
a brave man at the post of honor
and duty. Mistakes T not re-
membered when bravery pleads.
Casabianca accomplished no good
purpose, but nobody ever thinks of
that, and the school children will
keep on repeating forever the story
of the brave boy who stood on the
burning deck. That the Victoria
was lost does not prove that Rear
Admiral Tryon was not a good
officer, it only shows that the best
trained eye may make a miscalcul-
alton as to distance. Nothing will
come of the disaster except a re-
minder of the old hymn, 'On What
a Slender Thread Hang Everlast-
ing Things"

Assistant Secretary Revnold of

Assistant Secretary Reynold Of
the interior department has made
a pension decision which will be
welcome news to the large number
of women who ministered to the
wounded soldiers in hospitals dur
ing the late war. They are to be
placed on the pension rolls. The
question arose upon a communicate
ion from the commissioner Of pen
sions as to whether those women
who superintended the diet Of the

The After Dinner Sneaker,

The after dinner speaker must not talk
nonsense and must not talk about moth
ing. But he must seem to be original,
no matter what leisure he may have Civ
en- to get at the sources-the headwaters
of his good things-and he must be bril-
liant, even though his brilliancies should
have been carefully thought out in the
dark. Wit is his province more than
wisdom, although a dash of the wisdom
may be tolerated if it is brought wrapped
up in wit and humor, like the sword of
Harmodius among the wreaths of laurel.

All Things to All Men.

The late Mr.. Broadwater of Montana
had the misfortune to be bowlegged,
which suggests an anecdote told of Sen
ator Sanders of that state. The senator
has always been opposed to Major Ma
ginnis of Montana and has been in the
habit of critcising his course with con-
siderable western freedom. "The trou-
BILE with Major Maginnis," he said on
one occasion, sis that he is all things to
all men. With a Republican, he is a
Republican,; with a Democrat, he is a
Democrat; with a Presbyterian, he is a
Presbyterian, and, by Jove, with Broad
water he is bowlegged."-New York
Tribune.
