a,sJ year In Turkey, not far from Consuan-
hnople.
During a festival of the Mohammedans
well to do merchant named Funducki
dressed his child, boy of 3, in his finest
costume, which included silk velvet cap
ornamented with a number of gold coins.
The child was always in charge of faith
full slave, an old negro woman, who had
been his attendant since his birth.
The woman, being called into the house
On some business, left the child seated in
che open court, which in Turkey, as ID
southern Spain, is peculiar to the better
class of residences. On the return of the
nurse the child was gone, and although an
immediate search was instituted no trace
IF the little fellow was found.
In his sore straits the heartbroken father
applied for help to the scraskier. or military
commander, of the district.
The officer on reflection came to the con-
illusion that the child, on account of its
:ries, could not have been taken far, and
that some of the neighbors were RESPONSE
ole for the abduction.
Without communicating his suspicious
70 any one the officer directed a member
If his staff to enter the neighboring mosque
that evening at the hour of prayer and in a
voice that the worshipers could hear to
summon the imam, or priest, to come i'm
mediately to the military palace.
Though very unusual proceeding, the
priest obeyed When he came into the sol
iier's presence, he received this order and
was more puzzled than ever:
Come back here in the morning and
have for me the name of the person who
first came to ask you why had sent for
your
The Turks are, as a rule, as wanting In
curiosity as the North American Indians.
Consequently on returning to the mosque
only one man came to the priest to ask the
reason for such an extraordinary summons.
The priest gave an oracular reply and re-
ported the circumstance to the officer SO
commanded.
With the promptness Of man now sure
Of his ground, the scraskier sent soldiers to
arrest the inquisitive man. He was brought
into the commander presence and charged
with the murder of the child. Stoutly and
swearing by the holy name Of the prophet,
the accused denied his guilt.
Meanwhile other soldiers who had been
making search of the mans house put in
an appearance, having with them the body
Oh Un0 murdered cQllu GHstb udu Uccu AouHO
buried under the stairs @ the house OF the
man who on their return was swearing to
his own innocence.
It is only in Turkey, where legal methods
are arbitrary, that detection could have
come so quickly, and it is only in such
lands that the penalty follows close on the
heels of the crime.
Within one hour the culprit was tried,
sentenced and drowned in the waters of the
sea of Marmora

An important step in fish culture has
recently been made by the United States
commission of fisheries. Commissioner
Marshall Mcdonald will be able to dem

sturgeon is.as practicable as that of the
shad or trout The sturgeon fishery pro-
duces a most important export in its
caviare. 1t is one of the most valuable
of the coast Industries, and its present
condition seems to warrant all the efforts
of scientific fish culture. In 1888 exper-
iments in the Matching of sturgeon were
carried on at Delaware City, Del, by the
commission, but they were so little sue
cessful that until the present no further
efforts were deemed advisable.
The results that have just been at

watch, which he observed closely, only
raising his eyes now and then to glance
at the beautiful girl, who seemed to be
in such agony. Five seconds, 10, is, 20
