NOVEMBER METEoRs.-The follow,
ing little history of the November
meteors has been very happily called
the Romance of a Comet" In the
year 126 Of the Christian era a stray
comet made visit to the suns domain,
coming from the infinite depths OF
space, and intending to return to them.
1t chanced to come too near Uranus,
when the great planet madeit prison
er by force of attraction, changed its or
bit into an eclipse, aud it has ever since
continued to wander within the limits
of the solar system, and give about
three grand exhibitions to terrestrial
Observers every century.
The last exhibition took place 81
years ago, and so the next will be due
in 1899, just before the close ofthis GEN.
tury. The long looked for shower will
then appear, when the heavens will be
on fire and shooting stars by the mil
lions will be darting toward the earth.
The tiny meteors are called Leonids,
because their radiant point is in the
constellation of Leo, the lion. 1t is
well to look for them about the 18th,
for the earth captures every year few
stragglers along the path. They are
easily known, for they move swiftly,
have greenish or blush tint, with
vivid aud persistent trains.-Nely IorI

The TURKISH HAREM.-In recent
lecture or Turkey" Mr.. Oscar F.
Straus, ex-minister of the United States
to that country, threw some interesting
light upon most interesting phase of
Turkish life-the harem. The lecturer
admitted that his knowledge came eu-
tirely from hearsay. He had never
been in one and had never known q
diplomat who had. He pronounced
the institution not altogether unattract-
i've. Turkish women are not secluded
in the harem as in prison. They are
absolute mistresses of that side of
the house and are free to exercise
their rights indisputably. A Turkish
husband would not dare to enter his
wife's apartments when it is not her
pleasure that he should, and she has
only to place her slippers outside the
door to indicate such desire for seclu-
sion. In many ways the oriental wife
makes her caprices felt, and her spouse
can only submit with what grace he
may, like his occidental brother.
The right to divorce is vested with
the husband, but the divorce retires
with ali her property to her family and
may marry again at once. And this
right to hold property separately from
their husbands which English and
American women have only lately &C.
quired, has been the privilege of the
Turkish wife for a thousand years.
