 There is nothing reRiaTka bseFabout these
 dogs except their number and varied as-
 sortment. They are ever ywhere, in the
 middle of the sidewalk, inatkM gutter, in
 the doorways keeping drpwsy guard,
 under your feet, between your feet, 8
 puppy, small dog, medium sized dog,
 big dog, dog with tail, dog without tail, in short, dog, dog, dog. The dove is sacred in Constantinople; we found
 hundreds of them that had made their
 eyrie in the lofty tower of Galata. lean see some reason for that, the bird is so
 tame and beautiful; but why the dog
 should be sacred too, as it is, that is 8 I stickler. And yet have heard a reason assigned; take it for what it is worth.
 The dogs are the sef-appointea s-aS- engers fer the cirv. .i!IIhe; streets are dirty. The streets of nearly every
 Oriental city are dirty, for the people
 seem to think there is no other way to , live. If the refuse were allowed to lie and reek forth it's foulness, plaques
 would break out oftener than they do; but the dogs take the business into their own-hands or paws-and act as board , of health patrol. When these canines make their tours of inspection I do not know, as through all the day that we spent in the city every dog was sleeping,
 and it's profound slumber was not in the 1, least disturbed as we trod over it's body or stepped upon its tail.
 Constantinople boasts the Mosque of St
 Sophia. It is noble building, and it |, has history that makes it nobler still; 3 for originally it was not a Monammedan ! mosque, but Christian church. Here , John Chrysostom, the orator of golden speech, described the pathos of the Sa- . vior's life so tenderly that his audience : was suffased with tears. The Turk has ! ! [painted and smeared, but he has not suc- ceeded in covering over all the Christian ! I symbols. In spot on the gallery wall 3 to-day the guide, if he happens to be ' Greek, points out the sign of the Cross ' beneath the lacquered surface. Here J and there, too, the Moslem gliding poor . ly conceals the forms of angel, saint and : Saviour; but, thanks be to God, the {, Christian religion needs not these fading ' symbols to keep it's remembrance alive. e ITS SPIRIT LIVES
 D perfect through suffering.
 s The mosque of St Sophia is monu- 1T ment to the memory of the great Chris 8 tian Emperor Constantine. Begun in the j. fourth century, it was rebuilt and re e built by succeeding Roman Emperors l. and finished in the sixth century. Fire if and earthqua Ike have not overthrown it {; > Moslem conqueror riding through it's 2 courts, his horses hoofs weltering in the k blood of the slain, has not destroyed it.
