paratively long poem, which has not
yet reached us, but notices of which
appear in the English papers, is high
ly praised by the Spectator. The poem
is entitled Hymn to the Sea-" The
Spectator says: There is not line in
it which is not a great line.
In this noble poem, mistermed hymn,
but all the more wonderful, for the
purely imaginative character of it's

all competent critics will not recognize
at last that we have among us another

DOGS OF CoNSTANTINoPLE.
vagabond Ours that Are Well Treated by
the Turks.


the Turks.
Myriads of dogs people every street.
They lie asleep in the midst of the
thickest thoroughfares. and act as
scavengers in the day and as disturb
ers of sleep at night, for when the sun
goes down, and it grows cold, they be-
gin to range about and settle their
disputes about the limits of their do
mains. A group with leading dog,
their captain, pasha, occupy each
street; they know, and are recognized
by the householders, who feed them
with that benevolence to animals
which distinguishes the Turk. But
if a strange dog intrudes he must be
expelled by force and with great
clamor.'
The type of these animals is uni
form, a woolly creature, with warm
coat, about the size of large sheep
dog, of a yellowish color, and with
that wolfish air which our collie still
retains. But though homeless and
masterless, these dogs are not only
tame but kindly; they never bite any
body, and it is most remarkabl that
they never have an outbreak of hydro
phobia. One shoulders to think of the
consequences were such a thing to
happen. Half Constantinople would
be bitten, and fifty Pasteurs would
not save it from horrible epidemic.
But dogs kept in natural conditions
seem quite safe never found Scotch
keeper or gillie who had seen a case of
the disease, and yet they live among
dogs all their lives.
l saw in Constantinople an old dog,
on cold and wet day, drive young
one off the dry and warm spot on
which he was curled up asleep, and
take it for himself. This was the
worst act of injustice ever saw then
commit. 1t is owing to the hu
manity of the Turks that this curious
population is SO vastly superior to the
pariah dogs, poor, starved creatures
Of other oriental city streets.
/ noticed the same superiority in the
condition and temper of the horses
You see them on stands, ready fol
hire, like the donlseys of Cairo or Alex
andria- They have a warm sheepskir

the woodShed door wouldn't SHUT, and
at three o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Gallup came home to tinker things.
He found the kitchen door open and
walked in and looked around for Mrs.
Gallup, but she was not to be seen.
He had gotten hammer and nails from
the woodshed and was about to go out
70 the hen house, when Mrs. Gallup
family called him from the downstairs
bedroom. Mr.. Gallup stood irresolute
Tor a moment and then went in to
her. She was lying on the bed with a
towel around her head and the family
Bible in her hands.

sighed Mrs. Gallup, as she feebly
opened her eyes, Samuel, I prayed
that you might git here in time to kiss
me on the chin and say good-by, and
you are here. hev just three minutes
to live!"
Mr.. Gallup ought to have been very
much startled and upset, but he
wasn't. He scratched his head and
made purring sound and took the
camphor bottle off the bureau and
shifted heartily at its contents.
"You'd bin gone about an hour"
said Mrs Gallup, in a stronger voice,
''and was jest sayin' to myself that
I'D probably live twenty years yet,
when the Lord suddenly called me.
Yes, Samuel, warnin' was sent me
that I must prepar' to spread my
golden wings and flap from airth

when it stopped with c sort of whirr,
and at the same mint that big yaller

That's exactly what happened to Mrs

they died, and Elder Spconer said it
was the Lords way of tellin' 'em that
they'd better git ready fur everlastin'
bliss. Samuel, don't you want to kiss
my chin and promise me you won't
take second wife till I've bin dead
a yearP"
Mr. Gallup evidently didn't. He
took a second sniff at the camphor bot
tie, and then turned and went out into
the kitchen and from thence to the
woodshed, to find an old bootleg from
which to cut a hinge for the henhouse
door, He found what he wanted, and
was ready to go about his work when
Mrs Gallup appeared. She had left
the Bible behind, but the towel was
still tied around her head. and she had
slipped her feet into her shoes without
tying them up.
I'm sorry that shan't be here to
get your supper, Samuel, "she said, as
she leaned up against the kitchen
door; it'll be the first supper I've
MISSED fur twenty-one years, but
when a person is called, she must 60
You'll hev to make out on cold vittles

you'd like to hev sit up with the corpse
tonight, Samuel? l did think I'd like
tohev Mrs. Teachout and Mrs. Gregory,
Sut both of 'em are awful eaters and
great hands to look around through
closets and drawers. Mebbe you'd bet
ter git Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Tyler.
They won't want much to eat, and
.hey are SIGH gossips they won't hev
time to look around"
Mr.. Gallup walked down the path
leading to the barn and turned aside
to the henhouse. One of the leather
hinges on the door had worn out, and
he was knocking the pieces off with
his hammer when Mrs. Gallup arrived.

BOYCOTTS DOCTORS.
CAPTAIN SMITH, OF OAKLAND,
WILL NOT HAVE THEM.
Pins His Faith on Christian Science
and Says: ''ThrOw Physic to the
Dogs; rII None of It."

OAKLAND, Cal, July T.-Captain J.
W. Smith, the well-known capitalist ana
railroad man, has been outwitted by MS
friends and a doctor. They entered MS
room when the captain was asleep, had
an examination made and ascertained the
cause of Smiths illness. The matter was
kept a secret from the sick man, and he
does not know yet that he has had the
service of a physician.
Captain Smith has been confined to his
bed for several days, and for time MS
friends feared that he would die. He is
a member of the Christian Science church
of this city and has no faith in ply
sicians. During the past week he mas
had the services of Christian Science
healers, and he claims that they nave
done him much good. The old captain is
q thorough believer in Christian Science
and he hates physicians. He declares
that he would not have a doctor in the
house if he was going to die the next
minute.
and they were notified of his serious III
ness. They desired that he should nave
a physician attend him, and so notified
his friends. Captain Smith was asked TO
submit to an examination, but he posi-
lively refused to do so.
The old man was fast asleep when his
friends secured the services of a ply
stefan and entered the sick room. The
doctor at once commenced an eXamina-
ton which lasted nearly half an hour,
and during which time Captain Smith
slept soundly. At the conclusion of the
examination the party withdrew from
the room, and the sick man was none the
wiser for the visit. The doctor was anX-
ious to prescribe for the sick man, who,
he said, is suffering from Bright's dis
ease. but he was told that prescriptions
would be useless, as the patient would
not allow a drop of medicine to be
brought into his room. When he was
first taken sick, he had ordered a boy
colt placed on medicine and announced
that he pinned his faith to the Christian
Science healers. who. he said were his
friends. He declared that if they could
not cure him, then there was no chance
for him to live Today the captain seems
to be on the road 20 recovery, and in
consequence the Christian Science healers
are happy and confident.
His son, Charles Smith; has arrived
from Denver and taken charge of his
father, He is going to try to persuade
the old gentleman 10 give up the Chris
tan Science treatment and place himself
under the care of regular physicians.

1 be sent to prison for twenty years
for the mention of these wrongs to
my wife and friends?
The honorable judges will notice
that refer in the letter to my wife
to two assaults upon me by certain
soldiers, whose names L am unable TO
give. AS to the first of these attacks,
I informed the French authorities
through the United States consul act
ing. Subsequently the chief of the
French police called at my house in
Madagascar. Without the clear estab-
hshment Of the charge, I contend that
I should not be imprisoned even for a
day.
It would not fail to call the atten-
ton of the honorable judges to the
fact that in all criminal matters
where one Is on trial charged with
grave offense, all the circumstances of
the case must be taken into consider
alton and the accused given the benefit
of every reasonable doubt.
1.-THE court will see all the exteIl-
uating circumstances surrounding the
case. Again, I maintain that the
court should ascertain so far as posi-
bic, the future intentions of the ac-
cuSed under a charge of this kind, to
find, If possible, whether it is the in
tention Of the accused to remain here
and whether he has actual arrange
ments with the enemy to assist them
against the army of the republic.
''The letters and the evidence will
show the contrary, which circumstance
should be placed in my favor in COM
ing to a judgment in this case.
1.-The time of my departure from the
capital, September 3, 1894, must not be
lost sight of. 1 have explained the
Drapert and Pundy matter with me:
and show how they have robbed and
then made a laugh about it, and they
have been paid money by me on con-
tract, which they have never even at
tempted to perform, which failure re-
suited in a loss to me Of more than
$40, O00
cit is these men whom I actually
mean in my letter and which I desig
mated as D and P having warned my
wife against them and mentioned them
as D and P in a postscript to the let
ter. While it is clear to me that it
was indiscreet to make such mention
of them, yet cannot believe that this
honorable court, after a careful and
impartial examination of all the cir
cumstances and facts of this case, say
that I have viola ted article -. of the
penal code. France has always been
noted for her love of justice and lib
erty and for her broad and generous
treatment of all, of whatever nation

gloves is expressly prohibited by the

and
whereas, any supposed temporary
benefit resulting therefrom will be
dearly acquired at the expense of the
will of the people, and
Whereas, Texas, with her hospitable

Whereas, the constitution of the
state enjoins that the executive shall
cause the laws to be faithfully exc
