Turkish Proverbs.

The following problems, taken Mt ran
dom from the hundreds in daily use in
Turkey, are not uninteresting:
Do not burn coyerlct for the sake Of
one flea.
The camel being asked, "Why is your
neck so crooked| answered, what
mart of me is straight?'
Success and failure are shareholders
In stock.
Water finds its rest; an enemy never.
The house was burned, but the bed
bugs went also. Go loss without some
gain.
A fly is nothing, but it spoils the ap-
petite.
The chicken drinks water and looks
I'D to heaven. (Thankfulness)
Once in forty years / set out to steal
and then the moon shOne oil night.

Our Diplomatic Service.

The diplomatic service has sometimes
been assailed in Congress as purely
ornamental one; and while the evident
necessity of maintaining the service is
such as ought to save 1t from the de-
structionists it is quite true that our
diplomatic relations with some of the
mowers are more ceremOnious than
practical. But we must be equipped
and prepared for emergencies, and ey-
cry now and then, even at the small
est and most remote courts, there Is
a critical need of an American repre-
sentative to protect American citizens
or American nterests.-Ladies' Home

Magnets as Harbor Defonses.

A well-known scientific expert has
conceived the idea of magnetizing large
bodies of iron, such as WORKOUT can
non, by means Of powerful electric
current and using them to protect sea-
ports from belligerent battleships. A
wire leading from the shore to the can
non would communicate that current
when it was needed, and as soon as an
enemys ironclad attempted to cross
the harbor bar the current would be
turned on AS the ship steamed over
the invisible magnets the two nearest
cannon would rise and cling to the yes
sci With such force as to stop her ct.=
tireIy.

MALAGA IN JULY.
The Old Spanish City Has Little ia
Offer the Sight.Seer.


1t was July, and we had arrived at
Malaga from Marseilles by water. The
town lay white and shining under
barren amphitheater of mountains. Be
tween it and the Vinuesa was a great
stretch Of hot hazy, shimmering, sunlit
water, over which little boats, each
with white awning up, pulled out to
meet US. We had read in Mr.. Hare's
"Wanderings in Spain" Of the extortion
and shocking manners Of Malaga's
boatmen; the same story was in Muir
ray, with an added warning to keep our
temper. But we had no trouble.
Once we had Landed, and on the open
quay ]. had unstrapped and unlocked
all our bags for a customs officer who
was too lazy to look into them; and at
the Hotel Victoria the landlord had
given us large, clean, airy, brick-foor-
ed bedroom, for which he asked less
than the guide book told us to beat him
down to- we were free, without further
delay OF bother, to make our plans and
be off on the road at any moment we
chose.
But first Of all we went out to have a
look at Malaga Who was it said that
sightseeing Is the art Of disappoint-
ment? Surely we had not come all this
way to the town Of Hamet ell Zegri, to
walk through brand-new, wide streets,
lined with big modern shops and clubs
and cafes. The huge interior of the
cathedral was unimpreSsive. The
broken walls Of the old Moorish fortress
stood on the top Of far too high hill
to be climbed in the staring sunshine
of July day. And even Murray could
direct us to nothing else but plain,
bare church, where the banner Of st.
Ferdinand is said to hang, which we
found fast shut; and an old Moorish
arch, now neatly restored; and river,
dried up by the blazing sun Of tropical
summer, with a railway track running
down the middle Of its bed, between
groups Of wooden shanties. We met
women In black lace mantillas, or else
In long, pointed shawls, a gay flower
stuck in their hair, and men with clean
shaven faces, in low, broad-brimmed
hats and wide red belts. We saw plenty
of donkeys in bright, gaudy trappings,
but this was all the costume. We ought
to have known better than to expect
more. Still, somehow, its absence add
ed to the grayness Of our first impress

The Oldest Crown in Existence.

The crown of the Gar of Russia is
very old, but it is a comparatively mod.
ern bauble compared to the tiara Of
Saitapharnes, which was worn about
the time of Aristotle, four centuries be-
fore Christ. 1t is in perfect preserva-
ton, and has recently been acquired
by the French government for the
Louvre. The tiara was evidently made
to be worn on a cap, its dimensions be-
ing too small to permit Of it's covering
the entire head. The tiara was found
in an ancient tomb in the Crimea. 1t
bore in Greek the following inscription:
THE Senate and people of OlbiopOlis
to the great and uncOnquered King
SaitapharneS."

An Actress Salary.

Sarah Bernhardt's salary Is S1,5U0
week. Yvette Guilbert received under
her recent contract $1,000 week, and
Calve earns 81 200 for each of her APP
pearances. Olga Nethersole earns $20O
a week. What with his salary and per-
centage Of the receipts John Drew
makes In good times $500 a week. A
competent leading man or woman, like
Henry Miller or Herbert Kelley, Viola
Allen or Isabel Irving, can be had for
5000 a week. The only player that has
ever received, even in this prodigal
country, a salary equal to that or
Bernhardt was Nine. Modjeska. Edwin
Booth. who knew nothing about the
value Of money, once engaged the
Polish actress at a salary Of $1,000
week. Mr.. Grau's contract with Gull
bert lasted only two weeks, after which
he returned to the cheap prices OF
Paris. Calves contract lasted five
months, but during that time she sings
only twice or three times a week, after
which she returns to the moderate sal
aries Of Europe. Melba receives ST.
500 night in this country, but in Paris
Ia content with $500 a performance.
But Sarah Bernhardt's contract con-
tinues through summer and winter and
every Saturday night she pockets ST.
500. Taking one thing with another,
the actress Is better off than the sing
ers. Averaging the entire income of
each performance, we should say that
Calve earns $4,000 a year, Guilbert
about s35, 1000, while Bernhardt is sure
of $4,000 annually for five years

a view to putting In motor line from

vile, Lebanon, Tangent, and Albany.
Sodaville people have come to the
front and already have subscribed
about $500 in labor, land and money
and say they will do more If necessary,
and 1t now remains to be seen what
Lebanon and Waterloo will do. A
mass meeting will be held in Lebanon

this city last Saturday between Water
loo and Lebanon. The Lebanon team
went on the diamond without having
practiced at all, and played very fair
ball. Waterloo claimed that they
were playing ball without practice.
The game was close all the way
through and 1t was not until the last
half of the ninth inning was begun,
that any idea could be formed as 10
who would be the yictors. George

COURT HOUSE SQUARE,

AS was foreshadowed in these
recently, a committee
of citizens did wait on the Board
of County Commissioners at their
meeting IN this city Monday
and ask for the privilege OF maks
ing improvements on the court
house square and also for the CO.
operation of the Board in so do
ing.
The main object that this CONS
mittee had in view was to furnish
some place where the young
people and older ones, too, could
resort to during the warm sum
mer season and enjoy the breezes
at eventide without molestation
and in a place where nature was
most attractive. With this object
lin view it was their purpose to
Hay off walks in the square, place
irustic seats thereon, and place
foundations on the grounds.
This committee succeeded in
obtaining the privilege, and the
Board agreed to appropriate
1900 year for this purpose,
provided the City of Goldsboro
appropriate an equal amount
The Board also appointed com
mittee to act with a similar com.
mittee on the part of the city
with a REV to making these i'm
iprovementS.

vision of the grounds will be Ief
ientirely with the city.
