The porte is the short name Of the
sublime porte, which is the official way
Of speaking of the Turkish government.
In the east judicial business is transact
ed at the city or palace gates. One story
says that the sultan OF Bagdad put in
the portal Of his palace piece Of sacred
black stone Of Mecca, thus making his
gate the porte. Another says that Sultan
Orkhan built a gorgeous gate to his
place in Broussn. Both Of those stories
are probably untrue go far as they pur-
port to explain the name as applied to
the Turkish government. just as the
British court is called the court Of St.
James and The late French court that
of the Tuileries, because their head
quarters were in the palaces Of St.
James and the Tuileries respectively, so
the Turkish court got the name sublime
porte because its headquarters were in
the palace of Bab-i-Humayun, or the
Lofty Gate, In Constantinople. The
name has been attached TO the building
in that city which shelters the four prin-
cipal departments Of the government. =

Wood Pulp HOllOwwars.

Wood pulp hollowware is made in
molds of any desired shape readily
opened and the moisture is driven ont
by compressed air through fine netting,
the mesh holding the pulp, but permit
ting the water to escape. After the pulp
is shaped, either into inclosed hollow
ware or other decorative articles, 1t is
treated chemically SO as to harden and
toughen the pulp. By special treat
ment It is given the appearance OF CHI
na, having also the valuable properties
Of resisting acids, oils, etc., which
makes it adapted to oil cans, pickle
packages and similar articles. The glaz-
cd hollowware is intended to take the
place Of glass or tin for canned goods
and for vases. iardinieres and other or
namental articles in imitation OF earth
enware, pottery and china. Such arti-
oles made Of wood pulp will not chip OF
crack. They can be dropped with i'm
punity and will stand considerable more
usage than articles Of other materials.
Tho numerous applications OF wood
pulp, many Of which have been men
toned in these columns, point 70 the ok

The women in the Neudorf Convent
prison were all so kindly in their ways, |
so peaceful and good humOred, they
differed so completely from our precon-
ceived ideas Of criminals, that we were
puzzled to imagine what could have
brought them into prison. We had mover
a doubt but that their offenses were Of
the most trivial nature, and we said so.
The superior gave us one of her odd,
humorous smiles.
''Did you notice that woman in the
CORRIDOR" she asked. "She IS Marie
Schneider. -
That insignificant looking little wom-
an, who had stood aside with gentle
deprecative smile to allow us to pass,

Nor is she, as we soon found, the on

prisoners is delicate looking girl, with
large brown eyes and golden hair-a

singularly sweet, innocent expression.

done to be sent here?' whispered.
"Done?' the inspector replied grim.

Leaves That Are Fifty Feet Long.


In our temperate climate none of the
trees has leaves Of size that will even
compare favorably with those Of the sea
island and tropical countries in general
The maple, the oak and the elm leaves
are but infnitesimal bits Of green when
compared with the gigantic sheets OF
velvoty verdure found on some Of the
trees, shrubs and plants Of South and
Central America.
The South American tree which has
the largest leaf is the Inaja palm, which
grows on the banks Of the Amazon. The
leaves Of this giant are often 80 feet in
length, but they are very narrow, sell
dom exceeding to 10 feet With the
Ceylonese cocoanut palm it is different.
In that species the leaves are from 30 to
25 feet in length and from 10 to 1S in
width. The natives Of Ccylon are said
to use these leaves in tentmaking, three
or four being sufficient to make a shelter
for whole family. An extraordinary
specimen of Ceylonese palm leaf now in
the British museum. and which must be
a freak-because the average length and
breadth of the leaves of this variety Of
trees do not exceed the figures given

Said Horny Billings, retired rail
road engineer:
II was running a night train ON the
Santa Fe road back in the seventies.
This particular night had been stormy
and threatening, and the flashes Of
lightning were frequent and intense.
We were running ahead Of our schedule
in order to make a siding in time TO al
low an extra to pass rs, and were travel
ing, / suppose, at the rate OF about 80
OF 85 miles an hour
II was sitting with my face close to
the forward window Of the cab, gazing
straight ahead, when in a brilliant
blaze Of electricity mans arm and
head suddenly burst with great force
through the glass and the open hand
struck me squarely in the face ! was
dazed for an instant by the blow, and
held blindly to the side of the cab. My
first thought was that some tramp was
trying to hold up my train to rob the
passengers, and, acting on this idea, l
seized my wrench from its place and
dealt the head Of the intruder a blow
with all my might.
The fireman, thinking had killed
the man, shut of steam and we slowed
down and took our lanterns to examine
the strange visitor. could not describe
the feeling that crept over me when
climbed upon the engine and looked at
the man whom believed had attacked
me. His entire body below the arms was
gone. It was easy to understand what
had happened. He had been struck by
the rapidly moving engine and his body
severed as With a knife, the lower hall
falling to one side and the head ant
arms flying straight through the cal
window. ATLANTA Journal.
