CURIOUS FACTS IN REGARD TO

Howling Dervishes.

X RMENIANS are the Yankees
n of the orient. They are the
~ brightest, brainiest and
emartest Of all the people of
Asia Minor. I met the Armenians
everywhere during my travels in Asia
Minor, writes Frank G. Carpenter in
the Washington Star. and I found
them acting at the head of all kinds of
businesses. There are hundreds of
thousands of Arnenians in Europe.
There are a large number in Persia,
and those who live IN different parts
of Turkey are said to number about
one million. There are a number in
Constantinople. They manage most
of the banking business of the Turkish
capital, and the large mercantile es-
tablishments there belong to them.
When l visited the Government de.
partments of the Sultan I found that,
though the chief officers were Turks,
the clerks were, in most cases, Ar
menians, and the brightest man whom
I met in Turkey was ono of the Sui
tan's secretaries, who was of Armen-
ian birth. He spoke half dozen diff
ferent languages and was man of
great influence. The Armenians, of
Armenia proper, are almost all far
mers, and the exorbitant taxes of the
Sultan have made the most of them
poor.

johanna Has Been Taught to Write
and Can Draw.

Joharna, the big chimpanzee, who
is lodged in an iron-bound cage on the
secondhoor of the arsenal, in Central
Park, gave an exhibition of her liter
ery and artistic ability yesterday, says
the New York Sun, before several
newspaper men and friends of Keeper
Mckay and Assistant Director George
R. Burns. Johanna is q remarkable
ANIMAL In the first place she is the
most perfect specimen of her kind in
captivity since the death of the la.
mented Crowley. She is extremely
intelligent, and she and her keeper
seem to understand each other thor
oughlY She shows deep interest in
every movement he makes in her pres
ence, and being of an initiative nature
she often tries to do whatever he does.
Yesterday Mr.. Mckay drew a rough
sketchtof Johannes head on piece of
cardboard, and passed the drawing
and pencil to her. Johanna laid the
cardboard cn the floor, and when she
had studied the outlines of the sketch
CRITICALLY, she put the pencil between
her fingers and began little artistic
work on her own account. While at
work she squatted close to the floor,
and leaning sideways, she threw her
left arm across the top of the paper.
Her movements with the pencil were
awkward but quick, and she evidently
tried hard to copy exactly the motions
of herkeeper. When she had finished
she handed the cardboard and pencil
back to Mr.. Mckay, and he exhibited
her work to the astonlshed people.
The result of her artistic endeayor
would not, in all probability, receive
favorable mention from any artist out
side the Beardsley school, but it was
quite as Ineligible as some of the pic
lures put forth in these days. In the
rude fdrawing there was faint re-
sembl lnee to the lines of johannes.
: -etsiah - ~. a.
stn,iIes SO compiace Gently IN nef mirfofss
After the artistic exhibition Mr..
Mckay handed her a folded piece of
writing paper and the pencil. Then
he spoke few words to her in an un-
known tongue. Again she squatted
and put the paper on the floor. Taking
the pencil between her fingers she
made some scrawls on the paper that
would pass muster for handwriting IN
almost any printing Office.
These achievements OF Johannes
created great deal of amusement
among the company, and she seemed
to enjoy the entertainment quite as
much as those who witnessed it. AS

MISSES CAPE WITH HOOD.

The stylish cape of boucle cloth
shown in the second large illustration,
and designed by May Manton, is
handsomely lined with plaid silk.
The cape is shaped in circular outline,
and can be worn with OF without o
seam in center back, as best suits the
material. The shoulders are smooth,
smoothly fitted without darts, and it
falls to fashionable length in stylish
ripples all around. The collar can be
raised, with the fronts rolled as shown.
closed higher, or rolled over on cape
as preferred. The pointed hood is
lined throughout, displaying the
pretty plaid silk on its rounded front
edges. The cape is hooked closely at
the neck, two pointed straps closing
the front edges with bone buttons.
The edges of cape, straps and collar
are finished with machine stitching in
tailor style; but this can be omitted
if a plain completion is preferred.
Capes by the mode are made OF medi-
um and heavy cloaking In plain and
mixed colors, with smoop or rough
faced surface. For earl; ling capes
in this style are made OF the dress ma
terial and warmly interlined. The
hood can be finished separately and
hooked on at the neck when worn, or
omitted when not desired.
The quantity ot 54-inch wide mate

miss twelve years old is Il yards; for
afourteon-year-old size, Il yards; for
q sixteen-year- size, L yards.

spent in Jerusal =. They had come
from all parts of Asia Minor to pray
at the Chnrch of the Holy Sepulchre.
They have patriarch at Jerusalem
who leads them in these celebrations.
He is tall, thin man with long gray
beard, and q face not unlike that of
the typical Georgia cracker. He usual
ly wears long gown, and has little
skull cap on the crown of his head.
During the Easter celebration his
head was covered with a tira, which
blazed with diamonds, and his gown
was gorgeous silk robe, which was
decorated with diamonds. The Ar
menians are, you know, Christians,
and their customs are much like those
of the Greek Church. They have mon
asteries and churches scattered
throughout Asia Minor, and they
claim to be the oldest Of all Christian
people.
The Armenians assert that their
country is the holiest land upon earth.
It lies in Asia Minor, southeast Of the
Black Sen, and between it and Persia.
Mount Ararat is situated in it, and
some of the monasteries claim to have
pieces of the identical ark in which
Noah landed upon this mountain, and
there is ravine near it which is point
ed out as the site of Noah's vineyard.
Noah's wife is said to be buried on
Mount Ararat, and the Armenians
trace their ancestry back to Japhet in
one long genealogical tree. They have
a tradition that the Garden of Eden

The Washington Star remarks that
within little more than decade there
has risen what may be fairly called a
Southern school of fiction, racy of the
soil, unmistakable in its characteris-
tics, such as no other section could
possibly have produced. It is symp-
tomato that all the members of this
first distinctive Southern school OF
writer's should have devoted them
selves to fiction. Poets, the South,
indeed, has had in recent years; Paul
Hamilton Hayne and Sidney Lanier
are worthy of more than respectful
mention in any catalogue OF American
authors; but they are Southern only
By accident of birth or choice of resi-
dence, not by the essential character
Of their work. Sidney Lanier'spoetry,
for the most part, might have been
written as well in New Hampshire OF
Minnesota as anywhere else, and much
the same is true ofthe greater part of
! Haynes. But OF Richard Malcolm

done their work had they not been

What Causes Hot Waves.

EIot waves are caused by low areas
appearing in the northwest and NOV
ing east and south, thus bringing
about warm winds from the south, and
disappearing as the development of
high areas in the northwest. One Of
The accompanying phenomena Of hot
waves was hot winds coming from the
southwest, their cause being some
what obscure. DR.. Frankenield
states that as rule they move in mar
row belts, ranging from 100 feet to
half mile in width. No good cause
can be assigned for this, save, proba-
bly,, local topography.-Boston Guilt

false to his religion he is almost sure
of assassination. The Imans and the
Sheiks, or, in other words, the Ma
hommedan priests, to q large extent
rule Turkey to-day. They are, in
most cases ignorant and intolerant.
At the head of them is the Sheik-ul
Islam, or Grand Mufti. He is ap-
pointed by the Sultan, and the Sultan
cannot kill kim SO long as he holds his
title, though he can depose him. The
Sultan himself cannot be deposed un-
less the Grand Mutt so DEGREES. He
is sort of supreme judge IN addition
to his religious character. Among
the Mahommedan frnatics there are
large number known as dervishes,
who roam about from country to
country inciting trouble. They stim-
ulate the religious zeal of the people
and make violent speeches against un-
believers. They fast much and they
have curious methods of worship. One
glass is known as the wheeling der
wishes, whom you may see any Friday
going through their worship in Con-
stantinople, They dress in long white
robes, fastened at the wasit with black
belts, and on their heads they wear
high sugar-loaf hats. They sing the
Koran as they whirl about in the
mosques. As they go on the chief
priest makes prayers. They whirl
faster and faster, until at last their
long skirts stand out like those OF
ballet dancer. They become red in the
face, and some finally drop to the
ground in fits.
Another class of these fanatics are
the howlers. There is great organ
ization made up of these in Turkey.
and they have probably been largely
concerned in inclting feeling against
the Armeniars. I have visited their
mosques, but I despair of adequately
describing their religious gymnastics.
They work themselves into frenzy by
gasping and bowling out the name of
God, and the dervishes of the interior
parts of Turkey often take knives and
cut themselves and each other in re-.

The committee in Boston having in
charge the cultivation of vacant lots
by the poor have made report speak
ing favorably of the result of the plan,
not only for its productiveness, but
for It's beneficial effects generally on
those who work the land. The Bos-
ton Committee Gid not use scattered
lots, but secured in the suburbs one
tract of sixty acres, and divided it in
TO plots of third of an acre each.
Fifty-two of the lots were cultivated,
a few of them by women, assisted by
children. Most of the patches were
we'll cared for, and the harvest OF po-
tatoes and other vegetables was good.
The committee consider the plan a
good one to create taste for farming
among the unemployed in cities.
