Power of Money IN Turkey.

Throughout the whole of the Turk
ish dominions there is but one infu-
ence to which every official, civil and
military, and, it is said by some, reli-
gious, too, from the highest rank to
the lowest, is amenable, and that is
baclsheesh, or, in plain English, brib-
cry. The sultan himself owes, not only
his tenancy of the throne, but his very
life, to the fact that the imperial body
guard, of some 5000 men, are the only
troops in the empire that are regularly
paid and properly fed. In Turkey moth
ing can be done without bride, but
with bride, if it be only big enough,
anything can be done, except, perhaps,
the publication of correct news in a
Turkish paper.

DYNAMITE FOR wEYLER.
The Cuban Patriots Now Have Two Very

The Cuban Patriots Now Have Two Very
Effective Field Pieces.
Two new dynamite guns, the first of
their kind, are being used by Gen.
Maceo in western Cuba to tease Gen.
Weyler, and with startling effect. The
accompanying picture shows the new
field piece, which is an American, the
Simms-Dudley dynamite rifle. 1t uses
smokeless powder, and the projectile
force is compressed air, consequently
its operation is invisible and inaudible
Mt long distance. At night it shows no
light at the discharge. At Pinar del
Rio the shells from one of these guns
tore open the Spanish breastworks and
then exploded, scattering the dead and
dying in all directions. Sometimes
the shells bury themselves in the ground
before exploding. They have fuses and
lie quiet awhile, then send every body
in the neighborhood to Kingdom
come" The new gun, with carriage,
does not weigh much over a ton, and is
transported so quickly that the enemy
cannot find it.
Recent reports indicate that Weyler
is unable to keep Gen. Gomez penned up

Tells Time BY Cats Eyes.

The Chinese are said to be very skill
full in telling the time of day by looking
into cats eye. When they want to
know what o'clock it is, they will run
to the nearest cat, open her eyes and at
once tell what time it is. This they do
by observing the size of the aperture Of
the pupil of the eye, which they have
discovered is of varying size at differ
ent hours of the day, being affected by
the position Of the sun and the charac-
ter of light even when it is cloudy.

two years later the Water Color society

was about this time he was appointed
Slade professor of art at the University
college of London. In 1878 this appoint
ment was renewed for four years. In
1876 the Royal academy opened it's arms
to him and be became a member. He
was made director of the National
gallery two years ago. Some of Mr..
Poynter's pictures have caused internal
discussion. This is especially true of
his "Diadumene," which provoked so
much question as to the morality of
the nude in art. One of his best-known
paintings is "Perseus and Andromeda."
Scarcely less familiar is his ''Atalanta's

Lincoln as an Election Clerk In New Salem.
New Salem, founded in 1929, by James
Rutledge and John Cameron, and a
dozen years later deserted village, is
rescued from oblivion only by the fact
that Lincoln was once one of it's in
habitsnts. His first sight of the town
had been in April, 1881, when the fiat
boat he had built and its little crew were
detained in getting their boat over the
Rutledge and Cameron mill-dam on
which it lodged. When Lincoln walked
into New Salem, three months later, he
was not altogether stranger, for the
people remembered him as the ingenious
flatboatman who little while before
had freed his boat from water land thus
enabled it to get over the dam) by re-
sorting to the miraculous expedient Of
boring hole in the bottom.
0futt's goods had not yet arrived
when Mr.. Lincoln reached New Salem;
and he loafed about, so those who re-
member his arrival say, good naturedly
taking a hand in whatever he could find
to do, and in his droll way making
friends Of everybody. By chance a bit
Of work fell to him almost at once, which
introduced hun generally and gave him
chance to make a name in the neigh
borhood. 1t was election day. The
village schoolmaster, Mentor Graham by
name, was clerk, but che assistant was

patriotic interchange of views by repre-

speak for them in convention"
They were electing delegates to par
ticipate in national convention and
nominate national candidates, but that
was not the time to tell those dele
gates what they wanted. They are
waiting for the national convention to
tell them.
The old-fashioned way was for the
people to say what they wanted and
define what principles their party
should stand for and their delegates to
State and national conventions were
instructed accordingly; but this plan
has been abandoned except by cranks
and calamity howlers. The new and
improved style, adopted by latter-day
redeemers and "saviors of society,"" is
for the bosses to get together in ma
tional convention and instruct the
members of the party as to what their
political principles are.
