New York and st. Petersburg.

The island of the Manhattoes sent
beaver skins to Europe soon after
Queen Elizabeth died. In 1926, only
one year after the death of King
James I, a permanent town was es,
tablished upon it. And the. first
great chapter in the story of this
town was closed in 1854, only four
years after Charles II picked up his
fathers battered crown. Then New
Amsterdam passed from Dutch into
English hands and was rechristened
for the Duke of York, 81 years before
he began to govern it as James II.
Thus thesilver tankard owned by the
Schuyler family and given to their
ancestor by Queen Anne when he
took five Mohawk chiefs to visit her
in 1710 is BY no means a relic of
early New York. Who thinks of st.
Petersburg as a typically modern
town? Yet in 1910 st. Petersburg
had been founded only half dozen
years.-Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensse.

The Hardest Work After Inauguration.


"Our Fellow Citizen of the White
House" is the title of a paper by G.
c. Buel in The Century. 1t is de-
voted to the official cares and duties
of the president. After speaking of
the choice of private secretary,
the appointment of a cabinet and
the inauguration of a president
elect Mr.. Buel says:
After the fatigue of reviewing the
vast procession that followed him
home" and of leading the prone
made at the Immigration ball the
president is left alone in his glory,
the first manifestation of which is a
stack of boxes, reaching half way to
the ceiling, filled with applications
for office. Now he is president in
deed. Those preliminary boxes,
nearly every caller, letters by the
thousand and large willow trunks
full of papers, delivered with regu-
larity from the departments, re-
mind him that the United States ex-
poets every president to do his duty
by the party which elected him.

She Wasn't q Lady.

The English papers tell story
about Lord Darlington to the effect
that at a drawing room held by the
queen he, in announcing the names
of the ladies present, according to
his duty as lord chamberlain, got
mixed" and announced a certain
Mrs. M. as Lady M" Thereupon
the queen bent forward to greet her
with the kiss on the cheek that is
always given to wives and daugh-
tiers of peers. AS she bent, Lord
Darlington found out his mistake,
turned extremely pale and gasped
out, Don't kiss her, ma'am, don't
kiss her! She's not a lady at all. "

Blind Tom, although otherwise an
idiot, had most remarkable music
al memory and wonderful ability
to reproduce compositions which
were played in his hearing. When
repeating what he had heard, he
initiated even the blunders and mis-
takes of the players, sometimes in a
most comical fashion: He could
play by ear, having no knowledge
of the scientific side of music, over
400 different compositions.

Of the New Yorker are so powerful, and
the pressure of these outlets is so great,
that it would be impossible for men to-
handle these lines If there were not
some sort of machinery to aid them,
and, therefore, an appliance known as Il

something like big rowlock and is set
in the gunwale in the same manner that
rowlock is set in the rail of n row.
boat. 1t is fastened beneath the rail
with Il pin, and between the forks is
swung an iron connection, oar-fashion,
pivoted mt the sides. The short length
of hose is attached to one end of this
connection, and nozzle to the other,
and with this device one man is ableto
control and direct the heaviest stream
with ease. The monitor MOBILES also
can be managed by one man each.
The fireproof construction of the New
Yorker makes it possible to get very
rear a fire and deliver the powerful side
streams at short range; and, should've

not able to stand by the "rail pipes"
protecting shields are brought into use,
behind which they can direct the
streams with comfort. These shields
slide along inside the rail- on a kind of
railway, so they can be placed at any.
part of the boat; and there is one on
each side. They are made of two thick
nesses of corrugated iron, with an air
space between, thus preventing the in
ner lining from becoming heated. They
are arched at the top, and in shape are
somewhat like the shields used to pro-
tect the gunners while working at the
rapid-firing guns on our modern mem
of-war.
There is an opening at the bottom of
these shields for the nozzles of the rail
pipes to project through, and an oblong
slot above for the fireman to look
through and direct the water. With the
aid of this protection for the men, and
because of her own salamander-like con-
struction, the New Yorker is able to
sail up close TO burning vessel or pier
and deliver broadside of powerful
streams where the ordinary wooden fire
tug could not come within fighting dis
tonce; and her ability to do this, and
her immense pumps, make her without
q doubt the most complete and effective
marine fire engine ever built.

THE BOTTLE KITTEN.

Madison avenue was too restricted a
sphere for woman of her burning am
billions. She longed to be leader in
the ranks of emancipated cathood and
teach her downtrodden sisters to strike
for more mice-and liberty. So she left
her little family before their eyes were
opened, and started in search of broader
spheres. Two of the kittens died, and
the third started out to battle with life
on four wobbly little legs and an un-
certain little tail that he used for steer
ing purposes. He steered himself as far
as Third avenue, where girl, pushing a
baby carriage, picked him up and put
Kim in. There must have been some free
masonry of babyhood between the kit
ten and the baby, for the latter passed
the bottle and the kitten worked it as
II it had Klondike claim. All the Third
avenue children crowded round to see
the sight, and the little waits sides
pulled out visibly. The baby's mother
wanted to throw him out on the world
again, but the children begged so hard
they kept him, and now little BILLY"
has a bottle of hisown.-N. Y. World.

DOGS OF CoNSTANTINoPLE.
The Turks Think Them Unclcan, but
StiIl Treat Them kindly.

SIN Treat Them kindly.
The reason why there are so few
dogs who have homes and masters is
not hard TO find It's because the Turks
have a queer idea-it is part of their
queer religion-that dogs are such un-
clean animals that they must never
be allowed to enter house. On the
street, however, they feed them and
even pet them; and when man knows
that he has done something wrong he
will often try to make up for ii by
feeding all the dogs he can find. Some
times when rich Turks die they leave
sums of money to be spent in feeding
the street dogs, just as in America peo-
pie leave money to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The
Turks never strike or hurt dog; so il,
as sometimes happens in CONSTANT
nople. you see n man kicking or beat
ing some poor, bowling animal, you
may be very sure that he is n Greek or
an Armenian. Nor do the Turks ever
kill vagrant dogs, but think it right
to allow them to exist as best they can.
So there have come to be in the streets
Of Constantinop,e hundreds and hun
dreds of wolf-like dogs, about the size
of small settlers or pointers, but differ
eut from them in that they have mar
row, long heads. Yellow dogs, black
dogs, brown dogs and white dogs, you
seethcm everywhere-ont the sidewalks,
in the cutters, on the doorsteps, under
the carriages, in every corner or hole
into which dog can creep and curl
himself up into round bunch. All day
long they lie huddled mp or stretched
out on their sides, fast asleep, no matter
how much noise goes on about them.
In the busiest business streets they lie
by twos and threes in the middle of
the sidewalk, where hundreds of pa
tient people step over them or go
around them, and never think of max
ing them get out of the way. In the
side streets and small squares there are
often assemblages of 20 or % sleeping
in the greatest peace and harmony un-
til some dog from another street VEN
lures in. when there is at once great
deal of barking and sometimes severe
fighting; for even If these dogs have
no homes. they have certain districts or
places which they consider their own
and win permit no one not belonging
to their particular set to enter. Thus
the street of butchers in Pera, the incest
quarter of Constantinople, has some
60 or more dogs who are always to be
found there. saw two dogs lying day
after day in front of enc of the great
banks: and one fond mother dog
brought up four puppies in an uncov-
cred box at the gateway of the British
embassy.-Oswald Garrison Willard, in

TALK BY WRESTLING.
Conversational Feats of the shep-
herd Boys of Tenerine.

Conversational Feats of the Shep-
herd Boys of Tenerine.
Have you ever heard of the so-called
"whistling language" of Teneriffe? The
probabilities are that you never have.
Yet this curious method of speech-if
Indeed one can so describe it-dates
from prehistoric times.
The shepherd folk of Teneriffe and
Gomera use the "whistling language"
and the first recorded notice of it was
made by French traveller as far back
rs 14S5. Since then stray wanderers
have called the worlds attention, Mt
long intervals, to the language" Some
years ago, while roaming, with staff and
scrip, through ravines and over the
wild mountain ranges of Teneriffe, it
fell to the writer's lot to hear the shep-
herds thus conversing. BY placing two
or three fingers in the mouth it is pos
sible to make the whistle carry to dis
lance of three miles, or Whereabouts.
The lonely hills seem silent and de-
serted, when suddenly out of the far dis
tance came long, drawn and very
shrill whistle-the summons to a con-
versation. In reply, similar call strikes
piercingly on the ear from the opposite
direction. The whistles are widely sep
arated, but have no intention of being
lonely. Perhaps they are having some
difficulty with their fiocks. Perhaps
they are merely resting awhile after the
dinner of black bread and onions. At
any rate, il you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, chat between friends three miles
or more separated.
Logeard, the well-known French
savant, has conclusively proved that the
whistling is in Spanish. Easy words
are taken, and the sounds initiated by
the whistlers. Long practice and he
redity have given the shepherds ex-
traordinary skill in whistling and I'M
derstanding the Spanish Their voca-
bulary is quite long one, and, in addi-
ton, they have a regular code of grad
uated notes, which convey telegraph
ically what they cannot satisfactorily
reproduce in the ordinary manner.
The writer heard three parties of
shepherds exchange their hopes and
fears regarding the weather by this
means. On anOlner OCCASION ne neuru
an invitation to a dance sent in the
'whistling language" across a stretch
of country exceeding 5H kilometers.
The young boys, and even the girls, are
adopts at the Language" and the very
sheep appear to understand whistled
commands at a considerable distance.
1t is no unusual thing to find two boys,
or pair of the sturdy little mountain
lasses of Teneriffe, standing by the
parental cottages, and thus conversing
across wide rayine and rugged height,
without even catching glimpse of one
another all the time. In fact the whist
ling language, dating as it does from
before 1850, makes one wonder whether
the telephone is such modern marvel
after all.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
