PREPARING FOR WAR.
oops Being Forwarded To Frontier and
Posts Strengthened.

ConstantinOple. April l0.-The war
preparations throughout the Turkish
empire continue to be steadily pressed.
although there is not much change in
the eastern situation. A pessmistic
feeling prevails here at the failure OF
the powers attempts TO coeree Greece.
The blockade of the Piraeus is as far off
as ever and the war party is bringing
pressure TO bear on the government
with the result that the porte has dis
patched circulars to the representatives
abroad settling Turkeys growing impa-
tience at the prolongation of the crisis
which is pressing heavily upon an al
ready embarrassed eXchequer.
The belief prevails here that the pow
ers are losing their hold over the course
Of events and that their so-called con-
cert is a failure. A new danger has
arisen through the circulation in Con-
stantinople and the provinces Of PAM
phlet reciting alleged Christian atroci-
ties on Mussulmans i'm Crete and else
where. This Is nhaming the Turks
against the Greeks TO such an extent
that the Grecian minister has drawn
the attention of the porte TO the matter.
The government has proceeded TO take
the measures necessary to prevent out
breaks upon the part Of the populaoe.

does not remove the unpleasant odors
that come from long usage. Some wom-
en- sprinkle their waists and dresses
with scent and use sschet powders 10
perfume their bonnets and wraps. All
this would be admirable were it avail

conceal the unfragrant emanations from

Better than scent bags or potpourri is

Turn the garments wrong side ont and
let the air and sunshine disinfect and
deodorize there All night airing is
good, but q day of blowing winds and
purifying sunlight is better. When a
bonnet lining or set of dress shields
becomes peroeptible, it should be re-
moved. Cloth garments can be sponged
and pressed clean. A pint Of benziue
costs 8 cents and will clean anything in
the way of kid, silk, lace or worsted.
Camphor is another common disinfect-
ant and not half appreciated. If after

bad habits where there is much perfum-

what 10 known as shop smells, emanat-

or bit Of sandal wood is preferable to
the sickly sweetness Of manufactured
perfumes. Deodorized alcohol, with q
