the vessel and partly capsize her. For IL"
minutes a heavy mist hid the wreck from view,
and when she was again sighted only TWO vi
the men cnging to the foremast could be seen.
It is feared that two of them were "asheu

the ship.
The surf is running so high that the life

snappish and snarlish and make him

He is your boy, and you are to live III

inherits your fortune and fame and is

1t cannot be otherwise. A daughter

Turkish Traffic In Slaves.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, az
we know, always exists, and the wife
of pasha is not above the wretched
business. Richard Davey, in his book,
"The Sultan and His Subjects, says:
"a good deal of Turkish traffic In
slaves is conducted in the following
manner on very we'll conceived COM
mercial principles: The wife OF pasha'
as a matter of speculation. purchases
two or three little girls for trifie,
either from slave dealer CT some poor
woman, generally Christian, possibly
a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child, teaches it those ac-
complishments which are indispensable
TO barem life, such as singing, dancing
and playing OH musical instruments,
washing, starching, ironing, embrold-
ery and even little cookery. To this
NAV be added a smattering of some for
eign language and very elementary
knowledge of Turkish caligraphy. When
the child is grown up, if she is hand
some the lady turns her to account
and literally repays herself for her
trouble by selling her at high hgsre
to some pasha of her acquaintance
through the medium of one OF the well
known old women whose business IL Is
to carry out transactions OF that sort.
