His Start in Life.

A refreshing variation of an old story came from New South Wales during the recent banking crisis, and may have a special interest still
 A prominent banker in Sydney was holding forth on his early life.
 ''How did get my first start in life?" he exclaimed. Why, one day l picked up a pin"
 ''Oh, that game's played out" was the general cry.
 "I picked up pin," the banker con tinued-"a diamond pin, which l pawned for $50; and, after giving ten shillings to charity to change my luck, I began my career as 8 money lender with the other &40 los. To-day, after 30 years hard labor, am mil lionaire, and, to celebrate the event, l have just given ten shillings more to charity. "-London Truth.

0N THE TURKISH FRONTIER.

1ohn Lnngdon HeSton Writes of Ills Experiences at the Station of Mustapha Pasha-Trouble
 Over a Passport.
TCopyrlght. 18a7.1

Constantinople, Jan. 20.-The single daily express train from western Eu- rope to the realm of the Sick Man reaches the station of Mustapha Pasha, the Turkish frontier, shortly before midnight. It is the custom of throuoh passengers in the sleeping car to go to bed without waiting for the custom house examination, which is made in the car itself and can be oyerseen in a hastily improvised toilet while the po- lieemen outside go over the passports.
 It thus happened that when the off cers of the sultan came to tell me that my passport labeled the visa of a Turk ish consul and that I must get out of the train my wife was abed and was rearranging my travelling bag after it's examination, clad in the raiment of the night plus g. hastily donned pair of trousers. My shoes were on, but un- tied, and my pink besomed shirt gleamed gaily through the dusk of the compartment from a high hook.
 While my wife attempted a hasty toilet debated the situation with the train conductor and porter. They were concerned mainly with getting started again and lied beautifully, assuring me that Mustapha Pasha possessed an ex- cellent hotel, near the station. Finally they got frantic over the delay and be- gan to assist me to pack up. Just as the train was starting some one saw my pink bosomed shirt still aureoling the night from on high, pulled it down and thrust one arm of it under the strap which held bundle of rugs. In this shape we entered the police office in the railroad station while the train rat tied away. Not house was in sight, and it was midnight and midwinter.
 Until the recent troubles in Turkey the visa of a consul had not been neces-

A TREMENDOUS JOURNEY.
How Much Ground Walker Covers in
 an Hour.

How Much Ground Walker Covers in
 an Hour.
 An ordinary walk of an hour is equiva- lent to journey of 1000 miles just as a beginning. The average person walks three miles an hour, according to reck- oning, but when it is considered that the world is constantly turning on its axis, it is apparent where the 1000 miles comes in.
 This is by no means all. The earth makes a journey round the sun every year, and long but rapid trip it is. The distance of our planet from the sun is put in round numbers at 92,000,0 miles. This is the radius of the earth g orbit-half the diameter of the circle, as it is called. The whole diameter is therefore 1s4,oo0.ooo miles, and the cir conference, being the diameter multi piled by 3.1446, is about 57s,o0o,0oo.
 This amazing distance the earth trav- els in its yearly journey, and, dividing it by 365, we find the daily speed about 1.594.0O0 miles. Then, to get the dis tance you rode round the sun during your hours walk, divide again by "A. and the result is about 66,000 miles. This is not the end of the hours trip, however. The sun, with it's entire brood of planets, is moving in space at the rate of 166 1000, ,0oo miles year. This is at the rate of little more than 454,0oo miles day, or 1s,9Oo miles an hour.
 So, adding the three miles of leg travel to the hours axial movement of the earth, this to the earth's orbital Journey, and this again to the earth's excursion with the sun, and you find you have travelled in the hour s5,soa ,niles.-San Francisco Examiner.

"CAN A MONKEY SWIM ?"
How "The Editor' Decided Bet for an
 Anxious Inquirer.

All sorts of funny questions come over the telephone into newspaper of fee. Somebody is always making a bet on some queer proposition or other, and the decision is left in many cases to some of the papers. No sooner is the bet made than the men who have put up the money, or promised to do so, hie themselves to a telephone and ring up "the editor" of the paper to which the decision has been left.
 Some of the propositions advanced are enough to make mule laugh, and some are sent over the telephone just to worry the man who answers the ring and possibly to catch him with some trick. The other day, for instance, some fresh boy rang up newspaper to ask for decision on this proposition:
 "Is it legal for a man to marry his widows sister?'
 The young man who answered the phone refused to "bite," and told the in- quirer that his question would be an- swered through the columns of the pa- per, if he would write it out and for WaTQ IL 8lIn ms name ana address. That is the rule in most offices. This particular question never came, of course.
 But the other night there came one that was too good to lose, so the young man who received it answered it on his own account.
 ''We've got bet" said the fellow who rang up the office, "and we want you to decide it..'
 This paper doesn't decide bets, was the answer.
 Never mind the bet. then. Just de- eide the question"
 'Well, what is your question ?"
 ''It's this," came the answer. ''Can monkey swim?"
 What an easy one! The young man at the phone smiled happily, as he put his mouth down close to the trans hitter and softly whispered:
 "Just go down to the lake and jump in. Then you'll find out all about it."
 And then he gently rang off and went on with his work.-Chicago Times-Her- aid

doing with us, wn4cn was most aqgra vating.
 The newcomer proved to be a Pole by birth, veteran of the Turkish cav airy who had fought on the winning side in the Crimea and the Iosino side in the Balkans. He took us to his house, where we found that his wife spoke French, his son German, his sons wife French, his son-in-Iaw, a military surgeon, Turkish. It was the only En- ropean family within 20 miles. They fed us, seemed pleased at the break our coming made in the monotony of their lives and told us about their rela- tives in Chicago.
 Presently a fine carriage drove up, which we had noticed in the courtyard of the khan. To it was attached a good pair of horses, on the box with the driver sat the Turk who had been held with us the night before and within in solitary state was the police sergeant. Outside was piled the luggage, the pink bosomed shirt on top of all, held by one sleeve precisely as it had been the night before, and fluttering in tri- umph over our departure It continued to fiutter all the way to Andrinople, a four hours drive, as it was rather chilly to attempt redressing either in or out of the carriage.
 1t was an interesting drive, and I do not know now we could have seen the country better. The driver was a fine looking Turk, and as humane and in telligent in his care of his horses as anyone have ever seen. We passed the great barracks of the sultan's frontier forces, inhabited by many thou sand troops. The road was we'll graded and thoroughly maeadamized, and led through the broad, fertile, lovely valley of the Naritza all the way We saw any number of road wagons, but none of them had other occupants than Turks. There were freight wagons and blow teams also, sometimes ordinary oxen, sometimes eastern buffaloes with their big black horns neatly parted in the middle and combed low over each ear, dude-fashion. 1t was sunny day and not cold for midwinter.
 The policeman unbent from his Spar tan severity of the night before, and became a shameless and persistent beg

took part, too, with about 100 Greek people, mostly women and children, in drinking a eo1fe bon voyage to a nice old Greek lady who was starting for Jerusalem. By and by the one train of the day came along, and we got in, dog tired, and were in Europe again.
 On the whole it was an inexpensive, instructive and improving piece of ex- perienee. There was nothing to com plain of in it except the policeman's cruel and unusual detention of our clothing during the night. The bag gage was not interfered with in the least. Indeed the pasha in Andrincple sent courteous inquiry about it, wish ing to know if anything had been taken or damaged. The whole business seemed rather a senseless compliance with formality than real safeguarding of the frontier against agitators. There was plenty of ''incendiary literature" in our luggage, but not soul could read it or made any effort to do so. It was a childish proceeding and not serious thing to undergo in a region Where so many thousand people have been clubbed to death for no offense.
 How utterly futile the passport pre- cautions are is illustrated by a little story told by Consul General Short about an American drummer travelling from Athens to Turkey. Learning too late to visit his minister that he would need a passport and not having one, he took his letter of credit to the Turkish consul, had that visaed instead and travelled on it to Constantinople with out anyone detecting the difference.
 At the same time I would advise an American traveller, especially if accom- panied by his wife, to get his passport yised before visiting Turkey. Even brief detention, though not dangerous, may be hugely uncomfortable. The khan of Mustapha Pasha is no joke until you are out of it.

gar. His vocabulary of signs ran some what as follows:
 T. Exhibiting coin and saying "Banca? Andrincple ?'-You are sure you can get money in Andrinople2
 3. Leaning his head on one hand Wonder is the barrack where the sol diers sleep.
 3. Covering his face with both hands That is the mosque where the soldiers worship.
 4. Two circles and cross drawn with the fnger-For 6 gentleman of my distinguished character you should give about two medjidie (dollars) bak- shish. For the driver half medjidie is quite enough.
 5. Pointing and smacking the lips Those birds are good to eat. Here the soldiers kill sheep for mess.
 6. Again the coin and the bakshish pantomime.
 And so we came to Andrinople (not Adrianople as our geographies used to call it), town of 100000 inhabitants with many Christian and Jewish resi- dents, with one hotel rather better than khan, and with railroad station four miles away. The wide rivers which compass 1t are spanned by stone arch bridges. The streets are miserably narrow and dirty, though the road by which we came was so fine. The ba- zaars are native and squalid; there is no light or life in the evening, except near the station. The mortality must be very great, as the drinking water is all from polluted wells, and as half the town is flooded when melting snows in the Balkans send the rivers up.
 The policeman vanished like magic to report to his superiors, while we set out to find some one to whom we could talk. There is no American or British consul in the place, but the Austrian consul kindly sent his dragoman and his assistant to interpret for us. Then further complication arose. It was Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, and the head pasha was taking a day off from pashaing. However, the drago- man trotted off to find him at his home, and at about half-past five brought back a big sheet of paper and little one, both covered with hieroglyphics which attested us to be Turks of an- cient lineage and frst-rate fellows, as nearly as can make out. At any rate' it is exactly like the passports the Turks themselves carry, and Fm going to hang it up somewhere if ever get 1t home.
 had to pay a moderate fine for breach of the Ottoman passport laws, and. of course, a fee to the dragoman for his errand. The driver of the coach agreed to stay and take us to the ra11- road station in the evening. He had | then to return to Mustapha Pasha next day, but for the entire job charged only four dollars. With the two francs l l9pave him as bakshish, he sat down be- side us in the station cafe and formally drank our health in coffee, which made ns feel as if we were getting the worth of our money.
 Then we sat in the cafe three hours, watching fine, handsome Turks drink coffee sn perfect order while three men of other races were bounced in success sion for disgusting drunkenness. We

Bary to passport. Hundreds of American travellers have entered the country without this formality. But times change, and so we thought as we stood blinking and shivering from the recent warmth and comfort of sleep ing car in bare and cold police sta- tion.
 A Turk shared our detention. He was happy in knowing the language. Of about 20 police and customhouse officers hanging around, every man was Turk. Not one knew six words of a western European tongue. Most of them were handsome men, and the fez is a. becoming headgear. They made a fine barbaric picture in the gloom of the station, pierceds by single lamp, but conversation was not extensive.
 When the police had put our pedi- grees in the blotter, we were escorted to ramshaclxle little gocart with one horse and set off after midnight to drive six miles, as it proved, to the town of Mustapha Pasha. It is the pleasing custom of the Turks to put their railway stations from four to six miles away from the towns in order not wholly to deprive carriage drivers of their business. The village, when reached, was a wretched group Of huts in a swamp. I have since met an American teacher who was quarantlned there four days and contracted malar- ial fever from which he was two years in recovering. Tue streets are vile and the people densely ignorant.
 It was after one q. m. We were taken to the police station in Mustapha Pasha itself, and the unvised passport was given to naughty sergeant, who stacked our luggage in his room and offered me cigarette. Then we were led away again. 1 made dumb show of my desire to regain possession or my shirt, but was repulsed with lofty Roman virtue.
 The khan, or Turkish inn, to which we were taken, was a huddle of How buildings around stable yard. ln the middle of indescribable filth was the we'll. necessarily a source of disease. One room was fitted up for occasional European use. The window had never been opened, the bedding had never been changed, and was already sum ciently occupied. Sleep was impossible It was bitterly cold. The air was vile' and though it was already after two morning came slowly. It was nlght of intense discomfort.
 When it was light, we dlscoVereo that in the main room of the khan the Turkish guests had fared better. haeh man brought his own bedding to iay upon one of the benches about the wall and his own food. The khan suPplles only coffee which is excellent. In thls main room. which was warmed by a stove and ventilated by the sometimes open door, we sat during the morning and played eucher with tiny pack Q, cards about an inch long. which had somewhere picked up. Half score oi Turkish loungcrs who sat in the nm drinking coffee took keen delight m these little cards and were looking al them over our shoulders when an oio man casne in and addressed us III ter man. uVtil then it had been iinposs', ble to leasSp what our captors proposeo
