Turkish Traffic In Slaves.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, as
we know, always exists, and the wife
of "a 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 well conceived COM
mercial principles: The wife of pasha,
as a matter of speculation, purchases
two or three little girls for trifle,
either from a 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 harem life. such as singing, dancing
and playing on musical instruments,
washing, starching, ironing, embroid-
cry and even little cookery. To this
may be added a smattering of some for
eign language ard a 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 figure
to some pasha Of her acquaintance
through the medium Of one of the well
known old women whose business it is
to carry out transactions Of that sort. "

Before Justice Caldwell at Milan
yesterday DR.. E. Louis, of this city.

ing medicine without license. Nc
Csskrin & McCaskrin prosecuted
and William McEniry defended. The
case was called originally before
Justice Brown. but the defense took
q change of venue to Justice Cald-
well. The latter, however, so
offended Mr.. McEniry in the rulings
on the admission Of testimony and
the privilege of counsels in exsmin-

the case and gave notice of appeal
from the decision.
the prosecution was conducted in
behalf Of the state board Of health.
which maintains that Dr.. Louis

within the province of the state
board Of health, while the defense
holds that his form OF treatment is OF

"A word store?''
Yes, we coined words and sold
them to the inventors of foods and of
tyrewriters, and''-
"How were they sold, by the yard or
by the dozen:'' he interrupted.
Neither way. We sold each word ac-
cording to the amount Of brains expeud-

pertaining to bicycles-they came high,
because they were so fashionable. Oh,
1t was quite large store, all divided
MP into departments. There was the
bicycle department, the cigar depart

patent medicine department-in fact,
all lines were represented in which in

"Oh, yes" she replied. "our coinage

we had words ending in graph and

which sank in 10 feet Of water at
Harris slough. Galena. Tuesday, was
lying unemployed, after having done
some government work at the mouth

that the boat is the property of the
government, worth $4,000. and
that the United States engineers at
Rock Island are going to ral-e her.
The boat is the property Of Capt.
Whitney. OF Rock Island. and not Of

suggested that the boat may have
