Turkish Traffic In Slaves.

Slave dealing i'll Constantinople, as
we know. always exists, and the wife
of pasha is not above the wretched
business Richard Davey, in his book,
1.-The Sultan and His Subjects" says:
"A good deal of Turkish traffic in
slaves is conducted in tho following
manner ON very well conceived com
mercial principles: The wife of pasha,
rs u matter of speculation. purchases
two or three little girls for trihe,
either from II slave dealer or some poor
woman, generally Christian, possibly
Il Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child. teaches it those ao-
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 n smattering of some for
eign language and u very elementary
knowledge of Turkish calgraphy. When
tho 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 a high figure
to some pasha of her acquaintance
through the medium of one of the we'll
known old women whose business il is
TO carry cut transactions of that sort "

FASHION NOTES.

Belts of bias satin are sometimes
gathered at intervals up and down and
the stitches covered with jet sequins.
The newest thing in wedding wells IS
tulle with rutlle of rose point all
around the edge.
Boleros of lace and wide d1ped
belts fastened with rhinestone buckles
are features of wedding gowns this
season.
TuckIng In all forms is IN great
vogue lust at present, and small NUT
ton leg sleeves are tucked from the
shoulder to the waist in graduated
widths. the widest tucks being at the
top.
Tan gloves are quite as fashionable
as white for calling and the street, but
white, pale yellow and pink are the
proper tnts for evening dress. except
with a black costume which requires
n black glove. The four button length
Is worn with the long sleeves.
The fashionable evening headdress
of two or three fathers with an al
grette of two arranged high on the
crown of the head, has an Importance
in the screening business which is
rarely surpassed by the correct even
ing bonnet; and a pretty Partisan sug-
gestion is wreath of violets around
the coil of hair, whether 1t Is done up
on the top of the head or on the nape
of the neck Wired loops of black vel

or silver. form one of the many styles
of headdress worn at the opera, but
three short curling ostrich tips in
black, with one short aigrette, ar
ranged so that two of the tips curl
down close to the hair and one stands
up, make the prettiest possible deco
ration for light brown hair.

TO INCREASE SPEED OF SHIPS.
System of Pipes Spreads a Film of Petro-
Ieum Below the Water Line.

System of Pipes Spreads a Film of Petro-
leum Below the Water Line.
The invention of a simple and mex
pensiye device for accelerating the
speed of ships and preventing barna-
cles and corrosion has recently been
brought to the attention of the Chief
Of Construction and other officials of
the Navy Department In Washington,
with the result that Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy McAdoo has APP
pointed Chief Engineer George COwle,
Jr., U. S. N, stationed at the New
York Navy Yard, a commissioner to
witness a test OF the idea on large
scale and report on 1t to the depart
ment.
The invention consists of a mechan-
ism which envelops the submerged
portion of a ship with a film of oil,
thus reducing friction and overcoming
to large degree the resistance of the
water.
A series of iron fianges are fastened
along the bottom and sides OF the ship
below the water line, In which are In
serted sheets of woven wire netting
lathing or sheet iron, covered with an
absorbent composition saturated with
oil. The fianges have n semlcircular
covering on top, below which runs
finely perforated pipe, which elects n
fine spray of oil against the inside OF
the fange and on to the sheets, from
which 1t spreads downward.
The oil Is not carried away by the
water, but through capillary attrac-
ton is spread. thus keeping the ships
hull creased without any waste of oil.
1t is said that the composition Is
perfect carrier of oil under the surface
of the water, a feature which has never
before been achieved and which Will
make oil perform below the water
line the same service that 1t does in
quelling a rough sea.
1t is said for the invention that, APP
piled to any vessel, either steam or
sailing, 1t Will increase the speed by
at least twenty per cent without
augmentlng the amount of machinery
or the expenditure of fuel. Another
and most valuable feature claimed is
that It Will prevent the growth of bar
naeles. These enemies TO ships hulls
necessItate frequent dry docking and
scraping, at large cost.
The inventor also declares that the
fatty composition will completely pre-
vent corrosion of hulls.
The oil used Is crude petroleum. and
Is supplied to the pipes by tanks and
valves located above the water line.
The system Is so arranged that in
rough weather large quantity of oil
can be discharged along the sides OF
the ship and distributed over the sur
face of the water, thus providing a
more effective method of greaslng and
smoothing high seas than any yet de
ylsed.-New York Herald.

Tho Newborn and the Dead.

Lavater, i'll his "Physiognomy, :"
makes the following curious remarks:
Il have had occasion to observe some
infants immediately ON their births and
have found an astonishing resemblance
between their profile and those of their
father A few days after this resem-
blance almost entirely disappeared. The
influence of the air and food and prob
ably the change of posture had SO al
tered the design of the face that You
could have believed il different in
dipidual. afteIward saw two of these
children die. one at q weeks and the
other at 4 years of age, and about
IL hours after their death they imme-
diately recovered the profile which had
struck me so much at their birth, only
the profile of tho dead child was, as
might be expected, more strongly
marked and more terse than that of the
living. "

STREET RAILWAY DEVICES.

ductors Honest.

1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching Of yariously colored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent

riot through the land, and the bluff
trip slips, - the pink trip slips" and the
"blue trip slips" have long been aban-

fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by "a clever man not unwilling
to divert few nickels to his own

has never yet been ciroumvented by a
conductor Indeed. it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance of a passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all. When collecting, he car
ries around specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or cent piece. The con
ductor who violates the company S rules

The cars of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and Off At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached "a
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever AZ that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when tho gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to IA greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs Of the seats are provided with
panels for tho display of advertising
matter. This does not. however, seem
to attract the advertisers of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement
announcements. Exchange.

Most of us are familiar with the way
in which horse or mule kicks, but
few of us know how camel expresses
his anger. The camel doesn't seem to
be out of temper. He lazily chews his
cud, with his eyes half closed, and
those not familiar with his ways might
fancy that he is half asleep. But di-
rectly he draws one of his hind legs
up under him, and then. as soon as the
object of his wrath is In range, he
sends his hoof straight back like a
