TURKISH PROVERBS.
Many of Them Very Pat and Full OF
Homely Wit,

The Turkish peasants In their own
country have plenty of homely wit.
Thus they say: "Aryk ukyusa bit
chak olmaz," orr'For the team OK there
is no knife" meaning that the poor,
hardworking peasant Is too poor to oe
prosecuted.
There is genuine poetry in the say
ings: They divided the nower and thA
rose fell to the lot of the thorn" ana.
1.-TWO nightingales do not perch on one
bough." Pathetic Is the picture convey
ed in They put the nightingale In a
cage and he only sang, oh, my rose
buah!"
The profound and submissive proprie-
ty OF the Turk shows in such sayings
az: 'It may be six. or II may be seven
but it will be what number Allah or
dains," and again, When Allah gives
He does not ask whose son art thou.
or a like character 10 the saying, The
head that bends is never cut of.
OF course the poor beaten donkey ID
the hero of a whole list of proverbs
s'The donkey Is little" II is said, yet
he leads camels." They invited the
donkey TO a wedding" says another
maxim, "and he said: is II wood ol
water that Is wantedY"
or religious proverbs. Koranic litera
ture is as full as Christian. DO wha'
is kind and good" says one, "and cas-
IL into the sea: IL the fish do not recog
nize IL thy Creator WILL"
Worldly prudence, however. inspire:
such maxims as these: THE wound b!
the hand heals; the wound by thu
tongue is incurable." "Out Of the tripe
sellers cauldron cometh no silk bro
| cade." Don't always expect the pep
merry part of the stew" "They who han
| die honey will lick their fingers
which is more true of Turkey than
| other places, probably. THE fathe
| gave vineyard to the son, but the sol
| never gave bunch Of grapes to tn
| father" Is a sermon on ingratitude
! Short, pithy proverbs are: "a ma

| and there is no friend to man lik
| his mother"

A French Wow Of the Spanish Cow
ernment's Perslstency.

Almost all the French journals blame
sagasta for his obstinacy in continuing
the war, and for his reply. Never
to those who asked him II he intended
soon to propose terms OF peace to the
Americans.
We believe that the first duty OF
government consists In saving the ma
tion 1t represents from useless sacri-
fees. In international conflicts gov-
ernments should play the part OF sec
onds i'm a duel, and put an end 10 the
combat when one of the principals raiis
into a condition OF manifest lnfe1ority.
We Trenchmen are more inclined 10
listen TO reason in the case or the span,
iards than we are In our own case, ana
we blame the Never" OF Sagasta, al
though we applauded the repeated
"Neyers." OF Jules Favre. Ana, aIter
ALI. Sagasta today, like Jules Favre 2S
years ago. is under the necessity OF ue-
ceiving the tyrant whom ne serves
That tyrant is public opinion, the ma
tional will.
In old times the courtiers stood be-
tween the king and the truth, and the
European nations presented spectacie
analogous TO that of the eastern EN-
pires where the despot, who, py s8h'
sent men to the executioner, was prac-
tically imprisoned In his harem oy sne
viziers. and kept In ignorance or wnat
was going on in that portion OF tne
world which he ruled. The situation
was clearly explained by the words
which pictured the vices OF the system
and the loyalty of the subjects, An! 81

In the countries where universal sur

"LIT rLE HU."


Or. Hu King Eng. the Chinese girl
who graduated from the Woman's Med
ical College in Philadelphia, is now at
the Missionary Hospital of the Metho-
dist Church at Foo-Choo. In southern
China. Hu King Eng was known by
her teachers and student friends as
'Idttle Hu," and she was quite an OBJ
ject of interest when she went in the
street. as she wore her national cos
tune. Since Hu King Eng graduated
and took up her position at Foo -Choo
her professional reputation has grown
rapidly. Among the nobility of China
she has performed several noteworthy
cures of eye trouble. The Chinese wor-
ship her as a god, because Of her vari-
Gus successful operations, and rever.
Much of her practice lies among the
families of the first rank.
With Marguerite Wang, another dis
tinguished Chinawoman, DIR. Hu is 60

Chinese women at the medical conven-
tion. She will report among other i'm
proyements the noticeable progress
made against the custom of foot-bind-

The Modern Bath Tub.

There is any amount of parapherna-
liza which goes with a modern bath tub.
There are soap dishes galore, OF all
kinds and descriptions and of all kinds
of earthenware or metal. made to hang
inside the edge of the modern sanitary
tub and movable, to be arranged TO suit
the convenience OF the individual bath
er. A short hose, which. with sprink-
Ter for spraying. will cost about 81, the
up-to-date bather is sure to have, ana
besides towel racks OF various kinds
there are bath tub seats. which hang
from the sides OF the tub. A straight
board seat which goes across the tub a
foot or SO below the top will cost I'm a
department store about 81 and round
wooden seat which Is hung from one
side only costs something less. The n.y.
gienic woman always pays a visit to
the shop bath tub to see II there are
new appliances which she has not, but
ought to have.

The stories OF the treatment OF our
wounded soldiers tell OF neglect
amounting to crime.
Three of the shiploads Of the sick and
manned from Santiago sent north bring
terrible tales Of inadequate quarters,
lack of medical supplies and food and
water unfit to drink.
II seems impossible that there are
any circumstances to excuse or explain
TO the satisfaction of the people the
horrible conditions related of these
three ships There has too evidently
been a heartless lack of preparation
and a constituencies neglect OF the well
being of our wounded. All of the suf-
ferers on these three horror ships have
been nut to unnecessary torture. and II
seems clear that number OF deaths
are directly traceable to the cruelties OF
the transportation home in unfit and
poorly provided ships.
Some one is TO blame. Who IL may
be is not clear. Investigation will show.
Blt II is a shame, in war progressing
fayorably 10 our arms, so far as the
actual fighting is concerned, that our
soldiers are made to suffer from neglect
OF the ordinary details of campaign
ing. IL Cuba were across the ocean in
stead of lust at our doors, the manage
ment of the Santiago campaign could
not have been worse. And particularly
horrible is the story Of the treatment OF
| the wounded.
The Red Cross has found no difficulty
| in doing the work permitted to II. III
has been on hand at critical moments
| with supplies, and 1t has furnished
comfortable transport to the sick and
wounded. But the government stan
denartments have failed miserably In
their work of supporting the army dur
ing the campaign and In caring for ths
wounded since the surrender. There
has been ample time since Santiago fel
to provide a fleet of transports equipped
with everything needful for bringing
the wounded home comfortably. In
stead, however, there has been ex
hibited only the desperate makeshif'
that might be excused in the handling
of an army wrecked and beaten In
foreign land. Some such an experience
might have been expected Of SpAnisl
organization. But that great, sener
Gus and intelligent country should per
nit such treatment Of its defenders
hideous thing.
