MEN AN DwoMENo OF sALolcA
Latter Despair of Competing with the
~ CANVASS.

Gorgeous CANVASS.
AS for the male population, 1T con-
sists mainly of some SO, 900 replicas Of
Sir Henry Irving as Shylock, says the
London Chronicle. They have all bor-
rowed his sash, his furred gaberdine
and his complete makeup" These
are the descendants of Jews who fed
from the Spanish inquisition, and
whether 1t be the result of in-breeding
or Of some other cause, they are all
alike. No doubt they know one an
other, and perhaps a practiced resi-
dent can tell them-just as a shepherd
can tell his fock-apart. Their wom-
enkind wear a remarkable uniform,
which might have a certain charm If
worn by people of a different shape.
1t may be said to consist chiefly of
decolletage-no corset-and a green
satin door-knocker at the back of the
head. Feminine vanity takes the form
of competition in the size of the door
knocker. 1t is not a vision of perfect
beauty, but at any rate it is better
than a yashmak. The truth is that
women of all races and creed in Tur-
key have given up trying to wear at
tractiVe clothes out of sheer despair
at the unapproachable gorgeousness of
the cavass. A cavas in full uniform
"defies competition" 1 happened to be
present the other day at CONSTANT
nople at the semi-Official farewell of
M. Cambon, the departing French am
bassador. The central figure on the
railway platform, towering above I'M
~bassadors and putting the mere mill
tary into the shade, was a splendid
creature in dazzling scarlet. 1t was
the first cavass of the British embas-
sy. Sometimes the cavass affects the
Albanian costume-short braided
jacket, jaunty cap and stiff, white bal
let-dancer petticoat. l instinctively
looked to see these gentlemen pirou-
cite on their toes. The cavass is noto-
riously-and pardonably-vain. 1t is
not only that he is conscious of a cos
tune; he remembers that he was once
a ~janissary. Hence he goes armed to
the teeth, even though it is only to
carry his mistress lap dog. If we ever
introduce the cavass into London
and why not?-in the affections of the
nursemaids he will prove a formidable
rival to Policeman x. and Dandy Dan,
the life guardsTan. And he is as use
full as he is ornamental. The protec-
ton of a V gets you through the
customs with hardly the opening of a
hat box, knocks % per cent off the
sum by which you are cheated in the
bazaars, and even keeps the irrepressi-
BILE little Jewish shoeblacks from run
ming at your heels. His dignified
port, though it at first abashes, at
last stimulates and fortifies you. You
feel that you are taking part in the
procession, and that now or never is
the time for your demeanor to be not
ed by the reporters as "affable." This
is the cavass frame of mind. And to
think that you can enjoy the harmless
eXaltation for "the ridiculous sum- Of

Hon. Thomas G. Fletcher, the noted
wa Governor Of the State Of Missouri,
is a great friend of Pe-ru-na. He

Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system,
and no one knows the torture and
misery I have passed through. My
doctor has prescribed various rene
dies, and 1 have never found any relief
until 1 was persuaded by a friend to
use DR.. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use of one bottle 1 feel like a new
man. It also cured me of a dropping

tenn up generally. To those who are
suffering with catarrh 1 take pleasure
in recommending your great medicine
Very respectfully.
Thomas C. Fletcher.
Everything that affects the welfare
of the people is a legitimate subject
Of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not a narrow nan
It is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of its virtues, and are
making public u%tterances On the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To a V the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca
tarrh.

OF Mrs. Pinkham's methods and medi-

do not find it any colder than in Iowa

There is pending before the North

provides for a constitutional amend

the clause admitting persons, their

Of course few of these curious mis-
sives ever reach the Prince of Wales,
for his experienced secretaries sift the
correspondence with care and knOWl-
edge. Every day there are scores of
letters connected with the public cere-
monies in which the prince takes a
part, for every item is submitted for
approval. Then there are the thou
sand and one social invitations re-
curing a reply, and unnumbered ap-
meals for none in aid of charities.
The private letters for the prince are
very numerous, for his relatives keep
him in touch with all interesting them.
His sister, the Empress Frederick, is
a charming letter writer, and CORE
spends with the prince regularly.
