This is an anxious time for the nurses,
for they are held responsible for the

There is a fortress which was an espe-
cial favorite with the Prince of Wales
1t has been played with during the
Christmas holidays many a time by the
late Duke of Clarence and the Duke Of
York when they We're boys, and is now
looked at with intense interest by the
baby blue eyes of the Duke of York s
children.
The little brass guns of this fortress
were mounted in their present position
by the Duke Of Saxe-Coburg, whose fin
gers were always apt at delicate work,
from the driving of a screw to the WELD
ing of violin bow. Some Of the me-
chanical animals, which were much rarer
toys In the fifties than they are now, can
still be made to work, and the little fat
hands are clapped with joy in the Osborne
nursery today when woolly dog ambles

the skin elephant moves his trunk up
and down, while the mouth opens and
shuts. These give as keen q sense of
delight to the third or fourth generation
as they did to the little ones IN the Wind
sor nursery long ago. There is a certain
bagatelle board which the queens sons
played with. 1t is often brought out
for the children in the Christmas
holidays.
No less than the kaisers children, those
of the Russian imperial family undergo a
military education, and are from earliest
years familiarized, through the medium
of toys and picture books, with the work
ing of guns, the uniforms of various reg
iments, and the military history of their
country.
Needless to say, the toys of the Ger
man imperial family are military in char
acter, and their taste is shared by the
little king of Spain.

Metal, wood, straw and bread have been

The Unspeakabls Turk.

A writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat gives this as the characteris-
tic of the Turks:
Such little incidents as this make life
in Turkish political circles exhilerating
in spite of the hold-back, do-nothing
policy characteristic of the race and
country. A policy of passive resistance
is often more effective than one of ac-
tive opposition, and the Turkish idea
is not to exert ones self too vigorously
in opposition, but by steadfastly refus-
ing, or rather neglecting, to move, to
throw every conceivable obstacle in
the path of progress. The Pasha of a
Turkish port town was asked for infor-
nation concerning the city under his
jurisdiction, and replied that the num-
Der of people was known only to God,
and what one man loaded into his boat
or another packed on his camel was no
business of any one but the ship or
camel owner. Such spirit as this is
unconquerable on such an intellect it
is impossible to make an impression,
yet there is reason for the belief
that this is the prevalent type
Of mind in Turkey. The effects
of regarding the incidents, accidents,
and ordinary occurances of life, as
decreed by fate from whose edict
there is no appeal, are nowhere better
seen than in the walk and conversation
of the everyday Turk. He engages
in business, rents shop, provides o
stock of goods ond sits down to smoke
and wait for customers. The idea Of
going ont to look for business,
or Of working to build up trade, never
for a moment enters his head. He
waits for the customers to come to him
and if none come it is kismet. "WhC
shall fight against Allah, he inquiries
and thus calmly lays al the door o.
Providence the laziness and incapacity
which made and keep him a failure.

is now making tour of Barcelona and
its environs. A league against the gov

The Porto Rican law has already had
to be remedied by additional congress,

law will have to be. The latter failed
to provide for a collector of internal
revenue, or for an extension of the
United States postal laws, and Secre-
tary Gage has informed the cabinet that
he does not consider the authority
given him by the law sufficient to Justi-
fly the payment Of the Hawaiian public
debt. The country will not forget that
the republicans are responsible for this
and other slip-shod legislation forced
through congress under the party whip
and spur.
