VICTORY oF ZEE CAMERA.
1t Has Accomplished an Invasion OF
the Turkish Harem and Taken
the Beauties.


The camera has won another vic
tory. 1t has invaded the Turkish
harem. The queen of the harem,
who, according to contemporary art
lists, spends her time reclining Ian
guidly upon gorgeous cushions,
famed by picturesque slaves, will be
shown in her habits as she lives, and
one more arabian Nights" illusion
will be shattered, says the Baltimore
Sun.
Of course, it is expressly forbid
den that the photographs of women
shall be circulated outside of the fam
lily, but presumably feminine vanity
hourishes as well in Turkey as in
any other country, and the chances
that pictures will not pass beyonu
the harem are hardly worth the risk
of white chip.
The most famous photographer of
Constantinople is the only one to
whom the sultan has granted the
privilege of photographing the Turk
ish women, and it is safe to suppose
that he is an object of envy to his
less fortunate feIlow-citizens. The
photographer is a recent convert to
Islam, and the sultan may have de-
cided to show him what could be done
in the line of houris by way of clinch-
ing his zeal.
The amateur photography craze,
which is spreading in Turkish home
steads, opens possibilities more anus
ing than the favored professional
does. It is said that the women,
whose enforced seclusion makes them
seize upon any diversion with en-
thusiasm, have taken to the pastime
and are photographing' everything in
sight.
One of the Turkish correspondents
of a French paper tells an entertain
ing bit of gossip in regard to one
Turkish household which has been
undergoing most violent disturbances,
all because the other women saw
their chance of getting back at the
favorite of their lord and master.
They got snap shots of her in her
bad tempers and her unbecoming
clothes, and part of the collection
having CHANGED to fall into the hands
of the vain beauty there were storms
that rent a happy home asunder and
made one naughty Turk wish he had
never been born,

DOORS OF THE KITCHEN.
BY the Exercise of Care ana the AdOD-
tiOn of ventiIatOr the House,
wife Can Control Them.

Odors are subtle, withal searching.
In dealing with those in the kitchen
an ounce of prevention is worth at
least a ton of cure. The heavy smell
of stale grease, most clinging and
most offensive of all, comes more
than anything else from stopping or
suffering over, which very little
care in range management prevents.
The acrid smell of burnt or scorched
things is positively painful-so much
so that a cooks first lesson ought to
be that fire was given for cooking,
not burning. Leaving unwashed pots
and stewpans to dry and simmer on
the range is a fruitful source of i'll
doors easily remedied. Dissolve two
pounds of washing soda in gallon
of boiling water and keep a bottle
of it handy. AS you empty cooking
vessels pour in soda water an inch
deep, shake it well all around the
sides and leave until washing time.
If the pots and pans keep warm, SO
much the better-the soda will do its
work more perfectly.
Onions, turnips and all the cab
bage tribe, which smell to heaven,
may have their scent somewhat
abated by little care in the boiling.
The odor comes from their essential
oils, which volatilize. If the vege-
tables are prepared some hours be-
fore they are wanted and left to
soak in weak, cold water, rinsed and
put over the fire in fresh, cold wa
ter, they throw up this essential oil
largely in the form of a scum. Let
them come to boil before putting
in the salt, and skim very clean.
After the salt is in add a dash of cold
water-it will throw up second
scum, which must be removed at
once. Cook all such vegetables I'M
covered. A lid strengthens the odor
tenfold and makes it more offensive.
Another preventive is a bread crust,
very hard and very stale. Drop it
into the water just as it strikes a
boil and let it stay ten minutes, then
skim it out. Most of the oil will
come with it; further, the spongy
crust will have kept it from vaporiz-
ing. Cauliflower not quite fresh al
ways smells tremendously. The best
thing for it is a scald in weak salt
water, boiling hot, before the cold
soaking. If the heads are big cut
them into pieces so as to make sure
of removing every bit of discolored
curd.
Even when summer heat puts an
open fireplace out of commission, q
quick fire, as of straw, excelsior,
light shavings, even newspapers, will
set up a purifying draught and help
to, free the kitchen of unpleasant
odors. Failing an open fireplace the
kitchen ought to have a range hood.
There are hoods and hoods-at al
most any price you choose, from the
big FURNISHED copper affairs, in the
great hotels, to the modest sheet
iron contrivance, which is an integral
part of so many among the newest

She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
Iess---Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
ST suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
It interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Or
der advised me TO try Peruna and gave
it such high praise that I decided to
try it. Although I started in with lit
tie faith, I felt SO much better in a
week that felt encouraged.
''I took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
enjoy that noW."-Minnie E. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people TO initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal itonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price,
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap imitat ions
of Peruna for Peruna. It is done ev-
cry day without doubt.

stoves. There is movable hood,
working up and down like the shut
ter of rolltop desk, that is in theory
all a hood ought to be-with Rome-
thing to spare-but in practic; has
proved much less satisfactory than
the stationary ones.
No mechanical contrivance can
wholly make up for the lack of care
and intelligence in the cook-not-
withstanding it is a fact that a hood,
well-set, in a large measure carries
away the fumes of food. The man
ner of setting viii depend on the size
and location of the fue. The lower
edge ought to be high enough to be
quite out of the way, yet not so high
as to either miss or defeat the as
cending hot air column. It may seem
at first a costly betterment, for no
direct material benefit, but years
use will show the money to have
been well spent.
Not to name present and everyday
comfort, all things keep much better
in a well-aired house. Smells are
ner of setting will depend on the size
but the cognizab BILE signs of air condi-
tions that breed mold, rust and must.
Metal furnishes and fabrics decay
twice as quickly in heavy and musty
air as in that which is clean and
bracing.
A kitchen with neither hood nor
fireplace should at least have trum-
pet ventilator. This is only a tin
tube with a widely faring mouth,
crooked body and narrow upper end.
1t should be set in the wall above
the range, with the faring mouth,
which curves over and downward,
against the ceiling. The narrow end
goes inside the fue, projecting just
enough to secure a good draught.
The efficacy of this device, make
shift at best, depends mainly upon
the size and smoothness of the far
ing mouth and the tightness of the
setting in the Chicago Record

Postage May Be Raised.

Postmaster General Smith ex-
planned to the cabinet the other day
that the revenues of the postal serv-
ice were being kept at point far be-
low what they otherwise would be-
but for the fact that under the pres
ent classification a large class of pc
riodicals were being handled at the
rate of one cent a pound, which was
a financial loss to the service 1t was
his purpose to modify the regulations
so as to compel this class of publica-
lions to pay eight cents pound in
stead of one, as now. These new reg
ulations, it is said, will be issued soon.
The postmaster general did not
make it clear whether he meant all
periodicals, or only those of certain
class. If the contemplated increase
is to affect all magazines it will be an
immense item of expense to them, as
well as a big increase in the govern
ment revenues,

JOHNSON AT WORK AGAIN.

Racine, Wis, July 22nd.-John john
son, of No. 924 Hamilton Street, this
city, is a happy man.
For years he has suffered with Kid
ney and Urinary trouble. He was so
broken down that he was forced to
quit work. Everything he tried failed,
till friend of his recommended a new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr..
johnson used them, and the result sur
prised him. He is we'll as ever he was,
completely cured, and working away
every day.
His case is regarded by those who
knew how very bad he was, as almost
a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a much talked of medicine.

POCKET MONKEYS IN FAVOR
Diminutive and Engaging Pets That
Are Brought from the
WiIds of Brazil.

The latest fad in the way of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm, says the New York
Sun. Now his popularity has become
so great that the men who make bust
ness of catering to the whims of the
people who like pets say that the de-
mand for the pocket monkey is five
times s great as the supply. They pre-
dict a bright future for the new ia
vorite just as soon as the people down
in Brazil can be made to understand
what a good commercial article they
have and thus be induced to make a,
regular business of capturing these
monkeys and shipping them up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is,
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
five feet long, but with tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily of monkeys, and is extremely neat
in person and Clearly of habit. If it
wasn't for these characteristics, he
would not be holding the place he
does in the hearts of those who have
invested in him.,
eve can't get enough of them,' said
a man who makes business of sell
ing pets. 81 have one here that I have
been offered $50 for, but the average
price is $25. They are the finest little
acrobats I've ever seen. For instance,
here's a cage made on purpose for a
pocket monkey. You will notice that
it resembles a miniature gymna sium.
There are trapezes, horizontal bars and
all sorts of things of that kind. Now,
if the pocket monkey didn't find them
in his house, he would be heart-bro ken.
Of course they don't perform just
whenever one wants them to, but in
the morning, just after they have
walked up, you will find them doing
every conceivable gymnastic stunt,
and if you don't laugh, you are per-
son with no sense of humor.''

A REAL WE'RE HERE.
KipIing,s story-Book Boat Sailed OCT
OF BOOthbay, Me-, But the Skipper
Dian't Know Him.

II don't know anything about the
Mister Kipperlin' you speak of, but We
can't tell me nothin' about the We're
Here.''
That is what Cap'n Freeman T.
Bridges, of East Bucksport, says, and
as he sailed the old craft made famous
by Rudyard Kiping in Captains Cour-
ageous," he ought to know. Though
in the story the We're Here posed as
Gloucester craft, and she may have
sailed out of Gloucester at some time
in her career, for years she hailed
from Boothbay, Me-, and at least three
of her former shippers are living and
have vivid recollection of her.
''The We're Here was as able vessel
as I ever set foot on said Cap'n
Bridges to a New York Sun reporter.
"She would carry you to the Banks
and bring you back safe and sound.
She has weathered many gale which
has sent able craft to the bottom. I
sailed her for five years, an know
what I am talkin' about. One year a
terrible storm swept everything off the
Banks but the We're Here, and she
rode out the gale like duck. Another
time we were the only craft of a fleet
of 20 sail which held on at a blow
round the Virgin Rocks. She was a
duck, that's what she was, but she was
kind O. hombly."
The schooner Carrie Pitman, whose
propensity for getting adrift under va
rious circumstances made her in the
story the butt of the Grand Banks con-
tingent, was Maine craft during the
most of her existence, and for years
led the Bucksport feet with the first
fare home. She still holds the record
of the largest fare for her tonnage
ever brought into that port, coming in
one fall with the water actually flowing
into her scuppers. She was built in
Davenport, Mass, one year later than
the We're Here. She died a natural
death, and her bones can be seen at
Deer Isle, home of the cup defenders
sailors.
''The Price LeBoo, Chatham boat"
which appeared on the Banks in the
story, is still afioat, and in active serv-
ice as a coaster between Bangor and
Boston, probably the only craft bear
ing one of the story-book names. She
is in good condition, considering her
years, and is making money for the
Yankee shippers. She has not been
to the Grand Banks for 20 years or
more, being too small as fishermen go
these days.
The King Philip, Henry Clay, Ezra
Flood, Marilla D. Kuhn, Casper Nc
Weigh, Lucy Holmes, Jennie Cushman
and Parry Norman were all actual
craft, but most if not all of them are
''dead" long ago.

English by Creo1es.

The intelligent struggles of the Gu
ban teachers with English have fur
nished us with good many pretty
stories. One day not long ago the
teachers were invited to some sort of
an evening function at the LongfelEow
house on Brattle street. 1t happened
that shortly before the hour for the
assembly some ladies who were in
front of that house were politely ap-
preached by a group of male Cuban
teachers, who, with their hats in their
hands, stood bowling. eff you please,

Eve are invited at this house tonight.
We wish to attend. We were been on
an excursion to the distance, and have
not the time to go to our house. So
thatwe wear, as you see, our day dress.
Perhaps you can tell us if it would be
permitted us to go to the reception in
our day dress? If it would not, then
certainly shall we take the time to go
to our home and put on our night dress"
The ladies assured them that they
would do much better to go as they
were than TO put on their night dress,
and they bowed gravely and. gratefully
and withdrew.-Detroit Post.

TALK ABOUT FREcKLEs.
Ghe Least Offensive of All Skin BIem-
ishes, But the Most Obstinate
to Eradicate.

The fact that freckles are the usual
penalty eXacted by nature for the
bestowaI of a delicate complexion in
no way compensates any daughter of
Eve for their unwelcome presence.
The poet may call them "the kisses of
Apollo" but she prefers to dispense
with the attentions of the sun god.
Probably the least offensive and dis
figuring of all skin blemishes, they
are >the most obstinate to remove.
Derma tologists have tried in vain to
compound remedy which should be
a permanent cure. 1t has yet to be
found True, they may be faded, even
removed in many cases, after persist
ent treatment, but with the advent of
the warm spring days and summer
winds they are very apt to reappear.
The summer girl inclined to freckle
who yet justly refuses to be housed
when sun, sky and sea WOO her, has
on hand a perpetual problem.
Freckles are divided into two classes,
cold or constitutional freckles, and
summer or light freckies. The latter
fade gradually, or yield for time, at
least, to mild lotions. The former re-
quire almost heroic treatment, which
then frequently brings disappoint-
ment. 1t is impossible truthfully to
guarantee" a freckIe cure. The very
situation of the freckle-beIow the
shareholders an obstacle. One. diff
ficulty in the wey of their removal lies
in the wide difference in the texture
of different skins. A freckle lotion
that will have no effect upon ones COM
plexion will irritate and blister that of
another.
The chief ingredient which enters
into many freckle lotions is acid. An
acid will bleach the spots when it
reaches them. 1t must usually have
something to draw them nearer to the
surface. Ordinary massage of the
face will do this gradually, and, by
promoting the activity of the skin,
in a manner prevent the small deposits
of iron Good facial circula ton is a
foe to most facial blemiShes. The COM
monesr acid and the most effective is
lemon juice, pure or diiI1ed, as the skin
dictates.-Iedger Mcn-hly
