An Episode in a Turkish Harem.


A woman Of the harem is taken sick.
Turkish etiquette makes no allowance
for sickness. The woman is for her hus-
bands eyes alone. No other man may
look upon her When the doctor comes
the sick woman thrustS her hand through
a curtain, on the other side of which sits
the physician. From the hand alone he
must make his diagnosis. AS a conse-
quence when a Turkish woman is sick
she does not often get we'll.
There is a modesty of nature among
American women which, as much as the
modesty Of etiquette among Turkish
women, often prevents an attending ply

disease. Women who are suffering from

HERR MosTs SENTENCE.

At the prospect of total abstinence from Reclamation and beer during the long procession of 365 days Herr Most came nigh to weeping. His spirit was broken by the harshness of his prison sentence. He explains that he meant no harm when he advised that rulers should be hunted and destroyed through blood and iron. poison and dynamite and when he published the advice in his paper under the captiyat- ing title, Murder Versus Murder"
 That he was an arrant coward was well known before, but though he has served his time in the prisons of Aus tria and England he seems utterly in- capable of realizing his responsibility for the articles he writes and the words he speaks. A passion for rheto- Tie takes him whenever it will and his disciples are of the same temperament.
 However, if anything could cause them to reflect it would be the lan- guage used by Justice Hinsdale in his offense was not affected by the as sault upon the president. It was an offense per SC of an evil and criminal nature. and the defendant was ac- countable under provision of the pe- nal code which read:
 A person who willfully ir wrong fully commits any act which seriously injures the person or property of an- other, or which seriously disturbs or which outrages the public peace or health, or which outrages public de- cency, for which no other punishment is expressly prescribed by this code, is guilty of misdemeanor.
 Furthermore the court expressed the hope that the federal laws might be so amended as to prevent the residence of such men as Most in the United States. In the country this hope is taking the form of command. Poift- ical asylum is one thing, harbor of refuge for criminals is another. and there are no more dangerous criminals than those who make it their profes- sian to counsel murder. Government has the right to deny them admission to it's domains and to isolate them from the community after they have made an entrance. Most would not be too severely punished if his sen- tence were for three or four years. and his liberty should always be con- ditioned on good behavior. Upon the first incendiary word after his release he should be arrested. tried and clap ped back into prison again. Chicago Record Herald.

AN ADVENTUROUS WOMAN.

l announced I would ride through the canon in a boat, but the men ye- hemently protested against my doing So and pleaded with me to walk around. 1 was informed that no man who ever guided a boat through Miles Canon had yet consented to take a woman through it's seething, foaming waters, but I insisted and went through. I wanted to see and ex- perience this so-called danger, which men freely court, but which women may only read or hear of
 The stream is very swift for a long distance before the entrance to the canon is reached, and as the prov of our boat was turned into the stream and caught by the current I felt as if being swung around by some mighty engine and then shot forward at a ter rife rate. I felt as if the boat would certainly glide out from under me. Faster and faster We went, until it seemed as if we had been speeding along for at least two or three min utes, while in fact the distance made required but thirty seconds When we slowed up little we felt the waters swell beneath us. churning the boat on all sides. At that point the canon widens little; the waters thrown out of the main channel are dashed, foaming and seething, against the pro- jecting sides of the granite walls which hold them in their narrow course Then if you succeed in keeping in the narrow channel you glide into very narrow part of the rapids, and in a second or more shoot down and out of the mouth of the canon into the turbu- lent waters below. After hard pull ing a landing is effected, and the pas sage is accomplished, leaving a mad desire for it's repetition. Emma l.. Kel- ly in November Lippincott's Magazine.

HELEN GoULD's PENNY BANK.
The Wealthy New York sy orn.:i Saves. Coppers for Babies FresE--
 Air Fund.

Standing in almost the center of Helen Gould's white dressing table in her boudoir and seeming oddly out of place among the silver-topped toi- let pieces young lady friend of hers saw one of those little iron penny savings banks, such as the children of the less wealthy commonly have, says the New York Times.
 .sWhy do you disfigure your dresser in that fashion?" asked the friend. Miss Gould looked at her questioner with mild expression of reproach. That" said she, ssis for my babies. It's just one of those ordinary little fresh-air fund boxes. I have pennies sometimes to save, and why shouldn't my babies profit by them?"
 ssYou dear thing." said the girl, who, as soon as she got home, inn petuously had a five-dollar bill changed into pennies, which she for warded to Miss Gould with the fol- lowing note:
 ssDear Miss Gould: Here are 500 pennies. Pray fill the box and spare your. dresser
 She hasn't yet been reproved for her impertinence. Probably Miss Gould was able to find some reason for excusing and forgiving it.

Speaking of the consolidation ofrali- road interests Henry Clews, the bank CT, in his last letter, says: The hitch which developed out of the rivalry of two big interests to secure Burlington and Quincy was chiefly responsible for the abrupt termination of the bull market last spring It is quite appar- ent now that the spectacular demon strations in Northern Pacific last sum- mer had probably more to do with re- cent declines than the crop failure, President AIcKinley's death, or fears of stringent money. It follows then that the market is still largely influ- enced by this transaction, and that any solution of the present tangle will afford very decided relief and stim- ulate renewed manipulation for higher prices. The indications are that as soon as this question is settled the movement toward standardization of railroad management will receive a fresh impetus, and the effect of this upon values is too early to determine. There is no gainsaying the advantages of this movement so far; not merely to the owners of securities but to ship pers and passengers alike who receive the benefits of uniform rates and quicker service. So long as rates are not pushed too high it seems likely that the railroads will not meet with any severe public criticism. One step in consolidation forces another, and the movement is not likely to cease until all the large systems have con- trol of the territory they are best fit ted to serve.

The secretary of war returned 10 Washington on Wednesday and the president on Thursday. and they found awaiting. them condition of affairs that caused them no little disappoint- ment The news of the continued trouble in Samar, the constant friction between the civil commission and the military authorities, and the impossi- bility of reducing the military force now on the islands, notwithstanding the fact that some 10000 men will have to be brought home, because of the expiration of the terms of their enlistment, all combine to repudiate republican predictions and worry the administration. According to the lat est advices we are trying Weyler's Cuban reconcentrado policy in Samar. All persons found outside of the towns will be treated as outlaws. It's not surprising that Roosevelt squirms at the pass to which republican colonizing policy has brought us.
