THE UNSPEAkABLE TURK.
He ScOrns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.

He ScOrns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.
A Turk thinks it the most natural
thing in the world to lose a province
and, having lost it, to quit and live
elsewhere. He talks quite complacent-
ly of leaving Constantinople some day.
He will go over to Asia and found an
other capital. He originates nothing.
He takes what he finds without as
similating it and remains profoundly
Turkish. He leaves no trace of his
occupation except ruins. Practically
there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofia and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
All occupations. except agricultural
and military service, are distasteful to
him. Yet there are two other charac-
teristics even more important than
these. The first is his sense of disci-
the apparently lettering fabric of the
Turkish empire. 1t makes the half fed,
half clothed soldier ready to endure
every privation and prevents the cor
ruption and incapacity Of the officers
from producing the anarchy which
would be inevitable in any other coun.
try. Sedition is unknown. Even com
plants are rare, and were a holy wal
proclaimed there is not a man who
would not be prepared to die in de-
Tense of the system of eXtortion which
grindS him down.
His second characteristic is his lazi-
ness. in spite of the laborious indus
try of the Turkish peasant The fact
is that the Turk is too proud to do
many things, too stupid to do others.
His religion inculcates fatalism
which tends to conviction that eff
fort is useless.-London Telegraph.

USEFUL SNOW.
But For 1t Much of the Earth Would
s44Il nnAAo.. MN n nnanrt


Ee Little Better Than Desert.
If all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none Of it as snow, hundreds of thou
sands of square miles of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than a desert.
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between snow and rain is
seldom realized by the inhabitants of
fertile and well watered lowlands
1t is in the extensive regions where ir-
rigation is prime necessity in agricul-
ture that the special uses of the snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
high mountains and packing itself
firmly into the ravines. Thus in ma
lures great icehouse a supply of mois-
ture is stored up for the following sum
mer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snowbanks are melting grad
ually. In trickling streams they stead
lily feed the rivers, which as they flow
through the valleys are utilized for ir-
rigation. If this moisture fell as rain,
it would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all in the summer,
when the crops most needed water
These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio,
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes a disagreeable, fea-
ture of winter
In all parts of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is of great value
as fertilizer. Scientists, however, are
inclined to attach less importance to it's
service in soil nutrition-for some re-
gions which have no snow are exceed
ingly fertile-than to it's worth as a
blanket during the months of high
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off of
the finely pulverized richness of the
top soil. This, although little perceiv-
ed. would often be very great loss.
In natures every form there is mean
ing.-Youth's Companion.
