StOrks in COnstantInOple.

One Of the most interesting
sights at this time of year in
Constantin, pie is to watch the
.storks rearing their young. Ev-
cry year the old birds return to
their former nests, which are
generally placed on the fiat tops
of the Turkish chlmneys. They
are supposed to bring good luck
and rather than brighten them
away a Turk will not use his
kitchen chimney while they are
in possession. The parents bill
of fare for their little ones is
varied. A snake or frog is ev-
identity great delicacy, but the
former gives its captor a very
bad time. The writer has Of
ten seen Stork coming home
holding in its bill a long live
snake, which all the time is try
ing to get hold of the birds feet,
which are tucked away as far as
possible out of danger. When
at last he arrives with his tit-bit,
all the little Storks stand up and,
throwing their heads back till
their beaks rest on their backs,
begin clapping their bills, just
as if they were applaudiug with
their hands. Some times the old
bird is so pleased with this fam.
lily tribute that, forgetting the
snake, he INDUCES in similar
display, and9the snake promptly
wriggles off down the chimney

MARYLAND,s EXTRA SESSION,
Democrats Confident of g Majority
for ACKNOWLEDGMENT


BALTIMORE. Md, Feb ia Demo-
cratic majority il the State Senate being
assured. Governor Smith will no longer
delay the calling OF an extra session of
the Legislature. the purpose of which
is to disfranchise the ignorant voters in
this State. Senator John P Moore. of
Worcester county, the business partner
OF Governor Smith and a leader of the
party ON the Eastern Shore, is slowly
recovering from AZ attack of pleurisy.
and. what is perhaps more important, is
that within the last few days the two
Democratic Senators who hesitated con
corning the new Election bill have been
gotten into line. Senator Moore says:
II am in line with my party in the
matter and believe the proposed chang
in the Ballot law imposing an educational
qualification for the suffrage is a fair
one The matter has not been presented
altogether fairly by Republican news
papers II is not altogether a political
move. but one that Will 60 far toward
eliminating bribery from elections in this
State
The people do not begin TO realize the
extent of the bribery in even a local cleo
ton in certain parts of Maryland In
my own district. for instance. in an cleo
ton it is not unusual for each party to
spend in the neighborhOod of 5000
The iIliterate negro of the Eastern Shore
simply makes a business Of. selling his
vote. There are from 14000 TO 1900
negroes In my district. 4 large part Of
whom car neither read nor write"
The fact that Senator Claggett is also
i'll and unable to attend the session makes
it necessary that every other Democratic
State Senator be on hand and in line be-
fore the proclamation calling the Legis-
lature IN extra session be given out.
