The Newport News observes
that the wave of progress has
struck the Sultan of Turkey. He
has banished some 700 of his
offending subjects, including a
number of the jadies of his harem,
instead of having them bagged
and weighted and dropped into
the Bosphorus. Rumor says that
the old method Of getting rid of
those obnoxious to him was prac-
ticed in some cases this time,
but on the whole there is a'grea4
step towards civilization to be

CHILDREN IN HOLLAND.

Little Lads and Lass!es in q Schevenin-
gen kindergarten.
Wandering through the crooked
streets Of the little fishing village Of
Scheveningen, from which the famous
Dutch watering place takes it's name,
hear many shouts of laughter issu-
ing from a garden inclosed by high
walls. The gate was open and
peeped in. My curiosity was rewarded
by one Of the sweetest sights have
ever witnessed. About 20 little Dutch
maids and lads, there ages varying
from three to six years, were enjoy
ing a game of ordinary American tag,
while a little attendant of about IL
years stood by, busily knitting while
she watched them. A bell sounded.
They all fell in line behind the little
knitter and walked demurely, two by
two, in serpentine line around the
garden and disappeared in a long hall,
at the door of which each child took
off it's little wooden shoes and held
them in one hand behind it's back,
says writer in the Washington Star.
In the meantime the principal came
out and invited me by signs to enter.
In the hall noticed the little sabots
laid orderly, side by side. There were
three halls in this kindergarten. In
each were so children, between the
ages of three and six years-the girls
in gowns to their ankles. held out in
balloon fashion with haircloth petit
coats, little white shawls pinned over
the shoulders and caps covering their
straight yellow locks.

The WHITE DEATHS
Remarkable Mist IN the Rockies Which
Often Proves Fatal.

Remarkable Mist in the Rockies Which
Often Proves Fatal
OF an the natural phenomena Pc
culiar to the Rocky Mountain region
none Is more strange or terrible than
the mysterious storm known to the In
dams as "the white DEATH" Scientific
men have never yet had an opportun-
ity OF investigating 1t, because IL
comes at the most unexpected times
and may keep away from a certain To-
cality for years. Well-read men who
have been through it say that 1t is
really a frozen fog. But where the
fog comes from is more than any one
can say. This phenomenon occurs
most frequently In the northern part
Of Colorado, in Wyoming and occa-
stonally In Montana. About two years
ago a party Of three women and two
men were crossing North Park in q
wagon in the month OF February,
The air was bitterly cold, but dry as
a bone and motionless. The sun shons
with almost startling brillianoy. As
the FIVE people drove along over the
crisp snow they did not experience the
least cold, but really felt most COM
Portable, and rather enjoyed the trip.
Mountain peaks fifty miles away could
be seen as distinctly as the pine trees
by the roadside. Suddenly one of the
women put her hand up to her face
and remarked that something had
stung her. Then other members OF
the party did the same thing, although
there was not an insect in sight. All
marVelled greatly at this. A moment
later they noticed that the distant
mountains were disappearing behind
cloud Of mist. Mist in Colorado in
February Surely there must be some
mistake. But there was no mistake,
because within ten minutes a gentle
wind began to blow, and the air be-
came filed with fine particles of some
thing that scintillated like diamond
dust in the sunshine. Still the peo-
pie drove on until they came to a
cabin where man signalled them to
stop. With his head tied up in a
bundle Of muflers, he rushed out and
handed the driver piece of paper on
which was written: Gene into the
house quick, or this storm will kill
all Of you. Don't talk outside here"
OF course no time was lost In getting
under cover and putting the horses in
the stables. But they were little
late, for In less than an hour the
whole party was sick with violent
coughs and fever. Before the next
morning one of the women died with
all the symptoms of pneumonia. The
others were violently i'll Of it, but
managed to pull through after long
sickness.
