THE TURK.

Looting and numbering, when it
can be engaged in with compare
tive safety to himself, is a f%avorite
pastime with the Turk, and it is
with great reluctance, when once
started on a raid, that he ceases
from the bloody work, especially
if his victims are Christians. The
average Turk would rather kill q
Christian any time than eat when
hungry. His hatred of the follow
ers Of the Nazarine is SO great as
to correspond fairly we'll with his
love Of booty which is a control

they were compelled to interfere

Since then it has generally been

A METROPOLITAN METAMORPHOSIs.

With the single exception OF the tunnel ex-
cavatiOns the most remarkable physical feature
OF NewIork at the present time is the work Of
reconstruction which is going on in many resi-
dence parts OF the city. An intelligent traveller
from England a few years ago said that the
most surprising sight he had seen here, II not
anywhere was the tearing down OF spacious
and substantial houses by owners who wanted
something better, at least different. That
process which dated from the development of
a new style of domestic architecture the
upper West Side, was indeed, worthy of obser-
vation at the tine OF the Englishman's visit,
but since then II has extended fast and far

merely surprised but amazed. Even those who
live IN New-York find it is becoming an unfamil-
lar city, and occasional visitors must often Won

II is interesting to consider the probable limits
Of this phenomenal transformation. Is it des-
tined to continue until the aspect Of all the more
desirable residence streets has been completely
altered? Nobody can positively tell, but there
is not a little reason to suppose that the meta
morphosis. conspicuous as 1t already is, has only
just begun. On the whole. 1t can hardly be dis
puted that the change is an Improvement and
probably those who bringing 1t about are
for the most part well pleased with their own
contributions thereto. Yet 1t is curious TO re-
fleet that in many cases the work Of demolition
and reconstruction has not been exactly volun-
tary Not few householders who were salts

They have seen surrounding houses so remod-

would do their duty If sufficient evidence OF
violations OF the law were laid before them.
The owners OF the Long Branch gambling

could not be intimidated or cajoled. Here was
