TURKISH woMEN's PAsTIMEs.
Picturesque Scenes on the Sweet
 Waters of Europe and Asia.
London Chronicl.

London Chronicle.
 The summer season having now be- gun, Turkish ladies are beginning to look forward to one of their few pleas ures. In comparison with their Euro pean sisters Turkish ladies have a very poor time; in fact, they practically have no amusement at all. In the summer, however they manage to get considerable pleasure by going to the Sweet WatEs of Europe and Asia on Fridays and Sundays.
 All through the fine weather these two rivers are crowded with hundreds of boats and caiques of all descriptions. full of Turkish women, who are rQwed up and down. Unfortunately the graceful caique is dying out and be- ing replaced by the more useful boat. A caique has many disadvantages, the chief of which is that it requires a special boatman to row it, and he will never do any other work. As msot Turkish households are becoming poorer, and therefore more economical, they abandon caiques and keep boats. which are rowed by man who will do gardening or any other odd job.
 Nevertheless, enough caiques remain to make the scene a very picturesque one. Every now and then one will flash past, rowed by one, two or three men in brilliant white costumes, reliev- ed by zouave jackets, embroidered in gold and silver, or a groundwork of silk or satin. In the stern will be seated two ladies faultlessly attired in Turkish dress with a very think yash- mak. Their outer drses does not allow of much variety except in color, so they are forced to put all their in- ventive genius into their parasols. and the collection of parasols is the most where. No Turkish woman will be without one. which she always keeps up .even after sunset.
 The best caiques have over the long after-deck carpet or piece of embroid- cry which trails in the water on both sides. This is seldom seen now; in fact, there are only two regularly at- tending Sweet Waters which keep up this custom. One belongs to a Tux ish lady whose boatmen's uniforms are blue and silver, and the embroidery matches them; the other is the Khe- dives mother, whose colors are gold and crimson. and the embroidery con sists of pattern made up of crowns and fishes.
 Of course there are hundreds of boats full of men, and many firtations are carried on throughout the summer. The flirtations carried on are very mild, and consists chiefly in the lady lifting her veil and showing her face for a moment. Now and then a few words are exchanged. but that is dangerous, and can only be done when the boatmen are all in the secret.

CENSUS FIGURES OF.
 INTEREST TO ALABAMA
Tables Showing Persons of School Age, Literary, Color and Birthplace in the Various
 Counties of This State.
<By F. W. Gist.)

Washington, July 1s-(speciaD-Bui- letin No. 67 from the Census omce gives some figures which are of pecu- liar interest to Alabama at this time. It shows the number of persons or school age. males of militia age. ana males of voting age. The last named are divided by color, literacy and hEth place. and all three are given by coun- ties. The figures as published by the Census office are not so arranged as to convey at a glance, the information of most interest to Advertiser readers at this time. but in the following tables she results are given in the desired form. The first table contains the number of literate and illiterate white persons of voting age in each county. and in comparison herewith the num- Der of literate and illiterate negroes Of voting age in each county. These figures may not be exactely correct. but are approximately 50, and the correc- tions which will be shown in the final reports will be immeterial. The table follows:

scribner's Magazine for July.

Scribners' Magazine for July has an attractive flavor of adventure, sport. travel and holiday-making out of doors. The leading article describes the romance and the historic past of the Island of Sicily. The author is Rufus
 B. Richardson, director of the Amer ican school at Athens. Francis Park man. the historian. when a boy of IS, made journey to Lake George, and kept diary of what he saw in that romantic region. associated with so much of the colonial history that Park man made his special field in after years. This partion of his diaryis pub lished for the first time, and reveals the active mind of the future historian. Another article which will appeal strongly to the lover of nature is Dr. Leroy M. Yale's memories of a dnafnt old New England character, Uncle David" who gave him his first lessons in fishing and hunting. The story of 'Krag. the Kootenay Ram" by Ernest Seton-T Thompson. is concluded drama tically. The illustrations include a wonderful head of "Krag," drawn by the author. G. R. Putnam. of the Coast and Geodetfc Survey. made a Journey along apart of the shore of the Yukon delta never visited by white man be- fore. He describes this unusual trip and illustrates it with some striking photographs. John La Farge's diary of his voyage in the Pacific Is concluded with an account of Tahiti, fully illus trated from MT. La Farge's own draw ings and paintings. There Is also a short story of life in a mining camp oh the shores of Lake Superior. It is by Sewell Ford. the author of skipper" Mrs. Wiggins Diary of a Goose Girl' ! couoes fo an end ip a very pretty love story, Matthew Arnold is the subject of a remarkably discriminating essay by w. C. Brownell. Senator Hoar gives personal "reminiscences of famous ora tors he has heard. There is a poem by Mrs. Dorr. Illustrated by her daughter. Mrs. Steel: other poems by Marguer- ite Merington and Martha Gilbert Dick inson. and a discussion in the Field of Art, of some French caricaturists.s

YANKEE IS PASSING AWAY. .
Native-Born New Englanders Now
 See Minority There.
Springfield Republican.

| Springfield Republican.
 That the native population of New England is not maintaining its numeri- cal strength Is pretty well known Hence the facts brought out in the vital statistics of Connecticut for last year, that the native population is fast being overwhelmed by the element oi immediate foreign extraction, will sur prise no one. It appears that in all sections of the State the deaths among the native population exceed the births from native pdrentage, while the burden of providing natural increase in the population rests wholly upon people of foreign birth. IH This Is true of the country as well as the urban districts. In forty-one back towns, peopled largely by natives the deaths exceeded the births last year by 240. In the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Meriden, Waterbury, New London. Norwcih and Bridgeport the births from native-born parents mum Der 3.393, while the deaths of native
 born numbered APT; among the for eignuborn births were 4227 and deaths onI y 1,867-there possibly being an error in the duplication of the figures 4,227, but, in any event, for the whole State. the native births mum lbered 8,22y and deaths 10,3SS, and the foreign birth S.219, and deaths only 3,67S. From such facts 1t Is easy to figure out the early displacement of the older native ele- ment by a population of immediate or very recent foreign origin.
 The Massachusetts vital statistics re- veal the same population tendencies.
 There are some countervailing con- alterations to be taken into account when studying such statistics as the above. The foreign born element pos sesses much larger proportion of Ter sons of child bearing age than the native born. for immigration draws chiefly from the youth of other coun- tries and the adult of low ages. Hence also the death rate among the foreign born is favored above the native-born by the absence of normal proportion of people advanced ago. Furthermore, as the death-rate Is large among young children and as the number of chill dren horn here of foreign born parents is relatively large, and az the deaths of such children count against the native element in the above statistics, another and a very material deduction is obviously to be made on behalf of the native population. But, after all allow ances are made. the fact remains that the population of New England. of more than one generation of American nativity, seems to be losing ground This may arise-doubtIess does arisa- from the emigration of the YanKee youth toward the West, and in making account of this the old New England family is unquestionably proving to be at least barely -perpetuating, but on New England soil this Yankee ele- ment is slowly but surely being engulf- ed by other people. who are compara- tive strangers to the region.

THE COMMUNITY OF INTEREST
 IDEA IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS

down the haunts of crime and rebuild ing improved tenements on their sites and in the most recent project of belt ing the city with a girdle of parks as breathing places 10 cost many millions of pounds. The London Council has taken a step Glasgow ward already in possessing itself of several tramways whose franchises have expired, im- proving the service and decreasing the fares. so that one may ride for miles on 2-cent fare and as far as the line extends for 4 cents. That great Amert- can. George Peabody, set London to thinking along .eh lines of tenement re- form by his gifts and beQuests which combined charity with business at a double profit. Actual operations have been begun for the erection of what will practically be independent cities with capacity for quite 50. people, and at Bethnal Green more than 5000 people are already housed in beautiful buildings fronting on wide streets and gardens. with baths and laundries-all supplied at the minimum cost. but still at profit to the civic landlord. The then Prince of Wales opened" the area now covered by these Improvements. and the incidental cost of his attend ance. which would have provided for another house or two, was charged to profit and loss. The London School Board has gone q step further than the Glasgow corporation in one respect. and that is in providing for municipal fire insurance. following a system which has prevailed in Berlin and Switzerland for some time, thus saving vast sum to the city and reducing risks to the minimum. The general government has long run the tele graph of Great Britain as an adjunct of the postal system, and a movement is on foot for taking over the telephone. fol- lowing the lead of France, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland. It is said that In the matter of managing and owning its own telephone service Trondtem. in Norway. sets the pace. building its own lines and furnishing perfect service at . total cost of less than SIS a customer per year..
 And so the movement for municipal ownership of utilities Is spreading to Great Britain and Europe. Aristocratic cities like Berlin and Vienna absolute ly control the franchises of their street railways, receiving a share of the prof it's and having options on their absorp ton by the municipalities after a peri cd of years. Paris has not gone quite so far. but the city government exact- ed creditable terms from the new un- derground system, the Metropolitan. before ic would grant a franchise. The service. which was opened last year. Is said to be 8 model. the fares from 3 cents to 6 cents. according to class and distance travelled. The tendencies. as shown above. of all the great cities of Europe, are toward municipal owner ship of utilities. beginning with trans portation.
 lrrta ,~rohYa,,. ce -,nva,,in~ .ra ao ,su~ for a city, as a noted economist de- clared years ago, is no more a political problem than is that of caring for or conducting Q private business.
