Countries In the World.
The Ottoman empire Is, In potential
resources, probably the richest country
In the world next to the United States,
says Golfers Weekly. For years
American and Turkish statesmen have
been endeavoring with all their power
to foster what little trade their coun-
tries have, and to create new trade
9hannels to commercially connect the
republic and the empire. These n
deavors have already borne good fruit,
and the future possibilities In that d.
rection are infinite. The mutual rela-
tons OF commerce amount already to
millions, and 1t would be most unfor-
tunate that an untoward event should,
disturb in their growth these promi
Ing shoots of trade, and bring about
distrust which would cause the ori
mating of new branches of trade to
made impossible for many years q
come. The feeling of fellowship anon
nations is to a large extent sentiment
tai, especially when there is no possiu
bic point Of hostile contact. The
turks have been educated to know
that there is u great free nation far In
the west, foremost in all the endeavors
Of commerce. industry and technical
Inventions nation to whom thai
could without any fear entrust the
development Of their magnificent n
sources.

group that we have been unusually
kind to. She was the particular pet Of
the family. Her body was covered by
the prettiest white fur ever saw. 1t
was without y blemish, and We came
to look upon her as the prettiest bit Of
cat flesh on the face of the earth. But
something happened to her one day rs
she was rummaging around In an old
pantry, and 1t changed the course Of
her life completely. She got mixed up
with a lot Of bluing bottles. and when
she scrambled out Of the pantry she
was as blue as she could be. Her color
had completely changed. She was fear
fully distressed about the matter and
seemed to be somewhat alarmed over
the sudden change Of her appearance.
But the surprise she felt was nothing
compared to the surprise shown by her
relatives and associates. In the mo.
ment of her alarm she turned to the
mother cat of the tribe, ana here Is
where the interesting point comes In.
The old cat would have nothing to do
with her. She resented her approaches
by splitting ut her and manifested her
dislike of 1t all In other ways equally
as unmistakable. From that time on
she became IN Outcast: her relatives

Study What You Most Anect.

Scientists now acknowledge that edu-
cation has most effect upon mediocre
minds. 1t can do great deal with
them. less for those that are defective
and still less for those highly endowed;
for talented persons, even though they
may receive all the usual courses of In.
tellectual training, usually educate
themselves. They gain their most val.
liable education through the exercise OF
their strongest faculties. Work is their
tutor and self-dlrection their college.
Parents and tutors need to have a
care that their efforts to be helpful to
children do not interfere with the nat.
ural development of their faculties.
This Is sometimes done through not rec
ognizlng their special abilities, quite
frequently from wish to fix their des.
