Turkish woman, resolved to give her one

long in waiting and she herself remained
so long away from home that Ali Fer

Ali FerrOuh's Baby and His Sister.
There is a charming baby in the fam
lily. young man that has nothing lam
guorous about his lungs, and like the
neighborhood babies he has a colored
nanny for his urse. The Turkish minis
ter is very proud of his heir and struts
about the walks of Cleveland Park
where the legation is situated, in close
attendance upon the stylish perambulatoI
and its dusky attendant. Little Madame
Ali Ferrough can only peep through the
curtains of her apartment to see her son
thus taking the air, but she he's a COM

by her parents during her absence as her

his bride until after the marriage cere-

tage of a few peeps at him through the
eye holes in her veil. This all seems very

top to toe, and her knowledge of rail-
road craft enabled her to avoid what
might have been a most awful wreck.
Her reward was such an education as
few girls of her station in life ever re-
ceive. She was given the full course
at one of the finest educational institu-
tons in the West. and at it's close was
offered a postgraduate course in me-
chanical engineering. Her schooling fin
ished, she was taken into the office OF
the superintendent of motive power at
a nice salary, which was looked upon by
the men in the office as a kind of pen

her time would be occupied in checking

young woman soon showed that her edu-
cation was not entirely ornamental, and
that she was fitted for better work than

HARMFUL TO CHILDREN.
why II Reaction Has Set in Against the
Sensational Newspaper.

why hrs set Ill Against the
Sensational Newspaper.
In an editorial ON The New Pace
for Children" the editor OF the Cen
fury depores the effect on childish
minds of the too early reading OF
newspapers, especially those that are
run for revenue only.
1t is n deplorable fact that Of late
years, for lack Of support, Il number
of excellent magazines for children
have been discontinued-in the latest
instance with the frank statement that
the vogue of the newspaper had short
encd the term of childhood so greatly
as to make it impossible to sustain
such a magazine, the proprietorS say
ing, in effect, that boys and girls, in
the old sense of an audience for juven-
lie periodical literature, exists no long
er. The fault, perhaps, is not with the
child nor with the editor, but with the
busy parent of these latter years; for
the newspaperreadng child is the pro-
duct of the last decade. The boy of
ten or twelve, at the age when he
ought to be acquiring taste for good
literature. is too often left to the ephe
neral contents of the Illustrated news
paper. Even when the newspaper is Il
good one he is being startled from the
repose of his proper age. He is made
man before his time. He is allowed
to share the rapid pace ut which mod
crn life is set. Not for him should De
the heavy and the weary weight
OF all this unintelligibe world.
And IL the newspaper be conducted
without conscience his mind becomes
the breeding ground of false ideals
infested by the microbes of envy, So
cial discomfort, ambitious greed, scan
dial, desire for luxury, and disbelief in
virtue. If he be child of the tene
ment with little other reading, is il
any wonder that he should grow W
into the criminal classes? And We,
such newspapers are tolerated in tn,
houses of decent and intelligent pee
pie!
The death of President Mckinley
has set people to thinking as to the in
sidious influences that may have opcr-
ated on the mind Of the wretched and
pitiable assassin, little more than
perverted boy, and, as n consequence,
healthy reaction has set against the
sensational newspaper. 1t will be we'll
if this shall extend to all newspapers
of the class. But it will be best if the
country can be aroused to substitute
for them decent newspapers, maya
zines and books, and particularly to
study carefully the kind of reading
which goes to the formation of the
china cipr of children.

Some persons still believe that the
weather is controlled, to an important
extent by the influence of the moon or
the planets. Long-range weather pre-
dictions, based upon this supposed in
huence, are published, apparently find
ing a considerable number of believers,
or it would not pay to print them. An
other experiment of this sort is now
being tried in Russia.
During the past year journal called
Climat has been published every two
months at st. Petersburg. 1t is print
ed in English, German, French and
Russian under the editorship of Mr..
Nicolai Demtschinsky. The earlier
numbers were devoted to predictions of
the weather for long time in advance
nv means of certain deductions based
upon the alleged influence OF the moon.
The publication of these articles seems
to have revived some interest in the
matter. The predictions were made
TO include places as far away as Aber-
deem, Scotland and Valencia. Spain.
DIR. II. r. Mill, the editor of Symons'
Monthly Meteorological Magazine has
lust subjected the predicted weather
conditions for Aberdeen and Valencia
to the test of comparison with the
weather actually observed at those
places. The results are disastrous for
the predictions. He found, as was to
he expected, that "practically the fore
casts as whole would appear to be
yalueless" as far at least as those two
stations are concerned. note in the
Bulletin of the American Geographical
Society says that, as far as the writer
has observed, this is the only published
comparison OF predictions with the
facts of observed weather.
1t cannot be said that any note
worthy results have yet been attained
from the efforts of many persons to
trace the supposed influence of the
moon upon weather. DR.. Ham, in
his great work on "Klimatologie"
makes no allusion to the matter. Prof
Davis of Harvard, in his Elementary
Meteorology" says: THE control of
the weather by the moon or the plan
cts still occasionally finds enough be-
levers to support the publication of
elaborate long-range weather predic
tons. AS these are couched in general
language and intended to be applicable
to large areas of the country it is not
at all difficult to gather a number of
Notifications for them: but they are
no better than the forgotten predic
lions of astrology of centuries ago

Experience in the east in regard to
the effect of asphalt pavement upon
trees by the roadside has taught OBJ
servers that the influence of the I'M
pervious pavement depends upon the
character of the soil. Where there is
substratum of rock and trees will
suffer, because the pavement will pre-
vent moisture from reaching the roots
from above. from which direction all
nourishment for the trees must come.
On the other hanu, where there is deep
soil the roots will find plenty of nour
ishment under the pavement, which
serves to keep the moisture from
evaporating and holds it in supply for
the trees. 1t will probably be found
that where trees have died as result
of asphalting the roots were cut by
the eXcavators for the concrete foun-
dation. Trees which are thus robbed
of roots must be deprived of branches
sufficient to Offset the loss of nourish-
ment. The builders of cement foot
paths are also responsible for the in
jury of good many trees. They chop
out all the roots that interfere with
the laying of a cinder foundation, and
some trees have their main roots very
close to the surface of the soil.

The increase of stature among the
Japanese is very perceptible; and the
substitution of tepid and even cold wat
er for the hot baths among many of
the people Is responsible for an in
crcasng tloridity Of the complexion.
Before the advent of military discip-
line on European models the Japanese
were notable as the smallest
race in the world, firm of London
collar-makers with large trade to
Japan asserting that l3 inches was the
normal circumference of full-grown
Japanesc's throat. In little over 20
years, owing to more athletic develop
ment, the average has risen an inch
and half. TO athletic development
should also be added greater avoirdu-
pois, inasmuch as more generous diet
and abstention from parboiling are
bringing their reward in an accumula
ton of muscle and tissue.

KnIlieses in Wood.

Now that there Is so much talk about
the durability of Australian timbers. it
might not be out of place to consider
some other hard woods that are nearer
to hand than the Karri and Jnrrah
forests of Westralia. There is in the
British Museum life-siZe wooden
image of Rameses 1.-THE famous Sc
sostris-which seems to be in perfect
state of preservation. AS this partic-
ular Rameses fOurlshed over thirty
two centuries ago, we may fairly take
it that this piece of timber from the
Nile valley is at least 5000 years old.
and it is practically certain that 1t has
passed through many trying vicssi-
tudps, such as being buried among
ruins. submerged in Nile floods, and
the rest. WeStralian wood enthusiasts
who have lately been Boosting that
