THE UNSPEAkABLE TURK.
He Scorns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.

Service and Agriculture.
A Turk thinks it the most natural
thing in the world to lose a province
and. having lost it, to quit and live
elsewhere. He talks quite complacent-
ly of leaving Constantinople some day.
He will go over to Asia and found an
other capital. He originates nothing.
He takes what he finds without as
similating it and remains profoundly
Turkish. He leaves no trace of his
occupation except ruins. Practically
there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofia and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
All occupations, except agricultural
and military service, are distasteful to
him. Yet there are two other charac-
teristics even more important than
these. The first is his sense of disci-
pine 1t is this which keeps together
the apparently lettering fabric of the
Turkish empire. 1t makes the half fed.
half clothed soldier ready to endure
every privation and prevents the cor
ruption and incapacity of the officers
from producing the anarchy which
would be inevitable in any other coun-
try. Sedition is unknown. Even COM
plants are rare, and were a holy war
proclaimed there is not man who
would not be prepared to die in de-
tense of the system of eXtOrtiOn which
grinds him down.
His second characteristic is his lazi-
ness, in spite of the laborious indus
try of the Turkish peasant. The fact
is that the Turk is too proud to do
many things. too stupid to do others.
His religion inculcates a fatalism
which tends to a conviction that eff
fort is useless.-London Telegraph

His Daring Dash Was Vain.

Monroe, Wis, Feb. 11.-George NJ.
Steiner, the man who made a daring
dash for liberty through a car window
while the train was going at the rate
of forty miles an hour between Ga
lena, Ills. and Apple River, early in
December, has been captured here by
Marshal w. O. Blunt. Steiner broke
Jail at Cherokee, I. T., and is wanted
at other places for various offenses. 1t
was while being taken to Cherokee
that he made his daring escape. Sheriff
Hall, of Cherokee, will come for the
prisoner. ":-

He Embraced Hi Opportunity.

Prairie du Sac, Wis, Feb. 9.-Fred-
erick Mockler, aged 80 years, was
found dead in his home at DenZen. His
wife is in Milwaukee and he hanged
himself during her absence. A few
days ago Mrs. Mockler left her home
and went to Milwaukee. No one was
seen about the place since then, and
it is believed that the old man killed
himself on the day his wife left him.
Thursday morning neighbors went to
the house and forced their way in and
found Mr.. Mockler hanging by halter
in a stairway.

USEFUL SNOW.
But For 1t Much of the Earth Would
BE Little Better Than a Desert.


BE Little Better Than n Desert.
If all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none Of it as snow, hundreds of thou
sands of square miles of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than q desert.
The tremendous economic gain for the
world ct large which results from the
difference between snow and rain is
seldom realized by the inhabitants of
fertile and we'll watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where IT.
rigation is prime necessity in agricul
ture that the special uses of the snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
high mountains and packing itself
| firmly into the ravines. Thus in ma
lures great icehouse a supply of mois-
ture is stored up for the following sum-
mer.

These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio.
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes a disagreeable. fea-
ture of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the SNOW is of great value
as fertilizer. Scientists. however. are
inclined to attach less Importance to it's

Four knOckOuts at Boxing.

Racine, Wis, Feb. S.-Four knock
outs were the features of the boxing
carnival at the Belle City Opera House
here last night, refereed by George
Siler. In the semi-windup Young
Mowatt disposed of Billy Kennedy, of
Pittsburg, in the third round. In the

The Spiders Thread.

The body OF every spider contains
four little masses pierced with multi
tude of holes. imperceptible to the ma
ked eye. each hole permitting the pas
sage Of a single thread. All the threads,
to the amount Of 1000 to each mass,
join together when they come out and
make the single thread with which the
spider spins it's web, so that what we
call a spiders thread consists Of more
than 1000 threads united.

The miracle of motherhood is
often oversliadowed by the misery
OF motherhood. The great functional
changes which are incident to child
bearing leave their mark for life on
many a mother. Some women offer
Tip their lives as a sacrifice oil the
altar of motherhood. A far greater
number live on in ceaseless misery.
Their strength fails, their beauty
fades, they have no ambition and no
enjoyment in life.
To every woman Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription offers escape
from the pains and perils of mother
hood. Taken during the period OF
waiting and anticipation this medi-
cine strengthens the body, rourishes
the nerves, and prepares the whole
womanly system for the coming
ordeal. The mind feels bright and
buoyant. There is no anxiety, no
dread, but in its place a happy an

which counts for the future happi-

than we found in the higher
