Last Visit to Circus.

down, with my head just over the edge
OF the coal shed, looking over the heads

Country Cousins Do Not Figure.

Turks have no family names, writes
General George 3. Williams, In the
New York Telegraph. For example:
A man named Mohammed has son
named Ahmed and daughter named
Sophia. The son will always be
known merely as Ahmed and the
daughter merely as Sophia, in the lat
ter case even after marriage. The re-
suit is that members of families after
one or two generations become lost to
each other. In fact, the SISTERS and the
cousins and the aunts'i business Is not
much exploited in Turkey. One may
be talking to two brothers or two sis
tiers without the fact being made
known. There being no family ties
no aristocracy. The grand vizier or
to-day may have been a camel driver
or a servant. His rise is not due to
any family influence or connection.

Nails in Shoes Cause Explosion.

Workmen in American gunpowder
factories are not allowed to wear steel
or iron nailed shoes for fear the posi-
bic friction may cause an explosion,
but this precaution does not seem to
be followed in certain factories abroad.
A report on recent explosion in q
gunpowder factory In Chilworth, Eng
land, shows that it was due to one of
the outside workmen, who was carry
ing barrel of powder to the corning
house, slipping on the track of the
hand railway. He wore hobnailed
shoes, and contact with the rails caused
spark, which ignited some powder
which had fallen from the barrel. The
result was the death of six men and
the injuring of one other.

Spanish Stoves.

In many parts of Spain the stove
in general use is made from an empty
petroleum oil can, by cutting a hole
near the bottom on one of the sides to
make draft, the can being lined with
gypsum to the pleasure of the con-
structor, giving the fire space accord
ingly. The stove thus made, primitive
as it is in its appearance, is effective
in purpose and costs the equivalent of
but te@ cents Of our money.
