April 10 is the great fete day of "Ba-
lukli," or place OF fishes. This is a
small church situated outside the walls
of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest Of Constantlnople by the Turks.
at the time of the invasion, however, n
monk was cooking some fish there
when a messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered Constanti-
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for Its healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to sour Lady of the
Fishes" and on this day a regular pill
grimage takes place from NIL parts Of
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
err, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth of the story is proved
by the presence in large marble lined
tank in the church of the lineal de-
scendants of the half cooked fish. Any
one who does not believe has only to
look in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their ease.

1t is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead Of sitting up with his
large, fiat, ribbed tail protruding be-
hind him, he tucked it forward between
his hind legs and sat upon it. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands at the same
time. There We're many places, how,
ever, that could not be reached in this
way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, SO he combed these
otherwise inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per-
formed with the utmost elaboration
and care and occupied more than a
quarter of an hour so that by the time
it was completed daylight had almost
vanished.
Ny presence did not appear to dis
turb him in the least, though I sat on
the ground within three feet of him
that might the better note his various
attitudes, for 1t is not often one has
an opportunity of watching beaver at
such close range.-Everybody's Maya

The Military salute.

All salutes, from taking off the hat
to presenting arms, originally implied
respect or submission. OF military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand to the
head is generally believed to have orig
mated from the days of the tourna-
ment, when the knights filed past the
throne of the queen Of beauty and, by
way of compliment, raised their hands
to their brows to imply that her beau
ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes
to gaze upon.
The officers salute with the sword
has double meaning. The first posi-
ton, with the hilt opposite the lips,
is repetition of the crusaders action
in kissing the cross hilt of his sword
in token of faith and fealty, while low
ering the point afterward implies Ell
ther submission or friendship, meaning
in either. case that it is no longer nee
essary to stand on guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been ex-
planned as sign that the weapohed
hand is empty and in an inoffensiye po-
sition, but this reason does not seem
SO convincing as the others.

Not long ago visited the town of
Novara, in northern Italy. There in a
whcatfeld the farmers have plowed
up skulls of men until they have piled
up pyramid 10 or IL feet high. Over
this pyramid some one has built can
opy to keep off the rain. These were
the skulls of young men of Savoy, Sar-
DINA and Austria-men of is to 80
years of age, peasants from the farms
and workmen from the shops-who
met at Novara to kill each other over
a matter In which they had very little
concern.

Pot walloper.

The parliamentary register for 1896
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper in all England. One see
ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that pot walloper was
a species Of ichthy osaurus or some 9TH
er reptile Of past age. 1t will be dis
covered upon inquiry, however, that
the term pot walloper' is literally one
who boils a pot and was applied to vot-
ers In certain boroughs of England
where, before the passage Of the re-
form bill of 1882, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled (walloped)
his own pot in the parish for six
months.

Sen Bathing.

A person can easily determine with
one Indulgence whether or not open
air bathing is hurtful to him. If cir
culation is speedily restored after he
has left the water, IL his skin is well
Redeemed and he is soon well warmed
up and as strong and lively" as when
he took his first plunge. then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. If, on the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for 10
or 20 minutes, notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for
an hour or more afterward he is weak,
dull and languid. then he may be toler-
ably certain that there is something
wrong with him which forbids cold
bathing.

Women of the Gilbert islands being
merely regarded as cattle or any other
property, writes Arthur Inkersley in,
The Overland Monthly, the matrimoni-
al knot is easily tied and just as easily
united. If a man fancies a girl, he
seizes her by the hair of the head,
wherever she may be, despite her pro-
testations, and drags her away to his
home. Her resistance is not often seri-
Gus, the pretense of refusal being due
to the coquettishness inherent in the
sex. When the couple reach the house
of the groom, wedding feast is fur
nished forthwith, to which all the Inn
mediate friends of the bride and bride
groom are invited. But an acceptance
of the invitation implies the contribu-
ton of some viands to the entertain
ment. Matrimony is attended by no
further ceremony than this. When a
husband grows weary of his wife, he
simply orders her to leave him, and If
she does not he turns her out Of doors.

From four to five thousand people
were entertained in Earlville on Friday
at our fourth annual carnival. The
first attraction of the day was very
excellent parade, in which the mer-
chants and business houses of the town
were represented by imposing floats of
different kinds. The Delhi Concert
Band furnished the music for the oc-
casion. In the afternoon program
was presented in the grove, Rev. Du-
Bra, of Epworth Seminary, delivering
the address. The most exciting feature
of the day was ball game between
Oelwein and Earlville. No runs were
made by either side until the fourth in
ming when Oelwein by succession of
we'll placed hits scored seven runs, and
most people thought the game was lost
to Oelwein, but such was not the case for
Earlville rallied in the seventh inning
and several hits coupled with Oelwein's
costly errors gave Earlville eleven runs
and the game. Earlville scored four
more in the eighth, Oelwein being unable
to find Roche successfully, except in
the fourth inning. The final score was
Earlville 10, Oelwein Z. Earlville had
been strengthened by Roche, of Chicago,
and Kolar and Luke, while Oelwein's
team had been strengthened materially.
