THE sULTAN's WORKSHOPS.
Where His Costly Presents for For.
eign Princes Are Made.

tlEn arc WuuCs
From the London Globe.
During my last visit to Constantinople,
l had the opportunity of making close
study of the Sultan's workshops. They are
situated OH the right hand of the en-
trance to the Yildiz Kiosk. and consist of
a mechanical workshop with a foundry,
jofner's shop wood carving and carpen-
try shops, and designing and modelling
room, which give employment to from
fifty to sixty workmen. The work turned
out in these workshops is exclusively for
the Imperial Palace, and in them are
made the costly presents which the Sui
tain is so fond of sending to foreign
princes. II is said that the Ruler OF
the Faithful" often lends hand in some
special piece Of work, but that Is not
quite true: the most that the Sultan does
is to improve a design which has been
made according to his suggestions, and
laid before him by the directors of the
workshops. The latter is no less a per-
son than the general Of division. and
he presents a very imposing figure with
his face full of energy and his long white
beard. With kindly smile from his
blue eyes his excellency received me with
great courtesy and personally conducted
me In my walk through the workshops.
His thoroughly friendly reception, his blue
eyes, and especially his absolutely perfect
French accent made me doubt his nation
atty in spite Of his Turkish name how
ever, / ventured to pay him a discreet
compliment upon his perfect French, and
the Pacha confessed to me with a smile
that he was not a Turk but Belgian.
He told me that he had been O captain I'm
the Belgian army, and that shortly before
the Qua break Of the Russo-Turkish war
he had left the Belgian service and en-
tered that Of Turkey He made rapid adj
vance In his new home, distinguished
himself in several battles. and finally was
appointed q general Of division and d.
rector of the Sultan's workshops. Highly

A Doctors Awful BIunder.
From Lesne's Weekly.

A case of human suffering with more
pitable and distressing features has not
appeared in public print in many a day
than that described in a newspaper dis
patch from Louisville KY, where a child
four years of age was slowly roasted TO
death through being wrapped in materials
which took fire, 1t is supposed, spontane-
ously. The little one had been previously
burned by its dress catching fire. but its
injuries from this cause were not severe
and it might easily have recovered. The
child was put In bed and the burns dust
ed with subnitrate of bismuth, then lin
seed oil was freely poured on. and the
parts wrapped in cotton batting and
sheet pinned around It snugly. and lastly.
a quilt was wrapped around this. Instruc-
tins were given not to remove the dress
ing. The child complained bitterly all
right long, the parents thinking that the
suffering was due to the original burn.
About daylight they saw smoke arising
from the bed, but, being very ignorant
people, thought it was the fire leaving
the burn" and did not remove the dress
ing until later when the child was dying.
Upon removing the dressing they found
that the inner side OF the sheet was
scorched, the cotton batting was burned
almost entirely up lover the abdomen)
and still smouldering. The child was
fhurned INTO the 1ntestlnes IN tnree places
and died in few minutes. 1t is difficult
not TO entertain feeling Of resentment
and Indignation against the physician IN
this case as the one chiefly responsible
for the awful torture 10 which this help
less little one was subjected. Surely
physician III TO practice the profession
must have known the large possibilities
for danger lying In such combination Of
materials as that in which this child was
Enclosed. The difficulty was not in the
ignorance OF the unfortunate parents, but
in the carelessness, or worse, OF the at
tending phvsician

STATE TEACHERS IN SESSION.

Prof. slaton Brings on Warm Dis
cussion of Uniform School Book
Question.
Warm Springs. Ga, June 25-Prof. Will
lam M. Slaton, .rrincipal OF the Boys
High School of Atlanta, precipitated a
warm discussion this morning at the very
outset of the thirty-ffth annual session
OF the Georgia Educational Association,
by his paper on state uniformity in text
books. He sharply attacked the bill in
PRODUCED by Senator Jernigan in, the Leg
lslature last ysar, which provided for the
creation of a state school-book commits
sion. which should provide a uniform Sc
ries OF textbooks for use in the public
schools of the state. Prof. Slaton said
that the bill was Objectionable on every
account and that it would set back the
public schools many years. He instanced
a list OF states in which such a law had
been pasesd and afterwards repealed
when It had been given thorough test.
Prof. Slaton went into the subject ex-
haustively and presented his arguments
with great force. When he had concluded,
E. A. Pound of Waycross offered a resolu-
ton indorsing Prof Slaton's views. A
ulsCuSSlon enSued. Many of the teachers
declared themselves in favor of a uniform
series of textbooks. The resolution was
finally referred to the Committee on
Resolutions which will report tomorrow
morning. 1t is believed that the teachers
will declare themselves opposed to uni
form textbooks
Over 100 prominent educators faced

lowing Prof. Slaton's paper, occupied the
greater part of the morning session. Pa
prs on the library movement were read
by W. c. Wright of Covington and Prof.
H. H. Stone of Oxford. G. G. Bond of
Athens read a paper on better supervis-
ion. The entire afternoon session was
devoted to informal department meetings.
School supervision, normal school, elc-
mentary school. manual training, music,
education, kindergarten education and
physical culture were the subjects dis
cussed. These informal meetings were

Augusta Celebrates the Beginning
of Her Carolina Electric Route.
Augusta, June 25.-There was a great
celebration on the Heights of North Au-
gusta to-day. 1t was the occasion of the
beginning of the work on the new cleo
trio road between Augusta and Aiken,
and a great concourse of people were out
to do honor to the event Besides large
attendance by Augustans, there were
many people present from New York
Philadelphia. Baltimore and points along
the route of the new line. This road will
be twenty miles, in length and will con-
meet Augusta with all of the adjacent
mill towns in South Carolina. It will
practically add 10000 people to the
commercial population of this city.
The road was projected and organized
by Mr.. James U. jackson, who was elect

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t would not be so pleasant to be the
ice man were all women like Mrs. Caro-
line A. Bley of the Cummings apartment
building Grand boulevard and Fifty-hrst
street. Mrs. Bley has discovered a way
to protect herself against short weight
How much does a cubic foot of ice
weigh anyhow" she asked.
=, The iceman was taken off his guard
about ffty-eight pounds" he replied
Then he went on to say that the weight
ran from fifty-six to sixty pounds. but
that fifty-eight pounds was a fair aver
age.
Mrs. Bley had learned enough. The
next day she accused the iceman of hav-
ing sold her forty-three pounds of ice for
fifty pounds. The man expostulated.
But you did," said Mrs. Bley. II meas
ured it
Then the woman produced a tape line
and set about measuring the cake that the
iceman was just taking from his wagon.
There was a quick calculation, in which
a pencil and paper figured
THAT piece weighs only forty-four
pounds" she said. Put it on the scales
and see.''
The ice was weighed. and the woman
was INDICATED. The driver gasped.
Mrs. Bley's system was simple. For in
stance, a cubic foot of ice is IL inches
wide, II inches in breadth and II inches
long. Multiply the dimensions and the re-
suit is LES. Then divide this sum by IS,
the weight of cubic foot of ice, and 30 is
arrived at. Thirty, therefore, was the
mystic number
In brief, measure the three sides of
your ice. multiply the number of inches
and then divide by thirty. The quotient is
the number of pounds that the cake of ice
weighs.
my fifty-pound cake of ice was short

for the $4,000 was willed not to Sam
Turner but to Sans son, Will. who was
named for his rich uncle. The inquiry
