MANY SPIES oF TAE SULTAN.

Turkey Growing Demoralized Under
the Present Vicious Syatem.
In no country and at no time of the
worlds history has the spy system been
developed to the point 1t has attained In
Turkey today. 1t is a most elaborate
organization and costs al immense
amount of money. There are spies and
counter-spies, and counter-counter-
spies to the fourth or fifth degree.
Their number is legion, and they are
to be found in all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest. Be
sides the minister of police, almost ev-
cry high dignitary has his own service
Of spies, says the London Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations, and
spend most of their time In spying and
denouncing each. other. All prominent
persons are closely watched, and fol-
lowed even while shopping, and should
they meet another person of note and
exchange few words, the fact is care
fully noted. Turks no longer dare as
semble In parties of five or six for the
purpose of spending their evenings to-
gether. 1t is impossible for three or
four Of them to sit down at table in
coffee house without having spy at
the next On such occasions they al
ways speak very loud, SO that every
body may hear them. Should Euro
pean converse with Turk in the
street, spy will follow them and try
to flnd out what they are saying.
The result of all this is that the
Turks avoid one another's company as
much us possible, and whenever they
do come together the conversation is
on the most futile subjects, and quite
childish. The Turkish nation is grow
ing more and more demoralized under
the present system.

men to dig up whole bitches of tile and

work In the right way would have
brought things out all right. A correct

lutely essential fer success in drainage.
Where soil Is of mucky nature, the
Illustration shows n good plan of filling
in around the inlet. This plan, how
ever, is not necessary where soil is
messy. About four or five feet of tile
should be covered with coarse gravel

face. so the plow will not strike the
stone. This will let the water off free

large stone should be placed at end of

The outlet should also be kept clean

that the vermin may be kept out. If
this is done and the tile properly laid.
