Mic, Turkish Customs.

1t is said by correspondent OF the
London Telegraph that the habits of
the Turkish ladies in Constantinople
are wonderfully fastidious. When they
wash their hands at tap from Whlch
water runs into a marble basin, they
let the water run till servant shuts it
off, as to do this themselves would
make them unclean. They cannot open
or shut a door, as the handle would be:
unclean. = : :,
One of these fastfdious ladies' was
talking to a small niece the other day.,
who had just received present OF "a
doll from Paris. By and by the child
laid the doll on the lady's lap. She
was Mortified, and ordered the child to
take it away.
AS the little girl would not move it,
and no servant was near, and the fddJ
would be defiled by touching doll that
had been brought from abroad, the only
thing she could think of was to jump
I'D and let the doll fall. 1t broke in
pieces.
The same lady will not open letter
coming by post, but servant opens
and holds it near for her to read. II
her handkerchief falls to the ground IL
is Immediately destroyed or given
away. so that she may not again use It.
Among the men this curious state OF
things does not exist.

Winter Poultry Yards.

When poultry are confined during the
winter they should have yard in
which to run on pleasant days, if no
scratching shed can be provided. A
good plan is to protect the yard on the
windy side by piling cornstalks high
against the fence. Then have heap
of coarse, strawy manure in the yard,
sufficiently large to keep the soil from
freezing hard. Cover as large space
as possible with this heap, or. better
still, have several such heaps, and pro-
tect them with boards, so that the
fowls cannot get at them and scratch.
Uncover one of these heaps at time,
and pile the material in another spot,
then spade up the soil where it lay. II
the pile was high enough the soil can
be easily loosened, and. except in very
cold sections, will not freeze hard again
in several days. A little grain thrown
on this spaded space will keep the
fowls busy and happy. An hour each
day when the sun is shining brightly in
spot like this will keep the fowls in
good shape, and they will turn out eggs
regularly.
