Go-e part of the night. We roar our
selves to sleep. The process is very
gradual. Early infancy and senile old

a hot pace till midnight, then slowly
the pulse begins to grow feeble. By
one nearly all honest folk are in bed,
leaving the city to FOUNDERS. Cars run
at long intervals. Now and then a car
riage gives a flutter. Imagine 1900, 00O
persons lying on the dead level for

MODERN ANTIQUITIES.
Systematic FOrgeries Practiced in

The quest for things antique has led

the part of dealers. Paris is the great
center of this deceitful industry, says
the Nation. There has been discov-
cred in the suburbs a thriving factory
for the fabrication of Egyptian num-
mics, cases and all. These are shipped
to Egypt, and in due time return as
properly Anticipated discoveries.

Ahese photographs he aroused the in

secretary to Venice to make sure
that the photographs did not lie, and
on his favorable report, bought the
thing for $1,000 francs. On the arrival
of the article at his house in Paris he
sent for some workmen to open the
cases. One of them appeared to go
about the work rather carelessly, and
he demonstrated with the man, who
answered: Have no fear, sir. l know

.apRAININe THE zuYDER ZEE.

The Dutch propose to reclaim the whole of the zuyder Zee from the grasp of the ocean. It IS 2. vast, a daring, pro- ject, the most picturesque engineering enterprise known to the world to-day. An isthmian canal may cost more mon ey; but an isthmian canal is, after all, only great ditch. While other nations are seeking colonial expansion the Dutch propose to create hinterland at home. They propose to proclaim from the waters a area equal to one-four- teenth of all the present Holland. They propose to add nearly one-tenth to the area of cultivable land in their country. They propose to find new homes, where now the sea rages, for a population equal to four per cent. of all the inhab- itants of the Netherlands. In the Uni ted States an enterprise of relative pro- portions would involve the creation of g new state like Missouri or Texas, the reclamation of land enough for more than three millions of people to live upon and thrive by agriculture.

THE TURKS UNMENTIONABLE LE WIVES.

Although of late years, among Turks highly placed, it has come to be consid- cred as far more chic to have only one wife, yet this laudable increase in the practice of monogan1y does not tend to a complete emancipation from certain we'll established Moslem traditions. The mention of ones wife to foreigner is nowadays made the easier when one may truthfully speak of her in the sin gular number. A Turk may, after some months of semi-intimacy, talk some what freely, indeed, of his domestic life, provided always his household is mod elIed after the European plan of life. The social line is drawn at the point of asking even a lady to call. Frequent visiting between European and Turkish wives, when these are in the singular number, is possible only after some what prolonged residence and much friendly intercourse.
 To the casual visitor there is an un- expected embarrassment in finding al- most all the Turks one meets in society married to one wife only. The singular ity of this singleness is as trying, appa- rently, to the Turk, on certain occasions, as it is eminently disappointing to the European.-Anna Bowman Dodd in the Century. @... >- ....

PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT.

If there is one subject upon which congress might be expected to act with promptness and unanimity 1t is the pro- tection of the head of the nation from the peculiar dangers involved in his of flee. It is not in any sense a personal or partisan matter. Presidents do not serve for life nor are they drawn exclu- sively from one party. Nor is there a
 question as to the reality of the danger. Three presidents have been assassina- ted within a generation, and the lives of all have been threatened at one time or another. It was Jackson who pro- posed to administer, with his own hand, punishment to an assailant, and proba- bly, MT. Roosevelt, who has lived among rough men in his day, is better able than most of us to take care of himself in ordinary circumstances. But there Is a broad distinction between private citizen and the head of a nation; and the fact that in the United States a president and not king is concerned, though 1t is used as an argument by those who ought to know better, does not in the, slightest degree obliterate that distinction. The attempted murder Is either the act of & madman or the
