I whether they should be classed with Che , Aryan or the Semitic races. The general supposition is that they sprang from the same source sas the Huns and the Tar tars.
 European travellers the Turk treats with utmost disdain or else with a servility in- l tended only for the moment until the | travellers pockets have been craftily emp
 tied. Then the Turk retires with the con seriousness of having performed his duty to his less enlightened brother, as he l styles him. and says his prayer to Allah
 without ado. The Chritian plucked, a deed Is nobly done.
 Much as has been said about tho beauty
 of the Turkish woman 1t must be said
 that the ideal of the Orient is not that of Europe or America. As the Japanese see beauty in slenderness, so the Turk finds his tastes in the women of the fishy
 type. True enough there are many beau- ties who would find favor in American
 eyes in the haroms. These mostly, how
 ever are slave girls from Persia or9o of Circassian blood. " H v
 It is difficult to define the beauty of the Turkish woman-a fine face two black
 eyes, a crimson mouth and an expression nt sweetness-such Is the general type. Almost all of them, however, are painted. They whiten their faces with almond and Jasmine paste, they lengthen and darken 1 their eyebrows with Indian ink, they tint
 their eyelids they powder their threats,
 they put a dark circle around their eyes
 and they wear patches on their cheeks But they do it all with rare taste. Nearly
 all have a common defect of a slight stoop. and twaddle something like that Of
 A big baby suddenly grown up, which comes from a weariness of limb caused by an abuse of the bath, and also from their
 awkward, nl-itting slippers. But even
 with this ugly walking there is girllsh
 air that is not displeasing.
 Intellectually the average Turkish wo-
 man is of a low degree. Her mind is continually turned to her physical charms. Knowing that her husband has other
 wives. she must ever be alert to keep | herself beautiful to retain his favor. Con- sequently she practices arts and deceits for aiding her beauty, which in time have | far different effects.
 Such are the people of the Fez and of Allah. the Prophet. Marked by racial
 characteristics which the inhabitants of no other nation have, a veritable remnant
 with flaw modern embellishments of the
 days of three centuries ago, the gap be- | tween the unspeakable Turk and Chris | tian nations of the world Is rapidly wlden- | ing. How soon vii 1.-the Turk tumble into

 the question. The present Macedonian
 revolution may yet soon answer the ques- | ton.

Treasure Trove Law in England.

All the Year Round.
 In England treasure trove belongs to tho crown. According to the law. if any one finds hidden treasure and conceals 1t for his own use he Is liable to fine and Im- prisonment. It used to be a hanging mat ter. However. 1t may be some encour- agment to English treasure seekers, if any such there be in these enlightened days. to know that the laws of treasure trove only apply to such as is discovered by accident.

THE CHANGES OF HISTORY.

Napoleon's Coup d'Etat Compared
With That in Servia.
An English writer says: ut is now
stated that the number of those who
have fallen victims to the coup d'etat'
at Belgrade is fifty-four. The massa"
ere has aroused the disgust and indig
nation Of all Europe, which cannot
find a parallel for such a butchery in
modern annals, but the world would
appear to have forgotten Louis Nc
poleons coup d'etat of Dec. 2, by
which he extinguished in blood the
French republic and raised himself to
what was practically the imperial
throne. On that occasion the usurper
scrupled not to deluge Paris with the
blood of it's citizens, hundreds of whom
lost their lives, so that, as far as
murderous results were concerned, the
crime Of Napoleon the Little was
even more flagitious and unjustiiable
than that of the conspirators who have
now, abolished the Obrenovitch dynas-
ty. Yet within five years Queen Vic
toria, on the steps Of Windsor castle;
presented her cheek to the perpetrator
of the coup d'etat." ...t

A Winters Night.


Heigh-ho! for q winters night,
And how do dead men sleep?
They SILVER not when the keen frosts
No winters make them weep.
They hear no moan of the weary earth
Thereon a Greamless bed,
The while l bend Ger a fameless hearth
And MUNICH at crust of bread.
Far from the wrath and wrongs of Life,
Meath the wings O. the dark they rest,
While I am lost in the raging strife,
With the red wounds on my breast.
For dead mans neither rich nor poor,
Under the light and rain;
The blast and the bailiff at his door
Knock and knock in vain.
And the gods may grant, or the gods deny
Gifts where the homeless roam;
But he recks not there If the daisies die,
Or f1eck his grave like foam.
But-better crust this winter night
From the wealth O. the world apart,
With the memory bright Of your eyes OF
light
And the life of your lips, sweetheart!

WISDOM OF THE BEE.
Legent Of the Visit Of the Queen OF

"
Sheba to King Solomon.
"Here is the legend of the visit of
the Queen of Sheba 40 King Solo

in the Rotunda of the Great Southern
hotel, Gulport, Sunday. The queen
reigned over people that lived on
the border of the Red Sea, who were
the. richest in Arabia. They were rep
resented leading an idle life, owing to
the abundance of natural produce OF
their country, which afforded the sus
tenance of life and also frankincense

gave them an extensive commerce

reputation at King Solomon, whose
power and wisdom had spread to the
remotest parts of the world, visited
him at his own court. Presenting her
self at the foot of his throne, in each.
Of her hands she held wreath OF
f1owers-one composed of natural,
the other Of artificial. Art, in the
labor of the mimic wreath, had ex~
Guisitely emulated the lively hues OF
nature; so that at the distance it was
held by the queen to exercise the sa'
gacity of the monarch for his judg'
ment, it was deemed impossible for
him to decide which wreath was the
production of nature, and which the
work of art. Solomon was, for mo-
ment, perplexed; yet, to be vanquish'
ed by a woman irritated his pride.
"An expedient presented itself to
the king by a swarm of bees on the
outside of window, which he order
ed opened; the bees rushed in the
court and alighted on one of the
wreaths, while not a single one fixed
on the other. Sheba was baf1ed and
was convinced of the wisdom of Solo
mon. Such is the story handed down
that the bee only rests on the natural
beauties, and never fixes on the paint
ed flowers, however inimitable the
color may be laid on."-New Orleans
