TURKISH BATHS IN TURKEY.

Perhaps They are Genuine, But They
 are Not Agreeable. ~-.-
 About the first real craving that strikes the unsophisticated American or Englishman upon his arrival ill Damas- GUS is the desire for a Turkish bath right on the spot where the famous bath was originated said traveller. His next decision is that a New York or a London Turkish bath is about as far ahead of the Damascus article as moth- CTS pies beat the bakers. In view 0 the eastern origin of these baths nat urally expected to find something of a luxury. -..4.@s.
 Entering one of the finest baths in the city, was at first much pleased with the general appearance of things Dog of a Christian that was, en- tered large open court, in the center of which gushed a splendid fountain, while the scene all about was at first impression one of an Oriental fairyland. All around the fountain on raised plat forms were combination chair-courche upon which Orientals were lolling as only Orientals can. Some were reclin-. ing, some mapping, some slipping coffee, some smoking the narghileh. some chat ting, and one. was going through the .red-tape contortions required by Allah when the ninety-nine Moslem prayers are offered. "
 As if tocarry out the fairyland idea. instead of being conducted to a private room, in conformity with the views of pfopriety of the, western dog of an un- believed, was expected to disrobe be- fore the miscellaneous audience; also, before the audience in the street when ever the door was opened. My clothes I had to store in a drawer under my couch. The publicity of the disrobing act was modified somewhat, however. by the attendants, who, by the use of towels, formed temporary screen. After this they gave me wooden sar- dals with high strips fastened to the soles, which converted them into a sort of high stilt. I saw no use for this contrivance excepting to further the chances of breaking my neck With these stilts on was taken to the hot roorn,' where there was a temperature not higher than that of New York city

GoING TO cAhADA.

Folks are going to Canada. and no mistake. In the. year ending June 90, 1sOS. s1, ,OO2 homestead entries were re- corded in the Canadian Northwest. or more than double the number Of the previous year. when the list showed 14,2S9. The month of June itself show ed no fewer than 6,644 entries. as compared with 3.s4s for the correspond ing month of the previous year. In the last two years there has been very steady upbuilding of the population in the Canadian Northwest, movement that has been encouraged by both the government and the railroads.
 It is evident that Canada is going to interfere some with our profitable job of feeding the world which the polit- icaI orators have for many years as- =sured us could not be interfered with. She will have an enormous amount of food products to sell when her good land is under cultivation.

PROGRESS IN BARRYMORE.

Something is happening in Baltimore which might we'll be happening in other places There is a municipal play ground in Baltimore, and the boys who use 1t have been given an opportunity to devote some of their play time to learning to cook. There was a festival at the playground the other day in hon or of which boys made excellent apricot pie, fried tomatoes, made corn fritters, and then, when the cooking was over and the victuaIs eaten, cleared the ta- bles and washed the dishes. These young cooks are volunteers, all the X playground work" being optional. The lessons in cooking include the making of bread and biscuit, tea and coffee, and the preparation of meats and vegeta- bles. >is
 This is encouraging, and especially so when it is considered that many of the girls nowadays rather look down on cooking, and feel that they have high Ter mission than they think cooking is. Somebody must cook, and the boys might as well learn how. The best cooks are men, and most men could make fair cooks if they were properly taught. 35

Many wise words concerning mob rule have been said lately, but none wiser or more impressive than those spoken by Justice John Woodward, of the Su- preme court of New York, at Chautau- qua. Each of us, he pointed out, upon entering the body polite, takes upon himself the obligations of this covenant ito protect every man in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-

 which shall be equal in their scope and
 impartial in their administration, and
 we violate this covenant, both in letter
 and in spirit, whenever we permit any
 individual, no matter how humble or how guilty of offences against society,
 to be deprived of his rights without
 that due process of law which is the
 heritage of every man born in this re- public. The moment we admit the right
 of mob to administer punishment or
 to adjust controversies under any cir
 cumstances we eoncede the failure of
 government by law, We acknowledge
 our lack of capacity for self-govern-
 ment, and we have started upon the highway which has led other nations
 down to melancholy tragedies and to military usurpations. When this great mutual covenant is broken, when the
 parties to this high contract stand in- different, or participate red-handed in the crime of taking the life, the liberty or the property of fellow-covenanter, without reference to the law of the land, lthere is an end of the security for which
