SOCIAL CONVERSATION.

Too often a reception degenerates

perspiring humanity, huddled like the

corning the state of the roads. There
is under all this-like the blind push
of the Aryans toward the west-the
surge of the company toward the re-
freshment table. Here await sip OF
some beverage and a nibble of some
dainty, not answering for meal; but
yet, as Emerson complained, enough
to set all the machinery of the stomach
at work to no advantage. The recep-
ton is for conversation and yet no one
can properly converse. If by chance
one should find a congenial spirit and
drift into ripple of sincere talk, the
anxious hostess soon appears to tear

A nervous man went to celebrated

thing suggested, however, he had OBJ

It had failed, or he had no faith in med

drastic measures and met with the

man abruptly:

your COW, throw your arms around

TURKISH FIGHTING MAN.
His Poiuts Thoroughly Discussed by
Those Who Know Him.

The fighting quality OF the Turkish
soldier is the subject Of an elaborate
article in the Boston Transcript, from
which the following facts are CLEANED:
The Turkish military force is com
posed of regulars, reserves and irreg-
ulars. The regular is a modern
soldier. His uniform plain blue
tunic, blue trousers, tucked boot tops
and red fez-is kept spotlessly neat
The canvas knapsack is "blindingly
white" His Mauser repeater slopes
over his shoulder at precisely "the
right angle" The drill of the regular
is strict and the discipline absolute. "
The reserves have no top boots, but
wear sandals. They have little mill

G. W. Stevens, who was vita the
Turkish army in the late war with
Greece. says of the reserves:
They seemed casual and careless,
but then they were OF unending
patience These were short
rather squat, bearded reserves from
Asia Minor; they were slow and heavy
and had lost the snap of youth. =
but they were inexhaustably strong:

GOOD BREAD FROM IOWA.

My summer vacation was spent on

the model farmhouse was also the

Do this about supper time. In the

slightly soured milk, drain off the

sponge. Add also a level tablespoon OF
salt, and a heaping tablespoon OF lard.
The whey of course must be cooled 10

bulk, cut down, and when it has risen,
again divide into five parts, mold four
parts into loaves and one into biscuits,
brushing the later all over with melted
butter; when doubled in bulk bake, the
bread requiring about fifty minutes
and the biscuits twenty-five minutes
in a properly heated oven.

The Desire for Truth.

The desire on the part of civilized
man for truth, if it be only the truth
of material fact, is constantly becom-
ing more marked. Its most conspicu-
Gus manifestation is the great pop
ularity of the sciences and the pro-
gre8s made in their cultivation. We
want to know things as they really
are; we are no longer satisfied with
fables and legends, and with the
irresponsible vagaries of dreamers;
we have comprehended that the truth
about ourselves, and about the uni
verse which we inhabit, is far more
wonderful and absorbing than any
fairy tale; and, moreover that sound
knowledge of such truth is productive
of practical good and power in the
conduct of our lives. Whoever pro-
fesses to tell us truth commands our
attention; and if his story is proved
trustworthy, he rules to that extent
the kingdom of our minds.-Julian
Hawthorne.

This would advance Berlin at once to
