were the Pigeon Mosque, where there
are thousands of pigeons which make
| their homes in the court of the mosque
They are regarded as sacred birds, and
no one is allowed to modest them, and
to kill them is an otfense of the very
worst sort. To buy little grain and
feed them is to have good fortune ever
after. The writer fed them, as did also
many others who visited this mosque.
To write of all the mosques and obelisks
and bazaars and sarcophagi and mum
mics and ancient walls and aqueducts
we saw or to describe the richness and
grandeur Of the Sultans Treasure
House and Palace and gardens, would
require much time and space, so we
will not attempt it.
There are beautiful fountains through
out the city, also large cisterns,-one
of which has under it 1901 columns to
hold up its roof. There are thousands
OF dogs in the city-dogs everywhere,
and it is a crime to kill them. They
sleep on the sidewalks. in the streets.

of ships is all done by men who carry

RUSSIA BUYS
FOUR WARSHIPS

ST. PETERSBURG, April 30
/ :49 p. MN regard to the reported
purchase by Russia of four ships in the
United States, j. is now said that the
deal was negotiated at Constantinople
by General Williams, the agent of a
Philadelphia ship building firm. and
the Russian Ambassador to Turkey,
NJ Zincoff
The admiralty still lacks definite in
formation as to the cause of the Pet
ropavlovsk disaster. The authorities
at Port Arthur evidently are not yet
convinced that they have the true ex-
PLANTATION. The general staff here is
divided between two opinions. a mine
or boiler explosion. although few
still cling to the theory that the bat
tleship was sunk by submarine boat.
The boiler explosion theory Is based
on the knowledge that the Petropav
lovsk had been steaming at full speed
and that her sudden slow down may
sure which burst her boilers. Those
who accept the mine theory and they
are in the majority believe that the
explosion of the mine detonated the
magazine which blew up before the
boilers. The main objection advanced
against the mine idea is that the wat
er where the catastrophe occurred is
too deep for anchored mines.
Il can scarcely imagine that Vice
Admiral Toga would dare to turn loose
"a lot of floating mines" said one of
the highest naval authorities. THE
tides are high and the currents strong
at Port Arthur and floating mines
might easily cut to sea and eudange er
his own ships. "

A SAFE DIET RULE.
Ear the SmnIlent AmOWnt of FOSG
That VIII Preserve Health.


How shall one determine how much
food to eat? Too much mystery has
been thrown about this subject. Let
your sensations decide II must be kept
in mind that the entire function of di-
gestion and assimilation ia carried on
without conscious supervision or con-
currence 1t should be entirely unfelt
| and unknown, excepting by the feeling
| of bien etre which accompanies and
follows its normal accomplishment.
Safety Is bad. 1t implies a sensation
of fullness in the region Of the stom-
ach, and that means that too much
food has been taken. The exact cor
respondence in a healthy animal be-
tween the appetite and the amount Of
food required Is extraordinary. An a
rule, the meal, unless eaten very slow
ly, should cease before the appetite is
entirely satisfied, because a little time
Is required for the outlying organs and
tissues to feel the effects Of The food
that has been ingested. IL too little has
been taken, it is easy enough to make
1t up at the next meal, and the appe-
tite will be only the better and the food
more grateful.
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
lions every day repent having eaten too
much. 1t has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this-that whereas physicians had
been in the habit OF giving the patient
the largest dose he could stand, they
have been led to see that their purpose
was better subseryed by giving him
the smallest dose that would produce
the desired effect. And so it is with
food. Inste&h Of eating, as most peo-
pie unfortunately do, as much as they
can, they should eat the smallest
amount that will keep them in good
health.-ROger S. Tracy in Century.

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.
Tho Has Her Trials and Sorrows, bat

2he Has Her Trials and SORROWS, bat
Also Her Reward.
The minister's wife exercises the
craftsmanship necessary to maintain a
well ordered and cultured home on q
small income-a home constantly un-
der inspection by the whole parish.
She sets a fashion in becoming dress
which tones up the taste OF many OF
her parishioners whose husbands in
comes are two or three times as large
as the minister's salary. She is the
pastor and the actual head of the too
numerous women's and children's or
ganizations in the church, and she man
ages to keep most OF the jealousies of
their leaders from coming to the sur
face. She listens sympathetically to
the condolences Of the young women of
the congregation, and the small wed
ding fees which occasionally fall into
her lap are meager wages for all the
time and thought she has given and
the teas she has served to bring about
these weddings-services which her
neighbors may laugh at, but which are
the most delicate and valuable of all
ministries when they issue in happy
homes
She knows the pains, the joys and
the sorrows of motherhood, and she has
strengthened the courage of many q
shrinking wife faltering on the thresh-
old Of an unknown realm. When she
has closed the eyes of the darling of
her heart in the last sleep she goes
out to cheer weary watchers by sick
beds and TO give her silent sympathy
to mourners who will not be comfort
ed. She holds her queenly way in pow
erty, trial and not seldom under un-
kind and unjust criticism. and as she
grows older light radiates from her
patient face which moves discerning
friends who otherwise would pity her
to say, verify, she has her reward!'-
