Several days ago five or six spar
rows were picking away in the gutter
Immediately in front of an engine
house downtown when a cat crept
across the street and pounced upon
one of them. Instantly the victims
companions sent up a war cry, which
was as instantly answered. From
housetop and tree the sparrows focked
to the cene, and with whirring. hiss
ing cries of noisy rage they fearlessly
attacked the offender.
For half Il minute the dazed cat en-
dured the blows from perhaps half Il
hundred tiny beaks and twice as many
wings. Then, still holding her prey.
she struggled away from the infuri-
ated little birds and ran into the en-
CINE house. The plucky little fellows
followed her inside, but soon gave up
the chase, leaving her with her dearly

The American Physical Type High


1t appears from the annual report of
the surgeon general of the United
States army hat the total number of
candidates examined for enlistment
was 45,21S and that of this number
about two-thirds, or 30,176, were ac-
cepted. This is a large proportion when
the fact is taken into account that the
standard of excellence required is very
high, one but physically perfect men
being accepted.
OF the 1928 applicants for enlist
ment AZ, 1873 were white men and 3.035
were colored men. OF the white men
81. 100 were accepted and of the colored
men 2,3S6.
Out of every 1000 men accepted
781.05 on the average were born in the
United States, 64.76 in British territory,
1925 in Germany and SO in Sweden
and Norway. OF Is American Indians
examined IA were enlisted as scouts.
1t is interesting to note that during the
year 736 native Malays were examined
for enlistment as Philippine scouts and
that of these all except 20 were accept
ed, showing a surprisingly high stand
ard of physique among the F%ilipinos.-

UNDER THE SULTAN.
The Way the Turkish Ruler Ro-
moves His Enemies.


Things get done in the sultan's
realms, things like the massacres of
1895 in Asiatic Turkey and of 1903 in
Macedonia, which come home to the
consciousness of every thinking Turk.
Take the case of the Kurdish Sheik
Obeidullah, who was a guest or the
sultan for a time in 1888 and was aft
erward sent to Mecca in order that
pious occupations might keep him out
of mischief. He died very soon after
his arrival of cholera, it was officially
announced, although he was the only
sufferer from cholera in Mecca that
year.
Take the case of Mithad Pasha, the
liberal prime minister and the cham
pion of parliamentary government. He
was tried for treason in aiding to de-
throne Sultan Abdul Aziz and was sent
to Taft, zeal Mecca. After a time he
died rather suddenly. By and by a
man who had been a soldier in Arabia
appeared in Constantinople babbling a
tale that ended with, II did not know
that it was Mithad Pasha or l would
not have put the soaped cord about his
neck" OF course the police saw that
the mar was crazy and put him where
he was safe from harm.
Take the case of Said Pasha, ex-
grand viZier, who fled to the British
embassy in Constantinople seven or
eight years ago, declaring that he
would be killed unless allowed asylum
and who could not be induced to leave
the building until the ambassador
brought him a formal promise of safe
ty sealed with the sultan's own seal.
Meditation upon this class of myster-
les makes people shake in their shoes
every time that they see one of the
great army of paid informers who
know everything. Men do not say that
the sultan does the things which cause
this t%repidation, but that the palace"
does them. They speak of the palace"
as though it were a sentient but inyisi-
BILE organism, and when they speak of
it they look behind them and take out
their handkerchiefs and wipe a clam
my sweat from their faces.-Henry
Thompson in Worlds Work.

FOR SWEET oHARITY

in a fashionable locality where, with a
wise air, she doles oil advice to foolish
women and takes in fat fees"
My dear, speaking of bogus church
work, you should be at the head of a
settlement in the slums to see sweet
charity worked for the social game"
"a nice opportunity for parvenus?"
"A nice opportunity for parvenus-a
nice opportunity for all sorts of people
who never had Il decent social circle Of
their own. They come to the settle
ment and proffer their services free of
charge for the suffering poor, and then,
my dear. they become acquainted with
the patronesses, and they graft, graft,
graft, graft! They spend every cent to
the best advantage too If they give
a dinner to the infant kindergarten
they invite dear Mrs. Fitzmillion, the
foundress and patron saint of the in
stitution. to preside, and how can she
refuse when so much is being done for
her little ones? The next day an ac-
count of the whole affair appears in the
newspapers, and Mrs. Socialclimber's
name is linked with that of her patron
eSs."
"And don't forget sweet charity for
a percentage" put in the business man.
THAT is the worst form of fakirism.
My dear woman, just imagine yourself
a busy man, %scribbling away in your
private office, when suddenly two la
dies are announced, and when they are
grudgingly admitted to your august
presence you find they are two stun
ming young girls-real ladies, mind you
beautifully and irreproachably gown
ed in the finest cloth and velvet. The
elder of the two begins, with a pretty,
difident blush, to solicit your subscrip-
ton for the Home For Siberian Or
phans With One Foot, let us say. They
both explain that they hate to go
around in this way with another pref
ty blush), that they are not used to it,
but the home is in such need The or
phans have no shoes or stockings, a
holiday is drawing nigh, and this seems
to be the only way to collect money
from the hard hearted merchants and
financiers who can well afford it. What
would you do if your little ones had
only one foot each and no shoes and
stockings? You thrust your hand has
tily into your pocket; you give them
So, $10-anything. How can you re
fuse such we'll bred, plainly embar-
raised girls who are Illus doing yio-
lence to their natural timidity for
sweet charity? And do the infants get
their shoes? Well, perhaps they do,
and perhaps they don't. but anyway
not until the percentage, and a large
one, has been deducted for the benefit
of the sweet, refined, shrinking ycung
creatures" MAUD ROBINSON.

A movement is on foot to mark the
historic spots in which the old town of
Barnstable. on Cape Cod. abounds. 1t
has been stated that this town contains
fully as much of historic interest as
Plymouth. and there are many I'M
marked localities that have been iden-
titled with stirring vents in the early
days of the colonies. The first court
house built in the county still stands
at the head of Rendezvous lane,
where the volunteers of the Revolution
first assembled. although the building
has been transformed into Il church.
In front of it is the little triangle where
the liberty pole stood and where the
troops were drilled. In this courthouse
was sounded the first note of revolt
against British rule, and it is proposed
to place inscribed tablets on these spots
and others equally interesting to COM
memorate and preserve the traditions
connected with them. Boston Tran

out missionaries to faraway India.
BY the exercise of a little hypocrisy
and mock piety she managed to be sent
out as nurse. She stayed owe there
four years and at the end of that time
