QUEER WAYS OF THE TURK.
He Reads Your Mail and Taboos Tele-
phones and Electricity.

phones and Electricity.
The Turk suspects everybody AND
everything and no private act, no Sc
clusion, is safe from his intrusion
Every telegram sent from the public
offices is at once reported to the au-
thorities. No one can safely send a
letter by the Turkish post unless he is
willing to have it opened and read and
take the chances Of having it confis-
Gated if the censor finds anything that
can be twisted into an insult to Mo-
hammedanism.
AS a result Of this condition and the
inability of foreigners residing In Iur-
kew to communicate with any certainty
with their friends, some Of the great
European nations have established
postoffices of their own in Turkish
cities, iii which they employ only Eu-
ropeans, use their own stamps and
watch their mailbags until they pass
beyond the prying eyes Of the Turks.
In Salonica there are no fewer than
five postoffices- British, Austrian,
French, Servian and Turkish; in Con
stantinople six If one wishes to be
sure of his mail he must inquire at
four of them at least, and if he really
wants to have his letters reach their
destination he must send them through
some postoffice other than Turkish.
For the reason that the authorities
cannot be sure Of complete knowl-
edge of all the conversation that might
pass the telephone has been excluded

TO HOLD PHILIPPINES.
Prof. Paul Reinsch, Political Economist,
Says America Must Care for
the Islanders.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 26.-In a lengthy
argument before the congress of arts and
sciences at the Worlds fair Prof. Paul
Reinsch of the University Of Wisconsin,
authority on political economy, made a
strong plea for the retention of the Philip
pines by the United States.
I'VE should not attempt to bestow on
backward races the blessings of civiliza-
tion,' he declared. They cannot uFsar-
stand these blessings which might p.-ttve
Il deadly poison in the form in which they
were offered.
I'VE must work in alliance with the
natural laws of development and battle
against eXploitative tendencies that would
carry the world back into another age Of
barbarism more cruel and more difficult
to overcome than any that has gone be-
fore.
This should constitute the civilizing
colonial policy"

The Marketable HOG.

Hogs to be marketable at the high
est prices must be largely Of a uniform
type or at least the types must APP
proach in uniformity. The buyers in
the great markets Of the country carry
IN their minds eye the style Of the
hog they think will make the most sal
able pork. The tendency to gravitate
toward one type is, therefore, marked.
The buyer is inclined to be arbitrary.
He cannot tell why he prefers a GER
tain type, but sticks to it that that
type is the kind he wants. This varies
also in different markets, both at home
and abroad. The English buyer who
has been buying bacon hogs for many
years has in his mind a very different
type from the type Of the man that in
the Chicago market has been buying
lard hogs all his life. This variable
type the raiser of hogs has to consider
and it both hinders and helps him in
improving his herd. It helps him in
Improving his herd. It helps him while
his animals are far below that type.
but it hinders him as soon as he has
reached the type Of hog in the mind
of the buyer, for he cannot progress
beyond it except at loss to himself.
This fact has been the greatest obsta-
Gle in the improving Of the bone and
stamina Of hogs raised in the corn belt.
