How the Turk Holds On.

The Turkish empire has been greatly
pared down in the last century. but still
the Turks seem rooted in Constan tino-
pie. The explanation of this awkward
fact is in a measure diplomatic and in a
measure racial. II European diplomacy
is paralyzed by j%ealousies the Turks'are
a strong people. ~Pressed'into a corner,
they fight with a skill and a fury which
recalls the achievements of their an
cestors. They are a serious, earnest
race among peoples whose convictions
are not strong and mainly op%portune.
The Turks feel their religion so deeply
that they are willing to die for it. A
people who in this age are capable of
that sacrifice must be put out of Europe
by superior force. Superior argument
Will no do it.-Boston Transcript.

~ZAPOTECAN WEDDING
PICTURESQUE CEREMONIAL OF
TEHUANTEPEC INDIANS.
The "Fiesta' Is an Affair of Real
Beauty-Brass Band a Fea-
ture OF the Pro-
cession.

The Indians of the Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec are a race apart. Ethnologists
say that the beauty of the women of the
Zapotecan race, the principal people or
the isthmus. is excelled only by the
women of the Samoan islands of the Pa
cifc. says Modern Mexico.
The principal ornament Of a we'll
dressed Zapotecan, aside from her
rings of various sorts, is her
necklace of American gold coins,
Nothing but American gold is
ever used. British sovereigns, French,
German and even the present small
percentage of Mexican gold coins
are all disdained. and American gold is
bought at a high premium in order that
it may adorn the necks of the bellies OF
the isthmian metropolis.
These coins are fastened together
with gold wires and chains, making a
very snowy if not beautiful ornament.
Every centavo a woman can save goes
into her store against the time when she
can buy another coin to add to her neck
lace. Half eagles and double eagles are
fastened together in this gorgeous
chain. and the value of the decoration
ranges all the way from a single half
eagle, suspended on a chain, to the great
cape of golden coins which belongs to a
famous Tehuantepec heiress and is
valued at about s 5000 gold.
The strangest anomaly, to civilized
eyes. of all this finery and the money
that is invested in it lies in the fact that
not one of the true Zapotecan women
will wear shoes. The foreign footwear
is a species of invasion and uncleanli-
ness that they will not endure. The re-
straint and the undeniable unhealthi-
ness of shoes in a tropic country have
all their share of blame, but n can
not but think that it is most the ancient
custom that has come down from long
ago that keeps them from 1t. The
Z%apotecans are the %cleanest people in
the world, as a race, and the long lines
of bathers on each bank Of every stream
of the isthmus of T~ehuantepec, from
early dawn until nightfall, attests the
fact of their irreproachable cleanliness.
A Zapotecan wedding fiesta is a thing
of real beauty. The queer, low, hot
country churches are the scene of the
religious ceremony. After the wedding
the remarkable brass band, of which
every wedding fiesta must boast at least
one, heads the procession, and in their
white muslin suits, barefooted and be-
hatted with rough sombreros, the band
men form their rough ranks and lead
the wedding procession of bedollared
women and men in alpaca coats and big
silver and gold embroidered sombreros
through the narrow, dusty streets o fthe
city.
The procession makes its way to the

Enqland's SeIf-Made Men.

England, long disparaged by Ameri-
can boasters. particularly by those
American boasters who think America
the only land Of unlimited opportun.
ity, Is beginning to count up her self
made men. Says the st. James's
Gazette: We hear so much of Ameri-
can captains of industry, of John D.
Rockefeller, the farm laborer's son:
of Edison, the newspaper boy; of
Yerkes, the youthful soap jobber, that
we are apt to forget British giants of
perseverance. Livingstone worked as
a factory hand until twenty five the
man who sought and found him in the
wilds was born in working house.
The great firm of w. H. Smith &
Sons was begun by two brothers so
poor that the wife of one had to go
into domestic service. The house Of
Tangye began in little workshop,
whose rent was bat As. week; that
OF Lever Brothers had a scarcely
more pretentious start at Bolton. A
coffee stall on London curb was the
fount and origin of Pearce e. Plenty:
500 once formed the total capital Of
the universal Whitoley. Bass's
brewery was founded by a carrier;
the Elder Dempster Line of stear er3
by ships apprentice, now Sir Alfred
Jones. The inventor of Bessener
steel was once a poor, almost starving
boy in London, the poorer for having
devoted mis- labor to au invention Of
whose profits the government robbed
him. So one might go on throughout
the whole range of our industries. It
is the sergeant and the plain constable
OF life's affairs who have made this
nation industrially great. and carried
its flag and fame to the ends of the
earth.

miles along the sea-" said the poet
laureate Of all the Pascagoulas yester-
day at the Cosmopolitan ut is n
populous country. we'll supplied with
large villages, and there are SO many
small ones that they are not above
gunshot from one another. The
houses are small, round at the top,
and encompassed with mud walls or
hedges, together with a great number
of all sorts of beautiful and lofty
trees, which afford the most pictur-
esque prospect in the world, insomuch
that those who have been there repre-
sent 1t as perfect paradise. The
fields are always green, and they cul-
tivate beans. potatoes and fruit; nor
will the negroes let foot of ground
remain uncultivated. They SOW again
the very next day after they have
reaped. The inhabitants are greatly
civilized, very respectful TO each
other, especially to their superiors,
and very industrious. The women
brew the beer, dress the victuals and
sell all sorts Of commodities at the
market. Men who are rich employ
their wives and slaves in tilling the
land, and carry on considerable
trade with the product. The chief
men have generally forty to fifty
wives. the principal captains three OF
four hundred, and the king four to
five thousand. They are extremely
jealous. II any one happens to touch
any Of the kings wives accidently he
is doomed to perpetual slavery.
1t is no wonder then that the women
are not fond Of being the kings wives,
and some Of them will prefer a speedy
death to such a miserable life. They
have no distinction of hours. days,
weeks, months. or years. They are
such gamesters that they will stake
all they have at play, not excepting
their wives and children. They have
vast number Of idols. and they defy
the most contemplate animal they
first see In the morning, and even
sticks and stones. Their principal re-
gard is for snakes, very high trees
and the sea. They have oxen, cows.
goats, sheep, hogs, turkeys. ducks and
hens, which last are extremely plen-
tiful. There are many elephants. buf-
faloes, tigers. several kinds Of deer
and sort Of rabbit. The fruits are
citrons, lemons, oranges, bananas.
tamarinds, ETC.. and they have vast
numbers Of plain trees, from which
they obtain wine. Their trade consists
Of elephants teeth. wax, and honey.

clubs are the principal weapons Of this
far away nation" - New Orleans

No Aristocracy.

There is no aristocracy in Edgbas-
ton either of birth or wealth. The
Chamberlains and the numerous
branches of their family are, of
course, at the top of the social ladder
and in some respects form a set of
their own. But, like everybody else
there, they are all connected with
trade. If one could discover any di.
viding line it would probably be that
between manufacturers and retail
dealers, but the instances where the
line had been crossed would be at
least as numerous as those in which
it had been kept. Practically every
body Is on an equality in Edgbaston
No one puts on side" there is no
jeunesse doree, and, except at lunch
time, the purely social clubs are al
most deserted Everybody dresses in
the same abominable style, takes part
In the same pursuits, and is happy
and contented in the same way.
Everybody, too seems to have a real
pride in their city. There is more

A famous physician, upon being
asked recently what is the cause of

talking about it all the time. The
ceaseless introspection in which so
many of the rising generations Of
nervous folks indulge is certainly
wearing them out. When they are
not worrying as to whether they
sleep too much or too little they
are fidgeting over the amount of food
they take or the quantity of exercise
necessary for health. In short,
they never give themselves NOM
