RACE SUICIDE IN TURKEY.
Families Becoming Small to Such =
Degree as to Alarm Gov
eminent.

Turkey it seems is also confronted
with the problem Of race suicide. This
is the more remarkable In Turkey be-
cause the prophet Mahomet n ade pro-
visions which he thought would prevent
such state of affairs. The rule among
the Turks So years ago was 10 marry
young, every man to have several wives,
and each to rear large family.
But all this Is changed. The Tlrk
nowadays does not marry until late and
then he usually has but one wife, and the
families are becoming small tu such 0
degree as to alarm the government.
The sultan is trying to remedy this
matter. He is afraid his empire will be
depopulated. So-he has just recently is
sued an trade on the subject by which
he abolishes great deal of the ex-
pensive display connected with Turkish
carriages. He probably hopes in this
way to make marriage easier and less
expensive and so encourage the Turks
to marry earlier and perhaps oftener.

Mr.. Kuhn was thrifty in money mat
tiers, and cared little for his own person
al appearance. He had worn the same
old shabby overcoat until his sons were
ashamed of him and tried to induce him
to buy new one.
"Oh, nc, !" the old gentleman would al
ways say, II would rather have the $40
that it would cost"
One day the sons determined that he
should wear a new coat, and, believing
that If he could get one at good bar
gain he would buy it, arranged with
tailor to sell him $40 coat for $3.50,
they to pay the Difference. They then
went home and told their father what
handsome coat they had seen, and what
bargain it would be 10 buy it. So the
father went and looked at it, and after
beating the tailor down to six dollars
took it and started for home.
But when he reached the door he had
no coat with him.
Didn't you buy the coat, father?"
'Yes; got it for six dollars" replied
| the old man.

The Dog Expected II.

A New York society dame, who is an
ardent upbolder of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, owns
a little fox terrier of which she is ex-
ceedingIy fond. A man who had called
on her the other day was admiring the
dog and asked its mistress how she,
with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to
cut off Snaps tail and ears to the fash
ionable degree of brevity. The dame
drew herself up and replied, with some
hauteur:
MY dear sir. Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to
have his tail and ears shortened" And
that humbled man went away saying to
himself: That's the first time ever
thought of 'noblesse oblige' as applying
to fox terriers."-N. Y. Tribune.
