What Sultan of Turkey has ever commanded the suppression of the lan- guage and history of a vassal state? Wha. Sultan has prohibited the edu- cation of a section of his subjects? What Sultan has restricted the bene- fits of medical science and closed his sanitariums and watering places to section of his subjects? What Sultan has ordered the massacre of his own subjects without provocation? What Sultan has tortured children to convert them to his faith, making them kneel upon sacks of shot for eighteen hours day until they embraced Moham- mechanism, and caused those who would not be converted to be knouted to death between the ranks of his sol diers ?-Russia as It Really Is.

English .Superstitions.

At Dawlish, in Devonshire, England, they ring the church bell during a thunderstorm to scare away the light ming. Lancashire agricultural labor CTS credit certain of their fellows with power to cast good and evil spells. At Dunstable men carry a live snail in a pill box to ward off toothache, eat stewed earthworms as cure for jaun- dice and fried mouse for whooping cough and cherish all the old supersti- tions as to the dead which made Mer- rie England sad.

Tortoises Climb for Grapes.

Tortoises are known to be able to live for a long time without food It was also believed hitherto that they were rigid teetotalers. This belief, however, has been rudely dlspelled by the discovery that they are very fond of grapes. The proprietor of vine yard in Algiers had noticed for some time serious depredations going on in his plantation. The watchmen he had engaged reported that mysterious noises were heard in the place at night, and consequently refused to stop any longer on the spot. But the master de- termined to inquire into the matter for himself, and, much to his surprise, he found q large number of tortoises climbing up the vines with an alert ness of which tortoises are ordinarily thought to be incapable, and making the most of the good things which the gods had provided for them.

shakspere and Dogs.

We have been convinced by letters sent to us that there are in Shaks- peare's plays plenty of references to dogs and their ways, but we believe that the criticism is well founded which notes that in most cases where dogs are named, except in a general way, they are not spoken of with any particular affection. But may that not be because upon the stage in the Eliza bethan days it would not have been desirable to direct the attention of the audience strongly to anything that would distract them from the motives that inspired the actors? To treat dogs sympathetically would bring them, in a sense, into competition with the human actors.-St. Nicholas.

GOOD ROADS OF EARLY DAYS.
One of the Great Highways of the
 Time Before Railroads.

Time Before Railroads.
 "There is so much talk these times about national highway for the auto mobile that I wonder no mention is made of the old national pike that used to run from Cumberland, Md, to St. Louis," said a whiteh haired, white whiskered veteran, in the New York Tribune.
 "Who ever heard of the national pike? Was it fish" queried his grandson, who had been squeezing an automobile horn until his grandfather had finally ordered him to 'choke that squawking thing" The young man had inherited his grandfather's- love for the open; but his mind had taken different turn. It had gone to wheels instead of horses hoofs.
 "Well, my boy" said the grandfa- ther not noticing the Aggression, ''the national turnpike was magnificent road, which was built by Virginia and Congress. It began at Cumber- land because a good road already ex- isted between Baltimore and Cumber- land. 1 don't suppose Wheeling ever would have been the capital of West Virginia and the prominent municipali- ty that it is if it had not been for this road. There was a fight to have the road run through another town, but Henry Clay had a good many friends in Wheeling, and through his efforts went there. There monument stands to-day commemorating what he did"
 But that all happened before the war;" said the boy as he squeezed the bulb of the automobile horn again. q was born in 1880. No wonder I don't remember about this national pike. Say, grandpa, did you ever ride on it?"
 "I guess I have" was the answer. q remember the time when it looked like the speedway in New York-that is, certain parts of it. We had some fast brushes there in the old times. And the traffic that went over it was like that of city street. There were carriages and wagons and stages, one after the other, for miles and miles, with the wilderness on each side. But the railroads ruined it. As soon as they began building these quicker means of transit the road fell into dis use. The handsome inns, where one could get every comfort, along the road, have tumbled into ruins. l tell you, people are not so strong and hearty as they used to be. They don't live outdoors so much as their fore fathers did"
 "The automobile will bring them outdoors, grandpa, don't you think it willy" said the youth.
 "Yes, 1 have no doubt" replied the old man as he winced at another squawk of the horn, "and it will keep a good many outdoors, too," he added. For all time under six feet of ground"
 "MIany good story was told" he added, "about the pike and the adven- lures and incidents of travel on this highway. I remember one, for in- stance, about Henry Clay, who was sometimes called the Father of the Turnpike" The horses attached to the coach he was in ran away and he was thrown headlong into. the miry road. When they went to pick him up he said with laugh:
 No harm done. Only poor mix ture of Pennsylvania sand with Ken lucky Clay"

The particular sermon to which the

delivered last Sunday at the memorial
service Of the Elks. In effect, DR..
Richmond said that any business man
who received a salary Of $4,000 was
a thief. Richmond said today:

WHITE MATES IN TWO MOVES.

Mrs. I. You have a misconception
as to notation. The squares are num-
bered in sequence from the original
position of the pieces, and toward op-
ponentsy side of the board. Whites
squares are reckoned from his own side
and Blacks from his own. Thus
Whites IA would be Blacks K5. Pieces
the Kings side (the right half for
white, left half for black) are called
Kings pieces-those on the other half,
Queens pieces. The move indicated
does not solve the problem, as after
White q moves, Black could capture
the piece with the pawn, preventing
mate.
