HAREM LIFE
In Turkey Not So Listless and Dreamy
as Depicted.
From Illustrated Bits.

From Illustrated Bits.
Turkish girls are not unpicturesque for
they have a style of their own; but in
stead of living a healthy outdoor life
most of the time, they seem to prefer to
keep right out of sight in the privacy of
the herem Perhaps this is because when
they walk abroad they are obliged to wear
those thick, long wells which come right
up to their noses, and leave the rest OF
their charms TO the imagination of the
beholder. This must be very irritating to
girl with any pretense to good looks.
for although a good deal can be said to an
impressionable young man by means of a
pair of eyes, yet he generally likes to
know rather more about the girl than
that before he takes any definite steps,
as 1t were.
How is he to know that she hasn't =
mouth the size of a healthy saucepan,
or, perhaps, nose about the shape of
which it would be kinder to say MOTH
ing?
Again. another very probable reason
why Turkish girls do not go out much is
because their husband does not know
exactly how many wives he has until
the stock-taking is over; and he natu-
rally does not like to take whole gang
of them for walk for fear he shall miss
one or two at the Bon Marche. You see.
If he left any behind he would be part of
a widower. so to speak, which would be
very sad
Turkish girls who have a husband be-
tween about fifty of them are popularity
supposed to live in a harem. and about
harems various luscious but totally mis-
leading details have leaked out from time
to time which tend to put people of an
inquiring nature under a complete mis-
apprehension as to the facts of the case
For instance. the generally accepted
idea seems to be that ladies of the harem
-one might almost call them harem lilies
ARE attired in sort of Giving picture
costume of muslin. Their amusements,
too, are set down as lolling on couches.
with an attendant to fan the bluebottles
away, and alternating sips of sherbet
with slabs of that stodgy indigestible
sweetmeat misnamed Turkish delight.
But the reality. 1 am sorry to say, IT,,
according to the latest revelations and
news from the front, quite different.
Their style of dress emanates from
Paris now-at least, that destined for hol-
iday use; and on ordinary days they loll
next to nothing. No; they have to per-
form such prosaic household duties as
sewing. cooking. busting the ornaments
on the drawing room mantelpece-and
so on.
1t is positively shameful! There will
soon be no romance left in the world.
With regard to personal appearance. I
believe Turkish girls run in the direction
of-shall we say?-plumpness. As for
their everyday costume / could describe
1t. although I am not supposed to know
anything about such things-but then, you
see, this Is family paper. and I have
its reputation TO consider.

dozen times. even. and you will see the
monstrous labor this little nerve must do.
The heart nerve Is only one Of tine

is so closely allied with the others that

by a branch of these same sympathetic
nerves-the inside nerves.

Byron and Napoleon.

John Davidson in London Outlook
The more. | think of Byron the more
clear IL becomes to me that he Is, first,
second and third tragic figure. He
was the child of loveless marriage,
that constant source of huge armies of
diseordant natures. His upbrlnging was
tragic; his marriage was tragic; his loves
were tragic; his death, which at first
thought only tragic-farce, Is actual
tragedy. Byron and Napoleon, contem-
poraries, were the analogues and COM
plements of each other Byron Is the
passive tragedy of the imaginative tenn
permanent as poet, using expressin; Ma
poleon is the active tragedy of the i'm
aginative temperament as warrior 4 and
world -compeller, employing deeds. Bfyon
inevitably ends in an abortive attempt
at action In Greece Napoleon as In
evitably, in an abortive attempt at eS-
preston (the dictated memoirs) in st,

LAKES PUZZLE SCIENTISTS.
Increasing Depth of Water In the In
land Seas a Perplexng Mystery.

Chicago.-Shp owners are puzzled over
the rise in the levels of the great lakes
in the last ten years and are at a loss to
explain it. They are asking whether the
agency which has caused the rise will add
still more to the depth of water In the
lake channels Every foot of added
draught for ships means the addition OF
thousands of dollars to their freight earn
ins capacity.
No theory has been advanced by men
of science which seems to explain the
increased volume of water in the lakes.
The natural explanation, that of Increased
rain and snow fall is questionable N
view of the statistics of the weather bu-
reau which show that In the last ten
years the average precipitation In the
lake region has been below the normal.
These figures show the rise In lake levels
In ten years, the number of feet being
the high water height above the mean sea
