is unable to guarantee that the guns

The Telegraph Tie Up.
The telegraph tie-up throughout Rus
STA is practically complete, and the
government does not know what is
happening in the interior of the empire.
Emissaries of the strikers have been
sent to Finland to induce their COM
rades t0 join in the strike. This would
cut off cable communication, which re-
mains open for press and government
messages, although the central of1ce
here IS nominally closed.
The Government POwerless.
Mich as the government would like
to resist, it is powerless, with the
threat of a general political strike
next Monday hanging over its head, ana
tine fact that Interior Minister DurnoVo
will probably be sacrificed to secure
the resumption of Geographic COM
munication. At the same time the gov
ernmeRt is fully conscious that the de-
mands for the reinstatement OF the
leaders of the Telegraphers' union ana
the dismissal of M. Durnovo are mere
nretexts. and that its surrender Will
only serve to encourage the revolution
lists to new efforts.

RACE SUICIDE IN TURKEY.
Families Becoming Small to Such q
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 made pro-
visions which he thought would prevent
such a state of affairs. The rule among
the Turks So years ago was to marry
young, every man to have several wives,
and each to rear large family.
But all this Is changed. The Turk
nowadays does not marry until late and
then he usually has but one wife, and the
families are becoming small to such q
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 u.s.
sued an trade on the subject by which
he abolishes a great deal of the ex-
pensive display connected with Turkish
marriages. He probably hopes in this
way to make marriage easier and less
expensive and SO encourage the Turks
to marry earlier and perhaps oftener.

stopped one day lately for repairs IL

said they had been on the road the last

last June and travelled ever since. He
said that he and his family were out for
their health. They ate nothing but
meats ever since they started on their
long tour. Their health is mending.-

IS A VERY TRYING ORDEAL
Univ Men Get So Tired When Being
Fitted by the Tailor for
New Clothes.

did you ever watch man having
suit of clothes tried on?" asked down
town tailor few days ago OF one OF
his customers, who was stanolng pa
tiently as every crease in the newly
made coat was being analysed in order
that it might be smoothed out in the
finishing.
MOP" continued the man with the
tape measure, according to the wash
ington Star. well, you will never I'M
derstand what it is to have tabernacle
clothes tried on until you make point
of watching some one else. You can
understand by going through the oper-
alton yourself. Are you aware that
you have been gaping like man work
in, into the small hours and longing
for his bed? You didn't know what
made you so sleepy? Now. I'll tell you
it's the measuring that does It. us
nothing peculiar to you. Why It Is
don't know, but a man who can stand
the strain of hours of physical exercise,
or who can sit at his desk engaged IN
the most trying mental work all day
long without showing fatigue, will go
all to pieces in Is minutes under the
hands of his tailor.
Il usually give strong man ID min
utes to get played out. At the end OF
that time he begins to cape and he
stretches as much as he can without
throwing the tailor entirely away from
him. Then his fatigue grows rapidly.
Many a man has fallen down before he
init ovhQySfnd hn
has been under the ordeal of posing for
the tailor Not long ago one of my GUS
toners, weighing over 800 pounds, and q
| man reputed to have extraordinary
strength, fell fiat on the floor and near
! ly crushed me in going down. tell
you, you have to watch a man after he
has been standing In this way for lis
minutes.
'eThe worst of it is men DO not under
stand how soon they become exhausted
| standing erect without moving. Usual
ly when they begin to cape they try to
hide their fatigue. They don't under
stand how it is. They fight against it.
But it's no use. Why is it they give out
| standing quietly when they could walk
five miles without feeling tired?
IT put that question to my physician
some time ago and he pulled down one
of his books on anatomy for me to
look at. He opened it at a page on
which the muscular system was shown
He pointed out the muscles that are
used in walking and in all classes Of
exercise He showed how the back II
rested by a change of position. Then
he pointed out the muscles that are
brought into play in the act of stand
ing erect. They are never used except
by those whose duties require such
standing for long periods of time. The
orderly develops them as he stands al
an officers door. The clerk behind the
counter learns to use them. The or
binary man at reception also finds
what it is to stand erect and to use these
muscles to a certain extent, and he
often wonders what 1t is that made hin
SO tired. But the height of develop
ment is only had in posing for the tailor
The next time you have to stand fol
your measure or to have clothing tried
on, don't think it is unusual when you
find that you are ready to drop down
when the ordeal is over"
