REFLECTIONS
OF A BACHELOR

In this world you get kicked for
being poor and cursed for being
rich
A woman doesn't have to have We
ry big feet to get mad about some
other woman's small ones.
If a woman begged her husband
TO drink whiskey the way she does
to go to church, probably he'd be "A
Prohibitionist.
It's very comforting to a woman to
think what n good daughter she
would have been to- her parents. il
she hadn't had her own children to
look after.
A man has to have n good tenn
per not TO get mad with himself for
thinking OF a good lie he might have
told his wife, only after he had tdId
her poor one to explain why he
got home So late.-N. Y. Press.

COURTSHIP IN TURKEY.
When Bride INT Bridegroom Meet for the
First Time.
From the London Globe.

IRWIN tVt tOfd0" "tOOG.
There are few barbarous tribes In the most
benighted Of continents where courtship and
marriage are more grotesauely conducted
than in European Turkey. 1t is lucky for
the Turkish sultor that he need not even
pretend to be o lover. No ardor could sur
vive the chilling fortnalities that have to DO
gone through.
A Turkish young man may. OF course, want
a wife. but he has nothing at all to do with
looking for one, That IL the business OF his
mother and female relatives. who visit sev-
eral manageable girls and select one, with
whom the bridegroom then exchanges a ring
by messenger.
On the day Of the betrothal contract an
imam gets the assent Of the bride-elect through
the door Of the harem, and the two families
dine together. neither Of the two persons
most concerned being present. On the we'd
ding day the brides trousseau Is taken 20 her
husbands house. while she is taken the round
Of her relatives. and there is much dancing
at every house, after which her male relatives
exercise all malign spirits with swords and
spears In dumb show Of fighting.
Finally, evening draws on, the bride reaches
her husbands home and everybsdy clears
out. leaving her and her husband TO see each
other for the first time and to scrape 40
quaintance as best they can.
Under the old Moslem law even speaking
acquaintance would have been impossible. az
the bride was doomed TO absolute silence for
q whole month, Now her husband gives her
q present at meeting, and she may speak.

JUST SHUT OFF THE CURRENT.
Simple Way OF Preventing a SeeminglyRin.
evitable; Head.On Collision.


UTICA; June 23.-For twenty-five. min
utes the other night the power was turned
of on the division of the Utica and Mohawk
Valley Electric Railroad extending from
this citv to Frankfort In order to avert
a head-on crash between a couple of crowded
trolley cars travelling toward each other
at a sixty mile an hour clip.
West Of the village Of Frankfort the cleo
trio railway company is repairing its tradlnas
and for a section both eastbound and west
bound cars nave been using the same track.
To protect the car in the block watchmen
are stationed at either end Of the single
track and permit only one car in the block
at q time.
While the watohman was absent the
other night al eastbound car dashed past
the danger point. For a second the watch
man contemplated the horror of a col
lision which appeared unavoidable, and
then, rushing to a telephone. he directed
that the power on that division be shut
of.
This was done. At brief intervals the
current was sent through the wires, en-
abling the two cars to move ahead slowly
and show by their headlights that they
were. approaching each other. Had the
Waterman not acted promptly in having
the power turned off nothing could have
saved the cars from collision.

Friendship Of q Cat and a Duck.

From he London Evening Standard.
We have had the usual crop Of curiosities
as to nesting places and strange families
adopted by birds and animals. but nothing
more divertIng than o fellowship which exists
between q certain ample "mouser" and o
duck Of Rooselike proportions.
Puss waits by the side Of the pond In which
the duck takes its bath. then the two retire
In company to the shade Of the trees and lie
down In amity. How the cat tolerates the
wet feathers Of Its comrade Is a mystery;
but there they lie. the duck with one of It's
wings spread as q shield over tho cat. the
tail Of the latter ourled like q very smart
boa about the neck Of Its feathered friend.
30 long as the worm keeps beneath the turf
and songsters do not stoop too low in the air
the idyl lasts. and all local life wonders.

Tive Strange Bears.

FROM he Pdu hdH bdsefe.
From time to time remarkable hybrid ami
mails are received at the Geological Society's
Gardens: but per haps none more curious than
the two bears now exhIbit ed In the mensgerie
have ever been seen there. These animals are
hyhrids between the polar bear and the Euro
pean brown bear.
The larger Of the two is. with the exception
Of the head, almost entirely brown. while the
ether lie white. with some faint tinges OF
brown here and there on the body. OF the
varieties Of bears thore lie seemingly no end.
but as to the number Of distinct species there
10 much disagreement among biologists.
Not only on account Of It's peculiar oolorlza-
ton, but in form. the polar bear would seem to
have good claim to specific distinction. And
the fact that 1t lnterbreeds with such a differ
ent looking animal is. to say the least OF IL.
remarkable. They are fine animals and form

While 8. G. o'Bryan. an oil we'll sho otter, was
driving past West Side Park late yesterday
afternoon. he was attracted by the barking
OF his English terrier. Dan. and the next
moment saw the dog plunge into the river.
Before 0'Bryan had time TO dismount
from his wagon. the dog had grasped by tho
trousers @ little boy that was in White River,
and was dragging the child ashore. When
o'Bryan arrived at the river bank and helped
the animal to bring the child ashore the boy
was unconscious. and 1t was fifteen minutes
before he was revived. The boy proved to be

The lad had been wading and had gone
beyond his depth when the dog noticed his
predicament. But for the dog the child
undoubtedly would have drowned.
