There are many repellent sights In
Constantinople and it Is hard to con-

represents a scene from inferno than
an ordinary business transaction that
occurs nightly. Dogs are the scaven-
gers Of Constantlnople and every night
the refuse of hotels and houses Is
thrown out into the street.
A class of men exists which lives by
ragpicking and diligently investigates
the contents of these heaps, while the

Foundation of Japan.

Every Feb. II Is celebrated In Japan
the great annual festival of Kigensetsu,
the anniversary of the foundation of
the empire by the first emperor, Jimmu-
tenno, b. G. 660. The japanese reckon
their present era as from this date, and
1t was on Feb. II, 1889, that Mutsuhito,
the one hundred and twenty first of
the dynasty, promulgated the present
constitution of the Empire Of japan,
the fundamental principle Of which Is
clearly stated In its first article. The
Empire Of Japan shall be reigned over
and governed by line Of emperors un-
broken from ages eternal" The organ
lzation Of a parliament took place in
1890, which In the japanese reckoning
would be 1850 from Jlmmu's setting nm
his capital at Kishlwara, in the proy-
ince Of Yamato, which Is regarded nv
japanese historians as the beginning of
the empire.

That the cost Of living is steadily in
creasing in other countries, as we'll as
in the United States, IS undoubtable. In
Germany prices have advanced to such
an extent that what were few years
ago taken as matter Of course and
regarded as necessities are now dis
tinctly luxuries to the middle classes.
In a recent address the mayor of the
City Of Stuttgart, which has a popu-
lation of 247,OO0, stated that during
the last twelve months the city's meat
supply had cost about sG60,OOO more
than for the preceding year. The agri-
cultural products consumed in the city
cost at least 100000 more than the
year before. Owing to this great in
crease Of cost the city was compelled to
raise the wages of all its laborers and
employees. Reports Of like conditions
come from almost all other German
cities.-Harper's Weekly.

COMETS FoRETELL DISASTERS.

Strange Shapes in the Heavens Pre-

Does the advent Of comet presage
war, or pestilence, famine or some 9th

1t Is the common belief that 1t does,
and to certain extent even noted men
have subscribed to the general belief
that when we see the waverlng, uncer-

thing Is about to happen.
There Is even data extant TO war

great many Of the most disastrous
happenings on this earth were preceded
by the appearance of a comet In the
heavens.

Turks in ConstantinopIe Treat the
Animals Considerately.
The dogs are great feature Of Con-
stantinople and, indeed, of all Turkish
towns. They lie about In amiable
heaps in the sunshine and are most
considerably treated by the Turks,
though occasionally they suffer at the
hands of Greeks or Armenians. One
constantly sees a slumbering group,
over which the passersby carefully
step, monopollzing the very center OF
busy. crowded street Each road has
its own pack, which protests vehement
ly against any foreign trespasser.
Yet a dog may pass where he pleases
by making, In the Turkish phrase,
"tesslim''-that Is, resignation" In a
street not his own he Is obliged every
few yards to lie on his back and wave
his paws propitiatingly, while an inhos-
pitable chorus barks around him. The
progress is slow and undignifled, but In
the end sure.
Some of the dogs are handsome and
nearly all have courtly manners, but
the great majority are either crippled
by carriages or mango stricken. When
puppies appear upon the scene the
nearest Turk provides a blanket and
milk and sees generally to their well
fare and woe betide the foreigner who
tries to kill a hound.

Mountains of Europe.
Exciting sport, the more exciting be-
cause Of the hardships connected with
it, Is offered by chamois hunting In the
mountains Of Europe. The chamos
are found everywhere in the highest
mountains Of Germany, Austria, Switz
erland, In Pennsylvania, In the Car
pathians, also in the Alps, and these
extremely shy animals are regarded by
all true huntsmen as the most desir-
able Of all game. The chamois belongs
to the antelope species; but, unlike
it's kin Of the broad plains, 1t pre-
fers the barren wilds Of the high noun
talns, and, like the mountain sheep, the
ibex and the mouflon, 1t selects in this
territory full Of chasms and canyons
the most impossible regions as Its lair.
During the summer months the cham
ois roams in the higher attitudes, but
in the winter time it must descend to
find its feed. After feeding 1t returns
to its old impossible hooks, where 1t
feels secure. AS in the case OF the
deer the male Is called buck and the
female a doe but, unlike all other an.
imals Of this kind, both sexes are an
TERED, the horns being called "kricke-
lor," but those Of the doe are somewhat
lighter than those of the buck. The
doe brings forth one fawn every year,
sometimes two, but very seldom three,
which are very dearly loved by the
mother and which she protects against
all dangers.-Outer's Book.

The Most Hated Man In America.

A representative of the Woman's s
Home Companion, who spent the
greater part Of ten days with John D.
Rock efeller at his Cleveland home,
says of Mr.. Rockefeller. sit is no
exaggeratiOn to say he (Rockefeller)
is the most hated, least understood,
and most interesting man in America.
In estimating the multi-millionaire's IS
wealth, the article, which is graphi-
cally illustrated with photographs
loaned by Mr.. Rockefeller, contains
this interesting statement:
When millionaire Marcus DAILY
died he was generally said to be worth
$50, 900, 900. When his will was
probated, it showed about $13, 0e0, :
900. Senator Hearst was popularity
reported to be worth, when he died,
from forty to eighty millions, and so
on. The facts showed about seven
teen Millions and so on. So Mr..
Rockefeller's wealth would be more
correctly represented by about one
quarter of the billion which he. has
so often been charged with possessing
aud more than half Of this has come
of the advance in many judicious in
vestments long years ago.

Mining copper is Just like any
other business proposition. 1t re-
solves itself into the one thing of
getting the most out Of it at the least
cost. For that reason development
in copper mining has been rapid, as
mining engineers and inventors have
found the field very productive one.
New methods and machines have cut
the cost of production down about
half since 1890, aud now, it is reck-
oned in a general way that the aver
age cost of mining a pound of copper
ore is about IL cents; that Is to say,
this is the expense of getting it from
the ground to the market, including
digiug, smelling, refining, etc. All
that is received above this figure is
clear l.o6t; and as commercial cop
per runs not far from 20 cents a
pound, the huge dividends Of such
mines as the Calumet & Hecla, which
during the year ending in April last
produced 1O1, 900, 900 pounds, are
easily understood. OF course much
copper-probably the bulk Of it's
produced for considerably less than
IL cents, but allowing for strikes,
accidents and enforced shutdowus
from fires, flooding, etc., IL cents is
acceped as about the average cost,
Calumet & Hecla copper is mined at
about 8 cents a pound; the Anaconda
mine i'll Montana pays about IL.
Western copper, in addition to sui
phur and iron, almost invariably con =
tains gold and silver. Some of the
Montana and Arizona mines get $5
to Sc a ton from this source, enough
to make the process of smelling they
are compelled to follow heavily profit
able.
The demand for copper is constant
ly increasing. Europe, where cleo
trlcal development is going on at a
pace but little less that our own, is
dependent upon the American conti-
nent for almost all her copper.
South America has some mines, and
Mexico also, but the camps of Lake
Superior, Montana and Arizona must
continue for years to be the chief
sourse of supply. As the need of
copper increases, futher explorations
and Investigations will be made, of
course, but not much Encouragement
has been met with elsewhere. That
copper exists in great quantities in
other places must be to me a settled
fact, but it is another thing to find
it, though prospectors are working
in every country on earth. Forty
years ago, Europe produced all the
copper she needed. Now her mines
have mostly failed, though Spain still
produces a considerable quantity.
Last year We exported $S7, 900, 600
worth of copper to Europe.
Ten years ago, the value Of the
copper produced in the whole United
