sultan's Ragged Soldiers.

The sultan's army suggests a regu.
lar country circus. Every Friday one
may see a sample of these monkey
like soldiers at the parade of the Sc
lamlik, which takes place on the Kas-
ba square at IL a. m. A battalion
marches past in double column enc

his palace to the mosque.
All these soldiers are poorly
equipped. Their uniforms have lost
their color and their trousers are too
short, showing their legs, which shine
as II they had been covered with shoe
polish. However, 1t would be mis-.
take to think that this gang of ragged
rufians could not stand a fight. Fanat
icism will make heroes of them, for
their contempt OF death is absolute.

FABLE OF THE PANsv.
Entire Family May Be, Traced In Flow
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
interested In the fable concerning 1t.
The blossom has Ave petals and Ave
sepals. IN most pansies. especially Of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. Tho two
plain petals have a single sepal each,
and the third, which is the largest OF
ALL has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents a family, consist.
ing of husband, wife and four daugh-
ters, two of the latter being step-chil-
dren of the wife. The plain petals are
the step-children, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with a chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife, with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have a
fanclful resemblance to an old man
with flannel wrap round his neck, his
shoulders appraised and his feet In a
bathtub. In France the ransy Is uni
versally called the step-mcther.

together they will paint his portrait:
not the portrait he thinks they are
