VAST RICHES OF TURKEY.
Country Has Great Future, Accord.
ing to American.

Turkey, | believe, is the richest
country on the globe for its size,"
said Ernest A. Magnifico, American
vice consul at Smyrna, Turkey.
There are copper mines. zinc
mines, lead mines, and gold and sill
yer mines to be found in abundance
in Turkey, but they remain undevel-
Oped because no one can get a con-
cession from the government to work
them" continued Mr.. Ma nifico. For
eign capital is afraid to enter Tur-
key, and the industry Of the country
and the population, ! believe. are de-
creasing yearly. But this cannot last
forever. The people, for centuries
under the yoke of restraint, are be
ginning to throw of their burden and
are awaking to the possibilities Of the
future.
Ten years ago 90 per cent. Of the
people were ignorant of the utility Of
tent to allow their children to grow
up without education, as they had
done before them. Now schools are
springing up everywhere, even In the
rural districts. and the people are be-
coming alive to their true interests.
They are taking an interest in poll
tics and governmental affairs. and
It is not far step from education
and zeal in politics to active partici-
patton in the running Of the govern
ment.
Alphabetically Turkey Is the most
fertile spot in the world. Anything
can be grown there. The principal
products are wheat and barley, near.
ly all Of which is shipped to England.
Smyrna Is a city Of 100000 popula-
ton, and 10 the largest export city ON
the Mediterranean, which Is saying .

Genoa and Naples are on that sea.
There are few manufacturing estab-
ilshments there and no machinery 10

THINGS WE 90 NOT GEE.
Proof That the Majority Of People
Are unobservant.

A man who had recently been in
Europe was entertaining his friends
with stories about Paris, and in the
course of his talk mentioned several
places which we're unknown to his
listeners, although they had all fire.
Quently visited the French capital.
People go through the world with
their eyes Shut" was the story tell
er's comment A quiet little man in
the party then said that even the
most observing people did not always
see, and, addressing the traveller,
said: You have read the same pa
per daily for 80 yeafs Do you know
how many columns It has on pager"
mo" you look at your watch many
times every day. Can you tell me, Is
the six on it's face Roman or an
Arabic figure?" why, Roman, Of
course" And he looked, and found
that there was no six" on his watch

said the little man. that the most
observing do not always see."

Play a Necessity Of Life.

The gospel of play will, we are con.
fident, win for itself hearing as the
gospel OF wholesomeness and a fuller
life. It will go far to create a bet
ter race Of manly beings, better So
cial state and throw a new light on
the piety Of grimness and "other
worldliness." What we have said has
been applied mainly to city life, to
the overpacked and unnatural crowd;
but 1t is applicable in modified form
to country life. The people who live
among the trees and brooks do get, In
spite of themselves, a certain relaxa.
ton, yet they need what they do not
get-the useless sport, the utter relief
for portion of each day from trying
to make ends meet."-N. Y. indie

VARIOUS KINDS or COINAGE.
Twenty-six Different Monetary Units
Are In Use.

Twenty.six different monetary units
are used by the 4S principal countries
of the world. Thus. Great Britain
uses the sovereign or pound sterling;
France and six other countries Of Eu.
rope use a unit equal to the franc;
and Canada and the United States use
the dollar. In value these different
units range from ~ to 494.33 cents Of
money Of the United States. They
are represented In their turn by coins
the values Of which are either multi
pies or are fractional parts Of the
value Of their own chief units, and
there are no doubt at least 200 such
different coins, not one of which
seems to have value equal to that Of
any commonly known unit Of weight,
as the gram, for example. or the
ounce Of gold, although 43 Of these
4S countries have accepted gold ss
their standard measure of values. In
the coinage of the world there seems,
indeed, to be little that is logical or
reasonable. Adoption of single
monetary unit OF base, IL not of an
universal system of coinage to be
used in all commerce between the ma.
tons, suggests e. w. Perry in Moody's
Magazine, would be long step in
that evolution through the centuries,
because there has been no concerted
we'll planned and persistent effort ia
remove the evils of the existing dis
order.

The Limit of Life.

scientists are unanimous in the
conclusion that the generally ac-

is many years below the attain

iod, that determines its duration,
seems to be between so and 60;

The extent to which silver jewelry
will again become popular remains to
be SEEN Silver and pearls accord
well with the fine silver embroidery,
which is considered very chic. A
little brooch of this character is new
design.
A silver center piece that takes on
an unusual form is designed to be
very decorative, with large far
ing vase for flowers in the center.
from which spring four curving sup
ports, each of which serves to sus-
pend very pretty basket of pierced

Years ago there was a fashion for
flexible snake bracelets. and an indi-
cation of the revival of this motif in
fine jewelry was recently seen in a
new necklet, with bracelet to match,
of the most delicate workmanship, In
yellow gold wire, an admirable ex-
ample of the goldsmith's art. The
eyes of the snakes were of fine
rubies.
