The Turk and His Toilet,

Though the dress Of the Turk is elab-
crate, he is most fastidious when it
comes to questions of dress. He gives
one hour Or more to the adjoining of his
mustache. It is no mean task to change
it from faxen to Jet black, perfume it
with rose and amber and soothe the
struggling ends Another hour is given
to the dyeing of his lips and the caring
for. his eyelids and another in practic-
ing his most fascinating smile. He
gives the same attention to his wearing
apparel. 1t is Of finest broadcloth or
velvet and covered with embroidery of
heavy gold. His arms and chest are
left bare to show the splendid polish
Of his ebony skin. Grace Is added by
his capote, draped with great chic. But
this splendor would be nothing with
out a sword with gilt handle, a watch
with concealed miniature, a tobacco
pouch of knitted gold and pistol often
studded with precious stones Chicago

What the Old Time Publishers Paid
From = Sense of Justice. -,
Some interesting details have been
given out lately as to the sums voiun-
tarily paid to British novelists by
American publishers before the days OF
International copyright. ANY American
firm could reprint at once whatever is
sued from the English presses, but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets of forth
coming works, thus enabling them TO
get the start of piraticaP' firms which
paid the author nothing. It is interest
ing to observe the occasional disparity
between the merit of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was in
the nature of a leap in the dark. Often
the sum given by the American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had it been possible to secure
them by copyright. Thus Anthony
Trollope got $500 for .'Sir Harry Hot
spur one of his poorest novels; George
Eliot $500 for Daniel Deronda" and
Charles Reade $1,000 for "a Woman
Halter" No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books if
he were permitted to read them before
| buying.
On the other hand, by way of com
parison, the very best books brought
their authors only trifling returns frem
America. Charles Reade received only
$3.50 for Put Yourself In His Place
$1,000 FOR Hard Cash. these being
two of his finest novels. and $1,000 For
Love Me Little, Love Me Long
Thackeray got only $3.50 for 1.-The New
comes and $500 for Henry Esmona =
Trollope obtained from the Harpers
$125 for "The Bertrams,'' $3.50 fsr
castle Richmond $3.50 for .'Phineas
Finn" $3.50 for "The Eustace Dia-
monds,' "Orley Farm" Lady Anna"
and Ralph the Herr The $500 for
his Cicero is fully as much as any
American publisher would give today
for the copyright of such book.
George Eliot received only 500 fer
adam Bede" and $500 for "Silas Mar
ner." ''The Mill on the Floss brought
her $500.
Wilkie Collins and Dickens were the
most popular authors of the precopy-
right period, and they Jared best of all
at the hands of their authorized Amer
lean publishers. The former drew from
this country $500 for ''The Woman In
White $3.50 each for 'sThe Mon
stone and MAN and Wife" and $1,000
for .Poor Miss Finch" To Dickens
the Harpers paid $3.50 for Little
Dorrit," $500 for BLEAK House."

"Chap" as a Man.

Not until the end Of the sixteenth
century did chapman" a trader or
peddler, get contracted into "chap"
even in vulgar speech, and even then
for long time it did not advance be-
yond the meaning of buyer or custom
er. In this sense Steele speaks of
Hunting after chaps" and Wilkes
writes that perhaps Mrs. Mead would
buy, but she would be a hard chap"
"Chap" seems to have reached it's ulti-
mate stage as a casual equivalent of
IMAM through the intermediate sense
of a man with whom one has dealings,
not of business, but Of good fellowship.
The case of customer is very simi
lar. Shakespeare used it to mean a
boon companion, but "a queer custom
err now means little more than "a
queer man" There is a trace Of the
old mpanionship idea, however, when
q young woman speaks Of .'my chap"

Do ostriches Ever Die,

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich will live. Some
writer's claim that it will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty
years are still breeding and producing
feathers. It is the experience of Ari-
IONA farmers that among the birds
having good nutritious green fee6
deaths seldom occur except as the re-
suit Of accident A dog or other small
animal will sometimes brighten os-
uiches and cause them to run into the
fence, which may result in a broken
leg. When this happens the bird may
as well be killed, as few ever recover
from such an injury. National Geo

5000 MINERS ARE
 WORKING AT NOME Use of Boilers For Thawing the Ground Becoming General
 In Alaska.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1S.-Miners who came down to Seattle on the last boat from Nome this season report that the number of men working in the mines about Nome is at least 5000. This is because of the increased use of boilers for thawing out the ground.
 Where the pay dirt is rich 1t Is pro fitable to mine in the winter with drawers. The thawing outfit consists of boiler and hose and nozzle. The miner runs the nozzle into the bank and turns on the steam, which thaws out a considerable area. It has been found to be extremely profitable to mine by thawing out the dirt directly above the bedrock This is, of course the richest in gold. It is piled up out side the shaft and in the spring the gold is washed out. The dirt which | lies above may be washed out In the summer by ordinary means.
 Fewer people came out this year than ever before" said c. c. Webster of the Canyon Creek Gold company 'In fact, the up boats took in men who spent the summer in the south. z flew years ago very few though of ut Iizing the long eight months of frost Now, where the shafts have reached 1 a depth of 40 or 30 feet, it is found that the men can stay in the mines au winter and work better than in l summer, because of the fact thai | there is no water to bother tnem'

GREENE WILL EXTEND
 CHIHUAHUA RAILROAD
Corporation Formed to Extend the Road As Far As
 TemoSaChic.

FL PASO, Tex, Jan. 19.-Col. W. c. Greene has formed in the states a new corporation named the Sierra Madre and Pacific Railroad company. capitalized at s6,000,00O gold, to build the extension of the Rio Grande, Sier- ra Madre and Pacific railroad from NeuEa Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, the work upon which extension from that point is already commenced.
 The first objective point is Santo Tomas on the Chihuahua and Pacific railroad The final objective point is La Dura in Sonora, where connection will be made with the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific road now being built. The total distance of exten sions is about 400 miles.
 From Nueva Casas Grandes to San to Tomas is about 180 miles, and has already been located. This is the DOT ton which Col Greene says is to be finished in two years. The principal object of this road is to get out the lumber from the mills of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company. Col. Greene, personally, still owns the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pa cific, which extends from c. Juarez, or the border, to Neuca Casas Grandes The Greene Consolidated Copper com pany or, as it now is, the Greene Cananea Copper company, headed by
 Messrs. Greene, Cole and Ryan, owns and is building the 52-kilometer roat from Temosachic, on the Chihuahua
 and Pacific railroad, to Madeira, ol
 San Pedro Springs, where tue Sierra
 Madre Land and Lumber company'i
 mills are located There is strong probability that the three pieces o' road will ultimately be merged into one concern.
