An Agreeable Turk.

Whether the sultan of turkey is
sincere in TelinquishinC his autocTacy

his dominiOns is d question upon which
public sentiment naturally is divided
The character of Abdul Hamid must
be taken into consideration in forming
an opinion of the sincerity OF his
course. So far from being the "un-

by the English statesman, the sultani

THE OPEN WINDOW
PRESERNER OE HEALTH,

Health is the most desirable of all
mundane Things. and open windows
are a great step in the preservation
and reclamation of health.
Good Health a monthly pUblica-
ton devoted to what its name i'm
pnes, speaks a strong word for the
open window"
It says: The best part of a mod
ern house is its windows. To keep
them open day and night and to
make the air inside approach as near
ly as possible the air outside should
be the first business of the house
keeper"
How often does one see the win
dows shut tight, even in summer, in
this city? All modern science now
demands the open air And all open
air is good, day or night, and is, in
deed, the best of medicine When
someone demonstrated with Florence
Nightingale as to opening windows
and letting in the night air, she re-
piled that night air was the only
kind of air there was at night. The
rule of the modern house should be
big windows, opening to the floor if
possible, plenty of them, and wide
open.

HENRY WARD BEECHER
AND HIS UMBRELLA.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun furnishes this story OF Revs
Henry Ward Beecher: Among the fl
nancial friends of the great preacher
was one old broker in New York
an aggressive Unitarian, which sect
he often said bore the trademark OF
honesty" One day he met Mr..
Beecher hurrying toward WalIstreet
ferry TO avoid the down-pOur of a
sudden TainstoTm.
Take my umbrella" said the
broker. Il don't need it; the coming
bus takes me to my door"
At the ferry Mr.. Beecher met a
lady, a prominent church worker OF
sister church, who, having no UNI
brella. was lamenting her inability to
reach her car safely. The urbane
preacher forced the umbrella upon
her as ne said: Il will be out your
way tomorrow and will call and get
it,"
Two hours later as Mr.. Beecher
was sitting in the old arm chair in
his study the doorben rang and
when he responded to the call a boy
hurriediy presented him with an UNI
bTella. together with an unseaIed
note. which read:
Dear Mr.. Beecher-My husband,
Mr.. NJ. demands that / return the
umbrella you so kindly loaned me at
once, and Join him in saying that IN
der the circumstances the pleasure OF
an anticipated call is unregretted.
Upon opening the umbrella you will
become more fully advised of our
united action"
The great expounder of truth and
honesty was Mortified when. upon
opening the umbrella, ne discovered a
pasted slip upon which was written
in a bold hand: stolen by some
Presbyterian thief"

progress. He read letter from the 1.
4 W. n. railroad, to the effect that they
would be willing to grant right of way
across their property and a ferry land
ing under certain conditions, which they
had no doubt could be arranged. The
