Some Of the Questions Brought Up

Observers of the peaceful revolution in Turkey
are asking themselves how long it will last and
how far will the Turks become OccidentaliZed.

peans. lay a German hearth rug alongside Per-
sian carpet and whose women folk will some

tan has recently had the unexpected pleasure
now give up the practice of having his food
brought to him done up in sealed napkins, for
fear of poison, he sits in solitary grandeur?
Will the cats and dogs, living laboratories for
the analysis of the Padishahs meals no longer
feed upon the carefully prepared food which
forms the diet of the leader Of the Moslems?
Will he now abandon his fortresslike kitchen,
with its heavy walls and barred windows? VIII
he give up his private revolver practice and
through the throngs of his loving people? VIII
he be impoverished by his recent transfer OF
land yielding an annual income of $25OO'Ooo
to the state treasury?
Will it become the habit in Turkey to give up
ill gotten gains? Will the taxes now be collected
by government officials instead of by contract

of the situation to go around more than once a
year? Instead of assessing the taxes on the

led to the wedding few days ago of
Miss Theodore Shonts in New York to
Due de Chaulnes is duplicate of one
enacted at Centerville, Ia, when the
girls rather won the hand of the
mother, Miss Mia Drake, good many
years ago.

to her, but won little favor with her
father until he produced a violin and
began to play duets, with Miss Drake
at the piano. He became frequent
conner to the Drake home and he won
his bride.
1t is said that Theodore Shonts was
opposed to the marriage of his daugh-
ter to foreign nobleman and took no
interest in the courtship of the due
until the due repeated his own expert
ence and appeared with violin. The
accomplishr7e ent, it is said, won him.
So through a violin he won his wife
and lost his daughter
At that time the wedding of Mr..
Shonts and Miss Drake was a quite a
pretentious affair for the little town
of Centerville, but, of course. it could
not compare with the new Shonts we'd
ding. Those in Iowa who knew the
romance of the violin and how the
present railway magnate fiddled him

that his opposition to the marriage of
his daughter had softened under the
soothing tones of violin.

GOAT is SHIPS PASSENGER.
viii Supply Milk for Sick Baby =
Barred from First Cabin.

New York.-Should goat be taken
as first cabin passenger? is one of
the many questions which have arisen
during the week to drive ]. c. Horton,
general passenger traffic manager of
the ocean steamship company, to dis
traction. This question came up when
James Harding of Glens Falls N Y,
notified the company that he, his wife
and their infant daughter, Florence.
desired to sail on the steamer City of
Savannah.
Miss Florence is very delicate, and
under a doctors advice she has been
drinking goats milk, so Mr.. Harding
notified Mr. Horton that the goat that
had supplied the milk would accom-
pany them. He suggested paying first
cabin fare for the milk supply, and
giving the animal a room to herself.
Believing that Miss Mamie Goat"
would not add to the attractiveness of
the ships list, Manager Horton
sought to persuade the father that
the goat would be as well cared for
if put in the steerage. The outcome
of all this was that when the City of
Savannah sailed the goat went along,
but not as a cabin passenger She

length of the waist The smartest of
these will be tight fitting.
For the wear of most women, how
ever, the costumes offered in even the
smart shops will have these jackets
semi-ftting and of the longer rather
than the shorter lengths.
The semi-ftting coat is much the
best for every one for morning and
general travelling wear. Many a
woman wears different corsets, differ
ent in length and build, and she may
wear whichever is most comfortable
and look as well in the semi-fitting
coat. The tight coat, however, de-
mands ones triggest corset. Another
strong point in favor of the semi-fitted
coat is that the thin woman looks
more rounded, while the exuberance of
the too plump figure is not defined,
but pleasingly veiled.
A feature of the new spring coats
will be the pointed skirts. Some of
these will be pointed in the front and
in the back, or will have the pointed
front and rounded back, or points on
the sides.
Some of the coat skirts will be
slashed and these slashes will In some
instances have buttonholes worked in

the other a row Of buttons. Short
slashes will be outlined with length

ELECTRICITY AS CROP AID.
Government Expert Has New Plan to
Hasten Growth.

Washington.-Prof Albert F. Wood.
assistant chief of the bureau of plant
industry, department of agriculture, Is
at work on line Of experiments
which, If expected results are OBJ
tanned, will eliminate the word back
ward" as applied to crops, from the
farmers vocabulary. He proposes to
use electricity as a means of hasten
Ing the growth of plants and vegeta-
bles. That is, he expects to make 1t
possible to farm by electricity.
Prof. Wood says that In Germany
certain crops are raised by electricity.
Why cannot the same be done in the
United States? he asks himself. -
Near the department Of agriculture
plot of ground has been overlayed
and underlayed with a system of
wires. When the weather becomes
warmer seed will be planted and the
current turned on. Prof. Wood says
that the experiments conducted in
Germany show that by electricity
sugar beets mature month earlier
than in the usual way, and that they
aCntain more sugar.

BAN ON ORIENTAL DANCERS.
Lid Placed on Girls Who Amuse
Sailors at Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Washington.-Women who dress in
the amusement of sailors at the Phil
adelphia navy yard are under the gov
ernment's ban. So are women who
wear long skirts and waltz with the
sailors on Sundays in the yard assem-
bly, hall. Ifnact, Uncle Sam has
pressed the lid on all sorts of Sunday
amusements at the navy yards.
These things were fully explained to,
a delegation of Philadelphia pastors
who called on Secretary Metcalf for
the purpose of registering an en-
phatic protest against "doings" at the
navy yard. They told him that they
visited the navy yard assembly hall
there few Sundays ago Just to see
what was going on"
What they saw was something
dreadful" they said, especially on
the Lords day
The secretary told them that he
already had received protest from
Philadelphia directed at naval yards
amusements and showed the pastors
copy of letter he had sent to the
naval commandant calling halt on
the vaudeville shows, the dances and
every other kind of amusementApn the
Sabbath.
The action of the secretary fore
stalls congressional inquiry into
the moral status of the navy yards
employees and the navy generally.

NEW CURE FOUND
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
DISCOVERY GIVES
A REMEDY For DISEASE OF THE
BONES.

CHICAGO, November 5.-Remark-
able results in curing tuberculosis of
the bones, demonstrated in a five
weeks trial at the Home for Destitute
Crippled Children, today turned the
attention to treatment discovered by
Dr. Emil Beck of this city. The treat
ment, which promises to bring relief
to a large percentage of sufferers from
this form of the great white plague, is
simplicity itself, and consists for the
most part in filling the cavity caused
by the disease with a metallic salt,
bismuth sub-nitrate, combined with a
basis of vaseline.
The discovery was incidental to an
X-ray photograph of little invalid.
The solution was applied to fix the out
line of tubercular abscess, and being
left in the cavity proved a healing
agent.
In five weeks twenty out of forty
crippled children were cured by the
treatment. The formula contains thir-
ty grains of bismuth sub-nitrate, COM
bined with sixty grams of vaseline.
The paste so formed is solid at the
temperature of the body, but if fever
is induced will run out of the cavity.
AS the healing continues the mixture
is absorbed.
