TURKISH ARMY OFFICERS.

They Are Neither Loved Nor Re-
spected by Their Men.
Very seldom II he can help 1t does
the Turkish army officer appear on
horseback, and when not on duty he
looks upon his horse merely as a meth
cd of locomoticn. He has no affection
or understanding for the horse. The
superior officers have no horses Of their
own, and, being generally bad riders
and without military qualities which
would raise them in the estimation of
their men, they are neither loved nor
respected by then Married officers
keep entirely TO themselves, such
things as invitations to one another's
houses being unknown, and the only
occasions upon which officers meet to-
gether at all are on the days Of assem-
bly,, when they are called together for
the sultan's birthday or accession ce|e-
brations
The pay Of the lower ranks is as
small as that Of the superior officers is
high. The young cavalry officer who
makes good impression on his entry
into the service soon falls to pieces
through want of occupation either OF
mind or body. The greater part OF
the morning and evening he sits over
his coffee and cards or domlnoes.
There are but few newspapers. and
those that dc exist are 80 severely
censored by the government that they
contain little but weather statistics,
gazettes and announcements OF the be
stowal Of decorations.
What the Turkish officer really thor
oughly enjoys IL a gramophone. In

producing the music hall songs OF all
the cities OF Europe are in the greatest

perintendent OF a coal mino in Color
ado for five years, and now she is
ready to resign. The reason is an odd
one and also truly feminine. Mrs.
Upham is losing her nerve. She has
become possessed of the dread of a
mine explosion. For four years and
six months she was without fear, but
six months ago she began to think en-
explosion might occur at any time.
Few coal Mines. she remembered,
went without an explosion, and it
seemed as If it might be time for one
in the mine of which she is superin-
tendent. No explosion has come yet,
but Mrs. Upham rises every morning
in anxiety. There is not the slightest
reason why the mine should not go on
another five years. or twenty years or
forty. without an explosion, but Mrs.
Upham must go her woman's way

AS rule this bow is sufficient ad-

enough trimming for the every day
hours. 1t is not against millinery
ideals, however, to Offset the bow with
an immense bunch Of flowers on the

One must be careful to place the
trimming on a good line with the bow,
otherwise the balance is lost, and the
lines of the hat are bad.
While the loose bow copied from a
child's hat is always placed at the
back, the pump bow is across the

to place 1t on the brim instead of the
