THE TOO FAT.

Fat hens, being wretched layers, are
always sold off by farmers.
The early Romans banished all use
less persons, including the fat in this
ategory.
Ovid, in his "Art of Love-" says,
Keep ver slender and supple, for the
fat have no success with women"
The Gentoo tribe enter their houses
by a hole in the roof Of a certain pre-
scribed size, and they who grow too
bulky to enter by this hole are slain M
useless and lazy.
In England 1t was once the law to
put the fat to death-"An dronkittis,

REVEALS THEIR BEAUTY.

Veil Torn From Turkish Harem
Women by Wreck Of Old Regime.
The Turkish veil, which for ages has
hidden the traditional beauty Of the
Turkish women, has been torn away in
the wreck Of the old regime and to-
day, according to dispatches from Tur-
key, hundreds Of unveiled women are
parading the streets rejoicing in the
new found freedom. The innovation,
the most startling n the history Of the
0 oman empire, r. being welcomed by
the men, who cheer the unveiled wo-
men at every opportunity. The whole
outward appearance of the empire has
been changed by the new order Of
things. On every hand the smiling
faces Of women are seen instead of
somber ugly wells that hid them from
the world.
The most remarkable feature of the
political upheaval In Turkey, which has
Just resulted IN the granting Of a con-
%stitution by the Sultan, has been the
participation of hundreds Of thousands
Of women who emerged from the prl-
vacy of harems, tore of their wells and
marched bravely through the streets.
The first women to abandon their wells
were those at Monastir, the hotbed Of
the revolution. The command of the
Koran that women should appear veil
ed in public was ca .celed by a Moslem
pi st who issued his proclamation from
the Mosque.
I'VE will help to make the world
beautiful by this act" the priest de
clared. Many remarkable scenes greet
q. the radical change, but without cx-
ception the innovation was approved.

about them at all.
Thus the days at the White House
are uneventful ones. For an hour or

busy shaking hands with congressman

CHARLES TYSON YERkES.

Andrew Carnegie has sought i'm
mortality through Libraries, and other
miilionaires have secured inches in the
hall of fame by other benefactions but
the name of Charles Tyson Yerkes will
go down to posterity principally be
cause of the great observatory at Will
liam's Bay, Wis, which he built for
the University of Chicago.
Mr.. Yerkes was born in Philadelphia
72 years ago today but the fact that
he first saw the light of day in what
is supposedly the slowest city in the
world never prevented him of the bus
mess in which he amassed his millions.
Mr.. Yerkes began his career as an
exchange broker when only 81 years
of age. and in 1851 he engaged in
the banking business. After weather
ing the financial storms Of the civil
war he fell upon evil days and his star
