Few Beds In Bagdad.

About 60 per cent Of Bagdad's pop
ulation possess no beds These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors Of their houses In the winter
and on the roofs in the summer. Owing
to the excessive heat Of these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens. It is an interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there is little to
fear from exposure to the night air.
While a considerable number Of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount Of privacy,
by far the larger number are quite ex-
posed to the gaze Of curious and In
Quisitive neighbors.

the Salvers.
What it means to salVe wreck Is
something that few outside Of prac-
teal seamen can properly appreciate.
The wreck is :, ponderous, unwieldy
mountain Of steel and oak. weighing
between 5000 and $4,000 tons, often
dangerous for any vessel to approach,
and this must be lifted bodily and
foated from the decks Of pitching, IN
stable scows and barges. The wreck
may be submerged beneath fifteen or
thirty feet Of water and so stove in
that divers must go down and effect
temporary repairs before it can be
raised It may be wreck so shat
tered that it is not worth raising, so
that the wrecker's work consists mere
ly il blowing up the hulk and re-
moving It as menace to navigation.
Or the vessel may be fairly intact, but
sunk too deep. to make attempt at
raising advisable, the wrecker's work
consisting in salving valuable cargo.
Often the wreck Is one not submerged
at all. a ship may have run on to a
reef, where 1t lies, nose on crag and
stern afoat, rising and falling on the
ocean swell, pounding, pounding and
pounding until the very ocean bottom
drones and she is gradually broken to
pieces. Or, again, the wreck may be
that Of a steamer which has pointed
its nose shoreward in fog, finding a
beach, ploWing furrow through the
yielding sand and never coming to a
halt until it is stuck fast all but high
and dry, a helpless victim to the next
storm that comes screeching up the
coast to pile breakers against her and
crowd her even higher upon the beach.

a maximum Of home comforts with q
minimum Of endeavor. There Is no
doubt that in an institution Of this

are more popular than the dark eyed

eyed or gray eyed girl or boy may be
just as pretty, just as anna Die, just as
likely to achieve future elninence as
