Means of Kidding City of Birds Be
comes n Municipal Problem.
Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons. and the authorities are at a
loss to know what to do to mitigate
the nuisance. The birds, which mum
Der some thousands, have a privileged
existence; no body molests them in
any way, so that they flourish and in
crease rapidly.
Recently SO many complaints have
been received from house owners of
the dirty condition of the facades of
buildings caused by the pigeons. that
the Vienna magistracy decided some
thing must be done to reduce the num-
Der. III their perplexity the magis-
tracy appealed to the Vienna Society
for the Protection of Animals to aid
them in legal slaughter of the Of
Tending birds, always having regard,
however, TO the provisions of the new
birds protection law
The society answered that it would
be hardly consistent with the princi-
pies of friendliness toward animals to
engage in a massacre of pigeons and
therefore they must reject the official
appeal.
The magistracy are now wrestling
with the problem alone. Perhaps the
unemployed of Vienna might help
them.

Has Been Paved with Pie.
Everybody with taste for pastry or
a weakness for sweets will hail with
Joy the explanation of Smith Ely,
mayor of old New York city in 1877
IS and now IS years old, as to his pro-
longed life.
Sweets did It," said Mr.. Ely in an
article contributed to Medico-Legal
Journal. Il don't know that this diet
of sweets has benefited my disposition,
but it has given me strength to under
go the nervous strain and excitement
of political career in Albany, Wash
ington and New York that would have
shortened the existence of beef eater.
My parents, like many others" says
Mr.. Ely, thought that sweets of any
sort were unwholesome for children,
and l enjoyed only such things in my
childhood within strict limitations.
Consequently, when | attained the age
of Is and found employment down
town, with permission to dine as
pleased, l made up for lost time. My
regular meal for many months con-
sisted of three or four pieces of bak-
er's pie. At all periods of my life the
dessert has almost always been the
better part of the meal.
Il resided for more than twenty
years in the neighborhood of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, and during all that Pc
riod il was nv regular habit on nv
way home from clubs and entertain
ments, to stop at Maillard's and have
a meringue glace, followed by a cup
of hot chocolate with whipped cream.
1T has been, and still is, my habit
to place lump of confectionery of
some sort in my mouth upon retiring
for the night"

TWO KINDS OF TURKS.

Hospitality the Characteristic of the
Man of the People.
Turks, however, are of two kinds
the government official and the man
of the people-and of these the one is
the very antithesis of the other. Just
as the former is false, cruel, servile,
arrogant and unjust, so is the latter
simple, honorable and hospitable, says
a writer in Golfers. Hospitality, in
deed, is the Turks greatest virtue
Should you travel among the true
Turks in Asia Minor you will find, in
come in every house. The chief men
of the village will dispute with each
other for the honor of being your host,
and he who has won that privilege is
envied by his neighbors. If not rich
enough to afford "moussafir odassi,
or guest chamber, he will place his
own room at your disposal; but wbeF-
ever you may lodge, you will always
find in large Turkish letters this ira
ditional inscription: Here is received
the stranger! In the name of God!
the compassionate the merciful!,"
Nor are introductions necessary.
Whatever your creed or condition, your
rank or your country, whether Chris
tian or Moslem, wealthy or poor, you
will be lodged and entertained as long
as you choose to remain. While a
guest you are not only not allowed to
expend penny, but are not even per-
mitted to offer a Tip" to the serv-
ants. for this would be considered a
great insult to your host. Nor must it
be supposed that this is true only of
the rich or the well-to-do; it is char
acteristic also of the poorest peas
ants. They do not wait simply to re
ceive you; they will go out to find
you. In many villages a guest cham
