A TURKISH LEGEND.
The Red Rose Sprans From a Drop Of
Mohammed's Blood

"a truly religious Turk looks upon
the rose with great reverence" said
a florist. ''The rose is beyond ques-
ton the prettiest flower that blooms,
and it was so considered by the Turks
many years before the conquest OF
Granada. There is a religious legend
generally believed In throughout Tur-
key that the red rose sprang from a
drop of the great prophet Mohammed's
blood Everything beautiful in nature
is ascribed to him. The Turks, there
fore, have great reverence for the
flower and allow it to bloom and die
untouched, except on state occasions
and for the purpose of making rose
water.
After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church
until the walls were cleansed and
washed with rosewater and thus puri-
fed by the blood of the prophet. II

pose A Turk whose conscience Is
stung by some act or deed he has com.

to the rose to appease the wrath OF
the prophet and Allah.

Charles Dickens once wrote to
friend: II have distinguished myself

Later expatiated to the member for
Marylebone, thinking him to be an
Irish member, on the contemplate
character of the Marylebone constit-
uency and the Marv lebone representa-

Two such mishaps in one evening
were enough to reduce the most brill
liant talker to the condition of the
three inside passengers Of a London
bound coach who beguiled the tedium
Of the journey from Southampton by
discussing the dement's of William
Cobbett until one of the party went SO
far as to assert that the object Of their
denunciation was a domestic tyrant,
given to beating his wife.
Much to his dismay the solitary wo-
man passenger. who had hitherto sat
a silent listener. remarked:
Pardon me, sir A kinder husband
and father never breathed. And
ought to know, for l am William Cob

Mr.. Giles Of Virginia and Judge Du-
val of Maryland, members Of congress
during Washington's administration,
boarded at the house of a Mrs. Glib
bon, whose daughters were well on in
years and remarkable for laxative
ness.
When Jefferson became president
Duval was comptroller Of the treasury
and Giles senator Meeting one day
in Washington, they fell to chatting
over old times, and the senator asked
the comptroller If he knew what had
become of ''that cackling old maid,
Jenny Gibbon."
"She is Mrs. Duval, SIR" was the
unexpected reply.
Giles did not attempt to mend mat
tiers, as a certain Mr.. Tuberville I'M
wisely did. Happening to observe to
a fellow guest that the lady who had
sat at his right hand at dinner was the
ugliest woman he had ever beheld, the
person addressed expressed his regret
that he should think his wife SO i'll

Mortified Tuberville 81 meant the lady

A SECOND MEETING.

The Earl Of stanhope and the Trust
Ing Hishwayman.
One night when the Earl of Stanhope
was walking alone In the Kentish
lanes man jumped out of the hedge,
leveled q pistol and demanded his
purse.
MY good man, have no money
with me-" said Lord Stanhope In his
remarkably slow tones. The robber
laid hands on mis- watch.
NO" Lord Stanhope went on; "that
watch You must not have. 1t was Civ
en- to me by one I love. 1t is worth
&1O0. If you win trust me, viii go
back to Chevening and bring f10O
note and place it In the hollow of that
tree I cannot lose my watch"
The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord Stan.
hope was at city dinner, and next to
him sat London alderman of great
wealth, a man widely respected. He
and the earl talked of many things
and found each other mutually enter
tanning.
Next day Lord Stanhope received 9
letter, out Of which dropped a f1OG
note TT was your lordship's kind
loan OF this sum-" said the letter, ''that
started me in life and enabled me tt
have the honor of sitting next to you
lordship at dinner"
A strange story, but the Stanhopes
are q strange race, and things harper
to them that never did or could occul
to other people.-London Spectator.

SPECIALIZING ON MARGIN.
American and English Ways Of Doing
Ii Are Very Different

American and English Ways Of Doing
1t Are Very Different.
In America Spectators capital
with all exception to be noted below
is necessarily at least 1.-The size of his
margin In his brokers' hands. though
It Is to be feared that in only too many
instances it is just this and pothing
more
On the London Stock Exchange an
other method prevails which, says
Moody's Magazine. 1t Is probable has
done more In the long ago past to give
stock speculation Its bad name than
all the episodes of an unsavory nature
which have ever occurred on Ameri-
can exchanges. In London after the
inevitable Introduction to broker the
new customer gives his order. but
makes no deposit at all
The broker Is supposed to learn
something Of his new clients means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself Twice a month the
English have what they call their set
Element days. A customer long Of a
stock whose commitment has gone
somewhat against him is then required
to pay the differences. as they are
called. between bis purchase price and
the current quotation
He must also pay charge called a
contango for holding the settlement

mffmnnf Ac a of
way Of doing business a Spectator
may be trading on few points mar
gin In reality or, in fact, on no margin
at all He may be utterly penniless
without the broker knowing 1t.
That this method works Out with
fewer losses in England than 1t would
do here Is due to the fact that the
social and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us. and also that an intro
duction means more there than here,
as the introducer Is regarded as to a
certain extent responsible morally for
the business department Of his friend
1t is worth while observing (and this
is the exception referred to aboveI
that In certain instances the methods
pursued in American stock exchange
houses are the same as those obtaining
in London. Little as the fact Is known,
it is not an unfrequent custom for very
wealthy spectators to have no fixed
margin or even no margin at all with
their brokers.
If man Of this sort loses on a COM
mitment he sends his broker check
for the loss. If be wins his brokers
remit to him for his gains The bro
ker dislikes to offend very powerful

hence takes risks with his account

with the account of smaller men. In

Rules of Sleep.

Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep, and
time saved" from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body
and estate. Give yourself, your chill
dren, your servants-give all that are
under you-the fullest amount of sleep
they will take by compelling them to
go to bed at some regular early hour
and to rise in the morning the moment
they awake, and within fortnight ma
ture, with almost the regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the sys
tenn. That is the only safe and sufi-
cient rule, and, as to the question how
much sleep any one requires. each
must be rule for himself. Great ma
ture will never fail to write it out to
the observer under the regulations Just

The author Of Heroes of Modern
Crusades," the Rev Edward Gilliat,
M. A., at one time master of Harrow
school, says in his book that he had
years ago the privilege of meeting the
king of the Quiah country. Tetti Aga
masong, at Harrow. The Quiah king
had been educated at St Augustine's
college, Canterbury. and was able to
lecture to the Harrovians in good Eng
lish. In his lecture he told a quaint
story which brings one nearer to the
weird lives of the Quiahs, small ag-
ricultural and trading tribe of inof-
fensive characters on the west coast
Of Africa.
"In my country" said the king, 1--WE
