The Bashi- bazouk,

Like each Of the various clans Of the
Kurds, the bashi-bazouk can easily be
distinguished by his costume. His
shoes, or ''yemenys" Cmeaning leather),
are red or black. His golfiike stock
ings, which leave the knee exposed.
are deliberately embroidered in black,
his short Turkish trousers are of
homespun, while about his waist is a
short sash Of wool or silk, surmounted
by a leather belt in rich colors and
embossed in red. This is divided into
three or four sections, III which he
keeps his revolver. his chibouk, or pipe,
and his yataghan, always kept sharp.
The bashi-bazouks never carry dag
gers, as the Circassians do A car
fridge box hangs from the side, as also
q small silver sDuffbox. They wear
two jackets, the under one with short
sleeves and the outside one with long.
At the elbow is an opening in which
they carry in a leather bag written
quotations from the Koran as a tails
man to protect them from the bullets
of the adversary. About the neck is a
chain of silver coins, from which is
suspended a powder box.

Newspaper Records Not Lasting.

| Newspaper Records Not Lasting.
Owing to the use of wood pulp in
the manufacture of print paper, it is
asserted that the preservation of
| newspapers will not be possible for
more than limited number of years.
Rag paper, which was formerly en-
ployed, was of course, much more
durable, but owing to the scarcity
and consequent high price of the
material, substitute had to be
found. Wood pulp answers admir-
ably for temporary purposes; it fails
when it comes to the test of time.
Librarian Hill of the Brooklyn IL
brary, who has been making an in
vestigation, states that the existence
of a periodical printed on wood pulp
paper is not likely to be more than
so years. This means, he says, that
the material for history contained in
the newspaper will be unavailable
within the period mentioned and that
all such historical records will dis
appear. Mr.. Hill is free to remark
that we can very well bear the loss
of a great many books printed on
wood pulp paper, but the loss of
newspapers containing the news of
the day, he thinks, would be felt
for all time.
The Christian Science Monitor
comments that it is possible the
chemist may come to our aid and
render the wood pulp more lasting.
Or we may have to turn to other
discoveries. Cotton and corn have
been resorted to in attempts to
solve the paper problem. Paper has
been made from both these materials.
In the case of the former it is con-
tended that the fiber of the cotton
plants limb and stalk is stronger
than the fiber of spruce wood, and
not much weaker than that of fax.
This being true, the cotton stalk pa
per should in strength and texture,
take its place between ordinary wood
pulp paper and the higher grades of
linen paper. It's durability may prove
greater than that made of wood.
The manufacture of paper from
cotton and corn stalks has not as
yet, apparently, reached the success
full commercial stage and the field is
still open to the inventor and discov-
erer.

The Cold STORAGE Evil

There is no doubt that the cold stor-
age of perishable food products is use
full and when not carried to an unwar-
rantable extent is harmless, but the
belief prevails that cold storage is
being made use of by great combina-
Jtions to- render articles of food scarce
and to keep up their prices.
Recently in the New York legisIa-
ture a bill was introduced restricting
the practice of cold storage so as to
prevent as far as possible it's use
against public interests. Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts, who has never been
known as an antitrust man, the other
day introduced a bill in the senate
looking to the regulation of this evil
The bill proposes a time limit to cold
storage and certain conditions tending
TO lessen tAe ability of combinations or
individuals to buy up products and
keep them in cold storage in sufficient
quantities and a sufficient length of
time TO affect prices.
The problem may be one somewhat
difficult to deal with, but of its impor~
lance there can be no reasonable
doubt. The disposition these days is
for the large moneyed interests to
corner every article OF necessity and
to form combinations to keep up
prices, thus to limit production for a
given length of time and to establish
arbitrary prices and rates in order to
fleece the public to the extent of their
ability to pay for the necessaries of
life. Such an evil can not be stopped
too. soon

the most rock-ribbed republican dis
tTiet in the state, turns its republican
majority OF $4,000 into a majority of
6.640 for a democratic candidate, even
people in the immediate neighborhood
perceive that something has happened.
There is hardly another quarter of the
union in which such an overturn
would compel more attention-unless
Pennsylvania should go democratic.
The fight was clearly, almost exclu-
Esiveiy, over the tariff. New England
manufacturers, as we have several
times remarked, got more favors in
the Payne law than any other section.
Aldrich and Lodge took excellent care
of their protected and would-be pro-
tected neighbors. II high protection
is the universal sort of a boon its
priests proclaim. then New England
ought to be grateful and happy. Yet
here is a thoroughly representative
New England district fairly bowling
its population of the law and sending
down to Washington, Eugene n. Foss,
who is far more unwelcome to Lodge
and Aldrich than a regular democrat
would be, for he was the original Mas
sachusetts low-tariff insurgent.
OF course, one is reminded of the
democratic, victories of 20 years ago
in New England, wor. like this one,
on the tariff issue. But none of these
victories was as remarkable as this.
Strong as the low-tariff sentiment then
showed itself. it had not such strength,
such violence, as it now displays.
Having found the standpat gentry at
Washington a trifle unresponsive to
ordinary signs of remonstrance, the
Old Colony district has bethought
itself of the western usage of shooting
mans hat of to attract his atten-
tion. Old Massachusetts has spoken
again, and this time if anybody fails
to understand its remark, it won't be
because It has whispered or num-
bled.

Winters stood trying to fix his mind
on what was being said. The plan
found a Iodgment in his brain, but
that was all. When the speaker had
finished Winters pointed to the door
and said:

The man lost no time in obeying the
order, but before leaving at the front

Winters as soon as the door was
closed threw himself down on a chair,
held his head in his hands and Sob

But he did not long remain in this
position. He must have air; he must
get himself in a mood to think. In
his excited condition he dared not
meet his wife, fearing that he might
do something terrible. He went out
into the street and began TO walk, he
cared not where, so that he might re-

young Cranston had said respecting
his wife's innocence were true he
cared nothing for her having given
him money. But every man, If he has
a spark of honor In him, will assert
the innocence of the woman with
whom he has become involved. If
Della cared enough for this worthless
creature to give him money criminal
ity was sure to follow.
He walked an hour before he could
make up his mind to anything, then
decided that he must have a friend to
counsel with. Though it was after

Norman Winters left the opera at
II, went to his club, lounged there till
II and started home. He had begged
his wife to go with him TO the opera,
but she had refused on the ground of
having headache.
Winters had noticed of late a dis
position on the part of his wife to
permit him to go where he liked, pro
vided he would permit her to remain
at home She had never taken an in
terest in the gay world, preferring a
few chosen friends to people of fash
ion. He believed she was keeping a
secret from him. If given money to
spend for luxuries the luxuries were
not purchased. What did she do with
the money?
When he reached home he put his
latchkey into the lock, pushed open
the front door, entered the hall, which
was dimly lighted, and hung his hat
and light coat that had covered his
evening dress in a hall closet. Then
he thought he would go into the din
ing room for a glass of water. Sud
denly q man confronted him. He was
in evening dress.
"Well. sir, what are you doing in my

Speak low" he said. Would you
compromise your wife-disgrace her
before the world? II you would you
do not respect her as 1 do. Let US
settle this matter without her knowing
anything about it."
Winters was horror stricken. He
stood looking at the man with eyes
starting from his head, his face ashen,
a shudder passing over his body.
"You have heard of Cranston, sup
pose?" said the intruder.
Winters did not hear. His mind was
filed with the horror of his wife's
infidelity.
"But you have never seen him.

Still there was no reply.
