The Turkish soIcier's FataIism.

The lethargy of mind which is the
mental habit of the Turkish soldier
the personal expression Of fatalism-is
a most valuable quality in its way. for
it means that its possessor is always
cool and collected, grumbles little and
has marvellous endurance. 1t Is alien
to all forms of panic. just as it is alien
to conspicuous elan. If the Turkish
soldier never goes very fast, he never
goes very slow. Except by the best
trained or most dashing troops he is

The Serpent's Venom.

A physician while talking with a
group of friends remarked: 1T is com
mon to hear people speak about poi
sonOus Serpents. Serpents are never
poisonous; they are venomous. A
poison cannot be taken internally with
out bad effects; a venom can. Veuoms
to be effective have to be injected di-
rectly into the circulation, and this is
the manner in which the snake kills.
Their venom taken internally is in

while esprit de corps is an admir-.
able sentiment, it is not wise to let
sentiment overrule hard sense in bus.

chants, Mr.. John Wanamaker, who
stnrdily rejected all oyertures to join
with the seceders.
"His perspicacity enabled him to
perceive that members of the associa-
ton would be the only sufferers from
the cessation Of advertising in the
Herald, which is read in the very cir
Gle of readers that they desired to
reach. Therefore he not only resisted
all efforts to induce him to side with
the association, but increased his adj
vertising in the Herald and inaugural
ed the Evening Telegram, new form
of advertising by inserting business
announcements, original in substance
and style.
THAT his genius for affairs guided
him Alright is significantly proved by
the fact that the firms named above,
who for a time withdrew, have reap
peared in the Herald's advertising col
umns."
