Sessions Of Parliament.

Inc sessions OF the Iurklsn parliament,
which are held in another palace on the
Bosphorus. are conducted much like those
OF other legislative bodies. They are sup
posed to begin at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing.
But punctuality is not considered a
cardinal virtue among orientals It ia
usually half an hour and sometimes
longer before business is undertaken.
There is recess for luncheon for an
hour or two. Afterward the sessions
continue until dark.

pulpit of the presiding officer, reached

He conducts the proceedings with gentle
tolerance. Instead Of hammering a block

Below him, in a. semi-circular pen, are
the clerks. In front of them is a pulpit
or tribune. from which speeches are de-
livered in debate.
A member can speak from his own seat
only by unanimous consent. One ob1ec-
tion will send him to the tribune, where
he faces the assembly during his remarks
Around the tribune are movable tables

bridge which connects Galata and STAN

Abdul Aziz, who was sultan from 1881 to
1870, and was the best ruler Turkey has
known for centuries He intended It for

years and died there in a. most tragic

Much Sickness Now.

In the opinion of one leading Ham
mond physician the old theory. that an
open winter is more detrimental TO the
general health than closed winter Is
controverted by the fact that there is
considerable sickness in Hammond at
the present time. While there is no
epidemic of any form there is neverthe-
less considerable sickness due to grip
and pneumonia All the doctors who
were asked relative the state of the
public's health say that they are ex-
centionalIv busy, and ascribe this to
the weather The open weather thai
has prevailed of late is responsible as
the average was quite low during the
severe cold spell.
