The Bashi-b axouk.

Like each OF the various clans Of the
Kurds. the bashi-bazouk can easily be
distinguished by his costume His
shoes. or ''yemenys" (meaning leather,,
are red or black. His golflike 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, In 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
a small silver snuffbox. 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.

Buys Useless Presents.

What to do with superfiuous pres
ents has always been an interesting
question after Christmas, engagement
parties and weddings. The trick of
saving those that are useless and CIV
Ing them TO friends when the occasion
arises has its dangerous points.
On the east side In an insignificant
back room man Is doing a rushing
business buying up useless wedding
gifts. He reads the papers carefully
every day. A list of marriages is
made. and the man sends a letter tc
the bride. 1t reads something like
this:
Dear Madam-You have probably
received a number of gifts that YOU
have no use for. II you will send me
line | shall be glad to call and look
them over. | pay the highest prices
for them"
Sometimes the bride is deeply In.
suited. but usually the dealer gets a
reply. He. In turn sells his stock to
east side folks at very handsome

Plaster patches were introduced In
England in the reign OF Edward VI.

fashion considered her toilet complete

box Of patches cut In her favorite de-

so far that party spirit was symbo-
