BAN ON ALCOHOL IN TURKEY

The Turkish government has pro-

beers containing more than a certain.
proportion of alcohol. and the import

OF all beverages containing alcohol
not made from grape or grape pro-
ducts. Only at two or three special

poses permitted and special plants

there located and are under strict Of
fetal regulation.
The total abstinence from alcoholic
drink enjoined upon Mohammedans
is rocked in the principles of religion.
Mahomet is said to have been led to
put the prohibition OF intoxicants In
the Koran by an incident which &C.
Cured to himself. Passing through a
village one day. he was delighted at
the merriment of a crowd of persons
enjoying themselves with drinking at
wedding party; but being obliged to
return by the same way the next
morning. he was shocked to see the
ground drenched with blood Asking
the cause, he was told that the COM
pany, having drunk to excess, fell to
quarrelling. and slaughtered one an
other. From that time his mind was
made up; the mandate went forth
from Allah that no child Of the faith
full should touch wine on pain OF be-
ing shut out from the joys of Para
disc. The simple truth was. OF course,
that Mahomet foresaw there would be
no stability to the religion and EN-
pire he was building up II the use Of
ardent spirits was permitted to his
followers.

Fred ID, Grant to me the other day.
You may remember that the North
Carolina state election OF 1872, which
was held In the summer. attracted a
great deal OF attention In all parts OF
the country. That was because OF the
widespread belief that Il would fur
nish good indication OF how the
presidential election In November
would go-whethor my father would
be reelected. or Horace Greeley
would be victorious. At that time. you
know. North Carolina was under re-
construction. and In the control OF the
Republican party element. or .ele-
ments, | should say. for the fight was
between the two wings OF that party.
During the closing week or two OF
the Carolina fight father took little
vacation on one OF the Thousand
Islands. Our stay there ended the
very day OF the election and we took
the night train for Washington. father
especially having greatly enjoyed the
tonic atmosphere OF the ST. Lawrence.
