The turkish Way win Railroads.

The Turkish Way With Railroads
Railroads are running tWo-thirds Of
the way across this great Anatollan
plain, and the construction il being
pushed forward through the Taurus
mountains. There is q train a day In
each direction, carrying both passen-
gers and freight The III r built
on the European model, with compart-
ments. The trains do not run at night
and the first night out from Smyrna Is
spent, nolens volens, at a miserable
native inn where the proprietor thinks
It strange that guests are not willing
to crowd three into q room, and even
insist upon clean bedding. The train
starts at day-break, for Turkish time
is . constantly changing quantity. Sun
set is IL o'clock. 80 that clocks and
watches must change every day. The
natives generally take their time from
the cali to prayer in the minarets.
Eventually the time tables will be
printed "a Ia Frank" Is they call
things European out here.
The train from Smyrna connects
with that from Constantlnople at a
picturesque ancient city, Aphion Kara
Hissar, where there Is a fortress that
seems more impregnable and imposing
than Gibraltar. There is an hours
interval between trains. Undertaking
to spend part Of this time In the ba-
zaars, l returned ten or fifteen minutes
ahead of the time scheduled for the
departure Of the train. only to Q 1t
pulling out across the plain. I was
cheerfu1ly informed that as there was
very little freight that day, the train
had started ahead Of time! This
meant tw~enty-four hours in a city
where the only English-speaking per
son was the American pastor of the
American Board church.
When the Bagdad, Railway gets to
running, this city viii be an important
point, and a popular objective for tour
lists. 1t was here that the Turkish gov,
eminent undertook to colonize the
Moslem Cretans. It built houses for

Any Farmers Wife Can Produce Su-
perior Article by Following Few
Simple Precautions.

Every farmers wife can easily
make first-class butter by observing q
few simple precautions and by pur'
chasing q few simple and inexpensive
tools. Cleanliness Is Of paramount
importance at every turn in handling
milk and In making butter. The SEQ
ond paramount issue" Is to keep the
cream at the proper temperature and
to ripen 1t just right. Where the
churning Is done every day this Is
simple enough.
Every farmer who owns two or
three good milk cow ought to own a
good small hand separator. The sep
arator will get all the cream out OF
the milk and the milk can be fed
while sweet.
When the cream Is held for several
days 1t should be cooled immediate
ly and held at a temperature of about
sixty degrees: each succeeding skim
ming should be cooled to the same
temperature and added slowly and
thoroughly stirred to secure an even
mixture.
When we have q sufficient amount
OF cream to churh 1t should be held
at a temperature Of about seventy de-
grees for about twelve hours to ripen
It. The cream should have a mildly
acid taste and a family sour smell.
When the cream Is ripe 1t must be
cooled at once to the churning tenn
perature and churned. The churning
temperature, from about s. degrees
in the summer to about 10 degrees In
the winter. 1t is also affected by the
feed given the cows, the period of lac
tation, the breed Of the COWS and 9TH
er minor considerations.
Avoid the dasher churn or any con-
trivance inside the churn which tends
to break the butter grains. A small
box or barrel churn Is recommended.
Stop the churn when the granules
first begin to show. and II the but
ter seems to be too soft. add a small
quantity Of cold water and continue
tire churning until the butter grains
are about the size of oat OF wheat
grains. Wash out the buttermilk. add
about one ounce Of salt to the pound
of butter, and work the butter prop
1rly.

SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS
Writer ls Of Opinion That Proper Man
e Has Much 20 % With
the Matter.

The reason why a good many min.
listers Of fair ability are out of a job
Is because they do not want to visit,
because they are looking for a church
that will At their own notions rather
than trying to fit themselves to the
needs Of a church. 1t is true that a
good many men do not know how to
call. they do not know how to behave
when they get into a house, they do
not like 1t and will shirk It every
chance they get. Yet calling is the
secret Of success in almost every par
ish today-not the same kind of cali
Ing in all places. but some kind in
every place-and II our seminaries
had wisdom they would fit their stu
dents to do their work in the best
way, in the only way In which 1t can
be done in the country at least. Give
n year to sermon-making and three
years to making gentlemen In the
truest sense Of that word. Thus send
out men who can adapt themselves to
the needs Of the place where they are
called, and can thus serve human
souls, who. being as they are, want
to be better. The problem Of the
country church is to be solved by the
pastor rather than the preacher
University Leader.

Modern machinery win be brought In
to the country. New hotels and VII
lagos are already coming into exis-
tence. Irrigation is bound to follow
and the advent Of western fashions
will transform the life Of Asia Minor.
The linking Of C~onstantinople with the

The scenery in the Taurus noun
tains is beautiful beyond description.
The mountains Of Scotland r not
comparable with It, and It ranks with
the best Of the Rockies and Svitxer-
land. Some OF the peaks are snow
covered all the year round. There are
majestic gorges and precipices and
vistas. The natural beauties are en-
HANGED by frequent remains of antiQ-
mites.
In the narrowest part Of the Cilician
Gates is chiselled q tablet recording
the passage OF Marcus Aurelius. Ro-
man milestones dot the road, although
In some cases they have been altered
to bear Turkish numerals. The e.
nous Cilician Gates proper have
proved too dificult for the railway en-
sineers. SO they 60 through an upper
pass, which they consider somewhat
easier. At best the engineering diff
culties will be great. Once the noun
tains have been crossed, the railway
debouches upon the great Cilician
plain beyond which sparkles the Medt
terranean.
Nobody is willing to prophesy how
long it will take the railroad to cross
from Adana above the head Of the
Mediterranean to Aleppo and then
down into Mesopotamia. When that
day does come. It will be a notable
event in eastern politics as well as In
commerce. In the meantime, there
are those who say that the Germans
will never be permitted to complete 1t
so long as the British Empire lasts.

DROPPED TRUNKFuL OF e's
Peculiar Exhibit Used by Mrs. Bill
tops for the Reformation Of
Her Husband.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops to her
admiring husband, II have something
here that / desire you should see,"
and as she spoke she threw back the
lid of a big trunk in the storeroom.
The trunk was full, level full, Of q
vast number of little things Of uni.
form size that might have been oats
or grains Of wheat, but which upon q
little closer inspection seemed to be
small type letters.
"They are letters, Ezra" said Mrs.
Billtopg they are the g's you have
dropped In the last three years"
And the meaning Of this exhibit
was clear to Mr.. Billtops instantly;
he was not really a dull man; 1t was
not necessary to hit him with q maui
to make him understand things. Mr..
Billtops has always been a great man
for dropping his g's. Whether from
carelessness or laziness or economy
Of his speech. or whatever his prompt
ing, he has always said SEEM for
seeing, and bein' for being, and dom
for doing, and this has always dis
turbed Mrs. Billtops. Time and again
she has sought to get him in this re-
spect to mend his ways, but habit has
proved too strong for him, and 30
finally she resolved to give him an OBJ
ject lesson.
Three years ago, Ezra" she said,
"unbeknown to you I began gathering
up the gs you dropped in speaking.
I started out to keep them In an empty
fruit jar, but I soon found that
wouldn't do, in fact I was appalled,
by the number I collected.
II found that much as you had dis
turbed me in this way I had still
never realized how bad you were: so
l began storing them in this trunk,
and here you see, Ezra. a trunkful
of g's that you have dropped In three
years. Don't you think that is terri
ble?"
Mr.. Billtops freely admitted that 1t
certainly was; and then and there in
the presence Of that open trunk he
vowed a reform. II she would throw
away those g's, he said, right now, to
the last one, he would most earnestly
endeavor always to remember to make
1t ever impossible for her to start an
other collection.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be ma
tional agent for the American Red
Cross In handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for
50,000.0 900 seals, although It Il expect
ed that double that number will be
sold. The charge to local agents for
the seals will be 12h per cent. of the
gross proceeds, the national agent fur
nishing the seals and advertising ma
terial, and taking back all unsold seals
at the end of the season. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has approved Of
the design of the seal. Owing to the
fact that many people last year used
Red Cross seals for postage, the post
office department has given orders
that letters or packages bearing seals
on the face will not be carried
through the mails.

BY WILLIS T. ELLIS.

Tarsus, Asia Minor.-The main high.
ways of history run across Asia Minor.
This has been the route for uncounted
centuries Of the armies Of conquest,
and the peaceful caravans Of trade,
5ourneying from Asia to Europe or
from Europe to Asia. Here are the
footprints Of Cyrus and Darius, Nebu'
chadnezzar and Alexander the Great,
the Caesars, the Crusaders, the Turks
and the Arabs, and such distinguished
individual travellers as the Apostle
Paul. X
He who goes on foot or wheel today
will find himself travelling the iden'
&ical route built by the Romans, and
crossing old Roman bridges. AS he
notes the sites Of battles or camps, he
will be able to Q in the confguration
OF the ground why they were SC
chosen. The trip I have just made is
Q wonderful commentary upon the
books we studied in school and upon
the history Of the early Christian
church.
Here are the ruins Of many of the
great cities Of classic literature, the

Much Of 1t resembles the west In parts
of the United States and Canada. Its
ancient glory may be restored at any
time that an efficient government pro-
vides for afforestration and irrigation.
Perhaps the cities Of antiquity will
rise again. Sardis, where Croesus
made his name a synonym for riches.
is now a heap Of ruins wherein an *
petition from Princeton University is
digging.
Ancient Philadelphia, is now called
Aleshir and one may see the compare

long before the Christian era, will, In
the new day that may dawn for this
region, become q commodity for the
whole world.

In this fierce looking attendant. The
latter does, however, give a degree Of
prestige and the right of way when
passing caravans.
The khans along the way provide no
furniture and no food, other than an
occasional chicken. Usually a Euro

he carries his OWE cot bed and supply
Of insect powder. The experience
brings one quite close to native life

panions a sample Of mob law or else
w%orshipped them as Gods.
Tho Ancient East Still Survives.
The country is still pretty much as
It has been for millenniums. The cities
r o hidden under the debris of
ages, and the thriving commerce Of
that older day has disappeared along
with the marching legions. But the
wayside wells are identical with those
at which the thirsty soldiers used to
drink. The khans are built Of mud
and straw, and are after the same type
as were known to the travellers before
Christ; indeed they cannot be very
different from that primitive khan in
Bethlehem wherein was born the
worlds Conqueror.
The dust from passing caravans en-
grimes the traveller. The ~soft-footed
camels who now come swaying along
with serpent necks, are laden with
cans Of American kerosene. The bull
lock carts with their primitive solid
wooden wheels, bear material for the
construction of the Bagdad railway. A
bent stick still serve for a pillow.
Agriculture is largely by hand, and
the threshing floors Of scripture are a
frequent sight. PicturesqUely clad ma
tives move slowly along on donkeys.
I saw one young mother and child,
whose bearded husband and father
had stopped at a brook to give them
drink, who suggested strikingly the
picture Of the Flight into Egypt.
