Hatpin Holder.

Here is a suggestion for making hat
pin holder at a very trif1ing cost.
Take round pasteboard box, such as
raw oysters are sent home in Zone quart
siZe). remove the lid and cover the sides
of the box with any color lawn or silk,
ill box with cork dust.
Now cut a circular piece of the color
and cover it with white net or lace.
Turn in edges and whip neatly around
top of box and finish with a strip of lace
and bunch of scent ribbon on side.
This is a good way to use up small
scraps of lace, lawn, and ribbon, which
every woman has in her sCrapbox. and
really makes Il very pretty and useful

The boxes cost. . cents apiece and your
grocer will give up the cork dust.

BlUECOATS' BUNGALOW.
Policemen of Coney Island Enjoy
Luxuries of Wealthy.

One of tine reasons WHY policemen
throughout the city are anxious this
year to be retailed To the Coney Island
precinct has just Become known.
Scores of tine bluecoats doing duty on
the island, headed by Captain Michael
Calvin. who is in charge of the station,
are enjoying all the comforts of the
wealthy at small expense. They have
the island, headed by Captain Michael
CALVIN, who is in charge of the station.
! established a bungalow colony over
near Sea Gate, between Surf avenue
and the ocean, and here they live Il
merry. care-free life when off duty.
They can take dip in the surf. which
is at their trent or back doors. when
ever they SO desire, without the for
| mality Of going to clearinghouse and
waiting in line for a room, and they
enjoy the cooling breezes from the At
| lantc just as much as the fashionable
| sojourners at Newport. Bar Harbor or
| Nara gansett.
Few of the streets in the bungalow
! section are cut through, and the little
! wooden shacks or tents are erected
here and there, Without any semblance
of order, just as the fancy of the owner
dictates. Some of the Bungalows are
quite large and accommodate several
families. Numbers of bachelor police
men room together in one big bunga-
low, while others, who have families
may occupy separate bungalows or
tents.
One of the Nabobs of the colony is
Captain Calvin. His bungalow is
more pretentious than the others and
contains as many rooms as some city
apartments. 1t is freshly painted and
looks neat and well-kept from the out
| side. The front of the bungalow faces
| on the ocean and at high tide sea
| comes up to the front door. There is q
| flight of wooden steps leading up to
| the door, and these steps are covered
at flood tide. Ingress and egress is
then made through the rear door.
There are many policemen DESTROYS
| of living near the Seashore, but they
| felt that they could not bear the en-
peuse OF a bungalow. They decided to
| chip in and rent suitable places, where
numbers of them could be accommo~
dated OH the community plan. This
was DONE and now there are several
| big bungalows that house from six to
a dozen bluecoats. There is u cool,
ard a maid of all work IL each hunga-
| low, and these two servants look after
| the wants of all the dwellers.-New

TURKEY WAKING UP.
Young Turks Prodding Empire and
improvements Go on Apace.

It is unlikely that many people in this
country fully realize what change the
Else of the Young Turks to political
power has made in the Turkish empire.
From the moment the old sultan was
taken from the throne the movement to
modernize the country takes date and
every official report reaching the United
states government but adds to the amaz-
ing extent of the movement.
one day last week the State Depart
nent received reports from four Ameri-
can consuls in as many Turkish cities.
| and each related almost exclusively to
| the plans of the municipalities for the in
PRODUCTION of the agencies of civilization
| hitherto unknown there. A city of 200
009 inhabitants, within a stones throw of
the Mediterranean. had no street cars,
sewers, electric lights, gas, water works,
| telephones, nor street paving; now it is
suddenly in the market for all these
things and eager to do business. This is
what the consul at Aleppo reported OF
| that place.
The lighting system of the city, said
| the consul, lis still the old kerosene
| lamp. 1t is to give way to electricity. A
| city telephone exchange is to be installed
| complete line of street railways will be
constructed. There are lacking water
works, Il gas plant, sewerage system,
fire department, and many other lesser
requirements, and the authorities are
now ready to grant concessions the mo-
n.ent they are approached by parties able
to furnish the necessary guarantees in
good faith.
The consul at Bagdad said the city
council has just negotiated loan of
$4,000 for municipal improvement pur-
poses, and that many other Turkish cities
are contemplating loans for the same
purpose.
Excellent security and fair terms are
To he offered" he added. The consul at
Saloniki reported that the city was then
negotiating for a loan of $500, 800. to be
spent in widening certain streets that the
street railway might be extended to meet
the fast needed requirements of the
town"
Of course, this sudden transition of an
entire, country from the Middle Ages to
the 10th century has brought horde of
irresponsible spectators to Turkey. but
the Turk is far from being a fool. and
generally needs but one lesson to learn
this one The government has spread
abroad everywhere the following official
notice.;
Experience has shown that a certain
number of applicants for concessi ms do
not possess either the financial means OF
| the technical knowledge necessary. and
| that their only object Is to sell to the
| highest bidder the contracts they seek to
obtain. This procedure is alike contrary
TO the interests of the state, of serious
applicants. and of the public. The minis
ter of commerce and public works has
decided to take under consideration only
such proposals as emanate from petsons
who possess the necessary technical -

THE COURT NEWsMAN.
Money in Job Of Telling Of Doings Of
British Royalty

The official news of the comings and
eoinss of the king and queen, the
names of their visitors. the description
Of their dresses at court and other in
formation originating in the royal pal
aces is distributed by the Court Cir
cular. There is an official reporter
called the court newsman, who gets M
the circular every day and distributes
it To the London and provincial news
papers and press associations.
The newspapers have to pay for the
Court Circular and it is believed the
court newsmar makes as mach as

names Of any of his friends happened

weekly newspaper says of the
| origin Of the Court Circular that like
50 many other useful institutions the
court Circular arose out of an abuse.
For drnS the days wnen George "
WAS prince regent So much gossip and
scandal concerning the royal family
Crept into tn press that the prince
was driven To appeal To his friend Sir
Richard Birnic to find someone who
would draw UP day by day an anthem
tic, dignitied and discreet epitome Of
the doings of the court and send it to
the press.
In the light of modern journalism it
is particularly interesting to note that
Sir Richard Brnio's choice for the first
editor Of the Court Circular fell upon
an OLD family retainer commonly
known as Old Townsend. who prior to
his appointment as court news vender
had been a shoeblack, a coal HEAVIER. Il
turnkey at Newgate. and an officer at
Tow street police station. Neverthe-
less old Townsend performed his Eea
duties so successfully that the Court
| Circular was very soon adopted by al
most every court in Europe.-R"ho-

But as the old captain nears the
