The Turkish Army.

Every Mahammedan subject in Turkey is liable to service, and re- mains liable for 25 years. At 21 the young Turk enters the active army, the Nizam, and remains in it for three years. He must serve six years in the reserve. called the Tchtrad, and sfter this he remains nine years in the army reserve, called the Redif which resembles the German Land wehr. This reserve has a second line called the Mustafls. in which the cit isen liable to service Is finally en- rolled.
 Every year produces about 10o,0oe men liable to service and of this num- Der 10000 ars snrollsA e recruits. Tho remainder. that is to say, the least effective. are given drill. and they may perhaps be compared with the extra reservists of the first class in Germany. They finally find their way into the Redif. Altogether. Turr key can place q million men in the field, and as far as material Is oon- { srned. Germ9n officers who have ia- structed Fur lish troops declare that ...sre is not an army in the world that would not rejoice to get such men.

QUEER TRIO OF BIRDS
TRUMPETER, SECRETARY AND
 kAMICHi ALL USEFUL.
reathered Destroyers of Snakes, Scorpions and Other Noxious crea. lures That tnfest South Amer.
 tea and Southern Africa.

The trumpeter bird Is the ragpicke, of the woods and swamps of Guiana where he is always at work at his trade, with his stomach for a pack ana his bill for hook. He performs most useful but most extraordinary
 ervice, deyouring perfect multitude 1f snakes, frogs. scorpions, spiders, liz. lrds and the like creatures. But this terrible bird can be made perfectly tame.
 On the Guiana plantations he may be seen fraternizing with the chickens, ducks and turkeys, accompanying them in their walks, defending them from their enemies, separating quarrelers with strokes of his bill, sustaining the young and the feeble and waking the
 echoes with his trumpet while he brings home his flock at night. The trumpeter is as handsome as he is useful. Noble and naughty in his aspect, he raises himself up on his long, yellow gathered legs and seems to say. q am the trumpeter, the scourse of the reptiles and the pro- teCtOl OI the ROCKS.
 In southern Africa there is another great eXterminator of reptiles, the snake eater, or secretary bird, mag nifcent creature that attacks the '9r%tft serpents, making shield of his wires ard sword of his beak. The name of secretary bird" is de rived from the plumes projecting backward from its head which look like quill pens carried behind ones ear.
 In South America, in the very neigh borhood of the trumpeter's home, there lives the Kamichi or Kamiki, which wears sharp horn projecting from it's forehead and murderous spur upon each of it's wings With these 'hree weapons the serpents that he at. aacks are powerless against him and 're easily put to death.
 The secretary bird, the Kamichi and !he trumpeter form valiant and use- full trio. The trumpeter has two mer- its above the Others-the ease with which he can be domesticated and his talent.
 The natives have saying that he has swallowed a cornet. Whether promenading or wa making, he fills the air with his trumpet calls, and at the sound of his voice of brass the reptiles take to flight.

The Public Shakespeare Wrote Fo,


 Literary fame as a dramatist trou- bled Shapespeare not; but present ne cessities could not be forgotten; chief among them the necessity of pleasing hia public. His average public, the one he had chiefly in view, whose av- craze heart and mind he had to touch and delight, was that of the Globe, a large, much-frequented house which drew popular audie rces, and where accidentally some ambassador might appear; but the fate of the play would depend not upon the ambassadors ap. piause or some learned critics blame, but on the impression of the crowd; 6 boister,us crowd, warm-hearted, full blooded, of unbounded patriotism, a lover of extremes, now relishing the sight of tortlres, now moved at the death of fly, lover of the improb- able, of unexpected changes, of coarse bufooneries, bubbles, common witt. cisms easy to und arstand, of loud noises of any sort, bells, trumpets. cannon: men, all Of them, of an en- cyclopaedic ignorance.-From Lee ture, What to Exaect of Shakes

SILK MADE FROM WOOD PULP
Material Is Brought From Norway and Manufacture ls Carried On In
 United States.

In the manufacture of artificial
 silk, wood pulp from Norway is util.
 fixed, being shipped here in bales, ac. Journal. This pulp is cut into thin sheets, each individual sheet is care fully weighed and certain quantity placed in metal tank for chemical treatment
 The various chemical solutions used are mixed in huge iron tanks, from which they are pumped under ground through series of lead pipes to the departments requiring the various compounds. This pulp having been macerated and digested. is submitted to still further chemical action under certain fixed temperatures which are not allowed to vary even one-half of a degree
 When it is ready for final trans formation into silk the solution close ly resembles molasses in color and consistency At this stage it is pump ed from the tanks to the spinning frames. Here specially constructed pumps are attached to each spindle which carefully measures out the re quired quantity of the solution.
 This is forced through tubes with an outlet containing just as many perforations as there are to be fila ments in the thread. Through these it Is passed to tank running the length Of the frame and containing a chem 1cal mixture which fixes the solution instantaneously into thread.
 This strand is carried over a wheel down through tuba to rapidly re- volving spindle; the rate of speed Is about 5000 revolutions minute From this the strands are afterward unwound on reels into skeins The air in the spinning room is complete ly changed every three minutes being pumped off through hoods placed over each of the spinning frames This is done to remove any possible fumes and to- provide thorough ventilation for the operatives.
 One of the interesting features in connection with the entire operation is the fact tat the yarn is handled as little as possible The specially constructed stoves and bleaching ar arrangements are ideal, and when the skeins are finally carried to the large drying room on the fifth floor one marvels at the change which has SO rapidly taken place. From here they are taken to the sorting room, where each individual skein is carefully ex- amined by skilled operators.

The Piq Tall Not Chinese.

If the Chinese revolution triumphs and the "pig-taiF' goes at last, that VII be an outward and visible sign both of reform and of emancipation from Manchu rule. For it must be remembered that what all the modern world regards as t'e chief distin- gushing mark of 'le Chinaman is not Chinese at all. but 8 badge ot submission to the " nchus not three centuries old.

Office H dina in China.

In some respects the Chinese ap pear to have distinct advantages over us. For instance. when a Chinese pub lie office, holder has failed to give satisfaction in his oflileholding- when he has shown that he is the wrong man in the right place--he is invited to commit suicide, so that a better servant of the people may sue ceed him. The request is not mere formality. When it is made in the proper way and backed by a proper expression of public opinion 1t has all the force of decision of the supreme ~-nrt. The man who is condemned nas no escape save flight, and 1T he runs away his family is forever dis Sracsd and degraded.
 If we could import this Chinese GUS tom there would undoubtedly bs . great improvement in the general hssiness. of ofncs holding. It would make undertaking almost unneces- sary, and senatorial investigations would become obsolete Moreover, 1t would give tho omoe . real chance to seek the man. The task of the voter would be simplifed. because there would cease to be a multiplicity of candidates for each office. If the Chi nese system could be adopted with. out the accompaniment of tile pigtlil 1t might be worth trying.

Elizabeth City Sept. 28.-Visitors
from Manteo yesterday brought the
information that the gasoline launch
Edna May, was destroyed by fire at
5 O'Clock at her dock, Engineer Ca
sey and several Of the passengers
were badly burned, but there were
no fatal injuries sustained SO far as
is thought.
The launch was mooTed at her
dock at Manteo and was preparing
to start on her regular trip to Hat
teras. A few minutes before 5 O'Clock
the regular schedule time for sailing
there was an escapement of gas and
within twinkling the small boat
was covered with flames and the
crew and passengers We're thrown
into a panic. The crew did ell they
could to assist the passengers from
danger and Engineer Casey YVES bad
ly scaIded about the face and hands
Although brave fight against the
fire was put up. the launch was soon
burned to the waters edge and prov
ed a total loss. Some slight insur-
ance was carried but the loss to the
owner of the vessel T. S. Meekins
of Manteo. was about $500 or more.
A new steamer will be put on the
run from Manteo to Hatteras and 1t
is understood here that the schedule

The Hubbard Case Resembles rhaw,.

Lynchburg, Va.,. Sept. 28.-John L.
Lee, the criminal lawyer who defend
ed Mayor McCue, of Charlottesville,
and Judge w. G. Loving, of Nelson
county, and who was identified with
the defense in some of the Hargis
cases in Kentucky, will be leading
counsel for Ben Hubbard, who so bru-
tally murdered Dr. j. A. Petit in
Nelsos county Monday Insanity will
be the defense's plea, and it is
though the defense will have a long
list of insane relatives of the prison
er to support this plea.
1t was learned today that one Of
the first of these was a internal an
cestor, who, years ago, in A1bemarle
county, murdered a man in almost
identically the same way Dr. Petit
was murdered Monday This man was
defended at his trial by Patrick
Henry, the noted Virginia states
man.
The defense will not be ready for
trial on October 9Th, but will surely
ask for continuance. Attorney Lee
was Hubard's roommate at high
school three decades ago, sleeping
with him through two sessions This
is the third member of Mr.. Lees
class that he has been called upon
to defend for murder, one of whom
was Judge Loving who killed young
Estes in Nelson county several years
ago and was acquitted under the ''un-
written law plea. Lewis Brown, of
Lovingston, will be associated with
Lee for the defense. While counsel
has been retained, none of Hubard's
relatives have as yet visited him at
the Jail here.
