This gives us an actual population of more than 14,00Q.

PHYSICAL and Psychical.

DR.. Farill, lecturing before a social
service class in Chicago, said the
character of the man as citizen oft
en- was dependent on the physical
training he received Yes, but his
character was more dependent upon
the moral training he had received.
His environment, his studies, his as
sociations, his methods OF thought,
the books he reads, the things he likes
to talk about have more effect on his
character than all the physical eXer-
cises he can pursue. Because sound
muscles. nerves and organs are to be
desired, they should not monopolize
ones interest entirely. The vanity of
the flesh very often leads to the I'M
dermining of ones life.
Building up the physical at the ex-
pense Of the psychical is a disturb
ance of that equilibrium which means
health. The tendency Of the age is
to disturb that equilibrium-to make
the legs of a man the test of his
mightress, which was not the Lords
way, as the Psalms remark. The right
way, in the determination of those i'm
portant relations, is to keep the soul
just a little ahead of the body on
its upward march.

scores Of predictions that the out
come of the present regime will be
utter failure. This state of mind on
the part of the principal foreigners
resident in Turkey must necessarily
be a heavy drag on the wheels of the
government.
Another ominous and allied fact is
that the Christians in the Turkish en-
pire are emigrating by the thousands
If anybody has the curiosity to exam
inc the bulletins of Ellis island during
the present six months he will find a
big percentage of Turkish subjects
among the arrivals. These men have
fed from the prospect of military serv-
ice When put to the test, they show
that the Christian population of Tur-
KEY is not loyal to the government.
Apparently Constantinople is willing
to let these people go, although, taken
as class, the Christians are more
efficient members of the community
than the Moslems.

HOW TO AVOID MATRIM0NY
Kind.Hearted Soul Offers Some Vaiu-
able Advice on the Matter.
Without Charge.

To avoid getting married is a very
easy matter, either for man or
woman. If you are man, frequent
the dance, especially the coming-out
dance Stick to the debutante as
men of liberal views stick to their
opinions. Hang around Conservatives
when the music is playing soft and
low. and where there are intoxicating
odors. Hang around summer resorts
and attend musical recitals. There
are other things to do, but this should
be enough.
For a woman to avoid matrimony
is quite as easy. She should live in
a. college town, or Washington, D. c.
She should cultivate those young men
who wear yachting suits all summer
and who know what to do with their
hats on a piazza; who are good at
buckling on skates, who ask If you
have heard this and that, who would
just as soon act as ushers at a we'd
ding as not, who are perfectly willing
to explain the game of baseball, who
are willing to introduce other fell
lows.
That's all you have to do to avoid
matrimony. But, in order to cinch
the matter it may be we'll to add a
few more words of advice.
Ladies! If man comes along who
will not talk baseball with you; who
does not know anybody and does not
want to; who does not even play
bridge; who cannot even tell you who
are the richest girls at the summer
resort and just how rich they are;
who never was an usher at wedding
and never will be-pass him the ice
pitcher! And do it quick! Then
go and hide!
Men! When you see a girl who
hasn't got a crowd around her; who
wears no scalps upon her belt; who
subscribes to the Fome Lady: who
knows how to set a table for five in
a cottage that cost $1,000; who can
give an appropriate Halloween party
Beat it, my son! Beat it.-Puck.

various nationalities that go to make
up Turkey, but that is far in the fu-
ture. At present we prefer the suzer-
ainty of some one of the powers-any-
body except the Turks; or we would
be glad to see our part of the country
neutralized under the powers, as is
the case with Lebanon, over which,
however, Turkey has some control.
Then all these emigrants who have
left by the hundreds of thousands
will return to this country. All Of
them pine for the homeland, but they
simply cannot live here"
DO you not see," remarked, that
the country is being drained of the
best people by emigration, so that the
prospects grow weaker as more Of
them leave?"
Good people go to a good country"
was the ferse rejoinder Of a college
professor; there is no field here for
educated non-Moslems."

Anne. Nordica at a garden party at
Deal Beach, said apropos OF her re-
cent European tour:
MANY good people refuse to be i'm
pressed by the armless and legless
fragments of antique sculpture treas
ured in the museums of the old
world.
"One day in the British museum a
guide was recounting to a little. knot
of tourists the glories of a battered
centaur, when a Chicago meat sales,
man broke the reverent hush with the
question:

man, but i, quickly developed into a
general discussion.
Have conditions improved under
the new regipe?"
mo: conditions are really worse
than in the Hamidian days. The new
regime has made the Moslems more
alert to what is going on, and quicker
to assert their superiority, and to i'm
pose exactions upon non-Moslems.
Christians have no rights in Turkey

there are no Christian officers; that
the immortality of the Turkish soldiers
is of a nature that makes even the
nominal. Christians fee from it; and
that the life in the army is not only
poorly paid-about 80 cents a month
but that the conditions are Of the
hardest.
It seems to be the opinion Of these
educated observers that Turkey is
willing to have RS many of the Chris
tians as please leave the country.

questions about America. They talked

Somewhere in Turkey.-For rea-

calize the interview which shall re-
port in this article. The persons
quoted could easily be discovered, and
they would be made to feel the heavy
hand of the government. They repre-
sent the darker side of the present sit
uation within the Turkish empire.
Before proceeding to quote these
men, l may state one ominous and
related fact, viz: Every foreigner
whom 1 have met in Turkey-and I
have interviewed hundreds-has
shown himself hostile to the present
government. This is an amazing con-
dition of things. Sometimes the an
tagonism has been merely skeptical
and supercilious. In other cases. it
has been deep and passioned.
Hard Knocks for the Turk.
The criticisms of the present govern
ment made by these British and
Americans has not been necessarily in
contrast with the old regime, but it
has been a criticism of the Turk as
a governing power. Neither is it to be
considered hostile to Islam per Sc, but
to Islam as embodied in the ruling
class of the government. I have heard
