TO WEAR VEIL AGAIN

To vindicate their conformity with
the teachings of the prophet 1t was
necessary for the reformers to be-
come reactionaries as far as the
women were concerned. so orders were
issued that no Turkish woman was to
appear in public wearing thin veil ;
she must not loiter in front of Euro
pean shops; and she must not enter
such places except under special cir
cumstances
The women were warned, in short,
to make themselves as inconspicuous
as possible in public. on pain of arrest
and punishment. Under this new rule
several Moslem women of evil repu-
tation have been arrested and exlled
In consequence of these harsh reg
ulations the women are going more

Mrs. Markowitz, in counter action
before Justice Blackmar, prayed that

taught to accomplish almost any act
that its owner wishes.
The birds are naturally fond of play
and to combine play with instruction
| is said by Edward Montague, an old
New Englander. to be the best meth
cd of training. Montague's ancestry
dates back in 1868, when Richard Mon
tague settled in Hadley, Mass, and all
of his descendants, of whom there are
more than FIVE hundred in the United
States, take pride in displaying the
Montague coat-of-arms.
In addition to being proud of his
ancestry. Edward Montague is ex-
tremely proud of his flock of trained
cockatoOs and some of his birds,
doubtless because of his training, dis
play almost human intelligence.
The cockato is found in immense
fiocks in the wild regions three hum
dred miles west of Melbourne, Aus
caught in traps. There are several
species, but those with the yellow
crest are the most beautiful as well
as the most intelligent.
1t is a strange feature of the breed
ing of the cockatoo that the mother

ately flies away to some colder cline.
where the young bird quickly attains
Its growth. Another feature of the
bird is that the crest is barometer of
feeling.
When incensed. the crest is percep-
tibly raised, while when the bird
sulks. the crest is correspondingly
lowered Naturally the bird is of
vicious nature and one pick from the
sharp bill is sufficient to sever the end
of a finger.
Training of the birds is an interest
ing vocation and usually extends over
period of two years. The individu-
al bird must first be taught to per-
form aud then similar instruction has
TO be given to the flock. The birds
can be taught to dance, engage in
chariot races, do stunts on the hori-
Eontal bars, perform on revolving
balls and lastly to talk and swear.
The birds strangely pick up profane
words much more quickly than words
of any other type. and some cockatoos
know more profanity than anything
else.
They live to be more than one hun
dred years old. and some birds are in
captivity which have exceeded the
century mark. They do not require
any more treatment to sustain life
than human being. and II they are
led regularly and kept out of draughts

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist In This
Picturesque City Of

To the wanderer In Italy, Venice
has peculiar attraction Arrive there

and you will fancy yourself trans.
planted to some city OF dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear on to
some extent although there is never,
at any time, as much hustle and stir
in Venice as IN other towns. Morn
ing, noon or night, Venice has fas-
cination all her own. This is partly
due to the fact that she is city built
ON the water.
To explore Venice and to become in
timately acquainted with her, gon-
dola is not a necessity, rather 1t is
a luxury for sunset evenings and
moonlight nights. 1t is delightful ex-
perience, and not difficult one, to
find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corners are discover
ed. bits of ancient architecture, carved
doorways and little bridges, with
feast OF color here, there and every
where. Apart from all the beauty of
scenery, there is the enthralling inter
est evoked by her history and tradi-
tons.

of Venice. to be superseded later on

Jerusalem.-We had come down
from Jerusalem the previous morning
with correspondent, carriage ride
of four hours, and had stopped for
luncheon at Jericho, or, more cor
rectly speaking, at Rilia, a little to
the east of the site of the ancient
city. What memories OF brilliant
events in Biblical history cling about
this spot! Jericho, the city of palm
trees; the scene of Joshua's VIC
tories; the place where the last days
of Elijah were spent, and whence he
went forth with Elisha to cross the
waters of the Jordan. to be taken up
to heaven in a chariot of fire; the
spot where the two blind men were
healed; the place where our Lord paid
visit to the house of Yachens. Here,
too, were the long celebrated and
beautiful groves and gardens given
to Cleopatra by Mark Antony. Jericho

AS we descended the 700 feet below
Jerusalem the heat increased until
we arrived in the tropical plain of
Jericho under a binding sun. First.
We visited the pool of Elisha, the wa
ters of which he had healed; then
tramped through the ruins of the
Jericho of the Israelites. where we
saw part of the city walls around
which Joshua and his army marched

we could discern a dark moving mass
on the road, and as we approached
a party of Arabs would step aside,

with staffs in their hands. At an

ly by the wailing OF babes and the
general cry OF human beings"
1t seems that babes when they cry,
in church at any rate. do so at certain
musical intervals. seveEths, sixths or
seconds. Boys cry louder than girls.
All crying can be reduced to musical
notes, and the cries OF people OF all
ages differ very little.
Mr.. Bonavia-Hunt claims that his
setting of the penitential psalm con-
tafns two of the intervals at which
babies cry and reproduces with con-
siderable fidelity, when played on the
organ, the long drawn wailing of in
fants mingled with the cries OF men
and women.

Liberty Of MosIem Women Of

Halt is Called on Movement Started

Constantinople.-The movement for
the emancipation of Turkish women.
which under the regime of the Young
Turks gained considerable momen-
tum, has now received serious set
back
Encouraged by the Young Turks,
women permitted themselves greater
liberty of movement and In a short
time 1t was no uncommon thing to
see husbands and wives riding in the
same carriage. A woman's club with
a membership from the best Moslem
families was formed and courses OF
lectures and literary evenings were
given under Its auspices. Education
for girls received attention and a
school for girls under the patronage
of the president of the chamber was
founded, while funds were provided
for training teachers.
The problem of the veil was in
fiuenced by the prevailing liberal ten
denotes and in short time, al
though no one ventured to discard 1t
entirely. 1t was SO attenuated in many
cases as to be little better than an
apology for veil. Many women
while in the European quarter of the
city wore the veil flung back over
their heads.
These reforms were not received
with good grace by the more con-
servative Turks, who not only regard
their women as without souls. but
object to any exhibition whatever OF
their bodies.
This profound distrust soon reacted
on the government and the Young
Turks. The reformers found their
tolerant attitude toward their women
folks aspirations was strengthening
the opposition and especially lending
point to the argument that they were
not true believers. Nothing did more
to add to the prestige of the corserva-
tive Turks than the charge that the
Young Turks were no longer good
Moslems.
