SPENT CALL TIME IN BATH

A story about two members of the

narrated with much amusement in
New York
The two young men-so the story
runs-Were expected at certain coun-
try house on the Hudson during the
hot weather. Their hostess had com.
posed with great care a program for
them-a program beginning with a
cool bath after their journey. and run
ming on through motor ride, an open
air luncheon, game of bridge, tea, etc.
and Immediately on their arrival the
program was put in operation.

Curious Japanese Fish.

One of the most interesting fish OF
Japanese waters is the Oriental sail
fish (Histrophous overtatis.) The gen.
eric name means the sail-bearer, and
refers to the huge dorsal fin possessed
by the species.
The fin stands higher than the body
above it, and is used as sail before
the wind. 1t is large fish, ten feet in
length and weighing 1874 pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs in rough
and windy weather with the huge fin
above water. 1t is a favorite food fish.
and the usual catch is nearly 1900, 900
pounds. The sail fish is caught by
means of a harpoon.

Yuma braves almost made up for
these defects. In fight after fight
Pasqual hurled his red legions upon
the advancing white men with such
reckless fury that the far better
equipped soldiers were driven back
before the hail of native arrows. For
time primitive savagery threatened
to block the path Of progress. and the
old time arrow seemed to hold Its
own against tho modern rifle bullet
and cannon ball. !. -.
Yet in the end. of course, the gov
eminent forces triumphed. In the
skirmishes the troops made but a poor
showing against the horde of fear
less, gigantic Yumas; but musket and
cannon in open field engagements left
only one result possible. -.
The Yumas were moved down like
grain. Their ranks were steadily
thinning. while there were always
new men capable of taking the place
of fallen soldiers. Pasqual was at
last forced to give up the one-sided
struggle.
The desert warrior was obliged, for
his peoples sake, to lay aside his
weapons and teach his braves to be-
come farmers, traders, etc. AS set
tiers and nearby Mexicans cheated
them and undersold them, the Yumas
yearly grew poorer. At length. COOP

teal in all matters of religion, and the
more conservative Moslems call them
lnfidels. Outwardly the Young Turks
conform to the usages of Islam. Pri-
vately, have seen them smoke during
the Ramazam fast, and when travelling
with them on ships at this season
have known them to eat three square
meals day.
This liberality is likely to be a
serious factor in political develop
ment in Turkey, although in the west
it would be deemed a minor point,
with no relation whatever to govern
ment matters. A man here says, Il
am Christian" but that statement
must not be understood to imply any
thing whatever about his character or
personal religious life. 1t merely
means that he is not Moslem.
In studying this interblending of re-
ligion and nationalism one soon learns
that the ineradicable longing of myri-
ads to see the cross back upon St.
Sophia, which at first sight appeared
SO noble sentiment, is in large part
political aspiration. It means that
when the cross comes back to st.
Sophia the Turk will have fallen from
power on the Bosphorus. All kinds of
strange legends and prophecies are
current among the people in this con-
nection. One is that when the dogs
have all gone from the streets in Con.
stantinople then the Turks will have
to go, too. Russia unquestionably
dreams the same dream of cross
shining above the vast dome of St.
Sophia and her deepest support is the
sympathy which is extended to her
here as Christian nation-though in
Europe and America, Russia is not
much thought of as an exponent of
Christianity
An Assortment Of Religions.
The outstanding religions of the
empire are the Greek orthodox church,
the Greek Catholic church, the Ar
menian or Gregorian church, the Ar
menian Catholic church, Syriac Chal-
dean, Maronite, Roman Catholic and
Protestant churches, Judaism and Is
lam. The last is the most powerful.
There are no signs apparent Of a
blending of the various religious
bodies, except as their children min
gle in the Protestant schools. Reform
agencies are at work in some of the
older of the Christian churches, but
that is another story
The priests and professors of the
various Christian churches are
common sight upon the streets OF Con.
stantinople. There Is no denying a
certain kind of tolerance to Islam If
he is accepted as superior and these
inferior religions pay him a tax and
allow him to be unmolested as the
top dog" the Turk gets along quite
well with the other religions He has

The Prize Of the East Still Open.
Constantinople on the Bosphorus,
unparalleled for position, the goal Of
imperial struggles through many cen.
turtles, is still not yielded unquestion-
ably to any one power. While it is
the capital of Turkey it may not be
denied that races and nations are
steadily at work striving for its pos
session. This is "the great game"
which intelligent observers here find
so absorbing. At the moment Ger
many is on top, and Great Britain is
in eclipse. Russia's hairy hand may
be seen beneath the surface of many
recent events. The Greeks; as of
yore, are eloquent but Intellectual. The
Armenian signs for his ancient nation
and revives the study of his own Ian
guage and classics. The decline Of
this new constitutional government
can mean little less than the ultimate
eclipse of the Caliphate. When that
goes, the Turks hold over the Arabs
and fanatical element among the Mos
lens will disappear also.

is now being played here, there are
subtler influences at work shaping the
general trend of things. Here enters
America. A great point is gained by
the nation whose language becomes
dominant amid this assortment Of
all but have disappeared were it not
for the yearly output of students from
American mission schools who have
therein learned not only the English
language, but American history and
ideals of life as we'll. The famous
which Mr.. Kennedy lately left an en-
dowment of nearly 100000, and the
equally efficient American School for
Girls, which has been enabled by the
help from the Rockefeller and Sage
'-,nds to acquire a splendid site alst
on the Bosphorus, are doing more for
American prestige than many agen-
cies formally instituted by the gov
eminent
Even more potent than the equally
famous and effective Syrian Profess
tant college at Beirut are the smaller
mission schools scattered throughout
the empire. These are sending forth
boys and girls who become the teach
ers and preachers of the country.
All are tinctured with admiration for
America. The potency of this sort of
work has come to be recognized even
by the government. 1t is undoubtedly
one Of the factors which have brought
about such a condition of affairs that
when the English speaking traveller
explains that he is an American he
discovers far more cordial attitude
than had been displayed to him be-
fore. Everybody in Turkey knows
that America has no designs upon
Turkish territory, and, so far as they
are able to conceive of such altruism,
that America really wants to help Tur-
key for Turkeys sake.
