Turkish Slaves.

Abdul Hamids view that the slave
in Turkish household is much better
off than servant girl is fully support
ed by Mr.. Duckett Ferriman in "Tur-
key and the Turks" The chief points
urged are that the owner is responsible
for the slaves maintenance and cannot
turn her adrift, that she is treated as
one of the family, has light duties, and
is taught accomplishments, and that
she has chances of a rich marriage.
An Englishwoman, governess and COM
panion in house on the Bosphorus,
was asked by some English visitors
who were the charmingly dressed girls
they saw. Servants" she said, mean
ing to spare the girls feelings But
when the visitors had gone the girls
bitterly reproached her for "shaming"
them. You are a servant. You are
paid, we are not. We are slaves, not
servants. Why did you tell falsahood
to shame us?"

Ace and Celebrity.

I'm a few days. says a letter in a
Vienna paper, 'Adelina Patti, born in
Madrid of Italian parents, will reach
the age of seventy. Since her seventh
years, when she made her first appear
ance on the concert state, she has
been known the world over, and al
though she is now the Baroness Ceder-
strom we know her still as Patti. She
was only little girl when, in 1859,
she appeared in Lucia di Hammer
moor, and as Rosina in 'The Barber,
but she never. in the course of her
long stage career, received greater
applause than she did on those occa-
sions. I heard her when she came to
Vienna for the first time, in 1863.
remember it SO well, and also my en-
thusiasm, that it seems difficult to
think of the singer as seventy years
old-except when l look in the mirror.

WHERE MESH BAGS ARE. MADE
A Lon Established Industry of the
BaIearic IsIands-Women Do
Work.

Barcelona. This manufacture of sill
yer and gold mesh bags and purses
is long established industry peculiar
to the Balearic islands, and is cen
tered in the islands of Majorca and
Minorca.
Up to few years ago the industry
was confined to small establishments
in the country towns, where women
were engaged in weaving the mesh at
wages ranging from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-seven cents a day, according to the
quantity of mesh made. Keen COM
petition, however, has led to the cree
ton Of factories, and the industry has
been considerably benefited. Former.
ly the gold and silver wire, as well
as the mountings, were mostly import
ed from France, but at present the
entire process Of manufacture is car
ried on in the islands.
There are twelve factories of note
in the islands of Majorco and Minorca,
which not only supply nearly the home
demand but also export articles to
France and other European countries
and to some extent to America, Africa
and Asia. The annual value Of the
output is officially estimated at $780,
000.. The output consists of over 200
different styles, silver bags and purses
selling at So cents to $50, and the gold
articles at 63 to II cents gram.
Owing to the prosperous state of the
industry the manufacture OF related
articles. such as chains, etc, has beer
attempted.
