Turkish Coffee.

The Turks, though possessing little
scientific knowledge, are nevertheless
q practical people. They have learned
from long experience that pulverized
coffee, pounded in marble mortar
and passed through a sieve, is both
good and economical, as it gives the
full flavor of the bean and loses moth
ing OF its strength
The great event of a visit to a Turk
ish home is The serving of coffee. The
host has a sort of brass shovel
brought to him. IN it he roasts cot
fee beans and then takes a pestle and
mortar and with his own hands
pounds it to powder. Many of the
pestles and mortars used in Turkey
are heirlooms, passing from father to
sen through the generations, and are
richly and beautifully ornamented
Having drunk coffee in the house OF a
Turk, you need have no fear Of him.
even if he has the worst Of reputa-
lions for being murderous. No Turk
would harm Il man who has drunk
coffee under his roof.

woman's pay in Austria.

The women of the Social Democrat
ic party held lately "woman's day"
in Austria. The Vienna town hall
was filled to Overlooking with women
bearing banners. The speakers at the
meeting said that women must organ
ize themselves with the object of get
ting the law, which forbids them to
hold political meetings or to form po'
Itical organizations, repealed. During
the meeting, it was pointed out that
when the men had been called away
from their daily avocations, without
warning, to spend weeks and months
on the frontier, the women at home
had been obliged to work for the sup
port of their families, as the allow
ance made by the government to the
wives and families of reservists was
ridiculously inadequate.

PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS

SO foolish as to wear those duns and
browns; but that!-that Is a deer's
coat. 1t won't do to jump him and
trust a shot as he goes-those frs will
hide him at the first leap. A long shot
at standing target-there. He
moved! There's not q second to lose!
A long shot, truly; but that graceful
rife thinks nothing of half mile
There are many intervening bushes
and saplings; but the steel-jacketed
bullet would kill on the farther side
OF the thickest pine, and even soft
nosed one will cut clearly to this
mark. The colonePs practised left
hand immovably supported the barrel;
the colonePs keen eye through the
carefully adjusted sights saw plainly
the blotch of deerskin down the little
glade; and the colonePs steady fore
finger confidently pressed the lightly
set trigger. Spat! The colonel felt
the rifleman's delicious gertrude that
his bullet had found its mark, threw
in another shell, and stood tensely
ready to try the bisecting of the smit-
ten deer's first agonized bound-but
the blur of fur just stirred little, and
slipped down out of sight.

struggled over the debris to reach his

ONO, not deer, but man, dead,

all stained and crumpled,
There was a shout in the far dis
lance, but Loree heard it not. He
knew his solitude, and never looked
for aid. The white strangeness OF the
face of the man he had shot overcame
the sense OF something familiar in it;
and the colonel, after q moments
scrutiny, addressed himself frantic
ally to the stanching of the blood. A
deep groan seemed to warrant hope;
and STOPPING beneoth the body, Loree
took it up and began bearing it toward
the camp. He had an overwhelming
consciousness of the terrible task be-
fore him; but the realization of the hui
man life dashed out, some home blast
ed, some infinity of woe, and the bare
chance of rescue rolled sickeningly
over him, and he set his teeth and at
tackled the task like an incarnate
will.
Logs and boughs and dead-wood
held him back; countless obstacles
exhausted him. He felt like crying
out in agony as he realized that his

VALUABLE QUALITY TO HAVE
Nan Who Can See the True PoseibIlL
ties Of Other Men Is the One
That Succeeds.

Seeing" men is an art Il amounts
almost to second sight. OFTEN, In a
business Zine" some man makes his
way mysteriously and rapidly to the
top, or near to it. He does not seem
to have greater trading ability than
many others, nor has he been favored
by larger capital of more magnetic
personality. But he rises. His fac
ulty of seeing men has been the
magical force.
It Is no trick at all to discover the
man who has triumphantly made a
record, who is already personality
in this trade or that Unfortunately,
such = man is unfailingly costly.
What he has done, moreover, is no
positive guarantee as to his future ex-
ploits. Men of great reputation as
lieutenants many times prove great
disappointments when they shift. The
chief who ''sees" picks a man whose
reputation is yet to be made, and
thereby gets the profit himself.-Har-

The wire consisted of several lengths
