The Montenearins.

IT is only in recent years that Monte
negrins have begun to appreciate the
services of the hospital. Hulme Bea,
man, after visiting the country in 1889
wrote that the people take very little
care of their children. and only the
sound and strong grow up. In after
life, too, they are extremely averse to
sanitary precautions or medical treat
ment, and sick Montenegrin is almost
Synonymous with dead man. AT least

TURKISH TITLES.
They Are Added to Persons Names
Instead OF BEING Prefised.

Turkish names and titles are some
times confusing to the ordinary reader.

embassy at Washington may be OF IN

can prefixes mir" or General" be-

Of Il Turkish city adds TO his name Bo-

Mayor John Smith. but Smith Boedie

A caliph Is a prince of the royal
line and "Mohammed's representative"
ranking next to the sultan himself In
importance. The next title OF impor.
lance is sheik al Islam. or head OF the
Mohammedan faith. Imam Is the title
by which a priest is originally nd.
dressed.
Pasha is the highest title within the
gift OF the sultan. Ii is conferred chief

arts and letters or in commerce and is
more or less common among the great
merchants OF Turkey or those who I'M

Not So Far Wrong, After All.

Maid Marion, approaching her fourth
birthday, has an imaginary world of
her own, In which the principal person
age seems to be Mary, her oldest child.
For some weeks she talked also of
"Mr. Mary" but few days ago she
announced that "Mr. Mary" had died
on the consumptions." A few evenings
later when she was telling her father
of some Of Mary's exploits he asked
her what had become of MIR. Mary"
''Oh. he died." and her golden curls
shook very sadly.
"Why did he diei'
We'll. you see, Mr. Mary was my
husband, and one day ] asked him for
some money, and he died"
II fancy her conception Of matrimony
is not so far wrong at that" remarked
her mother, who was listening TO the
conversation.-Ind News.

WHERE THE OCEAN BOILS.
Upheavals That May Be Caused by
Submarine c rthquakes.

Mariners say that In the midst of the
Atlantic, about where the twenty fifth
meridian west from Greenwich crosses
the equator, there lies a region Of
mystery. 1t is on the line that ships
take from Madeira TO Brazil Only
within the past half century has 1t
been sounded and its strange phe-
nomena reported.
One Investigator declared that he
Jaw the sea about half mile from his
vessel suddenly disturbed, For about
two minutes II boiled up violently as
from a subterranean spring. Through
out the day there were observed great
patches of discolored water which had
exactly the appearance Of extensive
shoals.
These and similar phenomena are
frequently observed in this part of
the ocean. Often ship reports that
she has experienced violent shock
similar to that which is felt when a
rock is struck. Sometimes great
rumbling is heard, like that of a heavy
chain running through the hawse
pipes, and the vessel quivers like a
leaf in the wind. At another time, in
smooth water, a vessel has been
known to heel over suddenly, as if she
had run on sand bank.
Before this part of the ocean was as
thoroughly sounded and surveyed as it
is now these phenomena were attrfb-
uted to the presence of unmarked sand
banks and rocky shoals. and the old
charts were marked accordingly. But
1t must have astonished the mariner
somewhat TO find that he got no sound
ings with his deep sea lead Immediate
ly after experiencing one of these
shocks.
1t is now generally believed that sub !
marine earthquakes are the true cause |
of these convulsions.-You Com

A HANDICAP IN GOLF.
u Was a Rather Mean Advantage, but
Il Won tho Game.


An unusual golf handicap was played
on one Of the local links recently. the
proponent of the same winning hands
down. One OF the rules of golf is that
one must not talk to a player when he
is about to make n drive. nor must 9th
ers discuss any subject in his hearing.
Ii might take his mind off the game for
Just an instant, and that might prove
fatal.
In Kansas City lives crack but ex-
tremely nervous golf enthusiast. He
had been in the habit OF beating a fat
and phlegmatic friend until the latter
tired of it,
"I'll tell you what I'll do" the friend
said not long ago. Il will play you
eighteen holes IL you win give me a
handicap"
Done" said the nervous player.
"Name the handicap
Three times during the game. and
not more than three, / am TO be per
mitted to stand behind you and say
'Boor while you are preparing to
drive"
Every time ii was the nervous mans
play his fat friend walked up and just
stood behind him. Never once during
the game did the fat man say Boo
or anything else. But the anticipation
at the expected Boo was fairly
nerve SCATTERING, and the fat man won
hands down.-Kansas City Journal.

yard is bar OF bronze thirty-eight
inches long on which a yard has been
marked off In thirty-six divisions of an
inch. The greatest possible care is
taken of these two important articles.
When comparison is being made
they are handled with tongs The
