The Sultan's Piety.

Constantinople corr. OF the London Chronicle.
One of the most marked Characters
tics of the Sultan Mehmed V is his ex-
traordinary piety. He reliGiously per-
forms every prayer prescribed by the
Koran, and never omts the necessary
additions. Five times daily, according to
the injunctions of the prophet Moham-
med. he turns his face to Mecca, and.
lost in meditation. invokes with slow
whispers the divine grace of Allah. He
is surrounded by host OF Moslem
priests, who faithfully attend to. his
sultan he made VOW that he woulo
worship every Friday in different
mosque, SO as to give the population OF
every district the opportunity, considered
by the orthdox Moslems sacred one, OF
beholding the Padishah and Khalif. He
keeps his vow. There is almost no
quarter which he has not visited-from
hoary Stamboul. with its conqueror g
mosque, to delightful Scutari. on the
Asian Shore where stand famous cypress
woods, cool, mysterious and secluded.
The place of worship which he likes most
at present is the sacred shrine at Top
Kapou, on the so-called Seraglio Point
in STEAMBOAT, not far from the famous
the mosque that is called by the Moslems
Hirka-I-Sherif Jamessi, one OF the most
holy places of Islam. There foreigners
are never admitted. 1t contains the
prophets mantle. an object of highest
generation among the Turks. The shrine
contains also the prophets javelin and
sword and the prayer carpet of Abu-
Bekir his father-in-law. Other objects
Of interest and value are the arms and
turban OF Omar, mace from the shrine
Of Mecca and the 35andjak Sheriff." or
sacred standard OF the prophet. During
Abdul Hands reign the shrine Of Top
Kapou used to be opened only once a
year, on the fifteenth of Ramazan. Meh-
med visits it far more frequently. When
ever the spirit Graves for special COM
nunion with Allah he retires there to
Mediate and pray. He does the same
whenever there Is any accumulation of
he never-ceasing troubles of conflict and
ebellion.

Preferred Modern Languages.
he Westminster Gazette

From the Westminster Gazette.
The Mercure de France has been max
ing some inquiries as to the respective
popularity of the various modern Ian
guages in the schools Of Europe. and it
finds that French is still far ahead Of
all competitors. 1t says that in England
German finds less and less favor. and
that pupils who have any option in re-
gard to a modern language always choose
French. In France, however. since 1870
German has perhaps secured a preponder-
ance over English in the lycees. In Ger
many the study of French has progressed
to the detriment of English, but the gov
eminent has interviewed L: order to de-
velop the teaching of English, which it
regards as of great Importance in COM
mercial matters. French is now taught
in Italy more than ever before, but Ger
man Is also gaining some ground. es-
pecially in the north. In Spain French
has more pupils than any other foreign
language and English comes next.

Mysterious Commissions.
From the London Chronicle.

FROM the London Chronicle.
The royal commission of sewage dis
posal, which is only just beginning it's
work, although it has been sitting if-
teen years. reminds one OF the evergreen
royal commission for the great exhibi-
ton of 1851. which still pursues its la
bors in a snug little Office at Westmin-
ster. The secret of its longevity is that
it was constituted a permanent royal
commission some years ago, but what its
functions are, whether to distribute be-
lated awards and medals to the repre-
sentatives of long deceased exhibitors or
to report on the wonders of the great
exhibition, no one apparently knows-or
cares.
Another mysterious commission that
existed until recent years was the West
Indian incumbered estates commission.
1t had a miniature court In a back room
in st. Martins lane. with a judicial
bench. a clerk. register and usher and
its proceedings were conducted with a
dignity and Formally quite equal to that
Of royal courts Of Justice at their best.

Burbage, Actor-Manager.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London CnroncP
What sort of a giant James Burbage,
builder Of the first English playhouse

that he converted universal hostility into

1911 the privy council was issuing de-
crees that all strolling players, not noble

make his exit" from the Shakespearean
world was Cuthbert (the younger son of
James,, upon whom financial misfortune
fell in his old age. I'VE have been the

his farewell speech to life. I'VE only have
suffered continually" Some of those
whom the Burbages helped to make are
also to have names recorded by the Lon

Church, where they lie buried.

1t is good idea to keep little extra

which may be devoted entirely to chance

may be called bargains. The French word
for bargain is better than ours: it is oc-
casion. Here is an occasion, an oppor-

to enjoy good music or good drama. Be
exact about your spending. and people

as soon as the 200 men employed for the

electric machines to change the surface

of the requirements of a cranberry bog

Zones Of Silence.
ON the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Zones of silence such as that discov-
cred in the Alps have been known to
scientists for a long time. Some years
ago a committee of the Trinity House
conducted a series of experiments in
the English channel with the loudest and
most ear-piercing sirens. whistles and
hooters they could procure. 1t was found
that sometimes on the clearest and quiet
est day sound was unaccountably in

soundless zones and Incidentally suggest
