o to Grow Tall.

A mans organs and those of his
bones which are not subjected to pres
sure grow continuously until he is for
ty years old; that is to say, the heart
should become stronger, the capacity
of the lungs increase and the brain
should develop steadily until the fourth
decade of life. Also one should wear
a larger hat at the age of forty than at
thirty. A man ceases to grow tall,
however, at the beginning of the third
decade, because after hat time the
downward pressure exerted by the
weight of the body while in the erect
position congresses the vertebrae or
small bones in the spine, the disks Of
cartilage between them, the pelvis and
the thigh bones, and this pressure
overcomes the natural elasticity of the
disks and the growth of these bones.
However, a British scientist contends
that were man a quadruped and there
fore freed from the downward pressure
produced by his weight upon his spinal
column he would continue to grow in
height for ten years longer than he
does at present since it has been found
that bones not subjected to compress
sion increase up to the fourth decade.

bidding-not slaves in our sense of the
word, but more like adopted children.
The square, spacious house stood IN
a lovely garden and was divided into
two parts, one-half (the haremlik) oc-
cupied by women and the other half
(the salamlik) by men. The sofas and
chairs in the drawing room were COW
cred with red and yellow silk, and
here ladies and slaves, all wearing
loose garments like dressing gowns,
sat for hours chatting or playing cards
or backgammon, or listening to the
tales of the miradjus, the professional
women story-tellers. They have no reg
ular hours for meals, snacks of foe
being brought to them at all hours.
They did not sit at tables in the dining
room, where the host entertained his
friends and where foreign ladies were
admitted.
Visits to a harem are looked upon as
an indefinite thing. Some of the ladies
staying in the house had arrived with
q small bundle of clothes for a few
days and had stayed on more than a
year. On an embroidered carpet in
one corner of the room a large tray on
short legs held all courses of each
meal, placed there before the repast
began. Women, old and young, in pic
turesque, flowing garments and
swathed heads, handed delicious stews,
one or two meats, and vegetables and
rice in every form.
The windows opened from the in
side, behind wooden, immovable lat
tees. Flower baths were a great in
stitution. There were baths of rose
leaves and baths of heliotrope-rose
petals were rubbed in the hair and
scalp and over the whole body.
The ordinary Turkish baths were
built away from the house and seemed
to be occupied all day long. Until the
age of twelve boys remain in the
harem. At thirteen or fourteen girls
don the tchartchaf or veil and are
considered fit for marriage.
There is many a bride of fifteen with
a husband of seventeen. Marriages are
arranged by the two families; the
bridegroom does not see the bride un-
til after the marriage ceremony, when
he raises the veil. If he fails to do
this she remains his official wife only
in name. Each Turk is allowed by the
Koran to have four legal wives, but
most of them are satisfied with one
