TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It's PeriIous Matter to Endanger the

Within two weeks after the assas.
sination of Mahmud Shefket Pasha,
the grand vizicr of Turkey thirty
men were put to death for taking part
in the conspiracy According to Tur-
kish custom handed down from the
time of MohAmmed, there is no limit

taken as a penalty for the murder OF
one man. Even those interested In
the remotest degree are liable to the

GRASS LINED BOOTS.
They Are Worn by the Nomsdic Lapps,
Who Never Get Cold Feet.

While civilized man suffers intensely
from cold feet every winter, the Lap
lander, living In the far north of Eu-
rope. has no such trouble. A traveller
writes: Their boots are made OF rein
deer skin and are worn very large. and
the toes are pointed and curve upward
so as to be easily slipped into their skis.
The Lapp usually hlls his boots half
full with peculiar green grass, Into
which he thrusts his naked feet, He
then packs the boots full with more
grass. tucks the ends of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly round
with many turns OF a brightly woven
braid. With these precautions they
never suffer from cold feet, and chill.
bains, corns or such like civilized com
plants are an unknown horror TO
them"
Concerning other customs the same
writer says: THE Lapps are essen
italy a nomadic race and spend most
Of their lives wandering fancy free
among the wild and glorious scenery
OF their northern home. However, at
times no doubt the stiffness Of the
frozen mountains becomes too still,
and they turn their herds and start
toward their nearest meeting place.
Twice a year they hold these general
gatherings-at Easter and midsummer
when they congregate and hold q
general fair 1t is on these occasions

REFORMATION DEFERRED.
Georgia Legislature Refused 10 FsIss
Age Limit For Child Workers.

&0oTAfA neTIWSQ 10 N&t&&
Age Limit For Child Workers.
The Atlanta journal declared that
everybody in Georgia of even a little
mportance-and that, of course. In
eluded the owners OF the cotton mills,
who are very important indeed-had
come to realize that the exploitation
Of child labor was not only disgrace
TO the state. but was highly detri
mental to It's Industrial and educa-
tional interests. Therefore the Jour
nal talked confidently about the pros
poets of speedily passing a child labor
law which had been favorably report
ed to both branches OF the legislature
and was commended as a well devised
and not unreasonably rigorous measure
by all the people and organizations in
and out Of Georgia who have given the
subject enlightened consideration.
To those who wanted to believe all
this 1t was little mystifying that the
Journal added an earnest request for
all who could influence the legislature
to bring their power to bear upon 1t at
once, and little disQuieting, too, was
the fact that the national child labor
committee was continuing It's appeals
for money with which 10 conduct its
campaign OF propaganda and rescue
In state where no more work OF this
kind seemed to be necessary
The mystery now disappears and the
| disquietude Is justified, for the Georgia
| legislature later decided that for the
present, at least, the cotton industry
would be imperiled II the working age
| for children was raised TO fourteen
years. and there is no concealment
| OF the fact that the antagonism of the
mill owners to the bin was too strong
to be ignored So the bill was for
| mally shelved, and the session will end
with nothing done about the estRb-
lishment of an age limit or any new
restrictions on the hours OF labor.
This seems q pity. for hardly any
| thing is more nearly sure than that
the profits of child labor, though large
| In dollars and cents, are obtained at q
dreadful cost to every community that
permits It. The southern cotton manu-.
facturers have, indeed. been able TO
/ prove that there are places where the
children live in conditions. sanitary
and educational, worse in several re-
spects than those provided for them
in the mill towns That is very far,
however, from proving that indoor
work. prolonged and exacting, even II
not hard, is not bad preparation OF
the rising generation for the various
activities, duties and responsibilities
of adult life. Even IL the Atlanta
Journal is a pretty poor prophet IL Is

THE MINIMUM WAGE.

Those who desire to foist upon
labor minimum wage must
produce better and more sub
stantial arguments than those
based upon the idea that the
morals Of our working women
are to be measured by the scale
of wages prevailing.
II these people are serious and
really bent upon doing some
thing that will be beneficial to
the working women rather than
advertise themselves let them
expend about one-half the en-
ergy they are now wasting In
cations among them. Organiza
ton will do far more for them
than statute establishing q
minimum wage for women work
ers.
Above and beyond all other
considerations. however. let
tnere be stop put 10 the pres
ent disposition to slander the
womanhood OF America by con-
tinually asserting their morals
are mere matter OF dollars and
cents, OF food and clothing, Of

CARING FOR LITTLE CHICKS
First Duty Is TO Provide Suitable Coop

During the Matching. II you are
wise, you will not be too curious, but
will allow the instinct OF the hen to
do her work. It may be well to quiet
ly reach under the hen and remove
such egg shells as can be taken out
without disturbing her, but nothing
further should be attempted.
7 he first duty is to provide a coop
for the hen and brood No matter
what kind of a coop, from a barrel
laid down to the most improved pat
ented article. is used. See that it is
clean and the bottom covered with
find sand, or il the weather. be really
cold, with oat chan or short fine hay.
When the chickens are twenty-four
hours old they are ready to be re-
moved to their new quarters. Up to
this time, writes NJ. r.. Scully of Hi
nois in the Prairie Farmer, they
should have received no food, but they
are now ready for their first meal.
Give them water TO drink i'm a vessel
into which they cannot get their
bodies. A tin vegetable can with
small holes punched around the bot
tom and placed in a deep saucer will
answer admirably. Whatever their
first food may be. give them only a
small quantity. The best rule for
feeding is little and often"
Two distinct methods OF feeding
have their special advocates, the wet,
that is, ground feed moistened with
milk or water; and the dry. l find
the latter method the more satisfac-
tory. l feed cracked wheat, corn and
oatmeal.
Keep the chicks healthy and grow
ing right from the start. Keep them
dry and warm. Give them plenty OF
srit and pure water If in a brooder

exercise by scratching. The first
