TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It's . PeriIous Matter to Endaneer the
L ife Of Sultan.

It's Perilous Matter to Endanser the
Life Of Sultan.
Within two weeks after the assas-
sination Of Mahmud Shefket Pasha.
the grand vizier of Turkey. thirty two
men were put to death for taking part
in the conspiracy. According to Tur-
kish custom handed down from tho
time of Mohammed. there Is no limit
as to the number of lives that may be
taken as penalty for the murder of
one man. Even those interested in
the remotest degree are liable to the
sultan's vengeance. It is not so much
the number the ruler of Turkey is au-
thorized to put out OF the way. but
rather where the line is to be drawn.
The Turks have a story Of one of
the earlier successors Of Mohammed
whose life was only endangered be-
cause of a rock falling down q decliv-
ity near which the sultan was riding
with his retinue Half q dozen of
those in charge of the trip were put to
death as an ordinary matter Of course,
then half dozen more who might
have remotely known something about
the facilities afforded by the road for
killing the sultan. Finally all the mem
bers of secret club or lodge were or
dered executed because it was ascer-
tanned that one of the responses to q
password was will you roll down the
stone?''
Despite the protestations Of the club
members that the words had no signifi-
canoe at all with respect to the sultan
or the sultan's trip along the road. they
were ordered to the scaffold. They
numbered 11S in all and died bravely.
assuring their executioners to the very
last that they were innocent Later a
eunuch who told how the falling Of the
rock was merely an accident was also
put to death for daring to say so.-New

Modest Fitzgerald.

Edward Fitzgerald was utterly care
less of his fame. He lived to be an
old man. yet not one in a million OF
his fellow countrymen regarded him as
a poet. even if they had heard his
name mentioned as an old chum Of Al
fred Tennyson. Yet he translated
THE Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'
long years before his death. He kept
1T ''chucking about" apparently not
thinking it worth publication, and
when he did print few copies nobody
took any notice of it. Today it is one
Of the most famous poems in the
world.

BATHS IN PARIS.
They Are Something In the Mature Of
Public Function.

American tourists when they visit
gratifying their desire for a bath. Con-
ditions are slowly changing for the bet
ter, however, and some Of the hotels
have introduced bathrooms, an innova-
ton brought about mainly to satisfy
American demands. writer in the
New York Sun tells how the bath is
usually enjoyed:
Like most intimate affairs in France,
the bath partakes of the nature of a
public function. There is also choice
in the matter. The ambulance bath
was one franc fifty bath, or you got
season ticket for one franc twenty.

then retires to the courtyard and waits
till you have finished the bath. His
cheerful whistle floats up to the win

And the children flock to count the

this is well calculated to make the occa-
sion one of keen embarrassment for
the foreign lady.

MATCHING PEARLS.
0risntals Believe In Sex and Affinity
In the Gems.

In the Gems.
Most brides are partial to pearls. and
In some eastern countries no other
Jewels are allowed TO figure among the
bridal ornaments.
In Persia the notion prevails that
the pearls themselves are susceptible
of married bliss. Among the hereditary
Jewellers of the Persian court it is an
article Of faith that pearls have sex
end that every one has its mate. its
equal in size and beauty. The surest
way to avoid the dreaded pearl disease
Is to mount the pearls in pairs. If de
prived Of their mates they anguish
and lose luster; hence the desire to
match pearls which has led to such ex-
trayagance.
1t is said that the great glory Of the
ropes Of pearls given to Queen Alex.
andra by some Of the princes OF Indis
was the perfect matching Of almost
all of the pearls. Thus the eastern
experts believed they were assuring
long life for these jewels. 1t is believed
to foretell misfortune for the owner OF
pearls when they contract the pearl
disease.
Some readers may remember that
the first whisper OF coming misfortune
for the beautiful Empress Eugene
arose when the news was spread
abroad that her pearls were spotted
and crumbling away. OF course. the
French jewelers. would have derided
che eastern notion of sex and affinity
In pearls, but the keepers Of the shah's
jewels believe in it. and they have
preserved many of the crown jewels

Who Never Get Cold Feet.

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 fills his boots half
full with IL peculiar green grass. into
which he thrusfs 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

Of their northern home. However. at

Twice year they hold these general
