Having Too Many Thinqs.

Many nervous, irritable, dissatisfied, unhappy women would become calm and contented if they would store, give or throw away half of their be- longings. Some have abandoned ele- gant residences and taken their fami. lies into hotels or boarding houses who could have continued to keep up their homes if. instead of giving up the houses themselves, they had done away with the superfuous furnishings.

who with a single vessel, the Hama.
dieh, made several celebrated raids In
the course of the recent wars, appear
ing suddenly at unprotected points
and doing a great amount Of damage
to the Turks enemies. 1t is expected
that this capable officer, who is known
as Bucknam Pasha in Constantinople,
will figure largely in the struggle that
threatens.
! Greece is making desperate efforts
to put herself in a posture of defense,
but her means, even taking into &C
count the effects on Turkey of the two
Balkan wars, are very small compared
to Turkeys resources.
Undoubtedly her shrewdest move
was the purchase from the United
States of the battleships Mississippi
and Idaho, vessels In commission
These two large craft will soon be In
Grecian waters and ready to face the
new Turkish navy. That they will be
able to meet the three Turkish dread
naughts on anything like equal
grounds is doubtful, but their presence
Is giving some reinsurance to Greece.
Greece is most anxious to keep the
peace. But 1t is believed generally
here that Turkey is resolved to en-
force her claims to the islands OF the
Aegean sea the moment her dread
naughts arrive. This moment is not
far of.
The Hellenic government has pushed
forbearance to extreme limits The
houses vacated by the Moslem emf
grants from Macedonia were left un-
occupied until the influx of Greek ref
ugees from Turkish territory obliged
the authorities to quarter the home
less families there, and even this was
only a provisional measure.
In the fortnight ending July 81 nc
fewer than $4,000 Hellenes have been
driven from their homes in Asia Mi
nor, their movable property plundered

driven TO the sea coast without means

months about $4,000 had been sub
5ected to similar treatment and in al

again calls the Mohammedan nations
to battle.
1t is computed that the Ottoman en-
pire still number 100000 Hellenes
among its subjects and fears are en-
tertained that these will all come un-
der the prescription, the opportune
moment being chosen to suit the con-
venience of the ministers OF war and
marine.
The only ray OF hope Is the action
of Talaat Bey, the Turkish minister
of the interior, who has promised to
check the explosions and has even
made journey to the scene Of the
outrages with the object Of protecting
the Orthodox Greeks in person. But
TRlaat is a single figure and his over
throw In face of Young Turk opinion
may come soon.
Meanwhile the representatives Of
the powers In Constantinople have not
been idle. Their notes to the sublime
porte have brought a half-hearted
promise from Mehmet VS. represen-
tatives that the offenses will cease
Roumania and Servia are also both
employing strenuous efforts to induce
the Ottoman statesmen to meet the
Greeks half way. 1t is to be noted that
the exodus of Moslems is not from
Greek territory only, but also from
New Bulgaria, New Servia and New
Montenegro.

the fever point by the sight Of thou

In an interview M. Desoutter de-
scribed how, after a years misery
with the ordinary false leg, he started
experimenting on one which would be
lighter than most.
Why" he said, you can't Walk
more than fifty yards without feeling
done up. In walking you of course
swing each leg and you can't swing an
artificial leg weighing anything from
six pounds to ten pounds very far.
The artificial limb devised by the
young Frenchman weighs only two
pounds, and its chief factor is an al
10y of his own discovery in which

M. Desoutter replied that II 1t could

is that artificial limbs have to be sup
ported by straps over the shoulders
and around the waist and the more

Athens.-Turkey, since the second
Balkan war, has driven 10000 Greeks
from Asia Minor in most cruel man
ner. II she persists in her determi-
nation of expelling the 2,6O0.OOV
Greeks still within her borders an
other sanguinary conflict is prooaoly
unavoidable.
While the Greeks are leaving their
homes in Turkish territory against
their will and are seeing their posses
sions confscated until they are re-
duced to penury, a similar large e4-
Odus of Turks is taking place IN mace
donna and other northern sections now
under the rule of King Constantine
But the Turks are leaving or their
own free will in anticipation of tri-
umphant return under the guard OF
Turkish bayonets.
Meanwhile on both sides war prep
arations go on feyerishly. Despite her
impoverished condition, Turkey is car
rying out a great naval program.
Messrs. Vickers of Barrow, England,
who are now completing the Resha'
dieh to the order of the Ottoman gov
eminent, have just received an order
for second battleship to be laid down
at once The new craft is to be larger
than the Reshadieh. The latter is
525 feet long, has a displacement OF
$4,000 tons and carries ten 1875 guns
with a smaller battery.
Another vessel designed for the
Turkish navy is being completed on
the Tyne. 1t is the Sultan Osman l.
which was launched on behalf of Bra
I'll under the name of Rio de Janeiro
but has since been purchased by Tur
key for more than $12,000,000. Or
ders have also been given for the hulls
of two scouts to be built on the Tyne
and the machinery at Barrow.
So anxious is the Turkish marine
minister to obtain his dreadnaughts
that he is willing to accept them with
out trial, without cabins, without the
final coating of paint, and even with
one gun wanting.
By waving these conditions he will
gain nearly two months and receive

The prosperity OF the brickmaker will
be assured just as soon as brick is used
intelligently. Using it intelligently
means using it in place of inferior mate
rails and using it properly. in place OF

The first proposition is automatic. If
brick were used for every purpose where
1t served that purpose better. at the
same cost. or as well. at less cost than
any other structural material brick
plants would be gold mines
The second proposition is more deli
cate. Brick is improperly used il in its
use its inherent excellence and beauty
are left unexpected. Strange to say. this
improper use of brick is very noticeable
in small towns that have one or more
face brick plants. Here the culls are
sold as common.

Gull piles represent manufacturing

consequence. the dead walls OF that
town are unsightly, streaked. sullied with

sidewalks through the property. No
