Washington, D. C., Dec. S.-The fighting Turk is largely vegetarian, and this in spite of the superstition about the omnivorous character of the true warrior, according to a sketch recently prepared by the National Geographic society, which tells of the staples of the Turkish table and de- scribes some of the favorite dishes of folk upon the Bosphorus. The sketch is as follows:
 Turkish fare is distinguished by it's simplicity. The Turkish kitchen might be put at one end of the scale and the French kitchen at the other. The com plexities of Parisian cookery demand a long and careful education for a clear comprehension of their values and for a proper appreciation, while the dishes of Constantinople, at least those which appear upon the tables of Turks in the ordinary fortunes of life, are rudimentary.
 Vegetables, fruits and grains are the staples of the Turkish kitchen. Breakfast on the Bosphorus consists of small cup of Turkish coffee and a roll. At noon there is a bowl of sour milk (yaourD and bread. Thick Turkish c1ffee is taken again In the afternoon to key up appetites for the principal meal which comes at night. This meal includes probably, pilaff (meat and rice), several kinds of vege tables, pastry and thick coffee. The workman's meal is still more simple a chunk of bread and an onion or bunch of grapes.
 There are, however, some dishes upon the Turkish bill-of-fare, which the returned Westerner never wholly ceases to regret. Pilaff is one. It is a food as national with the Turk as the potatoe with the Irish, as the cab bage with the German. It takes a multitude of forms, but it's basic qual- ity of being pilaT is derived from rice being cooked in such a way as to preserve each grain firm and distinct. The rice IS unpublished and, in the cooking. takes an a gelatinous coat. Sometimes, it is boiled in mutton fat, a rich, smooth, inviting dish. Some times bits of roast mutton are mingled with it. when it becomes a meat pud- ding of delicious flavor. It is cooked with small entrants and pinenuts, fra grant and spicy. It is stuffed with dates and favored with orange peal; but, whatever it's form, it is one of tho | treasured memories of a visit to the near east. ?"
 l Egg plant is the foundation of an l other favored Turkish dish. It is [ stuffed with chopped onions and rice, 1 and cooked in oil. It is, also, stuffed / with meat marrow and rice, and steamed until it becomes a culinary inspiration. The westencr further i more, learns to enjoy many of the i milk foods prepared by the Turks. 1 Yaourt, cultured milk as thick as sour

marching of the military musicians, when he followed in the wake of the regiment passing, when he longed to belong to a fife and drum corps. The swaying columns of the soldiers, the glitter of the uniforms, the systematic shuttle of feet on the pavement, all go to awaken interest in the breast of youth A military parade is a glorious event, pretty sight to witness. And a military man is an asset to the state so long as he inspires the boys by his presence. The boys who spend their time learning some of the rudi- ments of military drill will be better off in the long run than those who waste their idle moments loafing around on vacant lots with "the gang"

Black Diamonds End.
Waterbury Republican, )

Black Diamond is dead. Look at your buffalo nickel. or. if you're a banker at a $10 buffalo bill, and you'll see a likeness of him. but you'll never sec Black Diam ond again. He was sold to 9 butcher some time ago and after a moratorium he has been put to death, which is just another way of saying that he has been slaughtered The butcher paid $500 for him and all the appeals of sem timents who wanted to prevent Sss death until natures course had been run were without avail. He suffered so much from the cold of winter that the humane authorities in whose care he was deemed it best on account of his old age, not to let him go through another winter. It seemed cheaper and better, all around. to auction him off to a butcher and let him be killed than to build place cosy enough to keep him comfortable throughout thn winter.
 When he realizes 1t, many little boy and many a big boy will feel a lump in his throat. He won't be able to see Black Diamond when he goes to the Bronx park zoo next time. The big leader, of the buffalo herd there,a whose size and appearance recalledI the stirring tales of the wild vest which the pioneers wrote from thcirl own imaginations and experiences, has been put out of misery through the agency Of the butcher who paidl $500 for him
 When you're old and broken down. in health. whether you're buffalo orl plain human creature, you may prayl to go the way Black Diamond did un- ! less you have provided for yourself the means to purchase the cosiness and comfort that keep one from sui fering the rigors of the elements.

MILITARY MEN.

There are in the United States some of the finest examples of mili- tary men in the world. And when the term military is used in this sense it does not necessarily carry with it tho idea of belligerent or fight for fights sake. It simply means those who have at some time in their careers been part and parcel of military or ganizations, including boys cadet corps By military man is really meant the fellow who is admirably set up in physique, the man who is as straight as an arrow, the lad who carries his head high, his shoulders held back, his feet firm. What a con- trast such a fellow is to the slovenly, slothful, staggering individual who ambles along the city's streets with his head on his chest, his eyes cast down. ward, his hat on the nape of his neck,
 his hands thrust deep in his pockets. The military man is far more invit- ing sight. He is an inspiration in himself. Such a being recalls to mind the brass band period of every boys existence when he gloried in the

LOST, SPRAYED, OR STOLEN.

What has become of the City Plan Commission? Such an institution was set up some time ago with much flourish of trumphets and this com mission was going to make for bet ter New Britain, to make of the Hard ware City community of homes. It was conceded that the place was raised up by it's hair and had de- veloped along the lines of commercial advantage and opportunism, but henceforth it's development and growth were to be guided along the right lines. The construction of six and eight family tenements would be drowned upon and every effort made to induce the people to seek better things. Systematic development of suburban tracts dotted with cozy cot tages and bungalows, the beautifying of waste places and the opening of number of new parks were includ- ed in the glittering program. Tho press and the public gave sanction to the good work and the average citi- zen looked forward with brightening eye and a feeling of optimism per vaded his being. New Britain was to be a city of homes. a new era was in sight and the way out of the wild erness was pointed.
 If we remember rightly His Honor, the Mayor, was head center of the movement for right living. Every factory worker with a family was to be imbued with the desire to own his own home and make of it place of gladstone retreat when the days work was done. Oh, it was a beautiful idea, but what has become of It? True there is considerable suburban activity and a number of comfortables homes of the single type have been included in the city's building ac- tivity during the past season and others are in the works; but it is difficult to see where the City Plan Commission figures in on the project
 It has been pointed out that work of this character requires long study and careful planning and under the most favorable circumstances the commission has limited powers. It can plan, advise and direct to ;A certain extent the city's development and much good may be accomplish ed, but it must be a real live organ ization, working every minute ard seeking cooperation from people ] who stand ready to give it boost and 1 really desire to see the city made a better place in which to live. The 1 idea is good. Its need is apparent. 1 Plenty of room exists for it's working out and we are at lack to under stand why it was permitted to be throttled at birth. Let it's originators stand forth and give us an explana- ton. New Britain people thought pretty we'll of the scheme when it was evolved and see no reason why it could or should not be worked out. Apparently it is not too late.

to the most pampered diner Chicken breast-milk, made from grated chick en breasts; jellylike rice milk starchy pudding, eaten with sugar and roseWater; and yaourt, with chopped nutmeats, are other dishes.
 'The Turks are fond of sweets. They prepare kind of bread, which they soak in honey and eat with rich cream They, also, prepare pastry in strings soaked in honey. Their fruits are excellent, better in quality and of greater variety than the fruits of the west. Meats alone of raw food ma terials, with the exception of mutton, are poor ia Turkey, but, then, the Turk is good deal of a vegetarian.
 "The simple diet of the Turk has taken nothing from his good physique; rather, likely, it is one of the main sources of his health and strength. The Turkish porter, or hamal, dimes on chunk of bread, costing one cent, together with melon, or bunch of grapes, or an onion, or piece of cheese, to the cost of another cent, and considers his meal complete. Yet his daily toll consists in carrying packing cases, pianos, and other knlck-knacks around on his back to the istonishment of every visitor ac- qualnted only with the prowess of DOT ters lr the west. This rugged Turkish burden-bearer eats dinner at night which Tn times of peace costs about four cents-a bowl of pilaff with bits of meat in it."
 Montenegro, upon whose corN1uest and subjugation the Austrians are said to have determined, is distin- guished in history as the constant, ir- repressible, fanatic, midget foe of the Turkish empire. These Black moun- tain people, who, today are defying greater powers than the Turk, face the menace of national extinction and oblivion.
 The Montenegrins, as people, were born of the fierce struggles that pre- ceded Turkish mastery of the Balk- ans. In the Middle Ages, Montenegro belonged to the Servian kingdom. Over the battlefield of Kossovo G389) prince-ruler of Montenegro, of royal Servian blood, gathered his mountain eers about him, together with rem nants of the folk who fled from the plains, and began the centurics-long, deadly drama of the Turkish Monte negrin feud, one of the longest, most bitter and relentless feuds of history.
 Wave after wave of Ottoman inva- sion dashed it's force in vain against the inaccessible Black mountain country, and, betweeen the times of Turkish efforts at conquest, upon the least or no prOVocatiOn at all the Montcnegrins sought the Turk in his own country; carrying death and de- struction to the plains. By 14S5 inc Montenegrins found themselves shut fast within their mountains. Their
