Terrible Turk Is.
Indeed Terrible
In Kaiser's logs

The good old Turk, with a rosary,
compliment on his lips, a large tur-
ban on his reverend head, small
child nesting in the folds of his
ample gown, is a picture which has
bewitched many heart, says the
London Times. A philanthropic and
gentle philosopher, you will nd him
contemplating vacuum in many a
mosque and shrine in Asia Minor, and
no one can deny that he is a good old
Turk, charitable, benevolent and kind;
have no doubt he would save Ar
menians from pursuit if they came his
way though he would not go a yard
to find them; he would surreptitious-
ly convey food to English prisoners,
just as he would share his last crust
with NANCY street dog, for the pious
must be kind even to unclean things;
but his benevolence Is individual and
isolated; he is a sort of hermit crab
dwelling in a rosy she'll of personal
philanthropy; he counts for nothing,
nor would 5,OOO,O00 of him count for
anything.
Take again the young Turk with a
n
German uniform, a German parade
voice and German technical. educa-
ton. He has been reared in a SIAM
boul harme; when he was four years
old his mamma helped him first at
table and taught his elder sister to
kiss\ his hand; his papa taught him
that by blood alone could Christian
subjects be governed, and that by
diplomacy alone could the Christian
powers be set by the ears; his Ger
man professors taught him all there
was to be known about mass-sugges-
ton, Weltpolitik and high explosives.
Breeding, environment and educa-
ton combine to produce a very
complete foil to the passive philan-
thropist of the shrine. This young
man is the embodiment of ruthless
action and inflexible tyranny. His
mother taught him that whatever ee
wanted was his; his father taught
him to hold whatever he got; and his
German schoolmaster taught him
what he believes to be the universal
method Of getting what he wants.
Moreover, the German professor re-
inoculated him with some Of the de-
structive virus of his plundering Tu-
ranian ancestors.
The old Turk with a turban is the
negative; the young Turk with a
Mauser pistol is the positive; and,
contrary to all rules of philosophy, it
is the evil principle which is positive,
and the food for what it is worth,
which is negative.

Tong Wars Break
Our Anew Among /
Chinese In West

war OF Chinese tongs has begun
on the Pacific Coast. Three Chinese
were shot in different parts of San
franclsco,s Chinatown in the same
hou.r Loose-sleeved gentlemen moved
about other California cities with the
maximum of discretion. Perhaps there
Will be battle and sudden death in
other Chinese settlements throughout
the country, says the New York Sun.
Some years have elapsed since New
York's Chinatown was the scene of
tong encounters. There was a time
when a Hip Sing was in deadly neri1
on lower Mott street and an On Leone
who walked on Pell street took his
life in his hands. The elbow bend of
Doyers street was then the site of
many clashes in which the largest re-
voivers suddenly blazed away in a
fashion to make sighteers scurry. The
aiming, however, was generally very
exact.
About these inexplicable and muir
derous sallies great many legends
grew up. They were laid to bloody
feuds handed down for generations.
They were invested with the roman
tic and thrilling qualities of imper-
sonaI vengeance scrupulously carried
out at the other end of the world.
But as matter of fact they were
nearly always due solely to miserable
and highly mercenary disputes over
the gambling business. Landowner
within a radius Of fifty miles around
New York flocked to the little quarter
Off Chatham square to do their mark
citing and get a little excitement. There
was great influx, on Saturday night
The conduct of the Chinatown gan1b
ling resorts was extremely profitable.
In the course of the struggle to con-
troll 1t, use was made of the Cantonese
tongs, or brotherhood societies. some
what similar to our fraternal lorders.
The New York police were deceived
by this ruse. AS soon as gambling
was generally stamped out in the dis
trict the wars Of the tongs stopped.

the large quantity of iron lying about,
collected from the ruins of the Ameri-

ter a flash of more than usual in
tensity, the building known as the
Naugatuck Railway office was filled
with smoke, with every indication Of
its having been struck. An alarm
was given when the employees of the
company at the freight house were

preached last night, suggested rnst
the vast army OF the down and out on
Water street and other loiterers such
as are found any day or night at

Rev. Mr.. Brown said that Ameri-

with a draft system, efficient men

wherever found.
He intimated that the best place

OPPOSED TO SOFT STONE

President Frank W. Beers of the
public works department will call a
special meeting Of the board for some
night next week at which Mayor Tay-
lor will be present, and explain his
view regarding the use Of soft stQne
and trap rock upon the city streets.
The mayor is not a believer in the
use Of soft stone as street dresser.
He sees no objections to it's use as
filler six inches under the surface
Of the roadway. He believes trap
rock should be used as a top sur
face Of all the streets which require
maca damiziug.

Seeds Of all varieties can now
be sown until the end of August.
The following named varieties
will head is Succession Early

Stems Early Flat Dutch 100 to
10. All Season ITO to 100. Sure
head ITO to 12O days.
The All Season is one of the
best all around cabbage for
gardeners, stands all kind Of
weather-slow to run into seeds
does not burst early and weighs
from four to ten pounds. The
late sorts are the Late Flat
Dutch. St. Louis Late Market
forming very large heads is not
desirable for market. In buying
seeds be careful to get the new
crop and the varieties above
named.
After the beds have been pre-
pared and plants set out-then
comes the trouble with cut worms,
green worms, and cabbage flies.
For cut worm poison bait must
be used. To one pint of wheat
bran, one teaspoon of Paris
Green. Mix the Paris Green with
the bran until the poison is thor
oughly seated through the tran,
then add sufficient quantity Of
syrup to> moisten same. Scatter
small quantity near plants set
out, which should be done in the
evening as the worms generally
put their appearance at night.
That is the time they do their
damage.
You can also destroy cut worms
by examining pla1os that are cut
down every morning. By digging
around the plants you will find
one or two worms.
For green worms use lead
Arsenic. To one gallon of water,
two teaspoonful. Spray plants
during dry weather. Chickens
should be kept out of the garden
as they are liable to eat worms
that have been poisoned. For
cabbage flies use tobacco dust.
Do not think Of sowing turnip
seeds until the latter part Of
August. A great many sow too
early. They do not succeed and
then the seedmen is to blame.

LABOR CRISIS.

The strike of the coal miners in Illinois is an example of conditions which prevail in the labor world in q good many sections.
 The wages will not now procure gaa necessities of life. While food prices have been set at figures wholly above normal, there has been not even an effort made to ap- prozimate wages thereto. More o.cr it seems to be considered wholly unnecessary to do SO. taat j. is part of the dutv aad the highly patriotic privilege oi the workers 10 dis >coal and work at other labor Tor the sar,e wages and consequent ly for insufficient food and neces- saries during time of war.
 Unfortunately it takes energy to dig coal and t takes food and food in abundance to keep that energy goine. It will not come from hot air nor food economy circulars.
