HE KNEW THE TURK.
So He Boldly Proceeded to Take ths
Law Into His Own Hands.

In his book, Forty Years In Con
stantinOple:" Sir Edwin Pears tells the
following story to illustrate the Turk.
attitude toward foreigners:
l knew the Englishman of whom the
story was told. and l persuaded him
one day to give me his own version.
He sued man III the chief Turkish
court that has jurisdiction over cases
between Europeans and Turkish sub
jects.' When the Turkish defendant
came to tell his tale he spoke of the
EngliShman as a giaour. or infidel. The
Englishman objected. Although the
judges knew perfectly we'll that it is
contrary to Turkish law to use such
an epithet. they did not interfere,
whereupon the Englishman said, IF
you call me giaour again l shall take
the law into my own hands"
The Turk at once replied. "Well. you
are a giaour."
The Englishman stepped across the
floor three or four PAGES and gave the
Turk blow on the nose that startled
him and the court. AS the blood flow
ed freely there was great hubbub.
and orders We're given to arrest the
EngliShman. He was II big. powerful
fellow, and instantly he smashed the
stool on which he was seated and
cried out that he would brain the first
| man who laid hands upon him.
Alischan, the dragoman who first
told me the story. said that every one
hesitated to attack the Englishman.
and he. Alischan, was asked by the
president to tell the aggressor that if
be would apologize there would be an
end of the matter
"Apo!ogize!' said the. Englishman.
Not bit OF it. He insulted me, and
| let him have it"
Alischan went back to the president
and said. This is the kind of an Eng
lishman who won't stand an insult.
and | can do nothing with him."
Thereupon the court ordered the pro-
| ceedings TO go on as if nothing had
happened.

AN EMBROIDERED CEILING.
tr Once Graced the Chinese Imperial
Palace at reXing.


One OF the most beautiful! and elab-
crate pieces of embroidery ever eXhib-
tied in New York was the ceiling of
tle council chamber of the imperial
palace at Picking. This ceiling was
formed of yellow silk of heavy quality
that much resembled faille in the
weave. The back WAS q greenish
blue. woven in small .iamOnd pat
tern. The total measurements Of 1t
all were twenty-One feet six inches
long and nineteen feet six inches wide.
The design with which it was EN-
tellished was an imperial dragon in
the center and four others. one in each
corner. Encircling these a groundwork
was formed Of cloud pattern, and dis
persed were small bats and other SYM
bols. The cloud effect was worked out
In blue and purple and the bats In
pink. The dragons were largely gold
work. and a threefold line Of gold sur
rounded each PAL eof the design.
The story of this ceiling and how 1t
came to New York includes small
1t was in the imperial council chamber
at Picking that the ENJOYS Of the va
rous nations met in 1902 to settle the
Boxer difficulties At the close of the
session a representative of the emper-
or courteOusly Informed them that the
contents Of the chamber were consid-
cred profaned by the presence Of for
eigners and that they were therefore
at liberty to divide among themselves
the chambers furnishings. In this
manner the ceiling fell to the share of

LIVES OF SOLDIERS
SAVED BY ACCIDENT
Many Fighters Escape Death Be-
cause Shells Fail to Explode,
Says Ambulance Driver.

How soldiers often escape death by
the meres. fluke is told in a letter just
received in this country from mem
Der OF the American ambulance field
service in France. Describing a day
spent among the wounded in the
trenches, he writes:
We had a little supper in the shelter
before our last trip back to the hos
pital. and took the opportunity to ask
the sergeant in charge about the re-
tarled shell that the Germans had sue
ceeded in landing ON the roof Of the
shelter a few nights before. Men
around the camp had spoken Of it, but
there are so many of these tales that
they are hard to believe. This one,
however. was quite true. A German
retarded sholl had landed right on the
roof, burr ling down into the sand
bags until within yard of the ceiling.
and then failed to explode. Seven or
eight men were in the shelter ut the
time. and if the shell had been an Or
binary one there would not have been
enough left of either shelter or men
to put into an ambulance.
The soldier in this war is exposed to
death and that which is often worse.
lifetime of acute suffering. practical
ly at every moment except when he is
withdrawn far enough behind the fir
ing line to secure little rest undis-
turbed by shot and shell. No spot
along the front is safe from "acci-
dents" The daily toll Of wounded
even when the official report is quiet
is proof of this fact. Therefore the
heroism Of the soldier Is not mo-
mentary battle fever carrying him
through brief crisis: it is constant
and steady morale-a readiness to meet
death at any time and anywhere.
