Some time ago 1 was walking in the country with a friend, when suddenl! we heard a soft hum high overhead. says writer in British information bureau bulletin. It took us some time to find the tiny black speck, which looked no larger than a gnat. far away in the blue.
 How awful 1t must be-" my friend muttered. ito be at that ghastly height" And I smiled, as l remeIn- bered having once thought that my self.
 As fact one has no horror at height. The higher one is. the less real does the world beneath seem. the rOrP stable and safe is the machine in which one is comfortably sitting.
 Height. regarded from housetOp, may he unpleasant. From 10000 feet 1t is delightful.
 The pure. sweet air at high attitudes stimulates, like wine, and the world beneath stretches away all round to the misty horizon, and looks like d gigantic sunlit map. 1 expected to feel giddy, if not airSick. when l first went up and was amazed at the feel ing of SteadinesS and stability.
 One has no feeling of giddinesS, once contact with the ground and station ary objects is broken, but only sen satiOu of singular health and happi- ness. and on coming down after n series of smooth spirals there is an amazingly strong feeling of ''wantinG to go up' again Hnd taste once more the sweet. fresh air and delight ltll thrills of the new world
 But what a drC"dtul noise lhc cn' zine must make, 1 heard some n" remark the other day.
 Apart from hc fact that the es:s are covered b. warm leather flying cap there is. on inc contrary, some thing very Sonthing In the even note of the motor. and after. being in the air for some time il is rather apt to make one feel sleepy.
 The higher the altitude, the stronger the feeling of collaboration seems to become. and the world is apt to seem

LAND INNOCENT OF BATHTUBS
in Turkey the Stationary Tub, So Fa. n,iliar in Western Lands, is Ab-
 solutely Unknown.

The Turk in spite of his constant bathing (bathing heinz enioined ny the Nohammedan religion) has no sta tionary tubs nor wash bowls-indeed, Turkish houses are quite innocent of plumbing. says Edith Gilfallin. in an article on the colorful ancient capital of the Ottoman empire. But as the Turk never bathes save in running water the brick floors contain drains that carry the water to the garden out aide. Always before eating. servant pours, from a pitcher, water over an orientars hands; which seems wise provision, for they do not use knives nor forks; spoons only are used TO eat soup or sherbets.
 They do not sit around a table as ws do, but sit on cushions round foot high table trays. All over the near east they have but two meals. Break fast is & sort of movable feast up to eleven o'clock. It consists of coffee. fruit and various hot breads. The Turk Is enabled to sustain life until his dinner at sunset by drinking innumerable cupfuls of thick, hot heavily-sweetened coffee.
 Dinner, which is consumed in the evening. Is the only meal the Turk takes in the bosom of his family. H often Is an elaborate affair of twelve courses: Tomatoes and squash and eggplant and other vegetables stuffed with rice or minced meat or cheese. dsh swimming in oil, mutton stews, goat fricassees roasted chickens. rich pastries and candies. preserves of plum and quince and fig and peach and always coffee and the narghlle- waterpipe.

 Unable longer to stand their mixed gianceS of curiosity and envy. he rose from rocker. yawned and sallied forth on the lawn.
 He took heart as Joe Ruggles, sta tiOn agent down in the valley, rushed up delightedly with a warm hand shake and inquired solicitously as to his folks"
 They're all we'll" he answered po- litely, and then. grasping the others arms, he pointed to nearby group.
 Ruggles looked and turned reprov- ingly to the inquirer.
 'Why. Dick Todd, don't ye remem- Der her? That's little Marian Skill man."
 Dick whistled and stared at the girl in amazement. Marian Skillman l. Dressed in a simple blue frock, her slender. graceful figure. outlined against the fresh green of the trees and grass, presented a picture of ex- quisite charm and beauty. She seemed to sense his stare. for she turned two dimpled cheeks, fair as the dawn, and two brown eyes, alight with dancing fire, full upon him and then ran up to him.
 Dick" she cried, delightedly. and then. for some unaccountable reason, she checked herself. The same feel Ing of restraint that marked the oth- CTS attitude toward him came over her, and he noted the change In her tone. with disappointment, as she added. What brought you down from rhe city7"
 'The wedding" he answered, with a grave smile, still holding her soft white hand. IT couldn't miss it. And then. too, I was hungry for a sight of the old place. Haven't seen 1t in six years"
 Twenty minutes later, Dick, still feeling lonesome, detached himself from the group about the newly-weds and sought out Marian. As ever their leader, he found her now among group of the younger folk. Intro- auctions followed, and then he man. aged to draw her away from the crowd, sensing their resentment ns he did so.
 Down the hill they trudged. In ab- stract silence, until they came to the bank of small steam, between the Crampton and Skillman farms, where. six years before, he had awkwatd!y held her hand and said ''good-by." Time and city life had wrought great changes in him since, but, as she seated herself, with grace, on the handker- chief he had spread for her on the grass, she still seemed the same little Marian. whose tousled black mane he had once pulled-more mature, more beautiful-but the same Marian. Lounging at her side, one arm thrown carelessly over big powder, he caught the indefinable look In her eyes he had noted at her first greet ing. With characteristic frankness, he came right to the point.
 What's the matter with me. Mar lan?" he demanded, and she started.
 "Why-nothing Dick" she aam- mered, guiltily.
 "Yes. there's something wrong," he insisted, grimly. T feel like tres Iasser. You all make me feel it."

In the hunt for new sources of leath. CT strange things are turning up. Il has been ascertained that the skins of frogs and toads can be tanned and turned to account for card cases and other fancy articles. The government fisheries bureau says the skin of the codfish furnishes an excellent leather tough as parchment and very durable. The same is true of salmon skin. Eel skins are employed In Europe for bind ing books. and In Egypt shoe soles are made from the skins of certain fishes caught in the Red sea. Sturgeon skin affords a handsome ornamental leath- CT. and the hide of the armored garfish is much valued In Europe, being cov- cred with horny plates that can be pol ished to an ivorylike finish.

In provisions :. there was a rise of 32c to 52c. Inasmuch as pressure of Argentine offering had been to d large degree responsible for the latest setbacks in the value of corn. the outlook that imports from Argentina would not broaden out as much as had been looked for led to a general rush this morning to buy corn here.
 Oats followed corn advancing car ly and weakening later.
