What of st. Sophia at CONSTANT
noplel Many persons, observing how
the program of after-war redemption
is working out, are asking what dis
position is to be made Of the beau
tiful building erected by Emperor JUS
tinian, which for nine centuries was a
Christian church but for nearly FIVE
centuries has been a Mohammedan
mosque.
Already rival claimants to owner!
ship have appeared on the scene, but
an issue which some may think more
important than the ecclesiastical one
Is the artistic one. An Italian writer
says: Reopen the doors and win
dows that have been bricked up, scrape
away the plaster which covers wall
and roof, and. behold the basilica
whole and new"

Use Of DRINKING Water.

Drink whatever water you desire
with meals, but do not take ice water.
and do not use water merely to wash
food down your throat. Water aids d.
gestiQn by helping to liquefy the food
and by bringing the gastric juices into
closer contact with the food particles
Water does not affect the engines. and
weaken them by dilution as some PEG
pie maintain. because the power Of the
engines depends not on the percent
age which is present, but upon their
total amount and chemical compost
ton.

HOW MEN OF PERFECT
INV LY INNOCENT PUR-

SUITS ARE HANDICAPPED.
Dog whippers, bulldog burn
ers, pig-breakers, beetle-cutters,
and .wOrm-trimmers sound like
extremely cruel individuals;
though, as a matter Of fact, they
follow perfectly innocent vOca-
lions In metal mining and manu-
featuring. Mule-taming, In COM
parison, would appear mild,
II puzzling, job to those ignor-
ant Of the existence Of mules
which are not quadrupeds but
an important part Of the machin-
cry in the cotton and wooden in
dustries.
A man might reasonably be
reluctant to engage In certain
trades If he paid too much at
tention to the names of some Of
the people in them. He might
shun the acquaintance Of slash
ers, twisters, and even Of
slayers IN the textile manufact-
ure; of sluggers and branders
(boOt trade), Of beading men
and wipers-out (glass trade), Of
bumpers (textile engraving),
(hat-making), punchers (cOcoa).
scrato, .ers (lampD, spitters
(needles), tingle-makers (nails).
and rippers (coal mining).
Similarly, 1t would be wrong
to refuse our confidence to graft
ers, hot-air men, and tOlliers
(nOne Of whom have any connec-
tion with stories of American
crooks), or to buekers, gassers,
nObblers. and underhand pick
lers. They all play a harmless
part in the industry of their
country; and their technical
names, when misunderstood,
give a totally false impression
Of their characters.

low figures. But he had no success. and
he was much discouraged when he
reached the corner Of Broadway, where
Detective Sergeant Charles Savage

attempt.
Entering store, the man produced

position at the Whitman summer home.
He said one day while in a bedroom
cleaning the windows, he Noticed a

them into his pocket. Then he re-
signed his job.

Of laundry employees continues for
several weeks, according to statements
made yesterday by retail habcrdashers.
They declare that never has there
been such q rush of customers to buy
new linen. Already the man with the
average neck is finding it difficult to
get his size.
Some of the effects of the strike,
haberdashery statisticians say, are
these:
Every fifth man on the streets has
soiled collar concealed in his hip
pocket. Every night he adds another
collar to the accumulated heap at
home
Factories are working at top speed
to supply the collar market.
If the strike continues men will
either have to wear soft collars and
do their own washing, or will be linn
lied to collars that are too large or
TOO high.
The average New Yorker, who here
tofore has possessed not more than a
dozen shirts and couple OF dozen
collars, is fast collecting supply

An official Of Rogers Peet Company
:
the sale on some of their popular col
lars had increased 35 per cent. Other
stores which do not keep so close a
record asserted that their sales had
gone up enormously.
Stand here for ten minutes and you
VIII see at least five men walk in, pull
off their cravats and collars and say,
Give me a new one, same style,'" said
the manager of retail store on Park
Row. almost invariably the Gus
toner rolls up the soiled collar and
sticks it in his hip pocket. 1t is al
most the same with shirts, except that
a shirt lasts two and sometimes three
| days. You will see more bundles con-
tanning shirts in the home going
crowds than you ever saw before"
"It may be bad thing for the laun-
dries, but it is a good thing for us
said retailer on Fortysecond Street
"We are getting rid Of lot of old
styles. Stocks are becoming scant
Soon you will sec men with short necks
wearing high collars and men with
thin necks wearing loose collars"
Officials of the large laundry com
panes said that just about half of the

It Is Well
to Remember

that to Spain belongs the honor of
making known to the world the
existence of a Western continent.
The Welsh and the Norwegians
at one time antagonized the
claims of Columbus, but their
discoveries, based upon uncertain
data, proved to be the Azorean
Islands and the country about the
Gull OF St. Lawrence, and they
made no use of them.
The voyage of Columbus
which Ferdinand and Isabella,
the sovereigns of CASTLE and
Aragon, permitted, began on the
3rd of August, 1892, and on the
18th of October following the
first land appeared.
After great urgency at the
Court of the Spanish King and
Queen the persuasive Columbus
got the consent Of the hesitating
Queen, when she said:
II undertake the enterprise for
my own crown of CASTLE, and
will pledge my private Jewels to
raise the necessary funds"
Therefore, it is not to be forgot
ten that upon the banner of distin-
guished discoverers the noble
woman's name must stand close by
that of the navigator whose ships
first touched our shores.
