Tho TurkIsh Army.

Every Mahammedan subject in
Turkey is liable to service, and re-
mains liable for 25 years. At 81 the
young Turk enters the active army,
the Nizam, and remains In It for three
years. He must serve six years in
the reserve, called the Tchtrad, and
after this he remains nine years In
the army reserve, called the Redif,
which resembles the Geno-n Land
weir. ThiA-Eser-ias a secGad line

izen liable to service is finally en-

men liable TO service and of this num-
Der 10000 are enrolled as recruits.
The remainder, that is TO say, the
least effective, are given drill. and
they may perhaps be compared with
the extra r%eservists of the first class
in Germany. They finally find their
way into the Redif. Altogether, Tur-

Police In Biblical Tines.

George Gordon Battle told the mem
bers OF the New York Police Lieuten-
ants Benevolent association. assem-
bled In monthly meeting at Terrace
Garden, that 1t was no new thing for
the populace OF n city TO register
kicks against the police force. To
show how ancient this custom was.
he quoted the prophet lsaiah's arraign-
ment of the police force OF his day.
where he said: yet. they are greedy
dogs which can never have enough.
and they are shepherds that cannot
understand: they all look TO their WI
way, every one for his gain. from his
quarter"
Mr.. Battle had volunteered TO enter
tain the police lieutenants with an ad-
dress upon the historical development
of the English police system. He
traced the ourse OF the policeman
from the vigiles of the Emperor Au-
gustus down. through the watchmen OF
England. not neglecting TO touch on
the estimable Constable Bogberry.
Which led him TO conclude with the
thought that though the members OF
the New York police force were but
human, as q body the force had rec
ognized its obligations and lived up
60 them.

TRIO OF BIRDS
rRumPETER, SECRETARY AND
kAMicHl ALL USEFUL.
Festhered Destroyers Of Snakes,
Scorpions and Other NoxIous Crea-
lures That Infest South Amer
lea and Southern Africa.

The trumpeter bird is the ragpicker
of the woods and swamps of Guiana,
where he Ia always at work at his
trade, with his stomach for a pack
and his bill for a hook. He performs
a most useful but most extraordinary
service, d~evouring a perfect multitude
of snakes, frogs, scorpions. spiders. liz
ards and the like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame.
On the Guiana plantations he may be
seen fraternizing with the chickens,
ducks and turkeys, accompanying them
in their walks, defending them from
their enemies, separating quarrelers
with strokes of his bill, sustaining the
young and the feeble and waking the
echoes with his trumpet while he
brings home his flock at night.
The trumpeter is az handsome as he
is useful. Noble and naughty In his
aspect, he raises himself sp on his
long, yellow gathered legs and seems
to say, 81 am the trumpeter. the
lscourge Of the reptiles and the pro-
tector Of the focks."
In southern Africa there 10 another
great exterminator Of reptiles, the
snake eater, or secretary bird, q mag.
nifcent creature that attacks the
largest serpents, making q shield Of
his wings and a sword OF his beak.
The name OF secretary bird" 10 de.
rived from the plumes projecting
backward from It's head. which look
like quill pens carried behind ones
ear.
In South America, in the very neigh
borhood of the trumpeter's home, there
lives the Kamichi or Kamiki, which
wears a sharp horn projecting from
Ats forehead and a murderous spur
upon each Of its wings. With these
three weapons the serpents that he at
lacks are powerless against him and
are easily put to death.
The secretary bird. the Kamichi and
the trumpeter form a valiant and use
full trio. The trumpeter has two mer-
3ts above the others-the ease with
which he can be domesticated and his
musical talent.
The natives have a saying that he
has swallowed a cornet. Whether
p~romenading or war making, he fills
the air with his trumpet calls, and at
the sound Of his voice OF brass the
reptiles take to flight.

AMERICAN Y. N. c. A,
PEOPLE WONDER WHY 1T TAR.
RIES IN ROME.

Many people are asking what activ-
ity the American Y. M. G. A. in Rome
is pursuing, now that war is over
The clubroom of the organization Ia
bells itself as esta blished for the bene-
fit of American and other English
speaking soldiers and sailors. But, in
point of actual fact, there are none to
speak of. At one time there were
a great number; then Rome leave was
cancelled, and the American troops all
went home At present the American
and British soldiers and sailors in
Rome are only handful, and the uni
forms of four out of every five Ameri-
cans bear the Y. M. G. A. triangle.
One cannot imagine that there are
enough to make it worth while keep
ing up a clubroom in an expensive
part of the city. The Knights of Co.
lumbus broke up when their war &C
tivity was over the Red Cross has
gone.
But, besides the clubroom, the Y
M. C. A. has an Office, which certainly
does something, to judge from the
people going in and out, and the
American Military Mission" cars
waiting in attendance on it.
