OLD TURKISH TRADE UNIONS
GulIds Formed of Members of Various Industrial Vacations Common
 In Constantinople.

Whatever may be the eventual gov ernment of Constantinople, the count less guilds or corporations created by members of the various industrial vo- cations followed by the population will probably respond slowly to the change. In Constantinople. says a writer on Turkish life, every trade and calling has Its own union, many of which are of long ancestry: the esnaf. or guild, of the shoemakers, for example, is said to have been granted power to judge and punish its own members for public offenses as long ago as the six teenth century. in return for some service which 1t then rendered Sulei- man the Magnificent. Organized for the common benefit as traders or work CTS. the members of the guilds are ad. mitted irrespective of race or religion so long as they follow that particular occupation. The business of the or ganiEation Is conducted in lodges, the officers of which have been held re- sponsible for the good behavior of members. Although future conditions in Constantinople will doubtless modi- fy them, the esnafs will probably con- tinue to be power.

Suited Him Riuht Then,

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson tells this story of William Terriss. the hand somest actor of his day: Irving was very fond of Terriss and was nightly amused by the unconscious imperti- hence with which Terriss treated him. Irving had a grill room just of the stage at the Lyceum in London, near his own dressing room. One night Ter riss smelled the savory odor of appe- tizing cooking. Fine smell. that! he said to Irving, during walt in the wings. Yes, very goodp agreed Irving. and added: You must come along some time and have supper with me. my boy! Nothing would please me bet. ter,' said Terriss, to which Irving re piled: Well, when would you like to comeT Tonight!' responded Terriss promptly. Irving was delighted with the businesslike acceptance of his in. vitation."

White Elephants.

Among the more conservative Si. amese the change of the national flag from red to alternate stripes of red, white, blue, white, and red was prob ably a matter. here and there. of ad- verse comment. but the color arrange ment, one may imagine, Is relatively unlmportant so long as the ancient white elephant remains the national symbol. Indeed the rest of the world would hardly know Siam without the white elephant, and recent traveller in Siam describes the care with which these animals are maintained in Bangkok. One may wonder. however. just how seriously the white elephant is regarded by the energetic business men of Siam who are now strenuously preparing to improve trade conditions with western nations.

Uncle Sam's harvest of seals on the Pribilof Islands this sea- son will represent a value of more than $2,000,00O, according to preliminary advices of the 1920 catch received yesterday by &c., attle headquarters of the United States bureau of fisheries, which has control of the Bering Sea seal islands. Last year skins from the Pribilof Islands brought as high as $146 each at auction to fur riers. The last government sale brought an average of only $73 per skin, and the price is said to be on a further slump. Several thousand skins, the first of the 1920 harvest on the Pribilofs, will arrive in Seattle on the naval "a. dio tender Saturn about Septem- Der 10.

Schools of Dunkerque.

One of the things that deeply i'm pressed the company of journalists from some twenty different nations who recently visited Dunkerque in a party was the story of the public schools. DunkerQue. although 1t es. caped occupation, was under constant bombardment; the enemy at one time and another had the city under fire by land. sea and air, but. except for . short time in the beginning when the buildings were used for war purposes, the schools of Dunkerque like those of Reims. continued in session. and new schoolhouses were built. When. ever the city was bombarded. the pu- pills, biz and little, marched to the eel lar in orderly procession, and some times the entire session was held there
 If . schoolhouse was partly shattered
 1t was repaired at once, and school promptly resumed; nothing. in short. was allowed to interfere with the con. tinuity of the schools of Dunkerque.

GAVE THANKS FOR ARMISTICE
Fsrvent Gratitude to God Was First Thought of the Gallant De-
 lenders of Verdun.

The artillery fire died out, and there den end of the world. Then from the 40 bells. high in the towers of the old cathedral at Verdun, pealed forth those silvery tones that proclaimed again. Peace on earth" The armistice had come.
 Slowly the great doors of the ca thedral opened and in rushed 600 allied soldiers. Doctor Maurer of the Red Triangle, says writer In Association Men. quietly walked to the altar rail and knelt there. Captains, neutenants and soldiers reached for the bell ropes. and he feared the opportunity for religious service was lost But they saw the lonely figure and came into the choir space. As he rose all was quiet.
 Boys" he said. "I believe we all want to sing and that we ought to sing the Doxology."
 At its close Doctor Maurer raised his hands. and Mohammedans. Catho | heads and fell on their knees. Amid the ruins 600 soldiers knelt-Moham medans pumping their heads on the stones, Catholics devoutly crossing themselves and Jews and Protestants with hands clasped, faces shining and eyes lifted.
 Doctor Maurer led in that everwon- derful prayer, "Our Father Which Art in Heaven" He then suggested that the Americans sing My Country, 'Tis of Thee" while the English sang God Save the King" At the close of the singing the French soldiers pushed for ward and sang, as only Frenchmen can sing, the "Marseillaise."
 The French general came forward and took Doctor Maurer's hands. q want to thank you," he said. flor lead ing these men on this occasion of grace to offer praise to God for the deliver ance of France and for the safety of the world"

Peanut Now Important Crop.

The peanut has accomplished won ders for agricultural development, and has increased production by acres and doubled the value of land in many sections. It similarly helped Alabama through the crisis when the appear ance of the weevil played havoc in the cotton fields of that state. It has done we'll throughout the South. and Virginia. which formerly stood first in its production, has sunk to fifth place.
 The peanut oil industry has added to the value of the crop. and this year the total harvest and value were the greatest ever recorded. in spite of a reduction in acreage. The once de- spised peanut has proved itself valu- able agricultural asset to the South and the country. and the end is not yet.-New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Famous Floral Fetes.

In Britain flower festivals are con- paratively a modern institution. Rose day, June 25, dates no further back than the summer of 1912, and Primrose day only from the death of Disraeli. Lord Beaconsfield, in 1881. In other places, however, floral fetes have been held regularly for centuries. Malta, for example, holds a floral festival every summer in memory of the expulsion of the Turks by the Knights Hospitallers. in 1885. While 1t lasts all work Is sus- pended, and the streets of Valetta are filled with flower-bedecked crowds, who pelt one another with blossoms until the whole city Is carpeted with them.

Mine Produces Sand and Coal.

A mining plant that produces both coal and sand is. according to a writer in the Scientific American, located in Ohio. This unique mine covers about 150 acres. The surface stratum Is high-grade holding sand and has an average depth of about nine feet. It Is deposited on a bed of shale about five feet in thickness and under this Is a seam of excellent coal averaging from four to five feet. A considerable tonnage of coal also has been mined. As the shale stratum Is uncovered by the removal of the sand, steam shovels will be utilized to strip the shale, thereby exposing the seam of coal, which will be mined in the open.

Webs of Spun Quartz.

Recently artificial spiders webs have been made from threads of spun quartz. They are wonderfully fine with much the same appearance as strands of real cobweb and actually catch flies fairly we'll when the fibers have been stroked with straw pre- viously dipped In castor oil. The oil takes the place of the gluten in an ordinary spiders web. giving to the counterfeit the requisite thickness. It has even been found possible to at tract a spider to such a web by a tuning fork vibrating near the latter thus suggesting the buzz of trap. ped fy.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Panama's Mahogany.

The mahogany of Panama Is a tree sometimes reaching height of nearly POO feet and six feet thick. It often grows in clumps so that 1t Is not un- common to find 1t to the number of 10000 large trees to the square mile. Such forest of mahogany. however, Is rare, although there are occasion. ally places of this sort. AS general rule. the mahogany occurs in scattered clumps, so that an average of two or three such big trees as those above mentioned per acre Is the most that timber men would expect to find.

where she Drew the Line.

Nora hated to have her hair washed SO mother came to this solution: She would tell the child that sometimes hair turned red if washed with tar soap. The plan worked beautifully. There were no more uproars on hair washing days. for the little one was fond of red hair. But one day when mother began using the same soap for Morals bath, the child let out a scream and said. "Mama. like red hair, but oh, don't want red feet. too"

Poisonous Insects,

Following Is by Henry Lindlahr, N. D.: "The danger of life from bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and in- sects have been greatly exaggerated. According to popular opinion. anyone bitten by poisonous Insect or reptile, as the rattlesnake. Gila monster or tarantula, Is doomed to die, while as matter of fact statistics show that only from 2 to per cent of such cases prove fatal. In this, as in many other instances. popular opinion should rather be called popular supersti- tion.' .'"-I.os Angeles Times.

 Victory Surprises Sauer
 Sauer's victory over Daviscourt Monday night by gaining a fall on the big fellow was as surprising to the local fayorite as it was to the big crowd Pete frankly confessed last night.
 "Daviscourt's wonderful reputation naturally made me doubtful as to my ability to stay the 90 minutes with him, let alone pin his shoulders" said Sauer yesterday.

Quite naturally, he was nerv- ous Not that he doubted his own ability. but that he entertained more or less apprehension as to just how good he really was when stacked up against a recognized first -rater.
