The young roan was overwhelmed with gratitude at what he regarded as his chief's supreme act of confidence in him. One day, though, a friend said to him: "Has your commander tried to get his ugly, chicken -eyed daughter off on you?" 'To be 'chicken -eyed' is to have an ail- ment that makes one blind at night. Nothing could be more prejudicial to a woman's charms in a Turk's view than poor eyesight. Well, the young naval officer extricated himself from his en- gagement, Ieaving his prospective father- in-law raging and threatening. "For a time, in his chagrin and disap- pointment, the young man eschewed all thought of marriage.

"Not polygamy, but divorce, consti- tutes the grievance of tlie Turkish wo- man. Few Houses contain more than one wife, but divorce is frequent and at- tended by few legal complications. The husband can always remarry his wife three times. If after he divorces her and wants to remarry her she niu:st go throught the formality of being married to another man and then divorced from him. ., ThisP ract given has rise to a new The that of proxy husband. The proxy husband generally blind and a bear andrelinquishes his bride without regret as soon as the legal pricesses have been gone through. "Sometimes, however, he insists on holding on to her. There was a man liv- ing on the shores of the Bosphorus who quarrelled with his wife and divorced her as many times as he legally could. But although ho had difficulty in living with her in peace, ho had no sooner lost her than he found he could not get along without her. How to remarry her for the fourth time was the problem. "At this crisis a friend offered to play i'll woman, anyhow, according to Mrs. Richards, who says that in it land of surprises she is the biggest surprise of all. "Though supposed to be oppressed and euppreased, she is pre-eminently a wom- an's rights woman, fully aware of Jeer privileges and insistent on getting them," Mrs. Richards said. "Though at home she is confined within barred cages, when abroad lie goes about freely. "Though supposed to be shy, compli- ant, without force of will, she is neither shrinking nor retiring. The ,Turkish woman is not only self-sufficient but self assertive. "Iter alights, and especially her legal rights, are more clearly defined and more vigorously enforced than the rights of women in many more advanced :oun- tries. In the first place she enjoys the eight to protection. Everywhere and al- ways she is ander the proetction of scei- ety. "Inside her home she is as if in a shrine; .outside her luorne she is an object of ,especial concern to every policeman There are no men ogling her from street earners, no impertinent young fel ewe to compo up .beside her when she pauses to book in a shop window. She is never spoken to on the street. For a span to speak to a Turkish w^emam en the street or offer any attentions would be as much as his life was worth. "In Turkey no anan speaks to a woman when on the street or aecompanies Auer in public. Fathom pass ,their daughters by without a greeting, brothers this sisetrs, even husbands their wives. The reason for this is not far to seek. "With all the women veiled, except as to their eyes and mouths, it is mlmost impossible fora man to tell one woman from another out.of doom, and when 1,e thinks he is greeting his wife, say, he may be addressing a total stranger. Such a situation would be intolerable to the Turkish sense of fitness. "So far do the Turks carry their de- sire for •the complete social separation of the sexes in public that it is rare for a Turkish gentleman even to look at a Christian woman. For the same reason, if .he chances to met a European or Am- eriean lady whom he knows, he well not greet her till seh has greeted him.

She knew perfectly well that she was on the corner of 23rd street and Seventh avenue, The highwayman reminded her that he was a desperate man. His eyes emitted the usual baleful gleam. "Drop that handbag and throw up your hands!" he gritted. "1 just won't do any such thing!" said Miss Stubbs, with docisicn, "\Vy waist is tight at the arms, and, besides, I for- got to count my money befgre leaving the office.

"Come now, miss, get action!" ho warned her, waving his gun. "Don't be impatient," Miss Stubbs begged, sweetly. Then she took from the reticule a purse, unsnapped it, removed a roll of bills, snapped it, put it into the reticule, unlocked the handbag, put the reticule in it, unlocked the small valise, depos- ited the handbag in it, locked it and be- gan counting the bilis.

'Phe young business woman unlocked the valise, took out the handbag, took out the reticule, opened it, removed the purse, unsnapped it and emptied a pilo of small coins into her lap.

For instance, 1 was told of the case of a newly ;married young Turkish couple who were so much in love with each other that they over- looked the regulations and began to take walks together. For this purpose they chose the quietest, most secluded streets in the immediate neighborhood of their own homes, instead of taking to the more frequented thoroughfares, although they were both what might be called enraneipated. Their action, however, did not ,encape the vigilant eye of a police officer. Idirst they were scan by him to be walking up and down, hand in hand, and to bo talking together.

I Many Made in Europe, and Were Often Hand Carved. Dr. James Cox has come into posses- sion of a genuine man killer in the shape i of an Indian tomahawk. The weapon was ploughed up by William Dunafee on his farm two and a half miles north of Mastontown, Preston county. Except for a few rust spots the tomahawk is in a fine state of preservation. It is made of steel and is the work of white men, as Indians never made steel toma- hawks, but bought them from traders. It has been hand carved in graceful patterns and it is doubtful if the hand work•on it could be done for less than $10. Ia is a pipe tomahawk, that is, it combines the two. A neat steel bowl was brazed on, opening into the handle, and the handle was the stem. It was never ground to a keen edge. Indians preferred tomahawks rather blunt when the weapon was meant for war purposes, beause a sharp thin edge would be more likely to stick fast if it struck a bone. It did not belong to an Indian native of West Virginia, because this state caesed to be the home of Indians about 1650 to 1670. They were exterminated or driven out about that time by a Mo- hawk invasion from New York. The In- dians who had their homes along the Monongahela, Kanawha. Cheat and other streams before that time, and whose flint arrows we still find in abund- ance, had only stone hatchets. These implements are still occasionally found in graves and elsewhere, They belonged to the Indians who had no contact with white men, and whenever a stone hatch- et is found in West Virginia it may be taken for granted that it belonged to a nation who lived there more than 250 years ago. How much older it may be than that no one can tell. It may be thousands of years older. The, steel tomahawks, however, tell a different story. They are the handiwork of white men. The Indians• bought them and carried them on war expeditions, The fine specimen found near Mason- town was, in all probability, lost by some warrior on a raid among the set- tlements further east. The warrior prob- ably came from Ohio and the date may be fixed approximately between 1755 and 1790. During that period of thirty -live years Indians were accustomed to make war raids across Preston county. Front 1755, the year of Braddock's defeats un- til about 1765, the close of Pontiao's war, parties of Indians occasionally used the trail which crossed Cheat River at Dunkard bottom in their excursions against the settlers of IIanipshire county. That old trail passed near the place where the tomahawk was found, though perhaps not over the exact spot. During the Revolutionary War Indi- ans made sev4nal raids into Prestos* county. We can, if we choose, suppose that some member of a raiding party lost the tomahawk during one of those excursions. Wo may also risk the guars that the weapon was made in England, although there is nearly as much ground for six pp - o0s1n that it tas Made in France. Doth cuntrries made tomahawks and ,sold them to Indiana.—Morgantown Chrortt- i HIER IDEA. Benton Holme—I want to take you to the theatre to -night, but I felt as though I couldn't afford it.

Sir, After selling all I could giving barrels away, and stuff- ing my hogs till they would eat no more, I still had, last fall, about two hundred tons of big, juicy, find fla- vored apples Ieft on my hands. I in- serted in your valuable paper an ad. that I was willing to send free a barrel of picked fruit, freight paid in advance by me, to any one who would apply, there being, of course, no ehargo for the barrel.

ROYAL YACHT OF BRITAIN. What It Cost, and How It is Fur- nished. The royal yacht of England, the Vic- toria and Albert, cost the pretty sum of $6,000,000. She was launched in May 1899, with the present Princess of Wales as sponsor. She is 430 feet long. Her engines are of 11,000 horse -power and slie has a speed of about twenty knots an hour. Her coal supply will carry her from Eng- land to the Riviera, The fittings and decorations are qui- Ietly rich and sumptuous.L`i'en on the upper deck, solid silver iii used for the deck fittings. All the apartments are panelled in enamelled white, avhile the necessary warmth of color is obtained in the furniture, carpets and draperies. In the Ring's private stateroom the carpet is a rieh blue, which well matches the blue morocco of the chairs. All the furniture here is of grained mahogany, slightly inlaid witlu other woods. .As to the Ring'•s bedroom, it is se- verely simple, with its swinging bedetead of silver plate, without draperies; its satinwood furniture, silver-plated metal work and specially woven carpet. The Queen's bedroomis much larger than the King's. It is a model of grace and beauty with its (white panelling and stately canopiel bed suspended from the ceiling. The furniture is of dainty grain- ed satinwood with silver flutings. The color scheme is a soft green, The coverlet of the bed has an elaborate monogram surmounted by a erown. Queen Alexandra's dressing room is a ,large apartment with a bath of jasper and dressing tables of inlaid satinwood with front and side mirrors, in addition to an enormous panel in the wall. Opopsite the royal sleeping apart - menta is the drawing room. The wails are, of course, panelled in white; the furniture is of hand painted satinwood, and the dranglnes ,of ,blue edit. The state dining room is an apartment of noble dimensions, occupying`one-•third of the vessel's length, and lighted by no fewer than twenty-six windows and two large skylight. Frons floor to ceiling it is panelled in white, accented with a pilaster treatment of great beauty and delicacy. Covers con be laid here for thirty guests. The smoking room is close by. (The grand staircase, leads from the reception roost up to the state deck, anost of which is occupied by the royal apartments, including a private dining room. An electric elevator assuages the trials of seasick royalties. There is also a well-appointed hospi• and 41rd dispensary down below, where a titled; physician presides over the health of the Rinngg and Queen. The yacht is commanded by a rear admiral and lie has a crew of 280 men, The officers are. selected from the best in the navy. Although the Victoria and Albert is a comanissioned ship, alre never fires et sa- lute, not even in reply to the guns of foreign warships. If she is at anchor, the gurardship of the port answers for her. If at set, her cruiser escort replies. The present royal yacht is not the first Victoria and Albert that has flown the royal standard. Her earliest pre. decessor was an insignificant .paddle- wheel auxiliary yacht, with a big spread of canvas to help her engines do a poor twelve knots. She was broken up in 1868, but in 1855 was superseded bthe late Queen's Victoria and Al- ert, to which Queen Victoria was cal- mest fanatically attached. here again was a lunge paddle wheel yacht, quaintly honeycombed with cabins, staterooms, boudoirs and the like to no.'onnnodate the extensive family and aged retainers of the old Queen. For when Queen Victoria went to sea elle usually took her entree family with her, eo that the big craft became ct kind of Sleeting nursery, The deeorations were extremely old- fashioned, the walla of chintz being covered with lot lines of pink flow - ere on a white background .exactly the pattern ane cones aeroes to -day in re - 3646 IDnglieli faros house* off the beaten true lcof the railroad, far from modern innovations. Yet on no account would the Late Queen permit alterations, either struc- tural or decorative, and to the last the old V. and A., as it was called, re- mained exactly as it was in the days of the Prince Consort. During the last few years of Queen Victoria's life her grown up family and their relatives were 'constantly complaining of the inconvenient aecom- tnodation of the royal yacht, and at r length the Queen reluctantly consented to the building of the present vessel. Nevertheless, Queen Victoria never so much as went on board, for all her affec- tions were centred on the old fashioned yacht, which, by the way, was finally broken up in the Portsmouth dockyard last year.—Harper's Bazaar. PALL, WEAK WOM LN Gain New Health and Strength Through Dr. Williams Pink Pi11s, Anaemia is just the dootor's name for bloodlessness, Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood. Can any cure be made direct or certain? Blood is bound to cure bloodlessness. Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills cure anaemia just as food cures hunger. They eured Mrs. Clare Cook, a young English woman, who recently came to this country from Portsmouth, England, and is at pre- sent residing at Prince's Lodge, Hali- fax County, N. S. She says: "I am an enthusiastic believer in the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a eure for anaemia. I had suffered from the trouble almost from childhood, but a few years ago it developed into a severe type of the trouble. My skin was pale and waxy, my lips seemed bloodless, and my entire system was run down., I suffered from head- aches, dizziness and weak spells, and my friends feared that I was' going into a decline. I tried tonics and emulsions, but without benefit. Then a friend who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the same trouble ad- vised me to try them. In a short time they began to help me and in a couple of months I was quite well, the color having returned to my face, nay appetite improved and I had gained in weight. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all anaemic girls and women." The pale anaemic person needs only one thing—new blood. Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing -- they make new blood. They won't cure any disease that isn't originally cans - ed by bad blond. But when Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills replace bad blood with good blood, they strike straight at the root and cause of all common diseases like anaemia, headaches and backaches, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, kidney trouble, and the secret troubles that every woman knows, but none of them like to talk ebent, even to their doc- tors. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or Six ,loxes for $2 50, front the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The foundations are said to be sinking as a natural and inevitable consequence of the pumping which accompanies the work of driving the various tunnels that. have been constructed and others which are still in progress in its immediate vicinity. The cross and ball which surmount the dome are now stated to be three feet out of the perpendicular. This is the conclusion arrived at by Mr. Frederick Hovenden, secretary of the London In- stitution, after spending two years in finding a plumb -lino among the adjacent buildings in order to gauge the deviation. The experts go further still. This in- cessant tunneling which is proceeding in all parts of London is undermining the metropolis. The Bank of England and several other buildings have had to be supported by underpinning. Useful Hints. An emergency luncheon dish is boiled rice, with ]lam and tomato sauce. A cup of rice is steamed until tender, and while still Trot a little butter and some cold lean ham, chopped very fine (not more than half a cupful), are tossed tightly through it. The mixture is then piled in loaf shape on a ,platter, and a tomato sauce poured. over. The dish is a very sufbstantial one, and well takes the place of meat. Save the ravelling cut from new table cloths before hemming, as they are use- ful in mending thin places or holes is other cloths. For a vegetable puree either young turnip tops or even young, fresh nettle tops are recommended. They are cooked' in the same way, boiled, rubbed through a sieve and added to cream. A mixture of glycerine and starch is excellent to apply on stained hands. i=- To Keep Servants. Give your maids as good wages as you can; pay her regularly, or give her reasons why she should wait. Do not expect her to be a mind-reader, but tell her just what you want done. Give her as pleasant a room as possi- ble, and let her have time to keep it in order. Do not talk as if your own was the only right way to do things. Never allow children to treat her with disrespect or make her unnecessary work. A command given in an abrupt, dis- agreeable tone will often snake her angry and unhappy. If you like her, tell her so sometimes. If she is cross or irritable, be patient with her. She may be suffering acutely, mentally or physieally. Never reprimand her before children or strangers. Always say "Good morning" and "Good night." Always say "please" and "thank you" when you ask her to do anything for you, and insist upon the children doing the same.—Woman'* Lite.
