than the I ule for the when of Turkey
to have More that, one v aft. Tile
lower chases ever he more than
one. It is only the wealthy pashas
who have two or three wives, the
latter number, according to the
Koran, being Madly allowed to
evc-ry Mussulnlan."
This is what Carlos RiverO, a
Spaniard who is at present it, Can-
ada, has to say about life in Tut -
key. Signor ,Iiivero is engaged it,
the china trade at roustautiuople,
and calla the Turkish metropolis his
borne.
"I have lived several years at Cou•
stantiuopte," continued the truvele.t,
who speaks excellent English, "and
have been as close an observer of
Turkish harem life as it was possible
for on outsider to be. The number
of Hives legally allotted to every
man i; exc•lu,ive. of any uunihw• of
slut,'., or concubines. Slaves and
con culimes :.re not fouled in the
homes of the lower classes. The
middle' classes keep slaves, llut the
ileal .i [les • household rarely have
concubines.
"But when I say that polygamy
is au exception I du not mean that
there ore not nu morons harems in
the Rio pi re, fur theru are. The
To; k, ho wove'', who is at the head
of the harem, does not have rho
royal time and Many privileges one
is led to suppose. He pays the
bil ls, though. Ile calls ou his
wives when it is convenient for
them to receive him. No acquaint•
anco, however slight, must he have
with others than those of his own
harem. Sometimes he cannot
entthr lois own house. When a lady
calls on one of his wives she loaves
her slippers outside the harem door.
Should the husband observe them
he knows laces are visiting, and
therefore he must tako a stroll
around the block, smoke a cigarette
or do something else until the fair
caller has departed.
"If in a public square or bazar
he should happen to, see some of
his own women lie is not permitted
to recognize them even if they are
squsnderiug his money on some-
thing that would be of no use to
any one. Ile may see one of his
wives paying fabulous prices fest.'silks and jowls, and know the bills
will be sent to him, but he must
not object in public. What he says
U1' doe3 at some subsequent time I
know not of, but there is no law I
know of that prevents hits from
blacking her eyes or pulling her hair
when he gets her in her apartments
at the harem."
"IIow are the poor eunuchs treat-
ed?" Sig. Rivero was asked
"Poor eunuchs !" remarked the
traveler, "The people of Turkey
don't thiuk the eunuchs aro abused
creatures, and they are not. Their
life is one perpetual picnic. They
are the greatest personages in the
harem ; their pewee is almost abso
lute ; they are captains of the girls,
and when the latter become unruly
the eunuchs are the ones to chartise
theta. They whip the girls with
rods when the offence committed is
serious enough. But they are the
most hideousscreatu'os in Turkey.
They have repulsive faces, short
thick necks and generally long legs.
They are haughty and overbearing
in their manners, and when escort-
ing their mistresses through the
streets plainly demonstrate their
contemptible disposition when
clearing the way for the pets of' the
Padiehah. They slash about indis-
criminato.ly with their 'courbatch,'
and make things generally unpleas-
ant for anybody who is not on the
lookout. Besides being paid prince-
ly salaries the eunuchs squeeze all
the money they can out of the in•
mates of the harem, and large for-
tunes are amassed by them.
"Mutes are still employed by the
sultan as guards or attendants
This class is not obtained from an
asylum or anything of that kind,
but ore manufactured. That brutal
practice of cutting out tongues of
youthful eunuchs in order to obtain
attendants in the offices where
officio' business is carried on is
still as popular as ever. The
youths are not only deprived of
the means of speech, but every-
thing else is doue to keep thein in a
state of ignorance. Thoy aro never
permitted to read or write. This
is no Arabian Nights romance, but
a deplorable truth."

A SKELETON IIULD BY A
CLUFJ,' TREE.
Freeman P. Lane, mho has juet
returned from Chaska, Minnesota,
says that a farther living near that
Itlaoee while traversing a copes of
wavy nuts timber some five miles
i nuc Chaska, discovered a human
iaeletou•seourely pinioned to a huge
tk. The supposition, based upon
the surroundiug conditions, is that
the roan must have met his death
before cold weather set in last fall.
The skeleton was in au upright
position, and the entire right arm
and shoulder were wedged into a
crack in the trunk of the tree.
The tree is very badly shattered
from top to bottom, and this theory
is evolved.
During a heavy thunder shower
last fall the man sought shelter
beneath the wide,spreading branches
of the oak, and a . thunderbolt rent
the tree from tip to root. killing the
man, and opening a crevice in the
tree, that immediately chided,
piuiuuiug the man. It is narrated
that a farm hand employed some
four miles from the death trap has
been Missing since early in Novem-
ber or late in October. It is sur-
mised that he was the victim of
nature's unwonted freak.
THE QUEEN PAWNED HER
JEWELS.
Queen Isabella of Spain, pawned her
jutt'els to raise money to tit out the ex-
pedition that discovered the new world.
Her sacrifice was not greater than is
made by many women of America, who
deny themselves ninny things in order to
have money to buy 1)r. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery fun their sick hus-
bands or children. This "Discovery" is
more important to ahem, than the one
made in 1492. Fur all d•ceases of the
Lunge, Liver, Throat, or Stomach, the
"Discovery" is a sovereign remedy. A
trial convinces, its continued use cures.
It purifies the blood, invigorates the
liver and strengthens and builds up the

-Morrish Cornish, a farmer liv-
ing in the Township of Oxford,
brought his wife on a short visit to
\HIamiltou. After returning home
he went to the house of a neighbor,
and while there seemed to be very
diapondeut. In the utoruing the
neighbor on whorl Cornish
called the previous Might thought
that he would go over and see
if his friend Morris had recover
ed from hie state of despondency
On approaching the place, he found
the five children of Mr. Cornish,
the oldest of which is only nine years
old, huddled together in a corner
of the orchard. On being asked
where there father was, they said he
was Iyiog on the bed, dead. This
startled the man, and he got anoth-
er neighbor, and together they went
into the house and found Cornish
lying across the foot of the bed with
his throat cut. In the roots adjoining
the bedroom they found a razor, all
covered with blood, Lying on the
table, showing that after having
committed the act he must have
walked at least 10 feet. The child-
ren say that they left their papa sit-
ting reading the newspaper when
they went to bed about eight o'clock,
and, on arising- in the morning,
they were horrified to find hire as
described.

He was treated at infirmaries, but was
always di,,charged as incurable. His
legs and hands were swollen to twine

drove hint alnost frantic, and he felt as
if hot irons wore passing through his
ponos The first application of St. Ja-
cobs Oil, relieved him, and continuing its
use the swelling left his limhp; in a week

-Upon the motion of Walter

and tho name of H. A. Mackelcan
of Hamilton, was struck from it by
the registrar of the court. This was
taken in accordance with an order
made on March 3, which in turn
was in accordance with a previous
order to the effect that if the solici•
tor did not by that day pay into court
certain motleys belonging to certain
of his clients and held by him, the
order to strick his name from the
rolls would go. It is not often

Cure has come to be regarded as only
real specific for that disease. In eaery

Fair at Chicago is from the largest
and most perfect "big tree" in Cali•
foruia, cut for the purpose from the
forest in ,Tulare County. It mea-
sures fully ninety-nine feet in cir-
cumference at the base. The height
of this monster specimen was 312
feet, being 172 feet to the first limb,
which limb measured throe feet in
diameter.
CONSIDER THIS FACT.
The fact that rheumatism ie caused by
an acid in the blood points to the remedy
Burdock Blood Bitters, which removes
all impurities from the blood not only
poisonous rheumatic humors but even ob•

-A prominent Tacoma, Wash ,
phyeician has made a startling reve-
lation, in which he alleges that he
was called two months ago to the
deathbed of a poor man named
Larry Pedersen. He told the
physician he wished his dying con-
fession written, and it was to the
following effect :-Pedersen work-
ed in Armour's porkhouae in
Chicago until 1887, then went to
Sioux City, to Silverthorn's pack
ing house, where he worked until
the spring of 1889, when he killed
a man named Larson Harstrum,
who worked with him cleaning the
floors in the killing rooms. Ile
stabbed hitn many times, and hie
blood flowed down the gutter to the
fertilizer, nixing with tho blood of
the swine killed that day. He then
ran the body among ten thousand
carcases killed that day. Near
morning ho took the body to the
chopping blocks, cut it in pieces,
covered it with salt and ran it to
the fertilizing rooms among piles of
pork left there for the month. He
then burned the clothes in the
furnace. Pedersen lived in Sioux
City for ttvo months after the
murder and then came west.
