IN TURKISH HAREMS.

MONOTONOUS LIFE LED BY THE ... WIVES OF THE WEALTHY,

Www Household Duties for thr Verjr Poor to Perform—Influence of C1MM»1M SISTCI—The "Valid® Saltan*"—Bad 'State of Society.

The only listless and really idlo women one meets in this conntry are either the wretchedly poor or the inmates of the seraglio or some wealthy pasha's harem. The latter, especially the young among them, complain bitterly of the monotony of their life. Two beautiful and sprightly young girls-daugh-ters of a high government official—recently discoursed most eloquently to us of tha delightful freedom of their life when at their summer home on the Bosphorus. "Here," said they, "we can ride on horseback in the lovely conntry or row over these bright waters and are almost as free as other young ladies soon, though, when we return to our town house, we can only go out in a close carriage or when wrapped like a mummy in a yasbniac or ferezie." These young ladies were being educated by English and French governesses. Sometimes, I am told, these women rebel en masse, and nearly discard the close veil or some other "regulation" raiment, and little notice is taken of it until there is some scandal evolved and reported to the sultan. Then the screws are tightened. 1 am told that even in the harems of the wealthy the "honoum" (chief lady) often spends the morning hours busily engaged with her domestics and slaves in the commonest household duties, in order to relieve the tedium of her life of seclusion. They must always have the consent of the lord of the household before they can go out, even for a short call, or to any of the sylvan retreats where they so delight to picnic with their friends but, judging from the great number of veiled women we see abroad on Friday (their Sabbath), or on gala days, we must conclude suoh consent is seldom withheld. Though they have always to submit to being attended by a lynx eyed eunuch, they still look cheerful and care free, sitting about on soft rugs, eating sweetmeats, sipping coffee or smoking cigarettes, chatting with their .neighbors.

The very poor have rarely many household duties to perform. Their children are not allowed to occupy much of their time, but an sent to the mosque school or turned into the street to amuse themselves with other children of their class. The actual needs of the family are easily supplied, for a loaf or two of the black bread of tho country, the price of which is regulated by the government is very cheap, and a few pounds of grapes or olives, also very cheap, are for them quite sufficient "daily bread," and two or three simply fashioned garments constitute the needful raiment. There is no "setting to rights" of rooms, other than the rolling up and stowing away in closets of the pallets on which thoy have slept. Therefore the mistress of a house is soon at liberty to curl up in a corner of her divan with her needlework and beloved cigarette, if the weather is inclement, or if the day is fine can join some group on a grassy hillside, and spend the entire day in the most frivolous gossip, with their children playing about them in* all the freedom of unrestrained childhood.

It seems evident that Turkey took a viper to her breast when she gave the Circassian refugees a foothold here, for these people furnish much of the stuff from which tho most daring of brigands are made, and who mn measure the "power behind the throne1* theso outlaws command, when it is so well known that many a fair Circassian slave has a lover whose strength cannot be estimated. Col. James Baker is authority for the statement, in a work published about ten years ago —that "the Circassians in European Turkey are estimated at 900,000, and are the terror of their neighbors, whether Turks or Christians. Their depredations go unchecked through fear of reprisals. Their interest at high quarters, through the introduction of their beautiful girls to the principal harems of Constantinople and elsewhere, is so great that it is found difficult to get convictions against them. They know their own power, and unless stringent measures are taken to stop further immigration and to enforce the law more strictly over those already colonised, they must prove a great bar to progress for many years to come." Thus we see that even the scourge of brigandage is in a measure supported by the weaker sex.

But there ore yet more potent powers behind the throne. The "valide sultana," or sultan's mother, is possessed of great influence. She always ranks tlrst in the seraglio. A wing of tho palace nearest to that of her sun is set apart for her use. She possesses state apartments, has an immense train of slaves, and every mark of respect is shown her, not only by her son, but by all who would curry favor at court. It matters little what disposition a Turk may manifest toward his wives and all others who surround htm, he is said to be always trader and respectful to his mother for, says he, "I may lose my child, another may be born to me my wife may die, another fills her place but I can have but one mother." It is yften found by high officers of state that they have reason to dreed the interference of the valide sultana more than that of the sultan himself.

Thus it is plainly to be seen how uneducated, undeveloped women help on the disintegrating process so plainly to be seat in the Turkish empire. What wonder that under the present system we hear much of the vice and corruption that reigns in high plaooe, How could it be otherwise where virtue is forever crushed end true womanhood is neither appreciated nor desired! Still, it bas been my good fortune to meet some dignified, quiet and cultured Turkish ladies, whose whoto bearing offered a pleasing contrast to that of the generality of Moslem women.—Constantinople Cor.

MY IDOL.

I had an idol. High beside the light Of God's clear face I placed him, and could see But him, ray Idol. He, my God, made night Of all around htm, and my light was he, Soch incense did I burn at his dear shrine, My very soul I brought to sacrifice. My life lay at hia altar and divine He stood above me. With a street surmise Of his great, glorious heav'n and him I prayed, When dark and awful moments, filled by one Whose name Is Truth, robbed me. She laid Her iron hand on my bright God, my sun. "He is a as other men,"' she said But still 1 love him, though my heaven's gone.

EVIL OF THE CITY.

Bill Kye Points It Oat and Calls Earnestly for

Reform.

The fatal shooting of a man who, on Sunday, after drinking freely, went to the wrong residence, bis own having slightly wavered to one side during his absence, suggests that alcohol, as a brain food, has its drawbacks, and also that the custom of constructing thousands of residences which closely resemble each other is slowly sapping the American memory.

M»T OHell, speaking to me the other day of our custom of numbering streets and avenues and then numbering the houses up as far as Yonkers, said: "I know of a man, for instance, who lives on the corner of Third avenue and One Hundred and Fiftieth street, at No. 1801, on the left hand side, up three flights. I met him today, and like many Americans, he is walking with his head bowed. He is in a brown study. He is wrapped in thought. It is not because he is trying to figure out the effect of the tariff reduction, fractionally or as a whole. It is not because he is immersed in profound meditation relative to his past or his future. He is trying to remember his address."

I could not deny it. I tried to make it cled* to him that it is no more work to remember a number than it is to keep a Rue or a Faubourg or an Arrondissement in one's head, but I did not succeed. We have here thousands of houses with a strong family resemblance to each other, differing only in their style of night lock, and this difference can only be found out by ascertaining. When we go home rattled by the applause which is still ringing in our ears as a result of a neat after dinner speech, and begin the arduous task of seeking to find a three story, high stoop, brown stone front to fit our night key, we are shot.

You trip gayly up the lofty and familiar stoop with the plaudits of your fellow men still warming the cockles of your heart. You gently strike a match on your pantaloons, and while you seek to make out tho number by its uncertain light, you suddenly awake find yourself at the union depot of another world.

I do not ask property owners to tear down and rebuild expensive houses because they may resemble mine, for that would be unreasonable and flavor too much of selfishness. But if it could be so arranged that by putting a nickel into a slot at the foot of the stoop an illuminated name and number would come down the steps with a glass of apolinaris water and play a tune, we would be in better shape to point with pride to our national institutions and brag over foreign powers.—Bill Nye in New York World.

Pneumonia and Its Symptoms.

Pneumonia may occur in connection with bronchial and other affections of the air passages induced by "taking cold." But if a person has first been attacked with symptoms of a cold, and they have existed for a day or more, he need have little fear that pneumonia will set in as a consequence. People who have caught cold, and are suffering from acute bronchitis—have a painful, "tearing" cough, are "sore across the chest," etc.—are very often apprehensive of the more serious disease under consideration. There is scarcely greater danger of its appearing then than there is while they are in their usual good state of health. We emphasize this fact, for we know that unscrupulous practitioners steal no little capital by pretending, as they often do, to "break up pneumonia," prevent patients from having it, eta No immediate treatment can be applied by them or other physicians which will prevent pneumonia, in any. condition of the system. If the disease is coming, it will come in spite of medical interference.

What symptoms should lead a person to suspect that he has pneumonia? An attack is usually sudden, and generally commences with a chill, frequently accompanied by what are called rigors—shivering, chattering of the teeth, etc. In the majority of cases this occurs during tho night, and after exposure.

The chill is severe and prolonged, lasting from half an hour to several hours. About tho same time, or soon afterward, a pain is felt underneath the nipple on one—the affected—side. This pain is sharp, and is described as "stabbing it is aggravated by coughing, sneezing, and when the patient takes a "long breath." Fever sets in early, and is one of tho first symptoms. It usually runs very high, as is indicated by the great heat of the skin. One peculiarity, seldom noticed in other affections where there is high fever, is often observed in this disease the skin is moist from the outset.—Boston Herald. MS

"Oh my gracious, it's going to rain or snow, or do something else," groaned a man with a sort of cut off gait. "Why! How do you knowf' asked his friend, after a rapid glance overhead. "Do the papers say sol It looks clear enough now." "I don't know what they say," rejoined the other savagely "but from the ache which is attacking every individual bone in my body I know it won't be long before the storm is here." "Oh, is that itf replied the other. "Fve heard of that before, and it doesn't surprise me a bit In fact, I would take the advice of my mother-in-law in preference to that of the newspapers with regard to the weather, and, what is more, I very seldom go wrong ia doing so. She's not only got the rheumatism, bat corns as well, and when I see her wincing I always carry the umbrella. "—Philadelphia f»all 'S

CARE OF AGED PERSONS.

HOW TO LIFT THEM OVER LIFE'S ROUGH PLACES.

The First Physical Changes Kottceable

There appears good reason for considering old age second .childhood." The development seen in childhood during the first five years is reversed, though more gradually in those who live to be over 80 years old. Among the most noticeable changes is wasting, first, of the least essential part of the body—fat. As that disappears a shriveled appearance of the aged subject is the result the face becomes deeply wrinkled, the hands bony and the limbs shrunken. Then the muscular tissue is slowly absorbed, and the process is accompanied by loss of strength, which, however, is less noticeable by reason of the previous reduction in weight. Occasionally we note in very aged people that the powers of the mental faculties are retained in a wonderful degree, but in the majority of cases they are more or less impaired, and the subjects become capricious, exacting, and, in fact, childish. The feebleness of mental power is due to wasting of the brain. As has teen said, the memory goes first, especially the recollection of recent events. Far off remembrances of early days, and those of middle life, come up almost as freshly as ever but what happened yesterday, or even to-day, is easily forgotten. The power to reason closely, or to give attention very long to one subject, next gives way. We need not dwell on the dimness of sight and dullness of hearing which are among the usual, but not universal infirmities of age. In all these particulars there is a very great variety in individuals. Some of those who live the longest retain till the last more of their original mental capacity, with good sight, hearing and muscular strength, than those whose life energy is exhausted not much after the end of four score years.

POWERS OK DIGESTION.

The care of the aged is a subject which must concern all, although to some of us the time when we shall need the application of correct management may seem afar off. It is easy to reason out the most imperative needs. We know that the powers of digestion must necessarily be weaker -at 70 than in' early life hence the importance cf a correct dietetic regimen. Food must be taken oftener and less in amount at each feeding. After a person has reached the age just stated, he should take food four times a day until he is 80 years old then, for the next ten years that he lives, five meals each day are none too many, and his food should be simple and easily digested. There are very few people near the age of 90 who have many sound teeth therefore, during the years which follow their loss, unless false can be worn, their diet should be liquid, and made up largely of milk. Beef tea, and fluid extracts of beef, properly prepared, are of great assistance in feeding the aged.

After three score years and ten have been reached, earlier if it appears necessary, it will be well to commence the use of stimulants. It caanot be denied that by the judicious administration of alcohol to the aged better health and longer life are promoted. Of course, it must be wisely given, or, instead of a benefit, it will prove an injury. The question naturally arises, what quantity may be safely allowed and only good follow its use? No rule applicable alike in all cases can be given each case must be studied, and the estimate made on individual needs. In a, general way, it may be mid that when decline in the vital powers, in consequence of old age, is reached, be it at the age of 85, 70, or later, use of stimulants may properly commence. If the subject has been habituated to the use of alcoholic drinks, then the quantity allowed him may be greater but if he has lived a temperate life, a teaspoonful of whisky or brandy, or a dessertspoonful of the stronger wines, sherry, etc., may be properly given before his meals. Alcohol will improve his appetite, stimulate digestion and quicken circulation. As he declines in life, and his strength fails, the quantity will need to be increased somewhat The conservative reader will kindly understand us, that we advise alcohol in old age as an accessory food. Not only would we discourage its use for any other purpose, unless it be medicinal, but we most emphatically condemn it Give the old man or woman regular doses of a teaspoonful or more if needed, of whisky, or some stimulant equally as strong, or the equivalent in wines, and he or she will be better for it, and, we doubt not, will live to a greater age.

XOBB HOURS or 8LEXP.

The younger a child the more hours of sleep it needs. In declining life the number of hours in bed must be progressively increased. Old people, as a rule, ere more or less wakeful few among them sleep so many hours continuously as those who are younger. At least eight hours of the twenty-four should be passed in bed by every one who has reached his 60th year. After 70, nine hours should be passed in the same way after 80, ten and as 90 approaches at least half of the time should be spent in bed or reclining on a couch.

The ne±t measure of treatment which we shbU recommend for the aged will doubtless be as strongly antagonized as the stimulant treatment already advocated. Here we will say it is by no means original with us, but has long been recognised and advised by able physicians. It is that of giving opium during declining life. This agent may be used to promote sleep, and under 'certain conditions it can very properly be administered occasionally during the daytime. If the aged subject is wakeful and sufficient deep is denied him, then ten or fifteen drops of laudnum on retiring will be found of benefit in nearly all cases, and if its action is good, there can be no excuse for withholding it Restlessness and mental irritability, which tell sorely on the aged, may demand, as stated, its use at dther times. It shook! be remembered that opium Is not simply a quieting, or what some call a "benumbing agent," it is stimulant, and with nearly all very old people it acts well, and seems to help "lift them over the rough places" encountered in the way down the decline of lifa
