A Turkish prison is an experience, e writer in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune says. You enter through the cellroom. As a matter of fact, there *.s just one huge cell into which yon are crowded with the dofeen odd others.

To one side is a diviln, where there are trays of -Tuvrhh <-rt:"oe tor hit guests. Here, every one being guilt j ufitil proven innocent,, prisoners' of pative birth are remanded to the cells. With foreigner.-, however, care must be taken and if one speaks not the Turkish they set youi in durance til! they find some One speaking French. But meanwhile you get your peep into Turkish jails and their squalor. Up in the interior pt Plevlje, there ‘s another interesting Turkish prison which is unique. It forms the fourth aide of an open couit, of which the pasha’s palace is . the opposite/side, and so when the iniltarjy band plays In the courtyard for iiis highness the prisoners get the benefit. The prison is a ranshackle frame, the lower story comprising the one aellroom. In th\s, again, all prisoners are thrust together, t nd the windows are likewise the cell easements. Folk of the town take it is an act of religious devotion, frequently, to feed the prisoners dainties, and so one sees: these lined up before the bars , reaching the cakes t tirojugh the grat- [ Ing as you might reach things to the apes, at the zoo. ; Bees as Weapons of War. Probably the most remarkable weapons of war ever ius< d on the field J of battle were swarmp of bees.

In Pontus, by Lucullus, on his war against Mithridates Turrets were brought up, mounds wiere built and huge mines were made by the Romans. The people of Themiseyra dug intc these mines from above, and through holes cast down upon the workmen bears and other wild! animals, together with swarms of hies. The second instance occurred in fengland. The Bands and Norwegians wfere attacking Chester, held by (the Saxons and j eomje Gallic auxiliaries). After using stones and boiling water in vain against the the Saxons threw down all the beehives in the: town upon the attickers, who were' eoon routed.

EVERYBODY TO USE AIRSHIPS Moissant Says Flying Is Easy and That Planes Will Soon Be As Numerous As Autos. New York. —John B. Moissant, American aviator, declares that learning to guide an aeroplane Is about as easy as learning to ride a bicycle or : to walk stilts. “There is no great mystery or great difficulty about operating an aeroplane,” he said. “Everybody will realize this very soon. i “The next generation will use aeroplanes as we are now using automobiles. The perfection of the flying machine from now on will be very rapid and its perils will be found to be no greater than the perils of bursting tires and skidding wheels and faulty automobile mechanisms. “Every person who makes a flight In an aeroplane comes back to earth with the same impressions. He tells you that it was a delightful experience; that it was something new, he was not a bit scared, and he is crazy to do it again. That tells the whole story.” • CO-EDS AID A BLIND SENIOR Girls Forego Luxuries and Allowances to Enable Sightless Student to Graduate. New York. —Seniors at Barnard college, by sacrificing luxuries and do- ' nating part of their allowances, have enabled Margaret Hogan,' a blind student, to secure her degree. Miss Hogan, blind from birth and left an orphan when young, won a j three-year scholarship at Barnard. Her advance was rapid. A wealthy woman became interested and took care of the girl up to the present year. Miss Hogan was about to leave college to earn her own living when her classmates heard of it. They raised $45(5 among themselves for the girl. Watch New High Tides.

PROHIBIT HUNTING IN (fITT

M-ffyor Proposes Amendment to Old Ordinance Aiming at Practise of Chicago Sportsmen Chicago.—Though Chicago has a population of more than two millions, hunting in the city limits has become so prevalent that the mayor found it necessary to send a letter to the council, at the suggestion of the chief of police, proposing an amendment to the old hunting ordinance, which has been doing duty since 1905 to the satisfaction of Chicago’s stay-at-home hunters. Most Chicagoans, who live in districts so congested that the report of a shotgun would bring a dozen policemen on the jump, are not aware that it is the practise of many other Chicagoans, who know about the hunting grounds, to sally forth, in season, and return with a bagful of game birds without ever having left the city limits. In a letter to the council, which accompanied the proposed amendment to the hunting ordinance, 4 Mayor Busse told of the numerous complaints occasioned by' “metropolitan hunting”, that had reached Chief Steward and caused him to ask for action by the city fathers. Wolf lake, Hyde lake, Lake Calumet and the Calumet river have been swarming with hunters in the shooting seasons of the past. At the continuance of these as hunting grounds the amendment is not aimed, and in future the echo of the reports of shotguns still will ring over their waters. That section of the Chicago “happy hunting ground” which the mayor would move from the realm of the primeval into that of the metropolitan comprises a section of the lake shore on the South side, the shore of the drainage canal and several other favored haunts of game. The only restriction on hunting in the “open” districts is that no shots be fired within 710 feet of a house, factory or barn. The section where hunting would be prohibited, as enlarged by the passing of the amendment, would be: Beginning at the intersection of Seventy-first street with Lake Michigan, thence west along Seventy-first street to South Kedzle avenue, thence along West Thirty-first street to South Fortieth avenue, thence north along South Fortieth avenue to West Montrose avenue, thence east along Montrose avenue to Western avenue,

One night every other week the Motomachi Is brilliantly lighted with strange little lanterns and the passing throngs carry others, so that the es feet from the distance is entrancing On these mgnts booths are arranged all along the street and you can finger anything without annoying the salesmen. We fell in love with, the dwarf trees and with the tiny urchins having their mouths stuffed full of spun sugar by the candymaker, who bristled with pride when we tarried long beside him. Strange beads and potted flowers were offered to us by shy little girls and all around us was a gay hubbub, every one good natured, every one out to enjoy life, laughing and ! nudging and scraping sandaled feet. On Benton-dori our hands ran to i our purse strings constantly, so fasciI rating were the shops there. At I Yamamotos we were shown the most I superb old embroideries, and it was | hard to make a selection, as we want|ad all of them. Nozawaya’a Is a mod- I I ern department store, and the curio I shops drive one distracted.

There is I something very charming about the I old-time courtesy of these little peo- ‘ pie, and one is sorry to see it wearing away in the seacoast towns, where w-e learned to despise the stamp of mod- ( ernism in Japan. Like most people who spring suddenly into prominence, they are becoming arrogant and showing an overpowering sense of their own importance and a vanity not at all in proportion to their size. Tourists are doubtless largely responsible for this. Their manners shock even our hardened western sense of ’propriety and to the courteous, gentle I mannered native their brusque ways I and loud voices, their harsh com | i ments and loud laughter must strike ( ( home painfully. There is net much sightseeing to be i ( done in Yokohama; the ride to Mis- ! ! sissippi bay, to Mikusu’s porcelain i factory and to the little tea house on I ( the bluff, which is reached by ascending 100 steps and is hallowed by the memory of Perry’s visit to it, are the chief points of interest. E is the street sights, the shops and the comforts of living which hold the visitor in Y’okohama. During our stay we had three hideous days and nights to live through during a Buddhist feast, when up and down the native streets ran crowds of rough boys fancifully attired, carrying josses on long poles and screaming and beating tomtoms and making life a burden to every one in the We w’dre told that nr policeman would dare to stop them while they carried josses, and in consequence they sometimes became dangerously excited and do all sorts cj wild things.

New York. —The “crewless warship,” a vessel directed and operated from -shore by means of a complicated wireless apparatus, is the latest naval wonder in Germany, according to re ports which have just reached the navy men here. Within a radius of 18 miles from the controlling apparatus the new warship, it Is said, can be started, stopped, steered and its guns controlled or fired by means of electrical waves communicated without wires The German naval experts are ma king experiments with a motor boat near Nuremberg.

USE OLD FINERIES LACE WAISTS AND SILK SKIRTS FOR NEW BLOUSES. Practical Woman Can Make Good Use of Ancient Materials—-Every-thing Can Go Into Bodice t Nowadays. The wpfiian who has old lace waists ■' on handfbr a skirt or two in figured I or plhin, silk, may now find use for I these dilapidated fineries. A little study of the shop models in both elei gant and practical blouses- for winter • wear will demonstrate how these ancient materials can be used up, for everything can go into a bodice nowadays, and veiling one stuff with another is the madness of the moment. Granted there must be a little good lace for the yoke and sleeve bottoms, all tlje rest that goes into a corsage, mad§* after the present styles, may be patched to any extent. As for silk, all that is necessary is for it to be of a rich color, for she sheen of red, blue, orange, or violet must be visible through the covering of veiling, marquisette or chiffon. A summer foulard in black and white—since these materials wash like rags—would be invaluable, for this combination is stylish under a veiling of any sort in any color. Th(e veiled waists, especially if they have; three-quarter sleeves, are shown ! principally for dressy uses, but the i style is too useful for the home dress- ' to ignore when making over I old textures, and if trimmings and | models are sufficiently simple, such I designs are suitable for the plainest : tailor gowns. I The veiled bodice with lace under | part,) commonly begins with a complete blouse made with a high stock of a(n all-over lace. A plain or patterned silk, or a Persian gauze foundation, which is very stylish, will stop at the line where the jumper is to cover it and be filled in there with a stock in appropriate materials. The jumper, which is of gauzy veiling in the dress color, is the easiest thing in the world to make. The kimono model is the favorite for this over-blouse, and is fitted with one or more Gibson pleats at the shoulders, or else tucked bach and front, or across the shoulders pnly. One strikingly effective device with such waists is a broad banji of some rich trimming going around the foundation at the bust point, and showing richly through the “ -L I ■<tf( ® / I u I!

If a gray dress on hand must be fitted out with a waist, use any Colored silkblue, old rose, violet, green or white —for the foundation, and then get a veiling in the dress color for the top. Moire or silk in a matching , color could be employed instead of the lace here used. A well-made waist in this style would be suited tb a handsome tailor suit, and if liked the jumper part alone might be employed as a model for a collarless! short-sleeved house effect. In fact, there is no end to the possibilities o< this jumper, for it is adapted equally to plain and dressy uses. LACE BAG LATEST NOVELTY Great Saving of Time and Lace Effected by Country Woman’s System. A morning visitor at a country house found her hostess busy with mysterious little dimity bags, that r.ere about ten inches square and fastened with a draw string. In answer to her query she was told that these were “lace bags,” and that samples of the kind of laces they .contained would be sewed on the edges like tags. She was furthermore told that although the proceeding might seem fussy, it was a great saving of time as well as of lace, for these fragile bits of trimming get tangled and ,torn if put in a box, even if folded at first. After a few hunts for a ‘particular piece the loosened ends seem possessed to knot together, and it requires great patience to undo them w.ithout tearing the edges. The samples show just what kinds of lace are bundled and safely pinned at ends, and just the one bag need be opened. All the bags are put in a large box, labeled “lace,” and this has a particular space In the sewing room closet. In Filling Sachets. Fill the tiny bags with a mixed powder of iris and heliotrope and add a few peppercoras, which will both preserve the perfumed powder and bring out Its sweet scent
