TURKISH TRADE MARKS BAZAR" TAKES PLACE OF AMER ICAN DEPARTMENT 8TORE. Coffee 8hop an Inseparable Accom paniment of Each Shop Are Classified According to the Buelneaa Done.. Baiars take the place of department . stores In Bagdad. The word "bazar" means bargain, but In the Turkish sense It Is generally applied to a ae ries of shops forming a continuous row on both sides of a thoroughfare. As Turkish streets are narrow, often only eight or ten feet wide, conges tion results. The shops themselves are small, the more commodious being only eight by ten feet, and the small er five by six feet One whole side opens on the street. In Bagdad, writes the American con sul, bazars are divided Into several classes, according to the location and the wares sold. The classification fol lows: Karla bash! Is the name of the bazar where groceries, candles and liquids are sold. Sug-el-shorga Is where fruits and vegetables are sold. The name Is also applied to the district, and it Is generally understood that the drug stores are In the bazar sug-el-shorga, though it is so only by acci dent In the sug-el-saral wearing ap parel, haberdashery, antiques and rugs are sold. Sug-el-chukhechl Is the bazar where Bagdad-made cloth, such as prints, calico and silk goods, Is sold. Yemenchla la the bazar where native shoes are manufactured and sold. Sug-el-sefaflr is the coppersmith bazar. The copper is heated and worked while hot Inside the shops, but the cold sheet copper is hammered Into shape out In the street Bab-el-agha is occupied by the black smiths, tinsmiths and carpenters. The blacksmiths make chains, nails, locks and horse and donkey shoes. The tin smiths manufacture tin vessels, pots, water cans and lanterns. The carpen ters make practically all the furniture used there and coffins, doors and door and window frames. Different bazars are segregated in different parts of the city, and the district often takes the name of the bazar. Some bazars are also named after the district In which they are situated, there being no sharp divi sions of the bazar according to the ma terial sold. An example is the bazar Sug-el-hanoon In the Jewish district which Is said to be patronized by Jews only. In each bazar there Is a khan for every ten or twelve shops. i nese Knans are two stories nign ana have an open court In the center, the rooms on the four sides all opening Into the court. A large door leads from the open court Into the street. The rooms in the khan are let to the different shopkeepers for their sur plus wares. Each bazar has a coffee shop, which Is a large open place partly covered ty a roof, where a large number of -cheap wooden settees are arranged In tows. Any one who' sits down In a coffee shop first gets a cup of Turkish coffee and then a native pipe in which Shlrza tobacco Is smoked. The charge for the coffee and the use of ' the pipe Is about two cents. The coffee shop Quahwat Pasha Is the "bourse" for the native business peo ple. Here the merchants gather to discuss trade bills and other subjects. Representatives of the banks .ascer tain here the number of bills to be taken up and secure the facts from which they can determine the ex change rates for bills and for foreign coins. The rates are practically de termined in the coffee shops.. An Objection uia you sen any or your oil paint ings to the lady?" "No; she's a temperance crank."

In his right hand he carried a heavy stick' which he used as a support Each step was accompanied with a con spicuous limp, while his face was con torted almost beyond recognition, as with pain. "What's the matter with your leg?" asked the surgeon. "Shot Just below the knee," return ed "Lucky Bill." The surgeon examined the injured limb, winked at his assistant, and turn ed again to the applicant "Why, man, there's nothing wrong with your leg," he said. "Tour wound Is almost entirely healed, and while it may cause you to limp a little it will never hinder you from making a liv ing." "Oh, yes, it will," argued Bill. "But how?" asked the surgeon. BUI hesitated a moment Then his face brightened. "I'm a song-and-dance artist" he said; "maybe you can tell how I'm going to dance with a stiff leg?" BUI got his pension. When he returned to camp a friend asked him how he made out "First rate," answered BUI; "why don't you go over?". "I would if I had been Injured," an swered his friend. "You lost the tip of your index fin ger, didn't you?" said Bill. "Just tell them you are a typewriter and use the touch system." Library Etiquette In Kansas. Don't throw down the quarter or dime as if your real Intention was to make holes In the delivery desk, says the Kansas Industrialist The fine charged on your overdue book is only a reward for your own carelessness, and, contrary to the Ideas of some per sons, Is neither a peace offering to the librarian nor a contribution to her pin money box. ' - If you must chew gum, seek the pri vacy of your own room. Do not ap proach the delivery desk during the operation.- Many a librarian has been called a "grouch" because she did not hasten to serve a careless schoolgirl, who accosted her thus (between chews): "Say, I wish you'd get me eumpin' on George Eliot or, if there ain't anything about him, Dickens H do." Any librarian Is delighted tc help every borrower to get the most good from the library, but Uke the gods, she pleases to help those who help themselves by being courteous. 8hakespeare In Burmese. Shakespeare in Burmese was suc cessfully presented recently at Man dalay, India. "Pericles" was the play chosen and the participants were amateurs recruited from the Burmese legal profession these. The play waa selected and t adapted to Burmese Ideas by Maung Tin, district Judge. Some idea of the original lines on which the play was produced may be gathered from the fact that the scene was laid In China! So encouraging were the financial results that the idea is to be followed up, the scenes being shifted according to the imagi nation of the. promoters. Medieval Theaters. National theaters of an open-air kind at one time existed in England, ar Parran Round, In Cornwall, testi fies. Here we have a vast amphi theater, turfed to seat over 2,000 per sons. The beginnings of British dra matic art sprang from these open-air theaters, where the medieval plays were produced and forgotten The sands of the Cornish coast may have covered more than one specimen of these pioneer tempels of the dramatic art Commanding Attention.

TIME was, and not so long ago, that Berlin, as capital of the kingdom of Prussia, was mere ly a second rate continental city mat the average tourist passed by as unworthy of extended stay. But now, as the capital of Im perial Germany and thn r.hinf 1nwel of the Hohenzollerns, Berlin can fling down the glove of defiance in the face of Paris, London or St Petersburg and claim distinction as a national cap ital of the first class, with an atmo sphere purely her own and embellish ments that make her well worthy of attention. Late this month the tourist season will be In full swlria in Berlin, savs the New York Evening Post The spring review of the guards is the sig nal for the swing of tourist traffic In the direction of the German capital Besides affording the visitor a wonder fully colored dramatic spectacle, this occasion provides flrBt rate nnnorttinl. ties for studying the German soldier ana me military system which la the foundation of the German state. The review Is held on the Tempelhofer field, and Is attended by the emperor and all his staff. Trappings of the German Soldier. The German soldier togged out for dress parade need give the wall to no man. His American brother is hoixv lessly outclassed. He has unlimited old braid;' his patent leather boots are speckless and shlnlne: hla uni form is gaudy; his plumes are rich; nis neimet gleams with brass. Seen in the great blocks and sQuarea nt battalions, troops and batteries, he outsnines tna most tastefully garbed musical comeay cnorus. Each regi ment has something distinctive about its unirorm to distinguish it from ev ery other, and many of the uniforms are Individualistic to a decree. Thn foot regiments still wear the miter nat oi Yeaerlck the Great's time that the British grenadiers wore In th eighteenth century, without which no revolutionary novel or drama would be complete. " The emperor goes to the review In a carriage, but after he has arrived he mounts tils horse and at the conclu- -Untjlr pen slon of the march past he rides back Into town-at the head 'of his troops, bands blaring "The Watch on the Rhine," chargers prancing, batteries rumbling and the streets echoing the tramp of the goosestep, while every German who has not been out to the Tempelhofer field lines the Belle-Alll-ance-strasse and yells "Hock der Kais er" untU he is black In the face. The Germans are fond of saying that Berlin is as gay as Paris nowa days, and while French ancestry or associations may compel you to decry this boast the fact remains that there is a great deal of truth in the asser tion of gayety. Berlin of today is em inently modern. It has been built up since the war of 1870-71 clinched the Germanio union and laid the founda tion of Its greatness. Geographically speaking the situation of the city Is not Imposing, but the mathematical Germans have made the best of things, and certainly can claim to hare built up a city clean and sightly and regu larly planned. It Ilea on a flat, sandy plain midway between the Oder and the Elbe, with which It Is connected by a web of wa terways, and It la Intersected by the Spree, a tame stream with not half the energy or charm of Munich's liar.

Widest Avenue In Europe, The social and official life of the capital centers around Unter den Lin den, which runs from the royal palace to the Brandenburger Tor. This street one of the widest in Europe, nearly a mUe in length, forms a double avenue, divided by a favorite promenade planted with lime trees. Here one may see Berlin life in all Its aspects. South of this street Ues the Frlederichstadt with its parallel streets, the Behrenstrasse (street of finance), the busy Llepzlgerstrasse, and the WUhelmstrasse, with the pal ace of the Imperial chancellor and the British embassy upon it Among the most Important public squares are the Opernplatz, around or near which stand the opera house, the royal library and the university, the Gendar menmarkt with the royal theater in its center and the old and new museums bordering upon It; the Par iserplatz, with the French embassy at the Brandenburg gate; the Konigs platz, with the column of vltcory; the Reichstagsgebaude and the Bismarck and Moltke monuments, and the circu lar Belle-AUianceplatz, with the monu ment commemorating the battle of Waterloo. Close at hand are all the principal hotels .among them the luxurious Kalserhof, the Eden, the Alden and many others, all noted for their serv ice and modern conveniences. The German hotel proprietor uses the American hostelry for a model. ' Of the numerous bridges, perhaps the most remarkable is the Schlosse brucke, built after designs by Schln kel, with eight colossal figures of marble, representing Ideal stages in the life of a warrior, the works of Drake, Wolff and other eminent sculp tors. The Kurfursten or Langebrucke, Lindln was built in 1691-1695, and restored In 1895. It has an equestrian statue of the Great Elector. These bridges span the. Spree. Crossing the Land wehr canal are the Potsdamer-Vlk-toriabruckle, which carries the traffio from two converging streets into the outer Potsdamerstrasse and the Her kulesbrucke, connecting the Lutzow plata with the Tlergarten. The buildings of the Royal museum are divided Into the, old and new museum. The former Is an Imposing edifice situated on the northeast side of the Lustgarten, facing the- royal palace. It was built in the reign of Frederick William in. from designs by SchlnkeL Its portico, supported by eighteen Immense Ionio columns Is reached by a wide flight of steps! The back and side walls of the portico are covered with frescoes represent ing the world's progress from chaos to developed and organised life. En trance Is through bronze doors after designs by Stuler, weighing seven and one-half tons. On the wall f the grand marble staircase, which rises to the full height of the building, Raul bach's cyclus of stereochromlo clo tures Is painted, representing the six great epochs of human progress from the confusion of tongues at the tower of Babel and dispersion of nations to the Reformation. .
