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..

Comrade How to Secure a Pen
sion From the Government
Private William McDermott better
known to his comrades at "Lucky Bill,"
was being examined by the regular
army surgeon In order to have his
claim for a pension verified. 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,

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.

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.

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. .
