A Turk thinks It tin- mo-t imninil
thing In the world t.i l-v a province
and, having loit It, tu unit nnd live
elsewhere. lie talks Tilt"- complacent
ly of leaving Constantinople some day
lie will go over to Al "'"t found au
other capital. Ho originates notliln.
He takes what he tiniN without as
slmllntlng It and remains profoundly
Turklh. He leaves 0" trace of his
occupation except ruins Practically
there Is nothing at llrlcrnde, Sofia and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
All occupations, except agricultural
ami military service, are distasteful to
hltu et there are to other charac
teristics even more Important than
these. The first Is his nse of disci
pline. It Is this whli li keeps together
the aptmrently totterms fabric of the
Turkish empire. It iuakr .!.e half fed
half clothed soldier rendy to endure
eery privation and preieiits the cor
ruption and Incapacity of the otlicers
from producing the iinnrchy which
would be Inevitable in nu other coun
try. Sedition Is unknown IJven com
plnlnts arc rare, anil wen- a holy war
proclaimed there Is not a man who
would not be prepared to die In tie
fense of the system of extortion which
grinds him down.
Ills second characteristic Is Ids luzl-
ness, In spite of the laborious Indus
try of the Turkish pt-a-ant. The fact
Is that the Turk Is too proud to do
many things, too stupid to do others
His religion Inculcates a fatalism
which tends to a conviction that ef
fort Is useless. 1jiidon Telegraph
A llnit.i.ri.H. TurU,
A typical Turkish humorist was Kho
Ja Nnsreddln liffendl, who lived in the
fourteenth centurj Of him this story
Is told:
"One Friday the khoju's fellow vll
lagers Insisted un his preaching o ser
mon In the mosque, which he had nev
er done, not having any oratorical
gifts. He mounted the pulpit sorely
against his will and, looking around at
the congregation, asked In despair, 'Oh.
true believers, do you know what I am
going to say to you'' They naturally
replied. No.' "Well. I urn sure I don't,'
he said and hurriedly left the mosque
The congregation were, however, deter
mined to hae their sermon and next
Friday forced tiini again Into the pill
pit. When he again put the same ques
Hon. they replied by agreement. -Ves '
'Oh, then.' he said, if you know I
needn't tell you.' and again escaped.
On Hie third Friday the villagers made
what the thought must be a successful
plan They got the khoju Into the pul
pit and when he asked what hud now
become In- usual question replied.
Some of u- know ntul muiic of Hi
don't.' Then.' replied the fchoja. 'let
those of on who know tell tho-e who
don't' After this the congregation re
signed themselves to do without ser
moiis." "Turkey In Kurope." by pdys

The Jjtory of 11 Mpnn .VI bu.
lids Is the story of mean man. He
may not be the meanest on record, but
he carries n very fair brand of clo-,0
llstedtiess. Ho had u contract to sup
ply a certain amount of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out all
the work he could get by running eight
hours n day.
The mean man had an engineer who
wus a genius. The genius went to his
employer one day and -aid ho thought
he could miiko some Improvements In
that machine so It would do more work
In lesh time. The genius wns paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days, taking It apart and putting It
together again. When reconstructed,
It proved to have greater elllclency
than before, so much so that It did the
same amount of work in one minute
and a half that It u-.-d to take four
and a half to do.
The uienn man, however, could get
no more contracts than before. Ho
could till all his orders by running
about three hours n day. Tho mean
man then went to the genius and snld:
"See hero. Henry, I've been paying
jou l the month, but there Isn't ns
uicch work ns there used to bo not
enough to keep you bus.v. I shall have
to pay you by the hour after this."
Henry demurred. He hud been too
faithful, but he didn't tluuk that ought
to reduce his earnings over one-half.
His emplo.ver was tlrui. however, and

It seems s though cherished notions
were no sooner on an apparently firm
foundation than some Inconsiderate
Iconoclast comes along and throws
them down. People have for many
years supposed that the color green
was restful to human eyes nnd have
been referred to the green grass and
green foliage that nature has been so
prodigal with for the benefit of wearied
vision.
Now, according to a German profess
or of Berlin, nature wasn't thinking
of human eye when she made her pro
fuso verdant display and that her col
or scheme was carried out absolutely
regardless of the visual needs of hu
manity. He savs that green does not
protect the eye. and ho denies that It
has any bonefirlnl cftects whatever.
He declares that green paper, green
shades, green glasses, green decora
tlous and green umbrellas are all a
mistake and that by Increasing tho
green light we are simply provoking
a nervous disturbance.
He says that each of the colors tires
a different set of nerves of vision, and
therefore luoklug at one particular col
or saves oue set of nerves at the ex
pense of another. The best method
he says. Is to dim all of the rays of
light by smoked or grny glasses, which
rest all of the optic nerves. New York
