Cause for Consternation.
The inexperienced district school
teacher had exhausted all other ex
pedients for the maintenance of disci
pline. Going out into the school yard,
she broke off a good-sized switch that
was growing there and administered
primitive punishment to Jimmy Kok
ley
There were strange expressions of
bonified amazement on the faces of
the children, and when school was dis
missed at noon they gathered In ex
cited groups and talked in whispers.
Finally the teacher's curiosity could
stand It no longer. Calling Henry
Thomas to her, she demanded the
cause of the discussions.
"Why—why—why, teacher," ha
stammered, "that—that switch yon
licked Jimmy with—that was the tree
we all set out last Arbor day.''—Har
per's Magazine.
HAIR CAME OUT BY HANDFUL

"About three years ago I had tbe ma
laria fever, and when I recovered my

" 'Do you lore me, darling?'
" 'Yes—ah, yes, Reginald,' she slgh

URKEY in war times is
apparently a cheerful
and carefree land, but
one has to dive under

I like that of the Bos-
V J phorus Itself. Old globe
trotters are well aware
that the surface cur

ly from the Black sea down past the
Oolden Horn and into the Sea of Mar

tercurrent going the other way and
carrying the Salter waters of the Med

In the city of Constantinople one
would suppose that was war unknown.
Doubtless fhe heads thst are under a

"You see," said a member of the

his place, and started a new regime.
"Now the new sultan la hardly more
than settled in the Yildiz Kiosk when
Italy declarea war at 24 hours' notice
and put up'to the young government a
most momentous situation. The young
government cannot afford to be beat
en. It must light to the bitter end.
To be beaten means to be destroyed.
The people of Turkey would trample
It under foot."
But of all this one cannot And a
sign in Constantinople— that is, not on
the surface. Every Friday, for ex
ample, the saltan goes to a mosque to
worship. The brass band from the
barracks near by takes up a position
Just west of the entrance to the
mosque. Across the street in front of
the military guardhouse privileged
spectators assemble. The officer of
the guard, cheerful and smiling, bus

WHAT IS DENATURED ALCOHOL?
Denatured alcohol Is also known as
industrial alcohol, that Is, Is made to
be used In the IndustHes, In manu
factures and the arts, and In the pro
duction of light, heat or power. It
was first known In Europe a number
of years ago, and came to be very
extensively used there. Its manufac
ture and use In this country are com
paratively recent, though Its chemical
•ature has been long knows. It can
mouth and handlea visitors and in
truders with consummate sang froid.
A company of gendarmes, very badly
drilled and extremely awkward In ap
pearance, lines up at the curb, while
an officer walks along and kicks their
feet into aome sort of position.
Presently there is a clatter of
horses' hoofs and three closed car
riages roll up from the west. In them
are women wearing white veils. There
are also some children. These are
from the Imperial harem.
The horses are unharnessed and led
away, and then the carriages are trun
dled by hand to positions against the
curb east of the mosque. This Im
portant operation is supervised by the
chief eunuch, s coal black Ethiopian
over six feet tall, clothed in the mack
broadcloth of an undertaker, but wear,
lng the inevitable fes.
Meanwhile the minister of war is
lounging in front of the mosque en
trance and apparently cracking Jokes
with another brilliantly bedecked of
ficer. At any rate both are laughing,
and so are most of the other military
dignitaries. In a few minutes these
officers are lined up in a diagonal di
rection from the mosque steps.
The music of a military band is
heard coming from the east. Then
the sultan's bodyguard, a finely mount
ed and well set up body of cavalry,
comes up in a column of fours. When
they pass the sultan's carriage drives
up—an open carriage, containing a
somewhat portly, white bearded man,
whose Balute to the line of officers is
something of the slovenliest. He lum
bers out and into the mosque, while
the band from the barracks blown as
hard as it can and makes a shocking
series of discords with the infantry
band at the head of the small column
ol foot soldiers following the sultan's
carriage.
At the same time the muezzin pops
out of his little hole away up in the
minaret and intones the customary
summons to the faithful to go to
prayer. The faithful, however, re
main outside, because no one is al
lowed to go into the mosque while the
sultan Is there. ; '.
The whole ceremony la carried out
in a cheerful and careless way. There
appears to be no attempt to make any
special parade of good humor. The
thing just goes off as It might in the
piping times of peace.

If you ask a Turkish business man,
he will tell you at once that the war
la ruinous. He will tell you that there
is positively no business at all. In the
Grand Bazar the merchants alt cross

leap at a stranger like so many hun

We left Constantinople at 5 p. m. on
Sunday. The regular Balling hour la
noon, but the vessels are compelled to
start now at an hour which will bring
them to the Dardanelles in the early
morning. They cannot pass at night
on account of the, mines. It la at the
ancient gateway of the Hellespont
that one first realizes that grim war
la not far away from Constantinople.
The forts are all fully garrisoned and
the quiet discipline of military rou
tine is in evidence.
A 24-hour run from Constantinople
brings us to Smyrna, the key to Asia
Minor, the queen city of Turkey's
Astatic possessions, situated in a
place almost ideally planned for at
tack from the sea. The gulf runs In
land 34 miles. It is bounded by bold
mountainous headlands. Off its shores
He large islands, Mltylene and Chloa,
behind which an enemy'a fleets can
assemble unseen and make sudden
descents.
"There Is no business at all," said a
Bmyrna merchant. "It is true that
Constantinople has been affected, but
it Is very little. People continue to
go there. But here everything has
stopped. Why, you can buy our best
rugs at your own price. We can't sell
anything. We give things away. What
can we do?"
, **We don't have the big caravans,"
said a Smyrna man, "and there Is no
business for them. The little cara
vans carry necessities to the places
not on the railway line. That's all.
There is no business In Smyrna any
more. I this war does not end we
shall all be bankrupt."
Behind Smyrna are many great ra
vines In the hills. In all of them are
the tents of soldiers. Driving along
the roads In the mountains one oc
casionally meets a wagon loaded
with wooden boxes. On the top of
the boxes perches a soldier with rifle
in hand and filled cartridge belt slung
around his body. One realizes that he
