Dertehes had ceased their holy waltzing and their demoniac howling. Priests had left their lofty minarets for the night The sultan had sunk into a trance. : Tho ba zaars, where notions of all nations are sold, were barred and bolted up. The coffee nhops had quenched their charcoal fires. Tho beggars on the bridge bad dragged home thcii stumps and Bores.

I put my boot on and bade the visitor open the door. It was Antonio, my dragoman, or courier, whom I had hired that day, and thus be spoke: : "Monsieur, sore, nous avons.

" American gig, was lined with red cushions and. white lambskins. There were two boatmen, because the Sweet Waters, where we were to land, was far up the Bosporus, and it was 'tolerably bard work, even for them... brawny and accustomed to rowing as they were. . Antonio, my scoundrel of a guide, held forth on the white minarets, looking ghostlike in the moonlight and on the dark cypress trees, throw ing their heavy shaking shadows athwart the phosphorescent water. He bade me observe how thecaioue. joe (boatman) fastens his oars by leatner loops to pegs on tne sides or the boat; which had no rowlocks a simple plan that prevents them ever being lost unless they break in some of. the whirling and impetuous cur rents of the Bosporus. - Every time I looked the boatmen laughed with all their teeth and said anrmatively, "Bono, Johnny," upon which I call ed out authoritatively, "Chapukl (Quick, quick !) : and to which .they invariably replied by saying, "Ya wash, yawash, " meaning: "No har ry. All in good time." Antonio, as we progressed, grad ually transferred bis conversation from myself to the boatmen. At that time I knew very little of their sweet sounding jargon, and natural. Jy feeling uninterested I closed my eyes and sunk into a reverie, to be aroused therefrom by one of . the boatmen using a Turkish phrase, the meaning of which was known to me, in tones of tbe deepest disgust. Their fierce and furtive glances, to gether with the frequent use of that one phrase which might be trans lated thus, "Dog of an infidel,',' con firmed a sudden suspicion that I was in a serious ccrcpe. I wcg so seated that, although my face was not seen by them, I could discern their fea tures and gestures plainly, . ' "Chapukl" I cried imperiqutdy, knowing that it is generally best to show no white feather. - "Yawasb, yawashl" replied the boatmen defiantly.. . "No bnrry, sure," said Antonio, lighting his chibouk and puffing away complacently. ' ' IIow I regretted having left the Pera hotel at that unseemly hour to seo n parcel of Circassian ragamuf fins, wlio were perhaps not worth seeing!, How roundly I swore that if it were permitted me to issue scathiess from that scrape I would never be out after dark again in Turkey! ' - ' . ; ; - Past the Maiden s tower, a sort of legendary lighthouse that stands on a rock at theentrance t-f the Golden Horn ojiposite Scutari past long lines of vessels and rows of dark red wooden houses with broad flat roofs and cellar like boatbouses ; past plane trees and cyprestees, silent cajques and coffee houses, with here and there a dead . lump of carrion bob- Iring like a float in the moonlight. swollen and horrible, we reached at last the Sweet Water meadows. where the . deserted caiques were gathered thick as carriages round tbe door of the Theatre Francais. I bad a mind to make those two villainous boifJmen row me bock again, because, as we were near one of tho sultan's tinselly Italian pal aces, neither they nor the audacious Albanian dare attempt violence just then, but unfortunately I was rrou- bled with a weakness called pride. which . troublesome infirmity should advise my readers, if ever they are placed' in similar circum stances, to conquer tight away. Al though I felt I thereby placed my life in jeopardy, I could not for the life of me take the certain way of escaiie that offered itself and deter mined to pursue at all hazards the object for which I bad set out The two boatmen jumped on land. and drawing the caique almost high and dry so that we should . not wet our feot stood with ready tl held ont to receive their pay. I gave a few piaaters to each, and then an animated conversation ensued be tween my dragoman and them, con ducted in Turkish, and in which tho constant repetition of tbo phrase be fore translated again ocenrred. : "Dry- will wait, sure," said the AllsmUn at its cnnclwion.. ' . "All right," I returned, affecting more coolness than I felt, for I bad no arroa with me bigger than a pen knife, and I bad seen tbem produce' during the laver bright, ugly look ing knives from their vohnoraota sleevea. "Cbapukl 1 want (o get back soon." . . Antonio uttered a Valediction to his (as I sui'poaed tbem) accomplioea, and we entered a defile whose quick ly height ruing aideav were topped with regular rows of cy pi ess trees. In a little while on either side, be fore and behind, there was nothing but impenetrable darknew vbdble, j anl aboe, the sky, now evtrvaat - " 1 J - ' , "J . .- - --- -- r- with clouds, was starless and gloomy. The (tragoman led the way, stealing on with a lithe, sure step and waft ing clouds of perfume from his chi bouk. Trying to divest myself ol the conviction that I was about to beeomo the victim of an already concocted plot, bringing forth a whole array of arguments to justify that attempt,' and yot peering nerv ously into the darkness right and left, anon in the direction of the Al banian and thenahrinkingly behind me, I followed without a protest in his footsteps, just as a lamb goes to the slaughter house; " ;: "tt He carried a lamp suchas all drag omans carry in the nighttime, and suddenly bethinking myself of this I asked him to light it "Presently, sare," he said. "We shall come into plenty light soon. " To the best of my belief we hod now gone about half a mile. Once or twice I fancied I heard a footfall in our rear and with a contraction of the heart half turned to face' an anticipated assailant, but nothing emerged from the darkness, and I resumed my journey, perturbed and painfully 'suspicious. The clouds suddenly thinned before the watery moon, and the irregular walls of an old tumble down ruin, formerly a mosque of much repute, but now a playhouse for all the little Turks in the villages roundabout, loomed di rectly before us; the defile ending abruptly at the mouth of a rude road on the right The Albanian proposed lighting the lamp in this ruin, as on account of a gusty wind it would be difficult to light it outside. 1 thought his proposal rather un called for. since we had the moon. but acquiesced quietly and followed him into the mosque, which hod been built up in that semioriental Byzantine style that, back through Venice, spread throughout Europe, even in Canute of England's time, I was Interested in this relic of an- othor age and momentarily forgot my suspicions. Antonio stepped into a vault which was still almost en tiro and which had once in all prob ability been the refectory where the dervishes, or priests, partook mod erately of food. He opened the door of the gaudy lantern, which would have romirAled you of Aladdin's. and striking a match lit the wick. "You wait Me fill chibouk," siid be, setting tho lantern down. I was seized from liehind and thrown violently to the around. fulling with my hip on a sharp stono that mnde me lame for weeks after. I turned round without lisiuur be ing then unable, on account of the wound I bad received, and saw one stalwart cssailant cover me with a gun and the other lehind him grasp the bilt of a disagreeable knife. . Antonio held the lamp aloft and seemed to regard the whole affair as a capital joko. r ine uatmun with tho gun spoke fiercely in. Turkish, and the Allmni-1 . anr turning to -awy said: -J.' Want f money, earo. tiive 'em money, you : go safe." ' . , , i It was very unpleasant looking up ' the mnzzbj of thut gun and feeling that the slightest movement might endanger my ' life, . but I . am an American and disliked the cavalier manner of those Turkish dogs. I was just about to defy them to do their worst when I beard the tread of men outside.. I shouted out for help at the top of my voice, and six Turkiah soldiers, beaded by an ofti oCl romo into tho ruin at a trot and halted at the entrance of tho vault, covering us all with their match locks.

H. King of the Wiscon sin experiment station, in his paper on ."Irrigation In Hnndd-Clnnatos, " pnb lisbed in a farmers' bulletin, has ihe following to say on the couxtrnctlou of the reservoirs necessary where pumps are employed, and particularly if wind mills aro used: ' ; The location of the roservoirs should be snob that its level is above that of tbe loud to which it is to supply water. The deeper tho reservoir cau be made the less will be tbe loss by evaporation and usually also by leakage, bat if the water supplied to it is too cold to use it will warm foster in a shallow reservoir. Where the soil is of a clayey nature a good reservoir may be made by first plowing and removing tbe sod to a dis tance beyond the border of tbe proposed walls, because if introduced into tbe wall it will leak. The earth, is then plowed and scraped iuto a hrond ridge having the inside slanting iu order that the waves shall not erode the embank ment While the earth is being deposit ed in the wall it should be trampled firm and close. Wben the proper height and form have been given to the walls of the reservoir, it is neoeasary to plow aud thoroughly pulverise the bottom to a depth of five inches hrennrutorv to puddling it If tho reservoir is circular I in outline, the loosened soil shotdd bo first wet at the center and thoroughly middled them tnr h.,nlln. wl.K 1 team, Then by widening the wet area CoNsTBncTio or nBssuvoiiu. tho team may be driven ronnd and round until the sides are reached and the whole thoroughly worked into a mortar. In this condition, if thoroughly pad dled, tho reservoir is nearly water tight Tq prevent washing tho inner slopo may be covered with a layer of conrso gravel or crashed rock. If a perfectly water tight reservoir is desired, tho bottom should be cemented," coated with asphalt aud sand, or six or eight inches of brick clay used in the puddling. ;, i To remove the water from the reser voir tho bast plau is' to use lap weld team pipe provided with au elbow and biid with the mouth of the elbow level with ' the bottom Of tho reservoir and ' facing up Thi is dosed with a ping to I hu-h long T handle is attached, Tlie cut represeuts a cross section of reservoir with plug uincrted iu the discharge pipe. The end of tlie pipe where the ping is inserted should be tlwmugldy imbedded iu a huge moss of cement heavy euough to prevent it from being shaken wiii-n the plug hi tukeu out or inserted. A res ervoir with sliiing sides should have an outlet at the junction of the sides aud botfami, aud it will be necessary to build a pier out. to it in order to reach the ping. 1' A reservoir 4 feet deep and 40 feet in diameter will bold water enough to ir rigate 0.85 acre 4 inches deep aud 0.00 arro 8 inches deep and 100 feet in di anietcr will irrigate 4.08 aud 2. 10 acres 8 and 4 inches deep respectively.

Taken Whleh Are riadlag I . - voe as Food Tvr at.afc. I Attention has been railed of . late to i artichokes as rood fur stock, notably for bogs. Farmers in various sections of the . country nave reported success with feed ing swine ou theso tabors until a short time tofore killing, wben a few bnshels of corn are given to harden the flesh. 1 Following are extracts from a .Michigan twiner's letter to Vick's Illustrated .One snracf artichokes will keep from JO to 80 hogs in the best . condition. f they are always . boalthy when fed ou . thorn. For horses, cattle and sheop there is not a better : root grown. Oue acre will produce from 800 to 700 bushels of tabors, depending on the oil.

The tubers are nrach like Irish pota toes in . appearance, only rougher, flesh pnre white,, very brittle and sweet Many farmers in Newago county are growing them extensively as a general farm crop. Tbe artichoke is important, as no insect blight or rnst has yet struck it and the tops make a good fodder when properly handled. Last winter they were tented at tho Freiuout cream ery with the best of results. ; ! - Lowland which is too frosty for corn and many othor crops is just tho place for artichokes, as freezing does not hurt them.

The pino tree, one of the most useful timber trees ever grown, thrives in Now England, but the Original growth was cutoff by the early settlers, Tho bind on which it grew fulled to produce pay ing crops after a few years and is now mostly deserted a wnsto so far as use ful crops are concerned. j Bund Kow Yorker calls attention to tbe efforts now being made to encourage the planting of pine trees again on this land, and in parts of Kew Hampshire and Massachu setts quite a little of it has actually beeu done. The seeds of the pine aro broadcasted, usually with oats or other grain, and after a year or two the sur plus trees aro eat out. It is said that all a pine tree needs is a "foothold In tlie oil aud water," and it certainly does make a. surprising growth on poor land. At the aud of 80 years some of the trees may be cut and sawed into tlie narrow boards used ia making boxes. Twenty yean may seem a bmg time to wait for a crop, bat tho cost is little, while the returns are aura. Thousands of people are satWfted to insure their lives on the 20 year installment plan as an investment Any man of middle age on. a Mew fctia land form containing wate land might well consider the plan of starting a pine grove to provide a shelter against the blast of old age.
