Miss Amy liodges of Rochester wlio “"tlal engaged in missionary work in Turkey recently delivered it lecture in her home city which is of particular interest to women. Her subject was "'Women of Turkey" and her remarks were illustrated by dolls dressed In the feminine costumes of Turkey. Anec- ran through the address. Miss Hodges. in speaking of the dress of the native women, said that , in the section of the country she vis-. tied It was considered a disgrace for‘ a Woman to let her hair be seen by anyone unless covered by veils. : Glanclng over her audience she said: “You do not know what difference I see In your faces and women of Turkey. ture that has been your inheritance for ages. Theirs has been for ages an j inheritance of ignorance. Some of their countenances seem so devoid of hope. Yet it isn't. strange that they do not do more for women in that country because they believe she has no soul. it is not strange that when a birth is expected the friends who gather at the house consider it a time for rejoicing when a boy comes, whereas if a girl they look upon it as a blight; walking away in silence. Women there are not ' allowed to go to the mosque. Why should they if they have no souls? "When two other ladies and myself wanted to visit the great. mosque we had to obtain a special permission and then go attended by a commissioner. sent by the American consul. in their language there are no words standing for home or character; therefore the words not existing the ideas are also lacking - “Turkey is a land of no pictures and no music. There is no social life there, for men and women do not feel at ease in each other's company. During the past half century a great change has come over the commercial condi- tions in Turkey Some years ago a merchant could not carry on business unless related to a Turkish family. but now there are a number carrying on successful enterprises. "An absorbing question now is how to get Turkish people to work. Agri- cultural conditions are poor although the soil is rich and productive. Rug making Is the most popular work but it is now hardly possible to dispose . of all made in that country. The an- lent designs are wanted by people in his country but the mistake of us- . s nontraits and other inartistic pat- terns, is made." BURIAL BY DEGREES. The few old ex-slaves now left in t 10 West Indies have many curious cus- tomb but the most curious is that of \ui‘ying themselves on the installment plan. When they comb their hair they are careful not to pull more hairs from ‘the head than they can help. Those wh ch come away they roll into a ball put Into a bag of white muslin. They do the same with the parings of their nails and any other portions of their anatomy which become detached When the bag is fall they bury it. if as ed why they do this they reply: on me dead massa, you bury me body., his hair am part of me body, so me bury It now when it dead.

In an interesting article in the New York l-lerald Stephen llonsul, ilic Tll' moiis war correspondent. discusues at length the remarkable prevalence of suicidal mania among our soldiers In the Philippines. While admitting that whisky and native poisonous drinks of which our soldiers have become ciininorcd are responsible for a part of the many cases of sudden madness, which are so often attended with mur- der and suicide, he maintains that fully twice as many are due to the cliinute_ to the terrible isolation which the men sometimes undergo, and to the awful strain to which they are sometimes subjected in battling with a wily and hidden foe. To the depress- ing isolation he attributes most of the cases of suicidal and murderous nianla which results in officers and men alike running amuck. We quote from the article one incident from which Mr. llonaiil stands sponsor: "The officer who lust his life in this instance was one of the most prom- ising of men. i knew him well in the trenches before Santiago and in the lonely station in the Philippines toi which lie was afterward assigned. lie stood six feet two inches in his stock- ings. was magnificently proportioned, and was known throughout the 501“ vice as the handsomcst man of his rank, and there was certainly no one who gave more certain promise of an honorable career. ”lie was a student. and it seemed to me when I left him in one of the, lonelicst provinces of Luzon that here was a man upon whose hands the time would not hang heavy as long as he had his distiitt to police his men to take care of and his military books to study. "A few weeks after I left him, how- ever, he ran amiick in his own gar- rison and wounded six men, two of whom afterward died. The night be- fore the frenzy manifested itself he hllil shown himself kinder to and more appreciative of his men than ever be- fore. lie visited the hospital. and with his own hands changed. a bandage which he thought the hospital stcw~ prd had arranged somewhat awkward- y. - “lie went, to the guard house and liberated a man who had been detain- ed for some minor offense. Then he went to bed, and the next that was seen of him. and the last was the fol. lowing picture: At rcveillie in the morning as the men hastened to the parade ground, rifle balls came zip- ping in their midst. “For a moment—but only for a mo ment~there was confusion: then the hostile fire. which had already brought down two men, was traced to the can falu's quarters. The first sergeant took command of the company and acted promptly. it was evident to him and the men that the insurgents had sneaked into the town during the night. murdered the captain and lntrcnchcd themsclies in his quartets because that was the most commanding posi- tion in the town Rallying round the sergeant, the men of the company in small skirinlshing, squads charged the quarters. was their dismay as they drew nearl to see the captain intreiiched behind mattresses and furniture firing upon them with his rifle as fast as the mag- azins could be loaded. The sergeant. in imminent danger of his life, par- leyed with him but to no avail The men withdrew and a telegram was sent to the district commander inform- ting him of the strange situation and asking for instructions. “Before these came however, the captain left his quarters and charged down through the barrack yard with a pistol in one hand and a knife In the other. Six men of his company had been seriously wounded and sev- eral natives when at last one of the soldiers who was lying on the ground. almost helpless from the wound he had received. shot the captain as he was approaching with the evident pur- pose of finishing his victim."
