A Military Guild.
The Mohammedan population of the
Turkish Empire has been very aptly
compared to an immense religious confraternity;
it is, in fact, a vast military
guild or brotherhood, according to the
author of the Sultan and His Subjects,
bound to obey the commands of its supreme
chiefs, the Sheik-ul-Islam and
the Sultan. Every Turk ought, in a
certain sense, to be a priest and a warftor.
Remembering this fact, we can
W readily understand the ease With which
the spirit of fanaticism is roused in
those portions of the empire where the
Turks are in the majority, and the ferocity
with which an otherwise docile
and somewhat indifferent natured people
will behave under the influence of
what I may call religious intoxication."
In 1896, Bermuda lily bulbs were

A Four-Dollar Gold Piece.
1 *1 - . _i 1 _ g% 4 l ,1
A curiosity m tiie sjjujjw ui u guiu
piece was offered at the sub-treasury
in Cincinnati. This ia probably the
first time in the history of the office
that a coin of that denomination was
ever beheld by the attaches. The
coin came from the Fifth National
Bank, to which one of the depositors
had taken it to find out how much it
was worth. The tellers at the bank
were unable to decide the question,
and the coin was sent to Uncle Sam's
employes in the Federal Building, but
no one there would accept it for the
Treasury for its face value.
Coin Teller Robert Brasher, who is a
numismatist of considerable repute, as
well as Teller White, who is considered
one of the most expert counterfeit
/lo+er>t<-.rs in thfi rountrv. and
Cashier Stout, said that they had
never heard of the Government coining
a piece of money of that denomination,
and that they would not accept it
even at its face value. The tables giving
the coinage of money from the
earliest date to the present time were
looked up, but there was no record of
the Government ever having coined a
S-i gold piece. The coin that was presented
was placed on the scales and
was found to weigh 108 2-10 grains,
making it worth about twenty cents
more than its face value.

First Sunday-School in the 'World.
In recounting the ministrations oi
John Wesley in Georgia, where the
famous preacher sowed the first seeds
of Methodism in America, the Rev. "W.
T T? T> in +Vip TiftriiAR* Hnmf
Journal, claims that Wesley established
the first Sunday-school in th
world, at Savannah. In connection
with his other labors, which were indeed
prodigious, Wesley soon after hie
arrival in Georgia, in 1736, began to
provide for the Sunday-school instruction
of the children of the parish. His
devotion to children at times almost
amounted to infatuation. Children
were likewise equally attached to him,
as shown in their intercourse with him.
Both on week days and Sabbaths he
gave no little attention to educational
work. Ab a preliminary labor on the
Sabbath, before the evening service, he
required them to convene in the church,
I at which time he catechised them.
I thoroughly and furnished them with
additional teaching from the Bible
itself.
"In the present "Wesleyan Memorial
Church, in Savannah, Georgia, there
is a Sunday-school room into which
hundreds of children crowd for Sunday
instruction. The original school
was less in number, but it was unquestionably
the first Sunday-school
in the world. When taught by Wesley
it numbered between sixty and
seventy-five scholars, but from all accounts
there were few, if any, Indian
boys in his earlier classes. A very
high authority, Sir Charles Keed, M.
P., LL.D., of England, is clearly of
the opinion that this Sunday-school
was the first founded in the world, and
that it antedates by a hulf century the

at Gloucester, England, as well as the

Strange Clew to a Murder.
A rich Russian banker had been
discovered murdered in his house in
St. Petersburg, says a -writer in the
Green Bag. There was no clew, but
in the room there was found a cigar
mouth-piece containing part of a cigar
of such an expensive kind that it was
supposed the banker himself had been
smoking it just before the crime had
been committed.
On close examination the mouthpiece
was found to be worn away by
the teeth of its owner, but the dead
man's teeth did not fit the indentation.
The servants were one by one examined,
and it was then found that
tee nouows 01 ine mouinpiece compared
exactly to the formation of the
front teeth of the cook, to whom no
suspicion had been attached. He afterward
confessed to the murder.

The Ornamental Parlor Maid.
It has been a growing custom for
those young men of sufficient leisure
to make afternoon calls on their lady
friends and sip with them a cup of tea.
The custom is bound to become immensely
popular should the feature
thus enunciated become universal.
Here is something decidedly new:
It is the ornamental parlor maid, a
lady-like being, -whose waist belt must
not measure over sixteen inches and
who is consequently the embodiment
of "style." She is permitted to wear
a dark blue serge costume, with white
j cuffs and collar, -while upon her per|
fectly dressed hair perches a coquet|

think what a new element of danger
this modish handmaiden may introduce
into certain households! She is
a prize figurehead of housework; the
envied of all her peers; the admired
of every visitor of the masculine gender;
the criticised of every other woman
who hasn't thought of setting up
a sixteen-inch waist tea bearer. Well,
well, perhaps we had better stick to
the thin-legged footman or to the butler
or even to a plebeian "girl" who
doesn't go to a manicure after all!?

Now,? perhaps, at the moment, in
spite of the brown linen revelations in
I undergarments and the augmenting
splendors of the millinery displays,
nothing is more refreshing to the already
footsore shopper, her brain dazzled
with money changing and close
bargaining, than those chosen corners
. of the big shops where tea gowns and
breakfast negligees are displayed,
i There is so much doing in this quar|
ter just now for a revival of a fashion
has sprung up unexpectedly, women
have decided that it is both a pretty
and appropriate thing to breakfast in
artistic volantes, crown their heads
with caps and rather make a function of
the early toilet, that none but the family
see.
For this reason we find, in both
elaborate and simple styles, the most
charming breakfasting robes, which
are something of a cross between the
wrapper and the too elaborate tea
gown. With each and everyone,
though a cap is worn, whether the
wearer is a debutante or the mother of
a debutante. The old women, however,
rather affects caps that tie under

married women cling to the coquettish

" Resented an Act of Politeness.
If she had been a plain-looking, middle-aged
woman I don't think she
would have resented it, but as she was
! an uncommonly handsome girl of
; twenty or thereabouts, and wore a
i stunning tailor-made suit of dark
i green, with a white vest, and a bunch
i of white cock plumes in her hat, she
1 mistook an act of politeness for impertinence
and "trunhim down," asChimmie
Fadden would say, with great vioI
lence.
She was going from the ferry to the
rnilxrnv nfntinn nrwl nnrrvinrr a flreas
j suit case in one hand and a natty um!
brella in the other. He looked like a
I gentleman, arfd I am sure he was one,
1 if physiognomy is any key to characj
ter, but Miss Disdain evidently misI
took him for a "masher," and when,
j as the boat reached the landing, he
! stepped up and asked permission to
carry her dress-suit case, she save him
j a look that was loaded with dynamite,
I and said:
"It is not at all necessary, sir."
His cheeks colored crimson. He
stepped back as if he had been stung,
! and lifting his hat again, begged her
j pardon and tried to hide himself in the
i throne:. I thought she micrht have
thanked him, ami her neglect to do so
showed that she was not a well-bred
girl. Fifty years ago?yes, ten years
ago, a woman would have expected
sMch an attention, and a dozen men
would have offered to cari^ her luggage
between the railway train and
the boat, but nowadays a gentleman
dare not offer to do an act of politeness
without being slapped in the face. I
said something to that effect to Mrs.
Worldwise, who also had witnessed
the incident, when she flared up, as
women will when their sex is criticised,
and said:
"Girls are compelled to protect
themselves from unwelcome attention."
"But if she bail been a plain girl she
would have accepted his offer," I suggested.
"If she had been a plain girl there
would have been no offer to accept."

The Millinery World.
Crinoline is much used for shaping
huts, and^it can be twisted, tucked,
doubled and waved to suit any style
of face. For large faces, hats should
liav^ much ribbon and floral decoration,
and if the ribbon be fancy and
gauzy it should be put on in big
bunches. In fact, a profusion of trimming,
especially flowers, is to be observed
in nearly all the season's millinery!
The fashionable hats and bonnets,
particularly those from Paris, have
somewhat harsh color combinations,
which only [a Parisian milliner can
make effective. A hat of black straw
may be ornamented with dark red and
orange yellow, or with "fresh-leaf"
green, violet and black.
Canvas sailors are'now as much worn
i?i ?1 U
as Straw ones; due tney biiuuiu ue
trimmed with ample bows of ribbon,
and some fine flowers to cover the
crown of the head when the hair is
worn low.
Many charming toques have a
foundation of pleated net, gauze, chiffon
or silk muslin, trimmed with
medium-sized flowers and feathers,
often of two or three colors,|or bird-ofparadise
plumes. Toques are altvays
becoming to young people, but for
summer wear they are ruinous to the
complexion. Wide, floppy hats give a
rural air which can be affected at no
other season.
Leghorns are very enchanting on
youthful heads; but the very coarse
straws now in vogue are a godsend to
the middle-aged woman, because their
ruggedness coincides agreeably with
even a wrinkle or two.

TVonderfnl Helen Keller.
The marvel of the modern worlds
Helen Keller, the blind girl of Alabama,
whose wonderful progress in
her studies for admission to Radcliffe
College have attracted the the attention
and aroused the admiration of the
wise men of the world, has just celebrated
her seventeenth birthday by
betrinninst her preliminary examina
tion. She -was seventeen years old
last Sunday, and she stood her first
examination Friday.
Miss Keller has been studying in a
preparatory school at Cambridge since
last fall. Her instruction in Latin,
German, French, history and geography
has not been specially difficult
since the great improvement in books
for the blind. Her text books look
like the big office books in use in
counting rooms. The raised letters
she can read as rapidly as if she could
see, and the Brayl system, where a
cipher consisting of dots and dashes
takes the place of letters can be read
even more rapidly, because the matter
is more condensed.
Books that have never been translated
for the blind, Miss Keller still
reads?not by sight as do the deaf
mutes, nor by listening to others, as
do the blind who can hear. She simply
places her hand over the fingers of
one who is reading by using the sign
lftncnafffi for the deaf, and catches
0 o '
every word. In this way she has
covered the whole range of her preparatory
studies. For her arithmetic
a special slate was invented, and she
has become an accurate and ready
worker in mathematics.
Miss Keller has been provided with
a planetarium, upon' which she can
feel the positions of the heavenly
bodies, and has gained a clear idea of
their relations to each other.
The whole world will watch the
progress of this wonderful girl's examination
for entrance to Radcliffe
College, on which the hope of her life
is staked. In studying these examinations
the papers are read to' her and
she writes the answers on a typewriter.
Her intelligence is preternaturally
keen, her enthusiasm indomitable
and her ambition boundless.
Many thousands who do not know her
will pray that she may succeed.?Atlanta

First White Child.
The first child of English parents
born in America was Virginia Dare,
the daughter of Ananias Dare anc
Eleanor White, members of one of th<
bands of colonists sent out to the
newly-discovered country by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh.
^'This event took place on August 18,
1587, ana, appropriately euuugii, uut
of the counties on Roanoke Islands it
called Dare County. While Virginia
was the first English subject born ir
the then distant land, a number of col
onists had settled in America two year*
previously; but they returned to England
in 1586.
In order to commemorate this settlement,
a memorial has just been erected
on the site of old Fort Baleigh, on
Boanoke Island. This memorial bearf
an inscription stating that: "On this
site, in August, 1585, the colonist*
Bent from England by Sir Waltei
d?i kui'lf flio fnrfc ^a11p(1 the New
.LVUi01?-U Uumvvuv .v., _
Fort, in Virginia."
It -was peculiarly appropriate thai
the first child born in America should
'be christened in the name of the State
which owed its own title to the desire
to pay a courtly compliment to the
Virgin Queen of England.
Growing Crystals.
A method of growing crystals oi
unusual lustre and transparency has
been described to the French Academj
by P. de Wateville. The small crystal
is mounted in such a manner thai
I it can be continuously rotated several
times in a second while growing in the
saturated solution. Alum crystals
grown in this way at fifty degrees successively
lose their dodecahedron and
cube faces, and at last have only those
of the octahedron. Especially line results
were obtained with potassium
and ammonia alums, copper sulphate
and sodium chlorate.
Peculiar Slab of Stone.
A peculiar slab of stone was found
in a coal mine at "Webster City, Iowa,
130 feet below the surface. It is about
two feet long by one foot wide and

A Short-L,lveil Island. 7
In 1867 a new shoal was discovered
in the group of tne Tonga, or j; nencuy
Islands. In 1877 smoke was seen
over the shoal. In 1885 the shcal had
become a volcanic island, moie than
two miles long and 240 feet high, and
a fierce eruption was taking place
within it. In 1886 the island had be- a,
gun to shrink in dimensions, although *
the next year its highest point was 325 ai
feet above sea level. In 1889 its *
height had diminished one-half, and 01

Bazaar fire. Mme. Roche-Sautier, ?
the proprietress of the hotel which e
abutted on the scane of the fire, sold a
the two remaining bars of iron which
blocked up the window through which
so many made their escape, for the J
sum of $140. Mme. Eoche-Santier I

There is a powder to bft shaken Into the
shoes called Allen's- Foot-Ease, invented by
Allen 8. Olmsted, Le Roy, N. Y., which
druggists and shoe dealers say is the best
thing they have ever sold to cure sore and
tender or aching feet. . Some dealers claim
that it makes tight or new shoes feel easy.
It certainly will cure corns and bunions and
relieve instantly sweating, hot or smarting
feet. It costs only a quarter, and the inventor
will send a sample free to any address.
