THE TURKISH WOMAN. "
Her Friday Rxenralon* on the Sweel
Water* of Asia.
Friday la the only day on whlcb
, Turkish women enjoy a little liberty
i and release from the dreadful seclusion
In which tbey are always kept, and
they are not slow to avail themselves
of the chance. On Fridays every one
?oes to the Sweet Waters of Asia,
Which consist of a small river running
about two miles inland, with trees and
meadows on onoii ?m? tt.???
. ? ?... iiuiiuii-uB or
boats assemble and glklc up and down
the river. Every l?oat or caique lias
-two or more Turkish ladles on board.
The sight Is n very fine one, ns each
private caique is most carefully got
up, and the boatmen wear brilliant liveries
to match the cushions and the
long embroidered cloth which hangs
over the stern and trails in the water.
The khedtvah of Egypt Is one of the
finest. In crimson and gold, embroidered
with crowns and lislics. Besides
the liveries the parasols make a wonderful
show, and here may be seen all
the latest Parisian crentlons. The ladles
must not speak to men, but the
careful observer can frequently catch
sight of veils lowered or other signal
given when a particular boat is passing,
and habitual frequenters can point
t out boats which are sometimes close to
each other. It is n very Innocent diversion
and would not satisfy western
ladles. An hour beforo sunset the police
boats appear nnd force all women
to leave.?London Telegraph.
Scotland's Ronnd Towers.
Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers .from the great
typical group found In Ireland. The
one Is nttnclied to the handsome cathedral
of Brechin and the other stands In
iue center or Abcrnethy, near the entrance
gate to tlie churchyard. The
Brechin tower, built iu six Irregular
courses and rising over 100 feet. Is the
more perfect of the two. It dates from
Kenneth's reign, 071-05, and has n most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of liaviilg, Jn 1772, found
handsome bells within its walls. These
were afterward removed and now hang
in a neighboring steeple. The origin of
these towers is now somewhat doubtful,
but archaeologists are generally
agreed that they were built In connection
with eburebca "for defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They were afterward
used as belfries, the Brechin tower having
done duty as such for generations.
The tower is now one of the sights of
the ancient town and is regarded as a
memorial of its early conectlon with
Ireland.?Scottish-American.
The Changed Grlmslj-.
There are numerous reliahln
men; out nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out bis human victims, as thcrs
are credible statements that his forefathers
used to do. Neither does be
lie In wait and, pouncing upon a hunter,
tear him into bloody shreds in de- _
lighted flendlshness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzly's disposition is likened by veteran
hunters to the change in the character
of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar bear of the arctics. When
the stntions for the Hudson.*V?y company
were established, the diaries of J

flawed nnd cbewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly a century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays It Is looked
upon as a cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bear's disposition.?Outing.
Cobweb Pill*.
In New England cobweb pills are
supposed to cure the ague, and In tlje

foot Is a sure cure for rheumatism If It
be carried in the pocket or worn suspended
from a string around the neck.
Tracing the spider web pill. It originated
in China, where all species of Insects
hare certain positive or negative
values'in medicine. In Peking It Is
customary to give two or three scorpions
or spiders to a patient IU Of fever.
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill of the New England
native -was easy. In Flanders the
live spider Is fastened Into the empty

SENATE'S BLIND CHAPLAIN.
! How Mr. Mllbarn Flrat Attracted

L Visitors to the national capital this
. winter hare missed William Henry
t Milburn, the blind cbnplnln of the senate.
who for half a century has been
1 one of the interesting personalities of
the nation's legislative halls. The retirement
of the blind chaplain is due to
advancing age, Mr. MUhurn having
passed his seventy-ninth birthday.
Mr. Milburn had the misfortune to
lose his left eye when a lad of five.
After years of partial blindness the
tight left his right eve. leavinsr Mm

but early In life went to Illinois,
at that time a part of the western
frontier.
He himself tells how he became
chaplain of congress the first time. On
board an Ohio river steamer he chanced
to meet some congressmen on their way
to Washington.
"As several of them," he says, "were
known to fame I took great interest In
observing them. I cannot say how
'much I was shocked nor hpw indignant
I became In discovering that some of
them swore outrageously, played cards
nnd drnnk whisky."
When Sunday morning came, Mr.

It was said that during the prosper- i

you could not have seen a piece of Iron
iu any merchant's house, hut all gold
and silver. They coined Immense quantities
of the precious metals and used
to make pieces of workmanship In
them for exportation. The very solI

themselves with the Hindoos of tho
lowest caste, made her fall ns rapid as
her rise was sudden and prodigious.
In less than a century and a half after

grandeur of a city.
Towering above n mass of ruins a
lolltary gateway flanks the entrance
o the Strada Dlretta, the Straight
itreet, 60 called because almost all tho
streets In old Goa are laid out In curvilinear
form. It was through this
>ortal surmounted by the figures of
5t. Catherine and Vasco da (lama
he newly appointed viceroys of Goa
Missed In triumphal procession to tho
Milace.
Beyond the gate a level road, once a

of the old place ure dead. Kites
and cobras Infest the crumbling halls
which once resounded with the banquet
and the dance, and naught but a
few old monks and nuns keeps vigil
amid Its desolation today.
But Goa possesses one treasure of
great Interest. This is the tomb of
Francis Xavler, the great Jesuit missionary
to the east. It Is to be found In
the Church of Bon Jesus. It is a masterpiece
of art which Is lost to all but
the casual visitors to old Goa. Some
have ventured to suggest that no other
mausoleum In India or even In Asia except
the Taj Mahal can equal It. It is
built of rlelt marble of variegated colors.

The bell of the Augustinlnu convent

to forget the effect of the deep,
mournful notes as they strike upon the

that which calls in vain from the tower
