But no member of Washington society will now risk an introduction to the terrible Turk if she can help herself.—St. Ivonls Globe Democrat. The Minister stopped to think for a full half minute, and, with a puzzled look, reumed:The lady said that she had entered the state of matrimony some ten years ago. "How many children have yon ?" was the nest question. The lady replied, with a slight manifestation of embarrassment, that she had none. "May I ask how long you have been marriea ?" The new Turkish Minister ia a terror to Washington society. He is one or thoae foreigners who come to America full of curiosity concerning the people, and with no hesitation about exercising it. Usually the American ladiea of Waatyngton are willing to aatiafy this curiosity, and can hold their own against the questioning. But this new Turk is altogether unspeakable in a social sense. He attended an official function a few evenings since and was introduced to a lady in full reception dress, a little fuller than naual, perhaps. The Turk exchanged the ordinary commonplaces, for he talks the language of the country to which he is accredited. Gradually his attention became rtvited upon the lady'a costume in such a manner that ahe was embarraaaed, and raised her fan in front of her. At length the Minister, in hia earneat way, pointiog to the low cnt of the bodice, asked : "Madame, does your husband permit thia without protest ?" The lady colored furiously and replied that her husband found no fault with her taate. The Minister shook his head in a deprecating way, and began to tell how different it was in his country. The lady made her escape aa quickly as possible. Not many evenings afterward the Minister was at another official reception. He was presented to a well-known society woman, and began: "Are you married ?" The lady answered in tbe affirmative with a smile Shoe Sale going on for early buyer*. We will give you *ome bargain*.

Irdtffera essentially from work, in which the fundamental idea is that of labor. On the contrary, the idea of exercise is based upon activities undertaken for the benefit of the body or mind, some form of exertion intended to promote health or furnish amusement. Work is essentially toll, even though it be congenial. Kxercise, on the other hand, is purely recreation. If exercise be taken only from ft sense of duty, it loses the distinguishing feature of exercise and Incomes work. A course of exercise, say cycling, should be carried on by easy stages. Kxercise is a tonic and therefore benefit is not to be derived from a single dose. If active exercise is necessary as a hygienic measure, what form is best ? Vou cannot persuade your patients to run, it is so undignified ; or to saw wood, it is too laborious. But if you can persuade them to ride a wheel, you have cured them, if it is exercise they need." The wheel was then discussed from the therapeutic point of view in this way : "Active exercise may be divided into three classes, those requiring strength, speed, and stamina, and they all increase in common the circulation of the blood. Exercises requiring the exertion of strength are more fatiguing than those of speed. Cycling can be adapted to the requirements of Ithe enfeebled Invalid. Highest prices paid for country produce.

Not with the consent of the American people. The raising of the Stars and Stripes by the people of Xegros over their capital will pain Senators Hale, Iloar and Gorman. Negros is an island of about 360, 000 population, and a near neighbor of Cebu and I'anay, in the Visayas, or Central Philippines. Bacolod is its capital, and there are two or three other considerable towns. It is rich in sugar plantations on the cultivated lowlands of the coast, and produces also some tobacco. It is, of course, the intelligent and wellto-do planters of the coast rather than the savage Malaya of the inland mountain forests who have raised our flag. These Negritos, in overthrowing Spanish rnle laat autumn and establishing a Provisional Government of their own, were invited by Aguinaldo to join their fortunes to his. Bnt they had better proapecta than he could offer them. Uncle Sam waa a bigger man than Aguinaldo. Learning that the Islands were to pasa into out country's handa, they put themselves into communication with Opt. Glaaa of the Charlaton and afterwards with Gen. Miller at Iloilo.

Vaucanaon invented a horaeleaa carriage some one hundred and fifty years ago. In a document which haa recently been discovered It is recorded that the mechanician waa honored, in 1740, by a visit from loiii XV for the purpose of inapectine the carriage which ran without the aid of horsea or other vlaible means of propulsion. Two persons in, the vehicle made the round of the courtyard to the aatisfactlon of his majesty and suit, but, though a promise was secured of royal patronage, the Academy of Sciences declared that such a conveyance couM not be tolerated in the streets, so the scheme hsd to be abandoned. The motor power waa supplied by a huge clockspring, so that only a short journey was possible, but the gear seems to closely resemble that of the horseless carriage of to-day.— Scientific American. armacy — and givea you the purest drugs manufactured for the most reasonable prioee at whioh they oan be sold.

After dinner the talk ran upon the claims made by the new woman for the ballot and higher wages. The old doctor listened in silence awhile and then said: "I have nothing to say as to woman's rights, but I have an opinion as to the way in which she should urge them. I*t me recall one or two facta. "The straw workers near Florence, in Italy, aome little time ago struck for higher pay. The soldiery were called in Sj their employers. When the troops arved in a railroad train they found nundreda of women, young and old, aeated on the track, 'like nothing so much,' said an eyewitness, 'as a flock of cackling hens." "The crowd stood around, laughing and joking with Italian delight in fun. The engine drawing the train stopped, then, threatening to run over them, moved forward a foot or two.
