Halt la Called on Movement Started by Young Turks Order for Using Thicker Face Coverings lo Enforced. Constantinople. The moveraont for the emancipation of Turkish women, which under the regime of the Young Turks gained considerable momen tum, has now received a serious set back. Encouraged by the Young Turks, women permitted themselves greater liberty of movement and in a short tlmo it was no uncommon thing to see husbands and wives riding in tho same carriage A woman's club with n membership from tho best Moslem families was formed and courses of lectures and literary evenings were given under Its auspices. Education for girls received attention and a school for girls under the patronage of tho president of the chamber was founded, whllo funds were provided for training teachers. The problem of the veil was in fluenced by the prevailing liberal ten dencies and In a short time, al though no one ventured to discard It entirely, it was so attenuated in many cases as to be little better than an apology for a veil. Many women while In the European quarter of the city wore the veil flung back over their heads. These reforms were not rocelved with good, grace- by tho more con servative Turks, who not only regard their womon as without souls, but object to any exhibition whatever of their bodies. This profound distrust- soon reaoted on the government nnd tho . Young Turks. The reformers found their tolerant attitude townrd their womon folks' aspirations was strengthening the opposition and especially lending point to the argument that they were not true believers. Nothing did more to add to tho prestige of the conserva tive Turks than tho charge that the Young Turks wero no longer good Moslems. KISSLESS MARRIAGE UPHELD New York Court Rules Pair Must Stay United, Even Without Osculation. New York. Doclarlng that his wlfo would not kiss him, Samuel Markowltz nsked tho supremo court In Brooklyn to annul his marriage to Mildred Mar kowltz. Mr. Markowitz, who is noted among his frlendB for his sartorial perfection, declared that whenever he attempted to embrace his wlfo she repulsed him coldly and got beyond his roach. Mr. Markowltz admitted that except in tho matter of kissing him, Mrs. Markowitz was a model wife, and that It was with sorrow he was forced to bring pro ceodlugs for annulment of tho mar riage JuBtico Marean, before whom tho motion was tried, characterized as ab surd the grounds upon which Mr. Mar kowltz sought freedom from his wlfo, nnd denied the motion. MrB. Markowltz, In a counter action boforo Justlco Dlackmar, prayed that alimony and counsel fco bo granted her. Through her counsel sho stated that sho waa married when her hus band was 18 years old, and that prior to hor meeting with him ho had con tracted other alliances, of which sho was ignorant at that time. Mrs. Markowitz made no effort to deny her coldness to hor husband, and declared that tho marriago was per formed at tho Instance of her mother, to whom oho said ho had gone, threat ening to commit suicide if ho could not marry tho daughter. The court denied the motion. JtescLWEfl&ej&Racsasiafir procession at the inauguration ol are William Llbbcy, grand inarstaal; Illbbcn, Chlof Justice White, Associate To vlndicato their conformity with the teachings of the prophet It was necessary for the reformers to be come reactionaries as far as tho womeit wero concerned, so orders were Issued that no Turkish woman wns to appear In public wearing a thin veil; she must not loiter In front of Euro pean shops; nnd she must not enter such places except under special cir cumstances. Tho women were warned, In short, to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible in public, on pain of arrest and punishment. Under this new rule several Moslem women of ovil repu tation have been arrested and exiled. In consequence of these harsh reg ulations the women nro going more heavily veiled than even under the old regime, but as some compensa tion lately they have begun to cupy European dress in other parts of their attire, even their skirts In many cases being modeled on tho hobble pattern. CRIES OF BABIES MUSICAL Discovery of a London Curate Who Has Christened Many Infants. London. Music for Psalm 1H7, "Uy tho Waters of Babylon Wo Sat," was inspired entirely, says tho composer, "from hearing babies cry at baptismal sorvices." Tho composer Is the Hev. Noel Ho-navla-Ilunt, who has been for six years tho senior curate of St. Mat thew's Church, Willesden, a London suburb. Duilng hiB bIx years at St. Matthew's the senior curato has chris tened many Willesden babies, and con trary to tho generality of mankind he found raUBlc In their wails. "I was so impressed," ha says, "with the musical qualities of tho cries that I considered they ought to be recorded in some way. I also wished to. wrlto a chant which was original. "Now I claim that this composition Is original and at the same tlmo mu sical and not grotesque. It represents moro or less tho meaning of the words to which It is Bet, 'By the Wators of Babylon We Sat Down and Wept: When We Remembered Thee, O Sion.' The lamentation is illustrated musical- Andrew Carnegie in Novel Figures as Leading Character in Woman's Book. Former American Steel King Joins the Lovers and Also Starts Par liament of Humanity for Benefit of World. Berlin. Andrew Carnegie, who was Introduced by George Bernard Shaw Into the latter's play, "Major Barbara," also appears, under another name, in a new novel by Baroness Bertha von Suttner, the peace propagandist au thor of "Lay Down Your Arms." This latest work of tho baroness benrs tho aspiring tltlo "Der Mon Bchhelt Hochgedanken," which may bo translated as "High-Thinking Hu manity." It tolls how Frankn Garlett, daughter of a poor Auatilaii school master who married a countess, in herits millions from her grandfather, and dovotes her llfo and her money to pleaching a new doctrlno of fem inism. At first she Is helped In this by a young poet, Chlodwlg Helmer. The now feminism aims at helping women to asquiro male virtues with out male vlcos and weaknesses. After somo years' propagandizing, Frnnka discovers that fho Is a woman nnd has a right to live! and at this moment she meets ngalh her old friend Helmer and marries him.

It eeeins that babes when thoy qry, In church at any rate, do so at certain musical Intervals, sevenths, sixths or seconds. Boys cry louder than girls. Ail crying can be reduced to musical notes, and' tho erica or people ot nil ages differ very little. Mr. Bonnvla-llunt claims that his setting of the penitential psalm con tains two of the Intervals at which babies cry and reproduces with con siderable fidelity, when played on tho organ, tho long drawn walling of In fants mingled with tho cries of men and women. THIEF BINDS WOMAN TO POST Gags Her, Then Robs Her Children's Banks of Their Savings and Escapes. Camden, N. J. Mrs. Annie Cham bers, wife of a Pennsylvania railroad engine driver, was bound and gagged by a robber in her homo whllo tho thief went through tho houso and took what money ho could flndi Two little children of tho woman wero locked in nnother room while the rob ber worked. Mrs. Chambers put up a hard fight, but was overcome and bound, feet In tho air and head down, to a bed post. The burglar broko open four small banks in which tho children had placed their savings and got $45. The cries of tho children attracted neigh bors, who released Mrs. Chambers.

CREW LASHED TO RIGGING Thrilling Experience of Men and One Woman on a Fishing Steamer. Seward, Alasko. The mnll steamer Dora, bringing 30 survhors of the wrecked codflshlng Bchoonor Joseph Rubs, Including Mrs. Charles Fosn, wlfo of tho master of tho lost vessol, has arrived from Chlrlkof island, where tho Rubs wont ashoro. Tho Russ struck nt high tldet dur Ing a terrific gale. Immenpe waves swept the decks nnd the crow nnd tho lone woman lashed themselves to tho rigging, whore they remained six hours When tho tide went out baggago, provisions and other articles that would enable them to live on the un inhabited island until rescuers came, were takon off the vessel. Several members of tho crew In two small dories rowed to ChIg,Mk, 100 miles Spiritual Gifts and How to Find Them By Rev. H. W. Pope. Superintendent of Mtg of Moody Bible Institute, Chicles In tho twelfth chnptor of First Corinthians, and usually in Taul'a writings, tho church ia repre sented as tho body of which Christ Is tho head, As the head directs tho body, nnd through It gives expression to its will, so Christ pvnntR.qM W 4- h,a wln through KMfeJ afA, tho church, which la his body. Every believer at conversion la united to tho body of Christ, nnd thereby becomes a member. Each member hnB some function to per form, just as tho hand or eye has in tho physical body. "To ovory man his work." As each member has somo function to perform, so alBO ho has somo gift, for tho great head of the church does not expect tho members to Bervo without a capacity for service "Tho manifestation of tho spirit la given to every man." (I Cor. 12:7). Every believer Is bound to bellevo that ho has somo spiritual gifts, oven if ho has not discovered it, and even If other pcoplo think and say that ho has none. God says ho has, and that settles It, and the humblest believer will And, If ho 1b willing to wait, and work, and pray, that God's promlso la true. When Dwlght L. Moody was exam ined for church membership ono of the deacons went homo and told his family, that of all tho pcoplo whom ho had over examined, young Moody waa about tho most unpromising. Events proved that God's promises are moro rellablo than a deacon's Judg ment. Tho spiritual gifts which bellovers rocclvo nro not of their own selec tion, but aro such as God chooses to confer upon them. "Dividing to ev ery ninn severally as ho will." "God hath Bet tho members every ono of them In tho body as It hath pleased him." (1 Cor. 12:11, 18). Spiritual gifts aro not conferred on us for our own benefit, but "for tho perfecting of the BaintB, for tho work of tho ministry, for the edifying of tho body of Christ" (Eph. 4:12). Too oft en this Is forgotten, and many a fee bio church has unemployed talent enough in its membership to mako It a mighty spiritual power, if only its members would exercise their gifts. 1. Many Christians question serious ly whether they have any spiritual gift, and tho devil encourages thorn in this belief. So long as ho can keep them inactive in the master's servico, they give him llttlo trouble. As a rulo this notion arises from tho fact that they have novcr nttempted any kind of Christian work. They havo never tried earnestly to moot any spiritual need, and lionco they do not know what they can do. A duck would never know that it could swim if It did not attempt it. Gifts Are Different. It is a great mistake to suppose that all spiritual gifts nro necessarily gifts of speech. By no moans. What a misfortune It would bo if tho body of ChrUt wero nil mouth! Lot It novcr bo forgotten that tho oyo and tho ear, the hand and tho foot are Just as Im portant ns tho mouth. Romans 12:G-1C Bhows what a groat varioty of gifts the spirit confers on tho mem bers of tho body. Among thorn is cheerfulness, hatred of evil, pallonco in suffering, prayerfulncss, and hospi tality. Tho fact Is Oliat many spirit ual gifts are not recognized as euch. About two years ago I was present at a football game between Yale nnd Princeton. On the grand stand wero nearly twenty thousand pcoplo Di rectly back of me sat a young lady accompanied by n gentleman. Sho was one of those healthy, happy girls that carry sunshlno with them wher ever they go. Whenever n good play was made, sho gave vent to her en thusiasm in tho heartiest manner. Finally, a Yale man caught the ball and, making a fine end play, ho ran down the field in triumph. Springing to her feet, she throw up her hat, coat, and everything about her that was loose, and shouted, "Oh, I am so glad I was born." The young man seemed equally glad, and I nm frank to confess that I shared his sentiments! Suoh splen did enthusiasm! What would It ho worth to the chesg of Christ? How it would Inspire n. church, or put new llfo into a dead prayer meeting, or mako even drudgery scorn delightful. You may not havo the gift of en thusiasm, but perhaps you have cour ago to nttempt hard things, or a pn tlence that never tires, or a cheerful ness thnt is contagious, or tho faculty of making othcis see things as you do, or the gift of appreciating other peo ple's good qualities, which is ono of tho finest of nil. You certainly havo somo gift, for God says so. II. HoV can one asceitain what lila gifts are? By going to work for Christ. Ab a rulo-no ono knows what gifts he possesses until ho begins to use them. Constantinople Mosquo Suffers From Earthquakes, Age and Neg lect, London. Another world famod structure now throatons to fall. This Is tho sixth century domo of St. Sophia in Constantinople. Tho Turkish nuthorltics aro making somo attempts to savo it, but their ef forts aro clumsy nnd inofllciont.

Nelthor Frenchman nor Italian could ngreo to suffer Turkish Inter ference with a work of such oxqulslto art, and nothing was dono. Humidity, earthquakes, fires and bombardments havo all contributed to tho undermining of tho building. Tho carthquako of 1893 damaged tho domo seriously, opening sevoral serious fis sures. Rain wator has sinco perme ated tho masonry, weakening It every year moro and moro. Tho superb mosaics in tho interior aro disfigured by crncks nnd oven tho casual observer can sco that tho ex terior of the cupola no longer pro serves its Binooth ooml-clrculnr out lino. Slgnor Marangonl hns estimated that $500,000 would bo required to re pair tho dome.

ROBBER'S GRAVE IN JAPAN Superstition Makes Headstono oi Nezuml Kozo, Who 8tolo for tho Poor, a Lucky Talisman. Tokyo, Japan. Behind tho temple sacred to tho Nameless Doad and closo to tho wrestling amphitheater in Tokyo there is to bo found the gravo of tho eolebrnted robber, Nezu ml Kozo, who stole from tho dalmyos long ago in tho old Yedo days that he might relievo the sufferings of the poor. Thoro is a superstition con nected with this grave which has made it a much frequontod spot. II a portion of tho headstono is carried away It acts as a lucky talisman, par ticularly to those who spoculato ot nro otherwlso engaged in games oi chance. It Is ubuoI for a person breaking a pleco from tho stono to mako a vow that in caso ho Is suc cessful he will buy a now headstone to roplace tho ono ho has mutilated Many prayers must havo been an BWered, for tho stones nro piled high on either aldo of tho grave, and an enterprising individual near by has tho Btonea already for sale and only waiting the nnmo of tho donor to bo engraved nnd thon act up. A shelter has been placed over tho opot, and from tho roof hang gay lanterns nnd pilgrims' banners, A largo monoy box catches all tho atray sen which go for tho upkeeplng of tho grave.
