A grotesque instance of this and one of very frequent occurrence may be cited. When a Are breaks out at Constantinople or in the environs the sultan sends an aide-de-camp with or ders to the commandant of the fire brigade to extinglulsh it at once.

A few years ago an English traveller in Turkey reported a ease of stealing as it wus tried in the courts of that country. The Armenian newspapers ol that time, commenting upon the ease, said that It proved that tlie testimony of a calf was worth more than that of two Christians. A Turk, couveting a cow belonging to a Christian, succeed ed in stealing it. The owner com plained of the theft to the nearest judge, bringing a frlcn.l to corroborate his story, and he demanded the resto ration of his property. The judge de clined to believe either tlie injured man or his fnend. On this the injured man said. "I have the calf of this cow at a place very near tlie court, and if your honor will have the cow brought to the calf and will observe the two togeth er, he will immediately perceive by their affection for each other that the cow must be the mother of the calf, and this will prove that slip belongs to ■vw. ” A ..aa.AIm.I., .
