THE TURKISH KAIK
It Store Closely HcMenihlcM the Con-
dula Than Any Other Craft
Crawford the author to whose skill
1 ful pea Constantinople Is Indebted for
one of the most charming volHmes ever
issued in Its praise has a word to say
about the Turkish boatmen and their
vehicle the kaik
Constantinople owes much writes
he to the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together be
neath Its walls and much of their
reputation again has become world
wide by the kaik It Is disputed and
disputable whether the Turks copied
the Venetian gondola or whether the
Venetians imitated the Turkish kaik
but the resemblance between them is
so strong as to make it certain that
they have a common origin Take
from the gondola the felse or hood
and the rostrated stem and the re
mainder is practically the kaik It is
of all craft of its size the swiftest the
most easy to handle and the most com
fortable and the Turks generally are
admitted to be the best oarsmen in
Europe
Indeed they have need to be for
both the Bosporus and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft of every
kind and made dangerous by the swift
est of currents The distances too are
very great and such as no ordinary
oarsman would undertake for pleasure
or for the sake of exercise It is no
i joke to pull fifteen or sixteen miles
against a stream which In some places
runs four or five knots an hour
Gardening In America
Gardening in America has reached
what one mlglit call the awkward
age Neither a man nor a country
goes a gardenlng In early youth Men
come to build stately sooner than to
garden finely as Bacon once said and
as every garden writing body has re
peated until Sir Francis in Elysium
must regret he ever made the remark
which none the less is true Gardening
is essentially a middle aged enjoyment
and America being as nations go still
young her garden craft has the faults
of youth It has its Incongruities in
harmonies and it often mistakes size
and expenditure for excellence Cen

In the Sanie Boat
The Duke of Leeds before succeed
ing to his title was active in politics
Once when canvassing he came upon
an English shoemaker whose vote he
solicited Sorry said the shoemak
er but Im not going to Yote for any
bloomin aristocrat I cant afford it
Ive got four children to bring up
Thats nothing replied the duke
Ive got five and -they are all girls
The shoemaker came up and touched
him on the arm All right old chap
he said You shall have my vote It
seems to me we are both in the same
boat and wed better stick together
Doctors and Medicine
When a doctor does not have much
faith in medicine it is a sign that he is
a good doctor The best doctors are
those who give good advIce rather than
medicine advice that is simple and
has common sense back of it Too
many people imagine they can abuse
themselves and hire a doctor to make
them as well as ever for 2 Nothing

EX SENATOP W E
CHANDLER
HE now fa
jj mous senato
rial episode In
which former Sen
ator William E
Chandler of New
Hampshire has fig
ured recalls public
attention to a man
who for twenty five
years was conspic
uous among the no
table men at Wash
ington Mr Chand
ler who is now
president of the Spanish treaty claims
commission was one of the first to
give practical and thorough study to
the problems connected with curbing
the power of large corporations and
it was due to his familiarity with such
matters that he was called into the
case in the consideration of the rate
bill Mr Chandler was secretary of
the navy under Arthur and he served
three terms as senator He was noted
for his advocacy of International bi
metallism and of antitrust legislation
The ex senator Is a confirmed prac
tical joker and lt was In this way he
once came near making an enemy of
James G Blaine Mr chandler had
been called to the northern -part of
New Hampshire on law business The
night was stormy the village tavern
was lonely and the active mind of Mr
Chandler groped around for some form
of amusement Finding nothing better
to do he prepared a practical joke for
Mr Blaine In a letter to his wife he
discussed with great freedom Mr
Blaines political position and policy
his treatment of certain Republicans
and attitude on the federal appoint
ments in New York and expressed his
regret that a man of Mr Blaines
strong character and great intellect
should allow himself to be dominated
by a woman like Gall Hamilton in
whose judgment Mr Chandler said he
had no confidence Adding a few words
about family affairs Mr Chandler
signed the letter Your Affectionate
Husband and put It in an envelope
which he addressed to James G
Blaine Secretary of State Washing
ton D C Personal
Of course his idea was to make Mr
Blaine think he had sent him the
wrong letter and he expected Mr
Blaine to read lt and forward it to
Mrs Chandler But the contrary was
the case Mr Blaine evidently per
ceived Mr Chandlers purpose for he
did not forward the letter to Mrs
Chandler nor did he communicate
with Mr Chandler in any way for
months His conduct gave Mr Chand
ler much concern and as Mr Blaines
behavior continued to be cool and dis
tant he decided to have it out with
him Mr Blaine expressed very freely
his opinion of that kind of jokes and
never liked Mr Chandler so well again

Wltte then finance minister produced
documents to prove that conditions
were as represented
When the czar confronted Goremykin
with this he is said to have fallen to
his knees wept and begged forgive
ness being so overcome the czar him
self got him a glass of water Later
Goremykin joined the Von Plehve cab

MANHATTAN STREETS
Tli Have XmuvM With Ileunon and
Nnincs AVI tli out IIoimoii
Manhattan Island has displayed very
little system in naming its streets
They have names with reason and
without reason and In most cases
where there have been reasons the
march of improvement and lapse of
memory have nearly buried them out
of sight
Great Broadway the largest com
mercial thoroughfare in the Avorld has
a good reason for its name though the
city now has broader ways but in the
early days of New Amsterdam it was
the broadest of them all and the most
important leading as it did through
the length of the Island and into the
far country of the north Then Broad
street was quite properly so called for
It is broader than Broadway though
quite insignificant in length being
formed somewhat like the Dutchman
who laid it out
You may well wonder why Beaver
street is so called for there is no evi
dence of the beaver there as there was
when it was named It was once only
a beaver path leading to a swamp now
covered by Exchange place And Ex
change place suggests its baptism for
on the bank of that swamp the early
settlers met for barter and afterward
on that site were erected houses for
exchange and sale which have been
continued to this day
So lt is with Wall street a little far
ther north The wall erected for pro
tection in 1G53 by the Dutch who fear
ed a foray of New Englanders long
ago disappeared but the name remains
not only to designate the street but to
describe matters financial
Again farther north we find no rea
son for Maiden lane The maidens who
made the path on their journey back
and forth with laundry from the
stream that llowed where Gold street
now Is have long ago been forgotten
but their memories have been preserv
ed in the name of the street And Gold
street There never was gold there
but the street did run along the foot of
an elevation known as Golden hill
because of the profusion of yellow wild
flowers that crowned lt In the spring
Then there is Bowling Green There
is nothing present to suggest the name
but there was a little more than 200
years ago when Hans and Fritz played
bowls there and called lt Bowling
Green Close by Is Battery place
with no indication of a battery or thlr
ty two pounders excepting the open
ings yet remaining In the Aquarium
Go on up to Canal street and you will
find no canal other than a huge sewer
under the street paving that marks
where once was a canal that drained
Collect pond on the site of the Tombs
through a treacherous swamp into the
North river
There was a bit of poetry and senti
ment in the old names and their asso
ciations Soon these were mostly drop
ped a little sentiment being preserved
in streets named after individuals sug
gested by Hudson Astor Roosevelt
Clark Franklin Fulton Clinton Coop
er and so on Though Moore might
he mistaken for a persons name it
was originally Moor then a mooring
place
Then came the entirely prosaic age
when streets were numbered and let
tered beginning in an arbitrary fash
ion First street is not first any place
excepting the first north of Houston
street being a mile and a half from the
Battery where it might have been

AilvnjitnKCs of Short Siprlit
An Austrian scientist is inclined to
think that short sightedness is not an
unmixed evil He doubts if school
work causes it With the aid of a large
staff of enthusiastic medical helpers
the eyes of more than 15000 school
children were examined and a great
mass of information was collected and
studied The professor finds that
among the most extreme cases of short
sight hand workers greatly outnumber
the eye workers The majority of these
cases declared that their defective
sight had existed from birth or as long
as could remember He declares
that his investigations prove that
school work never produces extreme
short sightedness but only a slight
myopia which far from being a dis
advantage may even be regarded as a
benefit For he says persons with nor
mal sight although they can see dis
tant objects quite clearly cannot read
or write without the aid of glasses
when they reach the age of fifty
whereas the slightly short sighted In
dividual can always read and write
quite comfortably and requires glasses
only for distant objects a much hap

Corfus History
Corfu Is one of those Greek islands
which like the Isle of Man has fre
quently been bought and sold For 30
000 ducats the Venetians once secured
it and with a lleet of galleys and a
strong garrison held it for many years
against all comers Chief of the Ionian
islands Corfus vicissitudes may be
said to have ended when on the acces
sion of King George of Greece Eng
land which had held sway from 1S15
to 1SG3 handed over the Seven Is
land state to that monarchs keeping
To the head of the first naval power in
the world the waters of Corfu have a
unique interest for lt was here that thv
first recorded sea fight took place in
B C GG5 between the Corinthians and
the islanders Of course victory fell to
the islanders then as now They were
a crafty people and when the Persian
wars were in full swing cautiously
waited to see how the oriental cat
would jump They jumped with the
victor The people of the town of Corfu
are practically bilingual for Italian has
almost as firm a hold as Greek but
they love the Greek church better tbar
the Roman
