TIME FROM OTHER WORK OWclierh Say They Could Sure Many Hours liy Giving Smut Instruction Orally $55,000 Kxpt'iided for Text IlooU-5 lor tin study of Tcuipeniuco lu One Year. New YorkTeleirrnm. Pu perlnt-ndcnt Jasper has received sam pie copies of the books for which thcclty or New York must pay $53,000 tbl3 year in order to teach school children the effects of alcohol. The law, "which was passed last year, re quiring buch Instruction, like that which compels the enumeration of school children every second jear, carries with It the pen alty of forfeiture of the Stateapproprlation for schools If It Is not enforced. This ap propriation amounts to $700,000 a year, about one-third of the State fund, although It supplies more than that amount by tax. The law provides that the iiatuie of alco holic drink and their effects on the human system shall be taught for not less than four lessons per week for tin or more weeks in the year In all grades below the second ear of the high school. Also "that all pupils who can read shall study this subject from (suitable text books." The series or text books offered for the teaching of this special subject comprises five books "Health for Little Folks," "Lessons InlIgiene,""A Primer of Health," "A Healthy Body," and "How to Keep Well." In compliance with the law, not less than one-fifth of each is devoted to the teaching or the effects of alcohol and other narcotics. In the primer the first lesion Is headed with a sllllllfeobject lesson, in which pears, cherries, bananas and oranges Tire made to "adorn a tale," which says that "a harm ful drink called wine is made from grapes." The process of wine making is explained, including the stage where "the gas passes into the air, but the poison remains in the" wlneand makes the winepoison. The name of this poison Is alcohol. No one should drink wine, for there Is alcohol in it. Al cohol may make a father cruel to Ills chil dren. It sometimes makes a man tellfalsc hoods and do other bid deeds." The next .chapter sets forth in letters and language which the smallest child can comprenend that "cider is not as saredrlnfc, because It contains alcohol." and the next icsson Impresses upon the young Idea that "no one should ever drink beer, for it is poisoned with alcohol." "Ueer drinking," it says, too, "spoils a boy'schancesof beinga strong, wlseor good man. The alcohol In the beer dulls his mind. lie cannot learn his lessons as well; he cannot even play as well, because he Is not as strong as he would be with out the beer." "We should not drink home made beer, for it contains alcohol." Is strongly empha sized In-bold faced type. The child who lias reached the second grade has Its marring effect upon beauty explained tohim. "Did you ever see a man who bad used a great deal of strong drink for a number of years?" Is asked. "If so, you have noticed that he has red ejes, red cheeks and a red nose." The next book of the series tells him that "the narcotic power of alcohol, even in cider is capable of 60 deadening right feelings and taking away the sense that cider drink ers are likely to be cross and ugly tempered. Cider in any quantity Is a dangerous drink and should not be drunk. As alcohol Is a poison, it makes elder a poisonous drink. "It was once thought that if people would use Might wines' that Is, wines like claret. which contains only a email quantity of alcohol they would not want the stronger liquors, and there wouldbelcss intemperance. BJt that docs not prove to be true." Another lesson teaches that "beer, like other alcoholic liquors, tends to debase the morals and make the drinker brutal." In tlie higher grades, where children are able to look nt the" question better from a psychic standpoint, one lesson is devoted to "Beer Drinking from n Moral Point of View," in which It is asserted that: "Facts gained from wide observation show that beer, more than any other liquor, tends to make the drinker brutal. Itseems to deaden conscience, and blunt the finer enslbilltles, and thus prepare a man for committing crime. True to Its nature, the alcohol In the beer makes the drinker crave more beer to get more alcohol. In Cicrmany.Belgiumandothercounlries where beer Is almost a universal beverage, drunk enness is becoming more and more a curse to tbe land." But wine is also a menace. "In Tcrsla, France, Switzerland, California, and ether countries, where wine is made," the next says, "drunkenness Is a great scourge." For these older children, too, a chapter Is devoted to "The Evils ot Cider Drinking." "The greatest difficulty presents ltwlf," Souerlntcndenl Jasper said, "is teaching a MEN'S SLIPPERS FROM 8r up to $2.50. Batter boy who has breakfasted on bread and beer that beer drinking make a man hrjtal and immoral, then sending him home to nee beer on the table Tor blsfather's luncheon. :"I have found that schoolmen generally believe," said Commissioner Ilubbeil T3tcr- day, "that principles of behavior :2unot be taught by rota. The Idea of thoe who ha e thojght of tbe subject is tint good manners and correct habits of life can better be In culcated by force of eauip'e than In any other 'Tray." "Tho Iward of estimate and apportion ment, has referred the matter of appropria tion to the city council to see It it can be forced to set aside the money." The board of education is opposed to it. A resolution war) passed on June C of this year expressing its disapproval of the bill and requesting the governor not to sign it. At the last meeting of the board bnpt. Jasper was instructed to meet the board or estimate and apportionment and explain the detail or the law which necessitated the request for tin extra appropriation of or?55,000. It was explained that unless the city undertook tlie raising ot this money, by special tax for books, the $700,000 set as,de for the maintenance of the scnoou would be withdrawn. The teachers and principals object to the enforced teaching or Jhls branch, on the grounu mat It win lessen ine nine 10 tie devoted to instruction lu fundamental studies. "We have loo little time aow," said Mrs. Xora Lenlban, principal of theprimarv school at Fifty-eighth street and Third nvenue, "to teach the thing1 which must lay the foundation of a cLl.d'8 education. I have been used for several years to giving my pupils Lealth talks' two or three times a week, after the opening exeiclaesin the assembly room. In these the Injurious ef Jects of narcotics and tobacco are dwelt upon suificienily to impress the child with their meaning. "It 1 a terrible tax, loo, to be required to put readers into their hands. Why, we have do less than threesupplemenlary read ers. In some or the lower graces teachers prefer to gie their instructions orally, as more effects e, bat this law compels us to burden the babies with this book as soon as they know how to read,-even though other instruction is given orally. I am heartily in favor of mure time for giving the fundamental studies to a child, who lias all too little time, at best, for an educa tion." Miss CurtU, another primary principal, said: "I .believe that such Instruction should In sheii entirely from the platform. I have always done so, and think it gives as much information as can be given, while It spares the children from overcrowding in the dally recitations. I think such talks two or three times a week enough." Jjrnorunci1 of llticliclor. Bachelors who have lived alone or at hotels and clubs acejulre strange Ignorance about children. One of. these was telling a frieud how his little nephew enjoyed "ihe Jungle Book." "How old is he?" was asked. "Oh, I don't know, ecveii or eight. Maybe ten." "Then he can read the stories him self?" "Let nit 6ee. No, l.e can't. He's too young. He l'ns the book read to him." "Then he must be less than ten years old." The uncle was puzzled. That's so," he said, reflectively. "My brother hasn't been married nearly so long as that. I don't believe It's more than six years. No, the boy can't be over four or five. I think he's Just four." "Can't you tell his age by looking at him?" asked the friend. "Why, no," answered the uncle, hope lessly. "All children look the same age to me, except Infants and those that arc about ready for college." It was another bachelor who was visit ing friends when a caller came with his young son. The boy was four or flic years old, and a manly little chap. The bachelor was attracted by Ills appearance, and. patting his cheek, said to the father: "He's a sturdy boy, Isn't be? He'll bo ready to go out and play ball In u few years." "I can play ball, already," spoke up the child, proudly. "Why, he can talk, can't hel" exclaimed the astonished bachelor. "I didn't know children could talk at li!s r.ge." The company would have doubted the sincerity of ills ignorance had he not been loo evidently In earnest. New Tory Tri bune. Why H" Forirot.

(Copyright 1893 by Ryman Interview Syn dicate.) While people are conjecturing thing? nbout Abdul Hamed, Eultan of Turkey, and giving opinions regarding his majesty's integrity and uprightness, the only person .. Z-l "If I-TVero TerreHI'd Carve mm TJp as I Carvo My New Year Turkey." (Interview with Henry Clews.) who conld throw real light upon the sub ject is In New York City, living quietly and, keeping enti.ay out ot public gaze. This is Mrs. Alexander Terrell, wire of Minister TTrcll, of Turkey, and a recent returner from the Orient. Mrs. Terrell is n small, very gentle wo man of much Intellectuality so much that people wonder what Minister Terrell docs without her, and as for being posted upon Turkish matters she is absolutely 5 "81.0" Year's? .tv 'm -'r f i" --?-t- !r- Inrormed upon them. If stir would talk, much would be known that Is'how dark. A rriend of Mrs. Terrell approached her the other day to ask her what one new tiling she thought would be rilost desirable for tlie sultan to do, what' new leaf he should turn over for the'new jear. But Mrs. Terrell returned a shhkfof the head. Upon being further pressed, she referred her caller to F. Hopklnson Bmlth, author and artist, who was for1 a' long time u member ot the A mcrlcan coloifiy in Cdnstari tinople, and who Is Mrs. Tvircll's guar dian, as it were, in America. HOrKINSOX SMITH'B VIEWS.- ' "It Mrs. Terrell were a'dlfferent sort of woman," said Mr. Smith, "I would use my Influence with her to make her talk. Hut she Isn't. I have Justfcoilio back Irom Washington, whither I wentlipon a matter closely allied to this, tnd during my absence there have been repelited calls at my hojso ror Mrs. Terrell, "but my wire and I will not tell where she is. "The Tact Is, she is- In n ptlvnte hospital, at the bedsldo ot a sick daughter, and it agitates her to know that Turkey and Mr. Terrell are the subjects ot criticism. It makes her sick that there should be agitation uiwn n, matter in which the principals are blameless. In fact, ray ac quaintance1 with her began thiougu.n. letter thai I wrote to a New York paper defend In? her husband's policy in Turkey, a policy wn Ich I, being for a long time a member of the colony there, know to be perfect. I could say a great deal about this, but I will not. "About the sultan's new leaf. Now you are getting down to pathos. I do not personally tblnktbatAbdulHamedtsinneed of a, new leaf. He Is very nearly perfect as a 'monarch. I know him well and I know.wbat I,nm.salmr. "Bat' If I were compenecTto''"usgesr'ft new leaf? Then I would suggest,lt later lit the season. Tbtsls not thctlino hi Turkey for.a new leaf. The Turkish new year, the great feast ot tbe year, comes later than this. Each Turk turns over a new leaf then. And what should be Abdul Hamcd's new leaf? I don't knowr but If I were ho I should find a way to silence tbe rumors about me and to come In closer relations with so good a'man ns" Minister Terrell. That's about all I can say. But It Mrs. Terrell wants to write nnd free her mlcd upon the subject or the Armenian question she "could make the matter clearer in the tuiuus ui our statesmen man it now is." henry; clewb a cannibal. nenry Clews, bankerand general confidant or the arralrs of nations, sniffed the air contemptuously when asked about bis New Year's advice for the Sultan of Turkey. "If I were Abdul Hamed," said Mr. Clews. i'l would allow raj self to be carved up like u New Year's turkey. That Is the gift I would glvcfor tho good or humanity, and tho sooner I could ghe it the better, ir this ad vice reaches Mr. Hamed before New Year's day I hope he will act upon It to ttieextcnt of appointing the royal carver. "But this Is a new year leaf In extremis. It Is like telling a mortal man to become n saint straightway. You know lie will not dolt. Bo I ha vea second newlcat ror Abdul Hamed. If I were he I would gather luixelt together to make all tbe nations ot the world a New Year present. I would ghe them my nation. I would say to England: 'Here Is n slice. Take that part which will lie! supply your markets.' "To America I would say: 'Here, take my commercial products, my wines, my tobacco, my storage ftiods, everything that will bear long transportation; nnd to the rest or the world I nould socially donate the different parts, where my fine manu facturing work was bclrg "carried on, my rugsnd ceramics. "Having been thus generous, I would say: 'Gentlemen, turn about is fair play. I want you to jiension me. Give me my lltle.'hiy harem, my living in all perpetuity, and make my race as royal as the fallen royall v of France and as highly respected.' "Falling to convince Abdul Hamed of the desirability ot doing this thing, I would urge this ixillcy or division upon the nations or the world. This Is MlnMer Terrell's Uuty, and while he delays be Is open to criticism, ir I were he, sooner than allow the sultan to slaughter the white people. Christians, and even countrymen or mine. I would slaughter him up as I cut up my New Year's turkey." LEA UN OF PUTT. T. C. Piatt smiled very broadly when he was asked what he would advise the sultan to turn over In the way of a new leaf. "Do you suppose he Is going to ast my advice?" snapped he. "Do you suppose that heath I mean that fellow Isgohig to ask me what lie better do In the matter ot reform this je-ar to make his nation more pe-acerul? Never. No moie than I am going to ask Mm." Here thesmlledled away upon Mr.PlalfK race and he wore his "goose" look. This It the expression his race takes when he has made up his mind to squelch somelxxly to cook their political goose, so to speak. Standing near T. C. Piatt was a rriend or hl a statesman and an admirer or Piatt. "Don't mention my name," said he, "or Piatt would kill me. But you can say for me that I would advle the sultan to take lessons In bosshm of T. C. Piatt and try tobuassucccssnilabossashc. That would ba my advice to any man trying to govern a kingdom. 'Study Piatt's methods as lioss.' If you master them you're all right. Think or that when you're writing to Hamed-" S. V. WHITE'S LEDGER. S. V. White, whoie reputation as Dea con ot Wall street and the man ot pe-ace prepared ror things paciric. is languish ing for a certain Job. It is that or adviser to Abdul Hamed. "I am not in Lis con fldence.'i says Mr. White, "but I wish I was. I'd like to be his paid adviser for an hour. He'd pension me afterward to bold my tongue. "What wuulu I ndvlse? I wouldn't say a word Tor ten minutes. I'd fix him w tth a look. Then I'd call a slave and send him out for a big new ledger, the biggest and whitest he could find. If he brought back a little one I'd order him killed. "When I'd got a ledger big enough and clean cnougn ra open it before Abdul dlsmctt ami "spread out Its white pages In front of him. 'Look at that.' I'll say, 'and "ec'ir you can see how clean It Is. Now. you, keep that ledger as white as It now Is Let your records be on the side of peaccand profit. Let never n blood stain enter there. It has no right on the record of one- of the greatest nations of the world. "Do you hear me, Abdul Hamed? Let that clean white ledger be your new Iear. and you keep It so. Sabe? "Do I think Abdul Hamed will engage me? Oh, no. Kings make a business of getting only agreeable counsellors." Di O. Mills' tranquil mind was filled with wonder upon ILe iery question of Turley at the minute It was propounded to him. "I am amazcel." said he, "If the Sultan does not know what new leaf to turn over this new year. He has got with him one of the cleverest diplomats there is Alex ander Terrell. Do I think Terrell ought, to jog His Highncis'a memoryupon certain polirts?r Yes; I do. I think if I were l Terrell I should be guided by my surround ings, and these at this time would certainly show mesomething was wrong. If I were Terrell I should take a hand at turning over thedcaf myeir ir Hamed didn't know enough to do it liimseir." A. II. Hummel, New YorVs"LlttIe North Dakota," rubbed his hands with glee at the idea or having a ?ew Year lear sug gested to the Sultan of Turkey. I would ofrer him the compliments of the season and after I had given him a lot of flattery. I would ask a favor or him. Hewouldsay: "Sjieak and it shall be granted." "Do joti mean it, sire?" I would ask. And he would say, "Yes; to the extent ot my klngdom." "Then step into the witness chair," I would say, "and lake the oath on the beard of your fathers. IIAMID BEFORE HUMMEL. "Then I would say to him, 'Did yon know that the Armenians were to be slaughtered? If he objected to the ques tion, I would insist by Ills word. "Then I would plump other question1! nt hlni. 'Arc you doing all you can to prevent the Armenian atrocities? Are you punish Ing the murderers as fast as you can find them? Have you put up any awful penalty for those who kill Chnlstlans? Are you, Abdul Hamed, trying to preserve the children of Christian nations In peace within your confines?' "All this time my best 'court eye' would be upon him. And it he were guilty he would quail. At the close of the cross questioning I would know the Turkey status as onr diplomats would give worlds now to know it. Then I would thank the sultan and bow myself out." Hall Caine was at the Everett House pack ing his steamer trunk when asked about the sultan. "I know your views," said the interviewer, "and I'm going to say you would like to see Abdul Hamed slaughtered like a big holiday turkey. "Oh, don't say that," begged Mr. Calne. "Don't say that though I think so Just the same. I'm too sick to say exactly what my views on the subject are. They're ex treme, though." There Is a member of the Turkish colony of Constantinople now visiting in Washing ton. This gentleman tells strange, weird tales of Turkey and our minister there. According to him. Minister Terrell has adopted the Turkish dress for everyelay wear, and puts It on for all feasts. He says he knows positively that at our Christ mas and New Year's feasts our ambassa dor appears In the Turkish dress. For a new leaf be would advise the sultan to annex Minister Terrell, nnd the United States to look for a new Turkish minister. But this is the view of an extremist, and It Is interesting only when compared wltb the real Judgment of diplomats who are soggestlng a New Year's new leaf to the ruler of a country that needs reform of some kind.

'O, help us, for Christ's sake! The loss of the mis sionaries here has exceeded 25,000 Turkish pounds (equal to $100,000 American money)." "HadkJn, Turkey,' Nov. 23, 1890. "Commencing from Obruck to Saruz, all the Hadjin Armenians are exterminated! their houses and domestic animals have been taken a way from them; the Armenians in Shar Valley were attacked and plun dered, and most of them put to tbe sword. Every Ullage Js destroyed. Everywhere governmental Instructions arc given to Moslems secretly to kill and exterminate the Armenians. "There Is no doubt that unless there should be an efrectlve and Immediate Inter ference from Christian powers, Christian Armenians will not lie founel, as every one of Ihem will be a victim to the sword of the fanatical followers of Mohamed. "In Marash, the first two martyrs were the two most Godly, and in every way promi nent men. Tl.c massacre In Marash was terrible.

They do not copy these styles literally, which would give the reunions too much ot an air of being costume lulls, but they suggest them In detail. Thus when the bodice Is draped with a fichu this makes a Marie Antoinette gown, and when there Is a eciuare decollete with revers running from the top of the shoulder to the roint of the waist, with the skirt full at top and gathered on tho hlp, this Is a pompadour gown. In both these old styles the sleeve was dose at the top and widened at the elbow, where it ended with a ruffle; but the sleeve actually being worn is ror dinner gowns draped to the elbow and caught into a band with a fall of lade, and for ball gowns shorter and formed equally of draplngs, of overlapping ruffles, puffs, lace and bows. The skirt or some gowns opens In rront over a petticoat lu Hie? pompadour manner, and this Is particularly to be remarked ot dinner gowns. In this case there is rulncss at the top, arranged in gathers over the hips, but the front breadth Is flat. In the old style the petti coat was sometimes of contrasting ma terial, but at present such contrast looks a little extreme. Flowered silks and satins aro being very much used Tor these gowns, as are also plain satins. Velvet plain and flow ered Is umhI Tor dinner gowns. The trim mings are lace, artificial flowers and ribbon bows. Whole cascades ot bows cover the chemisette front, after the pompadour manner, and these bows af ford centers for placing Jewels. The skirts are short and very wide. Among the dinner gowns the follow ing are good suggestive models: One of violet faille has the skirt faced ten inches deep with violet pluh and this facing is covered with parallel rovs of narrow gold braid that sink part way into the plush with very rich effect. The bodice slightly pointed In front is open from the point up to the shoulders, with straight revers, over the chemisette of the plush, the whole forming a square decollete. The plush revers are crossed their whole length wltb lines of gold braid; ribbon bows are no the chemisette and a large bow Is at the back of the neck draping tbe shoulders from arm bole to armholc. Violet Is being much worn. A black faille bas tbe front of the skirt embroidered down each side with a garland in relief of flowers made of black moussellne de sole crusted with Jet, end ing with a bow at the foot. The bodice is a square half-low decollete with revers embroidered like the skirt. The sleeves are of moussellne de sole, very much draped. The gauze embroidered may be replaced by Jet or Jetted lace. A velvet of black ground flowered with rosebud has tbe skirt very full and open over a petticoat of the same gathered on the hips, and tbe bodice a square decollete with sleeves fitted close to the arm ami ending at the elbow with two doubled ruffles, the upper one standing out In a wide puff. A garniture runs around the neck and down each side of the front- The following ball gown3 are equally correct models: The first is of del blue silk in a broche stripe flowered with rose. The skirt has the front breadth draped with blue moussellne de sole, caught here and there with pink flowers. The pointed bodice has a low round decollete drnped with a fichu or the moussellne knotted on the front with a bunch of pink flow ers. Draped sleeves of the silk anil mous sellne. A white broche flowered silk has the skirt trimmed with a lace raffle put on In zigzag Hues and headed with a ruche of the silk. In each angle formed by the zigzag, both above and lielow. Is placed a small rosette formed of the silk. The rnchc Is made by laying a strip of tbe silk in small box-plaits, Hitched down Dear each edge, and the edges are bound with ribbon.
