Markets That Are Waiting. "As one passes scores of villages, many of themyamid the picturesque ruins of once great cities, which could rise again to life under proper condi tions, he is impressed with the fact that here Is a virgin market for al most everything. It Is true that the scale of living is low some of the villagers are still living in tbe numer ous cliff dwellings of prehistoric man" yet the appetite for foreign fashions is as strong as that for strong drink, and, like, the latter, grows by what it feeds upon. The house, even If it is but a cave, needs lamps and lamp chimneys that will not break, easily. Tbe man needs tools, and especially farming implements, and he and his wfhole family need various kinds of cheap cloths to be made up into cloth ing. p.» Tbe vail of Dlarbekir, In a long and earnest'talk with me, made a really eloquent plea for better roads and electric and steam railways.

"People talk to ma about the need for educa tion, and for modern improvements' in all lines—everybody seems interested In these things—but I always say, Let us have transportation for 'our prod ucts first. We can grow unlimited quantities of grain here, but we have no market for it. What is the use of a modern plow when the old way pre pares the ground for more grain than you can use? All the improvements for which our people are eager will come with railways. Then followed the plea which I have heard so often, for American engineers, American cap ital and American enterprise.

The persistence of ancient usages Is shown by the fact that'.I am at this moment traveling in a- kelek, or raft' made of inflated'goat skins, on which' Is fastened, a crude .platform of light poles tieii together. The Inscriptions show that this identical'method of travel, down the Tigris was employed 7,000 years ago. It seems to have con tinued uninterruptedly since that. time.

Certainly they convey a powerful message to America. "Lost Tribes" of Israel Here. This trip by kelfek down the Tigris is of absorbing interest to the his torian, the archaeologist, the ethnolo gist, the geologist, the ornitholo gist—all of which is to say, that there Is something for every body in this unrolling panorama of life. Yonder snow-capped moun tain, "Jetil Judi," is believed by the natives to be the one on which Noah's ark landed. Here in these villages one finds com munities of poverty-stricken Jews. I started to gather estimates concern ing their number, but after the total had reached many thousands, scat tered all over, the territory, that used to be Assyria, with Dlarbekir and Mosul as principal points, I gave up the attempt. The conclusion is ines capable, and it is held by everybody hereabouts' who is Interested in the Bible, that these are the mysterious "Lost Ten Tribes" of Israel, over whom so much controversy has raged centuries, and about whom books still being written. The explanation of the matter is perfectly simple. The tribes were never .lost After being carried Into Assyria- as captives, and dropping out of the Old Testament record, they all, or a great part of them, simply, re mained here. With that phenomenal persistence to type which has ever characterized the Jews, they hare kept their identity. They have their synagogues—the 'captivity evidently rured them of their prOneness to idol atry—and' they remain- a peculiar peo- ,v»v xr wmm0 Village Along pie. They are very poor for the most part, and their quarter of each com munity is' about the 'most miserable. All accounts agree that they have been hereabouts from time imme morial. Before It attempts to- colonize Mesopotamia with 'Jews the Zionist movement might well look into the lot of these poor brethren, with such a tragic history, who are already on the ipot Another--peculiar people whom one meets:along-.the river, and, like the Jews, an Interesting survival, are the Yezidls, or devil-worshipers. These people seem, to have a religion that continues a mixture of the old heathen cults. They will fight anybody, who says hard things about tbe devil—and I suppose Christian charity should re joice that the Old Boy has somebody to stand up for him amid all the ad verse criticism which be must en dure. The Kurd and His Trousers. When Xenophon came through this region! he had trouble with the Car duchl mountaineers and the Turkish goyernment has h^d no end of difficul ty with the same virile stock, who are now known as .Kurds.' They are the fellows whose penchant for massacre ing Armenians has made the name Kurd' known to the modern world. Abdul Hamid could always count on them for bis bloodiest wprk. Simple in mind, ox-like in body, the burden carriers of all Turkey, the Kurd1 yet has the primitive virtues. He values life lightly, and has scant respect for property rights, yet he la brave, hos pitable and loyal. Russia hopes to draw the mountains of Kurdistan as part of her share when this queer con glomerate of a nation gbes to pieces. To an unusual degree, the Kurd pos sesses the Ottoman's love of firearms. Nobody is so poor as not to possess at least a dagger, and every man's ambi tion is to own a rifle. The antiquated flint-locks, with long barrels and small stocks, which are still in use here, .would s^ock hundreds of mu seums. At a wedding, or any other time of jubilation, th^ men express their spirits by firing off as many ball cartridges as they can afford. I have seen a photograph of a Kurdish bride and groom taken with one holding a pistol and the other a dagger. No swell would think of having his pho tograph taken without his arsenal showing. Yet this fierce Kurd may be seen sitting in the sun along the public highways knitting socks while women are breaking stones In the road. There is an untllled field for the suffragist in Asia. The socks that the men knit and wear, are one of the unique things of this part of the world. The endeav or Is to crowd as many conflicting col ors as possible into tbe smallest space. The loudest pattern on Broad way would be a Quaker gray along side of them. The socks go well with the trousers. No somber blacks for your Kurd. He the lady, she bronght a letter to me to read it to her. It contained an offer In marriage. I happened to know that the writer was a deserving young artisan, so I said to Ijer, "Now, you must consider this matter very seriously, and If you like to come tjo me when you have made up your olnd, I will write a re ply for yon." A day or twi afterward I met tbe 'J w,ears wide-flowing trousers, drawn In and embroidered at .the ends,: with a stripe of embroidery down the side. The color scheme of the background may be anything from a red or a green to a delicate lavender, such as I saw yesterday. Patches are so fash ionable that all the colors are likely to be superimposed before the life of the garment Is ended. It is fashion able .to have wide stripes,- about two inches wide, run down the legs, half a dozen stripes to, a leg. On his shoulders the Kurd wears a sort of .Eton jacket, much abbreviated, with the long hair of the black goat on the outside. His turban is the biggest and bulgiest worn in this' land of strange headgears. Yet none of them seem quite so strange as the hat I saw a man remove his yards of turban, with the fez that was beneath It, and put on the derby hat of a returned emi grant The sight was greeted with gales of laughter by all his friends standing near. The Awakening Is Coming. Unless I am greatly mistaken hats will become as', common here as In Japan. Everybody seems to hanker, openly or secretly, after the western ways, noticed a long procession of schoolboys In the streets of Diarbe kir, and every one was dressed In European clothes, save only -the hat. This outwardly symbolized what their schoolbooks more truly represented, the change in ideals that modern edu cation is producing, even in this out of-the-way corner of the world. The governor himself asked me about an American college to which he could send his son. The presence, of' an American doe tor in iiarbeklr Illustrates how pne well-furnished modern man affects a community.' Dr. Edwin St. John Ward, the only missionary here, except his or vg ill W the Tigris' Rlver^ wife and baby and trained nurse, has in three years, made a place for him self that has toned up all this native doctors. But be has been called to the Important chair of surgery in the Syrian Protestant college, Beirut, and after a few months there will be neither missionary nor representative of America in this picturesque old walled town. But the American spirit is here to stay. (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowles.) V. Water Necessary for Crops.

Is Easy Money. Suing the city seems to be a profit able business for lawyers and clients in Chicago as in New. York. Address ing the Fire Insurance Club of Chlo ago recently, Henry B. Bale, a lawyer, said that the city paid out each year nearly $1,000,000 in judgments for personal injuries. "Since 1899," "Mr. Bale declared, "Chicago has paid M, 000,000 In judgments returned in sluts to recover for sidewalk accidents alone.

M.—George W. Kuss of Kansas City, Mo., who haB a herd of about 100 elk In the-Ozark moun tains, declares that in many parts ot the United iStates elk meat can be produced at less cost per pound than beef, mutton or pork. These animals afford a much greater, proportion of dressed meat than cattle do. When It comes to clearing out un derbrush .they are- more useful than goats. .They brouse as low as the goats, and also twice as high. He ad vises using both varieties of animals, however, and 6ays that one elk and two goats to five acres will eliminate the brush and weeds. What is more, brush thus cleared stays cleared. It is asserted that for other reasons no better arrangement can be made than to graze a few elk with sheep and goats. The elx is the natural enemy of dogs and wolves. Mr. Kuss says he suffered great depredations on his flocks until he put a few elk, with them. Since then there bas been no loss from that cause. A few elk in a ten-acre pasture will absolutely protect the flocks therein. Even the dogs belonging in the place could not be induced to enter a pasture contain ing elk. The cost of stocking an elk pre serve is not great, says Fur News. Young elk in perfect condition may be bought for $100 per bead orftless. A few years ago Mr. Wilson of Lewis burg, O., paid 9165 for three bead. A Michigan. breeder recently offered a dozen head, all fine specimens, but age and sex not given, for )500. This Is, of course, a low price, not more than cattle would bring, and less' than tbe venison would be wortb if they could be sold In that form. The price of such stock is determined by tbe supply and demand, and as long as tbe present restrictions on the sale of deer and elk are maintained, low prices are likely to prevail. Live elk sold at forced sale have 5,000 HORNETS HIS FRIENDS r:— 1 ,*4 W I 1:" New Strange Charm Possessed by Jersey Civil War Veteran Over Swarm of Black Inaects. Spring Lake, N. J.—John M. Wood, veteran of the Civil war, hero of Get tysburg and pioneer of Spring Lake has so.completely won the confidence of a swarm of S,000 black hornets that they make an advance guard for him whenever he goes walking and buss about bis cosy bungalow a veri table army of defence against unwel come Intruders. Wood made tbe acquaintance of his dangerous friends several days ago. Perhaps It was his courage that com manded their respect During a *torm last week a blind on a nearby cottage became unfastened. Wood climbed a ladder to nail it fast A few well directed blows with a heavy hammer and the veteran was con scious of a buzzing sound which car ried with it a world of meaning. A black stream of sky-cleavers was emerging from a long crack in the boarding of the house. Wood dis mounted tbe ladder cautiously, rung by rung, until be once more stood on terra firma. About him swarmed the hornets, never ceasing their weird bumming. They lit on his shoulders they ca ressed his cheeks they sang reassur ing melodies about his ears, but not one of them stung him. What charm he may possess for the strange in sects be is at a loss to understand, but he says be Is the only person in America who can lay claim to the friendship of 6,000 black hornets.

The de-. mand Tor breeding stock-: would grow and inorease the. 'cost of starting, as well, as the returns -from the busi ness. The natural food supply is an im portant consideration In choosing a range for the elk. While elk have done well in bluegrass pasture and on the pralrje grasses alone they do far better oh preserves-which have a variety of foodr—grasses, bushes and trees. Rough lands. well watered by streams and baying a considerable proportion of forested area are' best adapted to their wfints. On an average, such lands will sup port about the same number of elk as of cattle on 'the same area, with out impairing the range. There should be thickets for the animals and a supply of winter foliage of other kinds -will prevent the too rapid destruction of shrubbery in thickets. Except in times of snow, elk will keep in excellent condition on or dinary grass "pasture, but a system or management which regularly rur riiBhes other food to the animals wlli be found better. For winter, hay and corn fodder furnish excellent forage, but alfalfa has proved to.be the most satisfactory dry food that can be given to 'either elk or deer. A little oats or corn, whole or. chop ped, may be fed each day. Elk are fond of corn, and: feeding corn and salt affords the best opportunities for winning the confidence of the animals and taming them. Salt should be furnished liberally to all deer kept In lnclosures. Running water, although hot essential. Is of great Importance In maintaining elk In good condition. Elk are not nervous like the com mon deer and seldom jump an or dinary fence. A fence five feet In height Is usually sufficient to confine elk, aid Henry Binning of Cora, \yyo., thinks a four-foot woven-wlre fence is ample. When they escape from an lnclosure in which they have been fed they uaually return of their own ac cord. Some herds may be driven like ordinary cattle. A small lnclosure for a vicious bull elk should have a strong fence seven or eight feet high. Decision Handed Down by Justice Ford In New Vortc 8upreme Court Finds-No Favor. Cleveland. Ohio.—'The decision, of Justice John Pord, in a. supreme court divorce case in New York city. In. which he. advanced the opinion that' any woman wanting a divorce should be given It by ber husband, finds no favor with the Judges of Cleveland courts. Instead of accepting Justice Ford's opinion as advancing the divorce problem, the judicial opinion here is that it amounts to a' harmful doc trine, dangerous to the country's home life and approaching an advo cacy of "free love." -"''V' "If a woman wants-a divorce so badly that she will swear falsely against ber husband," said Justice Ford, "it is his place to keep still and iet her go ahead." "Tbe divorce is a problem of law— not one to be lectured on as proper," said Justice Estep. "Such an opin ion as Justice Ford is quoted with is a doctrine close to free love. "Divorce should not be msde an easy matter. Tbere are too many of tbem here and every other' place in the country. In Ohio one of tbe most common causes for divorce* Is gross neglect of duty, a blanket charge th%t makes divorce easy.

FREE LOVE SEEN IN DECREE CLOCK RUNS THOUSAND YEARS Inventor Asserts Mechanism Stores Energy Enough From Changes In Temperature—I ePatented. New York.—A clock which '3' It: is claimed, will run for a thousand years upon energy®stored up from changes in temperr.ture has been Invented by Frledricn Bangeter, who bas it on ex hibition at his laboratory. No. 29 Rolf street, Staten Island. A patent has just been granted for this device, which is one of 50 Inventions to the -credit ot Bangeter, who won gold medals at tbe world's expositions in Pari? in 1900 and in Belgium In 1905. The secret of the clock's energy is. the reduction to a minimum of fric tion in its running parts and the use of metals susceptible to. heat and cold, which, by their, contraction and expan sion, the Inventor asserts, keeps the wheels turning through a device which releases metal balls in a wheel. Bangeter claims he has coupled In a practical way the wellTknown laws —of contraction and expansion, and of gravity, in order to show the prac ticability of his clock, he, stopped it. Then, by opening the door of the lab oratory,' so as to cause a change of temperature, the mechanism started, and he asserted that unless interrupt ed It would continue for a.throuBand years.

"To spread a loose doctrine in connection with divorce cases strikes at the heart of the home, and it's dangerous." "Speaking 'from a personal stand point, I think Justice Ford Is right," said Judge Martin A. Foran.

A salad nowadays is very frequently eaten at the'beginning of dinner and voted a digestive second to none. Of all fruits pineapple is of tbe greatest value to the dyspeptic and contains the most'delicate acid. The following recipe for a pineapple salad will be found an excellent one, and It Is, moreover, a very pretty dish to serve., at the beginning of luncheon or dinner: ,', Pineapple in Lettuce Nests—Cut a pineapple into small pieces. Add one cupful of fln,ely chopped celery,» one cupful of walnut meats and one cup ful of orange pulp. Shred one head of lettuce very finely and form into nests on individual plates.. Mix one cupful of maypnnaise and stir it lightly with the pineapple, etc. add more mayonnaise if the fruit is not sufficiently rmoist, and heap-into the little lettuce nests. Decorate with chopped walnuts. Salade .a 1 La Versailles—Boll ,^ix artichokes, separate the "fonds" from the leaves and cut Into small pieces. Put In a salad bowl with an equal quantity of asparagus points that have been cooked in salted water. Take a handful of salted almonds, chop them fine, pound thenb with the juice of two lemons and half a pint of cream, salt and pepper, and pour over the salad. A little mayonnaise may be added to the salad, but it is (.more delicate In flavor without It. With cold chicken nothing is mora excellent than a salad of carrots, cu-' cumbers and hard boiled eggs, all cut In rings and sent to table with this dressing: Two tablespoonfuls of olive oil with one of lemon juice, with salt, peppier and si speck of sugar to taste. Mushroom Salad—Remove the skin and-almost all the stalk from some button mushrooms, drop tbem Into boiling salted water and cook for three minutes. Lay them on a napkin and when quite cold sprinkle them with pepper and salt and finely chopped parsley. Lay on a dish and potir over two table spoonfuls of oil to one' of tarragon vinegar., ',/ Shrimp Salad a La Bretagne^—Shell, a quart of boiled shrimps and lay thein on young lettuce leaves, in a salad bowl. Chill some mayonnaise sauce on ice, pour over the shrimps and Tongue Salad—Mix together and put It: a fine dredger a small quantity each of celery, salt, red pepper and black pepper, white sugar and all spice. Take some thin slices of Rus sian tongue, squeeze a little lemon juice over the pieces and lightly dredge with the above mixture. Shave up some white onions and celery and put them In the salad bowl with a few white lettuce hearts. Add the tongue next, then pour several spoonfuls of oil over the whole with a dash of vinegar. Serve at once.' In the Kitchen. Keep both a high and. a low chair In the kitchen. Use the high chair at the kitchen table, with a footstool to rest the feet on, when preparing vege tables,"etc. The, low chair, which may be made by sawing the legs of a com mon kitchen chair, is useful to sit on while waiting for cake or biscuits to bake.
