K.—The captain r: the British ship Howth. from Austr.i lia. reports, according to a Herald dispatch from San Francisco, that Sept. 2.'*. when off Pitcairn island, fire signals were notieoablo. He say he made every effort to take his shij In. but he was baffled in his attempts the severe weather. The captain is of the opinion that the mutineers of the Deiscester Cast!- . whose itoiy was told yesterday in a dispatch to the Associated Pr* s? fnu.i Qiu ! t : vn had nached Pd( aim :s THE TURKISH WOMAN. Her Friday I soursioun on tbe Sweet Water* of Anin. Friday is the only day on which Turkish women enjoy a little liberty and release from the dreadful seclusion '.he*h they are always kept, and the;. .»re nut blow to avail themselves of the chance. On Fridays every one £oes to the Sweet Waters of Asia, which consist of a small river running about tu<> miles inland, with trees and mead< vvs o:i each side. Hundreds of l*oat> aI»|** nod glide up and down the river, livery bout nr caique has two or more Turkish ladies on board. The s i1.t is a very line one, as each private <-ai.ji e is most carefully got up. and the boatmen wear brilliant liv eries ’-i i:is:t< a the cushions and tlie long embroidered eh th which hangs over the stern and trails in the water. The khedivah of Kgypt is one of the finest, in crimson and gold, embroid ered with crowns an 1 fishes. Besides the liverios the parasols make a won derful show, and here may be seen all the latest Parisian creations. The la dies must not speak to men, but the careful observer can frequently catch sight of veils lowered or other signal given when a particular boat Is pass ing, and habitual frequenters can point out boats which are sometimes close to each other. It is a very Innocent di version and would not satisfy western ladles. An hour before sunset the po lice boats appear and force all women to leave.—London Telegraph. Paxil the Tyrant. Paul 1. of Russia was very deaf and also very tyrannical. One day an aid-de-caiup, intending to please him, approached and cried in his ear. “I am glad to see, your majesty, tiaat your hearing is much Improved!” “What is that you say?” growled the czar. Raising his voice, the aid-de-camp said, “I am glad that your majesty’s hearing is so much improved!” “Ah, that’s it, eh:” chuckled the czar, and then added. “Say it once more.” The aid-de-camp repeated the words, whereupon Paul 1. thundered, “So you dare to make fun of me. do you? Just wait awhile.” Next day the aid de-camp was on his way to the mines of Siberia. PURE, PRE-DIGESTED. THOROUGHLY COOKED." SCIENTIFIC AND HYGIENIC.

Scotland boasts of two round towers, said to he stragglers from the great typical group found In Ireland. The one is attached to the handsome cathe dral of Brechin and the other stands in the center of Abernethy, near the en trance gate to the churchyard. The Brechin tower, built in six irregular rourses and rising over 100 feet, is the more perfect of the two. It dates from Kenneth’s reign, 1)71-1*5, and has a most graceful appearance. Pennant in his history speaks of having, in 1772, found handsome bells within its walls. These were afterward removed and now hang in a neighboring steeple. The origin of towers is now somewhat doubt- hut archaeologists are generally d t!..it they were built in connec- wii:» churches “for defense and •s:; of watch” during the i raids. They were afterward •1 fries, the Brechin tower linv- duiy as such for generations, r is now one of the sights of !.t town and is legarded as a of its early c< nectiou with Scottish-American. Tin* ( hniu.ctl Grizzly. There are numerous reliable state ments of grizzly hears having attacked umn. but nowadays the grizzly does not seek out his human vict.ms, as there are credible statements that his fore fathers u.-ed to do. Neither does he lie in wait and, pouncing upon a hunt er, tear him into bloody shreds in de lighted fiendishness, as the old time stories used to tell. The change in the grizzly’s disposition Is likened by vet eran hunters to the change in the char acter of the white cousin of the grizzly, the polar hear of the aictlcs. Wien the stations for the Hudson Bay com pany were established, the diaries of the men there often referred to tho fright of attacks by polar hears. Many a navigator in the arctic seas has been clawed and chewed to death by polar hears. But for nearly a century the polar bear has not been regarded as so very fierce, and nowadays it is looked upon as a cowardly beast. Association with armed men has mod.fled the polar bear’s disposition.—Outing. Paimles. “As fur pansies, every one you pick shall have a different character. Some are per vers**, like bashful babies, and will not look you in the face. Some are confining, and some are even bold.
