TURKISH FUNERAL RITES DEATH AKD BtTRIAI. IN THB OTTO If AN EMPIRE. SprlnkllnjrtlieCorps With Hot Wo tor Carried to the Grare -Tnrk Ish Cemeteries ami Tombs. Emile Julli.irJ, in liii article on "Life Beneath the Crescent'' in the Cosmopoli tan, nays: If a Turk die s, or looks as if he were dead, no physician, no inspector, comes to make pure that death 1ms really taken place; but if it lias not, the fact will soon lie established, thanks to a procedure more efficient than nil the pentle and re lined means in vogwin the West to make sure that the deceased is not hoaxing his heirs. Scarcely lias the last breath lnen taken when the corpse is lifted up violently by viporousarnis, the clothing snatched off, laid on the flag-stones of the mortuary tliamlxT or vestibule, and besprinkled with hot water, which is thrown upon it by the imam, provided with a large pail. The sprinkling is repeated two or three times, so that the family runs little dan ger of seeincr the deceased resuscitated. Thus scalded as a preliminary step, the body is washed and dried. Then it is be powden d with camphor, and after being covered with a cloth embroidered with verses from the Koran, it is exposed for several hours in the court yard. After wards the imam returns, and accompanies the corpse to its last resting-place. The flat, covered bier is usually carried on the shoulders of friends of the deceased, or upon those of hired pall bearers, (sometimes strangers assume this duty gratuitously, looking upon it as a pious and meritorious act. The orttge is made up only of those that carry the colBn by turns, thus relieving one another without stopping. The coffin is made of cedar, and it is seldom varnished, but it is covered with a rug or shawl, and there is placed at the head a turban or a fez, if the deceased is a male. The procession always moves hastily, not for the purpose of getting rid of the dismal burden, but to hasten the moment when deceased shall enjoy eternal repose; for the Mussulman believes that the soul is restless and unhappy as long as the corpse is unburied. This is why three or four hours only elapse between death and burial. On arriving at the cemetery, the imam so places the bier that the face of the de ceased is turned toward Mecca; he then approaches the brink of the grave and ut ters a very long prayer, the conclusion of which is as follows: "Draw near, Moun kir and Nekir, angels of death and min isters of Allah. Great and blessed God, we humbly beseech thee to make the earth light for thy servant. May he find grace and mercy with thee. Amen." A Chris tian's prayer does not hay anything more nor uny better. According to the Koran, the deceased is the owner of his grave in perpetuity, and the objectionable system of sepulture in rotation is unknown to the inussul mans; and in Constantinople, in Kyoub, and in Scutari, the room occupied by cemeteries is almost as extensive as that covered by dwellings. AVithin recent years it has been found necessary, in or der to open roads that have been much needed, to curtail and even suppress some of the cemeteries; but it required an ex press order from the Sultan, w Inch made the ulemas utter the wail of bigots. The cypress is pre-eminently the fu neral tree. Kach tomb has to Lave its own. And Turkish cemeteries become gloomy forests in time, which impart to certain Oriental lanscnpcsan aspect singu larly still and somber. It is upon the sea-shore that these funeral forests are found in the greatest abundance, the trees, being nourished by the soli fertil ized by human remains, reach a prodigi ous size and height. The largest and most celebrated of these cemeteries is that of Scutari, upon the Asiatic coast ol the Uosphorus; it extends over an area more than six miles square. The tombstones are in the shape of an oval, wider at the top than the bottom, and surmounted with a turban or a fez, the form of which, varying greatly, indi cates the rank of the deceased. A gilt inscription in Turkish characters, cut in relief on a blue background, gives the name nud enumerates the virtues of the deceased, and implores divine mercy in his behalf. These stones are sometimes perpendicular, sometimes leaning very much. In the latter case a hole is dug at the base of the tomb, intended to catch rain for the little bird that come to quench their thirst. The dead are not buried very deep, and it is strunge that the custom does not cause more sickness than it does. A large proportion of the epidemics of dys entery and typhoid fever that invade the low quarters of Constantinople can be traced to this custom. The proximity ol the cadavers to the top of the ground produces, during the summer night, par ticularly in swampy and dump Cemeter ies, a myriad of phosphorescent lights, lights, which dance and flit around the tombs; and these myriad sparks of fire, while inspiring the poets, also frighten children. WISE WORDS. A Scene at Sedan. The bearing and training of a child it woman's wisdom. The dome of the temple of happiness rests upon beams of joy. A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. Good manners and good morals are sworn friends and firm allies. Happy are they who work. Then, the task finished, each one tlceps the same sleep. When the forenoon of life is wasted, there is not much hope of a peaceful evening. Nature intends that at fixed periods, men should succeed each other by the instrumentality of death. We shall never outwit Nature ; we shall die as usual. There are treasures laid up in the heart, treasures of charity, piety, temper ance and soberness. These treasures a man takes with him beyond death when he leaves this worid. Every action, every thought, every feeling, contribute to the education of the temper, the habits and understanding, and exercises an inevitable influence upon all the acts of our future life. At Sedan there was a truce before the final surrender. General WiiiioH'cii, who was in command of the IViu h troops, 4. .1 C II,. . . 1 ' wniit.u. lavurauie lernis; bur, HKe Ut-ll-ciid Grant at t'ort Donel .on, the Germans insisted upon an unconditional surrender, "Then we will resume the battle,1' was tne reply. "Very good, sir," said Von Molke, qui etly. "We have i 10,000 men, you about 80,000, and 500 cannon are in position to open on your lines." Io Wimpircn h.-sitatt d a few moments, anu uecicieu to sunender. "Is it the feword of l'luni e," said Von Moltke, or of Napoleon HI., which are delivering up?" "The sword of the 1'mperor. sir" was the answer. San J-'mm-im-u Vii(. Liring Longer. The prolongation of life in England by reaoii of the application of sanitary measures in the last thirty years is such that 34 H, 000 persons were alive at the end of 1880 w ho would have been dead if the rate of mortality of the period from 1870 to 1880 had not "been reduced as it was. The death rate for the six years since 1880 was 11). per 1,000 of popula tion, us against 21.4 in the decade be tween 1870 and 180. The lower rate is hir-M'lv due to the decrease of zymotic or filthy diseases. Between 1800 and 1870 there were 4.1-1 deaths for each thousand of population from such diseases. Since 10 the rate is but 2.4:!. The birthrate last year was :52. 7, or lower than at any time in the past forty years. Infant mor tality also diminishes. Since 1880 the rate has been 141 per 1,000 births, against 14il in the decade preceding 1880. These facts as a whole indicate, it is thought, a larger diffusion of knowledge and the real comforts of life. Biltimure Sun. A White Veael. A while weasel, whii-his ii-jj iidi J us u vtry jure curioMty, was trapped ri-ctntly in the.vit inity of Missouii City, Mo., by a yoinjg lad nann-d Frank Foley.

In the matter of clothing Corea is unique. The prevailing color is what is supposed to be white. A man starting out in the morning arrayed in freshly laundried clothing presents a remarkably fresh appearance, but on his return at night he may not be spotless. The articles of clothing worn are, first, a hat, or rather two, or even three, are worn at the same time; a tunic, loose and reach ing to the waist; loose, baggy white trousers supported by a girdle; white leggins, white stockings, shoes of various kinds, and over all a coat the sleeves of which are very flowing, And reach down to the hips or lower, and are sewed up from the bottom to the wrist, so as to form very capacious pockets, where merchants often carry goods in astonish ing quantities. In these pockets the petty official carries his fan, his handker chiefs, his tablets for writing, and sun dry little articles. Not to be forgotten are the purse for coins and knife and the tobacco-pouch and pipe suspended from the girdle, without which no Corean is dressed. In the case of men of high rank, however, these latter articles are carried by his servants, a great retinue of whom attend him. Of all lands in the world Corea is the land of hats. There is some variety but no change of style. The fashion once set, everybody follows it and sticks to it. With the exception of the forests of the Amazon, where hats, like umbrellas, are worn to shed the snakes which rain down from the dense overhanging branches, Corea leads the world in the superficial area of headgear. They may be seen there measuring two feet from the rim to the crown. The stockings and shoes are also very peculiar. London Figaro. Schools for Pickpockets. The ex-chief of the Parisian detective force, M. Mace, gives some curious notes about technical schools for pickpockets, where apprentice thieves are initiated into all the mysteries of the art, and sub mitted to theoretical and practical exam inations on a lay figure. This lay figure, dressed likea man, but covered withgre lots or little bells, is suspended from the ceiling by a wire, so that the slightest movement will set the bells tinkling. The apprentice is considered fit to operate professionally in a crowd when ho can steal a purse or a portfolio from the pock ets of the lay figure without causing the bells to ring. The stillest examination to pass is to undo a button of the lay fig ure's waistcoat, slip out the chain, and lift the watch. M. Mace believes in the existence of international associations of pickpockets, and, curiously enough, he does not consider the English pickpocket to bo the cleverest. The English pick jiocKet is dexterous with his hands, but Ids movements arc still and formal. He is a great walker, and tires out the police w ho are told oil to watch him. He is very prudent, not easily tempted, ncvei stays more than ten minutes in the same crowd, and rursly manes more than one victim in the same spot, except on a race course. At the races tho English pick- I pockets work in bands, and tho man who steals a pocketbook or puijse never keeps it, but passes it on through a series of ac complices. These pickpockets have in dicators, resident at Paris, who select victims for their compatriots to rob. The weighing paddock at the races is the fa vorite hunting ground. New York Sun. Metropolitan Night Venders. The wandering sausage man lias be come a familiar part of tho night life of New York now. Ho brings his wares into saloons, and sells them at ihe street corners. I noticed one in the Bowery the other night who had a quite pretentious outfit, and looked as if he had come to stay. The New York sausages are about double the size of tho Western ones. The price, too, is double. But hero they throw some mustard in with tho horse radish and put oleomargarine on tho bread. The refinement of metropolitan taste is met also with a side dish, with out which the boiled sausage is hardly complete. Our local sausage men supply sauer-kraut with the sausage for an addi tional nickel. There is a vender who makes a trade in chicken and turkey sandwiches and another who sells hard-boiled eggs ex clusively, A man now makes the rounds nightly with a basket-load of fried oys ters, which ho sells at tho rate of two for five cents. As the oyster-houses charge at least thirty cents for half a dozen fried oysters it must be manifest either that they make a great deal of profit or this humble tradesman loses money. lie looks tut and clean ami happy however. 1 lie ola-tune crab and lob-tor men, who used to purvey midnight ban quets to the revelers in our public houses, seem to have entirely vanished in the new crop of rivals the grow th of gastronomic taste has brought into t-nisttnce.
