THE TURKISH BABY.
Sdd Customs Attsnd Upon His Birth
and His First Bath.
A Turkish baby looks very queer In
his odd dress. He wears over Ills shirt
a kind of padded gown, something like
9 bathrobe, and on his little bead he
wears a bright red silk cap with a
tassel of seed pearls. To keep ail evil
away from the baby one or more
charms are fastened to the tussel.
His arms and legs are bound tightly
after they are straightened out by his
nurse, and when he is all fixed be is
put in a little bed and covered with
several warm pads. In addition to this
a thin red veil is put over all.
When he is all ready bis father
comes in to see him for tho first time.
If the child Is a boy, the father is
doubly pleased. He takes the child up
very tenderly in his arms and carries
him out of the room. Just outside the
door he rests a minute and prays. After
he prays three times he repeats tho
name chosen for the baby and this is
the way tbe baby Is christened.
When the child is three days old a
celebration is held and old women who
make a regular business of this go to
the different houses inviting tne muies
to the party. At each house they tell
the day of his birth and the name of
the baby and urge the people to come.
On the day of the celebration the
people arrive from early in the morn
ing until late In the afternoon. Nearly
all bring presents for the baby's mother,
and each person as she gives her pres
ent to the mother expresses a pleasant
wish for the child.
They hardly notice the baby, for the
mother Is afraid of bad luck if too
much attention Is paid to It The few
who do look at him say how ugly he
Is or something like that and (his de
lights the mother, who knows they do
not mean what they say.
If the parents are rich sweet sherbet
or coffee and candles, cakes and ices
are served as refreshments. If they
are poor coffee and fruits are offered,
but the entertainment Is much the
same. The ladies talk and laugh and
eat until they are ready to leave.
Another great event is the baby's
first bath. This happens when he Is
eight days old, and his mother and her
friends may have a bath, too. If they
wish. The baby bathes first, then his
mother and then the visitors. This
bath takes a long time and all the time
slaves play sweet music and food Is
served three or four times.—Portland
Oregonlan.
British Soldiers' Pay.
The English war office gives some
Interesting information concerning how
the soldier Is paid, whatever the cir
cumstances of his service.
In the trenches of course there is
not much use for money, lint while he
remains on the (irlug line the soldier's
accounts are kept by his company of
ficers, and he can make withdrawals
when convenient.
A statement of his Onnnci.il position
follows him into the hospital, and his
banker Is then the medical officer in
charge. On furlough during couvalos
enco there is a special paymaster. I'.iy
due to a soldier killed in action Is dealt
with as part of the estate and scnl to
the next of kin.—Philadelphia North
American.

MANGLED THE PROOFS.
Tolstoy Muot Have Made His Printer**
Life a Burden.
When "Amm Kareuina" began to
eoiue out in the luunthly Itusski Vyest
uik, writes Count Ilya Tolstoy In his
"lieiuinlsceuces 0/ Tolstoy," long gal
ley prool's were posted to my father
uud lie looked tlielii through and cor
rected them.
At lirst he would murk the margins
with the ordinary typographical signs,
letters omitted, marks of punctuation
uud so on; thou lie would change In
dividual words, and then whole sen
tences. That wouid be followed by
erasures and additions until the proof
sheets became a mass of patches thut
was perfectly black in places. It was
Impossible to scud them back as they
stood, because no one except my mother
could make head or tail of the tangie
of si^us, transpositions and erasures.
My mother would sit up all night copy
tug the whole thing out afresh.
In tlie morning the pages lay on her
table, neatly piled together, and cover
oil Willi Uer uue, i:.r;ir unnuwnung.
Everything would lie ready so that
wlien J.yovotchka came down lie could
seud tile proof sheets off by post My
father would carry them to his study
to have "ouo last look." anil by even
ing: the sheets were all written over
and messed uj> once more.
"Sonya, my dear, I nm very sorry, but
I've spoilt all your work again; I
promise 1 won't do it any more," he
would say, showing her the passages
ho had inked over, with a guilty air. !
"We'll send them off tomorrow with
out fail." lint tlirt tomorrow was
often put off for weeks, or oven for
months.
"There's Just one lilt I want to look
through again." my father would say.
but lie would get carried away anil re
write it all afresh. There were even
occasions when, after lie had posted
the proofs, my father corrected them
by telegraph the nex: day.
Several times, in consequence of
these corrections, ilie printing of the
novel in the l!tis<kl Vyestnik was Inter
rupted. and sometimes it did not come
out foi mouths together.

n'STld NUMBERS.
Ro.nar.ce That Is Woven Arcund th*
Seven, Three and Nino. ,
There are seven da;, s i.i ilie »veek be
I cause of the oriental tradition that the
world was ereuted In seven days. The
Romans had no week, but reckoned by
months, counting forward and back
ward from the Ides and nones, until the
fourth century, when they adopted the
Jewish-Christian week.
Because of its relation to the creation
the number seven has always been in
vested with an occult and mystic sig
nificance. There were seven wise men
in antiquity and seven wonders of the
world. The seventh son of a seventh
son, or seventh daughter of a seventh
danghtor was supposed to possess pow
ers of prophecy or divination. For
seven days seven priests with seven
trumpets Invested Jericho, and on the
soventli day they encompassed it seven
times. The ancients knew of seven
planets and seven metals. There were
seven heavens and seven hierarchies of
angels.
Seven bad a mystical significance
among peoples wl.o bud no tradition of
a seven day creation, and this was due
to its being indivisible by any number
but Itself and to its being a combina
tion of 3 (called by Pythagoras the per
fect number, representing beginning,
middle and end) and 4, the square num
ber.
The Pythagorean idea about 3 receiv
ed confirmation when the doctrine of
trinity In unity was promulgated by
the early Christians. For 3 is Itself at
onco trinity and unity.
The number 0 was endowed with
mysterious properties because It Is the
product of three times three—perfec
tion multiplied by perfection. To see
nine magpies was remarkably lucky.
Nine grains of wheat laid on a four
leafed clover enabled one to see the
fairies.- -New York World.
