Revolution in Turkey
Constantinople.—What may prove a
serius revolution has broken out in
Yemen, Nasdie Esdriassi, command-
ing five battalions of Turkish troops
has defied the government, and has
announced that he will obey no ordeis
Irom the Turkish government. The
latter has demanded that ten bat-
talions of troops be hurried to Yemen
received his master's license 24 years
ago In 1886. Ills first trip as a pilot
was to New Orleans. At that time
pilots and engineers were the only
uttlcers who were required to havo 11
censeH.
Speaking of his early days In the
New Orleans trade, Mr. Hall said. In
the years just before and following
the Civil war steamboats used to pay
for themselves In one trip trading
along the river
Most Of the money was mad' on
the freight. The owners of the boats
running from St. Louis to New Or-
leans received $15 a head for carrying
hogs bel wet u the two cities and lot)
a head for cattle The rates on dry
goods, fruit and other things other ,
than animals was usually by the
pound and was correspondingly high
Passengers were the cheapest thing
the boats carried We only charged
them $100 apiece for the trip.
"One boat 1 piloted In the early
days cost $30,000 to build and made
$29,800 clear profit on the first trip.
I know of many boats which more
than paid for themselves in one trip."
Mr. Hall has been a pilot on the
Mississippi, Missouri, Red, Ohio and
Tennessee rivers. Most of his experi-
ence however, has been on the Missis-
sippi. On the Missouri river he has
been as far northwest as old Fort
Benton, In Montana.
Mr. Hall has spent practically his
whole life on the river. He received
his pilot's liccnse when barely of ago.

"Well, 1 don't enre," exclaimed the
angry husband, "no man of any sense
would approve of such extravagance
on the part of his wife."

"Statistics prove that marriage Is a

"Well, it's a poor rule that won't

Lisbon.—Approaching Lisbon up the
Tagues by steamboat the most strik-

the square "Torre do Belem" (Tower
of Bethlehem), which stands up bold-
ly on the river's brink in such a po-
sition as to command the sea gate-
way to the city until the refinements
of modern warfare. Now It is a pic-
turesque relic of former stirring times.

WHITEWASH FOR HEN HOUSES
Excellent Plan to Treat Building Once
Every Year—Government For-
mula Is Given.
Fach year many prefer to white-
wash their poultry houses both inside
and out. This is a good plan; it ef-
fectually destroys mites and purifies
the premises. The following is a for-
i mula used by the government on light-
houses, etc. Slake one peck of qtiick-
! lime with boiling water, covering
closely as soon as the water is sup-
I plied. When It is slaked strain and
add one gallon of salt dissolved in
hot water, two pounds of powdered
| rice previously boiled to a thin paste,
a quarter of a pound of Spanish whit-
ing, a half pound of clean glue dla-
j solved in warm water. Thoroughly
mix these ingredients, cover, and let
1 the mixture set for a few days to
1 ripen. It may be applied with a white-
j wash brush or made thin enough to
lie sprayed on with a spray pump In
I the latter case give two or even three
coats, one after another, as soon aa
I dry. Every nest. coop, fence, and
wood trough should receive the spray
1 on all sides. No lice, mites or vermin
ran 11 vo where this whitewash has
I been well applied. It should be put
on while warm. This will last as long
as paint, they say.

S tary of state. The charter was ap-
1 proved by Governor Haskell several
days ago.

"Bairro de Restello." A small chapel
and mariners' home built by the In-

night before the start of their adven-

They sat up watching and praying for
success.
When Vasco de Gama came home
with the good news of his passage
around the Cape of'Good Hope King
Henry the Navigator was so filled with
joy that he changed the name of the
