TURKISH DAY OF REJ0ICIN&
Hospitable Welcome Accorded to All
During the Month of
Ramaian.
Every year In Turkey, In the month
of Ramazan. as they term It—which In
the month when the Koran was re-
vealed. in 26 parts, to Mohammed—It
was for years a general custom in
Turkey for the Turks to open their
houses at 12 o'clock, the Turkish sun-
set time, to strangers and anyope was
permitted to enter and take sdpper, a
meal the Turks call oviftar, during
Ramaxan.
No matter how poor or how rich the
persons, and whether a complete
stranger or new friend, they couie
just before the sunset hour, and all
are seated at the truly hospitable table
before 12 o'clock. Immediately after
the roar of the cannons announces
sunset the Turlis eat either an olive
or a date. It bring the legend that the
holy prophet tf.ld this, and those who
smoke may begin as soon as the date
or olive, supposed to be the fruits of
paradise, dlsappoars. Then come Jel-
lies, as It Is a Lelief in Turkey that
sweets "collect the senses," whatever
that may mean. Oddly enough, soups
follow the sweets, and then after that
eggs cooked tn butter are served, fol-
lowed in turn by mutton chops or
roasted meat; these are succeeded by
vegetables, and the vegetables by a
sort of sugarless pudding, called
beurek, and after this the famous
baclava or kadalf.
After all this more meat coursea,
fish, and vegetables are served, and
such sweets as rice milk (gullaj aud-
laj), native blanc mange (mahallebl),
pllaf with hlshad or junket (yaourt)
and coffee.
A Family Name.
A new boy had made his appearance
In the schoolroom, and Miss Adair,
the teacher, summoned him to her
desk. "Do you expect to come to
school here regularly?" she asked him.
"Yes'm."
"Where do you UveT Are you in this
districtr
"I guess so. I lire down this street
'bout four blocks."
"What ia your name?"
"Martin Luther Hicks.
"MarUn Luther?" said the teacher.
"I presume, Martin, you know for
whom you were named?"
"Tea m," answered the boy, bright-
ening up. "I waa named after me
uncle, on me mother'a side. He keeps
a llv'ry stable."—touth's Companion.
Misfortune of Dullneea.
Dullness means a lack of Imagina-
tion. and without Imagination life and
happiness are both Impoeaible. Re-
ligion and art, from one point of view,
share the aame mission. They bring
to man the sense of amasement. They
teach us that the world ia a wonderful
fairy palace, the place of hourly mira-
.clea. Then we discover that we our
selves are moet amusing creatures
The duU man Is not interested In
himself, has no self-love. I #m certain
that no man can love his neighbor un-
less he has learned to love himself.
.From ourselves we discover humanity
