"As to Turkey, matters seem to be steadily growing worse.

Constantinople, throned upon the most magnificent site for a city on the globe, is in all its recent civic buildings and its general municipal system vile. I know of but one other city which can be classed with it in these respects. As I went through its muddy, badly-paved lower streets, saw the evidence of bad sewerage everywhere, and looked upon its tumble-down quays it all fairly made me homesick, they resembled so strongly those of our own city of New York. As a simple matter of fact those districts of New York somewhat remote from the main avenue's and centers have the vilest arrangements I have ever seen in any part of the world, with the possible exception of Constantinople, and New York seems to resemble Constantinople, too, in wastefulness and prodigality of expenditure, and both differ from the great European cities in these respects."

"I am something of a dyspeptic, and the only bread stuff I eat is the hard-water biscuits, a supply of which is kept on hand for my use. As they are not kept at the village store I send them out from New York by the box and my wife reserves them for me. For a week or ten days past these biscuits have disappeared in the most unaccountable manner. The little biscuit jar on the sideboard would be filled after I left the house in the morning and there would not be one in it by luncheon time. My wife naturally thought the servants took them, although they are not an especially toothsome dainty, and she, spoke to them about it.

They both asserted they never took one, the cook tossed her head and assuring her mistress they were too much like the steerage biscuit for her to bite on. Still the crackers disappeared, and as our baby hasn't yet cut his cracker teeth, and there's no one else in the house besides the servants and ourselves, it was puzzling to whom to trace the theft. Yesterday morning, however, as my wife sat alone reading in the sitting-room, which adjoins the dining-room, a slight clink of the glass and Bilver on the sideboard attracted her notice. Raising her eyes, but not moving, she saw through the. open door a small red squirrel skilfully threading his way among the tumblers and teapots.

He reached the cracker jar, and, seizing a biscuit, was out of the window in a trice. Within two minutes he was back, only to get another biscuit and vanish as before, continuing the process until the jar was empty. As he took the last one my wife stole quietly after him and saw him run along the grass to a low apple tree close to the house, and run up the trunk to an intersecting branch, where he disappeared downward. Investigation later, with the aid of a chair, disclosed a deep hollow in the tree, where, by actual count, we found forty-seven biscuit carefully stowed away.
