I translate from the "Majma' al Aphur," by Sheikh Zada, a standard work of refor. ence with all Turkish lawyers. The work bears the official government stamp, and was printed in 1850, since the much-vaunted Hatuhumaiyoun was issued, proclaiming equality to all the subjects of the Porte:
If tribute is imposed ofther by treaty stipulation, or as a price paid for peace, it must be collected only in accordance with the terms of the treaty. If a city is con quered, and its inhabitants have submitted to pay tribute, the rich must pay forty- aeven dirhams each, the middle-classes twenty-four, and the poor twelva.+
Tribute is to be levied on the people of tho Buck' (Christians, Jews, and Sam Britans), the Magil, or fire-worshippers, and those idolaters who are not of Arabic origin.

To hint that this suddon manis for "turning good." is more a new form of excitement than anything else may sound cynical, but is nevertheless rosson- able. If the symptoms be keenly observed, it will be generally found that the ladies who so suddenly discover that they have a "vocation" for district-visiting, or that
