MODERN TURKISH LITERATURE 
N interesting guide to the tendency of 
pho Turkish ideas and thought 
may be had from a perusal of the lists of 
new publications in the Turkish language. 
says U. S. Consul Edward I. Nathan of 
Mersina. One will at once observe the large 
number of translations and adaptations of 
European scientific and literary works and 
books of a popular nature. There are 
treatises on medicine, surgery, law, chem- 
istry, physics, military science and even 
aeronautics. There is also a large num- 
ber of independent publications by Turk- 
ish authors on these and other modern 
topics. Textbooks for use in Turkish 
schools are prepared to meet the needs of 
a modernized curriculum. Instead of 
merely reading the fables and_ historical 
stories, excellent though they be, the mod- 
ern Turkish schoolboy uses graded read- 
ing books prepared in accordance with the 
latest pedagogic ideas. 
Standard works of European literature 
are being translated into Turkish, and mod- 
ern popular novels, principally French, 
have a large sale. Of purely American 
literature little has yet been translated, but 
the American detective stories are finding 
great favor among Turkish youth. 
There is also a growing modern Turk- 
ish literature which aims to foster Turkish 
patriotism and love for the Osmanli lan- 
guage. Several illustrated magazines are 
published regularly. The “Servet-i-funnun” 
(Riches of Knowledge) and the “Turk- 
Yurdo” (Turkish Heart) are the principal 
periodicals. Both are well illustrated with 
photographs and contain articles on cur- 
rent events as well as on literary topics. 
Excellent new editions, well illustrated, of 
some of the- Turkish classics are also pub- 
lished to retain the interest in these works. 
N war times down South, says the New 
York Times, it was the habit of the 
women to say that coffee made from okra, 
wheat, rye, or sweet potatoes was really 
better and more like coffee than real cof- 
fee. That was a wholly patriotic thing for 
them to say, in the circumstances, and 
helped to relieve the situation. 
A case was recently decided by one of 
the French courts which shows how Nature 
may be employed in aid of an imitation 
that can, nevertheless, be detected. A 
grocer arrested for selling honey without 
the distinguishing label required by statute 
was tried and convicted and fined 25 francs. 
The honey he sold was made by the bees, 
not from the natural nectar gathered from 
the flowers but from sugar upon which they 
had been fed by the keeper. 
It was contended that this honey, al- 
though made by the bees, working as hard 
as they could all day long, was artificial, 
or, as identified by the court, was “miel de 
fantasie,’ or, as The Westminster Gazette 
translates it, “synthetic honey,” or, as the 
Americans would say, “near honey.” 
Chemically, it was not the levulose of flow- 
ers that bloom in the Spring, but just cane 
sugar beeswaxed ! 
“MILK FOR SALE” 
TORONTO family had milk to sell 
and the little girl of the family was 
told she could have the milk money if she 
would write the advertisement, relates the 
Toronto Republican. This is what she 
wrote: Milk for sale, by a little girl with 
brown eyes and a pink dress,
