The sultan of Turkey is a most eosli / article of brie-a-brae, especially for a bankrupt nation. The cost of the mere neces saries of life for him and his house hold amounts to about ?7.u00,U0J a Vear. This seems an enormous gro cery and butcher's bill, but it must be remembered, that, including his :tu;» brevet wives, the palace eunuchs, and the servants and officers of the im perial household, no less than 0.003 people are catered for daily when Ab dul Hamid Is "in residence" at Ylldlz or Dolma Ilagtche palace. Enormous quantities of bread are consumed by the sultan and his household, the pal ace bakeries turning out no less than IS.000 pounds daily. The bakery staff is a small army, for, besides the bak ers, there are the buyers and the slaves who purchase the dour and rye and the fuel for the fires. One ton of rice is used daily in making the inev itable "piliaf" or pilau without whicli .no Turk thinks lie lias really made a meal. This dish consists of rice boil ed with mutton, kid or fowl, and fla vored with raisins, spices, butter and the cook only knows what el e. Then there are consumed daily 600 pounds of sugar and a like amount of coffee, not to mention huge quantities of other groceries, fruit and vegetables. The water for the household ir brought to the p|lace in great round casks from two streams which empty into the IloRporus. As every part of the Turkish admin stration is nearly as rotten as Tam many Hall (but not quite), there is tittle doubt that a portion of this enor nous amount of food is disposed of as perquisites by the palace officials; for 'ven tt.000 people scarcely could con •mmo ail that the sultan pays for daily ’n the shape of food. Tile sultan lr.m *elf is a small eater. His breakfast ■(insists of fruit, coffee and a roll, and it luncheon he eats pilau, fruit and some sweets. He seldom drinks spirit ious liquors, but indulges in large quantities of sherbet and cats an in ■redilile amount of ice cream. All the 'ood for the sultan is prepared by one man alone, and is cooked in dishes of silver, anil sometimes even of gold. Each dish is sealed when it leaves the kitchen, and when brought cm the table tlie seal is broken in the euitan’s presence by the chamberlain. In or der to test the food for poison, the chamberlain takes a spoonful out of each dish before his imperial master touches it. The food always in served to the sultan in the name dish in which It Is (coked, and the padishah eats out of the dish with his fingers, never using a plate or a knife or fork except on occasions when he has some foreigners to dinner with him. Some times he will use a spoon, but prefers bis fingers to al! extr.meou; aids to dining. As each course is served two slaves approach the sultan, one bear ing bread and the either pancakes upon golden trays; so it takes twice as many slaves as there are courses t> get the sultan through his meal. Only the sultan and the higher palace ofil cials are allowed pancakes with their meals; the underlings have to he con t( nt with bread. New York Prc.-w. Onri'll V* r* Mounfnlnc.'f'r.

Point cf Viebv. “What should I say makes girls at tractive?” answered a society man to whom the above query was put. “Well that is a very hard question to an swer. Different men (for I take it by asking me you wish to know what makes a girl attractive to a man) like different attributes. You probably mean generally attractive—what you might call a popular girl in society. Well, I should say one of the most important traits Is the power of mak ing another feel that—for the moment at least—his personality and what he says are of paramount interest. Many young women let th'dr eves ■ wander while you are talking to them, as if they were looking for other men. This Is certainly not complimentary. Still, even absent-mindedness is not much worse than a too great interest of ex pression, which in apt to bore on ;. One feels any affectation of Interest Instinctively. Interest must be genu ine and spontaneous to be agreeable. A pleasing voice and sympathetic laugh are also great adjuncts. I know several girls who score a lot in that way. It is a pleasure to talk to them for no other reason. It is the general opinion that beauty attracts a man more than any other quality. This is by no means the case; In fact, as a •ule the beauties do not have half so good a time as pretty women who are ess self conscious. There are many beautiful women who completely lack •harm. There is <;no thing about a woman’s personal apptaranee tiiat ap peals particularly to ninety-nine men ,ue of a hundred .and that is neatness and smartness. Women, as a rule lo not realize this. Ill their efforts to j look pretty anti have their belongings becoming they often completely over look tidiness, and so spoil everything A neat shining head always excites a man's admiration, while becomingness ; is with him quite a secondary consid eration. 1 have often seen my sisters i look In the glass, arrange their crimps I with the greatest care, and quite over look the fact that their heads were far j from looking trig and tidy—two great ; essentials, to my mind. As for lasting attractions! Ah, for those men look j i below the surface more than women suppose. A man's instinct seeks in the woman he cares for something bet ! ter than himself. He may not say I much about it. but he, feels it all the i same. These qualities I have men I tioned may attract, but it needs others j to attach.” C lothing fucki-il with Onlf Hull*.

On one of the trains entering New S'ork n few weeks ago. a woman af ’orded her fellow passengers an un •onsclous, hut. powerful, object lesson. With the woman was a little girl about six years old. The day was warm, and through the op‘-n windows the dust drifted in a fine gray cloud. Every passenger was exceedingly un ■omfortable. hut each forgot his dts omfort in the spectacle of ‘hat suf fering child. The mother begun oper ations by seating her little daughter beside her with a thump that made • he infant's teeth rattle. Then, at in tervals of one or two minutes during the weary journey slip paid the child .hese maternal attentions: Slip tool: jff her hat: she smoothed her hair: the put the hat on again: she removed .he child's little jacket, and put in on again; she straightened tier collar; •.he wiped her face with her handker •hief; she removed an imaginary tin ier from her eye; she smoothed her ialr again; she took off and retied the •ibbon on her hair; she stood her up ,iul smoothed her down: she unfas ened the bow at her neck and retied t Over and over she followed this jrogram while the awe-struck paasen {ers looked on. The child accepted •he situation with grim endurance, •evidently she had been used to it al! ,f her short life. The world to her vas a strange place where mothers exhausted their nervous energy in use 1 less attentions to little girls. Her small face was pathetically sail and tired. When the journey's eud was reached she arose Wearily, was put through it all once more, and got lan guidly off the car. Among those who watched the scene was a prominent Nov York specialist in nervous di seases. He turned to the wiiter and summed up the entire situation in one sentence which has in it a sermon for every American mother. “Kach touch.” he said, grimly, ‘‘pushes that child a little nearer to the doors of the sanitarium that will some day open for her." There were otliei mothers on the train. Perhaps they took the Ip son home. Through Sn iday Vandals.

Sunday van dals had taken to hurling stones from I it. down the neighboring ravine. The I great wall has already suffered more than enough spoliation. The farm house of Plane Trees, hard by, was built with stones taken from this very ■ station: and all along from Carlisle to I Newcastle it is more or less a ruin— the more pitiably because what re mains of it. assailed by no worse en . emies than winter and rough weather, is surprisingly fresh.—Yorkshire Post.

Scientific investigators in Europe, after thorough tests of a horseflesh diet, say that, this sort of meat, when the use of it is continued for a long time, tends to lessen the weight of the consumer, whether man or beast. These physiological sages have come to the conclusion that the choicest steaks and roasts from the fattest colts and fillies are inferior to beef or veal, mutton, lamb or ham in sus taining vital force and preventing a decline in strength.
