A ! j at a Dinner J'urty The Etiquette (if tbn OUoiuhii Court The feu 1 tail's Do iBCHtlc Lite, Htc A correhpondent of the London Times writing irtm Tiierapia, gives the fol lowing concerning the dinner recently given l.y the Sultan in honor of !Mr. Layard, the wife of the English Embas sador: Tlie dinner party here consisted of the Sultan, the Grand Yzier, Mahmoud Jj-imad Pasha, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the two Said Pashas, one 'the Chief Secietary of the Sultan, the other Marshal of the Palace, whose similarity of name causes them to be f i quently confounded together, and each to come in occasionally in the European press for praise or censure obviously meant for the other. The dinner was sei ved in the French style, and is said tc have been a very pleasant one, "Wine was put upon the table for the guests, but the Sultan only drank sherbet He proposed the health of the Queen of England, expiessing his gratitude for the kh.d interest which Her Majesty had shown in tl e Tin kith wounded b sending bandages to be distributed by Mrs. Layard among the sufferers, and to Mrs. Layard herself for her indefati gable exertions in the same good cause. That the Sultan should have sat down at the same table with the wife of Her Britanic Majesty's Re resentative at Constantinople, though it may not a pear anything very remarkable topeo in England unfamiliar with the strin gent rules of Oriental Court etiquette, is heie considered so startlingly unusu al as to have excited more attention than would be bestowed on a Turkish victory or defeat. 1 was severely cross questioned this afternoon as to whether Mrs. Layard had dined in the "Harem lyk" or the "Selamlyk" by an English lady long resident in this country, who seemed to think it difficult to believe that the Sultan could possibly entertain a lady in the "elamljk." Let me ex plain that by "Haremlyk' is meant that portion of a Turkish house set apart foi the women, and by "Selamlyk" that foi the men. No Turk would ever think of allowing a l;.dy of his own household to come into the "Selamlyk," and it is only very recently that the more ad vanced and daring Radicals have ven tuicd, to the disgust of the old Tory party, to dme occasionally with their wives in the harem. In a Turkish house, if fact, theieare always two din ners served, one for the husband and his guests, who, in the true spirit oi Tuikish hospitality, sit down to the ta ble as a matter of course, when they hap pen to be in the house at the dinner hour, and an other for the wife and her female friends, w ho would no more join he male dinner party in the 'Selamlyk' than the husband's frienas could join the ladies in the harem, the threshold of which even the wife's brother cannot cross. In spite, however of all these cogent cj; fori reasons to prove the impossi bility of so monstrous a departure from Mussulman custom and custom to a Mussulman, like caste to a Brahmin, is the chief part of his religion it never theless is a matter of fact that Mrs. Layard did dine in the Selamlyk." It is doubtless the most striking, but by no means the Grit, proof that the pres ent Sultan has given of his desire to emancipate liimself from the tradition and prejudices of the Ottoman Court It may make English readers smile, but here it is noted as a matter of grave importance, that his Imperial Majesty offers cigarettes to his favored guests with his own hand from his own case; that he allows ministers to drive in the same carriage with him ; that he actu ally returns the salute of his subjects in the streets, and does not expect them to dismount from their horses or get out of their carriages when he drives by, nor to prostrate themselves on the ground when admitted to his presence. Some of them i.re even allowed to sit down before hau. Your readers may remember that in a recent letter I de scribed the surprise and gratitude of no less a persom ge than his Holiness the Armenian Patriarch when the Sultan prevented him from stooping low in humble obeisance to the ground and made him take a seat, and the contrast which he drew between this gracious condescension and the demeanor of the Sultan's predecessor, Abdul Aziz. More liberal views than his would not always be found among the statesmen of con stitutional countries.and they aresimply amazing in an Oriental Monarch vir tually uncontrolled. Those who see most of him declare his domestic life presents a still more striking contrast to the pop ular reception of a Sultan's well stocked Seraglio, and that, whatever the number of his wives, en litre, or slaves, he is in practice, if not in theory, as ardent an advocate of monogamy as the Vicar of Wakefield. This much, at least, is cer tainthat his Majesty likes it to be de clared that he is the husband of one wife a concession to the European prejudice against polygamy which Ab dul Aziz would not have deigned to make, or, indeed, have understood. One might reasonably expect, as well as hope, a good deal in the way of reform from Abdul Hamid if a long and peace ful reign gave him a fair chance, and if European influences, judiciously brought to bear, could cause him to be surrounded with more enlightened ad visers than the majority of those who are now predominant at the palace, and whose strength is put forth to keep him in the old lines; but that he is very far from being entirely in the leading strings is shown by his numerous de partures from the stringency of Turk ish etiquette, and by none more con spicuously tianthelasL Counterfeit ational Bank Notes.

One of the smartest little boys in school was one who, without appearing to study hard in school, had always a perfect recitation. "Why, Tom," said his teacher, one day, "where do you learn your lessons? You don't study in school like the other boys-" "I rise early in the morning, and study an hour before breakfast," answered Tom. Ah ! that is it "The morning hour has gold in its mouth." There is a little garden near us, which is the prettiest and most fruitful spot in the neighborhood. The earliest vegetables grow there. If any body wants flowers, that garden furn ishes the sweetest roses, pinks, and "all sorts" without number. The soil, we used to think, was poor and rocky, be side being exposed to the north wind ; and the owner is at his business all day, yet he never hires anv one to dig or to weed for him. "How do you make so much out of your little garden T he was ojice asked. "1 give my mornings to it,' he answered : "and I don't know which is the most benefitted by my work, my garden or I." Don't sleep away the morn ing hours, then, if you would prosper. Cnrions Facts About Advertising. Advertising appears to have begun during the Commonwealth period. Xewspapers in the strict sense of the word did not make their appearance until the latter end of the reign of James the First Careless and super ficial writers from time to time repeat the statement that th first English newspaper dates from 1;.SS, the period of the Spanish Armada, and ascribe to Queen Elizabeth and her great minis ter. Lord Burleigh, the honor of invent ing the daily press. There are in the British Museum several copies of a paper styled the English Mercurie, which professes to have been published during those momentous days when the great Armada was hovering upon the' southern shores of England. Among the items of news three or four book advertisements appear. These undoubt edly would be the first advertisements put forth in England were the English Mercu ie of Its? geHuine. Bat the able and diligent custodians of the Museum Library have proved the several num bers of this paper to be beyond question gross forgeries. The type, paper, spell ing, and composition betray their late origin ; and in the opinion of competent judges they are probably no older than the beginning of the eighteenth cen tury. The Weekely Xewea, published .in lTnnflm in moo waa thft first, nnblica- tion which may be properly called a newspaper. It contained little foreign intelligence and no advertisements. The political conflicts of the age ab sorbed the energy and enterprise of the nation. But when the Commonwealth had crushed its foes into sullen submis sion, the idea of using the press in aid of commerce, of giving publicity to wares and announcing wants,- took. strong hold of the public mind. A diligent investigator of allowed author ity in this line of antiquarian research says that the earliest advertisement be can find relates to a poem in praise of Cromwell, published in London in 1652, and appears in the January number of the parliamentary paper Mercurius Politicus. The booksellers seem to have started the advertising business, and for some yeara few other than book advertisements are to be found. la the same paper, dated July 1st 1653. ap peared the first specimen of another kind of advertisement, destined to be very prolific on both Bids of the sea. It is a full and minute description of a runaway apprentice. 'Once begun, this sort of advertisements became familiar to newspaper readers. The success of the plan probably made it popular. In August 19, occurs the first notice of the negro as a servant, a little fellow nine years old being lost or stolen away. Advertisements of lost or stolen horses are also numerous attliis period.together with announcements of public convey ances and stages. But it is a curious fact that the first trade advertisement refers to that most popular beverage, "the cup that cheers but not inebriates." It is as follows in the Mercurius Politi cus of September SOLh, 165S. about three weeks after the death of the great Pro tector: "That Excellent and by all Physitians approved China Drink called by the Chineans Tcha, by other nations Tay alias Tee, is sold at the Sultanes Head Cophee House, in Sweeting3 Rents, by the Royal Exchange, London." The mention of a 4 cophee-house" shows that coffee also was making its way into popular favor. In the Puritan period there were obvious reasons for encourag ng these competitors against strong ale and heady wines. Tea and coffee were relied upon then as now as antagonists of strong drinks. With the Restoration, the Mercurius Politicus changed its opinions and be came the court journal, under the name of the Mercurius Publicum King Charles was very fond of dogs, and before he had been a month at Whitehall one of his favorites was lost or stolen. On June 28th, 1060, an advertisement ap peared promising a reward to any one who could give information about the dog. In the very next issue of the pa per the advertisement is repeated in substance, but with a point and humor whinh almost irresistiblv lead one to thiuk the king himself penned it. Here it is, verbatim et literatim : C2T We must call upon you again for a Black Dog, between a Greyhound and 9 Spaniel, no white about him, only a streak in his Breast and Tayl a little bobbed. It is His Maje3ties own Dog, and doubtless was stolen, for the Dog was not born nor bred in England, and would never forsake his Master. "Who soever finds him may acquaint any at Whitehal, for the Dog was better known at Court than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing His Majesty ? Must he not keep a dog? This Dog3 place (though better than some imag ine) is the only place which nobody of- fcrs to l)ir It is scarcely possible to doubt the au thorship of this, especially as it was originally printed in larger type than was ordinarily used for advertisements. That gay and genial humor which charmed the nation into submission to a disgraceful despotism for so many years, gleams forth unmistakably in the closing sentences. The revival of field sports and pas times after the Restoration brought into the paper numerous advertisements of sporting animals; and among them oc curs the following inquiry for a falcon belonging to King Charles, which shows that hawking was not vet an extinct country amusement. It appears in the London Gazette of 1607: A soiager Falcon of His Majesty lost the 13 of August who had one Varvel of his keeper, Roger Higs, of Westminster, Gent Whoever hath ta ken her up and give notice Sir Allan Apsley, Master of His Majesties Hawks at St James's shall be rewarded for his paines. Back-Stairs in Whitehall. In the pages of the Gazette, which had now become the court and efficial paper (the latter character it yet retains) the inventors and vendors of medicinal specifics for the ills that flesh is heir to sought the attention of the public, par ticularly of the upper ranks. During 1665-0, antidotes and remedies fur the plague were freely advertised. The Intelligencer of August 28th announced "an excellent electuary against the plague, to be drunk at the Green Drag on, Cheapside, at sixpence a pint" The true value of the advertisement appears to have dawned upon the pub lic mind about the time of the revolu tion of 16S3, and the accession of Wil liam of Orange. The country began to breathe freely, and the new spirit of enterprise manifested itself not only in the advertising columns of the public journals, but also in the increase of the number of papers, not less than twenty six having been set up within four years after the settlement of the monarchy. Advertisers Guide. E&tiag Versus Drinking. If you would keep from drinking so great a quantity of ardent spirits, eat more. Eat nutritious food. Eit some thing whenever you take a drink. The drunk, in all cases, comes from the stomach full of whisky and no food. There is a fact yet to be learned by many, and that is, they do not eat enough of real blood, bone and tissue making food. You may half starve to death on salt fish, potatoes, cabbage. turnips, fried liver, stewed kidney, and a score of other dishes that please the taste, but add little or nothing to the body force. Eggs, the best of steak, mutton and bread are what one requires for strength. It is this unconscious, half-starved condition which causes so much of the craving for a temporary increase of strength, and that is quick est gained through a glass of whisky ; that gives, for a few momenta, a spas modic impulse to the wheels of life, sending them whizzing and, spinning around for a few moments; then comet a reaction, and they tarn more sluggish than ever.

Freouenters of circuses will remember a species of entertainment in vogue some years ago which illustrated the perfection to which training will bring the Spanish poodle. Such tricks as these dogs performed had never leen known before, and wherever they went they were the most interesting element of the show. While they were in Chicago a West Side drug gist visited the tent nightly and watched care fully the operations of the dogs. His soul was firea by their achievemeats, and it occurred to him that by teaching such an animal to imitate him In everything he did he would soon pre sent to the world a specimen of canine Intel ligence that would excite wonder and admira tion. After a long and tedious search he found and ourchased a full-blooded Spanish poodle and commenced his operations. ,Tha tractabil ity of the dog surprised him from the start, and, as he proceeded carefully with the train ing of his pet, his wonder was exdted'by the evidence of memory and reasoning facalty the dog displayed. After be had-tahrtt him to sit np with a pair of spectacles onUanoM and a paper on his paws, be noticed that the dog would throw back his bead and open bis month wide, just as his master bad frequently done on striking a Hawkeye paragraph or the opin ion of a war correspondent Bpon the probable action of some general. Bat one thing attrac ted his attention more than anything else, and tharwasthe poodle's love of music. When ever the piano waa opened, the dog forgot all tricks, and, seating himself before the instru ment, he would cry out a sort ol an accompan iment to the notes. Solemn music affected him most, while light airs filled him to over flowing with enjoyment. It occurred to the druggist to extend the dog's education, and, after many months of trial, despair, and jubi lation, he began to realize .thai his efforts were not in vain. Following the air as whis tled by his master, the poodle would manage to pick out "Home. Sweet Home," "Comine Thro' the Rye," "The Last Rose of 8ummer,ft and similar simple airs. Seated at the piano, his piws would ramble over the keys at ran dom, but whatever air the master whistled the dog caught the spirit, and, though plaving slowly and with hesitation, and sometimes striking two kevs at once, be yet managed to pull through, to the intense delight of the dTOirgirt and the adndrattoa of his friends.
