The foreign ambaEsadora accredited
to tho court ot QU James are, as In
fact the law looks upon thorn, little
' Kings, fading privileged beyond any
VEUbJect In tho realm, sayu Cassell's
Journal. The law of nations has do
elded that tho ambassador, like the roy
j,,fil sovereign, is abovo tho lav;, a state
ment which Implies that ho may do
Just ac ho likes. It Ib certain that
ho may commit murdcr'nnd not bo 11a
bio to arrest by tho myrmidons of New
1'Scotland Yard; ho may be guilty of
nrebbery with violence, and no Judgo can
threaten him with imprisonmcut or
"tho cat;" he may forge, rob banks nnd
r ven cerlously nBsault the prime mlnis-
teryand yet go quietly homo to dinnor
without tho least fear of being servod
Sylth a polico-court summons on tho
following morning. Ho can do moro
Cthan this ho may actually endeavor
to dcthropo tho quesn, us did Mondoza,
thc Spanlnh ambassador, in Elizabeth's
ron, or plot to take her life, as did
j'Aubcsplno, tho French ambassador.
Iiti 1GS-J, and yet not suffer the penal
ities of the law, for, though tho arm of
,',the law can tako hold of most wrong
'doers, the ambassador is an exception.
It may be asked what can bo done to
an ambassador who, far instance, com
,nlts murder or treason? Hns tho state
no remedy? All that tho state can do
iti such cnoe3 is to oppose force to
yforco, expel tho offending minister from
jjhe country and make a rcprcsontn
rtlon to tho ambassador's sovereign, re
foresting him to punish him for his bo
Jiavior. In the event of tho sovereign
'jgnorlng tho request this would prob
ably bo a cause of war between tho
'two nations.

An ingenious explanation of the ac
tion of Dr, Jameson la given by tho
London correspondent of the Dirmlng-
ham Gazette. According to this Jame
,oon with bis men, were waiting for
feomo word from Johannesburg. It
came in a telegram worded thus:
Revolution carried, In compliance with
your dosiro." That' wa3 tho telegram
received. Tho telegram actually Bent
,l"rom the Johannesburg commltteo was.
."Resolution catricd in compliance with
sour desire." That "v" instead of "s"
made all tjia difference. Jameson made
;s'his plunge into the onemy's country,
.expecting to And tho ibotllera in arms
waiting for hia coming. Instead he
tfound only great masses of arreted Boers
barring hia way, The Boors wero fully
prepared and expected ht3 coming.
This ralces tho curious suggestion, had
hey anything to do with altering the
'telegram? Wa3 it a trap for the Bng
11b1i raiders to draw them on" In order to
.Justify tho quaint vulgarism of Kruger
'that when the tortolso put out Its head
ithey would cut it off.

When William M. Evarts occupied a

recoptlons becamo famous. Tho rec.po
for it was as follows: One quart milk,
one cake chocolate, essence of vanilla,
firato the chocolate vpry lino, mix with
a tcaspoonful of hot water and rub
smooth. Allow the milk to conio to a
boll, put in tho chocolate and boll about
five minutes, or until of desired thick
ness. After romovmg It from the fire
-reason with the esFcnce,of vanilla ac
cording to taste. Boll In a farina ket

poured Into dainty cups while still in

Fill tho cups two-thirds full with tho
delicious brown mixture and add th'ick,

A. crest many droll chariict -s aad
bright, shrewd men aro met with
among hotel proprietors wherever you
go. saya the New York World. "The
Fnt ( Contribritor" wna lecturing onco
in' th'd Bfato. of Kentucky and. had occa
sion id tako dinnor at a nix-bit botel.
Aftdr'thc meal Mr. Orlawoldnteppcd up
to tb counter, took out n bale of bank
notes, which he had received for hia
lecture the evening before, and dal,ed
what might he the damage.
"Thrco dollars," snld tho b.uo-grass
gentleman, who had buttoned his col
lar with a tenpenny nail while he look
ed at "Grin" with a pained expression.
"Yes, but a man ought to bo able to
board here a week for $3. Tho whola
house didn't cost more than $40 or 54..
What's your idea in charging me $3 for
a wad of hominy and a piece of parched
pork?"
"Well, sir." said tho urbane land-
!"d' Mf f p"1 thKe flro f a a'
tance of twenty feet, by emptying hia
salivary surplus on
it. "I need th
money."
The frankness and open, candid
manner of the man won Mr. Grlswold
and ho asked him If he thought $8
would be enough. Tho landlord said hf
could get along with that Then Oria-
wold opened his valise and took out a
large brunette bottle of liniment
marked "For external use." Ho passed
It over to th- landlord and told him hm
would find this stuff worked r.o well on
the Inside as It did on tho outside. In a -few
moments the liniment of tho "Pat
Contributor" and the lineaments ot tho
landlord had merged into each other,
and a friendly feeling sprang up be
tween the two men which
time, has
never effaced.

WARDROBE OF A BALLET GIRL.
Ui Coit Ii Brazil, but Whim tlin Drerltr
of It la Coni tdered ft U Staap.
A ballet girl's outfit at tho MotropoiP
tan opera house coots an oven $11, uayu'
the New York World. Of this $8 gow
for a pair of silk tights, 2 for n pair
of ballet slippers, and $1 for enough
tarlatan to make a practice skirt. At
rehearsals she may wear any old bodlc
that suits her, and such costumes as
are required for a performance are fur
nished by tho management
The ballet slippers may be had of
either of two local manufacturers or
may be Imported. A fairly Rood psjr
will last about three montha. Tho soles
will hold out that Ions, but the upper?
are covered and recovered a number
of times. The covering is always of
white or pink satin. By the tlm tm
soles are worn out the slippers hav
been coered probably six or seven
times.
I These slippers can be bought In Lon
don for about 50 cents a pair. Most
English girls who come here to daaca
bring a supply with them. One en
terprlulng miss now dancing has her Vv
slippora sent to her by mail, wrapped f
p in a bundle of newspapers.
The tights found by tho girls ar
pink or flesh-color. If the opeiaa call
foi any othor color tho management
furnishes them.
The practice sklrto are used only at
the dally rehcasals.
In construction they are simple. A
piece of from twelve tQ fifteen yards sf
tarlatan Is mado Into two skirts, on
over the other. They are simply gath
ered In a yoke and scalloped at the
edge. There is nothing Bhowy about
them. They are meant for hard work
nnd aro very business-like looking af
fairs. A practice skirt will laBt about
four montha.
"Cost Grandeur of the Eait.
A comparison between the annuat
revenues of the Byzantine empire In
the beginning of the thirteenth century
and tho present revenues of the emplra
of the Ottoman Turks brings before the
mind's eye a picture of the lost grand
eur and wealth of provinces over which
now broods the silence of desolation.
At tho period mentioned ibe dominions
of the Grcok emperors at Constanti
nople had been impoverished by the In
vasion of the Frank Crusaders, and the
chief part of Asia Minor, with Its flouf
iBhing cities, had been wrested from
the Byzantine monarchs by conquering
Isham; yet the annual Income of the
successors of Constantinople amounted
to $650,000,000. The revenues of the Sul
tan's empire havo shrunk to $90,000,000
per' rear. Such is the blight which
Turkish mlBrule has brought upon soma
of tho fairest regions of the earth.
