THE BULTAV8 rKEASUKES. t
If you are in Constantinople, and
the Sultan intimates that it would
give him pleasure to open the doors
of the treasury for your inspection
you should not lose the opportunity.
It is a privilege not easily obtained.
Through the "August Gate," within
the walla of the old seraglio, you can
penetrate; over the lawns and
around the trees of the janizaries
you can wander: but at the "Gate
of Health" a Turkish guard demands
your firman a talisman without
which all entreaties are useless. If,
after waiting, this firman is brought
in by an aide-de-camp of the Sultan,
what was civility becomes deference.
The guards who a moment ago
waved you aside that a black eu
nuch might pass and be saluted, now
present arms to you, and another
eunuch, a tall white fellow comes,
forth to receive his highness' com
mand. ,
To the treasury is but a step, and
whence all those attendants sudden
ly spring is surprising. You are
not, as you imagined, alone with the
aide-de-camp and the white eunuch,
for here are twenty or more guardi- j
ans of the treasury rarged on either
side of the massive doors- The cer
emony of entering is in itself im
posing. The locks aie elaborate and
the mechanism intricate. The chief
of the guards unlocks one bo!t,which
he hands to a man on bis right A
padlock he gives to an assistant on
tne left, then distributes one piece
after another of the ponderous com
bination.
The door is thrown ooen. and the
treasury is before you. At the erf
trance stands the famous throne,
which in 1514 was captured from the
shah of Persia, And it is here that
you utter your first exclamations of
wonder and admiration-etpressions
of feeline which increase in intensity
as your eyes rest on the dazzling
display, until words and thoughts
fail to convey even to yoursell any
estimate oi the wealth about you.
This throne is nerhaDS three feet
high and about the same across, and
is one mass of diamonds, emeralds,
rubies and turquoises. Over it is
suspended a golden egg ot more
than a foot in diameter, and this
egg sparkles and glitters with the
treciou8 stones with which it is
studded. In the crises on every
hand are rare treasures. Diamonds
are every where-quarta of diamonds ;
there are turquoises around and be
tween the diamonds pecks of tur
quoises ; and this is no exaggeration
There are emeralds of such wonder
ful size and value as to be beyond
estimate. In two cases there are
two emeralds, one the size of a man's
clenched hand, the other flat and as
large as a band extended. There
are sword hilts of solid emeralds.
The famous jewel of Bangkok must
be overshadowed in comparison.
To realize the pearls, imagine
table cover of beautiful pattern and
exquisite embroidery jind theu fancy
that there had been a hril of pearls
ten minutes and that they have all
clung to this cover. That would be
one piece of tapestry, and there are
scores of them hanging in this room
and tne peans are as large as peas.
That was bead work in the reign of
some Ottoman ruler.
There are gems in bulk ; rare old
china vases filled to the brim with
huge emeralds; Japanese tureens
overflowing with magnificent pearls;
decorated plates heaped up vtith
corsl beads like ripe cherries ; gold
en salvers blazing with the light of
hundreds of immense diamonds;
and scattered about with a lavish
hand lie the pale and beautiful tur
quoises like blooming flowers, an
unpretending bed for all this won
drous beauty.
There is a cradle in which ten sul
tans have rocked and whose every
motion sent forth rays as brilliant
as tue glory ol their career ; their
little school bags hang here and
still shimmer in their crust of gems.
Diamonds, diamonds everywhere
is the glitter of the diamonds. Sure
ly they must have been guardians
of the treasury who first dreamed of
the "Arabian ihta." Presents
from foreign magnates rival each
other in value and splendor. Here
is another jeweled throne, and over
it hang a ruby and an emerald of
fabulous sine. An Indian rajah's
gift, a marvel of beauty, is in height
lour inches only, but in design most
exquisite. - .
A rajah is seated on a throne, and
over the throne is a canopy ; in front
is a slave. The body of the rajah is
a single pearl ; the waist and trunk
ol the slave of another pearl of cun
ous suape, me legs and arms are
solid masses of diamonds. The ef
fect is beyond description. You
feel such surroundings ; you cease to
talk what indeed can you say?
1 urn as you will, the diamonds Hash
at you, the rubies fire at you, the
pearls soothe you, and the whole in
toxicates you. You see the aide-de
camp smiling, but proud of his sul
tan's treasures, the accumulated
treasure of over thirty rulers of the
great Ottoman empire, nun an
odd mixture of half-formed thoughts
you pass into another room. A gol
den column confront you, a model
01 me lrajan monument, over six
feet in height and eight inches in
diameter; it is imposing but doet
not surprise you. iou are prepar
ed to see walls and floors of solid
gold vou almost expect it. Over
your bead hang gold bird cages with
cioces at tneir base. as is proper
ana becoming, tne hours are indi
cated by diamond figures.
You mount to the gallery and
look at the original costumes of
score of dead rulers. The robes are
magnificently embroidered, the tur
oans are immense, diamonds are
tangled in the plumes.and the sword
hilts are single gems. The older the
date the richer the dress, but all
with turbans and robes, until the
thirteenth sovereign adopts the fez
and red trousers im ose to-day. i
There is yet another room of equal
splendor. Your bewilderment in
creases aa you move on, and when
at last you are bowed out by those
grave watchmen, you wonder if they
are not all sultans, and if you have
not been dreaming.

I never buy a horse with a low,
narrow forehead. Such a forehead
belongs to all vicious horses, kick
ers.lad runaways etc. in fact,every
vice is found in a horse with a low,
narrow forehead, and never in the
opposite. In the high and broad
forehead we have a predominating
cerebrum or intellectual brain. In
the low and narrow forehead we
have the predominating cerebellum
or low brain. Never buy euch horses
on any account
Suspending a sack (or anything
else) behind a horse to prevent
kicking is worse than ridiculous.
Such an act is quite contrary to the
commonest grooming, and in every
point illogical. I have seen a bas
ket tried instead of a sack. It ruined
the animal. There is no education
or training in euch a foolhardy act
Nothing is more true than the
fact that the kind of bit used on a
horse has very much to do with his
conduct Many horses will be fret
ful and unsteady with a chafing,
sharp bit, that would otherwise be
gentle and pleasant with a less
severe one. A sharp severe bit is
not the subduer of a horse's temper
by any means. It does quite often
excite many bad habits and un
pleasant acts in a horse, which
would be dormant if otherwise treat
ed. No horse requires eo good and
thorough a breaking as the family
horse. A good family horse is one
of the most valuable in the horse
market at all times. Much of
the famiiv's comfort and safety de
pends upon the qualities of the fam
ily horse. Ivone but a thoroucniy
broken, good-tempered animal
should be used for a family horse.
There ft no question in my mind
as to the correctness of the assertion
that a medium sized horse is in
every respect the be6t for the farmer.
He will do more work and last lon
ger, and can be used occasionally
for a roadster without injury.
An habitual rolling horse should
have either a loose box or a narrow
stall. A horse in a box stall would
not be much better off than in an
ordinary stall if tied. He should
be loose. All horses in box stalls
should be loose, as the name of a
box stall suggests this.
How to Kill Mottia.
The destruction of moths is one
of the greatest vexations which care
ful housekeepers nave to contend
with, and their depredations are not
to be remedied after they have once
made inroads. Houses heated by
furnaces are especialy predisposed to
have moths, but every housekeeper
muat be on the watch for them, for,
from the time that the wiudows
begin to be left open, the trouble
begins. Heavy carpets sometimes
do not require taking up every year,
unless in constant use. Take out
the tacks from these, fold the carpets
back, wash the floor in strong suds
with a tablexpoonful of borax dis
solved in them. Dash with insect
powder or lay with tobacco leaves
along the edge and retack. All
moths can he kept away and the
eggs destroyed by this means. In
grain or other carpets, after shaking,
are brightened by sprinkling a pound
of Bait over the surface and sweeping
carefully and thoroughly. It is also
an excellent plan to wipe off the
carpet with borax water, using a
thick flannel cloth wrung tightly,
taking care not to wet but only to
dampen. Open the windows and
dry the carpet before replacing the
furniture. Other woolens, including
blankets and wearing apparel,must
be beaten and brushed and folded
smoothly. Be careful to clean every
spot with ammonia water, not too
strong and a dark woolen cloth.
Tie pieces of camphor into little
bundles and put one ia each arti
cle. Wrap the articles in newspa
pers, as printers' ink ia a good pre
ventive of moths, and sew them up
in strong sheeting bags, labeled, so
it will not be necessary to open them
during the summer, except for use.
This is a good way for those who
do not possess cedar boxes, and the
articles need have no other care if
eery spot is treated as directed and
the garments are not left hanging in
the closet too long before putting
away lor the season.
To Destroy Vermin on Cattle.
The New York Times says :
"There two effectual means of ex
terminating these vermin, carbonic
acid and sulphur. The old-fashioned
remedy, mercurial ointment, i3
too dangerous to use, except in ex
perienced hands, and then may do
more harm than good, by absorp
tion through the skin. Carbolic
acid in the proportion of one part
to 100 of warm, soapy water, is the
safest and easiest remedy. The af
fected parts should be thoroughly
washed with the mixture and dried
with a soft cloth, and if a mixture
of one part of the carbolic acid with
fifty parU of raw liDseed oil or sweet
lard, is then applied to the skin and
well rubbed into the hair or wool,
nothing further need be done except
in bad cfts. A common applica
tion, and a good one, is a mixture of
lard, one part of kerosene oil and
one part of sulphur, well rubbed in
to the skin and hair. But something
internal is required and there is
nothing better than a warm com
forting mess of linseed or oat meal
gruel given once a day, and a belly
ful of good clover hay, with half a
pint of corn meal. ' This will make
new creatures of the suffering ani
mals, whether they are cows or oxen,
or calves or sheep.

Potatoes should be dug as soon as
the tops have fairly ripeued and
died down. They make but little
growth after that, and what they do
make is at the expense of their eat
ing quality. If the cellar is dark
and cool they may be stored for
winter use, and will keep in much
better condition the re than remain
ing undug in the ground. If the
cellar is unfit to keep them in dur
ing the summer months they may
be kept in a pit in the ground, tak
ing care that the pit ia ao located as
to be cool, and that no water can en
ter into it either from above or from
springs below. If the potatoes are
not put into barrels before pitting,
the sides of the pit should be lined
with straw, and in either case it
should be ventilated by a pipe, or
an air passage, in which is a bundle
of straw. It is needless to say that
the potatoes should be dry. and free

A Kative Feats la Tabic
The native feast is so unlike any
thing within our own experience,
that it might as well be described
here. One was given to us by me
German Consul General, but was
entirely arranged and gotten up by
Kanakas, .being conaucted into
the grounds of his spacious garden
we found a rustic pavilion, built for
the occasion ; banana trunks served
as UDriehts. decorated with vines
and flowers. The roof was made of
cocoanut leaves, which were inter-
. . . . . , un
woven and kepi online sun. n
had nothing but mother earth and
cocoanut mats for a table, but the
cloth was a beautiful composition of
theva (banana) and hibiscus leaves ;
these also served for plants and dish
es and napkins. At each cover there
was a cocoanut, opened, lull oi its
milk to drink, a bowl of grated
cocoanut flavored with salt ana
moist, in lieu of bread ; a bowl con
taining a white sauce ol cocoanut
salt water and shrimp, which gave
a most delicious flavor to everything
dipped into it nd one is expected
to do this with all the eatables from
A to Z. There was further a cocoa
nut bowl containing water to clean
the natural knives and forks, viz.,
the fingers. The sitting down was
done native fashion crossing the
legs, like a Turk, a feat quite diffi
cult to accomplish without using the
hands, but the native will do it
moBt gracefully. The cooking had
been done near by in a native oven.
This is a hole dug in the ground, in
which stones are heated. Upon these
the eatables are cooked. The whole
is covered with leaves and earth,
iuet like a clam bike. There were

Birds Farced la lake oa'lela.
"He's eot a sore eye," was the ex
planation of a clerk in a bird store
who was carrying a little green
squawking parrot He cleaned it
with a stick, and the parrot strug
gled to get away, uttering most dole
ful cries, but was firmly held until
sufficiently treated, and was then
put back in its cage, where it sat
and sobbed and moaned pitifully.
"We don't have many such cases to
care for, and it's a good thing, for
they are hard to manage. A sore
eye is always dangerous, because we
can't always be sure how it should
be treated. Besides it spoils the val
ue of the bird. Nobody wants to

has a very bad eye is apt to forget
how to talk. Parrots 8eem almost

unless it is very painful, and then
they resist, just like the rest of the
animal creation.
Other birds act differently. Wild
birds will not take medicine. You
have to force it down, duck them
under water when they won't bathe.
stuff the food down their throats
when they won't eat, and so on,
Canaries dislike doctoring, but are
more intelligent and take it more ea
sily than other birds. Bobolinks are
like them, only more obstinate, and
mocking birds will sometimes die
of sulleness rather than take drugs
They are hardy, stronger, and rarely
sick. Red birds, though, are more
delicate, and so wild they won't
take medicine."
Five Days In Ajrony.
Marshal. 111.. Aue. 18. One of
the most horrible cases of suffering
on record is reported from Mckeon
six' miles east of here. On the Gth of
the month Davis Black, aged eleven
years, was thrown from a horse and
his arm broken in two places. An
unskillful physician set it leaving
one of the bones protruding through
the flesh. Mortification set in and
soon spread to the child's shoulder
and body.
After suffering the most awful
agonies for five days and having his
arm nearly eaten away by worms
the sufferer died Sunday night, and
the remains were buried at once.

The busiest time in an African vil

die is the rule. The stores them
selves in a small South African vil
lage are not the least remarkable fea
ture about it Almost everything
that the wit of man can devise for

for the sportsman, and a box of pep
permint for the young kindred. The

istrate. A.mid all the gossip of the
village I have rarely heard political
matter discussed. If the Civil Com

generally on the subject of a dispu

A Tearful Lightning Bolt.
Tor Cajetani is a little commune
of the Frosinore jurisdiction, near
Rome. On the 24th of July a par
ty of farmers, men and women, were
threshing corn on the threshing floor
in front of the farm of Mr. Ascani,
at that place. This spot was on the !
top of a high h'll, surrounded by
rocks and precipices. There is no
house on the premises, only a little
hut looking like a eentry box at a
distance. About sunset a furious
storm burst upon the company of
threshers. The email building could
hardly hold five persons comfortably
in the upper room, and five or six
more in the lower one, which is a
sort ot grotto. The laborers, Doth
men and women, hussied to obtain
whit shelter there was, and those
who got in the building were packed
like sardines in a box. A board was
held over the door to keep out the
wind and rain by the shoulders of
the men. Many who oould not find
room inside stood with their backs
against the wall outside, under the
gutters of the little roof.
Suddenly a bolt of lightning
"truck the little house, tearing the
roof and smashing the door. The
thirty-eight persons who had squeez
ed inside were all prostrated. Thir
teen were killed and twenty-five
badly injured.
What Did the Womrn Wear?
It a remarkable fact that the pet
ticoat was first worn by men, and
that even in this age and generation
men are loth to discard its flowing
drapery. And we do not wonder this
is so. There is a dignity in drapery,
as well as grace and elegance. When
Henry VIII went to meet Anne of
Cleves he was habited, we read, "in
a coat of velvet made somewhat like
a frock, embroidered all over with
flatted gold of damaske, with small
laced mixed between, of the same
gold, and other laces going traverse
wise, that the ground little appear
ed ;" and in a description of a simi
lar garment belonging to his father,
Henry VII, we read of its being dec
orated with bows of ribbons, quite
as a belle of the present day would
adorn a ball-room dress. It is well
known that the garment was at first
not alone a skirt but, as the name
denotes, a little coat We have on
ly to look at Shakespearan charac
ters to discover the skirls of men.
And easily enough we trace them
down through the ages, in the in
ventory of the effects of Henry V
appears a. "petti coat of red damask
with open sleeves.

Hackettstown, N. J., August 22.
At 12 oclock la8t night Luther
Smith, a ced IS years, aroused Con
stable Morgan at Rockaway and de
livered himself into his hands, say
ing he had killed his father, Thomas
bmith, a farmer, aged forty-hve. liv
ing at U bite Meadows. Develop
ments to-day show a shocking do
mestic tragedy.
The family, consisting ot father.
mother, son and daughter, engaged
in a game of dominoes and while
playing the father became incensed
at a play by his little daughter, who
was iiis partner. He possessed a
quick temper and soon became ex
ceedingly angry. He struck the
child and when his wife tried to
pacify him struck her with a cane.
The son interfered and was knocked
down. Before he could get up the
father was beating the family. The
boy retreated to a bed room-, and
when his father followed with a
heavy stick he seized a revolver and
shot him dead. Smith has been re
garded as a dangerous mac, owing
to his violent disposition.
Cura for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen, caus
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptons of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom
ach, ect A moisture, like perspira
tion, producing a very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is a com
mon attendant Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap
plication of Dr. Bosanko'a Pile Rem
edy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected,absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and ef
fecting a permanent cure. Price 50

Bloody Work of a Madman.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 23. A
Salem (Ind.) special reports a ter
rible case of drunker! madness. Fred
Berkey, Jr., a son of one of the lead
ing citizens ot tne place, while in
toxicated appeared on the street and
began an indiscriminate fusilade.
He fired nine shots, aiming at what
ever happened to be in range.
Laura Klerner received two balls,
one in the wrist and one in the
shoulder; William McCIanahan was
shot through the hand ; W. S. Per
cise sustained a flesh wound in the
thigh ; Jordan Payne received a ball
through the body just below the
heart and will probably tlie. Payne,
when shot, was in a buggy 'with
companion. Dragging Pavne from
the buggy Berkey compelled the
other man to drive on and attempt
ed to escape. Finding this impossi
ble he placed a pistol to hw head
and fired, killing himself. No cause
is kDown for the bloody work except
that ISerker was completely mad
dened by the liquor he bad ewollow
ed.

throats of those that cannot swallow
they will flap their wings and crow
