A lot ot old mariners were sitting on a pllo of freight at tho wharf spinning yarns ot the sea—not of sea serpents and hairbreadth escapes, but of the troubles they had had with Inexperienc ed crews.

There Is the sea all around, and In various shapes—a magnificent port In tho Golden Horn—a broad, winding river In the Bosphorus—and, again, with Its Islands and capes, aud open horizon, the Sea of Marmora, covered with ships of all sizes, and showing the greatest variety of flags I have ever seen. Iu its beauty I think I was disappointed; but not In its grand cur. Then, when you get Into It, there Is still plenty of Orlentul life to be seen; there nre crowds, partly In a state of tlio most perfect quiescence aud meditative repose, partly In a state of violent action—pushing, Jos tling, and especially screaming and yelling, with confounding energy; there are veiled women, shoveling and sliding along 111 their yellow boots; there are turbans, and kalpaes, and fezzes; there is also tho great estate of the dogs, the free and Independent dogs, who never get out of the way for man or liorsc. The Turks have been Europeanlzed of late, and there Is a stupid mongrel air about these crowds, and, with the exception of some old-fashioned, grave, proud-looklug, green and white tur bans, who disdain to show their re markably ugly legs In tight white pan taloons and straps, the Turks look like people who hardly know whether they are standing on their heads or heels, and tills, I believe, Is pretty much tha case with them.

WAHUINUTON, D.O THE PLACE CALLED EASY STREET. | Oh! what is tho way to Easy street—which turning shall I go? For many a day I've sought tho way that no one seems to know. How do you turn?—do you keep straight on and get there just the same, Or is it the ease that you find tho place by chanoe and happy luok? Borne say this and some say that, for every one I meet, Going it blind or searching to And, is look ing for Easy street. Easy stroot! Easy stroot! Tho stroot so hard to And! No sign boards show the routo to go savo tho ways that lio behind, But fortune's smile is worth tho while, so novor know defeat, When the very next turn for you may earn the way to Easy stroot. From little Queer street through Hard Times Court to the Highway of Success, Is the noare3t way, I'vo heard SDmo say, and it is true, I guess. So through Povorty Plaeo my way I traco (with Queer stroot left behind), But in Hard Times Court tho way's cut short—it ends in an alloy blind. In tho Lane of Chance I sometimes glance, but tho risk scorns all too groat. To turn and stray down its winding way and blindly follow fate. So, with courago high, I strive and try, seek ing with weary feot, My way to grope, nerved still with hope, tho way to Ea3y stroot! Easy street! Easy stroct! Whoro happy mortals dwell, Out of tho strife of work-day life and tho battloa of buy and soli. Wearing good clothes, having no foes, with life's good things roploto, Oh, happy fate! to dwell in state, at last, on Easy street! We will all of U3 livo on Easy stroot when things have gono our way, When fortune and fame shall attend our name and loisuro comes to stay, Through tho deed achieved wo'vo had our minds tho long last year or two; Giving us zest to finish tho rest of tho things we-arc-golng-to-do. With tho toil of those struggling days forgot, and in our happlnoss all complete, No trouble or caro will bother us there when wo livo on Easy stroot! Easy street! Easy stroot! Whoro the skies are ulways blue, And all of tho schomcs of our well-loved dreams are over coming true. Wo'll live at our ease and do as we plcnso aud And that life is sweet When through toil and pain at last wo gain our way to Easy street! —Puek. JEAN'S HOUR OF TRIUMPH. psSgl HEY all said it l||y could uot bo done ; s |ijf that is, all but Joan. She insisted that it could, even WT/jf though Jack "STUfc' UJ ranged himself on the side of thoso who called her scheme impractic able and foolish. And Jaok was uie young fellow, a telegraph operator, to whom she was to bo married the next week. When marriage was seriously dis cussed as the end of their long oourt ship, it had boon suggested that they should either live with Joan's father— Jaok's folks being in Connecticut—or take a couple ot pleasant furnished rooms until they saw their way to go to housekeeping. Thon it was that Jean gave tho first curious proof of her woman's impracticability. "No," she said, "I want to go to housekeeping as soon as wo are mar ried." "So do I," said Jack, "but how are wo to manago it? Sotting up house keeping means turning your rooms into a kitchen." "No, I den't moan that sort of makeshift housekeeping," interrupted Joan. "I mean taking a small Hat, furnishing it, and beginning life as housekeepers on our own nooouut." Jaok laughed rather uneasily. "It's all very well to talk of furnish ing," ho said, "but you know very well, Joan, I haven't any money for furnishing a flat, and I'm euro you haven't." "Well, I don't know aboat that," said Jean. "You koop what little you've got saved up, Jack, aud add to it as much as you can, dour. I'll furnish the flut." "You?" "Yes, sir, I. I'vo got SIOO saved up, and with SIOO I'll furnish a flat of four rooms—parlor, bedroom, dining room and kitohen—and I'll furnish it so nicely that wo'll neither of us bo ashamed to ask onr friends to visit us in it." At this Jack burst out laughing, and thought it was so good a joko that he told the old folks, and they had groat sport at Jean'B oxpenso. "That's all right," said Jean. "I don't road tho newspaper advertise ments and look into storo windows and visit bargain couutors for nothing. I want to tell you folks that right hero iu Now York you can furnish four rooms comfortably, nicely and neatly for SIOO. "Yos," said her mother, "with a lot of second-hand stuff." "No," ropliod Joan, "I mean with all now, good material; aud without especially hunting for bargains, either." "Well, now, look here, my girl," said her father, "inuybo you're right, inuybo you're wrong. bertain it is that things are wonderfully cheap nowadays, but $lO0 —my, but that's a small sum to do anything with in New York. Now, see hero, Jean, I'll toll you what I'll do. You go ahead, piok out yonr four-room flat with Jack, and then if you furnish it for SIOO so that it looks neither poor nor cheap, why, I'll givo you anothor hun dred dollars, just to cultivnto home talent, on the presentation of a re oeipted bill for every artiolo in the apartment." "I'll do it," said Joan, stoutly, "and, more than that, I'll do it in throo days, and I won't ask a cent's worth of assistance or advice from any of you—not even of Jaok." That was on Sunday. Tho flat was found by Wodnesday afternoon, and they saw very littlo of Jean for the next three days. She was very quiet and very tired oaoh evening, but her mother took oharge of her simple trousseau so as to give her some rest ing time, and on Saturday evoning when they had all sat down to ton Jean said very quietly that sho should bo very glad if they would go over with hor to Fiftieth street to see her houso. They saw that she was rather ner vous, and so spoke of other things as they wnlkod over from Sixth aveDue. When thoy readied tho flat house, Jean, who knew the value of effect, asked the janitor if ho wonld not light np for hor beforo sho took her people up stairs, and tho janitor, who had been taken largely into her ooufldenoe, and was not a bit like most janitors, willingly ran ahoad to attend to tho illumination. It had been a week's hard work of finding and fitting for Joan, but she was amply repaid when she saw tho look of surprise which tho folks wore when they walked into herparlor grow into ono of wonder as thoy passod into the bedroom, and deepen into ODO of amazement as they saw tho dining room and kitchen. "Well, I must say it beats me," said Jeau's mother, while her father pulled hard at his cigar and felt for tho check in his vest pocket as ho waikod from room to room, and Jack gave her a hug right beforo thorn all, and said ho always knew sho was a wonder. "Now, thon, my girl," said hor father, when thoy hail mado tho grand tour, "tell no how you did it all." So Joan took thorn to the parlor, and while tho others sat down sho moved around, pointing out each thing, BIIOW man fashion. "Those curtains," sho began, "are, of course, imitation Nottingham, but tho pattern is copied from the real article nnd thoy aro good enough to begin with. The two jmirs cost $3, and tho poles and rings, which I put up myself from tho janitor's step ladder, cost twenty-five cents a set. This bookoase, oak with movablo shelves, cost $2 ; tho books are mine and the drapery is from an old cropo neokerchiof. That table in tho oentro cost $2.48, without the work basket, of course, which used to bo yoars, mother. The smaller two of those three pioturos, which aro imitation etchings in real white frames, cost thirty-niuo cents apiece; whilo tho larger ones, which is a good photo gravure of a masterpiece, cost sixty nine cents, polished oak framo and all. Tho three rockers which you are sit ting in, one plush seated, ouo with a cobbler's seat, and the other a Shaker pattern, oost just $7, and the draper ies are my fichus. The two-cane bot tom ohairs cost ninety-eight cents apiece. The ornaments on the cabinet mantelpieoe, imitation Venetian glass and imitution Japanese vases, made, I bolieve, in Birmingham, cost $1.04. As to the matting, I may as well tell you now that it took sixty yards to cover tho three rooms aud tho bath room, with several scraps left over. In the parlor and bedroom I used a forty-yard roll, which cost mo $3.57, while tho dining room took one twenty-yard roll, which oost $2. The reason why I put the better matting in the diuing room is because I knew tho thin matting would pull up with tho rolling of the tablo and pushing of heavy chairs over it. Besides which, you sec, I have covered a good deal of the matting here—which is cotton warp, mind you—with these two J apanoso rugs which I got at a bargain at $1.93, nnd this hearthrug, which is not tho real thing, of ooursu, but which looks Persian, and cost me just $1.61. Tho portiorcs between tho bodroom nnd parlor cost $3.23, al though I could havo got a pair with out tho fringo for $2.97. Aud now, pray what do you think of my par lor?" "Very pretty, frosli looking, and nice," said her mother. "Good enough for me," said her father. 3 [Jack,"without so much as by your leave, gave hor another hag. "Now, then, tho bedroom," said Jean, drawing nsido tho portieres. "First I thought I would get an oak set, but when 1 snw there was running water here aud that tho washstaud would not ho nooded I very gladly changed my mind aud bought this white iron bed with brass trimmings for $5.98, which included tho spring mattress. Tho fibro mattress cost 53.48. Tho blankets (Saxony) 1 pickod up for 98 oonts. Tho sheets and pil low cases—aud see, mother, thero are four more of oaoh in tho closet hero— I bought for $3.62 for tho half dozon of each. My towels, ouo dozon, cost sl.lO. Those two chairs cost 60 cents apiece. Tho bureau cost $0.65, and tho mirror is good American French plate, with real antique rings to tho drawers of tho very latest design. Those two l-ngs cost 84 cents, aud this tabid with tho sprawly logs cost 69 conts. Oh, the counterpane cost 95 oonts, and you know Aunt Franc prom ised mo hor ornzy quilt for 'dress-up.' "My dining room noarly broko my heart," said Joan, loading tho way to that apartment. "X thought suro I should havo to go beyond my limit. Howevor, by dint of following up cer tain newspaper leads, running my foot off, and by a happy thought 1 man aged it." Tho clevor young woman had had the tablo set with a light luncheon, and it was while sitting down to this that tho rest of the inventory was gono over. "This table, which has threo other leaves to it, I would lmvo you know," said Jean. "cost mo 87.80. The four ohairs in which we are seated cast (no $2.10, real Cordova leather from Philadelphia, and nil. These tum blers only cost seventy-five cents a dozen, and there aro plenty that are cheaper, only I do like n thin glass to drink out of, and 1 know you all do. I got two damask table cloths for $1.40, and one dozen napkins, quite fair ones, only they're a little stiff, you know, for ninety-nine cents, one of those cunning prioes whero you jußt miss tho dollar. Spoons I hod. For crockery I bought a very neat porcelain tea set for $5.46, and I added six dinner plates, six soup platos, two platters and two vogetable dishes for $4.48. I was in despair over a sideboard till I recollooted that there was anothor cabinet rnantel piooo here, so I determined to make that do, together with a plain table, which cost mo $1.25 —that ouo over there with tho red cloth on it I mean, tho cloth, I should tell you, costing just thirty cents." "By the way, Jean," snidJack, "who laid your matting?" "The janitor and I," said Jean, proudly. "I paid him a dollar for helping me, and gave his wife an old dress to pay for the tacks. My kit chen, as you see, is very simply fur nished, and X intend to keep it so. Tho stove cost $4, utensils $5.54, and the table and chair just $2. Fortun ately, there aro stationary washtubs, and, as tho floor is painted, I don't see any need to cover it, and," con cluded Jean, with a whimsical smile, "I don't know that I should have been able to, even if I had wantod to. And so, dad, thore's my $100; now whore's yours?" "Well, I must say, my girl," said her father, "you've dono wonders. But a bargain's a bargain, you know. Let's see tho recipted bills first." "Here they are," said Jean, bring ing out a buudlo of papers, very much thumbed and very much covered with calculations in irregular pencil fig ures. So down thoy sat agnin, and, whou tho old man had called out oach item and Jack had set it down, thoy made up tho following summary: Parlor $23 01 Bedroom 24 G2 Dining room 00 32 Kitchen , 1161 Matting and laying 6 57 Portiores between parlor and bedroom. 325 Just as they were about to cast up tho addition Jeau's mother cams in from tho kitohen with a look of mis chief upon her face. "Tho landlord has provided wash tubs," sho said, "but I don't see that he has put in a refrigerator." At that Jean turned pale, aud sho began to tremble a little, "Oh dear, oh dear," she cried. "I do declare I forgot the refrigerator." And when she saw failure boforo her, and knew she was wrecked in port, she laid her head on Jack's shoulder quito distrossfully. But her father came bravely to her res cue. "Hold herd a minute," ho cried, "you're all right, Jean. You've mudo a mistake hero. You've only spent $99.99 and I'll sell yon our old re frigerator for a cent and bo glad to get anything for it." And than he added this item: One refrigerator 01 Total for furnishing four rooms and bath $100.05 "Well for sure," he said, "that $101) has gone further than any hun dred I ever heard of. But tho best of it is," ho addod, "that anybody in New York enn do the same thing. Here's your other hundred, Jean."— New York Sun. A Cough That Slew Thousands. Beccnt history proves to us that it was a cough that was mainly responsi ble for the irainonso amount of blood shed that attended the coup d'etat whereby Napoleon 111 obtained his throne. Tho field marshal in charge of the military operations was unwill ing to assume tho direct responsibility of or.loriog tho troops to fire upon tho people. So when tho moment of ac tion arrived, and tho mob began to show signs of sweeping the troops, the generals under his orders sent an of ficer to him at headquarters for in structions. Just as the Hold marshal was about to respbnd ho was seized with n violent fit of coughing, which lasted several moments. When at length ho ceased, ho managed to gasp tho words, "Ma sacree touzl" ("My cursed cough!") The offioor waited to hear no more, but returned post hastotohis superiors with tho news that Baint-Arnaud had said, "Massa crcz touz r'C'Mussaoro everywhere?") These commands being carried out, thousands of peoplo wero shot aud bayoneted in consequence. Barbaric Splendor ola Modern Prince.
