TUFKEY'S RULER DIFFERS WIDELY FROM THE CURRENT CONCEPTION. nf* Droits and Habits—The Domestic Af fections Are Very Strong— He Enjoys a Joke—Conveys an Impression of Picturesque Dignity. Sidney Whitman, F. R. G. S., lias written for Harper's Monthly an inti mate view of Turkish life in the high circles of Constantinople, exposing misrepresentations and false concep tions current in Christian countries. Mr. Whitman says: I have often seen it stated in print that the Sultan of Turkey wears a habitual expression of melancholy— in other words, that his main charac teristics are sadness and nervousness. Neither my own experience, nor the testimony of others best in a po sition to form a reliable opinion, bear this out, although the tragic circum stances under which he came to the throne, very much against his will, may well have left their impress on his memory. The Sultan's is au ex ceedingly sensitive nature. He is a man in whom the domestic affections are very strong. Thus a blow, such s the recent loss of a daughter, might well have had a cruel effect on him— as only those can understand who have loved and lost children of their own. But Ido not believe that the Sultan's temperament is one of habit ual melancholy. On the contray, I know that his Majesty enjoys a joke and a laugh as heartily us ever did Martin Luther, even though it must be admitted that the nature of some of the doughty Reformer's jokes would scarcely suit the refined taste ot the Caliph of the Mohammedans. No, I repeat, the tale of the Sultan's habitual melaucholy, as distinct from a certain grave seriousness, is a myth. It would, indeed, be nothing to be wondered at if he were occasionally in a serious mood. There are monarchs besides the Sultan whose humor is not always couleur de rose. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" is not a Mohammedan proverb. But the Sul tan's now universally admitted strength of purpose; his truly phenomeual powers of work; his extreme abstin ence from every form of nervous stimu lant, except an occasional cigarette and cup of coffee—all this is, the reader will admit, totally irreconcilable with the idea that he could possibly bo of a morbidly nervous disposition. As to the Sultan's working habits: I have known him to be at work at live in the morning, and keep a whole staff of secretaries going at that hour who had slept overnight on couches in the rooms in tho palace they habitually work in. Munir Pacha, the imperial grand master of ceremonies, and one of the most kindly, distinguished men it is possible to meet, once said to me: "There is one characteristic of his Majesty which conveys a constant lesson to us all: it is his extraordinary self-control—his impassive calm. It is almost sublime. No contrariety, no trial, seems able to ruffle his perfect self-possession. It is truly marvelous." The prepossessing impression which the Sultan iR universally admitted to produce on those who are privileged to come into contact with him is doubt less in part duo to that charm of man ner, that quiet dignity so free from angular self-assertion, which is more or less characteristic of all well-bred Turks. But in his case it is supple mented by a pleasing smile, and an unusually sympathetic voice, tho notes of which always seem to convey a pleasant impression, even to the stranger who is unable to understand what his Majesty has said until it is translated by the interpreter. The Sultan usually gives audiences on Fri day after the ceremony of the Selam lik, when he wears a Turkish general's uniform, with the star of the Imtiaz Order in brilliants hung from his neck. As he sits in front of you, with his hauds resting on tho hilt of his sword before him, and you watch him speak to Munir Pacha in his quiet, dignified way, you cannot resist the impression of his picturesque dignity. • On other occasions his dress is sim plicity itself, scarcely differing from that of his secretaries and other offi cials. He wears a black frock-coat, cut in Turkish fashion, which just hides a white waistcoat with a gold watch-chain. The only other jewelry is apt to bo a plain gold ring on the little finger of the right hand with a fair-sized ruby cut or polished en caboohou. It is customary to sit in the presence of tho Sultan after being requested to do so, but the native born Turk will only just sit on the very edge of the little gilt chair, and fold his arms across his chest, waiting for the Sultan to address him, aud then mutter in reply, while bending low and touching chest, lips and fore head with the right hand, "Firman Effendemizen" (Master, thy word is law). Killed by Too Much Pleasure. Andrew, the five-year-old son of Joseph Yidosh, of Pottsville, Penn., died very suddenly of excitement created by overjoy. His mother al lowed him to spend an hour or so sleigh riding. He came homo in ex hubereut spirits, and when his mother put him to bed he asked her to wake him up when his papa came home, as he had something to surprise him. When the father came home he and his wife tried to awaken their little boy, but their efforts wore useless. Little Andrew was dead. The physi cian called iu attendance ascribed his death to cerebral hemorrhage duo to overjoy. The little fellow's constitu tion was too weak to withstand the strain of excitement under which he had labored.—Philadelphia Press.

SWINDLE BROUGHT UP TO DATE. Cuban War Additions to an Old Trick ot G. C. Emerson, of the firm of Emer son & Haigue, wholesale tinsmiths, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was in Ot tawa, Canada, recently on his way to Spain. His journey ended there, however, and he returned to the prairie city a much wiser man. He had a narrow escape of being the vic tim of an old swindle. Mr. Emerson is a Norwegian and came to this country about twenty years ago, leaving only two relatives in his native country, a sister and n brother. The latter became a private in the Spanish Army. He has had any communication with his brother, but early last October he re ceived a letter from one Augustin La fuente, dated from "Castle Fort of Valentia," Spain. The writer asserted relationship by marriage with Emer son and requested protection for his daughter. The letter in parts read* as follows: "I am strictly watched by my en emies. I hope you will reveal to no body the most insignificant detail of this letter. Being a secretary and treasurer of Martinez Campos in the last war of Cuba, and deserving the confidence of such an illustrious man, paying me part of the money he made on his transactions, my fortune in creased, and I would have been happy had my protector continued at the end of the campaign, but no sooner was he replaced by General Weyler than my misfortune presented itself. I could not succeed in accompanying my benefactor to Spain, and it not being in my power to see Cuba ruled by an adversary, I joined the rebellion. Bub as we were the victims of the greatest treason, I was obliged to emigrate to England, taking with me all my valu ables and $185,000. Shortly after I arrived in London I received word that my wife had died, leaving my dear daughter in despair and without help. In this sad situation I found it necessary to go to Spain to help my daughter and take her out of the country. Before leaving, I consid ered it imprpdeut to take along with me so large a sum of money, and de cided to place it in the Bank of Eng land. I then started for Spain, where I was discovered by the military au thorities and condemned to ten years' penal servitude. I ask you to become tho protector of my daughter. I will give part of the money to you, and tho rest to my daughter." Mr. Emerson came to the conclusion that it was hiß sister's daughter on whose behalf the appeal was made. He therefore lost no time in replying to the letter and asked for further in structions. In time came a response, giving Mr. Emerson more details and stating that the writer was fast near ing tho end of his earthly career, and begging that his young daughter should at once be taken care of. It would be necessary for Mr. Emerson to forward S2OOO to secure from an other person the document on which to obtain from the Bank of England the $185,000. Mr. Emersom decided to start fbr Spain forthwith, but on his way stopped off at Ottawa te pro cure a passport. For that purpose he visited the Interior Department, where ho soon learned tho deception that had been practiced upon him. Letters of the same nature have been sent to several persons in Ottawa. A Danger Signal Out. A certain youth on the west side, who was quite devoted not long ago to a young woman of that section of the city, for some reason relaxed his attentions. The other day, however, he met the young women aud she asked him so cordially to call that he determined to go. So he sent her a note stating that if agreeablo he would como up on a certain night. He add ed that she would, of course, remem ber that her mother was not very fa vorably impressed with him, and if she objected on the present occasion to his call he wanted the daughter to be sure to liang out a green lantern on the porch. When he saw it he would make up his mind that a postpone ment of his call would be advisable. The letter was written in a half jok ing way and it amused the youug woman greatly. She showed it to her mother, to that lady's keen delight, for, as it appeared, the mother was no so unfavorably impressed as the young man imagined. Unfortunately the girl's brother hap pened to overhear the contents of the note, and he formed a wicked plan. On the eventful evening when the ardent youth came s winging up the street he suddenly stopped, horrified. There, on the porch rail, was a bright green lantern shining forth balefnlly. The young man walked by. Then ho turned and walked back again. The light was still there. He passed and repassed a half dozen timei, and then went home. And all this time the young woman was sitting in the parlor in her best finery, waiting for the youth to come. She treated him coldly when next they met, but he set matters right when he told her about the green lan tern. And she is only waiting for a chance to get even with that graceless broth er. — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Strange Funeral Custom*. In au interesting history of his parish, tho Rev. James Murray, of Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire, mentions that "amid the enjoyments of the people we must not fail to notice funerals;" and he calls attention to a curious custom which was prev alent in connection with them. It appears a sieve containing clay pipes filled with tobacco was handed round just before the cortege startet}. Then the mourners smoked, and when the kirkyard was reached, as the grave was being filled, each stepped solemnly forward and cast his pipe "among tftie mools."—Notes and Queries. i BT. .IACOBH OIL cures Rheumatism. !

When a man wishes to enlist in a silladar cavalry regiment he must pro vide himseli, says a writer in Cham bers's Journal, with ahorse, saddlery, a lance, (if his regiment are lanoers.) a sword, his uniform, and his trans port; or else he must be employed as a rider by some other person who is the happy possessor of all these neces saries. In the former case he is called a silladar, or the owner of an assami; and in the latter case a bargir, and his employer his silladar. A silladar draws pay for his assami and also for his own services. Thus, if a man owns two assamis, he draws two lots of horse pay and one lot of pay for himself, a corresponding amount to this last being paid to the man who rides his second horse—that is to say, to his bargir. In some regiments, until compara tively recently, it was quite usual for one man to own'ten or twelve assamis, or even an entire troop. More than this, it was not unusual for an assatni to he left by will to a man's wife or in fant child, in which case the executors employed a substitute (awas kidinat) to ride for the woman or child, thus enabling tho owner to draw horse pay. This practice is still common in some native Hindustan States. An Order ol' Journalists. A newspapor report from London says that the Rev. Lach Szyrma, a devout Episcopalian clergyman, is seriously agitating the founding of aa order of journalists, which is to be placad under tho special protection of the Apostle Paul. Tho clergyman argues that the press of tho day is ex erting a powerful influence over the world, and that tho formation of a so ciety of nowspaper editors and writers, with the noble aim of instructing the nations and of guiding them on the road of justice and universal brother hood, cannot fail to prove of incalcula ble benefit to the Christian Church and humanity. The physicians, says ' tho Rev. Mr. Szyrma, have St. Luke as their patron saint, and as St. Paul was the best reporterof ancient times, and the mighty logician and moralist of Scripture, he would be the best mediator for journalists between heaven and earth. It is proposed to licld an auuual reunion of newspaper workers in tho big Cathedral of St. Paul, where some eminent bishop is to deliver an annual address, and where prayers will be offered for the benefit of the newspaper fratornity. Whero Window Glass In a Luxury. Dawson is soon to be "Dawson City" in reality, says Consul McCook. One inußt take money in in order to bring money out of tho gold fields, capital being needed in developing. Many improvements have been made in Dawson. Window glass is scarce, a small light ten by twelve roadily bringing 82.50 or S3. Small fortunes have been made by parties who tool: supplies of glass and oil lamps. As 4 lamp commands from $lB to S2O in Dawson, and a five-cent package of carpet tacks will sell for seventy-five cents. One-half the buildings in Dawson to-day are without window glass. Pent ISrieka a Cheap Fuel. Consul Kehl, of Stettin, write? ol tho manufacture of briquettes from peat or turf. This fuel besides being very cheap has other merits. It is cleun, easily packed in bins, gives good heat, and in a closed stove with only a slight draft will remain in a glowing state for ten hours. Owing to crude machinery the cost of pro duction now (about $1.55 per ton) is greater than it will be when improved machinery is introduced. Briquettes manufactured from coal are .cheaper tbftu those of turf. © T ~ —R" < FE ; Effects (P'OfQ# I ©f the t^Mll ( Grip is a treacherous disease.

It is now uol&nowledgcd'by nil medical men that this little valve, called the epiglot tis, has effectively prevented the cure of Consumption and nlKieep-scated diseases of the respiratory organs for hundreds of years. It Is due to its presence at the entrance of the windpipe that all liquid medicines, no matter in what form they are administered or how minutely divided by sprays or atomizers, fire prevented from entering the bronchial tabes or lungs; yet, if It were uot for this little valve, liquids and food would enter these passages and cause instant strangulation nud death. The epiglottis is always open to permit the passage of air to the lungs, but so constructed that the slightest contraction of the throat i causes it to close over the opening to the windpipe, and prevent the least drop of moisture from entering the passages which lead to the lungs. Try to breathe and swallow at the same time and you will see how perfectly this little valve does its work. Is it any wonder, then, that the number of persons afflicted with Catarrh. Bronchitis and Consumption have steadily increased every year, and that the medical profession should have become excited over the discovery of a dry air germicide, the first over found, that can be car ried to all parts of the head, throat, and lungs in the air you breathe? No other treat ment or medicine has over created such a profound Interest among the doctors, and this interest Is being increased hourly by the wonderful recoveries made under their own eyes. Not alone among the medical profession has this been felt, but hundreds of thousands of men and women throughout the United States, through free treatments given, and influ enced by the knowledge that their money would be returned in case of failure, have tested this new remedy, been cured, and are to-day recommending "HYOMEI" to all their friends and acquaintances.
