A Turkish Dinner.

Having no lady to look after, the
guest need stand on no ceremony
indeed, he need not stand at all. He
crosses his legs upon the cushion which
is spread for him, takes his spoon in
one hand and his SerUiette In the other,
and without word waits till the dishes
come. Presently attendants bring a
huge round tray upon which there is a
large bowl of soup, together with a
little plate and one knifs and fork for
each guest. There are, beside, several
tiny dishes, upon which are displayed
weetmeats, pickles, caviare, and olives,
some pieces of bread complete the
array. Fer moment the diners regard
the tray, and, perchance, taste an olive
or a sweet. But the chief of the table,
if he be an intelligent person, does not
waste much time. With a wave of his
hand to encourage his friends, he dips
his spoon into the soup-bowl, conveys
the rich gravy to his mouth, and this is
at once initiated by all his guests. This
dipping goes or until the bowl is emp
ty, when another dish makes its ap-
pearance, consisting of some sort of
hash. Then come outlets and fowls,
which are eaten with the fingers. And
now comes the critical moment for you,
If you are present at this feast as a
stranger. You, as o European, will
have placed your meat OH your plate,
and will be carefully cutting 1t up,
when suddenly more than ordinarily
juicy morsel will be pushed into your
mouth by pair of very greasy fingers.
You must not resent this it Is token
of loving kindness, sign that you are
respected, esteemed, beloved. Eat IL;
you are favored mortal. Vegetables
and pastry succeed, followed by pastry
and "pillaw." Then water Is poured
over your hands, coffee and cigarettes
come, and your dinner is finished.

What He Saw in Switzerland.

He is to be pitied, is the common
place tourist; he loses so much. When
he comes home his descriptions are
somewhat like those given to friend
of mine when he was little boy by a
newly returned traveller:
"And did you see Switzerland, and
what was it like?" asked the boy
breathlessly.
switzerland, boy Yes, boy; Switz.
erland is just gayv'
Appalled, by this incongruous adj
iective the boy tried again, in the hope
of obtaining moreimplicit information
eyes, and did you see the Alps, and
how did they look?"
"The Alps, boy? Yes boy, saw The
Alps; and now l tell you, boy, the
Alps are just GAY"
There was an increased emphasis In
the enunciation of this second gay
which promised well; so the boy
pricked up his ears and made fna
trial.
"And tell me, sir, did you-did yor
see Mount Blanc, and how did 1t look p
"Mount Blanc, boy? Yes, boy, saw
Mount Blanc; and now, boy, tell you
what 1t is, boy, Mount Blanc is just
GAYw
There was a whole collection Of ava.
lanches and thunders and lightning'
in this last "gay," but 1t did not satisfy
tho child wha rptirad 1iapOmfttpd from
these futile attemps to draw descrip-
