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 III one hand and
his serviette in the other, ana without
word waits till the dishes come. Pres
entity attendants bring huge round tray,
upon which there is a large bowl Of soup,
together with little plate and one knife
and fork for each guest. There are be-
sides, several tiny dishes, upon which
are displayed sweetmeats, pickles, caviare
and olives; some pieces of bread complete
the array. For moment the diners re-
gard the tray, and perchance taste an
olive or sweet. But the chief of the
table, if he be an intelligent person, does
not waste much time. With wave of
bis hand to encourage his friends, he dips
his spoon into the soup bowl, conveys the
rich gravy to his mouth, and in this he is
at once initiated by all his guests. This
dipping goes on until the bowl is empty,
when another dish makes its appearance
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 pres
ont at this feast as q stranger. You as a
European. will have placed your meat on
your plate, and win be carefully cutting
it up, when suddenly more juicy morsel
viii be pushed into your mouth by pair
of juicy fingers. You must not resent
this; it is token of loving kindness, a
sign that you are respected, esteemed,
beloved. Eat it; you are favored NOR
tai. Vegetables and pastry succeed, fol-
lowed by pastry and ''pillaw." Then
water is poured oyer your hands, coffee
and cigarettes come, and your dinner is
finished

PROTECTED BY POISON.

In n recent lecture, Mr.. Francis Oar
way plants are protected from insects and
other dangers. Opium, stryehnine and
belladonna, he said, three of the most
deadly poisons, were all formed by plants
rs means of defense to preserve them
from cattle, &c. Acurious use was made
OF this poisonous property, as recorded
by Livingstone, who states that at one
place in South Africa the natives were in
the habit of catching ,heir zebras by
mashing up some poisonous plant in
their drinking places. Poppies are pro-
tected by poison from the attacks of
goats and probably other cattle. The
strycnine plant was good example of
the way in which poison was limited to
the part of the plant where it was needed.
Almonds were also protected by poison,
cultiyators generally sowing the bitter
king, as the sweet kind WAS eaten by
mice. Other plants were protected, not
by strong poisons, but by some aromatic
substance. The fennel, anise and cara
way seeds were examples of this, which
were not eaten by birds on that account.
The lime, which was protected by this
aroma, was able to grow wild and hold
its own anywhere, whereas the orange,
the citron and the olive required to be
carefully preserved and watched. The
mint was another example of plant
protected against cattle by this aromatic
principle. Flowers are often more aro-
matte than the leaves OF the plant on
which they grow, and owe to this prin-
ciple their safety from attack. and cater.
pillars viii even starve to death sooner
than eat the flowers of plant the leaves
OF which they eagerly devour. Water
plants are unprotected, for the reason
that water is protection enough. The
most peculiar protection, perhaps, was
that enjoyed by the common lettuce,
which, when priched, even by an ants
foot, spurted up a sticky juice, and en-
voloped the intruder, who, biting the
leaf from vexation, drew down upon
himself fresh shower Of cabbage wrath,
in which the unfortunate ant was drown
ed.

RUSKIN'S WIFE'S ARTIST LOVE.

DesirOus to have his young wlfe's pOr-
trait taken, Ruskins chose his friend
Millais, who, with Holman Hunt, Charles
Collins, Dante Rossetti and others,
formed, and still form, the pre-Raphae-
lite school, to transfer her features to
canvas. She gave the painter number
of sittings, and the husband was so much
concerned in the work that he sometimes
watched its progress. Millais, rs is well
known, Us handsome and winning-he
was especially so when young, he is bare
ly so now-and was drawn at once to the
young and lovely wife OF his friend, an
attraction that appears to have been re-
ciprocated. In plain parlance, Millais
and Mrs. Ruskin fell head-oyer heels, or
heels-over-head, if you like, in love with
one another without the least intent on
their part. Ruskin himself is said to
have perceived the fact, although the
lovers had not been in the slightest in
discreet or conventional, CT even to have
intimated one the other the condition of
their hearts.
The author Of "Mondern Painters is
as generous as he is chivalrous. lie did
not as ordinary men would have done,
fly into jealous rage, nor did he have q
scene with his wife. He told her gently
what he had perceived, and assured her
of his continued friendship and esteem,
and of his earnest desire to promote her
happiness at any price. She turned
crimson at the words, as if they had
been revelation to her own soul, which,
in part, they may have been. She could
not believe the thing possible at first
the surprises of the heart are usually
overwhelming very soon she ac-
knowledged the truth, and the painter
did likewise. The critic condemned
himself for dullness in thinking a Pla-
tonic marriage natural or satisfactory,
ana announced his willingness yea glad
ness, to assist the pair to a felicity they
were obviously fitted for. Instead of
putting any obstacle in the way, he
would remove the only one to their love
and appiness-himself- and he kept
his word faithfully. Under the peculiar
circumstances there was no trouble in
obtaining divorce. The matter was
managed privately, without any scandal,
and in due time hrs. Ruskin, who was,
became Mrs. hIillais, who is. They
have proved to be, from all accounts, a
most harmonious couple, and they are as
much to one another to-day as they were
during the honeymoon. Moreover, Rus
kin continues to be the firm friend of
both, visiting them regularly and sharing
in reflected manner in their happiness
"a fact which demonstrates the largeness
and nobility OF Rusain s nature. 1Iillais'
famous picture-it has been engraved
and is very common-''The Huguenot
Lovers is declared to be, as respects
the young woman, almost q faithful ror-
trait Of the artists wife, and the alleged
fact has added not little to its popular
ity.

THE LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE
WORLD.

The opening of the first railway is spok-
en- of as n memorable event, but every
one seems to forget that centuries before
this occurrence loads were transported on
rails in mines, and the fact is equally
overlooked in regarding the piercing OF
whole mountains, such as Mont Gents
and Saint Gothard, that similar works
had been effected ages ago in mines on a
far larger scale. The longest subterran-
can construction of this kind is to be
found in the mines of Freyberg, in the
Kingdom of Saxony. Already, at the
end of the year 1885, the galleries had
attained a length OF 102 miles, or 163 Kill
ometers. 1t the same time the works,
commenced at the end of the Twelfth
Century, had reached such a depth that
any further descent was found to be i'm
practicable. From 1923 to 1884 they had
produced 7, ,50i. 581 mares Il franc % Ger.
times each) in silver alone, of value of
200, 600, 600 thalers hearly. Consequent
ly new gallery had to be opened. This
was to lead from the village of Rotschoen-
berg TO a distance of 12,SS2 meters; its
cost was estimated at 1900, 900 thalers,
g francs 70 centimes each, and % years
were calculated as the time necessary to
carry out the undertaking. The work
was completed a year ago, and its execu-
ton had occupied 33 years, and necessi-
tated an expenditure of 7,166, ,697 mares
That considerable increase on the origi-
nal estimates was caused by the rock to
be pierced turning out much harder than
had been expected, and the fact that the
quantity of water yielded by the noun
tain was far larger than had been ca,cu-
lated upon. Other circumstances helped
to swell the costs; the rise in wages, and
the price of materials greatly augmented
the expenditure, and the delay in the ex-
ecution increased the general costs and
those of superintendency and administra-
ton. Moreover, the gallery had become
longer than was originally intended. 1t
rises, generally speaking, at a gradient
of three in 1000. Including the second
airy galleries, the shaft of Rotschoenberg
has now an extent of tunneling of 80,
900 meters, which will soon reach 80, 0GG
meters, or nearly 32 miles. This length
far surpasses any railway tunnel in the
world

Loss estimated at about $4,000. The
origin OF the fire is unknown, but it is
