Champagne is rapidly giving way to ap-
pollonarius water among the Eng
lish candidates for political distinction. At
one time there was no drinking among the
members Of Gladstone's cabinet. Charles
Dixie is rabid teetotaler. Gladstone
never smokes but he likes red wine, and
closes his dinner invariably with brim-
ming glass Of old port. Chamberlain takes
champagne regularly at his dinner, and
seldom is seen without a cigar. Morley is
moderately inclined to champagne, and 10
In love with the cigarette. William Har-
court has bad digestion. For time he
became u teetotaler, but has gone back to
red wine. Randolph Churchill drinks very
little, but Is an inveterate smoker OF cigar
cites. Lord Dufrerin neither smokes or
drinks, and Lord Salisbury, owing to deli
cate health, drinks seldom and never
smokes.
Scandal has the floor, and respectabllty
may WELD the gavel with vigor, but the
blghtiDg elf will not sit down. The Colin
Campbell affair compel the sewer snipes TO
''grab their nasal knobs"

In Constantinope Fatime, as the world
knows, was Murad's latest and fondest.
Fatime and NadetZ met and loved ut first

aid Fatime to escape from the harem.

escape. They both fled TO Paris, and were
| publicly married In the Madeline Church,
at which time Fatime displayed pearls and
| precious stones which She had received
| from Murad. valued at 5000 900 pias-
ters. When Murad missed his favorite he
ordered the faithless eunuch to be stripped,
whipped publicly, and discharged. He
received the blows crying to Allah and the
| prophets, and when 1t was all over smil-
ingly showed his friends Il bag containing
10000 piasters which NudetZ had given him.

The recent marriage Of Lord Mansfield
and Lady LOokfeld was very English In Its
way, and somewhat crazy. The wedding
cards were decorated with hunting scenes.
| The bride approached the altar in a riding
habit OF white satin and u white cylinder
| hat The bridegroom and his friends
wore red hunting suits, At the church
door each man stacked his guH. After the
ceremonies a grand hare and grouse shoot
ing expedition was taken. At 10 o'clock In
the evening the guests departed, leaving
the principal hunter and huntress alone In
the hunting castle. The English aristocracy
are getting painfully queer. We have had
the age OF stone, the age OF iron, and the
age OF electricity. Behold the era of cranks
is a'dawning.
