long reskAsA in Constantinopas may illustrate
the dimensions OF the sultAn's intellect. On
one occasion . foreign ambassador was intro
duoed who found the sultan preoccupisd, his
his brow weighed down with care. The first
word that fell from his lips indicated how he
Felt the burdens which rested upon him, to
which the ambassador replied with respectful
sympathy that the Affairs Of state which OPP
pressed his majesty must indeed be over
whelmtn4 Thus drawn out, The sultan meu-
toned ths problem which at that very mo-
ment vsxsd the imperial mind-it was a regu-
la:ion to b made in regard to the cafes in
Constantinopls. If this b true land have
it frcrn authority which I can not question:,
IL gives the measure of the man. It shows a
mind which delights itsslf in petty details, and

DRESSING RESTAURANT WINDOWS.

The Art Of Attracting Customers by an
Artistic Display of Wares.
The hardest task Of the window -dresssr il
that CT making the show-window OF q
restaurant lock inviting and appetizin2. The
really drst-cla0 restaurants do not ordinarily
indulge in this sort OF advertising, and dis
dsin to tempt passsrs-by by any indication Of
the eontants Of their larder On the contrary,
tbs evident desire with which The tastes Of the
large majority Of their patrons coincide is to
withdraw the interior Of the dining room ~
far as possible from the public gaze by the
erection et wire, klk, velvet, or plush screens
before the lower parts Of the windows. Tho
restaurants Of lower grade, however, all
want - place in their show-windows such
articles Of food and such dishes as are likely
to attraOt customers and induce them to
sntsr.
Large and intensely yellow pumpkins, Of
gigantic proportions, suggestive Of vast
quantities Of pie, with . statement Of the
place Of growth end weight duly attached, Il
. favorits exhibition pisce. Unusually large
fish Of finer varieties, such ~ brook and lake
trout, salmon, striped bass, shad, and terra
pins lying ON thsir backs, with label pasted
on the frontal bone attestinS the weight; ;
choice cuts, or often whole carcasses Of veni-
son, bear, antelope, buffalo, English mutton,
huge potatoes, tremendous Holsters, very
large oysters. or other shell6sh and abnorm-
ally large fruits, ere some Of the articles
shown.
OF the plAiAsss and nsatast, yet most
attractive, show dishes, is a big, red porter
house steak, with m sdge Of mow-whits fat,
laid in IT, center Of . wreath Of green
parsley or celery. A haunch Of venison in
the suggestive nsighborhood Of small dishss,
allied With surTAnt or wine jelliss, il also
calculated to excite the appetite Of the hungry.
In tho show-window Of an uptown oyster
saloon . large red lobster, standing with cut
stretched legs amid . bed Of gigantic oysters,
is the central object Of exhibition.
In the window Of Broadway restaurant,
chiefly frs0usuted by ladies, are shown the
componenss Of . dainty rspast. On large
fruit and pound cake are laid small slices Of
the same, rich with raisins, almonds,
and citron, while snow-white cream or
Charlotte rusDes, crown the whole. Other
confectionery, fanciful In shape, variety, and
material, u placed around, all in . way to
please the most delicate in taste. Meats are
are never shown, and the suggestion Of any
thing % gross il stuliously avoided. This il
left to the restaurants patronioed by men,
who are supposed to find . stronger appeal in
more solid and healtAisr food.-Nsw York

The relations between Chamberlain anc
Gladstone are more strained than ever
Chamberlain will make a bitter fight. TO,
unless he wins he will be destroyed. In all
probability the Irish leaders will give a full
history of his secret negotiations with them.
1t will then be known that he offered home
rule and even declared his readiness to ac-
cept an Irish republic on condition that the
Irish party would help him overthrow
Gladstone, Harrington and the House Of
Lords. The Irish party, with one or two
exceptions, always mistrusted him and pre-
ferred to look to Gladstone for carrying
home rule through Parliament. Gladstone
has justified the soundness of their judg-
ment. If he cannot carry it, no man can
Gladstone's voice is again causing him

try to spend two or three days for the pur-
pose of recuperating. His physicians have
upon him that he must reserve
his energies if he wishes to speak in the
House of Commons on Thursday.

makes no provision whatever for the some
what numerous class of Chinese peraona
who, retaining Chinese subjeoti in come

rom such countries to the United States.
Chinese merchants, he says, have trading
operations of magnitude throughout tho
world. They do not become citizens Of the
country where they may temporarily reside
and trade. They continue TO be subjects Of
China, and to them the explicit exemption
OF the treaty applies. Yet, il such a sub
leet is the head of mercantile houses at
Hongkong, or Yokohama, or Honolulu, or
Havana or Colon, he is met with tho re-
quirement that he must produce a certih-
cate IN the prescribed form and in the Eng

ment. If there be st the place Of his resi-
dence, no representative Of the Chinese
government competent TO issue a certificate
IN the prescribed form, he can obtain none.

BIsmarek on Socialism.

Prince Bismarck, in his recent speech in
the Reichstag, abiding to the growth of
socialism, said that in the time of the
French revolution socialism had proved a
powerful spiritual lever of the French vic
tories, and thBt history might be repeated,
though he thought the present French
army was opposed to workingmen's Gov
eminent. 1T is impossible he contin-
ued, " to tell which party would be victori-
Gus if great European troubles should again
arise, because they would be partly of an
international nature. When these move
ments come 1 would have Germany oppose
them to her utmost The speech has
created sensation in connection with the
great socialist troubles in Belgium and

Russia and Bulgaria.

A second meeting said to have been
called because of the receipt Of serious news
from Bulgaria and Greece took place in
Gladstone's room. Orders have been re-
celved at Davenport to have all the torpedo
vessels there in readiness for sea at short
notice. a dispatch from st. Petersburg
says the Russian Government has definitely
decided to occupy Bulgaria within a few
weeks unless Prince Alexander submits to
the wishes of Russia Prince Alexander
refuses absolutely to submit to the Powers.
as demanded by Russia, the question
whether his title to Governor of Eastern
Roumelia is for life, as he claims, or, as
Russia contends, for a term of five years.
AS Russia has sacrificed much in Bulgaria s
interest she has right to expect Bulgaria
to listen to her. 1t is reported that Russia
has notified the Powers of her intention to
occupy bulgaria in the event of Prince
Alexander's final refusal to accept the
Governorship of Roumelia for five years
only.
