The SULTAN AND HIS WIVES. Doubt
less tears, clamors, poutings work the
same results in Constantinople that they
do in Washington, and the luxurious
harem may have some dull corner where
the discarded favorite may weep, neg
lected, willie her victorious rival sweeps
by in triumph. The Turks are tender in
the extreme to animals and Children, and
we must believe they ere gentle toward
women. Sometimes the caprices of
wives have been as costly as the Sultan
to the empire Sultan Ibrahim allowed
his to take what they pleased from shops
and bazaars without payment. One
houri complained; she did not like shop
ping by daylight, and at once the sover.
eigu issued an order requiring merchants
to keep their shops open all night and 10
have enough torches burning to exhibit
goods to advantage. Another, whose
name means Little Bit of Sugar, whisp
cred to Ibrahim that she wanted to see
him with his beard fringed with gems.
The lord of lords was adorned according.
ly, and made spectacle of himself, thus
tricked out.-Susan E. Wallace in New

SECRET OF THE LETTERS PoWER.-
Topham lifted weight of nearly 5000
pound by the use Of the strength of his
whole body. He stood within a well
balanced framework heavily loaded, and
to be raised by broad straps, two pass
ing over his shoulders and two attached
TO a strong waistband. The lifting pow
er was obtained by Strengthening hia low
er limbs almost straight Just before lift
ing and at the same time slightly raising
bis shoulders. The heavily loaded
framework was thus raised an inch OF
two, a very slight swaying movement
showing the spectators that 1t was really
free from all contact with the ground.
So powerful was Topham's frame for this
sort of work that he was backed to pull
against two strong dray horses-his body
being in horizontal position, and the
pull Of the horses being resisted by the
pressure of his legs against fixed hori-
zontal bar close to the ground, So that
the action was precisely the same as that
employed in the lifting experiment.
The secret of the great lifting power
of the legs in such work lies in the fact
that the action has that exceedingly eff
fective leverage which is employed in the
Stanhope press, Familiarity known, in
fact, for this very reason, as ''knee lev
erage." When the legs are nearly mp
right the knees may be perhaps half a
foot from the position they take when
the legs are Strengthened. While they
move through this half foot the body is
not raised more than perhaps half an
inch; consequently the power used in
Strengthening the legs is multiplied into
a twelvefoid greater lifting power. 1t
is because of this powerful knee
Strengthening action that lifting exercises
are apt to develop abnormally the mus
cles of the lower and inner end of the
front thigh.-Richard A. Proctor.

1t Was Plumb.

Yesterday afternoon a man halted
on Griswold street and looked pretty
iXedly at the tower of the City Hall.
In ten seconds a second man stopped
and elevated his gaze. IN five minutes
thirty men were looking, No one said
anything or discovered anything, when
a fresh addition advanced to the first
man and inquired:
w hat is it, mister?"
The City Hall tower" was the
answer.
Nv hats the matter with it?"
why, it strikes me that it is out of
plumb. Don't you think SOP"
"Why, no, How could it be out OF
plumb?"
Il don't know. 1t struck me that
way, but if you say it's all right, I'll
take your word for it. Good morning,
sir"
The other thirty stood and looked
at each other in n foolish sort of way
for minute without saying a word.
and then everybody made a rush to
get away.-Detroit Free Press.

FESTIVALS OF TIE ALAsKANs--rhe
festivaIs-whicb, as we have said, are
numerous-are often held in sort Of
common hall called the kashga, which
is built of the same pattern as the SEMI
subterranean winter houses, but is often
as large as sixty feet square and twenty
or thirty feet high. This kashga also
serves for vaTions other purposes. 1t is
used for the public bath; for the deliber
atoms of the council of elders in COM
munal questions; for the preparation Of
skins and the manufacture of sIeds; for
the reception of visitors, aud for the
sleeping place of males who have no huts
of their own. The festivals consist Of
singing aud dancing of a primitive char
acter, and then gorging with fish and
blubber, with additional luxury of melted
reindeer fat, whenTit can be procured.
All the food, both fish and flesh, goes
through some process of cooking before
eaten, although the ''higher" it is the
more it is approximately Chambers Jour

GOOD HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

The handsomest woman ever saw was
one who took great care of her health.
When [ knew her she was over 30, but
no girl of 16 that L have ever seen had
roster cheeks or brighter eyes. Ofcourse
she was naturally fine looking, but the
attention she gave to matters of hygiene
What did she dol / don't know that I
can recount all, but | remember her tell
ing me she took sponge bath every
morning; was particular about the ven
tilation Of her apartments; toe long
walk when she could; ate but little meat,
mach fruit and cereals whenever she
could get them. Another thing she did
which she tried without success to get me
to do, she drank her coffee without milk
or cream, diluted with water
The reason she took her coffee so was
because her physicians told her it was
healthier to drink ii in this way. Wheth-

Connected with the dead letter Office
is sort of museum, where curious arti-
cies that come ia the mails aud cannot be
returned to owners are placed on exhibit
ton. In the cabinets which extend
round the room are shown articles in
Vulnerable and varied, many of which
have histories. There are pictures and
toys and iewelry without number. Sey
eral Indian hatchets which were unc'aim
ed give to one of the cabinets an archa1-
logical appearance, and a pair of Indian
pipes of red sand stone cross each other
in truly peaceful style. One of the rare
curiosities is a sheet of parchment, on
which is pinned the Lords prayer in

duplicate of a parchment which hangs in

A Chinese Kitchen.

The first thing one notices on enter
ing Chinese kitchen is the stove, if
it can so be called. 1t is made of or
binary brick, with holes in front abont
six inches square, through which can
be famed the charcoal fires, usually
made mere holes in the brick-work
above. Sometimes small earthenware
stoves are built in solid, in which case
small holes are drilled i'll the bottom
to allow the air to reach the fire from
the square apertures below. These
stoves are of all sizes to suit, some
being used for spall earthenware pots,
while others are large enough to re-
ceive the great family pan in which
the rice, or great vegetable" as it is
sometimes called, is almost always
cooking These large pans, shaped
like huge saucers, are used equally
for frying, boiling, or stewing, and
the wooden cover goes into the pan,
not upon it, and floats on whatever
may be boiling at the time. The
whole of these fireplaces communicate
with one chimney; but as there is very
little smoke, except when lighting the
fire with wood, the natives do not care
much whether TIE chimney draws" or
not. The only other furniture in the
kitchen is the table, which is general
ly-like the rest of the surroundings
as black and dirty as can we'll be con-
ceived. Upon the grlmmy chimney
are pasted red papers, covered with
Chinese characters, in honor of Chow
Kun Kong, the god of the kitchen, and
before these, on the fifteenth of each
moon, red candles and incense are re-
hgously burnt. He is implored to
protect not only the kitchen, but the
fires, the cooking, the meals, and the
cooks, and, if the rice is not properly
boiled, poor Chow Kun Kong Qike our
cat) is often blamed for it. Another
thing one notices in every kitchen is
sheet of paper pasted on the wall,
with a number of black marks upon
it. This is the tally of the water-car-
rier, who, when he brings in load of
water (two pails) presses his thumb
on the bottom of pan. and, with the
smut, makes a mark on the paper
enc that cannot possibly be either
erased or copied. Good Housekeeping.
