The Christianity OF Assyria.

The Ashiret Assyrians are wild and
untutored in their habits and customs.
Their Christianity consists in little
more than o passionate clinging to o
faith they do not comprehend, and
which from this very fact is powerless
to influence their morals. Not only
are there no schools AMONG them, but
their clergy are incapable of instruct
ing their locks in the rudiments
of religion; some of them are
quite unable to conduct o service,
others can repeat the important parts
by heart, while o few can read the an
cient manuscripts, which are still in
daily use throughout the country be-
cause there are no printed books. It
is comparatively rare to find a priest
who can both read and write with ia
cility; all other learning is absolutely
wanting. Only during the winter
months, when the snow blocks the en-
frances to the mountains, when all
agriculture is at q standstill and Kur-
dish attacks become impossible, could
these Ashirets give their minds to edu-
cation. During the rest of the year
the people till their grounds and pas
ture their focks armed to the teeth,
ready to repel the attacks of which
they live in constant dread. Indeed,
the Ashiert Assyrians are in the posi-
ton of a beleagured garrison in q siege
which is never raised; an unending
succession of assaults and sorties leaves
them neither time nor inclination to
think of more peaceful matters.

A ssDunco sharp" Banned.

A good story Of the confidence man
was related to q Tribune reporter one

found that he had only one dollar aud

corner who would advance him the

An Empress Who Cooks.

The Empress OF Austria is the best
royal house-keeper in Europe. She Is
as thoroughly acquainted with details
Of the imperial Austrian kitchen as her
husband is with the details Of the inn
perial Austrian government. She
superintends the household affairs tof
the big palace at the Austrian capital
with the greatest care. She receives
personally. reads and acts upon reports
from cooks, buffers, keepers of the
plate, and keeper of the linen. Cook
ing divices which have become incon-
v~enient or ~antiquated are abolished only
ut her command. New methods Of
preparing OF saving food r adopted
only ct her suggestion. Changes in the
personnel of the establishment are
made for the most part only in obedi-
once to her orders. Consequently a
person can eat, drink, sleep and be
served better in her house than in any
other in Europe.
Tho kitchen in which the food for the
bluest blood of Austria is cooked is a
huge OK with all the arrangements at
each end for preparing fish, fowl and
beast for the table. Fifty chickens can
be cooked at once on n of the big
whirling spits. Against the side walls
from floor to ceiling stand scores upon
scores Of chatting dishes. In these
dishes. all Of which are self-warming,
the meats are carried to the carving
room, whence they are returned TO the
kitchen ready to be served. The boil
ing and baking and frying and carrying
and cutting occupy a small regiment Of
white clothes, dress, spit, season and
stuff the meats. As many female cooks
prepare the vegetables, the pudding
and the salads. A dozen or more boys
hurry the birds, fish and joints from
the kitchen to the carving room, where
long lines OF carvers slice and joint
everything laid before them.
