The SuItan's Treasures.

In letter from Bucharest, Colonel A.
Loudon Snowden, United States Minis
ter to Greece, Servia and Roumania,
gives the following account of an ex-
perience in the far East: ION my way
here l stopped over in Constantinople
for few days, visiting the objects of
interest in that remarkable city. The
Sultan designated an aide-de-camp, who
conducted US to such places of especial
interest as the general visitor is not ex-
pected or permitted to see. The treas
ure house of the Sultan, which contains
the accumulations of centuries, is SIM
ply indescribable. Here are stored dia-
monds, emeralds, pearls and other pre-
cious stones such as exist in no other
place in the world, and in quantities be-
yond calculation as to value. The pal
aces on the Bosphorus are marvels Of
beauty and splendor. "-Ph:!adelphia

Their methods Are DIfrerent.

There is an odd difference between
the methods of detectives and of police
men, The latter often make the mis-
take in arresting the innocent; the for
mer has peremptory way of ordering
about suspicious characters whom they
would hesitate to arrest. l saw the
latter method admirably illustrated on
Second avenue, within block or so OF
the fashionable residence district the
other day, when tall, grizzled, shabby
man in citizens dress actually drove
before him, with curses and threats,
brace of well-dressed, loaferish young
fellows, who seemed to be doing nothing
in particular. Once when they made
stand he drew back as if to strike one oil
them with his fist and he did not cease
his vigilance until they were out OF
sight. He was detective, and he had
spotted these two as bent upon mis-

japanese music is crude; there are no
written notes to go by in playing, nor has the
singer any "Do, Re, Mi" to depend on. One
learns to sing and play by observation, imi-
tation and practice. Instrumental and vocal
music are always taught together, and by the
same instructor, who is either a lady or a
blind man who has received a musical degree.
The singular method of practicing by a
young lady, intent upon cultivating her
voice, is thus described by the author of "a
japanese Boy"
During the winter the girl in training
clothes herself comfortably, takes a samisen
"a banjo with a square body, played with a
plectrum of ivory-and ascends every cold
night the scaiTold erected on the roof of the
house for drying purposes.
There she sits for hours amid the blasts
singing and banging away, until she can en-
dure it no longer. Upon coming down, she
is found to be 50 hoarse as to be unable tc
utter word.
This training is persisted in until her nat
ura voice has left her, and a new, clear voice
has been acquired, which can be heard in q
storm The girl screams her worthless voice
out and away. This barbarous training, &C
cordng to the author, has produced many al

he wanted his son to make show and be

wouldn't do it. No, he wouldn't dress up TO

When "cobbed" the asbestos is graded &C.
cording to purity, color and length of fiber
into three grades and bagged for shipment.
The finest quality, or "tirsts," find ready
sales at prices ranging from $50 to $40 per
ton; seconds" fetch from $50 to $40 per ton,
while "thirds" may be valued at $13 to $lt
per ton. In good mines the yield of asbestos
is from 3 to 3 per cent. of the rock quarried
and the cost of mining may be put down at
$25 to $50 per ton. Returns obtained by the
geological survey of Canada show that fol
the year 1888 Canada's output was 4, 404 tons,
valued at the mines at $3.50, 900, and this the
output of nine different mines. Over three
fourths of the whole was shipped to the
United States, small quantities going to Great
Britain, Germany, France, Belgium and
Italy, and being used in domestic manufact.
