Birnam wood that came to Dunsinane.
Only a few armed men covered the
movement, but under the dress of all
were weapons concealed that would have
made them most formidable adversaries
if attacked.
The present train carried something
like two-thirds of the treasure. Had
there been force enough, Walter would
have divided it, and moved the rest at
the same time from the other end of the

take charge of the train, and you may
go and bring off the portion left at the

So it was determined. Perez, aa
knowing his men the best, assumed the
general command; Walter rode near the
middle of the line Brooding solicitously
over the safety of his treasure, he would

Perez charged himself with turning
some of the ingots into cash for the ex-

at once to make their preparations and
plan the necessary subterfuges.

some concern.

real estate in this city belonging to deceased,
and will shortly forward the proceeds, amount

widow married Gen. Cullum. Col. Grannis, as
executor of the estate, has had occasion to eX-

surgeon from New York TO be operated upon
and to decide whether the treatment shall be

AHEAD OF SOLOMON.
The Sultan of Turkey Is the Possessor of
Eleven Hundred Wives.
Chicago Evening Post

The Sultan of Turkey Is the PossessOr of
Eleven Hundred Wives.
Chicago Evening Post.
There is pretty general belief in this world
that Solomon was the king bee polygamist
known to history. According to B. B. Valen-
tine, the accomplished littGrateur, who recently
returned from a visit to Turkey, the Sultan can
see Solomon with his 700 wives and 300 concu-
bines to boot and go him 100 better. 'The
statement will no doubt prove startling to
many,n Mr.. Valentine remarked over his break
asst coffee at the Richelieu this morning, shut
lhave it from such high authority as to leave
no doubt of its authenticity in my mind that
the Sultan is the proud possessor of 100 wives.
OF course, this number, owing to deaths, sales,
purchases, ETC., fluctuates trifle during the
year, but the balance is above, quite as fre-
quently if not more than it is below, so that
LOO may be said to be a conservative average.
sit is also a fact" Mr. Valentine continued,
as he pushed his cup away, lit cigar and leaned
back in his chair sit is also fact that in the
harem of the Sultan there are considerable
number of French and English women; as to
an American element can't say. The agents
of the Sultan are in the capitals of the Continent
constantly looking out for recruits TO their SOW
ereign's household. And life in the royal harem
is one which has many temptations for woman
without means, but possessing strong desire
for ease and luxury AS a member OF Lne narem
she will have slaves to wait on her, and, save
being denied visits from the opposite sex, she
may enjoy horself pretty much as her fancy die
tates. Moreover, once entering the harem does
not necessarily imply that she must always
remain member, for should she express wish
to be released it is more than likely, particularly
so if she be foreigner, her wish will be
granted.
at not infrequently happens that the recruits
sent by the Sultans orders fail to satisfy the
epicurean taste of His Majesty, and when such
is the case they remain until traded off to some
other harem owner of less dignity. Sometimes,
too, the Sultan gets tired of wife, or wife
gets tired of him. Then also trade is effected
and she exchanges places with member of
another harem. You see, having so many wives,
the Sultan looks upon them much as fancy
stock raiser would regard his herd of cattle, and
disposes of them accordingly. Still, the Sultan
should not be considered cruel To be sure, he
| doesn't want scolds in his harem or women disa-
| greeable to him, and he trades them off to their
satisfaction just as much, probably, as to his.
| But when they become sick or old they are not
| turned adrift. On the contrary, they are at
tended to quite as carefully as you could de-
sire. SO that, all things considered, life in a
harem does not seem to be the worst fate after

WOMEN IN THE DENTISTS CHAIR.
They Are Much More Patient and Sensible
Than Men.

New York Sun.
''Really the wonderful progress of dentistry
in the past few years is entirely owing to the
patience and good sense of women," insisted
the dentist. "a woman will bear without
quiver the most intense pain, that would send
man flying out of the chair with string of In
vectives that would make everything blue; and
not only that, but she will submit to tedious
operations that require hours of suffering in
their completion. A man comes flying into the
Office and expects his teeth put in order in about
the time necessary to black his boots He
fusses and fdgets, rushes off to keep an ap-
pontment before you have half finished, and
you don't see him again for two or three years,
when he comes in to cheerfully announce that
dentists are of no earthly use, and his teeth are
as bad as they would have been II you hadn't
touched them. Now, woman sees to it that
her teeth are kept constantly in order. In the
first place she has the good sense TO understand
that she saves herself heap of pain and money
by frequent visits to her deutist; and in the sec
ond place her dainty instincts prompt her to
avoid the uncleanlness of decayed molars.
You can't help being a little more careful about
hurting when a little, slim, delicate woman
only shuts her hands silently under the torture,
than when a big, powerful man kicks things all
to pieces and splutters and fumes because you
put a rubber dam over his mouth. Aud you
can't help doing better work for rational,
sensible woman who don't expect to be soothed

Mood for Dogs.

st. Louis Globe-Demoerat.
Dogs should be fed in accordance with what
they are intended to do, A fighting dog should
be fed with raw beef and blood, diet that
makes him savage, and which has the same
effect on fighting cock. Hunting dogs, on
the contrary, should never be allowed to taste
blood, for it will give them an appetite for raw
flesh, and will sometimes lead them to steal the
game. The best food for bunting and house
dogs is the beef cracking that comes from the
rendering works. 1t is thoroughly cooked, and
contains enough oleaginous matter to be nutri-
tious. With some kind of coarse bread it keeps
the dog IN good physical condition, does not
stupefy or make him dull, and is cheap enough
to make it point to buy it for dog feed.

Fashionable Throat Wear.

Fashion has her deyotees by the neck. Last
year, and only few months ago, in fact, there
was scarcely anything worn about the throat.
Sometimes only the collar of the dress fastened
by gold pin. Now the neck and throat adorn-
ment is all of the Partisan "fussy nature"
Everything is full and putting. Ruchings are
as popular as feathers, ribbons, or boas, and
are in every style imaginable, white and silver,
gold and black, silver and black com-colored
net with black dots, and all black dotted net,
white crepe lisse with pretty touch of pink or
yellow or red, and in fact there is every kind of
ruchiug imaginable-all exquisitely pretty or
very handsome and becoming, too, to almost
every lady. They carry one back in imagination
to Sir Francis Bacon and Elizabeth, though they
are not by any means of the Elizabethan ruff
order.

The Theory Upon Which 1t Operates and
the Microbes Which Are Introduced.
English Illustrated Magazine.
The most familiar form of protective inocula-
tion is ordinary vaccination in which compar-
atively small number of the microbes are intro
duced into the system, there to multiply abun-
dantly and to effect some change, possibly to
remove some necessary food material, so that
the system will no longer favor the growth of
the same organism if it subsequently gain ac-
cess. The system thus becomes protected by
having supported crop of organisms, and is
incapable of maintaining a second, immunity
from the particular disease being thus secured
for a longer or shorter period of time in the fu-
ture. 1t has, however, been found that protec-
tion may be secured in the case of some diseases
without inoculating the living organism at all,
but by introducing only certain quantity of its
products on successive occasions and in ncreas-
ing quantities In this case the protection OBJ
viously depends upon accustoming the system
TO the particular poison, just as persons may by
practice become accustomed to taking doses of
arsenic or opium which would prove immedi-
ately fatal to ordinary people. Considerations
of this kind have led Pasteur to devise the sys-
TENS of preventive incubation for anthrax, for
chicken cholera, and more recently for the terri
BILE hydrophobia, which is doubtless a disease
produced by microbes, although as yet undis-
