OUR REGULAR ARMY.
Plenty of Men willing to Don Uncle
Sans Uniform,

Sans Uniform.
There is no dearth of men in the coun-
try who are willing to wear the United
States uniform. The applications
average larger number than the legal
limit of the enlisted strength of the
Army. In 1888 there were PATIO appli-
cations for enlistment. OF these 1S,017
were rejected. In the last eight years
the average number of applications was
25,661; of reflections, 1S,946; while not
withstanding the large number of men
offering themselves at the recruiting
Offices, the Army last year lacked 1900
of the legal $4,000.
The rejection of nearly rs per cent. of
the men who apply for admission to the
rank and file of the Army indicates, of
course, not only care in the selection of
those who are accepted, but also the low
character of very many of the applicants.
Men who apply at the rendezvouses are
rejected by the officer in command on
their appearance. Brutality and dissi-
patton leave unmistakable signs upon the
faces of their victims, and the man who
bears them does not get as far as the first
surgical examination.

THE SULTAN AT HOME.
Housekeeping on a Gigantic Scale, and
How He Eats.

1t is estimated that over 5000 persons
are fed daily at his Dolma Bagtche pal
ace when the sultan is there. One who
claims to be well informed gives in the
Leisure Hour graphic picture of the
sultan's housekeeping. He admits that
it is clear that there is good executive
ability in the management of this enor-
nous household, for there is scarcely
ever jar or hitch, even under the inn
pulse of the most untimely demands.
Every different department is under the
control of a person who is directly re-
sponsble for that, and he has a corps of
servants and slaves under his orders,
who obey him only, and he is subject to
the treasurer of the household. Women
have no voice whatever in the manage
ment of anything in any department.
Their sole occupation is to wait upon
their respective mistresses or to serve the
sultan in some specified capacity, and
the labor about the palace is so subdi-
vided that no one works very hard ex-
cept the lord high cham berlain and treas
urer of the household.
The treasurer of the household has the
burden of the housekeeping on his burly
shoulders, and has an organized force of
buyers, who are each charged with the
purchase of certain supplies for their in
dividual departments, each paying his
helpers, servants, and slaves One man
is charged with the duty of supplying all
the fish, and, as to furnish fish for at
least 6 600 persons is no light undertake
ing in a place where there are no great
markets such as there are in all other
large cities, he has to have about 20 men
to scour the various small markets and
buy of the fishermen, and each of these
men has two others to carry the fish they
buy.
About 10 tons of fish a week are re-
qured. There are nearly $4,000 pounds
of bread eaten daily for the Turks are
large bread eaters, and this is all baked
IN the enormous ovens situated at some
distance from the palace. The food for
the sultan is cooked by one man and his
aids, and no others touch it. 1t is cooked
in silver vessels, and when done each
kettle is sealed by slip of paper and
stamp, and this is broken in the presence
Of the sultan by the high chamberlain,
who takes one spoonful of each separate
kettle before the sultan tastes it. This
is to guard against poison. The food is
almost always served up to the sultan in
the same vessels in which it is cooked,
and these are often of gold, but when
served in vessels of baser metal the kettle
is set into rich golden bell shaped
holder, the handle of which is held by
slave while the sultan eats. The sultan

seen me, and daring the waves, high
even between the reef and the shore,
had rowed out and rescued me just as
was sinking. Utterly crushed as was,
did not at first realize my position. I
was told 1 could go to Nassau on a
schooner in about month, but felt no
inclination to do aught but to stay where
fate had thrown me. The young
wrecker was very kind to me. Every
day he patrolled the beach in search of
the bodies Of my father and sister. At
last one day they came ashore. He told
me OF 1t, but sad 1 mustn't see them. L
wondered then why, b It le;trned after
ward that the sharks had ll,,lt"d them.
They were buried i'll little lonely cem-
etery, and the next year, when the Bishop
of Nassau came in his yacht on his
annual visitation, he read the burial
service over them. Meanwhile 1
grew well and strong in the soft warm
air and under the tropic skies. I
learned to like the half wild life,
and the few white people and all the ne
groes half worshipped me. One day
schooner brought some papers, and l
read our barque had been given up as
lost and my name was among those
drowned. These papers recalled me to
myself, and l determined I would go to
Nassau. and, if l could, thence to Eng
land. | told the young wrecker, who
had become my firm friend and compan-
ion, and whom had taught to read, of
my decision. Well, Miss he said, if
you feel it is so, suppose you're right,
but l hate to think of losing you This
and his evident sorrow touched me, and
made me think whether in the world to
which l was returning would find such
simple loyal devotion as had here been
mine. When the day came for my de-
parture all the inhabitants turned out to
bid me farewell. A queen could not
have had more loyal leave taking than
the English Miss as they called me.
The young wrecker went with me. He
said he had business in Nassau. That
night-a nightso soft and sweet it seemed
as if storms had never brooded there, the
Southern Cross blazing low on the hori-
son-the wrecker came to where l sat on
the deck of the little schooner. Miss
he said, I'm nothing but ''Conch, a
poor ignorant Bahama native, but l can't
bear to have you go away. We all love
you, and | more than all. l must tell
you. You know our life is poor and
rude, that we're far away from the
world, but if you won't blame me for
even daring to hope, Miss, you know
have the handsomest schooner of the
Watlings fleet and the best cottage on
the island I'm sure I'd do my best to
make you forget your troubles, Miss, and
the sponge fishing is better, Miss, and
there's good many wrecks yet, Miss
and | love you, Miss.
Here she stopped, checked herself, and
blushed.
"Of course you spoke kindly to him.,
said, "and told him you We're sorry, but
he mustn't speak again"
"Of course l didn't. You're like all
men. What's the name Of this schooner"
Lillian, replied wonderingly.
"Well that's my name, and here, as
a tall, broad shouldered, roughly dressed
young man appeared on the wharf,
bunch of roses in his hand, and eyed me
curiously, "here's my wrecker, and his
name is John. = James B. Townsend.

New York's most successful heart and

eminent physician was ushered into the
sick mans room as soon as he arrived.
1t took him just five minutes to form his
opinion, without resorting to scarcely
any examination.
When the physician came out of the
sick room the brother of the banker said:

"Your brother will not live "a hours, :"
was the laconic reply.
THAT is what our physician here has
told us, but we didn't know but what

AS pure as the angels are.
And smile of radiant beauty,

Like ray of golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.
No more was sad and lonely,
And gone were the shadows gray,
For that smile of friendly greeting
Had Ganished the gloom away.

Thy happy life would be

The lassie who smiled at me.

are not more than one fourth the size of

any of the brown shading of white and

from the earth.

Electric Railways.
Professor Elihu Thompson, in speak
ing on "The Problems of the Future, {"
says: I'm the near future railways will
berun by electricity; not the small II a Is,
mean, but really the large ones con-
Meeting cities, and there is no reason why
we should not expect higher speed than
we attain at present with our steam loco
motives. There we have reciprocating
parts that must be put in motion,
stopped and reversed continually, while
in the electric locomotive we have the
simple rotary motion, which makes it
possible accordingly to run at a much
higher rate of speed. Although the
steam locomotive has been very much
improved, yet it can hardly compare
with the economy of stationary engines,
placed where they can have an abundant
water supply for condensing purposes.
We can, therefore, by employing sta
tionary engines and electric roads, do
away with a great deal of unnecessary
weight, and, the moving parts being
symmetrical, we can attain a higher
speed-say a hundred miles an hour.
This would be a grand step forward,
which would save us great deal of time.
1t might even be possible to reach speed
of $50 miles an hour; it simply depends
upon finding the method of applying
sufficient power, and building the loco
motives to suit, arrangements being
adopted to keep the cars on the track.
