what the Inmates Eat and HOW Tbey
Eat 1t.
Temple Bar.
A plate of broth before each guest; in the
middle big red tray, containing tumblers of
water and syrup, and small plates filed with
sweets, caviar, sardines-all kinds of hors
d@uvre, in fact, which are plentifully
patronized l am seated next to the pashas
daughter promiscuous rout OF servants
and slaves wait upon us. Some are white; some
are very, very black The latter wear the
most elementary of colored chemises or night
dresses, caught around the waist with string.
After the soup comes huge platter Of little
bits of roasted mutton. In Difference to my
preiudices, l am helped upon separate
plate, though had come prepared to act upon
the principal OF whimsical old friend OF my
childish days, whose paraphasing of IA la
guerre CONNIE la guerre'' was sin Turkey do
as the turkeys do.n
l am bound to state that separate plates are
likewise set before the ladies of the harem.
But this is the merest matter Of form. By
common consent all the forks are dipped
simultaneously in the central dish and bits
are progged out and conveyed to the lips
without any unnecessary delay. Sometimes
the good old maxim that fingers were made
before forks is acted upon. / am not sorry
now that my prejudices have been respected.
The mutton being cleared away, another great
central dish OF eggs and onions succeeds. The
same scene SIS before is enacted.
And now comes a sweet dish of Turkish
pastry-the greasiest, fakiest, lightest,
sweetest, most surfeiting pastry in the world.
Then follow artichokes stuffed with mince-
meat which are soon made real mincemeat of
by the crowd of folks and fingers. More pas
try-meaty this time-and then a very curious
dish, which is attacked by a dozen spoons at
one and the same time, that promptly return
to the attack after leaving the lips to which
they have been directed in the interim. Once
more / cannot find it in my heart TO regret
that my prejudices have led to my being
helped upon plate to myself.
This much-esteemed dish is kind of pap,
with an unpronounceable Turkish name, spelt
cdoOuk-gueSSu; it consists of chickens breasts
boiled down with milk until the whole is re-
duced to q kind OF sweet pulp, very filling and
cloying. The pap is succeeded by a kind of
Jelly. strongly impregnsted with essence of
rose. Then comes huge dish OF lamb, and
as final and crowning triumph huge plat
ter OF pilaf, with the rice boiled as it ought to
be for curry-in separate grains and properly
creased, Drowned, and gravied. Even the
hunger engendered by a conscientious adher-
ence to the Ramazan has its limits.
After oranges had been distributed to the
company all round, the ladies Of the harem
repaired to the adjoining room. The servants
and slaves tiocked into an adjoining apart
ment, where they and the children took their
1ftar with less of forks and more of fingers
than their mistresses; and l slipped my Turk
ish coffee and lighted my Turkish cigarette
under the direct protection of my friend, the
pasha's daughter.

THE PoPE,s SEVERE DIGNITY.

BILE in His Presence.
The Review OF Reviews.
Leo XIII. in putting on the tiara brought
very different habits into the Vatican Plus
TX, with his jovial nature and perfect bon
homie, gave way in his language and manners
to the familiarity and sansgene which is not
unknown in the Roman character. Leo XIII.
is very different. Whilst simple Archbishop
of Perugia, people, who for long years were
brought into contact with him, assure me that
he was never easily apprcachable. He is one
OF those men who when you see him holds
you at a distance and forbids any sort of
familiarity. He has seldom been seen to
laugh. This reserve, which is so natural in
him, increases the dignity of the tiara. 1t gives
him an intimidating aspect. The young Ger
man Emperor knows something about this.
When he visited the Vatican in October, 1885, ,he
was so disconnected on entering the Pope's
apartment that he first dropped the valuable ta-
bdtjere that he proposed to present to the Pope,
and then he let fall his helmet that he held in
his left hand. He could scarcely stammer out
several ncoherent words An eyewitness as.
sures me that he trembled like leaf, and
know ambassadors Of long standing who can
not even now conceal their emotion when
they step into the private room of the Pope,
so majestically does he carry the sovereign
dignity with which he is invested.

How to Get a Pretty Necktie.

Pittsburg Post.
There is a new fad among sentimental young
women, and one that is being warmly en-
couraged by those Of their admirers who have
penchants for pretty necktes. The most these
willy youtls have to do to add choicely to
their necktie stock is to compliment judicious-
~ the dainty new crepe and silk gowns of
their fair friends. The pleased girls immedi-
ately carry quarter of yard of the dress
stuff to a -"haberdasher," the
Anglisized ones call him-and have made
scarf or yie, patterned after the ones their ad-
mirers customarily wear. They donate this
tie, which is, Of course, different from that on
the store counters, ,stipulating firmly, how
ever, that il must never be worn on the same
occasion that the dress is donned That
would be, to express it in the girls own words
'too great q 'giye-away.n

Have Texas Represented at the Column
bian Exhibition at Chicago in 1898.

The chamber OF commerce has issued the
following call:
The legislature of the state Of Texas has
refused to make an appropriation IN
aid of the Columbian exhibition, and unless
immediate steps are taken our great state
will have no way Of showing 10 the world
its greatness and vast undeyeloped re-
sources. With q view to overcoming the
difficulty the Chamber of Commrce OF Fort
Worth asks that the various cities OF the
state. the Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade, commercial org aniZauons,
pro gressive organizations, and county i'm
migration societies send delegates to con-
vention to bc held At Fort Worth on May
Il at IL NJ to discuss plans, and, if possible,
organize for the purpose Of having the state
efficiently represented at the Columbian
exposition.
1t is. therefore requested that each COM
merciaI organization appoint one delegate
aId one lady delegate for every enmem-
bers. Each immigration and progressive
association one delegate and one lady dele
gate for every twenty members, each city
ono delegate one lady delegate for every
aUU0 inhabitants. Kindly acknowledge the
receipt Of this call, and forward TO the sec

GERMANY.s GREAT SOLDIER.


The death OF Won Molke removes all
but one OF trio that has become famed
in history, song and story, and whose
names will be cherished as long as
Teutonic blood flows in the veins Of
any living being. Wilhelm, the
mighty emperor who made Germany
the power she is to-day, has long since
joined the innumerable caravan THAT
marches on to the pale realms OF shade.
Bismarck, his trusty chancellor and
true friend, the man of iron, still sur
wives, towering aloft like q gigantic
oak in storm-wrecked forest yet who,
too, must soon bow before the inexora-
bic fat as the mighty conqueror. Won
Moltke, the third OF the great trio, died
in the penitude of power, with his hon
ors thick upon him. He was the idol
of the army and the people. He valued
war only for the peace it brought and
the strengthening OF Germany's posi-
ton. His name has long been en-
balmed in one OF the national songs, a
monument more enduring than granite
shaft or marble cenotaph. 1t will be
long before Germany will know three
men as great. or whose influence upon
the destiny of the nation will be so po-
tent as that OF Wilhelm, Bismarck and

THE ElGHT-HOUR MOVE.
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE BOARD OF
THE UNITED MINE
Workers OF America Concludes Its Ses-
sion at Columbus, Ohio-An Address
Issued to Their Brethren.

CoLUMBUs. ONO, April 2s-The national
executive board of the United mine workers
Of America concluded session Of several
days this morning and adjourned. The
meeting was called to hear statement
from the presidents Of the state miners or
ganizations relative to the proposed strike
on May / for the enforcement OF an
eight-hour labor day, The reports were
almost unanimous against the movement
Various reasons were given why they could
not enter upon strike at this time.
The result Of the conference was an ad-
dress to the United mine workers Of
America, q synopsis of which follows:
Fellow miners and coke workers OF the
Connelsville region for the past twelve
weeks have been participants in
a battle waged by organized cap
ital against organized labor, which
can only be termed CORY precursor Of
seemingly inevitable strife. In general
and more comprehensive manner it has
been the duty Of US mine workers to render
to those people all the financial aid posi-
bic and compatible with the laws Of the
organization. Therefore it is unnecessary
we should pay funds which under other
circumstances would be available for our
purpose on the first of May, and in conse-
quence our funds have been materially
reduced. In word, the time, attention
and finances Of our organization have been

our annual convention, was wholly unex-
pected. We now learn there has been
within the competitive district detection
on the part Of disorganized miners
of various sections. and as custo-
dams of the interests OF the people
who placed US in the positions
which we occupy, we posi-
lively, though relutantlv, refuse, with
our eyes open and with full and COM
plete knowledge OF the situation. to
1eopardise those interested, and will not
be responsible for the accompanying SUI
ferings and sacrifices OF the strike to
our constituents and their families.
Wei appreciate the holiness of
this step, we realize the disappointment TO
thousands of our friends, but realizing that
discretion is the better part of valor, we
have determined at present to continue
the fight in the coke region with all our
might we have therefore passed the follow
ing resolutions and submit to you with all
candor, humility and respect:
'hesolyed, that the eight-hour movement
be deferred for the time being, ard that the
time for action be left in the hands of the
national executive board and presidents of
the various districts
Tho executive board also makes an ap-
peal to local assemblies and local unions for
aid for the coke workers, whose battle
they say must be fought 10 victory.

A WONDERFUL WELL.
DOWN FORTY.ONE HUNDRED
FEET AT WHEELING, W. VA.
Turned Over to Scientlsts-No Water, but
Stratas of Various Formations Gone
Throush--Win Go Deeper.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 2s.-There is
an enterprise in progress near the city I'M
der the joint patronage of the United States
government and number of enterprising
citizens of Wheeling which is already at
tracing national attention, and if success
full will prove Of extraordinary interest TO
the scientific world. The following ex-
tracts from letter received from Maj. G.

logical survey. partly explains the project:
UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
WAsHINGToN: D. C., April q, 1891.
Hon. " B. Scott, President Of the Wheeling
Development Company, Wheeling, ". Va:
SRI have learned from Professor l. G.
White of the University Of Virginia that
public spirited citizens Of Wheeling, having
failed Of financial success IN the boring of
deep well, have dedicated the well to the
purposes of science, and determined that it
shall become in that way a success Not
only does this discrimination give me great
personal satisfaction, but it will entitle you
to the gratitude and the high esteem
of biologists and physicists of the
world. II the well is carried down
until it reaches carniferous limestone, it
will aid an important measurement to
geology and aid in guiding the future ope-
rations in boring for future economic pur-
poses, not only IN your avn vicinity but in
Ohio and Kentucky. It will also afford an
opportunity practically unique for the deter
mination of the laws for q temperature
change beneath the surface Of the earth.
The ideal locality is one where a deep well
penetrated an undisturbed horizontal strata
and does not tap veins of water These are
peculiar Characteristics of your well, and
the combination has never been
realized before. am therefore
very DESTROYS TO secure for science the best
records attainable from observation of this
well. and have detailed for this purpose DR..
William Honock, a trained and experienced
physicist, who will begin his preparatory
work at once. Yours with respect,
J. w. POWELL, Director.
The well in question has already been
bored by Wheeling gentleman to the
depth of 400 feet, and was started with
the avowed intention of boring until oil or
natural gas was found. 1t is proposed
to keep careful measurement of all
strata gone through by the drill and save
samples of each different formation. These
will be arranged in q glass tube in
the proportionate thickness in which they

with absolute certainty the cause of

st present the experts have little to say.
They do not care to make a statement that
future experiments may render
unreliable, be it in ever so small
degree, but this may be said:
Professors Sewell and Hedden are to-day
the whisky which Mrs. Barnaby
drank, and also of the viscera Of the
deceased lady. Professor Sewen has
reached one conclusion already that may be
of value in ferreting out the person who
sent Mrs. Barnaby the whisky. He does
not think the arsenic was put in
the whisky by person ignorants
of chemical principles. This he arrived at
from the ia. fact that no arsenic was in the
very insoluble in whisky. The
twelve ounces of liquor in the bottle would
have sustained in solution but sig
grains of arsenic-not sufficient to
produce fatal results. Accordingly who
of an alkaloid, knowing that in such a So
luton any amount of arsenic could be dis
solved. A potassium carbonate was made
use OF. This was betrayed by those who,
partook OF the whisky by the
taste. To Professor Sewell it is even more
evident, for he has made chemical analysis
Of portion Of the bottles contents. He
has not yet completed his task When all
is through by delicate scales he viii de-
termine the exact amount Of arsenic con-,
tanned in the bottle.
Professor Hedden has the viscera Of Mrs
Barnaby in his charge. He obtained them
last night from Undertaken Rogers on the,
