What visitor Saw and Ate at . Break
fast In Turkey.
A plate o. broth befor each guest; In
the middle u big red tray, containing
tumblers Of water and strip, and small
plates filed with Sweets caviare. sar-
dines-all kinds of hors d'euvre, In
fact, which are plentifully patronized.
I am seated next to the pasha's daugh-
ter. A promiscuous route Of servants
and slaves wait upon US Some are
white, some are very, very black. The
latter wear the most elementary OF
coloied chemises or night dresses,
caught round the waist with string.
After the soup comes huge platter Of
little bits of roasted mutton. In def
erence to my prejudices, ] am helped
upon q separate plate, though had
come prepared to act upon the princi-
pie of whimsical friend Of my child
ish days, whose paraphrasing Of "A Ia
guerre CONNIE q Ia guerre" was: I'm
Turkey do as the turkeys do"
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 stimuli
taneously into the central dish, and bits
are progged out and conveyed to the
lips without any unnecessary delay.
Sometimes the good old maxim that
tigers 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 as before is
enacted.
And now comes sweet dish of Turk
ish pastry - the greasiest fakiest,
lightest sweetest, most surfeiting
pastry in the world. Then follow
articholses stuffed, with mince-meat,
which are soon made real mince-meat of
by the crowd Of forks and fingers. More
pastry-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 lipsto which they have
been directed in the interim. Once more
can not find it in my heart 10 regret
tina. my prejudices have led to my being
helped upon a plate to myself.
This much-esteemed dish is kind OF
pap with an unpronounceable Turkish
name, spelled cavouk-guessu; it consists
of chickens breasts boiled down with
milk until the whole Is reduced to a
kind of sweet pulp, very filling and
cloying. The pap is succeeded by a
kind of jelly strongly impregnated
with essence os rose. Then comes
huge dish of lamb, and, as
a final and browning triumph,
huge platter of pilaf, with the rice
boiled as it ought to be for curry-in
separate grains-and properly creased,
Drowned and gravied. Even the hun
ger engendered by q conscientious ad-
herence to the Ramazan has its limits.
After the oranges had been distrib-
uted to the company all round, the Ia
dies of the harem repaired TO the ad-
joining room. The servants and slaves
locked into an adjoining apartment,
where they and the children took their
iftar with less Of forks and more of fin
gers than their mistresses, and slipped
my Turkish coffee and lighted my Turk
ish cigarette under the direct protec-
ton of my friend, the pasha's daugh-
ter-Tcmple Bar.

Those pessimistic folks who can see
nothing heroic in the spirit or people of
this age are respectfully requested to give
a moments attention to the case of Israel
Joseph. a real estate broker, who was
buried in Cypress Hills cemetery recently.
The other day. at the crowded corner of
Broadway and Vesey streets, two little
girls were about to be run down by a
heavy team whose driver had lost con-
troll of them. Israel Joseph sprang from
the sidewalk, seized the animals by the
bits aal held them back until the girls
were ont of the way.
The plugging horses SO jerked aad
flung him about that a heart valve
burst, and in few days the man was
dead. He had simply given his life for
two children he had never seen before,
And in so doing he had proven himself
one of the heroes of which our old world
still has plenty. Only they are garbod
in workmen's blouses or business mons
cutaway coats, and we don't recognize
them as they go about their business in
the humdrum ways of daily life.-New

In 1877 the Third National bank of Chi
cago failed for nearly 100000 1t had a
capital stock of $3.50. 200. and Ill its cash
on hand, amounting to $500 600, went to
its creditors. j. Irving Pearce was pres
ident Of the fated bank Huntington w.
jackson was the receiver of the closed
institution. and has had the management
of itS ;tssets since that time. The stock
holders were informed that the stock
was worthless. Some sold their holdings
for song and others kept what they
ha,l because nobody would buy it. A
meeting of those holding stock was held
recently, at which the receiver announced
that he hal been offered 81 ,000. 900 for
real estate near Jackson PARK, supposed
to becomparatively worthless at the time
of the wreck of the bank.
This sale will be made unless higher
price is bid, and the moaey distributed
among the stockholders. The defunct
bank was also the owner of considerable
real estate.n the town of Cicero, which
could not have been sold then for more
than $3.50 or 500 an acre, but is now
worth 81, 100 or 81 900 an acre, and which
will swell the assets enormously. Ii any
other town in the country has bank

istence fourteen years ago, but is worth
more now than it was at the highest tide
of its prosperity, let the facts be pro

Turning to Mr.. Wrenn he asked about
the tree and expressed desire to see it.

handle of his pliers. As the wires he was
engaged upon were dead, he may have
thought this ample precaution.
The result proved that it was not. Ap-
parently one Of the cut wires falling across

contact with this the hneman received a
shock which sent him crashing to the pave

him up.
