What 1t Takes to supply the Sultan's
Court.
The author of THE Sovereigns and
Courts of Europe" describes the pres
ent sultan of Turkey as leading very
simple life. He came to the throne in
1876, without any agency of his own,
and almost against his own will, after
living for many years in retirement
and no doubt finds the trappings of
royalty something OF burden. When
it is said that he lives simply, however,
the word must be understood as apply
ing to his personal habits rather than
to his official surroundings and expen-
ditures. THUS it is estimated that
more than six tho and persons are fed
every day at his Dolma Bagtche palace
when he is there. The treasurer Of the
household has pretty heavy burden
upon his shoulders
There is regui arly organized force
OF buyers, each charged with the pur-
chase of certain supplies for the pal
ace. One mans duty is to buy fish;
and to do this for six thousand persons
is no light undertaking in city which
has no great markets. About ten tons
a week are required, and to secure this
some twenty men are kept busy.
Nearly eighseen thousand pounds of
bread are eaten daily, and all this is
baked in enormous ovens at some dis
tance from the place. OF course large
force of bakers is required, as well as
| another large force of buyers and car
riers of flour andfueL
The sultan's own food is prepared by
- -,
touch it. 1t is cooked in silver vessels,
and when done each kettle is sealed by
a slip of paper and stamp This
stamp is broken in the presence of the
sultan by the high chamberlain, who
takes one spoonful of each kettle be-
fore the sultan tastes it-as 4 safe
guard against poison.
THE food is almost always served
to the sultan in the same dishes in
which it has been cooked. II this dish
| is of one of the baser metals it is set in
golden bell-shaped holder, the handle
! of which is held by a slayo-while the
| sultan eats. Each kettle is course,
and is served with bread and kind of
| pancake, which is held on a golden
tray by another slave.
The sultan never uses a plate. He
| takes all his food from the little ket-
ties, and never uses a table and rarely
knife or fork. A spoon, his bread,
pancake, or fingers are far handler.
Nearly ton of rice day is required
for the inevitable pilaff, together with
six hundred pounds of sugar, and an
equal amount of coffee, to say nothing
of the other groceries, fruit, vegetables
and meat
That there is enormous waste and
extravaganza in the kitchens is almost
a matter of course; it is said that
enough Is thrown away daily to feed a
hundred families. But such waste is
not confined to Turkish royal house
mold, and might be found in kitchens
nearer home. The surplus is gathered
mp by the beggars. with whom Con
stantinople abounds. and what still re-
mains is eaten by the scavenger dogs.

Undesirable possibilities for Women.

The advancement of women and
their admission to various avenues of
industry has other undesirable posi-
bilities besides that of standing up in
the cars. A London business man,
who made over his business to his wife,
final Y became SO poor as to seek ad-
mission to the almshouse, whereupon
the authorities decided that the wife
must pay a weekly sum for his sup
port. 1t was clearly proven that he
had been uufaithful and cruel to her;
that she had built up the business from
worse than nothing; that the judges
had granted her a divorce on just
grounds; but in spite of all this she
was obliged to support the man she
had married. If along with their equal
rights the women are compelled to
support unworthy husbands from the
results of their toll they may sigh for
the good old days when the law that
compelled a man to support his wife
divorced the wife if the husband did
not support her. Chicago Tribune.

Tea Gowns.

Tea gowns for spring and summer are
made of beautiful crepons of light
ground strewn with flowers, of challi,
batiste, cashmere, and of India silks
both figured and plain. Most of the
new gowns have a yoke with belted
front and a Vatican fold, in which
pleats are thickly massed at the top.
The straight shirt sleeve is used for
these gowns, with fulness dropping on
a cuff of embroidery, or a bracelet of
satin ribbon which is tied in bow on
the inside seam. Bretelles of the ma
terial with selvage finish extend up the
fronts and over the sleeve tops, and
disappear in the armhole of the back
A deep frill of colored chiffon or lace,
or of the material finely pleated, is
turned down around the neck, and
sometimes replaces the wristbands.
The chiffon and the ribbons are chosen
of the color of the figure OF the fabric.
A beautiful curled silk trimming imi-
tating feathers is also used. A gray
cashmere gown is trimmed with open
gray passementerie threaded with
pink baby ribbon. Another of pale
green cashmere has bretelles of black
lace wide and full on the shoulders,
and coat frill of the same lace headed
by black velvet ribbon. Pure white
laces in open meshes, with the only
figures along the scalloped edge, trim
gowns of sheer batiste of pale pink, yell
low, or sky blue shades. --Harper's

Clevelan1's DangFr.

fWashington Star Qndependent', 20th.l
1t is possible that the action OF the
movers of the May convention IN New
York may make futile all the efforts OF
the Cleveland people outside OF that
State.
The conviction has become very gen
eral at Washington that Mr.. Cleveland
will not permit his name to 60 before
the national convention If Mr.. Grace's
convention adopts such a course as
would place the Cleveland people hope
lessly in opposition to the regular Demo
cratic organization.
The understanding is that if the May
convention goes much further than to
merely make an earnest protest against
the manner IN which the other February
convention was called and held Mr.
Cleveland will write letter Withdrawing
his candidacy.
Barring the danger he runs from inju-
dicious action of some of his friends III
New York, it is generally believed that
Cleveland is in better shape for the con
vention than it was expected he would
be.
If. however, the Grace convention
drives him out of the race, by making
him merely the candidate of boiling
faction in the State, it will leave the
Cleveland people in other parts of the
country without candidate and scatter
their forces.

The Pressure on Blaine.

Washington Star independently, goth
The anti Harrison folks are becoming
more and more confident that Mr..
Blaine will accept the nomination.
While after repeated efforts thay have
failed to get any positive statement from
him. that he will accept, the fact that he
has not checked them by private assu-
rance that they have made an erroneous
assumption, considered together with
the non-committal character OF his re-
plies, conyinces them that he will not
decline all unsought nomination. Two
members of the House called on Mr..
Blaine this morning to talk the matter
over with him. They said they did not
come to ask him to commit himself, bat
merely wanted to tell him that nine
tenths OF the party favored his nom
ination and thought that the welfare Of
the party depended upon his acceptance.
They urged him to say nothing mean
while, but to accept the nomination II
pressed upon him by the convention.
Members and senators who are pressing
the candidacy upon Mr.. Blaine express
great satisfaction over an impression they
have that Mrs. Blaine agrees with them
that her husband should accept.
