Tho suitnn's Cooks.

When Turkey, and notably the sui
tan, were in the last extremity OF pow
erty, was one day sitting in the pri-
vate office Of q great Galata banker.
In the midst of our talk an excited
cavass rushed into the room exclaim-
ing that the sultan's gifts had arrived,
and that thirty cooks were waiting
without with trays of sweetmeats.
While the man spoke the first cook en-
tered the room, bearing on his head a
covered tray heaped with the usual
festoons OF yellow gauze. looked to-
ward my host in mute inquiry. The
banker smiled gently and said: My
friend, you must not be surprised, for
we are in Turkey; but you must go,
for this is private matter. Tcannot
permit you TO taste his majesty's bon
bons, but you may judge of their quail.

A Harmless Battle.

An awkward misunderstanding oc
CURED in Burmah between two British
columns sent out TO punish rebel
tribe, the Kachins, on the Shweli river.
One column started from Monet, the
other from Bahmo, intending to meet
at Manton, which was supposed 10 be
held by the rebels. But when the first
column arrived tho Kachins had de
camped 10 the hills and the troops took
possession and fortified the village.
Presently column number two ap
peared, and, seeing the village occu.
pied, opened fire upon the supposed
kachins. Column number one in
their turn concluded that the Kachins
had come back TO attack the intruders.
and SO returned the fire with interest
The rival columns blazed away at each
other for some time before discovering
their mistake, but happily no one, was
hurt-which does not say much for
the accuracy of the fire. - London

Dlsregarded Bullet Wounds.

1t has occurred to no obituary writer
to notice Lord Napier of Magdala's
utter indifference TO wounds and the
wonderful CELEBRITY Of his recovery
from them. Two of his wounds he
had not cared To notice at all in his
record OF services furnished To Harris
army list He was severely wounded
at Ferozeshah in December. 1S45, but
had recovered in time TO take part in
the battle of Sobraon, seven weeks
later. Before Multan, in the middle of
September, 1S48, a cannon shot all but
took OFF his leg, but he was marching
and fighting again by the second week
in November
On the 18th of January following he
was severely wounded in the trenches,
but he was able to march several hun
dred miles across the country and fight
at Gujerat one month later to day.
He was shot in the leg at the first re-
lief of Lucknow, but nevertheless rode
out next day and brought in the rear
guard, after which throughout the
blockade he did continuous and ardn-
GUS service. AT the second relief he
was severely wounded, but this did not
hinder him from taking up the active
duty of chief engineer at the Alum
bagh a few days later. = London

Feeding Plants with Roast Beef

There is something to a wOman's mind
painfully notwithstanding in the discovery
that plants have distinct appetite for
flesh fool yet Mr.. Francis Darwin has put
this beyond all doubt by feeding one plant
with roast meat and treating another In
the ordinary way, with the result that the
carnivorous plant not only produced $40
seeds to every 100 produced by the other,
but the seeds themselves were finer and
heavier. IL was that now somewhat neg
lected philosopher, Sam Weller. who pro
pounded the sweeping theory that "Natur's
u rum 'un, and certainly this roast meat
idea Is positively Gilbertian.

plants will never be cultivated to the

One friend of mine, beautiful
young woman wts afflicted with an

not only exceedingly painful but very

clap, a man of common sense as well

certain blood remedies, but refused to
give her anything TO act upon the CON

The patient became irritable and
dissatisfied, and finally consulted a
newly fiedged Nj. d., who, through
some advertising dodge, had been
brought prominently before the pub

pellets of arsenic to be taken during
the day and an arsenical lotion to be

En.c. of spraying Cold water.

Some interesting laboratory expert.
ments have been made on the effect of
spraying a considerable part of the
body surface OF animals with cold
water. So successful were these that
the spray has now been applied for the
purpose of producing febrile tempera-
ture in human beings. In the case OF
man suffering from phthisis, whose
temperature was high, it was found
that by spraying about pint of water
at between so dogs. and 20 dogs. Fab
renheit, over his body, the temperature
fell TO normal, and continued so for
several hours. A similar method was
satisfactorily adopted in the case of a
girl with diphtheria. In the healthy
human subject the spray lowered the
temperature nearly dogs. New Or.

A brakeman. Joke.

An empty cattle train pulled out
from the stock yards and in the ca
boose was particularly disagreeable
drover, who was homeward bound
After the train started he threw his
buffalo overcoat on the forward bench
and fell asleep. One of the brakemen
secured rope aud cautiously tied one
end of ii tightly around the fellow 5
ankles. The other end hc anchored
to a heavy hook overheard. Then an.
other brakeman took the coal scuttle,
filled il full Of newspapers, put it di-
rectly over the sleeper's head and
touched match to IL. As the papers
blazed up the two brakemen, who had
taken a position on the roof, poked
their heads through the lookout Gu
pola and yelled Fire The drover
awoke, saw the flames and started up.
The rope held his feet and he came
down with a thump on the floor of the
car. There was a bump ON mis- fore
head in ten minutes that was as big us
an ostrich's egg. But he was meeker
after that. Chicago Herald.
