The Hardworking Sultan.

This ruler is currently imagined to al
low his ministers to do all his work,
while he himself lives life of luxurious
Incidence. The very reverse is the rule.
The one man in all the Turkish domin-
ions who works morning, noon and
night, whose mind never rests from eff
fort to carry his people through the diff
fculties which beset bad system and
lack of means, is the monarch. The min
listers work little, the sultan necessarily.
Not only is this well known, but an init
mate of mine is an aid-de-camp in daily
attendance upon his majesty, and my
ideas CLEANED from him have given me
hearty respect for the personality of the
present bearer of the crescent.
Since his accession he has scarcely left
his palace. Here he labors with honest
fidelity to effect the impossible, for the
bad Turkish customs are like the laws of
the Modes and Persians. The system is
as rotten as the people are hard to teach.
Moreover, the sultan is the simplest and
most plainly dressed man in his domia~
ions. The unpretentious courtesy of his
personal bearing, his apparent lack of
egotism, his rather pale, nervous, ia
tigued looking face, are dignity itself.
I have never seen more patriarchal
ceremony or one of higher tone than the
quiet procession of Selamlik.-Harper'

We were one of the fortunate ones
to receive an invitation to partake of
bountiful Christmas dinner at the
Porter house, in this village, on Mon
day. 1t is unnecessary to particular
ize, land we could not do so if we
wished, but everything that person
could wish for was set before us and
was greatly enjoyed by all present.
There was large number present,
and after dinner the festivities COM
menced. There were games and mu-
sic, and then a beautiful Christmas
tree was presented to our view loaded
to the last limb with costly presents.
The honor of acting as proxy for
Santa Claus was conferred upon US
and we did the best we could, con-
sidering our age and inexperience in
such matters. Everyone voted that
to reach the acme of bodily enjoy
ment, all that is needful is to par
take of one of Mrs. Porter's Christ
mas dinners.

Fight With a Leopard.

A striking illustration of British
courage and logged persistence was
given by an officer in India, named Ap-
cher, in fight with leopard. He
was going round rock, following the
beast, which he had wounded, when
the leopard, meeting the hunter, dash
ed at him. Apcher jumped one side
and fired. The shot only staggered the
leopard. The man started to run, but
before he could turn round the beast
was almost upon him.
He struck the animal with the gun
as it was in the act of striking him and
so warded off the blow from his head.
But the beasts claws of one paw cut his
right cheek, and the other paw knocked
the gun out of the officers hands.
With all his strength the man dashed
his right hand into the beasts mouth
and with the left grasped him around
the throat The leopard caught him
near the elbow and bit through the fore
arm. Exerting all his strength, Apcher
threw the leopard into rift between
the rocks and on its back. With his
knee on its chest, one hand in its mouth,
the other grasping its throat, he held
the struggling animal. His native boy
came up with double barreled gun.
'Put it in the leopard's mouth and
fire, F." said Apcher.
The boy obeyed, pulled both triggers
and killed the beast, fortunately with
out hitting the hand. The dogged off,
GERS left hand and arm were much in
iured; every finger of the right hand
was lacerated, the hand bitten through
and the forearm torn in FIVE places. -

rattooed Royalty.

The Grand Duke Alexis right arm is
adorned with a dragon which covers it
almost entirely from the wrist to the
elbow. The new Duke of Sake oburg-
Gotha is tattooed much the same way,
while the Duke of York has couple of
crossed flags upon his forearm. King
George of Greece, his second son and his
nephew, the czarowitz, are each of them
tattooed. Besides these there are among
the tattooed princes Queen Marguerite
of Italy's brother, the Duke of Genoa,
Archduke Stephen Of Austria and Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor
William.
Princess Waldemar of Denmark, wife
of the sailor son Of King Christian, has a
beautiful anchor and crown tattooed on
her arm, halfway between her shoulder
and her elbow, and which of course is
conspicuous whenever she wears low
dress. Her husband likewise has naval
emblems tattooed on his arm, and SO,
too, has King Oscar Of Sweden, who
served for many years in the navy before
ascending the throne. His sons have
followed his example. Boston Herald.

CHALLENGED JUDGE AND JURY.

Extraordinary Tactics OF o Pennsylvania
Lawyer to En1iven a Trial.
II don't believe in trying case in
dull, routine manner, so that it be.
comes a question whether the attorneys
Or the jurors will go to sleep first, "
said s. S. Boyer of Sunbury, author OF
'Boyer's Criminal Digest" to a re.
porter. Mr.. Boyer was defending
George Kuhn in the United States
courts against the charge of imperson-
ating United States officer. The case
proved to be one of the most amusing
that has ever been called. 1t was full
Of funny incidents from the beginning
to the end.
Attorney Boyer is Pennsylvania
Dutchman and has enough of that &C
cent to make his conversation very at
tractive. The first day of the trial a
witness was called who, owing to some
chronic affection of the throat, was not
able to speak in an ordinary tone, but
had either to speak in whisper or
shout his words. Attorney Boyer didn t
know this, SO when the witness began
to shout his answers Boyer thought he
was doing it to be disrespectful. He
became angry and shouted his questions
in not very polite manner.
In his speech to the jury Boyer said
come very bitter things about the wit
ness, among which was, You saw how
much of rowdy he was by his actions
on the stand" He was quite taken
aback when United States District At
torney Hall arose and explained the wit
ness affection. In addressing the jury
Attorney Boyer apologized for not being
able to present his case in an eloquent
manner for his soldier client, for, !"
he said, "as my client left part of his
body on the battlefield, so left part of
my voice at the breakfast table. He
had met with an accident to his teeth.
Attorney Boyer then went on to say :
Gin the great book of books it says
that it is better to leave SO guilty per-
sons go UNPUBLISHED than to punish one
innocent man." Attorney Hall in
closing answered this in neat man
ner by saying: ''When the attorney for
the defense quoted about 90 guilty per-
sons from the book of books, | at once
presumed he meant the Bible. can
now see my mistake, as that sentiment
is not expressed there, for by his book
Of books he must have meant Boyers
Criminal Digest. = This created a
great laugh in the court.
AS Attorney Boyer closed his speech
he did most uncommon thing. He
turned to the jury and said: " If there
is any point you don't understand about
this case you'd like me to explain, just
ask me the question. I'll have to make
the same restriction to you as did to
the supreme court, however. told the
judges they were at liberty to ask me
questions concerning the case | had
before them and not to be afraid to do
so, as they could not embarrass me, but
to ask only one question at a time, as
that was all could answer. = This odd
practice created quite little sensation
in the court. Attorney Boyer, after
abusing witness in a terrible manner,
turned and said, IF that witness wants
to see me outside after the case is over,
I'll speak to him. . The case gave con-
slant amusement by the oddities that
crept in, and Attorney Boyer's natural
manner of addressing the jury seemed
to take, for his client was acquitted. -

He at once took down his hat box and
hurled it after his hat. Then he sat
down and smiled on his fellow pas

Into Matrimony.
Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence of the natives of
Greenland, marriages ia the far north
are celebrated by the representatives
OF the church. In recent issue of one
OF the Danish papers one of the mis-
5ionaries gives the following account
OF the way courtship and marriage are
brought about:
The man calls on the missionary and
says, II wish to take unto myself a
wife,
"Whomf" asks the missionary.
The man gives her name.
Have you spoken with herr"
As a rule the answer is in the mega
tive, and the missionary asks the reason.
Because, " comes the reply, it is
SO difficult. You must speak to her.
The missionary then calls the young
woman to him and says. :" ! think it is
time that you marry.
"But, she replies, Il do not wish
to marry"
THAT is a pity, adds the mission
airy, as have husband for you. >
"Who is he?" asks tho maiden.
The missionary names the candidate
for her love.
"But he is not worth anything. /
will not have him.
However, suggests the missionary,
"he is a good fellow and attends well
to his house. He throws a good har-
pooh, and he loves you.
The Greenland beauty listens atten-
lively, but again declares that she will
not accept the man as her husband.
Very well, goes on the missionary;
II do not wish to force you. shall
easily find another wife for so good
fellow.
The missionary then remains silent as
though he looked upon the incident as
closed. But in a few minutes she whis-
pers, but if you wish it

you wish it. | do not wish to overper-
suade you.
Another sigh follows, and the pastor
expresses regret that she cannot accept
the man.
Pastor, she then breaks out, Il
fear he is not worthy.
But did he not kill two whales last
summer while the others killed one?
VIII you not take him now?"
Eyes, yes; Will. =

pastor and joins the two in marriage.

ENGAGED.

Beside the sea walked with her,
A maid so passing fair,
Ienvied the autumn sun
That fingered in her hair.
Nut brown her cheeks, slender her hand,
Her dark eyes hazel gray.
It seemed an angel just from heaven
Did walk with me that day.
Her profile pure against the blue,
Clear like carven gem.
oh, never regal brow
Wore such a diademl
The breeze caressed her sacred cheek
And fragrant with her breath
Forgot its mission to the land
And died blissful death.
A wanton spray of golden rod
That dared to kiss her hand
My keepsake is. She does not know;
She cannot understand.
Mine is the memory of that hour;
Mine is that setting sun
The light that lived, the breeze that died,
The single star that shone.
Oh, gentle maiden, passing fair,
How little can you guess
The costly tribute that pay
To your sweet lovelinessl
My promise true another holds,
Beside distant shore.
~ could not love thee, dear, so much
Loved not honor more"
