A Royal DimcuIty.

When the sultan of Turkey desired
to be invested with the Order of the
Garter, a peculiar difficulty arose-not
the opposition Of English dignitaries.
but a Mohommedan law which forbade
the person of that ruler to be touched,
whereas the garter must be buckled
on below the left knee of each recip-
complicated the situation. At last,
after weighty deliberations, it was set
tied that a vertical slit should be made
through the sultan's draperfes through
which his knee could be thrust, and in
this way, by executing due care, the
garter was safely and lawfully fas-
tened round the sultanic calf.-New

The JerusaIem of Todsv.

AS we leave this ill famed ravine
and turn toward the east the lofty walls
of Jerusalem and the massive towers
of the citadel are Immediately before
US. We are on the outer slope of Mount
Zion. the sanctuary and the abode of
David. The ponderous blocks which
form the lower strata of the wall
might have been saped and put in
place by some prehistoric race of gil
ants. More than almost anything else
to be found around Jerusalem, or with
in, this wall bears an appearance Of
great antiquity. We can easily believe
that its foundations were laid in the
time of David, though its upper por-
tons are unquestionably modern. The
books vary. One says it was the work
of Sultan Suieiman in the sixteenth
century. Another that it was erected
much earlier. and my guide, most
intelligent and well informed Jew, of
built by the crusaders after they had
got possession for the purpose of pro
tecting the inhabitants against the ras-
cally Arabs, who would ride up in small
parties, rob some rich family and be
off with their plumber before anything
could be done to stop them. But, how
ever this may be- the wall, from six

cannon, it stands in good order. solid

perfectly separates the city from the
country about it.
The present population of Jerusalem

half are Jews. They live in a separate
quarter of their own. as do also the
various divisions of Christians, as the

built, with narrow and irregular lanes

ity does not seem to reach the abodes
of the Hebrews. The indications are
all Of extreme poverty A synagogue
was pointed cut bearing an inscription
showing that it was the gift Of a Paris
Rothschild; but its mean appearance
and unattractiye surroundings bore no
suggestion Of critical refinement in the
congregation. The articles of food set
out for sale In the petty little shops
were often squalid and repulsive. We
came so often upon spoiled salt fish
among the stores exposed by the ven
ders that we concluded it must sform
regular element of diet in the quarter.
There was no visible sign of industry
by which the people might earn their
living, and no one need be surprised
to learn that in various parts of the

A Fine Ear.

Simon Hassler, the well known mu-
sician, has. like Katisha, in the Mi
kado, a wonderful ear Seated one
evening next to a fellow player in the
open air at a garden party, he sud-
denly turned to his orchestral brother
and exclaimed: "Your fiddle is out Of
tune" This abrupt remark consider
ably startled the fiddler addressed, in
asmuch as he had carefully twanged
over the strings quite little while be-
fore, and had not since picked up his
instrument from its reposing place on
the music rack in front of him. But
l am sure that l tuned it, he protested
Indignantly, land I'd like to know how
in the devil you just came to think
differentlyl' Hassler smiled with Sc
rene enjoyment at the fiddler's dis
comf1ture. why, the fact is" he ex-
planned. that the wind just sighed
through the strings and the music
showed two of them to be out of tune"
The fiddler looked at him in amazement
then tried his fiddle again and found
that Hassler was right. We'll" he
calculated, you would be able to dis
cover a discord in one of those Songs

Breckenridge's son. Desna. said today
regarding the Pollard suit. that his
father would not consider for moment

from Washington, and stated there is
not the slightest foundation for the re-
port Of a compromise of the suit of

An Elephant Kills Four Persons.

A letter received from Jalpaiguvi,
Bengal, says the Indian government
recently gave permission to the Mahar-
ajah of Durbuyah to capture elephants
in the Tondoo Forest. and a large
number of tame elephants were
brought up for the purpose Of driving
and enticing their wandering brethren
into the "keddah. or wooden closure.
One night one Of these elephants got
must" and began playing sad
havoc among the lines Of cooHe
cottages. Many of these cool
les ran and took shelter in the
bungalow of the writer, who, think
ing that it was only one of the wild
elephants which had found its way
into te village. went out with shot
gun to scare it away. Wild yelIs from
the natives just warned me in time Of
the approach of the mad brute. The
elephant pulled some of the natives out
Of the bungalow. killing them The
brute was four days on the rampage
before it was killed In that time
it killed fourteen men and women and
wounded four. besides tearing down
scores of the coelie huts.
