There is an anecdote of DR.. Russell,
the famous war correspondent. The
most unenviable position in which he
ever found himself was not in battle,
but in bed. AS the story runs, the
correspondent was on the way to
India with the Prince of Wales and
stopped at the palace in Athens The
king made an appointment with lSm
for an early walk DR.. Russell mar

AIfar With . Zig Fish.

Dear. dear" exclaimed George n.
Pe9ram to covey of railroad birds
in the st. James, ''how many liars
there are i'll the world anyhow.
Every small and large town has its
star liar, and my old town had one.
My old town was Chatham, Mass.
There was, when / was boy. an old
fellow of the name of George san
ders. who wore without an effort the
silver star of champion long distance
liar for the town and neighboring
vicinity This fellow had been, ac-
cording to himself, lost SO times in
great ocean wrecks. He had wan
dered naked and starving up and
down cannibal islands and been res
cued in a most providential manner.
Sharks and whales had vainly har-
bored designs against his life, and in
variably he had led them a bootless
chase. In doing all this he had also
established his star reputation. One
day George came into the town drag
ging after him an immense Goldfish.
He stopped at al. -she houses, he
was so well knowrf and calling out
the inhabitants pointed with pride
to the fish and said; Now, if l had
told you people had caught fish of
that size you wouldn't have believed
it George knew his reputation well,
and he knew that to gain the actual
credit for his catch that he would
have towork for it. 1t always ticllled
me to think that the biggest liar in
town should catch the biggest fish
and then be co1apelled to drag it all
around town to prove it. st. Louis

How the suItan's Food Is Prepared. .

The food for the sultan of Turkey
Is cooked by one man and his assist
ants, and no others touch it. 1t is
cooked in silver vessels, and, when
done, each kettle is sealed by slip
of paper and a stamp, and this is
broken in the presence of the sultan
by the high chamberlain, who takes
one spoonful from each separate ket-
tie before the sultan tastes it. This
is to guard against poison The sultan
never uses a plate. He rarely uses a
knife or fork-a spoon, his bread, a
pancake or fingers are far handler.
1t requires just twice as many slaves
as there are courses to serve a dinner
to him. -Woman's World.
