EATS $4,000 A DAY.
That is the Sum the Sultan of Turkey
Spends on His Table.

That is the Sum the Sultan of Turkey
Spends on His Table
By far the most extrayagant diner in
the world is the Sultan of Turkey. His
table expenses total up to $4,000 day,
or $1,825,OO a year. 1t is the most ex
pensive table and household, in all prob
ability, that any country has ever seen.
He is not a sociable man, and very rare
ly has guests or visitors. The Sultan
does not even have a dining room or dim
ing hall. Turkish custom among the
higher classes is for servants to bring
the meals to wherever the diners may
be, and in the palace of STEAMBOAT the
menials at the dinner hour first search
out his majesty and then in long pro-
cession bring in the banquet, table and
all!
The table is of silver and perhaps the
most exquisite table that has ever been
made. 1t prece,des, the procession, borne
in upon the shoulders of lower grade
servants. Following come long line
of jublakiars, who are cooks assistants,
On the heads of these are large tables,
on which are platters. Such an equable
balance do these jublakiars keep that an
accident, even the breaking of a dish,
has never been known.
The walters lift the platters from the
ia bles and present each dish to His Maj
esty, bowling low. The dishes are COW
cred and sealed with the imperial seal,
which is put on in the kitchen by the
Grand Vizier, so that the Sultan may be
certain that his food has not been pois-
oned and tempered with. All at once the
dishes are set upon the table, vegetables,
meats, ices and sweets being arranged in
front of His Majesty without any regard
to courses or ordinary dinner regulations.
When the whole repast is placed before
him he runs his eye over the many
viands. Then he picks and chooses, eat
ing the whole simultaneously, pick
here and bite pit there ie m4u II Of
a tiny ball of fish. He is total alb
stainer, and never has wine on the table.
At state dinners rare vintages are pro-
vided for those seated at other than
the imperial board.-New York Press.

The extreme cheapness of military

illustrated by story that was told at

in the year 1870 he was travelling
through certain populous country dis

farmer who had a considerable number
of men at work in his hay fields. "Most
of these men are old soldiers" said the
