THE SULTAN At DINNER.
Eats Alone and His Table Expenses Foot
Up Almost Two Millions Year.

Eats Alone and His Table Expenses Foot
Up Almost Two Millions Year.
BY far the most extravaganza diner in
the world is the sultan of Turkey. His
table expenses foot up to Ave thousand
dollars day, or one million eight hum
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars
q year. It is the most expensive table
and household, in all probability, that
any country has ever seen. The old
Romans used to spend vast sums on
single meals, the equivalent of fifty
thousand dollars being drop in the
bucket when their emperors used to
dine foreign potentates, but the sultan
expends all this money on himself. He
is not q social man and very rarely has
guests or visitors.
He does not even have q dining-room
or dining-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 Stamboul
the menials at the dinner hour first
search out his majesty and then in
long procession bring the banquet,
table and all.
The table is silver one. and perhaps
the most exquisite table that has ever
been made. It precedes the process
sion, borne in upon the shoulders of
lower grade servants Following came
long line Of jublakiars, who are
cooks assistants. On the heads of
these orientals are large tablets on
which the platters are placed. Such q
perfect balance do the jublakiars keep
that an accident, the breaking Of q
dish, has never been known.
The waters (sofladgis) lift the plat
tiers from the tablets and present each
dish TO his majesty, bowling low. The
dishes are covered and sealed with the
Imperial seal, which is put on in the
Kitchen by the grand vizier. the idea
being that the sultan may be certain
that his food has not been poisoned or
tempered with.
Ill at once the dishes are set upon
the table, vegetables, meats, ices and
continues being arranged in front Of
his royal highness without any regard
to courses or ordinary dinner regula-
tions. The whole repast is before his
majesty. He runs his eye over the
many viands Then he picks and
chooses, eating the whole simulta.
neously, pick here and bite there, a
mouthful Of meat. . spoonful of ice, o
sweet cake and q tiny ball Of fish.
It all seems strange to man who
finishes his soup before he tackles any
thing else, but the sultan seems to en-
Joy It. He is q total abstainer, and
never has wine set on th. table at any
time. At state dinners the people that
get . chance to drink the rare vintages
provided are those seated at other than

How strangely this reads In these
after yearsl The old colored men Of
to-day, now fast passing away, who
were slaves, look back upon the past
with amazement, and wonder why they
did not question BY, what right they
were made slaves?
3 But, being born in slavery, they knew
no other condition, and deemed it to be
their natural state. It must now seem
to them as q dream but q very sad one.
There seems not to be the joyous
laughter and merry ring in the song Of
to-day as in the olden days Of slavery.
Then the negro had no cares for the
morrow. When his days work was
done he spent the night in "frolick.

came he was taken care Of for the
good service he had done. Now be

and, as he is q natural spend Thrift, hc
never does, and when too infirm to
labor he suffers, starves and dies. As
q rule, the plantation negro practices
economy only when he has neither
money nor credit. His freedom has not
inspired him with ambition, and he
labors only that he may live, and just
enough to meet his immediate neces-
stiles. Nearly every neighborhood Is

Bernice Gladlever, the young heireas,
stood easily on the one thousand-dolla
rug in the oriental drawing-room of
her fathers one-million-dollar resi-
dence. It was evening, and, aside from
the raindrops that ever and anon sped
down the physiognomies of the carved
satyrs that graced the front Of the

the windowsills, nothing disturbed
the deep silence of the household.

young man entered. He paused a mo-

before had made him famous in tho

direction of the door, she said:

Mr. Chandelier, should ask you to

The present generation knows very

q mere tradition. The Importation of
slaves being prohibited by law, and,
furthermore, as the savage negro did
not understand agriculture, he was of
little value until he was tanned and
taught to work. Consequently there
arose in the southern border states,
such as Kentucky, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, class of men known as ''slave

INDUSTRIAL CHANGES.

Some idea of the changes brought
about by the substitution OF electricity
for horse power III the one item OF lntra-
mual travel may be obtained by glancing
at some figures compiled in Chicago. 1t
is stated that if the street car service
now in use in that city were operated by
horses, as formerly, it would require 3d.
900 horse, 5000 stable men to care for
them, 1, 500 blacksmiths to shoe them,
5, 100000 bushels of oats and l ,OOO, 900
ton OF hay to feed them annually. Let
some one take slate and pencil, and
after ascertaining the number OF cities
which have substituted electric for horse
power, figure out the number OF horses
and men thrown out OF certain lines OF
employment and the quantity ofhay
and oats dispensed with. The aggregate
will be found startling.
Nor is it electricity alone that is sup
planting the horse The bicycle is doing
it's share. Perhaps this little two wheel
ed steed is as much responsible for the
present low price of horse flesh as are the
electric cars. But in the advent OF the
bicycle is seen to some extent the law OF
compensation by which as fast as en-
ployment decreases in one line Of work it
is opened up in another. The bicycle fac
tories employ thousands OF men, and
thousands are engaged in selling and re-
pairing the machines. 1t is an absolute
ly new industry, the creation OF recent
years. In like manner the operation OF
the electric car systems open new ave-
nues of employment.
Electricity is destined, undoubtedly,
destined to work still greater Industrial
changes. 1t is a power so facile and 80
easily conveyed to the point OF applica-
ton that it will come to be used more
and more extensively to do the work of
the world and save human drudgery. 1t
is difficult to say what will become Of
the manual workmen whom it supplants
but it cannot be doubted that other oc-
equations will be found for them, and
that in the end the multiplication Of MAJ
chinery will result in shorter hours,
lighter work and greater comfort for the
mass OF mankind. Ii work can be done
with less effort, some way must ultl-
mately be found to distribute the benefit
among all the people.
The horse problem will probably be
settled by breeders raising fewer horses
and those only of a superior kind After
the present surplus has been worked off,
by the worn-out animals and the scrubs
dying Off or going to the canning factory
to feed Europeans who have a taste for
that sort OF diet, we expect to see the
price of the noble animal come up again,
but there will be a demand only for the
best breeds In the end the horse will
become almost purely a luxury or orna-
ment; the bicycle and the horseless car
riages, in common with the electric cars,
will supplant him for purposes Of bust
ness locomotion over streets and COM
mon roadways. Farmers will be com
PEELED to raise less oats and to substitute
othe grains. Vast changes are going
on in the habits of civilized peoples, and
electricity and the bicycle are the two
most potent agencies in effecting the
revolution--M Minneapolis Tribune.

ABUSE OF THE WHEEL.

Whenever a healthful amusement be-
comes a mania, it ceases to be healthful.
Nature has ruled that moderation
alone shall any pleasure or pursuit yield
entirely beneficial results. Among all
the devices for the promotion of happi-
ness and health nothing is quite SO allur-
ing as the wheel, and few things more
healthful. Yet, here, too, is the inexor-
able law enforced that excess, entire
absorption of the time and interest, is
hurtful.
The doctors have invented the word
bicychloris to designate condition i'll
which the blood is impoverished and the
vitality Of the system lowered from ex
eessive wheeling. There is said to be
still another pathological condition as
the result OF "scorching." Searching
does not necessarily imply excessive rid
ing Of the wheel, but rapid riding, with
the body thrown forward, the back
dumped" and the arms fixed, contract
ing the chest and making it's muscles as
rigid as possible at the very time when
the play of the leg muscles calls for the
fullest expansion OF the lungs.
1t is necessary that riders who make
records and win prizes should ride i'll this
miscellaneous fashion. In their cass the
matter is less SERIOUS, because they do
not ride often. They are in the hands Of
trainers, and rarely ride their wheels in
the streets or anywhere except on the
race course. 1t is the cycle maniac, who
lives on the wheel, who tears through
the streets and over the country roads,
both day and night, to the terror ofslow
moving people and nurses with peram-
bulators. spreading dust and dlsmay
and promoting profanity-it is he who
is threatened with breakdown of lung
tissue and with heart trouble from pro-
longed and frequent strain. The doctors
say we shall, i'll all probability, have q
cycler's heart, more dangerous and less
durable than the smokers heart.
People who have not the faculty OF
great enthusiasm for any sport can never
understand how absorbing wheeling be-
comes to many OF it's votaries. We have
heard of a cycling minister OF the Gospel,
who declared it to be one OF the mistakes
of the Creator that men were not born
with wheels. Not long ago the news
papers printed the letter OF a woman,
who had deserted her husband. He was
found by the doctors to be suffering from
bicychloris, and was prohibited from
riding, under penalty OF death. She con-
fessed herself bicychlomaniac, declared
her wheel was dearer to her than her
husband or any object under heaven,
and she could no longer bind herself to
one who could not spend his waking
hours on the wheel. Morphomania, nor
any other habit, will compare with this
! for intensity.
| One has only to converse with a con-
frmed and inveterate wheeler to be con-
WINGED OF the maniacal possibilities OF
the habit. 1t is very difficult to arouse
him to any interest in anything else. No
matter what subject is preached, his
mind will wander away from it and
back to his wheel. We seem to be only
at the beginning of mania that is to
be more widespread and deep seated than
ever was base ball. Each year the num-
Der OF wheelmen doubles, and the pro-
