a Cheerful Prospect.

A nervous yo1ng minister was filling
the pulpit for country charge that was
without a regular pustOr. a part of his
experience is touchingly related by the
local paper. The very pious old lady at
whose house he staid, in showing him
his room, said.
at amt everybody I'd put In this
room. This here room is full of sacred
associations to mo, " she went on. My
first husband died in that bed, with his
head on three pillows, and poor Mr..
jerks died sittin IN that corner. Some
times when I come into the room in the
dark 1 think I see him sittin there
still. My own father died lyin right on
that lounge right under the window
there. Poor po, he was q spiritualist,
and he allus said he'd appear in this
room after he died, and sometimes am
foolish enough to look for him. II you
should see anything Of him tonight,
you'd better not tell mo. It'd be sign
to me that there Was sonlethin in spir-
itualism, and I'd hate to think that. Ny
son by my first man fell dead OF heart
disease right where you stand. He was
O doctor, and there's two whole skele-
tons in that closet there bclongin to
him, and half dozen skulls il that
lower drawer. If you are up early and
want somethin to amusc yourself before
breakfast, just open that cupboard there,
and you will find lot of dead mems
bones. My poor boy thought lot of
them. We'll, good night, and pleasant
dreams!" - Pittsburg Chronicle Tele-

FOOD FOR THE CATS.
English sparrows Have to Fight For Their
Lives In London.

If left to l. .mself, the London sparrow
would probably multiply exceedingly,
for there is enough waste from every
human household TO keep at least one
pair of sparrows. That would give some
thing like 1000, 900 sparrows 10 the
area Of greater London. But these fig
ures do not represent actual facts. The
sparrow population is vigorously kept
down, not by want of fecundity-for at
the ZOO, for instance, where food and
shelter abound, the birds seem to breed
at all seasons of the year-but by the
operation Of the natural enemy, that
great fact in ali wild life, which even
the progressive London sparrow cannot
avoid. The natural enemy in this case
is the London cat. If any one will count
no the number Of houses III his or her
knowledge which do not possess a cat,
the numbers ard ubiquity of the natural
enemy will become apparent. Poor
people keep more cats than rich people,
so the small houses abound in cats.
Rich folsk' cats which have large
houses, as rule, only catch the spar
rows on their own estate, but poor cats
have to poach at large, and their ravaSes
among the young sparrows are prodi-
gious. Ii has been observed that spar
row killing cat bags on an average two
young BIRDS :. day, No amount Of cor
rection seems to prevent their indul-
gence in this form Of sport. They know
it is wrong, but it is too fascinating.
One young cat Of the writer's acquaint-
ance went into u fit after mild beating
for killing young sparrows, and as soon
as he recovered went off to catch an
other. a cat in the same house which
was surprised with two naked nestlings
in its mouth clipped them underneath
mat on the stairs when it saw its mis-
tress approaching Nature is too strong
for them, and the drawing room pussy
seems no more able to resist the taste
for sport than the stable c2t-London

REAL ORIENTAL SPLENDOR.
Moustapha Bey Preparing His Official Res
idence In Washington.

1QCnCG IN w dSllH1Sohs
The national capital will witness some
real oriental splendor the coming official
season. The newly appointed Turkish
minister, who presented his credentials
recently to President Cleveland, is
man of great wealth and proposes to dis
pense it literally at the American cap
ital. 1t is the intention of Moustapha
Bey to have all the members OF the
Turkish legation established under one
roof, where the legation business is also
to be transacted To carry out this plan
Moustapha Bey and his first secretary,
Norighian Efendi. accompanied by
Nine. Norighian, who is to be the
charming mistress Of the household, are
looking for a large residence in the fash
ionable locality and have decided upon
two spacious houscs-one In the neigh
borhood of the British embassy on N
street and the other on Massachusetts
avenue.
The drawing rooms-in fact, the en-
tire housewife display much Of tho
individuality of the Turkish people and
surroundings. The finest of Turkish
rugs and hangings arc to be in evidence,
besides many of the superb art curios
of That faraway land. Mime. Norighian
has in the reception room Of the Turkish
legation, now on R street, small rug,
hardly more than Il yards in length
and O half yard in width, which cost
over $500. This illustrates the priceless
value of the collection that is to orna-
ment the new Turkish homo.
Handsome dinners will be feature
of the entertaining there this winter,
and doubtless other affairs will mark
the gay season at the new Turkish lega-
ton.
The new minister is charmed with
Washington and will enter enthusiast
tically into the social life there. Or
course he will not bring his wife and
several small children to this country,
being a Turk, as 1t is an ironolad Gus
tom that Turkish ministers never take
