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

idence In Washington.
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 a
man of great wealth and proposes to dis
pense it literally at the American cap
ital It 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 bis first secretary,
Norighian Effendi, 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 houses-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 the
individuality OF the Turkish people and
surroundings The finest Of Turkish
rugs and hangings are to be III evidence,
besides many OF the superb art curios
of that PARKWAY land Nine. Norighian
has in the reception room of the Turkish
legation, now On r street, q small rug,
hardly more than Is yards IN length
and a half yard IL width which cost
over $500 This illustrates the priceless
value of the collection that is to orna-
ment the new Turkish home.
Handsome dinners will be a 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. OF
course he will not bring his wife and
several small children to this country,
being Turk, as it is al ironolad GUS
tom that Turkish ministers never take
with them their families when accept
ing post ia a foreign land. 1t is only
the Greeks or other non Moslems who
have this privilege when representing
the great territory of the sultan.
Moustapha Bey is distinguished look
ing, his beard slightly tinged with the
marks Of approaching age, but he is vi
vac1OuS and cOnveTseS with rapldlty. lie
speaks six languages = the Turkish
tongue. French. Armenian, Syrian.
Arabic. Greek and little English.
The new second secretary who accom-
panied Moustapha Bey to this country,
Seiftlen Bey, is a Greek and is said to
be the handsomest diplomat in Wash
ington. He seems to possess all the beau
ty of the Greeks in the romance and
song of centuries ago. And it is said
that many feminine hearts have been
lost to him even now before he has
been i'll Washington a week. Perhaps he
may be induced to understand the sig
nificance of leap year, which is fast
passing away. Seifitlen Bey was edu-
Gated in Paris, where he spent the
greater part of his life Like the min
lister, he speaks many tongues, is exceed
ingly FOND of music and enjoys society
immensely. -Boston Post.

My neighbor. contrary to what you
might expect of SO popular a man,
rarely does expensive kindnesses. He
cannot. for he is a sick man and not
having strength to spare he has not

Color Line in South Africo.

Mr.. John Brice writes as follows il
the course of an interesting article in
the Century Magazine: In South Afri-
Ca it rarely. if ever, happens that a
native, whatever his rank, is received
on any social occasion inside a white
house. When Khama, the famous chief
of the Ba-Mangwato, a Christian. and
man of admittedly high character.
who has ruled his people with singu-
lar wisdom and ability. was in Eng
land last autumn, and was there en-
tertained at lunch by the Duke of
Westminster and other persons of So
cial eminence, the news excited gen.
eral annoyance and disgust among the
whites in South Africa. Thus one may
say that there is no social intercourse
whatever between the races; their re.
lations are purely those of business.
Now and then the black man gets
ahead Of the white, but the latter's
pride of race remains. was told of
a white who condescended to be hired
to work by Kafir, but stipulated that
the Kaffir should address him as
Boss" Intermarriage is not forbidden
by law in the two British colonies, as
in most, If not all, of the Southern
States Of America, but 1t Is excessively
rare; nor does 1t appear that there
are now other irregular unions, outside
marriage. as there constantly were in
the old days while slavery existed. In
this respect the case of South Africa
remarkably resembles that of the
Southern States, where also there is
now very little mixture of blood.
though there was great deal fifty
years ago.

A postal Card MAGNET.

No doubt you've all made a rubber

bling it briskly on a rough coat-sleeve
but did you ever hear Of a postal card
that could be turned into a magnet?
Balance a waiking-stick on the back
Of a chair and tell the spectators that
you are going to make 1t fall without
touching it or the chair. Having thor
oughly dried postal card, preferably
before an open fire. rub it briskly on
your sleeve and then hold It near one
end of the stick. The stick will at
once be attraced to the card and will
follow it es il it were a magnet. AS It
moves it will soon lose its equilibrium
and fall from the chair. OF course you
understand the principle Of the expert

Wales Pays $40 Apiece for Lounge

The Prince of Wales is by no means

pictures seem to Indicate 1t is not
every man turned so with a forty-five
inch chest who can boast of a waist
of not more than forty inches If he
occasionally appears s.outer it is be-
cause he likes his clothes to be loose
and easy. This is especially the case
with those particular suits known as
Lounge SUITS" For these he never I'M
der any circumstances pays more than
$40. A few years ago Sir Francis
knollys. his private secretary, finding
that his tailOrs were overcharging him,
fixed upon uniform price for each
suit. They are ordered in half dozens
at time. There is likewise a regular
and fixed price of $3.50 for his trous-
ers. which under no pretext whatsoever.
save in the case of uniforms, is ex-
ceeded. The prince has a horror of
evening dress. which he considers hid
eous. He prefers evening dress to uni
forms. however, and uses twelve suits
OF these year at fixed price of $50

pair of trousers more than four times.

LISTENS WHILE YOU TALK.


he two principals are pleased, it is
aone of his business.
Neighbor Jim is popular with the
women. because he is always cordial.
but never gets of compliments. To
say very complimentary or pretty
things to one woman puts a man in
a dangerous plight with all the others.
You cannot say the same of all, or you
are counted insincere. But you can
look pleased with all. Jim seems to
look delighted when ladies talk with
him. He exerts himself to entertain
them. But no one can go away and
quote a burning compliment to make
all the other women green with jeal-
ousy and incipient dislike. It is not
generally much considered, but the
complimenting neighbor does not, as
a rule, get along we'll for any length
If time.
Neighbor Jim has a way Of draw
ing out men who have heretofore been
in hole. He gets hold of unpopular
fellows. helps them to show up their
good sides. somehow puts them on ex-
hibiti0n to advantage, and gives them
recognition among us. He pulls men

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.
New Translucent Fabric for Use ~ SIX
lights and Vault Covers.

New Translucent Fabric for Uso as Sky
lights and Vault Covers.
The translucent Fabric recently
brought out by New England firm to
take the place of glass skylights has.
after a continuous experimental service
of seven years been pronounced to be in
as good condition as when first put in
place. The material has many advan-
tages claimed for it, chief of which is
that by its employment in train sheds,
freighthouses and similar buildings
having skylights Of large areas, the
light weight of the material permits
of a simple. inexpensive and light form
Of skylight construction. The joints
are made water-tight by a special form
of construction employed with this ma
terial. The fabric is said to have
marked advantages over glass in being
practically unbreakable, and for this
reason leaks on account Of breakage
or cracking are not experienced. The
translucent fabric consists of a trans
parent material spread over steel wire
cloth, with twelve meshes per inch,
which gives the panels flexible and
elastic property, permitting adjust
ment to any shape that the roof struct-
ure may take owing to the expansion
and contraction of the framework. The
manufacturers state the the skylights
mentioned as having been in use for
over seven years have never leaked
during that time, nor have they cost
anything for repairs. Several large
industrial establishments have been
fitted up with this material, among 9TH
ers the General Electric Co.'S new shops
at Schenectady, N. Y, and the new
forge shops of the Berlin Iron Bridge
Co., of Connecticut The fabric is
strong and in panels 1Sx26 inches in
size, has carried weight of over 400
pounds per square foot. The amount of
light transmitted is equal Ia that O.
ribbed glass one-quarter of an inch in
thickness. The material will not burn
unless set five to at the edges, when
it will burn very slowly. Brands or
Goals dropped upon it will not set fire
to it. Its cost is much less-:O to 30
per cent-than that of ordinary glass

KNOWLEDGE OF AMoroRMAst.

Railway CompaniC3 Trying to Determine
How Much He Should Know.
Street railway companies are trying
to determine just how much it is ad-
visable for a motorman to know, and
under what conditions he can be re-
garded as minding his own business.
SuperiRtendents differ on what consti-
tutes in the motorman the ability to
properly handle his car One man
wants his employees taught the theory
of electricity and the working of the
motor. and gives each man a kit of
tools. expecting him to be familiar
with their use. and to make small re-
pairs. Another man forbids them to
open motor. and expects more mar
row but rigid adherence to rules of
harm arises from tinkering with mo-
tors than is recouped by any good that
may be effected. and he is right. He
says the motorman is hired to run the
car, and the repairs should be done
in the shops. Another official prescribes
a middle course and would be disposed
to allow that the motorman should be
competent to the extent Of remedying
such troubles as arise from blowing OF
fuses or breaking of ground circuit by
the car running into dirty track; and
even loose brushes might be included
in the category of remedial faults. Be-
yond these points he would merely ask
an honest attention to work and care
Of the rolling stock. It is suggested
that proper records should be kept
of the efficiency of motormen. as is
done with locomotive engineers on the
steam roads. The most useful man is
not he who can turn his hand to all
kinds of little repairs on the road,
SO much as the careful operator
whose handling of the car renders such
little repairs unnecessary. Some men
are forever tinkering with machinery,
and varying things to suit some fancy
notion of their own when they have
not intelligence enough to perceive the
object of certain details of construc-
ton. For example, a whole machine
was recently wrecked in consequence
OF workman having omitted single
screw because he did not think it was
necessary. Many accidents are due to
subordinates acting on similar lines.
The shop alters things to show its con-
tempt for the drawing Office, bat the
drawing Office has to shoulder the
blame when an accident happens. In
regard to the motorman's situation the
general feeling seems to be that an or
ganized business is best conducted on
fairly rigid lines as to separate duties,
and that the car shop is the best place
for repairs. Enquirer.
