Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many "home
dressmakers' in putting on bone cas-
ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left loose-even wrinkled-as the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper arching shape on the in
side Whalebone soaked in warm water
an hour before using render them more
pliable. Belt ribbon should never be
sewed to the underarm seams. Bent
hooks should be chosen for fastenings,
setting on first a hook and then an eye,
and so on alternately down the bodice,
and it will never unlock of itself.
Waist Innings are cut an inch longer than
the outside to allow for the stretching
of the outside material. The extra
length is taken up gradually in the
seams.

He Rules the Sultan.
ii mes.

1t does seem as if tine time has nearly
come when Turkey must be interfered
with. That unhappy country is said to
be now wholly at the mercy of the mis-
cradle creature named Izzet, who has
gained most unaccountable influence
over the sultan, from whom he conceals
the greater part of the atrocities that
take place daily and hourly in some part
of the empire.
Izzet is described as small Of stature
and of feeble physique, with an exceed
ingly cunning expression and most di-
abolical smile To his superiors be
cringes, and to all others he is insolent.
He is a fanatical Mohammedan and is
said to have declared his intention to
exterminate the Armenian nation. Un-
til recently be was obscure and un-
known, but about year ago ho sudden
ly sprang into almost absolute power,
and the old pashas, favor ties aud tie
whole palace clique hate and fear him.
A gentleman living III Constantinople
and having access to trust worthy sources
of information says: ''Izzet is detestcd
by everybody in Constantinople, Euro
pean as we'll as Turk / have not met q
single person who has a good word to
say for him, and have heard him ac-
cused Of almost every possible crime. "

BATTLES IN BLOOD.
Revolving Practice of the Wife of the Alb
yssInian Monarch.

JSSlAi"u uAOudEChS
There is today christian empress
who orders scores of children to be slain
annually in order that she may battle in
their blood! 1t sounds unbelievable,
but it is the unyarnished truth.
We have been hearing a good deal
lately about the comparative enlighten-
ment of the Abyssinians, or at any rate
of their emperor and empress, while in
! England appeals have been made in the
churches for the protection of these peo-
pie against invaders, they being repre-
sented as a harmless body of christians
of primitive and simple type.
The Emperor Menelik's wife is Tai
tou, She has been empress for about
five years, supplanting "a previous wife,
whom he divorced. TaitOu is RENAL k
able woman, not only for her cruelty,
which is extreme, but for the ascendan-
cy which she has obtained over the en-
perOr, or Negus Negusti (king of kings),
as he is termed in his own country
While MenelikWas formerly an extreme
ly self-willed man nothing is now done
without the sanction of the empress,
who appears to have facinated him to an
extraordinary extent. AS told before,
he obtained her by cruel crime, and
careless of human life as he is-it is
doubtful if the slau shter of young chill
dren she demands would be allowed were
it not for the ascen1ancy she has obtain
ed.
Travellers to Abyssinia are invariably
struck by the nu nber of children who
carry scars of burns, and are otherwise
mutilated. 1t is also noticed that scarce
ly child, however young, can be found
who has not had its ears pierced. This
state of affairs arises from the strange
and horrible belief of Taitou. The en-
press is descended from family of lep-
ers, and is fearful of suffering from this
hereditary disease. In some way or 9th
er she has become imbued with the idea
that if she battles in the blood of young
children she will escape the terrible
curse of her ancestors.
She, therefore, ordered search to be
made through the country for young
children of healthy appearance and with
out marks of any kind upon their bod
les. Even those with pierced ears were
not considered suitable. Before the
wretched peasants Of Abyssinia could
take precautionary measures dozens of
children were sDatched from their
homes to be put to death for the sake of
the queens health. AS soon as parents
came to know of the danger menacing
their little onesI they branded them with
hot irons and pierced their ears, and this
is the explanation of the mutilation no.

Lawn Billiards.

A new outdoor game has been invent
ed by the young Countess Of Warwick.
It is called lawn billiards" and is des-
tined to prove a formidable rival to
tennis at garden parties. The lawn is
laid ont like an immense billiard table.
The balls are similar to croquet balls,
but are made of celluloid and are hol-
low; the cues are short handed mallets,
and the cushions are banks Of sod. The
game is said to be interesting, but diff

The Guild Of Good Fellows.

Probably no fraternity includes sc
many good fellows as the Guild of TRAY
cling Statesmen. 1t will therefore be
of interest to all other good fellows to
know that the genial drummers are go
ing to have a great fair, to last from
Dec. 10 to 80, at Madison Square Gar
den, New York. The purpose is to raise
$3.50, OO0to complete the National Com
mercial Travellers home, now partly
built, at Binghamton, N. Y. A phase
of the drummers' work for the fair is
that this year they are going to cele-
brate Dec. /, which is gradually be-
coming recognized as commercial trav-
elers' day, by sending some cash dona-
tion, however small, to the fair to help
build the home. The drummers are ask
ing hotels, theaters and big retail stores
to swell their business on commercial
travellers day and devote percentage
of their receipts to the fair for the home.

was very little steam, and the engine
barely moved, but it went far enough
to plunge into the "pit." Miraoulously,
Ruby was not hurt. The engine was,
however.
The usual number of policemen was
required to take him away, and as usu-
al he howled all night long in the sta
tion house. The police sent him back to
Albany. The following night he was
found asleep in the cab of an engine in
the Greenbush Toundhouse Ruby re-
fused to get out in spite of the coaxing
of the men. Finally the offer of box
of cigarettes won the day.
Lately the boy has been travelling
around the country on passenger trains.
He seldom has any money, and when he
has he will not pay his fare. His un-
fortunate condition never fails to arouse
the sympathy of passenger, who pays
what the conductor demands.
The police about Albany for many
miles know Ruby, and they had rather
see horde of tramps walk into town
than him. -NeY York World.
