the eagles have settled, t-eye- raise
loud shouting to drive them away.
And when the eagles are thus fright
ered away the men recover the pieces
of meat, and find them full of diamonds
which have stuck to the meat down
in the bottom. For the abundance OF
diamonds down there in the depths OF
the valley Is astonishing, but nobody
can get down; and if one could, it would
be only to be at once devoured by the
srpents which are 50 rife there.
There Is another way of getting the
diamonds The people go to the nests
of those white eagles, OF which there
are many, and find plenty Of diamonds
which the birds have carried of with
the meat that was cast into the valleys.
And when the eagles themselves are
taken diamonds are found in their
stomachs.
So now have told you three different
ways in which these stones are found.
No other country but this kingdom Of
Mutfih produces them, but there they
are found both abundantly and of large
size. Those that are brought TO our
part Of the world are only the refuse,
as it were, of the finer and larger
stones For the flower Of the diamonds
and other large gems, as well as the
largest pearls. are all carried 10 the
great khan and other kings and princes
of those regions; in truth, they pos
sess all the great treasures of the world.

MOHaMMED' COAT.
Sacred Relic to Which the Sultan
Annually Pays His Devotion.

No more striking illustration OF the
alarming condition OF affairs that pre-
vail just now at Constantinople could be
afforded them the fact that the sultan
should have considered it necessary to
proceed by water, instead of by land,
from his residence at the Yildiz Kiosk
to the old seraglio for the purpose of
paying his annual devotion to the holy
coat of Mohammed, which is preserved
in a great box IN the innermost sane
tuary OF the imperial treasury. The ex-
tent to which this garment is venerated
by al believers may be estimated by
the fact that the principal and most
highly cherished title of the sultan is
that Of guardian of the holy mantle"
This robe, which it is needless to say
is green, was brought to Constantine
pie by Sultan SeIim along with the keys
of the holy cities Of Medina and Mecca,
from Cairo, where they had been pre-
served until that time in the keeping of
the caliphs.
This worship OF the mantle by the
sultan is the most solemn and impor-
tant religious function which the Turk
lsh ruler is called upon to perform
throughout the year, and, as general
rule, his majsty's progress from the
Yildiz Kiosk TO the Sublime Porte is
marked by magnificent display Of
troops four or five ranks deep. who line
the entire route on either side.
This year, for the first time since his
accession TO the throne more than 20
years ago. the sultan, through dread Of
assassination, has abandoned the Gus
tomary procession by land. and has
gone by water instead, furtively and al
most by stealth, the public being led
till the last moment to believe by the
military display that the sultan was
about to proceed to the old seraglio in
The usual manner.-Cnicago Record.

Men Who Make Cyanide ofPotassium

There is a factory in Londcn that
makes only the deadliest poisons known
TO chemistry. Last year 1t produced
1000 tons of cynaide of potassium. Five
grains of this is sufficient to Kill a man.
In one room of the factory visitor
found tons of this deadly poison 1t re-
sembles very closely white crystallized

manager: 1T looks good enough to

that is Just one of the dangers we have
to guard against. Forasome inexplicac
ble reason cyanide of potassium exer-
cises a remarkable fascination over the

are haunted by a constant and ever-re-

" alive to the fact, however, that TO give
way to the craving would mean instant

able to resistit. But not always Dur

recognized that there are always two
men at work together in this branch OF
our business, and jar of ammonia,
which. as you may know. is the anti
dote 20 the poison, is kept constantly

Apart from this remarkable infatua-
zion. which may be likened TO the de-
sire experienced by many people when

GERMAN COURT BALLS.
The Waltz Is Still Danced ut the
Court of Stuttgart.


A few years ago the minuet and the
ravotte were the special dances of the
Berlin court, the kaiser himself having
taken a special fancy to them. Some
how they did not fad much favor IN so
ciety, as young people prefer Waiting,
and, after all. the old-fashicned dances,
like a good many old-fashioned habits,
are ali very well when the actors are
dressed in the clothes of the period and
resemble in mode of thought and car
riage OF body their great-grandparen1s.
But few young people are like their
forefathers. There was some reason for
the introduction of e fanciful and pic
turesque dance at the grand festivals of
the imperial court, especially as very
special rules prevailed there It is well
known that the late kaiSerin Augusta
strongly objected TO Waiting, and so
does the court of Berlin The conse-
quence is that kind of gallop was in
vented for Berlin-a two-timed move
ment, danced to the music of the waltz,
but not at all resembling the old deux-
temps waltz. In Mecklenburg the waltz
is never danced at all at court, the rea-
son for this being, as IL is said. that the
Grand Duchess Marie does not like dane
ing. Moreover, almost everywhere at
German courts the slow waltz was
looked down upon as bad style. Good
style depends upon the leaders of fash
ion, and so the slow waltz has been pro-
nounced as the correct kind 10 be
danced at the court of Stuttgart this
winter. Both the queen and her step
daughter are very fond of Waiting;
her majesty has ordered that the waltz
is TO be danced slowly at the court balls

FORGOT HIS PARCEL.
1T Was Lady Who Night Have Beer



1T Was Lady Who Might Have Been
His Wife.
A rather unique instance of absent
mindedness occurred the other evening
on the Jefferson avenue car line, says
the Detroit News-Tri5une.
The car was well filed with passen-
gers and as a stop was made at Ne
Dougall avenue a man stepped off the
back platform, where he had been stand
ing, and the car moved on.
Instantly a wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into q howl of despair us the distance
between him and the trolley car
widened. AS he shrieked he also ran
and waved his hands frantically. The
conductor, seeing the shadowy form
in the dimness of the night and hear
ing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell
strap and thus induced the motorman
to halt, which he did with jerk. The
man in pursuit came within hailing
distance.
What dye want?" shouted the
puncher of pasteboards.
81 want-thc-lady-in there!
gasped the man, swinging his hat at
the open car door. The car having
come to dead staudstill, woman
arose, deliberately walked out of the car
and was received by her breathless cs-
co~t, who had so nearly left her to her
e,to &c ,,,;cciDcr ,,orpnlc
Amid much laughter the next man
who left the car in company with lady
insisted that she walk in front of him
until safely on the ground.
