The president of the United States is
no more informal than the sultan in
his manner of receiving guests. He
places his visitor beside him on the sofa
and himself lights the cigarette he
offers him. He is himself an inveterate
smoker; the cigarette is never out of his
fingers. AS the sultan is supposed to
speak no languages but Turkish and
Arabic his majesty, though a good
French scholar, carries on conversation
through a dragoman.
Quite recently a very great lady had
the honor of dining with his majesty
the first Turkish sovereign, by the way,
who has ever admitted a Christian wo-
man to his table. After dinner the lady
noticed a mousetrap, which had been
forgotten, OH enc of the chairs.
"Oh," said the sultan, THAT is an
excellent trap! 1t was sent to me from
England, and 1 have caught ten mice in
it today youths Companion.

Gold In Barnato's Body.

A German paper is responsible for
the announcement that Barney Barnato,
still more than the legendary king of
Peru, who was wont to have his body
gilded afresh every morning, deserved
the title of Ell Dorado-the "Man of
Gold"-not because of his wealth or
of his connection with gold mines, but
because his system actually secreted
gold. He was, says this credible au-
thority, the victim of a disease called
metallitis, his blood being permeated
with a powdery gold, as were his eyes.
nose, ears and all of his mucous men,
brane. The pain caused by this condi-
tion was SO intolerable that it is be-
lieved to have been the cause of his sui
eide.

81 had a singular experience during
a recent tour of Europe" remarked a
gentleman prominent in the literary
world, Sin the search for one of the
simple, ordinary butterfly neckties.
There was a time when l wore scarfs
and ties more elaborate, but that has
passed, and l, like many other men who
have passed the meridian of life, am
content with comfort instead of looks.
l had a pretty good supply of butterfly
ties with me, but somehow l mislaid
them while in Rome. l searched through
nearly every store in the Eternal City,
but could not find any. l had a similar
experience in Berlin and Vienna. | was
told, however, that l would have no
trouble to secure what I wanted in
Paris. but, though l tried nearly all the
large establishments, l could not find
such a thing, though there were hun
dreds of other styles easily obtainable.
Next / tried London, though more for
the fun of the thing than anything else,
for l had some made to order in Paris,
and, strange as it may appear, none of
the haberdashers of London could sup
ply them. Until this experience l did
not know that the butterfly tie is dis
tlnctly an American idea and is only
known here. : Washington Star.

Philadelphia also had the steamboat,
you will reply. Yes, but she did not
have the Hudson river.
The Hudson bad from the first been
an advantage to New York because it
afforded a highway for $50 miles inland
and thus had greatly aided in the early
settlement of the interior of the state
and of western New England. By the
Improvement Ct 5he steamboat river
travel at once became so cheap and
speedy that the country dealers and the
farmers themselves could go straight
down to New York to buy goods or do
their shopping at first hand, This
brought a great deal Of new business,
both wholesale and retail, to New York,
some of which was taken away from its
rival cities.
Moreover, the steamboats, and tow
boats lessened the cost of bringing
building materials, grain, hay, meat
and all the country grown food found
in city markets and therefore lessened
the expense and increased the comfort
of living and working here.

although they carry a fairly heavy
armament. The special classes,
such as the katahdin, and the Vesu-
vius, are also left out, and the list is
thus reduced to the bare fighting
strength of the navy.
The report is that one and posi-
bly, three of C~ervera's ships can be
saved. 1t seems to be settled that
the Colon is not seriously damaged,
and that she can be raised without
great difficulty. The Viscaya and
Oquendo suffered considerably
more, but there is a chance that they
will not prove a total loss. The
United States car use those ships.
They are frst-class cruisers, and
there is a niche in the navy that
they would fill handsomely.-Ana-

The letter & furnishes us a curious bit
of orientalism. Its Hebrew name is
gimel, camel, from the resemblance of
the Hebrew character to the head and
neck Of that animal. The character was
thus almost certainly derived from a
picture of that animal, which, reduced
to a hieroglyphic and then simplified,
still distantly indicates the shape of the
head and neck of the beast of burden
familiar to every dweller in eastern
lands.

Largest Yoke of Cattle.

Joe and Jerry are the names of the
largest yoEe of cattle ever seen in
America. They are the property of j.
d. Avery of auckland, Mass, and they
are 8 years old and measure 10 feet in
girth. They are II hands high, and
from tip to tip their measurement is 15
feet II inches. The two together weigh
1900 pounds, They are beautifully col
ored, are models of symmetry, and are
extremely docile and gentle. They have
been exhibited at all the large agricul-
tural fairs in the country. They are
black and white, like all pure Hol-
stems. The yoke they wear is said to be
the largest ever made, and is 7 feet long
and weighs 200 pounds. They walk a
mile in 80 minutes. Their horns are
magnificent and are highly polished.
Their owner has the oxen groomed
every day, and their coats shine like
satin. On a level they have pulled H.
061 pounds Of stone loaded on a dray,
moving it s feet in one draw. This is a
world record pull. They are fed from s
to IL quarts of corn and oats ground to-
| gether, 2 quarts of fax meal and from
6 to s quarts Of bran every day.-New

have been light. a great many mills
are running on short time and more ex-
pect TO be doing SO very shortly. Some

queatly the wool trade does not anticl-
pate an immediate Improvement In the

gardlnS the western situation are con-
nicting. but 1t looks as II matters had
begun to quiet down somewhat. TAX
ing both the Inactivity Of the mills and
the excessive firmness of the growers
into account, the outlook for the wool
dealers Is not quite so clear as they
might. wish. The traders are practical
~ unanimous in believing that wool
will eventually go to much higher
prices, but they are far from being
agreed that this end will be reached In
the Immediate future. Prices are as
we'll maintained as they have been for

Wheat started strong on the wholly
unexpected advance at Liverpool. Crop
damage reports continued otpour In,
although the weather was fairly favor
able. a good deal OF the complaint was
based on the assertion that owing to the
excess OF moisture the straw had been
abnormally developed. but the heads
have been poorly filed. so that the
yield was extremely disappointing. The
scattered threshing returns which came
| from the fields seemed to confirm this
view of the situation. The result was
that shorts began to show good deal
OF concern and started TO cover, the de-
| m1nd giving an upward turn TO prices.
The market remained firm, but without
much animation until after the middle
OF the session, when the mere llrmneSs
was changed into exceeding strength.
The crop damage reports were too per-
slstent and general to be doubted any
longer and the covering of short wheat
which had in the forenoon been con-
| Quoted with much care and unobtru-

business to retain Its early undcmon-
