"A SUltan'S
Dishes

1t costs a good deal to feed a mon
arch; the cheapest of them are most
expensive luxuries. The sultan of
Turkey is a most costly article of
bric-a-brac, especially for a bankrupt
nation. The cost Of the mere neces-
saries Of life for him and his house
hold amounts to about $75OO,00O a
year. This seems an enormous gro
Gerry and butchers bill, but it must be
remembered, that, including his. 800
brevet wives, the palace eunuchs, and
the servants and officers of the i'm
perial household, no less than 5000
people are catered for daily when Abb
dul Hamid is Gin residence" at Yildiz
or Dolma Bagtche palace. Enormous
quantities Of bread are consumed by
the sultan and his household, the pal
ace bakeries turning out no less than
$4,000 pounds daily. The bakery staf
is a small army, for, besides the bak-
ers, there are the buyers and the
slaves who purchase the -four and rye
and the fuel for the fires. One ton of
rice is used daily in making the inev-
table "pillaf" or pllau without which
no Turk thinks he has really made a
neal. This dish consists Of rice boil
ed with mutton, kid or fowl, and fla
vored with raisins, spices, butter anc
the cook only knows what else. Their
there are consumed daily 600 pound;
of sugar and a like amount of coffee
not to mention huge quantities Of
other groceries, fruit and vegetables
The water for the household is brought
to the palace in great round casks
from two streams which empty into
the Bosporus.
AS every part of the Turkish admin
istration is nearly as rotten as Tam
many Hall (but not quite), there Il
little doubt that portion of this enor
nous amount Of food is disposed Of al
perquisites by the palace officials; TO
even 5000 people scarcely could con
sumo all that the sultan pays for dali
in the shape Of food The sultan him
self is a small eater His breakfas
consists Of fruit, coffee and a roll, an
at luncheon he eats pilau, fruit an
some sweets. He seldom drinks spirit
uous liquors, but indulges in larg
quantities of sherbet and eats an in
credible amount Of ice cream. All tn
food for the sultan is prepared by on
man alone. and is cooked in dishes

The Meanest Woman.

about the meanest man." said Mr.

Peckham went on; She lives around

cricket stm the Fayorlte Game.

Cricket still holds its own in the
British Isles in spite Of the increased
attention paid to football golf and
other sports. This was strongly
shown by the records of attendance
and receipts at the annual match be-
tween Yorkshire and Lancashire. This
match lasted three days and the aver
age daily attendance of spectators
was 10000. The profits amounted tc
a very large sum, which, in accord
ance with custom, was handed over tc
the champion professional player.

another, and II anything harder
blow. Col. Henry Watterson, the
guardian angel Of the only original
gtar-eyed goddess Of reform, declared
in an interview at Saratoga Springs
recently that he had not seen horse
race in fifteen years.
An old Kentuckian on hearing Of
this statement relapsed into the follow

In every one Of the three great geo.

the blue grass, the bar grass, and the

Queen Margherita Of Italy is skill
full mountaineer, and has firm head
and a steady foot when treading the
Businesses of her native country. Clad
in the practical peasant dress, with
short skirt, her majesty is never SO
happy as when roaming about her be-
loved mountains or ascending some
height. Queen Helene Of Italy is also
a skillful mountaineer, for as a girl
she was accustomed to scale the noun
tains Of Montenegro with her father
and brothers in pursuit Of game, so
that she adds a love for sport to her
love for the mountains.

"A big university" he said, "needs management, and that re- quires time and care such as any who would be appointed to the governing board of a great national university would not have time to give" The latest objector of note to the national university plan is President William R. Harper, of the University of Chi cago, who spoke against it at the re- cent meeting of the National Educa- tional association at Detroit; but in spite of his arguments the associa- tion passed resolutions favoring it's establishment.

9 riding cart, attaching it to the long irawbar of the harrow, and it is prov Ing the most satisfactory method ever tried. It adds but little to the draft an extra horse may be put on it if the team finds difficulty in pulling the harrow-and the driver can better manage his horses, as he is not re- luired to keep constant watch of his steps, and he is always at an equal dis Gance from them.
 The cart uses some wide-tired wheels, old corn planter wheels being just the thing. These wheels are placed on an axle made on or bo1ted co a four by four, to which the seat is bo1ted by means of standards running from the seat to the four by four and 70 the brace between the shafts which connect the cart with the long draw bar to which the evener and whiff1e- trees are hitched. It might seem at a glance as though the whifietrees night be caused to bump the horses heels and cause other trouble, but this is not the case, as the weight of the cart keeps the drawbar and evener up off the ground.

regular service. Rhena Dwight was kneeling right on the hard stones of the pavement offering prayer. Stuart could not hear the words, but he could see the pale, earnest face. He hesi- tated where he was. He thought he would go on home. Then he thought he would go into the hall and see what kind of a meeting the army had. At last as the army rose and went by up the street beating it's drum he turn ed slowly and walked in the same di- rection. Just as he entered the hall he might have heard if he had not been too absorbed in where he was going sound borne over the frosty ground and through the clear mountain air from the direction of De Mott.

manent fund for the support of the institution. As such fund it is to draw five per cent. interest. The students are to have access to all in stitutions, collections and oppor tun- ities for study and research under control of the government so far as possible without detriment to the pub lie service. The heads of all bureaus and departments are to cooperate with the officers of the university in securing the desired advantages for the students.
 It was the hope of Senator Kyle that complete report in favor of this bill might be made early in December next. He hoped that by having the report thus early in the session an act would be passed creating the much-talked-of institution and put ting in a way to realization the hopes and plans of President Washington. There have been several favorable re- ports on such a bill, but always so late in the session that nothing could be done.
 The president of Harvard university was antagonistic to the idea of 8 na- 4ional university. One objection urged by him was that the climate will not permit study to continue longer each year than from the middle of October

owners at the lower range had not yet succeeded in getting enough men in to go to work Several of them who had gone on from Champion had been per suaded to leave. The troops were still at De Mott, and the speeches of the miners in their daily meetings at the park were growing more bitter agalns' them. The wounded officer at the ho- tel was recovering. His friends had come up to take care of him, and the doctor thought he could go home at the end of the week. Andrew Burke had proved a delightful companion to the officer. He had moved some of his choicest roses down into the room and had himself proved the truth of the proverb, "A merry heart doeth good like medicine"
 It was Friday night that the Vas plaines had invited Aunt Royal, Lou ise and Stuart to quiet dinner at their house. Stuart did not want to go. He knew what the company would be, and he had no liking for the young Vas blaine who for a year or two now was evidently trying to win the favor of Louise. Stuart, even before the eXperf- ence which made life a new thing for him, never had any fellowship except that of an acquaintance with Vas blaine, and he knew enough about him to dislike his immoral character and his general make up as man.
 The family was exceedingly wealthy, and next to the Duncans' their house was the finest in Champion. It was built at the other end of the valley to- ward the park. The elder Vasplaine had retired some years before. His brother and his son carried on certain lumber and copper industries north of Champion. They were not directly in- terested in the iron mines, except as they were involved in the general con- dition of business, all of which, of course, felt the effect of the strike. There was also in the family a daugh- ter, Miss Una Vasplaine, a young wo- man about Louise's age. The girls had been playmates.
 Stuart was sitting by Miss Vasplaine at this dinner, and the conversation was general all about him. He was just replying to a question put by his companion, and she had rallied him on his serious appearance. Miss Una was vivacious, a striking looking girl, and Stuart in the old days had always found her an agreeable talker. He smiled in reply to her question and was on the point of answering when the whole company received a shock that set the ladies screaming and the gentlemen starting to their feet in alarm.
 The large dining room fronted on the veranda, and magnificent plate glass window extended from the floor almost to the ceiling, looking out on the pine tree lawn. The night was clear and frosty. It was growing late in the sea- son, and winter would soon set in; the ground was bare now and drg.- The moon was just coming up over the Da- wis hill range.
 Suddenly through this window a chunk of iron ore came crashing right over the table. It scattered the glass in every direction, crashed through the pendants Of the electric chandelier and

 The affair was so unexpected, it came so without warning, that the compa- ny was terrified and altogether shock ed. Aunt Royal was the first to speak.
 That's the work of some of your precious strikers::''
 "I don't believe it, Stuart shouted In his heart he cursed the saloon and all its great wickedness. He believed the hand that flung the ore was rum crazed.
 The men all rushed out on the veran- da, and the elder Vasplaine, thorough ly incensed at the outrage, ordered his horses out, and as soon as they were ready he and his brother started off down the road in pursuit. Word was sent to the police force in Champion of the affair. Stuart remained with the ladies for awhile, and then, as young Vasplaine volunteered to escort them home, he hurried down into the town to investigate the matter. He did not believe any of the miners would do such a thing. They had done enough that had prejudiced the owners against them, but only when under the infu- ence of drink. Besides, Vasplaine was not an owner now, although he had been years before.
 Stuart found everything quiet in the town. Most of the miners were still in De Mott. It was murmured that a large load of men was coming in that night. He remained at the office a little while and then started out for home.
 As he came out on the street he saw the Salvation Army. It was kneeling at the corner for it's outdoor meeting just before going to its hall to hold its
