A Wet Country.

The railroad which. with ito
branches, connects Colombo, the cap
ital OF Ceylon, with the interior of the
island. is remarkable for the engineer
ing skill shown in its construction. and
for its prosperity. It makes an ascent
OF thirty-lve hundred feet by q sue
cession OF loops and curves, with here
and there a tunnel. The chief Difficult
ty in running the railroad is due to tho
way in which the rain comes down. A
recent book OF travel, "A Run Round

This for Mothers.

On one Of the trains entering New
York q few weeks ago, a woman at
forded her fellow passengers an un-
conscious, but powerful, object lesson.
With the woman was a little girl
about six years old. The day was
warm, and through the open windows
the dust drifted in q fine gray cloud.
Every passenger was exceedingly un-
comfortable, but each forgot his dis
comfort in the spectacle Of that SUI
fering child. The mother began oper-
atoms by seating her little daughter
beside her with a thump that made
the infants teeth rattle. Then, at in
tervals of one or two minutes during
the weary journey she paid the child
these maternal attentions: She took
off her hat; she smocthed her hair:
she put the hat on again; she removed
the child's little jacket, and put in on
again; she Strengthened her collar:
she wiped her face with her handker-
chief; she removed an imaginary Gin
der from her eye; she smocthed her
hair again; she took off and retied the
ribbon on her hair; she stood her up
and smoothed her down; she unfas-
tened the bow at her neck and retied
it. Over and over she followed this
program while the awe-struck passen-
gers looked On. The child accepted
the situation with grim endurance.
Evidently she had been used to It all
Of her short life. The world to her
was a strange place where mothers
exhausted their nervous energy in use-

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 $7,5O0,OOo a
year. This seems an enormous gro
Gerry and butchers bill, but it must be
remembered, that, including his 300
brevet wives, the palace %eunuchs,
the servants and officers of the i'm
perial household, no less than 5000
people are catered for daily when Abb
dull Hamid is "in 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 han
5000 pounds daily. The bakery statf
is a small army, for, besides the bak-
ers, there are the buyers and the
slaves who purchase the flour and rye
and the fuel for the fires. One ton OF
rice is used daily in making the lnev-
liable "pillaf" or pilau without which
no Turk thinks he has really made a
meal. This dish consists of rice boil
ed with mutton, kid or fowl, and fla
vored with raisins, spices, butter and
the cook only knows what else. Then
there are consumed daily 600 pounds
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 is
little doubt that a portion of this enor-
mou amount of food is disposed Of as
perquisites by the palace officials; for
even 5000 people scarcely could con-
sumo all that the sultan pays for daily
in the shape of food. The sultan him
self is a small eater. His breakfast
consists of fruit, coffee and a roll, and
at luncheon he eats pilau, fruit and
some sweets. He seldom drinks spirit
uous liquors, but INDUCES in large
quantities of sherbet and eats an in
credible amount Of ice cream. ALI the
food for the sultan is prepared by
man alone, and is cooked in dishes of

opinion that beauty attracts a man

rule the beauties do not have half so
good a time as pretty women who are
less self conscious. There are many
beautiful women who completely lack

Queen Margherita of Italy is a skill
full mountaineer, and has a 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 m%ountaineer, 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.

Had he been speaking to the merest

colder or more stern. Then he turned
quickly away. and Lady Caraven walk
ed across the coppice and through a
lane into the high road. She walked
quite mechanically. She had to go to
Worseley. to take a ticket to London,
and then go to her fathers house. She
repeated the words over and over again
to herself, like a child who breads for
getting a lesson. Her face was deadly
pale; her limbs trembled with cold.
b golden stars shone down upon her;
the night winds whispered round her.
q walked on, unconscious Of it all.
1t was the early dawn of morning
when she reached the station-a large
railway junction where she was both
unknown and unnoticed. The train
started for London In half an
hour. No one spoke to her or appear
ed to see her as she took her place, and
IN a few minutes more she was on her
way.
1t was a hard punishment-terribly
hard for such a trifle, she thought, won
der1ng that the earl could be SO stern.
She was tired, fatigued with passion
and emotion. She had neither eaten,
frank nor slept since the evening be-
fore. When she reached London she
asked a porter to call a cab for her,
and gave the address-"Mr. Ransome,
the Hollies, Kew" and the drive
thdther seemed to her more than ever
like q dream.

Cricket Still the Favorite Gamo.

Cricket still holds it's 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 to
a very large sum, which, in accord
anc with custom, was handed over to
