THE SULTAN'S ASTROLOGER.
Erected and Didn't Know
How to Use 1t.

The sultan of Turkeys imperial
astrologer, a Greek named Kun baris,
is a worthy representative of the
prevalent blend of superstition and
abysmal ignorance which character
ICES Abdul Hamid's court. This
worthy had on one occasion the bril-
liant idea of erecting a modern
astrological observatory in Yildiz
Kiosk. When the work was finished
and the instruments in place he
found he could neither work nor I'M
derstand them, and consequently a
professional astronomer had to be
summoned from Naples, says the
Washington Times.
This. however, did not diminish the
influence of Kumbaris who succeed
ed in preventing the distribution of
Mauser rifles among the imperial
troops in Constantinople in 1895 at
the first news of Armenian disturb
ances by the sage reminder that the
previous change in the succession
took place Immediately after dis
tribution of new guns. The sincerity
of this wonderful piece of advice
cannot be doubted. as the self-sac-
rifciug genius who offered il to his
worthy master rose from his sick bed
to do so.

Illuminated with dragons, flowers and
arabesques, embroidered in gold
thread and silk of various colors. The

yellow silk envelope, which is also
deliberately embroidered, and fastened
by ivory studs of the most ingenious
character.

DOOR FOR CHRYSANTHEMUM.
Florists Are Now Seeking Means to,
Add to the Flowers At
fractions.

How to impart perfume to the
pishment of which is just now ear
nestly being sought by florists, both
professional and amateur, in all sec
lions of the country. The development
of the chrysanthemum within the last
few years from an unattractive flower
to its present high state of perfection,
beauty and commercial value is one of
the wonders of horticultural history.
To English florists is due the credit of
this development, but this country has
not been slow in cultivating that flow
er, and the correctness of the CONNER
cial instinct of the professional florists
in this direction can be realized when
it is known that their revenue from
this flower alone was $500, 1000 last year,
More flowers are said to be bought
in New York than in any other city in
the world, and the prices paid are
higher In this connection it is not un
interesting to note that the flower in
dustry of the whole country, says the
Washington Star, is assuming large
proportions and is increasing in per-
haps more rapid ratio than other
commercial enterprises. The govern
ment figures are available for the year
1889, and show that during that year
S2,73S,426 was expended for the laborin
the flower industry in thiscountry. The
value of the whole product is placed at
S11,92S, S22, which commercial florists
have thought too low an estimate. The
land on which the flowers were raised
and the value of the buildings in use
is estimated at 49,. 469.4S7

UNCLE SANS RAILROAD.
A Six-MiIe Line That Is Used to Trans
port Ordnance Up and Down
sandy Hook

The United States is operating a
railroad of its own, and does not
make a cent out of it from one
years end to the other. Only few
miles from New York, on the Sandy
Hook peninsula, is a siX-mile steam
railroad, with Fort Hancock as one
terminal and Highland Beach as the
other. This road, says the Express
Gazette, while limited in its rolling
stock to one locomotive, one combin-
alton baggage and passenger car anG
several freight cars is in touch with
the whole country, as it connects at
Highland Beach with the Central
Railroad of New Jersey.
Large operations in the line Of
ordnance tests are secretly conduct
ed at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds by the ordnance department
portation of this ordnance, together
with ammunition and supplies, that
furnishes the bulk of business of this
railroad. The passenger traffic is
small, as it is limited to those hav-
ing passes issued by the military au-
thorities of the United States. Aside
from the inscription SANDY Hook
Proving Grounds" which appears on
the cars and locomotive, there is
nothing about the train to suggest
the ownership of the road. Never
theless, it is Uncle Sans own rail
road with an artillery sergeant as
conductor, and traffic manager, Col.
j. b. Burbank. who is at present in
command AT Fort Hancock.

The Home of Kisses.

As many kisses as shots are eX-

officers, the officers kiss each other
men embrace lovingly; old generals
kiss; in fact, everybody is kissing and
being kissed when the ear reviews his
troops. On a public holiday the mis-
tress of the house salutes all her serv-
ants, both male and female, with a
morning kiss, while her lord and
master scarcely enters or leaves the
room that day without first bestowing
kiss on the forehead, cheek or hand
of his spouse.
