A MALAL SULTAN IN ENGLAND.
Amusing Experiences of the Sultan of
 Perak.

From the London Standard.
 In the September number of Blackwood MT Hugh Clifford, c. M. G., in an arti- cle called "Piloting Princes" relates some amusing "reminiscences of the many occasions upon which it has been his duty to act as conductor to various Ma layan royalties During the coronation festivities he was officer in attendance upon the sultan of Perak, and his com panions, all of whom, with the exception of the sultan himself, who had been in London before, were amazed beyond measure at the size and appearance of London. During part of their stay the weather was very cold.
 "On the night of their arrival I went through the suite of rooms which had been placed at our disposal, for the pur- et- sflvofdtag,n,oz 123 7s9 ET9A0s. INN pose of seeing that all was well with my friends: and 1t was fortunate that l did so for found two of the chiefs sleeping on the outside of their beds, with only a silk coverlet, such as Is used in their own country, pulled up about their necks. They were shivering miserably, and aroused them and inquired what they
 
 begone fashion that they were trying to get to sleep, and that they considered the circumstances somewhat adverse. They had a courteous reluctance to say any, thing deprecatory concerning the climate of my native land, but it was plain that 1t met with their unqualified disapproval. I suggested to them the advisability of getting into their beds, and they gazed at me wonderingy. Have they any in- sides?'' they asked. In their own country a sleeping mat is a sleeping mat, and bed-clothes do not exist, wherefore a bed had never been presented to their im- aginations as anything save a mat upon which to lie. I pulled open their beds, popped them in, tucked them up turned out the light. and bade them tell me how they liked the unusual experience. Next morning they were loud in their praise of the new discovery of Europena in- genuity. How great they, exclaimed. is the intelligence of the white folkg

The Beef Habit.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 "The orders of our customers are dic- tated by habit rather than by appetite.'' said the manager of a Broadway noon- day lunch place. That is why we have to provide such quantities of roast beef"
 ''I was standing near one of the tables the other day when man with a pre- occupied air came in. and seeing friend, sat down opposite him.
 What are you eating?' asked the newcomer.
 Kidney saute,' was the reply And It's very good.
 That's Just the thing for a raw dayS said the second arrival.
 'whatn you hace, sir?' asked tho waiter.
 Roast beef replied the man.
 "Ie had the beef habit" added the manager. "He orders 1t every day me chemically and even the suggestion of an appetizing dish couldn't break the bonds of habit"

Those sleeping mats. which have insides to- them, are indeed a splendid inven- tionr'
 The sultan constantly expressed the pride he felt at being so much greater than any of the seven-and-twenty prede- cessors of his family who have ruled over his country--they, he said, were frogs beneath an inverted eocoanut she'll" The colonial review made deep impression upon his highness. He sald to MT. Cliff ford:
 !" These be but samples of the king 8 soldiers in distant lands. 1 saw our own people-a mere dozen or so-yet l know for how many that dozen stands. Mine is but Q tiny country, while others that have sent men here today are vast. What a tremendous host do those who we have seen this morning represent Never since Allah first made the world hath there been so mighty a gatheringl And this host is the host of the kingi It is a splendid thing to think that one belongs to such an empire-that one is part of itl None of my forbears, slowed away in their forests enjoyed the greatness that is mine, in that I am myself a portion of something so very greatr That speech came from his heart, was no mere Orien- tai hyperbole, for he spoke to me as friend to Trend, ana was not sparlng or his criticisms when occasion arose. When his nephew related to him the plot of MT. Stephen Phillips 'Paola and Fran cesca,' a performance of which he had witnessed, the sultan shook his head. That Is an evil tale of a very degrad- ing character, he said. It Is not fitting that such a story should be told, far less acted. more especially in the presence of ladies!' And when he was informed that the incident was historically accurate, that only served to increase the grav- ity of his disapproval. That such a thing should have happened Is very shameful' he said, and surely 1t were better to suf- fer it to be forgotten. Why revive these
