sULTAN'S COSTLY DINNERS
Five Thousand Dollars Every Day
In the Year for the
Royal Food

The sultan Of Turkeys dinner costs
him 5000 a day.
The table is of silver, and 1t is said
to the most exquisite specimen Of the
silversmith's art that the world con-
tains.
The dishes are brought In upon the
heads of jublakiars. or cooks assist
ants, and each dish il covered and
sealed with the royal seal. There are
always so or more dishes, and all are
set before the sultan at the same time.
He eats usually from about six.
Though the sultan Is himself q total
abstainer. the finest vintage wines are
always offered to such guests as dine
At the palace.
Every dish the ruler partakes Of 10
first tasted in the kitchen by the grand
Vizier, lest 1t be poisoned and It IL
Immediately thereafter that its sealing
takes place. Always, before he can
fall to on q dish, the sultan must break
its seal.
II Is not because he eats 5000 worth
Of food himself that the sultan's dinner
bill is 20 expensive. He eats, as q
matter Of fact, no more than half Q
dollars worth. But the guests and re-
tanners who dine at his expense num-
Der daily several thousand.

JAPANESE FISHER SHRINE.
Erected to q "Girl-Fish" and the
Worshiping Place Of
Fishermen.

Most Shinto shrines in Japan have q
story. Here is one which Is told Of the
leading shrine Of Choshi: A traveller
was entertained IN the home Of a rich
man A daughter Of the host fell in
love with the traveller, who did not care
for her because she was ugly. Being
under obligation to the family he could
not ignore the girls love, so he told
her that he meant to drown himself
the next day. She decided to do the
same and did 1t. The traveller gave up
the idea-if he ever had it.
One Of the gods changed the girl into
. fish and to this day the fishermen Of
the town often see that particular fish
In the waters near their shores. Some
times she is caught in the nets, but she
Is always reverently returned to the
sea A shrine was erected on the hill
above the town and dedicated to the
memory Of the girl-fish.
Before starting out to sea the fish
ermen go to this shrine to pray for
good luck and in their absence their
families continue to invoke the favor
Of the god. A storm at sea or absence
Of good luck means that the fish-god
had been offended and must be ap-
peased by special offerings.

SEA GULL OCEAN CARRIERS
Have Much More Endurance Than
Pigeons Over Vast Expanse
Of Water.

Experiments are being made at Tou-
lon In utilizing seagulls as ocean car
riers instead Of pigeons, which are
soon tired when flying over a vast ex-
panse Of water. The gulls are called
by the French "goelands," from the
Celtic ''givelan,' and also "mouettes."
Two gulls from Levant, or Titan
island, the easternmost Of the Hyeres
group, were recently trained by their
cwner, NJ. Demarque. They were dis
patched from Tamaris, near Toulon, to
Levant island, about q miles away,
with messages. One was killed en-
route by a foolish customs Official, the
other was brought to Tamaris by q
fisherman, who found 1t on the rocks
with one of its thighs broken. Not
withstanding these unlucky circum-
stances, NJ. Demarque proposes to re-
new the experiments with new birds,
which he will obtain, as he did the
others, from the maritime biological
laboratory al Tamaris. which belongs
to the Lyons university school. The
director OF this laboratory, NJ. Morier,
fully believes with Prof. Dubois, an au-
thority on ornithology. that gulls can
eventually be used as transocean mes
Eengers. Pigeons, he says, are all right
on land, and can do as much as 400
kilometers, or 24S miles, easily. At
sea, however, they are soon tired, and
IL stormy weather cannot be sent on
The gulls, on the other hand, are
available for use in any weather. The
seabirds are described by NJ. Morier as
easily trained, and their intelligence
Is considerable.

garding the publication Of cabinet

So primarily the letter was intended
to protect the press associations. 1t is

with Just q tinge Of resentment, on
the part of the cabinet officers. They
do not object to being cautioned by
their chief to refrain from divulging

The truth is that very few Of the
