During the busy days OF congress last
winter friendly press agents circulated
stories among the dear, people" insinuat-
ing that members OF the upper and lower
houses were working overtime and, there
fore, entitled to an increase OF salary.
Il was intimated that $4,000 was an In
significant sum for the service rendered.
Members were unable TO make both ends
meet. Living was high, and high living
costs money To lend an atmosphere Of
pathos to the tales offered. the impress
sion was delicately conveyed that pa
triotic members went down into their
own leans for the wherewith TO balance
outgo with congressional income, Strange
20 say, public sentiment did not warm
up to the suggestion of Increased Salaries
and members concluded TO worry along
somehow on the 'beggaily stipend" OF
$1,000 per.

been pictured There are some compensa-

INGENIOUS sQUANDER1NG.

The Costly Caprices of Certain Persons
 With Too Much Money
 When the people have more money than they know what to- do with they sometimes develop a remarkable inge- nuity in devising methods of squander- ing it, as in the case of the French marquise, who, according to the paper, has her bed strewn with rare and ex- quisite orchids, at a cost of several thousand dollars a week.
 Even more remarkable is the story told of a wealthy Frenchman who dimes twice week at a famous Pari- sian restaurant His appetite is of the poorest, but he always insists on hav- ing a tureen filled with a specially pre- pared soup placed before him. Next comes a huge joint of meat, from which he cuts one tiny slice Then fol- lows four quail or a large chicken, of which he eats one mouthful His des- sert consists of four grapes and a cup of coffee while during the meal. he just moistens his lips from a bottle of ex- pensive claret and another of the finest champagne, At the conclusion of each meal, for which he pays twenty five dollars, he hands eight dollars to the head waiter, four dollars to the waiter who attended him, two dollars to the woman cashier and one dollar to the porter.
 A weird form of extravaganza was that of a woman named Hitler, who recently buried her husband in a twen- ty thousand dollar coffin. The coffin was made of richly carved mahogany with solid gold trimmings Ca single knob costing $1, 75O) and lined with silk which is said to have cost seventy-f1ve cents an inch.

NATURALIZATION OF THE SULTAN.
 The Sultan of Turkey, who never leaves Yildlz Kiosk except to go to prayers on Friday at noon, proposed to send various high dignitaries to receive the Kaiser as he stepped on the shore of the Bosphorus at the official landing place (on his visit to Constantinople.)
 The kaiser required that the sultan must receive him in person, and the Sultan had to yield for he keenly de- sired the glory in Mohammedan eyes of having a European sovereign come to pay his resepcts to the Commander of the Faithful,
 The Sultan was waiting, then, to re- ceive the Emperor as he stepped from his boat and two carriages were in readiness, one to convey the two sover- eigns and one for the Empress The Kaiser overturned the arrangements by putting the Empress into the first car riage with the Sultan while he himself occupied the second. So the Sultan en- dured the indescribable of driving through the streets of his own capital before the eyes of his Mohammedan subjects, sitting side by side with a GIaour woman. Nothing could be more humiliating to the Sultan than that situation and the most effective counterblast to his Pan Islamic pro- paganda would be to circulate through all islam the description of that drive if any Mohammedan could be induced to believe it.-Contemporary Review.
