Railway rumors of all kinds are
rife here. Among the latest is one
to the effect that the Weyhauser
syndicate, who own the Payette
Lumber company, has a deal on
for the purchase of the T. d L. n.
and also for the Idaho Northern,
and that an electric line through
this valley is to connect both lines.

DAILY LIFE AT YlLnIz PALACE.
Sultan's Favoritc Quarters-Hls Fond
ness for Animals.

From the London Standard.
The Palace of Yildiz stands on the top Of
a hill and is surrounded by a thick wall.
1t is almost a misnomer to call 1t palace,
as "Yildz' comprises a number of very
modest looking whitewashed villas and
kiosks, any one of which is more like a
private residence than the home of a
sovereign. The study in which Abdul
Hamd passes a third of his life Is fur
nished with a simplicity amounting al
most TO poverty and documents Of the dag
only, which are carried off as soon as they
have been attended to. The rule Is that
nothing should remain more than twenty
four hours on that table, and there is no
waste paper basket.
His favorlte room Is his library or libra e
rles. Of which he has four. The first I'M
perial library was founded by Sultan
Ahmed III One of them Is devoted ex-
clusively to works on Turkey and the
Ottoman dominions, in all languages II
contains a strange collection Of manu-
scripts of books which have never been
published that were bought up In order
to prevent their circulation. Another Sec
ton Is composed of works in Turkish,
Arabic and Persian, and these are Kept
In the best order. as the librarians can
read the titles and catalogue them regu-
larly, which they are incapable OF doing
with foreign productions
The Sultan's day begins early. In sum
mer at and winter at he rises, and II
the weather is fine goes Immediately into
the park This Is extensive and laid out
In alleys and little forests, with several
artificial lakes. the largest of which has
an island in the middle. On this big pond
his majesty generally embarks In n caique,
or boat, which he rows himself or ir
either a small steam or electric launch.
and repairs TO the island to visit his pets.
These are Of all sorts--stags, roedeer, ga
zsIlcs, rare goats and sheep and birds OF
every land. They are all tame, and are
said to be very fond Of their royal mas
ter.
At 10 O'Clock the Sultan returns 10 his
room and takes a frugal breakfast He is
served by the head butler, Osman EGendi,
who tastes each dish before handing 1t
to his MASTER and nobody else Is pres
ent, unless II be. rarely, some of the chill
dren. After breakfast an hour or so is
spent IN the library, where the illustrated
books are most used. Altogether there
are some 10000 volumes At / O'Clock
punctually his majesty retires to his bed
room for a siesta. while one of the
eunuchs or a picked man OF the Albanian
Guard stands outside the door.
This is really the best rest he gets as ne
often works late into the night and then
goes tired to bed The slesta lasts an hour
and a half. when he is softly walked. and
at half past 2 repairs to the study for
the labors of state. Here he works unin-
terruptedly often till past midnight with
the exception of the time taken for
hasty refreshment about sunset All doc
uments brought to him are first thrown
into a disinfecting box, and then given
to him by the first secretary. Tahsen Bey.
On Fridays this programme Is inter-
rupted by the 5elamlik, and often by audi

Tastes In Cigars.
From Science.

FROM Science.
The public taste for cigars varies In
different localities and countries, and in
all the large factories cigars are cond-
toned to suit the demands of the coun-
| ry to which they are to be sent. In
Europe, more especially in the British
Ifles. the consumer of cigars requires that
they should be dry. In fact almost brit
tl5 It is a common incident in that
country TO see a smoker take his cigar
and place it to his ear to see II 1t will
give forth a cracking sound, and If it
does not crackle the cigar Is considered
too moist. Pipe smoking tobaccos how
ever. are required very moist.
In the United States the proper con-
dillon for cigars and pipe smoking tobac-
cos IS just the reverse. The American
smoker requires his cigars In such a
condition that the wrapper. binder and
filler Will yield to the pressure OF the
fingers without cracking or breaking the
wrapper; while on the other hand the
smoking tobaccos, especially the granu-
lated tobaccos must be moderately dry.
Various methods are employed for keep
ing cigars and tobaccos in the proper con-
dltion, bat up to the present time no
method has been devised that will act
automatically Both manufactured tobac-
co and cigars are susceptible to climatic
conditions. and 1t requires the constant
attention of the manufacturer and dealer
to regulate the moisture in his stock cup
board or showcase. In retail stores great
trouble is experienced in keeping the air
In the showcases in the proper eondi-
ton especially when these are constant
ly being opened. In warm wet weather
more moisture is admitted than is need

the cigars are apt to become too dry. es-

LADY BELLE WON HERSELF.
Took Charge When Her Jockey Tried
to Pull Her.

From the New York Sun.
Several years ago. said the old pool
room operator, 'in the erratlc course of
human events 1 was thrown in with the
management Of poolroom, which. though
nothing had been proved against 1t. didn't
have the name of being exactly straight.
"One day, just after getting the track
olGs on one of the secondary tracks,
vas astonished that the owner of the
room seemed to be placing his Judgment
against the conclusions Of the majority of
the racing fraternity and was willing to
back his deductions with his cash. Not
withstanding that the figures from the
track had Lady Belle the odds on favorite
at to g. our boss was giving as good
as 2 to 1 on the horse. There was rush
to get the wise money down at the juicy
figures put up by our room.
IT couldn't for the life of me tell what
the game was. The jockey who had the
mount on Lady Belle was supposed to be
one of the best in the business, and the
track was dry and much to her liking.
AT the post being announced for the
third race on the telegraph sounder in
my berth, I began to receive the descrip-
ton of the race. Lady Belle got off to
good start and was having no trouble
with her field down to the half mile, the
race distance being a mile and a 'steenth.
Then the mare seemed to lack little
steam, as Standing Water and Hoity
Toity appeared to be closing up on her.
Then the boy on Lady Belle let her out
a couple of notches and was evidently
plotting her in a sure winner
LAS the ponies neared the three-quarters
Standing Water and Hoity Toity again
began to make difficulty for the mare.
Entering the stretch they both passed the
odds on favorite, and as things COM
menced to shape out the good thing was
going to the bad in the field From
the way 1t looked the jockey had let the
mare go too hard at the start, and in the
finish she wasn't there with the steam.
Coming close to the wire Lady Belle
got her legs again, and it was anybody's
race to the end. 'Winnerp I shouted.

A Lazy Poet.

From the London Chronicle.
Laziness does not always confer the
long life claimed for 1t by Dr. Herbert
Snow. OF proverbial laziness was Thorn
son, the poet browsing away the greater
part of his life in his garden at Rich
mond, listening to nghtingales, writing
the interminable poems that everybody
now admires and nobody reads. There he
could often be seen standing eating tho
peaches off the trees, with his hands in
his pockets" Such an instance of ndo-
lence would be hard to beat and should,
one would think, have added at least ten
years to his life. But Thomson died at 49,
