has ever made guitar there except,

Guitars and mandollns are almost
exclusively imported from the Tinted

and Spain. Germany is supposed to
be the home of the violin and nearly
all of these instruments used In this

Abdul Hamid,s Hunor.

Popular conception Of Abdul Hamio,
Sultan Of Turkey, does not accredtt
him with a sense OF humor, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch, yet we are assured
on high authority that the Sultan not
only enjoys a joke, but is capable Of
perpetrating one.
On one occasion the Grand Vfzier
gave an elaborate dinner, following
which dervish magician gave an exhi-
bition. In describing the maglcian's
feats to the Sultan the next day ons
of the court officials exclaimed:
would you believe 1t, sir, that poor
dervish swallowed silver spoons one
after the other. 1t was simply mar
ve1ous."
"Marvelous?" inquired the Sultan. II
do not see anything SO marvellous In
the fact that poor dervish swallowed
a few Of the Grand Vizier's silver
spoons. Hassan Pasha, my Minister OF
the Navy, used to swallow entire iron
clads without SO much as changing the
color of his face"

him not to talk such rot John Pringle
refused the whisky and soda and went
