Admiral Togo.

The visit TO America of the abb
lest sea strategist of his age has
been an event calling for proper
recognition. President Taft has
paid unusual honor TO Admiral
Count Togo, and at the close of
the State dinner AT the White
House. turned the personal eele-
bration into an effort toward wi
der arbitral justice. Unusu-
al honors were also paid TO
Count Togo by the Senate
and House of Representatives,
Which admitting him to the
81 paid TO Count Togo by the
Senate and House of Representa-
tiveS, which, admitting him to the
floor. adjourned SO that the mem
hers might meet him. As he en-
tered the chambers he was greet
ed with much hand clapping and
with shouts of Banzai.h Two
features of his soiourn have ev-
identity interested the Admiral.
With a Characteristic Eastern rev.
erenee for those who have depart
ed this life, Count Togo visited
four graves and prayed aloud
there. The first was to the grave
of George Washington; the see
ond, to that of Paul Jones: the
third, to that of the lamated Adj
miral Sperry, whom Count Togo
met in Japan when Sperry COM
manded the American battle fleet
the fourth, to the grave of Kin
jiro Matsukata, the young Japa-
nese in the United States Naval
Academy who, just a year ago,
at the age of twenty, was cruelty
cut down by typhoid fever. The
other features of special interest
was Count Togo's inspection of
Government ship building and
armament-making; as to the lat
ter, he did not fail to note our
new fourteen inch guns, the most
powerful rifles in the world.
Everywhere the japanese Admir-
al has been received, by officials,
and by the people, with pa
tent sincerity of welcome; for he
has shown himself on close inspec
ton to posses a rare quality
among heroes-that of remaining
great after the events which have
won them fame.

A FEAST IN TURKEY.
Meals and Sweets AltsrnstsS In Sick
enina Succession.

Mrs. ". NJ. Ramsay, in Every
dsy Lie In Turkey" gives the FOL
lowing account Of a feast in which
she once participated;
"Pllows were placed about the
table, on which we sat Turkish fash
ion. \ large metal tray heapel
with bread which resembled scenes
was placed on the center Of the
table. The first course consisted Of
pishmish, a lHkcwarm compound Of
rice, onions. sour milk, cheese and
fat, eaten with black wooden spoons
set with eolored beads. One small
spoonful suiliced for me.
THE second course was a calf
whole. head and horns. boiled and
smothcred in a mass Of garlic. II
was eaten with the fingers. and il
was very good. | did not know
what was to follow, and on the prin-
ciple of making hay while the sun
shines made a meal with a reckless
ness born OF ignorance.
"Next 4 huge cream tart was set
before us. | viii not attempt TO de-
scribe the exquisite lghtness of the
faky pastry or the delicate flavor
of the rich cream. A dream of nv
childhood was realized. Smilinglv
awaited the signal to rise from
the table. Alas, pride goes before
a fall. The dish was removed only
to make room for a mixture of
mincemeat and rice wrapped in
young vine leayes-a delicious dish
when one is hungry, but | was not
hungry. This was succeeded by a
great bowl Of cherries cooked in
honey. | abandoned hope and, sad
ly grasping the tiny spoon, pretend
ed to enjoy the sweet. Memories
haunted me Of other occasions when
the refusal OF some dellcacy by my
husband or myself had caused a
dish TO be removed untasted, hosts
being too polite to eat Of a favorite
dish declined by guests.
"The cherries were followed BY
kid roasted whole and stuffed with
pistachio nuts; then another dish
Of sweets, then fowls, vegetables,
meats and fruits-always a dish Of
meats and one Of sweets alternating
in hidcous succession until ! lost
count. 4 kind of nightmare OPP
pressed me. | ceased even to hope
for the end. suddenly | woke TO
the fact that plat was on the table.
A thrill Of JOY ran through me, for
pilaf is always the last dish of
Turkish dinner"

Rohinson Crusoe.

Robinson Crusoe" was inspired,
it is said, by the true story of Alex
ander Selkirk. Selkirk, native Of
Scotland, was left ashore on the
island of Juan Fernandez by his
captain in 1;04 and lived there
alone until he was discovered BY
Captain Rogers in 1909. Selkirk
composed a narrative of his solitary
experiences on the island, and it
was from his story that Daniel De-
foe got the idea Of his immortal
book. Selkirk died in 1928, a lieu
tenant in the British navy, and a
monument to his memory was
erected on the island OF Juan Fer
nandez in 1868.
