As owing to the prevailing condi- tion of affairs the captain could not receive him as the Sultan, hu mother had btfgged ttat he might be treated with all the re- gard possible. Tne Prince wore a gold em- broidered uniform set with a qasntity of small gems and pasrls, while tiis hands sparkled with brilliants, Capt.

Among his compan- ions, who spread all over the ship, were two Turks, but I could not diaoover what part they played. The Prince had brought his mother's let- ter, which he delivered to the csptam. Its contents, translated from the native lan- guage, ran thus: "This letter comas from the widow, thy daughter, to her father his Majesty tbe German Emperor, Wilhelm I., dictated by a pore and affeoioaate heart. I acquaint your Majesty with the fact that the German ship Leipsic has visited us.

The second fonotion of the Bank is the management of the national debt, by which it relieves the government of all the olarical details attending the. purchase and transfer of stock and the payment of dividends. No one would be willing to lend money to a government without an engagement for a repayment at a fixed time, nor without some arrangement aaabling the lender to trans- fer his interest in the debt to any one wilt- ing to purchase it, and it ia a condition of every loan made to the British govonuoent thot it shall be transferable, and that the dividends ahall always be paid half yearly at the bank of England. The certainty of the fulfilment of this condition has been one of the elements which have made the government stocks a favorite form of invest- ment. "The national funded debt of the United Kingdom ia now upward of £700,- 000 000, divisible into any number of ao- counts, and any person whose name has once been entered as a holder of stock in the bark books may sell all or any j^ of his stock at almost any time, and without cost transfer It to as many different persons as he chooses to deal with through his bro ker. The broker is necessary to the trans- action that the bank may be sure that tbe transferer is the person he. represents him- self to be, and the only essential qualifica- tion of this agent is membership of Idle Stook Exchange, and a personal introduc- tion to the Bank officials. There are several hnndred thorsand of these aocounts, which, if mord persons desire to invest their mmey in government securities, nught be multi- plied tenfold, the only limit placed upon them being that none of them shall be for less thui one penny. No matter how many separate accounts are opened, the Bank is bound to keep them; and on every account a separate order or "warrant" is made out every half-year for a payment of the divi- dnsd/rom which aSdeduction has to be made for the property tax and paid to the govern ment. The dividends are paid to any one applyuff for them when they are due, and more than half |of them are usually «col- leeted by the atockholers' private bankers, who transmit the amount t) tho'r oustonwrs, or advise them of it by the evfeiitng mail of diyidand day; thus all holders in Great Brit- ain may either receive their dividends or bear that they have been colleotad for them on the same day, and it is unusual for an error of even one penny to be made in this vast operation. U desired tbe dividend warrants are sent by the Bank to tlie stock boidenbypost. For this service the Bank receives from the government about £200,- 000 a year, or £3w for every million rf the national debt below six hundred millions, and £150 for every millicn above sixhundred mQliona.

A bet was made between him and a M Liizay, a s^n- tieman who was rather skeptical in »uoh matters. Tne oonditiens were that M. Loizey should furnish a dozen birds, which were to beat the disposal of the oharoier for fifteen minutes. At the end of that time M Pioard was to open the cage which con- tained them and each bird was to alight up- on a certain arbutus, brouglit upon the ground by him and placed at a diataiM».of lOQ metres from tbe p^t where they were lib- rated. For each bird that did not obey the charm within a qiarter of an hour M. Pioard was to pay M. Le'zsy fifty francs, and for each bird which did M. L}iz y was to pay M. Picard the same sum. When the time of the test arrived so large and so curious a crowd had gathered on the Coamp deMars that it was impossible to maintain the nesdfnl space of 100 metres around the spot where the cegt was placed. Forty metres was all the distance that could be secured. The results, therefore, were not accepted as determining the bet, and another trial will be made. The birds, how ever â€" ^released under these conditions â€" fl'tw, one by one, to the arbutus and perched on its branches, to the greaVaaton^ihment of the spectators. M. PicirdVcharm consists, it Is bekeved, in implregaating these bran- ches with a colorless and mysterious liquid, the secret of which is as yet his own. The Left Side the Better. The left side of the faae is the right,; ttv tistios prove tie p%radox. Artisce aWays put the best touches, finest shading, and most delicate tints on the loft side of the profile. Actors, actresses, and public singers always make a iialf torn to the right, when they wish t) impreu their audieaces. foang ladies desirous of bewitching their gentle- men friends always walk on the right-hand side. Why? Because science has shown that the left aide of the face is more beautiful or less ugly. The l^ft baud is more magnetic than the right the left br^ait has a more graceful contour than the opposite, and the glance ot the left eye has a bewitching power of which the right is bopslessly in- nocent. The theme will bear infinite expan- sion, but we forbear ti pursue it The re- markable part ofthe now well-known fact is that the discoverywas made by the Chinese. In the year 9381 Ah Fing Fy Foy had a family of seventeen daughters. Tney were all left-handed, Imd were greatiy sought in marriacre by members of the royal house- hold. So irresistible were the charms of these moon-eyed maidens that every man who looked u^n them became enslaved. To save the empire from internecine war for their possession, the Emperor made an edict that the daughters of Ah Hing Fy Foy should be allowed to have thirteen husbands each, but that in the future all left-handed girls should be strangled at their birth. A Sad Case. A case which lately came before a French court illustrates how cruelly small are the official salaries in Fraccs, which, it must he remembered, is no longer a cheap countn^, now that it has the largest debt in the world. Mile. B. is the orphan daughter of a Surgeon-Major. A very bright girl, she passed brilli^t exunmations for the posi- tion of a schoolmistress just at the time that she lost her father, when her necessities being urgent (her mother was then alone and totally unprovided for), some friends got her appointed Postmistress at a small town, with a salary of |160 a year, which salary did not begin until two months after she had entered on her duties. Meantime the per son who had boarded her mother clamored for payment of 9120 due, and went so far ds to sell off all her pojr little property, and Mile. B in ill health, had herself been obliged to contract some small debts. Re- duced to the last extremity, she took official money to the extent of $240. ai|d, knowing that the loss of her position was certain if the deficit should be discovered, opene 1 a lettor and took two of the four t^ bilid 4t contained, with whidi she made up tb de- ficiency in her cash account. But tUb " \s soon found out, and ahe wascommitteH r trial. The oonrt s ntenoed her to two y«s ..s imprisonment. Extenuating oinmnurtanbes have often been disoovered by French c jorts in less deserving oases. Beading Aloni.

Dr. Philpots the famous bishop of Exeter, visited Mr. Hawker not long after this incident oraarred, and he, too, mast nosds inspect Robin Hood. Suddenly the clergy- man was starfetei by the bishop's cries ot distress. Looking oat he saw the prelate struggling with the stag. Bobin had taken a fancy to the aUk apron, which English bishops Wear as a badge of office. Gently approaching, he had secured a comer of it in hia month, and,when Hawker hrard the ory, was drawing the silk badse further and farther down his throat.

WhyHenFaU. Few men come up to their highest meas- ure of suocees. Some fail through timidity, or lack of nerve. Th^ are nnwilliog to take the risks incident to life, and fail through fear of ventnriog on ordinary dn ties. They lack pluck. Others fail through imprudence, lack of discretioi, care or sound judgment. Taey overestimate the future, build air castles, and venture beyond their depth, and fail and fall. Others, again, fail through lack of app1ic ation and perseeverance. They begin with good resolves, but soon get tired of that and want a change, thinking they can do much better at something else. Thus they fritter life away, and succeed at nothins;. Q hers waste time and monay, ani fail for want of economy Many fail tlirough ruinous hab- itsâ€" totiacco, whisky, and beer spo 1 them 'for bnsiness, drive their Dest customers from them, sni soatte.' their prospects of success. Some fail for want of brains, education, and fitness fos their calling. They lack a kcow ledge of human nature, and of the motives that actuate men. They have not qualified themselves for t'oeir ocoupatioa by a practic- al education. One Egg for Ten People, One o trich egg for ten guests is the pat- tern at the Ciduomia ostrich farm. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," said D wight Whiting, counting the guests he had invited to spend the day at the ostrich farm with him. "I guess that one egg will be enough." Having given utterance to this expression, he wended his way to the paddock, and oon brought to the house an ostrich ej^. For a whole boor it wai boiled, and though there was then sone misgiving as to its be- ing cooked, the shell was broken, for curi- osity ould no longer be ressrained, and a three-pound hard-boiled egg laid unm the plate. But aside from its size there was no« thing peculiu' about it. The white had a bluish tinge seen in duck eggs, ani tho yolk was of the usual color. It tasted as it looked â€" like a dock egg â€" ?nd had no flavor peculiar to itself. Bat it was im nense As it takes twenty-eight hen eggs to equal in weight the ostrich egg whioh was cooked, it ia evident that the nost knew what he was about in cooking only oae. Taere was enough and to spare and before leaving the ttble the par^ unanimously agreed that ostrich egg was good. Few Bleh Hen In California. The majority of people in this State are not rich.
