Sultan's Wonderful Jewels.
A correspondent, writing from Con-
stantinople to a Paris journal, claims,
as the result of personal inspection,
to give details of the amazing collec-
tion of jewels in the Sultan's treas-
ury. The turbans of all the Sultan?
since Mahomet II are there, all glit-
tering with rare and large gems of
the purest water. There are also the
royal throne of Persia, carried off by
the Turks in 1514, and covered with
more than 20,000 rubles, emeralds and
fine pearls, and also the throne of
Suleiman I, from the dome of which
there hangs over the head of the Caliph
an emerald six inches long and four
deep. These two thrones are the
chief objects in the collection.

Origin of "Toasting."
"Toasting" appears to have origin-
ated at Bath, England. It was the
habit 200 years ago for ladies to bathe
In public, dressed in buckram,
in the company of their male friends
and acquaintances. One day a cele-
brated beauty was so bathing, sur-
rounded by her admirers, who were
dipping their glasses in tbe water and
drinking her health. One of these, be-
ing rather the worse for drink, swore
he did not like the liquor, but would
get the "toast," and could haruly be
restrained from Jumping lnt» the wa-
ter. He alluded to the practice of the
day, of adding a piece of toast to tha
Epeclal wine or other beverage.
U«efu? Automatic Teapot.
Englishmen who are wedded to
their cup of tea are rejoicing in the
invention of an automatic teapot. An
alarm clock is connected wltli a spirit
lamp and a kettle. When the aiarm
goes off it releases a shutter which
covers the spirit lamp, and as It fli*s
back the shutter strikes a match—
duly placed for the purpose—which
lights the lamp, and thus heats the
water In the kettle. As soon as this
water bolls an arrangement of wires
causes the kettle to tilt and pour ita
contents into the pot set ready to re-
ceive It, the same action ringing a lit-
tle gong to announce the pouring out
"f the wate'lferjfl also automatically

Paid With Life for Sport,
Arthur C. Woodhouse, a member of
the Indian civil service, met his death
while tiger hunting near Hajahmun-
dry, southern India, recently. He shot
at and badly wounded a fire tiger one
night, which made off into the Jungle.
Next morning Mr. Woodhouse fol-
lowed the trail. He came across the
tiger, apparently in a dying condition,
and fired at him with a gun loaded
with buckshot, but the charge and
snock, instead of killing the animal
outright, revived him. Rushing at his
foe, the beast bit him twice near the
left arm. The wounded man was car-
ried by natives flfty-elx miles on a lit-
ter to the nearest doctor and died in
a few hours sfter his arrival.
War Time Censorship.
TUe late Archibald Forbes once
Bald of censorship in war times.
Were I a general and had I an inde-
pendent command offered me, I would
accept It only, on condition that 1
snould have the charter to shoot
every war correspondent found with-
in fifty miles of my headquarters. The
most careful correspondent cannot
write a sentence which the strictest
censor, if he Is to pass anything at
all. cannot refrain from sanctioning,
that may not give a hint to the aftuta
intelligence officials of the other
tide."
