Tho private kitchen of tho Rultan of Turkey is a veritable fortresg, consisting of a sniiill chamber sit- uated to the right of the great en- trance, and is guardwl by barred v/indows and nn armor-plated door. Tho cook olllcintes under the ever- watchful eye of the kelardjhi bacht, ono of the most weighty functionar- ies in Yildiz I'alaco at Constantino- ple, for the health, the very life, even of the ruler is at his mercy. When cooked, each dish is fastened with red wax, bearing the ofiicial seal of the kelardjhi, and remains hermetically closed until tho seals aro broken in the Sultan's own pre- sence. His Majesty's life is passed in a long series of elaborate pre- cautions. However, in spite of the care he takes of his health, Abdul Ilamid, after a rirign of twonty-fivo years, looks prematurely old and broken. Tlis weakness is extreme and his body so thin that it is little more than a skeleton. RUSSIANS ASSASSINATIONS. A Formidable List During the Last Few Years.

A LEADING BANK'S SUCCESS- FUL YEAR. In another part of this paper will be found the report of tho directors of t he Sovereign Hank of Canada, which was adopted at tho third an- nual meeting of the shareholders, heUI in Toronto on the l.'Uh of this month. Tho most important an- nouncement contained in this report was that pertaining to the divid.'ud, which has been raised from 5 jor cent., as a result of a very suc.;ess- ful year's work. In tho course of an nteresting a<Idress, it was p'-iiitoil out by tho (jonoral Manng>'r, Mr. P. M. Stewart, that the total assets showed an incrca.se for the yea" of $3,0<).'j,00(i, which brings tho total ligure up to $11,070,000. Over forty per cent, of these assets arc immed- iately available, while over a million dollars of tho amount is in actual cash and clearing hou.se exchanges. An especially valuable feature of the busine.ss of tho Sovereign Hank is the largo number of its depositors, in contradistinction to those bank- ing institutions which are so largely dependent upon n few largo deposi- tors. This is evidenced by tho fact that the average deposit amounts to only $811 per capita. Kqually satisfactory is the excep- tionally largo distribution of loans, tho bank having no less than f5,1H.'> borrowing customersâ€" representing nn average loan of $1,440 per head. This avoiilanco of the tendency lo dei)ond upon a few large accounts ro- diiroH the possibility of loss to a miniiiin. Tho shareholders expres.sod them- selves as greatly pleased with the result of the year's business, and, indeed, they may well congratulate themselves upon the really wonderful projj^ress that has been ma<le by the Hovoreign Hank uiwler Mr. Stewart's careful management of its alTairs.

Tho best and most valuable bulls for the arena aro raised on the vast estates of the Duke of Vcragua, in Andalusia who has made a fortune out of this business. A USKFUL MEMUEn. The small son of a clergyman who was noted for his tiresome sermons overheard t'\<) friends of his father sa.ying how dry they were- and how hard it was to keep awake during them. The following Hiiiulny, while tho iiiiniNter was preaching, ho was astounded to boo his son throwing pebbles at tho congregation. Tho cleg:,'man frowned angi'lly at him, when tho boy piped out in a dear treble voice: "It's all right, pop. You go on preaching; I'll keep them awake." UNPEAUABLE. An English tourist, while resting at a wayside inn on a summer day in Galway, saw an Irishman driving a horse so thin that it staggered as it walked. "Why don't, you put more flesh on that nag?" the tourist exclaimed In- dignantly. "More, Is It?"' tho Irishman an- swered.

HRIAR PIPES. The so-called briar pipe is not made of briar at all, but from the root of a particular kind of heather, called in Wench bruycre, which grows on the hillsides of the Tuscan Alps in North Italy and on the mountains of Corsica.
