His Household Costs Thirty Million Dollars Annually. The personal expenses of Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey, are larger than those of any other monarch in Europe. He spends annually no less a sum than $30,000,000. Of this $7. 500,000 alone is spent on the clothing of the women of his harem and $400, 000 on the sultan's own wardrobe. Is early another $7,500,000 is swal­ lowed up by presents, $5,000,000 goes for pocket money and still another $o,000,000 for the table. It seems in­ credible that so much money can pos­ sibly be spent in a year by one man, but when it is ^remembered that some 1,500 persons reside within the palace walls and live luxuriously and dress expensively at the cost of the civil list it appears a little more comprehensi­ ble. , Lfnt of the Visit of the Onsen sfj dhoba te King Solomon. "Here is the legend of the visit of! the Quean of Sheba ao King Hals i tnon," said the Paseagoula Diogenes; in the Rotunda of the Great Southern; hotel, Gulport, Sunday. "The queen reigned over a people that lived on: the border of the Red Sea, who were! the richest in Arabia. They were rep­ resented leading an idle life, owing to1 the abundance of natural produce o£ their country, which afforded the sus­ tenance of life and also frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and balsam that gave them an extensive commerce with other nations. "The queen, owing to the splendid reputation af King Solomon, whose power and wisdom had spread to the remotest parts of the world, visited him at his own court Presenting her­ self at the foot of his throne, in each of her hands she held a, wreath of flowers--one composed of natural, the other of artificial. Art, in the labor of the mimic wreath, had ex­ quisitely emulated the lively hues of nature; so that at the distance it was held by the queen to exercise the sat gaclty of the monarch for his judg­ ment, it was deemed Impossible for him to decide which wreath was the production of Bature, and which the work of art. Solomon was, for a mo­ ment, perplexed; yet, to be vanquish­ ed by a woman irritated his pride. "An expedient presented itself to the king by a swarm of bees on the outside of a window, which he order­ ed opened; the bees rushed in the court and alighted on one of the wreaths, while not a single one fixed on the other. Sheba was baffled and was convinced of the wisdom of Solo­ mon. Such Is the story handeS down that the bee only rests on the natural beauties, and never fixes on the paint­ ed flowers, however inimitable the color may be laid on."--New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Innocent Maid the Victim of Perfidi­ ous Society Man. ' "My dear Julia, I'm so glad to see you, for I've just had such a shock. I want to tell you about it. You know George Billings--such a nice fellow, apparently. Well, my dear, would you believe it, he's the most underhanded, deceitful fellow in the world. You know I've been having quite a desper­ ate flirtation with him for some time-- dances, tete-a-tetes, hand squeezing, and all that sort of thing. Of course, I'm engaged to Tom, and I wouldn't be false to him for the world, but then there's no harm in a little flirtation now and then. Well, this affair with George got to be very desperate and I was afraid Tom might hear of it, so I thought I'd give George a little warn­ ing. Last night I met him at the Tompkyns, and managed to hint some­ thing about my engagement. He juit laughed and said: "'Oh, yes; I know all about it.' "What do you think of that, my dear? Isn't that deceitful and under­ handed to flirt with a girl whom he knows is engaged? But that isn't the worst. He told me that he was going to be married next month. Wasn't that perfectly scandalous? Why, it was perfectly outrageous. Just think of his acting in that way when he was engaged. His depravity is really shocking."--Brooklyn Eagle. ;; Hon. Alonzo S.
