HIS HOURS, HABITS, AND INTIMATES AFTER-DINNER TALKS FONDNESS FOE MUSIC. Tho Pall Mall Gazette says: The Sul tan leads a quiet and orderly life; is systematic in his habits, and takes care of his health. He retires early, gener ally before eleven o'clock; and by six in the morning he is in his library or cabi net de iravil (a fact of which I myself am a frequent witness) , where he spends the greater part of the day. Here he receives the papers sent to him from the Porte; all of these he reads carefully his uncle never did and never signs one until ho thoroughly understands its purport. Among the people he likes to see are George Zariff, the banker, and Hobart Pasha. With the former, a shrewd old man of seventy, well versed in matters of public interest, he talks by the hour as to what may be done to im prove the state of the country. With tho admiral his relations are moro con fidential ; he makes him the channel of his unofficial intercourse with our em bassy. In the evening the Sultan frequently asks one or more of the ministers to dine at the palace, and after they have dined, engages them in conversation on public affairs, which are often protract ed to a late hour. The day before yes terday Safvet Pasha mentioned to me casually in conversation that on the previous Sunday evening the Sultan had thus detained him in a tete-a-tete colloquy which lasted for three hours, llecently.too, Ed hem, Djevdet, and Iled if Pashas passed the whole evening with the Sultan, discussing public affairs. Again, Ali Pash, lately recalled irom his miserable governorship of Mostarto be Vali of Adrianople the Ali who pre ceded Sadyk as ambassador at Paris had a long interview with the Sultan before going to his new post. In this interview the 6ultan cross-questioned him very closely regarding the causes of provincial maladministration. Ali Pasha explained to him the vice of the whole system, tho Sultan listening with marked attention. In taking leave of Ali, tho Sultan requested him to come to Constantinople once a month in or der to confer with him on provincial af airs. Another person who has lately seen the Sultan, is Thotiades Bey, the Ottoman minister at Athens, who says that the Sultan asked him a number of very sensible questions about Greek politics, and tho social and industrial condition of Greese as compared with that of Turkey. All these men, who have lately seen tho Sultan, bear witness to the soundness of his bodily health and of his mental powers. No one says he is a great genius, but all agree that he is modest, intelligent, eager for in formation, and greatly interested in the affairs of the empire. As regards amusements, I learn that he inherits his father's fondness for music, and that ho has a "turn" for me chanics. Taul Dussap wa3 the music master of his boyhood, and he it is who conducts the Suitan's musical evenings. I asked J), how these evenings were passed (unless tho Sultan is very busy there is always music), and he replied: "The Sultan likes the piano with string ed quatuor; after playing a few pieces thus arranged, he generally asks me to sing, -and then he talks of music. He likes the quaint wildness which belongs to Turkish music and to its more civi lized Hungarian brother. At his re quest I composed a march for him, in which he particularly wished to have the rythm of the 'Marseillaise' com bined with the characteristic modula tions of Turkish and Hungarian music. He told mo to keep it as much like his father's own march as I could." Dus sap played the-march to me, adding that the Sultan had mado several little ehanges before authorizing him to have it scored for the full orchestra. These little matters, wholly unimportant in themselves, help to throw light upon this question, and give tin insight into the Sultan's mode of life. lie ii Who Live L0113;. . Huf eland, public lecturer at Jena, who published a work on longevity in the last century, thus describes the sort of man who has the best prospect of long life: He has a well proportioned stature, without, however, being too tall. He is rather of the middle size, and somewhat thickset. His complex ion is not too florid at any rate, too much ruddiness in youth i3 seldom a sign of longevity. Hair approaches rather to the fair than to the black; his skin is strong, but not rough. His head is not too big. He has large veins at the extremities, and his shoulders are rather round than flat; his neck is not too long, his belly does not project, and hi3 hands aro large but not too deeply cleft. His foot is rather thick than long, and his legs are firm and round. He has a broad chest and strong voice, and the faculty of retaining his breath for a long time without difficulty. In general there is complete harmony m all his parts. His senses are good, but not too delicate; his pulse is slow and regular. His appetite is good, and his digestion easy. He has not too much thirst, which is always a sign of rapid self-consumption. His passions never become too violent or destructive. If he gives way to anger, he experiences a glow of warmth without an overflowing of the gall. He likes employment, particularly calm meditation and agree able speculation; is an optimist, a friend to nature and domestic felicity; has no thirst after either honors or riches, and banishes all thought of to-morrow. Tnii Blue Glass Fraud: But really, what do you think of Pleasonton and the blue glass cure? is now the obtru sive question. Well, we think that the man is a pestilent ignoramus, and his book the ghastilest rubbish that has been printed in a hundred years. He may be entirely honest, but this is no reason why we should give attention to his egregious folly. Pleasonton, how over, it must be confessed, serves one important function: he gauges for us the depth and density of American stupid ity. De Morgan says, somewhere, that certain men appear occasionally to play the part of 'foolmeters" in the" commu nity, that is, to measure the number and quality of the fools furnished by any given state of society. Pleasonton' has done this for us with an accuracy that leaves nothing to be desire J. W idar Science Monthly.

Criminals should come to a halt be fore arriving at the halter. The Russian Empire. ITS EXTENT, POPULATION AND ARMY. It is calculated that the empire of the Czar extends over one-seventh of the land surface of the globe and represents about one twenty-sixth of it3 entire su perficial area. It is difficult to arrive at the true area of Bussia, on account of the obstacles that present themselves to the making of a general survey of such an immense extent of country. The nearest estimate, because it was deemed the most accurate, was made in 1874, whereby the area of the empire was set down at 8,401,707 square miles. It is divided into two sections, the European and Asiatic, the former having an area of about SG,03!) square miles, and a pop ulation of G3,05SJ34. This does not include either the kingdom of Poland, the grand duchy of Finland or the Caucasian provinces. The population of Russian Poland is 5,705.007 and its area 2,216 square miles. Finland has 1,843,245 inhabitants and an area of 6,835 square miles, and the Caucasus 4,661,824 inhabitants andis 7,938 square miles in area. Bussia in Asia has an es timated population of C,302,412, but these inhabitants belong chiefly to the Nomadic tribes, The population of Bussia is divided into three great groups, besides a varie ty of national elements intermixed in tho general mass of the inhabitants. The Great llussians, or Veliko lluss, number 35,000,000 and occupy the provinces. Tho Little llussians, or Malo Rhus, number about 11,000,000, and from the bulk of the population in Pnltava, Kharkof , Chernigof , Kief, Yol hynia. -Podolsk, Ekaterinoslaf and tho Laurida. The white llussians, about 3,000,000 in number, are found in Mont lef, Minsk; Vitebsk and Grodno. With these groups are tho Finns, 3,038,000; Lithuanians, 2,343,000; Jews, 1,631,000; Tartars, 2,500,000; Slavonians in Poland and Lithuania, about 7,000,000, and Armenians, 2,000,000. From the above described population is drawn the regular army of the Rus sian empire. The armed force of Bus sia is composed of an active and a terri torial army. The first is divided into tho land and marine forces. Tho land force comprises the regular troops an nually recruited throughout the coun try; the regulars intended to complete tho strength of the army to a war foot ing and composed of men on leave; the irregular troops, such as the Cossacks and the troop3 composed of foreign elements. Tho territorial army is formed by all the male inhabitants of the empire, be tween the ages of twenty and forty, who are lit for military service and not al ready enrolled in the active or regular army. By a law of January 13, 1874, the military service is rendered obliga tory on all Bussian subjects, except in some of the most isolated districts of Siberia, Turkestan and tho transcaucas ian territory. Exceptions are, however, made in favor of certain professions, such as clergymen, doctors, etc. Tho duration of service in European Bussia is fixed at lifteen years that is, six years in the active army and nine in tho reserves. In Asiatic Bussia the term of service is limited to ten years, seven of Avhich are spent in the active army and three in the reserves. Utilizing Niagara. A letter has recently been addressed to the Governor-General of Canada by Mr. Horace H. Day, a gentleman who owns the American side of Niagara Falls, on which bide the water exceeds that of the Canadian fall. Mr. Day recommends the utilization of this vast water power by the establishment there of manufactories for spinning and weav ing cotton cloth. When our ship canals, and eventually the Pacific Bail way, are completed, says the Ottawa Free Press, tho subject of cheap pro duction may have a measure of interest to our manufacturers not now even thought of. The chief points of Mr. Day's scheme aro the following; and should his ideas as yet fail to be appre ciated, we may recall to mind George Stejihenson, fighting his railway enter prise through amid the ridicule of Par liament and people, and Mr. Muntz going humbly from one ship owner of London to another, vainly asking per mission to apply, at his own expense, a coat of his metal to the bottoms of their ships: 1. The formation of compressed air, by means of the water power, and its ap pliance to drive the machinery of cotton factories, placed where convenient, the air being conveyed in pipes and applied to the common steam engine. 2. The manufacture, by this means, of cotton cloth, so near to the producing points of the raw cotton and of the food staples, as materially to lessen the cost of production. 3. The loading and unloading of ves sels by means of the same cheap hy draulic power, the only expense of which is, of course, the erection of tho apparatus. 4. The gray cotton cloth being so manufactured, its transportation (when the canals are enlarged) in sea-going vessels, direct from the point of produc tion to England, there to undergo the finishing processes of bleaching and printing, and to be thence distributed to the markets of the world. Giving In. A story is told of two worth' New England "deacons between whom a bitter feud had long existed concerning some contested point. Neither would yield, and the matter threatened to bo handed down to the next generation, when one day Deacon Smith appeared before his old enemy and solemnly said: "Brother Jones, it is a shame-that this quarrel of ours should bring scandal upon the church. I have prayed earnestly for guidance in the matter, and have come to the con clusion that you must give in, for I can not." The Becorder's Watch. Sir John Sylvester, the Becorder of London, was one day robbed of his watch by a thief whom ho tried at the Old Bailey for petty larceny. During the trial, Sir John happened to say, fcloud, that he forgot to bring his watch with him. The thief being acquitted for want of evidence, went with the Becorder's love to Lady Silvester, and requested that she would immediately send his watch to him by a constable he had ordered to fetch it. The lie succeded, and the thief got the watch. The Milwaukee Sentinel says hotel keepers in Wisconsin who fail to provide fire escapes above the second floor, can not collect board bills from their guests when tho latter demur to paying them. There will be twenty-six executions during the month of May, and even then many of the wicked will escape. Tli lelris of the System Must either pass through its natural channels -of exit, the bowels, tho kidneys and the pores, or, in default thereof, poison and dis order the fluids of the system. In order to ef fect the complete expulsion of this dangerous refuse, the organs through which it passes off must be active and unobstructed. Fortunately there is a certain means of rendering them so when they are not. Hos tetter's Stomach Bit ters stimulate the .action of tho txcretory or gans, and by diffusing a genial warmth through the circulation, encourage moderate perspira tion. By this triple effect the exodus of the foe cal and other waste matters are encouraged, and the system freed from peril it would other wise inciir. The action of the bowels which follows the use of this beniiicent alterative is easy and unaccompanied by griping, and its stimulative effect upon the urinary organs very conducive to their local health. i:i errant 1 holograph Will be taken for you at reasonable rates by calling on Taylor & Co., 415 Montgomery street, San .Francisco.

I then seal tho hole up iigiit wiiii it jj;iiu lump 01 uiri or sou, ocicg careful not to let any dirt drop on to the wheat.
