SULTAN IS FOND OF READING
Turkey Utittr for Warts at a Tim
Although the sultan of Turkey ii
reputed to be the lailest potentate In
Europe, he Is passionately food of
reading. For "weeks at a time he will
shut himself In his private mite, sur
rounded by literature of all kinds
classical works, novels, magazines and
newspapers. With the exception of
his personal attendants and ministers
of state, no one Is allowed In the im
perial sanctuary .during the sultan's
literary "flta."
But the sultan la at something of a
disadvantage, soys a British weekly,
because his knowledge of European
languages la limited,
In order to overcome the difficulty
he employs a translation office. Here
there are officials who speak all the
languages of Europe and the East
They read all the political and illus
trated newspapers of Importance, and
translate extracts from them for the
sultan. There are IB superior trans
lators, called dragoman secretaries. In
that office, and their pay Is from ten
to forty Turkish pounds monthly.
They do not limit their translations
to political publications; they trans
late novels and romances In all lan
guages for' the Sultan, and many
thousand volumes of their work have
found their way into the imperial lib
rary. They are all written on thick,
white, royal, octavo, gilt-edge paper,
and are fastened together with
green and red ribbons by the transla
tors themselves.
After circulating through the harem
they are preserved In the library. The
sultan's favorite reading is criminal
romances. He subscribes to all news
papers that contain reports of the
proceedings in the low courts, and
there Is no famous writer of stories
of crime In nny language whose works
have not been translated for him.
HOW TO USE COAL PROPERLY
House Should Not Be Aewed to Be
come 8o Warm That Doors and
Windows Art Opened.
If you want to save coal never al
low the house to get so hot that you
have to throw open the windows and
doors. Thermostats are cheap these
days. They automatically alow down
the Are when the temperature is ris
ing to the uncomfortable point
To get the most out of the heat In
coal, the bouse air should be changed
once an hour. Arrangements for sucb
a change Bhould have been made when
the house was built. But If that was
overlooked when the bouse waB built
you can get the change of air in sev
eral ways, says a writer In the Ameri
can Magasine. I do not believe in get
ting this result by having loose win
dows, as we used to do on the farm.
I prefer tight windows, carefully
weather-stripped. If that has not been
arranged for, or If the cost Is too
great, I find that storm windows are
relatively cheap. Then, air slots which
let In air when you want It are good.
An Actor's Wish.
George Ade, on his return from a
visit to Camp Mills at Mlheola, brought
a story back home, says the Indianapo
lis News. While In New York city Mr.
Arte dropped in at the Lambs club,
where a lot of actors past war age
were sitting around talking about the
trenches. Everybody was anxious to
flght, but all said they were too old.
One of the company said he regretted
greatly that be was not eligible, but
he hoped tliut he might do his bit In
some way on this side. He said: "I
would even be willing to go to France
on the next transport If I could get"
the kind of war job I have In mind."
"What's that?" asked another actor.
"Weil," replied the would-be warrior,
"I should like to go to the front as the
chauffeur for a general with a yellow
streak."
Frlenda In Need.
Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, In an
argument in favor of an excess profit
tax, said In Phoenix :
"These fellows are great friends
of the government, but when It comes
to being taxed, why, then then
they're like Murphy,
. " 'Cheer up, man I' said Murphy to
Dooley. 'Yes look as if yes didn't
have a friend in the whole wurrld.'
" 'Of haven't, nayther,' Dooley
groaned.
" 'G'wan !' cried Murphy heartily.
'If It ain't money yen want to borry.
O'm as good a triad as ever yes had.' "
BulletProof Tlrts.
Experiments made at the North
western Military and Naval academy
apparently show that our best pneu
matic automobile tires are fairly im
mune from injury from rifle bullets,
and It would be Interesting to know
how much trouble has been experi
ence from ' this cnuse on the Euro
pean front, says the Scientific Ameri
can. It Is probable, however, that thlB
is the least of the causes of trouble,
and - that punctures resulting from
running over rough ground, and the
debris of battle wrecked villages arc
far more serious.
81xty Miles an Hour Climbing Speed.
A modern airplane weighing as much
as a small touring car without any
passengers can climb at the rate of 60
miles an hour. The aviator would say
that bis machine's rate of ascension Is

would have an engine of a bruke horse
power of 180. The airplane climbing

STOLEN TREASURES OF ART

Until the present war's outbreak,
everyone has supposed the custom of
nations changed since Napoleon's
time, so that it would no longer he
possible for a conqueror to fill his mu
seums' with plunder. That supposi
tion, like bo many others, seems to
have been given the He by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the . Antwerp and Rru-wls mu
seums for the benefit of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather, in the war
of 1870, took prnctlcnlly no toll of
Purls art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
to the lack. In that Spartan genera
tion, of appreclntiim for art, which led
those earlier Invaders to confine their
activities, for the most part, to or
molu clocks and stiver services. The
modern Prussian, however, from the
crown prince down, has become a
dllettonte, an art connoisseur. Hence
the very thought nf cleanup made of
art objects. Berlin, willy nllly, Is to
be mode a world nrt center. If tour
Ists prefer Pnrls because of its great
er nutural chnrni. Ihey will, In any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
cupltal In order to see Kubens "De

supply, and a collection of stolen art,

mercy unless the terms of ponce pro

These are the other ve words. You
hear them as we In the United States
hear our latest slang phrases. The
Russians use them as we once used
the phrase, 'sixteen to one,' or 'safety
first.' They mean no annexations and
no contributions.' Every Russian lost
in his happy wonderland, full of the
new Joy of life, means, when he uses
these words, to any', This world Is t

In the camp on Elm stream was a
barrel of smoked hams. One morn

the barrel was ha miens, the cook found.
Tracks of a young bear were around
the building.
Dyer set a trap. One morning at
three o'clock the crow were aroused by
a tremendous grunting and thrashing.
The ham thief was In the trap, fat:
furry and furious, securely pinched by
