RUSSIAN VERSUS TURK.
A Contest In Which Ivsn Won With
Lauchtbl .
Some years ago a Eussian and a
'Turkish officer were having a dis
pute as to the superiority in disci
pline of their respective goldien.
"I can prove to you on th pot,'
eaid the Ilussian, "how perfectly
our men are trained," and he called
his orderly. "Ivan!" "Sir." "Goto
Mehemet's, buy me a pound of to
bacco and come back at onee."
The Boldier Faluted, turned on K'.i
heel and went out. "Navr," said tha
Russian officer, taking out hi watch,
"my orderly is- walking itraight to
the next corner, where he muet
turn; nor he is turning; now he is
opposite the white mosque; now he
is crossing the maydan; now he is
at Mehemet's; now he is buying the
tobacco; now he is coming back;
now he is on the block below us;
now he is at the door; now" And
the Eussian called out, "Ivan!"
"Sir."
"Where's my tobacco?"
"Here, sir."
The Turkish officer, showing no
sign of surprise at the precision
of this liusso-tobacco movement,
promptly broe out:
"Ho, ho! My soldier can do that
every day in the week," and he
called, "iluchtar!"
"Sir."
"Go to Ali EHendi's and see that
you bring me a pound of tobacco.
My pipe is empty."
, ';"lastfintly, sir."
' Following the tactics of the Rus
sian officer, the Turk pulled out his
watch and went on: "Much tar is ia
the street ; now he ia passing the pal
pooch bazaar ; now it is noon and he
js saying his prayers; now he is
, drinking at the stone fountain; now
. Ali Eilendi hails him and a3k3 him
: about my health; now Muchtar is
paying for the tobacco ; now he is
.coming back by another way; now
ho is on our street; now he is at the
door; now
s "Muchtar!" shouted the officer.
"Sir."
"Where is my tobacco?"
-"I haven't found my shoes yet!"

Tbe ceremonial of the Ckiaeee
court, which used to include com
plete prostration before the throne,
was once the occasion for a display
of cool audacity. In the eighteenth
century a Tertian enToy refusd to
go through the degrading ordeal,
and directions were given to the
officials to compel him ty stratagem
to do bo. On arriving one day at
the entrance to the hall xl audience
the envoy found no means of going
in except by a wicket, which would
compel him to stoop very low. With
great presence of mind and consid
erable audacity the' ambassador
turned around and entered back
ward, and thus, according to his
own conception of etiquette, saved
the dignity of hh country fr&m out
rage. nniAS BLOOD IHAJIKS.
A tale of horror was told by marks
of human blcod in the home of J. W
Williams, a well known merchant of
Bac, Ky. He writes: "Twenty years,
ago I had severe hemorrhages of the
lungs, and was near death when I be
gan taking Dr. King's New Discovery.
It completely cured me and I have re
mained well ever since." It cures
Hemorrhages, Chronic Coughs, Settled
Colds and Bronchitis, and is the only
known cure for Weak Lungs. Every
