THE SULTAN'S JEALOUSY. People who have not lived in Con- stantinOple can have no idea of the in- sane jealousy of the Sultan with re- gard to his suocessor. An official Turk will ride miles out of his way rather than pass the palaces where reside exâ€" Sultan Murad and Rechad Effendi. the Sultan's younger brother and heir. A Minister who passed the palace of the latter twioe on his way on important business to the Bosporus, where the Ambassadors, are staying, found on his return the most imperious message from the Sultan requiring his immedi- ate presence at Yildiz Kiosk in order to explain his conduct. Another Min- ister was call-ed upon In 3. Similar man- ner for explanation because at the mo- ment when he was returning the salute of the guard the heir apparent hap- pened to pass in his carriage. and there- fore his salute was supposml to be in- tended for the Prince.

The rye crop 0‘ the principal European counirieS. R115- sia, Germany, France. Austria, Bul- Karin, Roumania, Rally. the low counâ€" tries and Sweden, had average“1 about 1.300 million bushels annually [01‘1896- 5-4-3. This season, according to Amer- ican Agriculturis’t's carefully compiled reports and inquiries through reliable correspondents in the countries of prinvipal production, the rye crop of these countries cannot much exceed 875 million bushels. Here is a shortage 'of 325 million bushels of rye. Euroye’s thortage in rye is even more serious than her wheat deficit. The two crops together are apparently over 600 bushâ€" elis less than the normal. Quite as bad is the potato prospect. Europe produces in ordinary seasons twice as many bushels of potatoes as of wheat. Eler potato crop is about {equnl to her rye and wheat crops toâ€" ;gether. The normal potato crop in the countries above enumerated is 2.850 million bushels. Due allowance for the fears and exaggerations even of our well-informed European representa~ Lives still leads American Agriculturist to the conclusion that only about 1,850 million bushels of potatoes will be har- vested in these countries this year. Without regard to the United Kingdom or other Europe, there is a shortage of some 1.0U0 mililion bub‘hels of pota- ties. Why must not the foreigner expect to pay around thase prices wâ€"day? Beerlxth must have had an inkling of Eumpe's shortage in rye and pota~ hoes whan he fmnvticmlll cabled over from Liverpool that Bang and would be oompe’luled to pay $2 for wh‘eat before the next crap comes in.

At what hour of the day is a man at his strongest. and so fitted to (10 hard work with the least wearinessil Probably the answer occurring at once‘ to most persons will be, " When he gets up in the morning." This is by no means the case; on the contrary. according to experiments of Dr. Buoh with the dy- namometer. a man is precisely at his:. weakest when he turns out of bed. Our I I l I l muscular force is greatly increased by breakfast, but it attains to its highest point after the midâ€"(lay meal. it then sinks for a few hours. risas again, to- ward evening. but steadily declines from night ti 1 morning. The two chief foes of muscular force. according to Dr. Buch. are overwork and idleness. Sweating at work deteriorates the musâ€" cles. Many of the grieat workers of the worLd have. been early risers. But early rising, according to Buch’s doc- trine. ought always to be supplemented by early lireaikiasting. Lord Chelmsford. the British Gener- al who gained fame fighting the Zu- lus and Kaffirs. is one of the most conspicuous visitors in New York just now. Although he is more than 70 years old. and long ago retired from the army. he. is an unusually vigorous man. This is Lord Chelmsford’s first visit to this country. and he says that he intends to inspect the lines of de- fense between the. United States and Canada, not officially, of course, but simply for the purpose of gratifying his soldierly curiosity. He expects to make atrip through the lakes to Du- luth, and his inspeotion of the defenses will furnish hiim amusement. Lord Chelmsford has been accessible to in- terviewers who have called upon him. and he has talked freely on a variety of subjects upon which hecould speak with knowledge and without indiscre- tion. Among other things he has prais- ed the Turkish soldiers and said a. good word for their fighting, which he had an opportunity of observing during the Ur'Lmoan warn All reports speak of great jubilation a'mt'mg' the farmers, rapid payment of their debts. and universal plans fOI‘ improvements in everything pertain- ing to the farm, stock and house.
