Too Much Me! The use of the surgeon's knife is becoming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpolc.of Walsh town, South Dakota, writes; "About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew ra^ idly, and ? shooting pains ran mt fg! 4&W in every direction. W I became alarmed ii JHI \ an<l consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it canand said that it <. must be cut out.

For the .'It >5 days lest year he spent .U.yi; _ ,()<)<). No other hu man being of modern times is accredited with spending one-lifth this enormous amount. It does not include grand State dinners or other elaborate functions. It is simply for his Majesty's every-day meals. (,bieen Victoria, Kmperior Wil liam of (term any, the Czar of Kie sia, l.i Hung Chang?not one of them spends anything like this amount. They are all most extravagant dinners, and the most expensive of tin; world'* delicacies are piled upon their tables, but even by importing the custiliest viands from all parts of lhe world, their table expenses are nowhere near the Sultan's. The much talked of luxury of our own millionaires, such as the Vanderbilts, the Asters, and so forth, sinks into insignificance beside the expenditure of the Sultan. A strange feature of the Sultan's dining is that no one enjoys the food with him. He eats alone. Never, upon any pretext whatever, does he have a companion at his meals. He does not even have a dining room,or a dining hall, hut takes his dinner whereever he may hapyen to be. The menials, at the dinner hour, search out his Majesty, and then in a lonir nrocession brine tin* ban<|iiet to him, table, trays, dishes and all. lie may bo in the palace, or in the garden, or any part of higreat private park. It makes no difference, he takes his meal right op the spot. All the morning, the large corps of imperial cooks firepare the dinner- As the noon hour arrives, slaves are sent in various directions to discover the thereabouts of 11 is Ma jesty. Having done this, they report his exact location to the Sultan's chief chamberlain, who then calculates the time required to transport [the numerous dishes to him without their getting cooled. The chamberlain then stands beside the chief server and supervises the transferring of the different kinds of food from the kettles into the silver tureens. These vessels are very elaborate. They consist of many shapes, sizes and designs, and are beautifully ; chased and engraved. They are so constructed that they can be entirely sealed up, leaving no chance for any one to drop anything into the food. As fast as each vessel is filled, the chamberlain seals it and puts on it his official stamp. This is a guarantee of its inspection, and that it contains no poisonous sub stances. Over each tureen a hellshaped felt cover is clasped down tightly to retain the warmth. Over these felt covers magnificent velvet covers, embroidered with gold and silver threads and pearl, coral or turquoise heads, are spread. The dinner procession, consisting of over a hundred persons, is then formed. First come ten slaves, hearing the great table. It is of silver, and perhaps the most exquisite trble that has ever been made. The legs and sides are richly chased, and the top is so highly polished that it looks like a mirror. Then come a long line of jublakiars, or "first assistants of the chief cook,"' each bearing on his head a tray, upon which rests one of the silver vessels. These jublakiars are so perfectly trained in the art of head balancing that no accident?not even the jarring of a dish?has ever been known. Following come more slaves, bearing on their heads another course, and after them come still other detachments with other courses. In the rear follow the slaves who are to wait on His Majesty. The procession moves np to where the Sultan is standing. Two slaves run forward with a silken rug. which is spread upon (he tloor or ground as the case may be. < in this a divan is placed, and the Sultan reclines. The table is placed in front of him and the tureens are brouget up. As each is set down the ('hamherlain steps forward and breaks the seal. <>n each side of him stands an imperial taster. The Chamberlain hands a ladlcful from each vessel first to one taster and then to the other. After it has been swallowed the < lia in her la in then takes a spoonful himself, the Sultan meanwhile watching the operation. Kverything being satisfactory, the kettles, one after another, are arranged before Ili< Majesty, who runs his eye over the many viands. Then he picks and chooses, eating a piece here and a piece there, a mouthful of meat, a spoonful of water ice, a sweet cake and a tiny lish hall. The Sultan never uses u plate, lie takes all his food directly from the silver tea kettles that are arranged in a circle around him, rarely ever using a knife or fork. A spoon, his bread and his fingers, which are constantly wiped by an attendant, who stands at his side, are handier and more to his liki ng. flow\ This f Wo offer One Hiueiri i Doll ar.-- Nruanl fin nr. case of <'atarrh that cunnot he cured hv I fall'h ( 'atarrh < tire I .1 < IIKNKV .v I'll, Toledo, 11 Wo, tho undersigned, havo known r J.
