In the far east rule* and restrictions
may be made to yield to influence
with a latent force behind
it, as instanced by this serio-cojnie
incident found in Captain A. B.
Townshend's book, "A Military Consul
In Turkey."
A certain highly influential foreigner
at Adrianople some yearf ago
wanted a Christinas tree and orderfnAma

but when the tree, an unpretentious
little fir about ten feet high, armed
at Adrianople station some
one discovered that it was illegal to
receive "plants" from abroad. )
"Yasak" (it is forbiddoh), said
the custom house,
i "Yas&k," echoed the sentry ec
The foreigner said whatever was
; tBe equivalent to "rubbish" and de
laaihded the tree.
Here wba b biee quandfrry for the"
authorities. Evidently it was a most
:[earful thing to receive a tree from
abroad, and yet the consignee was
? capable of getting some one into
very serious trouble if he did not
get his tree, and he said he must
have it within forty-eight hours.
Some one at the etistom house
soared above the difficulty. The.tree

Noblest Musical Instrument.
The organ is far and away the
x "noblest" of all musical instruments..
. The harp, the violin and

- some respects finer than the organ
?but as an all round instrument

A Munchausen Yarn.
- ^JEjargP Munchausen when hunting
for deer upon one occasion en-:
ooqptered a magnificent animal, but
foujid htavelf without shot. Speedily
gathering together a handful of
cherry stones, he loaded his gun
wi$r them and fired at the deer,
hitting - him 6quarely between the
eyeVnot killing him, however. The
deer managed to escape, but some
time later the baron encountered
him again and was surprised to see
a beautiful cherry tree growing out
?f the animal's forehead, covered
with hlofiboms and fruit.
The Gourmand Period.
Nothing in our modern record of
eitravagance in costly feeding
touches the old East India commnv
banouets. which (Mr. Glad
r y * > \
stone used to recall) cost 7 guineas
a head. He remembered a dinner
given to Talfourd in celebration of
some cop} right triumph which cost
?2 17s. 6d. a head. Those were the
days of the gourmand, when it was
not uncommon for a rich man to
entertain forty-eight guests at a
cost of ?560, as much as ?150 being
went on flowers alone. ? London

Ancient Mothers.
Little Olive was showing her
birthday presents, of which there
was a generous number, to one of
her mother's friends.
"You are a very highly favored
*<' little girl," said the lady. "When
t your mother and I were little we
f:, did not have 60 many nice pres??
ents."
Olive breathed a sigh of thankfulness
and said, *'Oh, how glad I
f- am I did not live in Bible times.**?
