Guests.
When the drat Turkish minister,
Melo Mule, catna to Washington a
grand ball was planned in his honor.
Hundreds of invitations were sent out
and nearly everybody who received
one came, for there was much curiosi-
ty to see the important Turk in hist
native dress.
Particularly were persons anxious
to examine the splendid dress turban
which had been described and talked
about, made, as it was, of plaster of
parse, yet looking like the finest mus-
lin. Wkan the evening arrived Mole
Mole reenfied 40 be the only one who
was not having a good time. He stood
looking as 11 ha dM not know that
everybody was admiring him and alto-
gether was very much bored till sud-
denly he caught a glimpse of a big
negro woman who was assisting in
serving the supper.
Instantly he trashed up td her, and,
throwing his arras about her neck
gave her a good kiss, explaining that
he could not help it, she reminded
him so much of his best and most
expensive Rife, and while the com-
pany thought it a very odd thing to
do, everybody could understand that
he was a homesick man and nobody
minded It in the least.
LEAN-TO OF OOTHAMtTES.
New Yorkers 'Bo+utd to Prop Against
1 Something When They Stop ,
r i in the Street to Talk.
"I woneer," said the man from Min-
nesota, "why so many New York people
have the lean-to habit? It makes them
took very Queer. Wben in motion their
bodies lean backward or forward or
sideways like an animated inclined
plane, and when they are to repose they
flop still worse.
"No matter where you stop to talk to
a New York man, he is bound' to lean
against something. In stores he leaus
against counters, in saloons he braces
himself up against the bar, in hotels the
pillars and chairs contribute to his sup-
port, in restraurants he leans on the ta,-
bie, and itt the street against the walls
of projecting buildings. And the wom-
en are just as bad as the 'men. Nobody
seems to have $punk enough to stand up
straight.
"Perhaps tiff people are are tired, or
it may be that they are seeking a grace-
ful pose. At any rate, they flop on all
occasions. The proprietors of some of
the shops evidently deprecate the uni-
versal tendency to lean against some-
thing, and wish • to discourage it, for
they have distributed signs about the
stores warning customers not to Iean
on the counters, but, so tar as 1 can see,
these notices are only a bluff. At any
rate, New Yorkers don't heed them;
they keep on leaning just the same."

be due to the fact that they live at a
depth where almost total darkness
prevails. The blind varieties had
enormous feelers or antennae, soma
of them extending to twice the length
of their bodies.
