How a Turks House is Divided

Turkish house is divided into two
parts-the selamlik for the men, the
haremlik for the women; and the latter
has as many separate suites of apartments
as there are ladies. A Turk who has but
one wife may require large haremlik if
his mother and sister live with him, for
each of these ladies must have her pri
waite set of rooms and servants for her sepa
rate use. There must be no crowding an6
no mixing of domestics in we'll ordere.
establishment; so that if there be fou,
wives they need never see one anothel
unless they please. The first wife is calico
the hanun, and takes precedence over the.
others all her life. She has a right to
the best rooms and to fixed share Of
her husbands income, which he must not
reduce to minister to the caprice of his
younger spouses. AS these points have
generally been settled through the ulemas
OF priests before the wedding, hanun's
joinlure is as safe as that Of a French
E, an who has had contract drawn up
oy notary.
During the last twenty years monog-
amy has become more and more the
rule nong Turks of the highest class,
and even among those who have two or
three wives, the hanun has gradually
come to be regarded as having the same
rank as the wife in an English or Ameri-
can house. She visits and entertains the
hanuns of other gentlemen, but keeps
alaof from wives Of the second and other
degrees. These are not equals in her
sight, being generally ladies of lower
social status. who have not brought any
aowry to their husband Time was when
pasta would take four wives of an
equal degree, all being daughters of the
other pashas or of the Sultan and all
richly portioned, but manners have alter
ed IN this respect at all events, in the
European part of Turkey. It must no.
be supposed however, that hanuu
cherishes any such jealous hatred of he
fellow wives as is felt by wife who see,
her husband firt with strange women
She is content with the largest share q
her husbands respect, without demand
ing his exclusive devotion.

Anderson and Secretary sherman ON
the stand.
WEDNESDAY, July 3.--Emile L. Weber
testified before the Potter committee that in
conversation with Senator Sherman witness
was assured that if his brother should stand
by the President he would be protected Two
Or three days after his brother showed him
the Sherman letter, and told him Sherman
gave it to him. Witness had the Sherman let
ter in his hand. It was written on double
ed before election by Kellogg, Thomas G. An
derson and Packard to secure affidavits of in
timidation in the parishes OF East and West
Feliclana for the purpose Of throwing out
those parishes. Witness testified farther as
to the examination OF the Sherman letter, and
its destruction; about the action of Mrs.
jerks, Mrs Dan Weber and her brother;
about Eliza Pinkston, snd other matters, aver
ring that MIS-. jerks had told Mrs. Weber the
Sherman letter was worth thousand dollars,
and said she would pay her a good price for
it. Mrs. jerks did not intimate to Mrs. Web
er that she had any thing to do with the au-
thorshp the letter, tut always spoke of it
ing Weber and Anderson positions in the adj
ministration. Witness produced letters from
several parties, and his further examination
was postponed, and he was ordered to appear
before the subcommittee at New Orleans.
The committee adjourned to July 10th.
MONDAY, July 8.-The Potter sub-com-
mittee had session at New Orleans, Mon
day July s tn, and witnesses were examined
But nothing of importance was elected, ex-
cepting to bring out lin holder relief the
crookedness of Louisiana political action. It
was shown that in 1872 indictments had been
found against Thomas Ri. jerks for embezzle-
ment, and had been nollied and the records
do not show that any warrant had been issued
for jerks, and he may not have known of the
Indictment. No evidence of an indie tment
against T. B. jerks was found.

n. Important lid for. Farmers.
Saltwater Lumberman. /

Happening in at the Office Of Seymour,
Sabin, & Co., Wednesday morning, our at
tention was called to the number Of orders
received by mail that morning. for Min
nesota Chief Threshers. Single orders came
for ten machines; there were two for two
each. The entire number of machines
ordered amounted to thirty, and the orders
were all from Minnesota and Iowa, except
two. This led to inquiries as to the bust
ness of the firm, and we gathered some facts
that may be of interest to our readers.
EXTENT OF THE BUSINESS.
On the day before our call there had been
shipped Is machines, and the entire number
shipped this season, up to that hour, had
been 424, while s more were then ready for
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1878-07-17
the cars, making the seasons shipments, up

the cars, making the seasons shipments, up
to Wednesday night, 1872. The number of
sales this season has been something over
600 machines, about LIS orders remaining
yet to be filled. No business day Of late has
brought orders for less than Is machines,
and the selling season has just fairly open
ed. The prospect now is that three, and per-
haps four machines will be wanted by
agents for every one that can possibly be
supplied.
MERITS OF THE MINNESOTA CHIEF.
The letter files of the firm give conclusive
evidence that the Minnesota Chief sells on
on its merits to remarkable degree. In
places where single machines are once in
operation, there is at once demand for
more. In sections where the Minnesota
Chief is introduced, agents almost invariably
report that the representatives of other
threshing machine firms are cutting down
on prices, and still the Chief sells steadily
and much more rapidly than it can be sup
piled. The Saltwater firm is now building
more threshers than any other house in the
country save one.
Sales are rapid in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Kentucky, Texas, and Kansas. In the last
State it is believed that the number of the
Minnesota Chiefs sold is more than double
the number of sales of any other thresher.
and if all orders could be filled the sale of
the Chief would be greater than the sales of
all other machines, introduced in the State,
combined. The Minnesota Chief is already
an established favorite with farmers who
have seen it in Oregon, and the foundation
of large business has been laid there.
Proposals have been made to the firm, by
New York house, looking to the introduc-
ton of the Minnesota Chief in New Zealand
and Australia, and arrangements for the first
shipment will probably be closed ere this
article reaches the eye of the reader. Bust
ness with those distant markets will be done
entirely on cash basis. Reports from
Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, and all winter
wheat regions where the thresher is now in
operation, indicate that the demand another
year will be far in excess of the demand the
present season, and the shrewdest may we'll
hesitate before fixing limit for the future
growth of the business of manufacturing the
Minnesota Chief.
PAST GROWTH.
The record of the past few years shows
conclusively how satisfactory the Chief has
proved in operation. In 1875 there were
manufactured machines. The next year
125 were made. In 1877 the number reach
ed 312. It was intended to double that
number this year, but the pressure of de-
mand will COMPEL the firm to do much more
than that, and even then a majority of APP
plicants will be obliged to wait. The firm
will, however, fill all orders that it con,
tracts to fill, and all who are promised
threshers by responsible representatives of
the concern will get them. The growth of
business based on the merit of the thresher
has been fostered by such judicious manage
| ment as insures the future.

This is indeed a subject quite 0
