The Sultan's Days Work.

A salary of $1,000 a day would ap
pear to those who have but few wants
nice competency. That is the daily
wages of Abdul Hamid, and no sover-
eign alive earns his money hard0r., Out
of that sum he has, moreover. to pay
for his own board, fire and candies. his
lodgings alone are free; so that cOnSid-
cring the footing on which his estab-
lishment is placed. he must be man OF
order and economy to make both ends
meet with so small an income at his
command. There is, indeed, no more
diigent or active man in his empire
than thesSultan, and it is literally true
of him to say that he eats his bread ia
the sweat of his brow. He gives person
al audience to every one who applies
for it, whenever 1t is possible; when not,
his first adiutant gives audience for him.
The six hundred wives of Abdul-AZiz
have vanished and Abdul Hamid finds
it as much Us he can do TO meet the mil
liners bills of poor three dozen
spouses. This scanty harem leaves him
q rood deal more time for devotion and
State business. He leaves his apart
ment bet.mes, and battles the prison OF
his soul in tepid water, after which he
stretches himself full length upon a car
pet and breathes silent morning pray
er. He then drinks a cup of chocolate
and proceeds Immediately after to the
affairs of the State. Dispatches are re
ceived and sent, reports examined and
approved of, expenses consented to,
! decorations granted, ministers and am
bassadors received, and that goes on fol-
several hours. Toward noon second
carpet is spread at the feet Of the Ruler
| of the Faithful, wherein be prays again,
| and then takes his second breakfast.
| \ ter that he goes out for a drive, and
when he returns he is a. the disposal o.
| his family ard the inhabitants of the
palace. He gives audience to his broth,
ers and sisters, listens to the report o.
| the household officers, confers with the
| chief OF the eunuchs on all sorts of deli
cate subjects and gives him his orders
| The imaum, or chaplain of the palace
also comes in in the evening, and the
sultan prays or reads some pious ool
with him Three times in the week the
Sultan takes lessons on the piano from
| French teacher that is, he listens Il
| his t,aaher playing few morceauX, bu
never plays single scale himself
Late in the evening he dispatches NOR,
State business, and then an hour before
midnight. he, accompanied on Y by thu
chief of the eunuchS, retires to the myS
