It is not healthy to be sultan OF Turkey.
Consequently they never live TO be very
old. An accident Is apt to shorten their
lives. Abdul Hamid ii was born in 1872
His brother Murad V was sultan before
him. but in 1876 the council of ministers de-
clared Murad to be suffering from idiocy, so
thev deposei him and put Abdul Hamid in
his place. We cannot give picture Of the
sultana or empress, from the fact that there
are $50 many Of her. as Artemus Ward
would say. Otherwise We would be glad to
do SO. Quite as an aside in this question, is
it really worth while to perpstuate in civ
iliz,d Europe such barbarism and anach-
ronism as Turkey, with its savage cruslties
of government and the morals and manners
of King Solomon's timei To the unpreju-
dicial eye ii really seems small business foe
