The Sultan OF Turkey.
Fortnightly Magazine.

Add ul-Humid, the Sultan of the
Ottoman Empire, Is a most high ard
puissant monarch. His will Is law,
and his nod IS death. He has many
palaces; he rules despotically over
vast empire; he makes quantities of
Pashas cross their fawn:ng hands
whenever he looks at them; he has the
power to do anything to any one of
his faithful subjects recall
him to life after he has killed him.
But social power he has none. His
life is passed in an endless round of
official drudgery, nay, positive servi-
tude. Each minutest detail OF busi-
ness, from tho highest visions of
diplomacy down to the opening of
new coffee louise on the shores of the
Bosphorus, passes through his august
hands; and each incident of every
transaction forms focus of intringues
which in their conglemerate mass, it
would take twenty Sultans with
hundred times Add ul- Hamid's power
to disarm and defeat What time,
therefore, can he have to spare
for society," The Commander of
the F'aitnfd, aIssyy heIsesn any W eek
as he goes to his Fridays prayer.
Thea before the gaze of an adoring
populacc, through lines OF splendid
troops, crowds of brilliant aids>de>
camp and Pashas, fair yelled ladies,
braying brass bands, and screaming
dogs there passes thin-faced, long
nosed, grizzled bearded pale man in a
half closed carriage, nervoUsly iut-
tering his hand before his face by
way of salute and receiving the low
salaams of all in return. He hurries
into the mosque, scarce giving hlm~
self time to throw a half>frfghtened
glance round, and so is lost to view
before he can well be seen, When
one considers why that face is so
worn and pale, why those hands are
so nervous, how the heart behind
that blue military coat must ba

grateful that one is but private

perpetual fear of assassination. The
head of the state neither caring nor
daring to assume his position in soci-
ETY., no other Turk essays the role OF
social leadership. Not only might
such an attempt cause him to be un
favorably regarded by kis sovereign,
but the Turk has neither by tempera
ment nor custom, any inclination to
mix in European scclty. 1t is too gay,
too animated for him. He is quiet,
sober, reflective creature, who, after
his days work, likes to return to his
house, put on hts old slippers and his
old coat, and, after his evening meal,
devote himself to contemplative smok-
ing among his women folk and chill
dren. Or, if he is in more social
mood, he will perhaps invite some of
his intimates to smoke, and chuckle
over childish stories with them in the
outer chamber. Again, he can not
return hospitality; the harem system
puts that out of question. Finally,
he likes to go to bed and rise early
habits incompatible with social du-
ties.

bank for just the amount of the bonds

a great migration of squirrels is in
progress from Mississippi IN the direc-
ton of Arkansas. Men are killing
thousands OF them with sticks. The
scarcity of mast is the cause of the
movement.

Sharks have invaded the fishing
grounds Of West Donegal, Ireland, in
such numbers as to drive the fisher
men away. Many boats have been
assaulted, in some cases SO desperately
that those on board had to pull for
their lives.
PHYSICIANS have to pay $50 for
good skeletons and $50 for common
ones. The preparation of them is
growing to be quite business. The
most difficult part of the process is to
clean the bones without marring
them. Medical college janiters pretty
nearly monopolizs the trade. The
French excel in whitening the bones
and making them presentable.

REVERE BY THE RIVER.

The summertime is finished,
The sun with heat diminished.

And leaves are turning brown;
The stream runs thick and muddy,
And time has come 70 study

What greater joys has town?
Is Il more hard to scramble
Through brier brake and bramble,
Than crush and fight through half the night
Upon a stuffy stair!
At least fresh air you breathe here!
Whilst fresher bowers wreathe here,
And ones thick dresses can stand their Presse
And never dread q tearl
Here "sweetheartsn are for asking,
Without a N oment's taskinR
or heart or mind their clasp they wind
Around each maiden shy;
And when we choose TO leave them
We need not fear TO grieve them,
Nor dream Of Cupid-that infant stupid
But kilt our skirts and fly.
And each her pets may foster,
Nor fear what It may cost her
OF sigh or groan to leave them lonei
Each pet will greet returning
With joyous voice and candid,
TO chant her praises Bonded
Who drst will feed their empty greed,
Nor age nor face discerning.
