The sultan.s oloset skeIeton.

II things were done in Turkey as elsewhere,
the decease Of the sultan's mad half brother,
Murad V, would have been notified to the
diplomatic body, and the Turkish court
would have gone into mourning. But it is
forbidden to speak openly of the sultan's fe-
male relatives or Of the sultans heir. The
man who will succeed Abdul Hamid is a
wretched, lean, palefaced creature Of Eve
and forty, named Mohammed Rechad. He
is the sultan's own brother, and is kept a
close prisoner in the palace grounds, lest he
should conspire for his majesty's downfall
He has certainly no such intention, but
usage requires that sultans heir apparent
should be treated a. a suspected criminal,
and Abdul Hamid is much too nervous a
creature to innovate in this particular He
has horrible fear lest his brother, Murad
V, who became crazy from having been
raised to the throne too suddenly, should re-
co=er his senses, butof this there is no chance;
and noss that Murad's mother is dead who
win there be to prevent the poor lunatic
from being hurried to his end by pinch Of
something in his collect Murad's mother,
the Sultana Nadine, superintended his house
hold and never left him. Il would have
been impossible to molest him while she was
alive, but it would be only too much in keep
ing with Turkish traditions if the unhappy
madmaR we're now quietly removed in order
that Abdul Hamid might sleep more soundly.

Peculiar temptations beset the young wo-
man Of fashion
A church congregation near Little Wash
ington has been working hard for a week or
4 two getting ready boxes Of clothing for the
home missions. A young lady, who is rather
noted for her stylish dress had charge Of the
| filling Of one box. As she turned over the
various articles she came to a tailor made
dress which some wealthy woman had con-
tributed. Inside the band at the neck she
perceived themystic word Redfern" stitched.
| It was but the work of a moment and a sharp
pair Of scissors to cut this trade mark from
/ the dress. AS she packed away the dress,
having put tie bit Of pilfered tape in her
pocketbook, she said TO herself; What does
a missionary's wife know Of fashionable dress
makersi It will be the making Of my new
walking dress. -Pittsburg Dispatch,
