Little else was talked Of In court

OF the Empress Augusta Victoria for
some weeks after her recent visit TO
the harem OF the Sultan at CONSTANT
nople. The visit was at FIRST believed
to have been one OF ceremony purely
and unattended by any unusual Incl

corning IL most attractive and
amusing story. Indeed. the episode

on us when we arrived at the palace
OF Dolma- Bagtsche. and with MS own

her colt Is really hers until she has
certified the fact by means OF her nose.
Blind horses. as a rule. will gallop
wildly about a pasture without strik-
ing the surrounding fence. The sense
OF smell informs them OF its proximity.
Others will, when loosened from the
stable, go directly TO the gate or bars
