THE SHAFTS HOME LIFE.
The Persian RULERS Sixty Wives and Forty
Children--The Heir Appropriateness
ing Domestic Surroundings of a Despot


Children--The Heir Appropriateness
ing Domestic Surroundings of Despot.
The domestic life of the Shah is shroud-
ed In the mystery common to Musselmen
countries, says a Teheren letter to the
London Times. The actual number of
wives and concubines in the royal anderun
is not accurately known, but is is reported
to be about sixty. By these the Shah has
had family of about forty children, of
whom nineteen are still living-vlz., seven
sons and twelve daughters, several of the
latter being married to prominent subjects.
His eldest-born son died thirty years ago
at the age of II years; his youngest was
born since his recent return to Teheran
The vallahd, or heir-apparent, is not his
eldest surviving son, but his eldest son by
a princess of royal blood.
In the old days the succession to the
throne was decided by no definite rule, but
by the caprice ofthe sovereign, the rank or
Origin of the mother being held of little
moment, The Kajar dynasty, however,
has instituted the blood-royal qualification
which is responsible for the seleation of
the present valiahd. His name is
of age has large family, both of sons
and daughters, some of whom are already
married. In accordance with another
fixed but most impolitic tradition of the
Kajar dynasty the valiahd is appointed
governor of the northwestern province Of
Azerbaijan, with his capital and palace at
without the sanction of the Shah; and, I'M
INJURED there, he remains in total ignorance
of the politics and statescraft of Teheren of
no ST. no bo1, To
the system he may have to administer, the
people whom he may have to rule.
There seems to be an agreement that he
is more or less under the influence of the
Shaikhi sect, which may be described as a
fanatical agency. Those, however, who
are best entitled to speak, represent him as
intelligent and amiable, and by no means
destitute of individuality.
The third grown up son of the Shah, by
name Kamran Merza, but more commonly
called by his title of the naib-es- sutaneh,
holds the posts of Minister of War, Com
mander-in-C Chief of the Persian army and
governor of Teheron He is now SO years
of age, and is also unusually stout for
hisyears. Though generally reputed to b.
the favorite son of the Shah and man
amiable disposition, he is deficient
capacity or political influence and, excep
for the importance attaching to his mill
tary rank, fill no part on the public stage
Alone among the Shahs sons, he speaks
very toIerable French, and can converse
without the aid of an interpreter. He is
understood to be very much afraid of his
elder brother, and to be on the reverse of
friendly terms with him. The remaining
sons of the Shah are little boys of 7 or 8
years, few months of age, the offspring
of younger and latter wives.
