The sultan's Quandary.

After various confic ting reports we at
last receive m official admission OF tho
decisive triumph OF the rebels In Yemen
the relatively rich and populous province
occupying the southwestern corner OF tho
great Arabian peninsula. This Is IN event
of the grnvest moment to the Sultan ABDUL
HAMID, and will probably compel him to
choose promptly and once for all whether
to throw himself into the arms Of England
or Of Russia.
When the revolt broke out in Yemen. all
well-informcd observers recognized that
its prompt suppression WAS essential
to the maintenance Of the moral ascend
ancy OF the Ottoman Sultan over the ortho-
dox Mohammedans. Should the rebellion
prove successful there. 1t was fOresce that
IL would quickly spread northward and
throughout the peninsula and lead to the
expulsion Of the Turkish garrisons from
Mecca and Medina. Tho loss Of tho holy
places would cut away the only ground on
which the inhabitants OF Arabia. Syria. and
Mesopotamia scquiesce In tho caliphal pre-
tensions OF tho house OF OTHMAN. Tho
Arabs. proud OF their lineage. of their native
aptitude for civilization. and OF their
historical achievements. have always looked
salien Turks TO dominate tho lands which
wore the cradle and the earliest conquests
of islam. Their learned men havo never ac-
knowledged the right Of tho last Abbassid
Caliph to bequeath by will to SELIM /. the
functions OF Vicar Of the Prophet. They
have enjoined temporary obedience to the
Turkish ruler on the ground that he was ut
least Caliph de fdcto. as being master OF the
two cities mcmorably associated with Mo-
HAMMED's career. and therefore superla-
lively sacred In the eyes OF trno believers.
1t has never been doubted that. the Turkish
soldiers once driven from Arabian soil. tho
Prophets fellow countrymen would elevate
u pure-blooded Arab to tho post OF Com
mander OF the Faithful. Such n reputation
Of tho Turkish claim to exercise religious
authority by the inhabitants OF Mecca and
Medina would not only shake the Sultan's
hold on Damascus and Bagdad and all the
sections OF Asiatic Turkey which have a con-
siderable Arab population. but would also
place Ills life In imminent peril ut Constan-
tlnoplc. He would be denounced In the
mosques as recreant and incapable OF rul-
Ing. and there might be- witnessed In the
streets OF STEAMBOAT another uprising OF the
sofas like that which caused the deposition
and assassination OF ABDUL AzIz.
What Is tho present Sultan to do in cri-
sis whose outcome may place his life In
jeopardyi Tho exhaustion Of his treasury
is chsrgeable with the failure Of tho troops
previously despatched to quell the Yemen
tnsurrection. The resnforcements sent for
that purpose were nl-supplied with ammu-
milton and wholly unprovided with food.

Republican NIoralizers on Wealth.

Tho Hon. ROSWELL PETrInoNE FLOWER
has had the good fortune to make q good
deal OF money. He was not born rich. and
whatever he now possesses he owes to his
own excrtions. He has made his fortune
honestly. He Is liberal and philosophical
In his use OF It, He has not been spoiled by
It. He has not forgotten for II moment tho
genuine popular and democratic instincts
which were born In him. It suits tho Re-
publicans just at present to assume that
Mr.. Flowers only qualification Is his
wealth. and that even this Is to DO reckoned
against him as Il crime.
Harping on this string will soon tire tho
public. There are few persons living in
New York or any other State who would
not like to DO rich.
The amusing thing about the sudden
ascetlc spirit manifested by the New York
Republicans In regard to Mr.. Flowers pos
sessions Is that their aversion to his wealth
Is accompanied with a strong yearnlng to
open the strong boxes Of the nabobs Of the
Union League Club. These gentlemen have
been bled so often that it Is with difficulty
that they will listen to the demands Of Mr..
PLAT for contributions to make his pup
pet Governor. but Mr.. PLATT does not de-
spair. Mr.. WILLIAM BRooKFIELD. a wealthy
manufacturer Of glass. and a member OF tho
Union League. is made Chairman OF the
State Committee In order that he may per-
suade the long purses OF the milionaires
to open. Tonight a formal attempt will
be made to set the Union Lesguers to
subscribing to the PLATr campaign fund.
First there will be dinner to Mr.. PLAT
FAssErr and his associates on the ticket.
and there will be present at this dinner
such striking illustrations OF the gospel
OF poverty a. Mr.. H. o. ARMOUR. Mr.. JOHN
SLOAN. Mr.. JESSE SELIaMAN. and Mr.. WILL
LIAM P. CLYDE. Then there will a reception.
which millionaires will not be forbidden to
attend. The whole object Of the meeting.
In fact, is to bring about cordial financial
relations between Mr.. PLArr's candidate
and the money bags.
The Republican moralizers who pretend
to object to wealth object only to wealth In
Democratic hands. Wealth which they can't
get at fills their souls with Indignation and
ethical reflections OF great melancholy.

a EriIa's First LESSON.

A brides first lesson is to respect the
extreme sensitiveness of her husband,
who doesn't want people to know he
has Just been married Consequently
she will be wise if after her first jour
ney she assumes q gown that has seen
wear; if she will forget to look around
in a startled manner whenever her hus-
band is gone from her side, as it is not
likely that he is either going to be lost
or stolen. The next thing is not to kiss
him or hold his hand In public, CT call
him darling" Any woman can make
a man feel her love without making
him ridiculous.
Another thing for her to learn is,
4e1o.atat.--t< -aEcAy
not to give her a piece of her wedding
cake and tell her all about the marriage
ceremony, and tell her how she looked.
You think this is never done2 Ask at
some large hotel. And she shouldn't
giggle or look surprised when she gets a
letter from her mother addressed to
her in her married name. Men are
particularly sensitive creatures about
some things, and they are rather given
to think q woman don't want name
when she acts in this way-Ladies'
Home Journal.

DON'T MARRY 4 WIDOWE II

BY Mt. Olive Young Lady
Girls complain that men do not
marry. The complaint is thread.
bare; ii was the per grievance of
the mothers and the grandmothers
OF the present generation, vet q
comfortable proportion Of the fair
complainants became mothers of
families when their turn came.
There are few girls in American
society who cannot marry if they
choose. Only they must not reckon
on starting in life where their
mothers lett off.
If the daughter of rich man
proposes to enjoy, as a married
woman, the comforts and luxu, les
she had in her maiden home she
must take a midd.e-aged man for
her spouse, one who has drunk the
cup OF romance to the dregs, and
for whom life has no illusions. She
will have her carriages; but OF such
Il husband she may fairly, expect
some day, to be the widow.
LII she wants partner in life
with heart as fl esh as her own, and
capacity for sav0ring the sweet
stiffness fyoung love, she must
take a youth whose buttons she will
have tn sew on, whose dinner she
will have to oversee, il not cook,
and whose narrow income she will
have to exc out SO as to make both
ends meet. In such case she may
possibly never wear a widows
weeds. Which alternative offers
the fairest prospect of happiness,
girls must decide for themselves.

The man who can't see a mighty
deal of fun il. the present political
situation must be as sour AS picked
cucumber. 1t might not be exactly
true to say that the various presidep-
tial candidates are providing us with
a roaring farce, and yet their petty
rivalries and personal jealousies are
enough to give the whole nation a
stitch in the side.
Can We help enjoying ourselves in
this tented circus, this great moral
show, with Harrison Oh the home

a Curious Fact About Nickel and Iron.

a Curious Fact About Nickel and Iron.
In the interesting process which has
lately come into vogue of plating iron
with nickel by pressure between rolls
at a welding heat, the nickel is ingeni-
ously recovered from the clippings and
shearings OF the plate, simply by the
action OF dilute sulphuric acid at a
temperature of 55 dogs, Cent. that is,
the iron is dissolved, and the nickel is
obtained in the form of thin sheets as
1t was melted upon the iron, the opera
ton being complete when the evolution
of hydrogen ceases; even fresh acid at
the same temperature has practically
no effect
But though the separation of the two
metals is thus apparently perfectly
made, a curious fact is remarked, name
ly, that when the residual nickel is
chemically examined it is found to diff
fer from its original composition, the
amount OF iron present being notably
increased. An example of this is noted
in the case of a nickle containing origi-
nally .O9 per cent. of iron, 3 per cent.
more being found when it was re-
covered from the plate cuttings. and
even by a long continued treatment
with dilute acid the iron could not be
sensibly reduced
This peculiar behavior points, it is
believed, to the possibility of positive
chemical combination taking place be-
tween the metals, and that alloys of
iron and nickel are produced in the
process of welding. it being fact
well known to chemists and metal
lurgists that iron, with but even a small
proportion of nickel, resists the action
] OF acids much more than the pure
metal.-New York Sun.
