therefore, are sometimes quite ira

STA THE one he took with him on his
first European trip in 1873 after her
return home once saw the wife of the
Russian ambassador play the piano
So she insisted on having one. you
know anything of the roads in Persia
and of the absence of railroads and
navigable rivers you will appreciate
the difficulty of bringing big concert
piano from Paris to Teheran. When
it arrived, some three months later, it
was so completely damaged as to be
fit only for kindling wood. Besides,
there was not a single piano teacher
in Persia and Yulda Khanum, the IA
vorite wife, knew absolutely nothing
about manipulating a piano anyway.
But a second piano was ordered at
once. That fell down a precipice
while being transported over the
Kharsan pass on the way to the Per-
sian capital, and a third one was or
dered. That at last arrived in pretty
sound condition. But by that time
Yulda Khanum didn't care for a piano,
and thus it was relegated to the mu-
scum of the shah, where it still is.
These three pianos had cost his
majesty some S15O,O0O. On another oc-
casion the same lady noticed new
Paris gown on the wife of the Austrian
ambassador, and she insisted on hav-
ing one exactly like it. When it came
she put it on and off during an entire
day, just like child with a new toy,
and then threw it away.

healthy, has the digestion of an os-

has been more or less contact with the
occident and a loosening of the old
customs in consequence of that, the
oriental woman is not so good nor so
amiable as in the interior. Cities

The oriental is, generally speaking,
very frugal in his personal habits, and
that allows him to spend the more
money on his harem, |. c., on his
wives, children and servants. His
own part of his house-in Turkey
called selamlilS and in Persia called
biroun-is fitted up with severe sim
plicty. But he begrudges no expense
to his women. Relatively speaking,
too, the dry goods bills and the jewell
ers' bills and the sums expended on
sweets are much larger than they arc
for the American husband.
Even the shah Of Persia, miserly as
he is in his habits, finds no fault with
the enormous waste of his good gold
that is going on in his anderoun or
harem. Since the intellect of the
oriental women lies fallow and has
never been trained (their education

Since the days of Lord Byron and
his oriental epics curiosity among the
English-spealling people of the world
has never been thoroughly appeased
so far as the woman of the east is con-
cerned. To speak with Goethe, it is
the eternal womanly" which attracts,
and in truth there are so many strange
and vital differences between, say, an
American girl or wife and her Persian
and Turkish sisters that volume
could easily be filed enumerating
them. don't propose to do this in
this present article and thus weary
the reader, but I'll content myself with
pointing out some of these differences
and, incidentally, correcting some erro-
neous impressions that have obtained
q hold on the western mind. I'll dis
pense with chronological order or any
other kind of order in so doing, as I'll
be able to cover more ground in fewer
words.
True, there is still some buying and
selling of female slaves in the eastern
lands. In Turkey the law of the state
(due to English pressure) forbids this,
but like other laws it is not rigidly
carried out. There are dealers in SIAM
boul even, within a stones throw of
Yildiz kiosk (the sultans favorite pal
ace), and on another occasion perhaps
may tell of visit | paid one of the
principal ones early in 1886. The
young female slaves kept for sale and
barter there are of three kinds: Nubi-
an ii. e., black skinned and intended
for harem service), Syrian and Circas-
sian.
The latter, as the handsomest, fairest
and by far the most accomplished and
intelligent, command the highest
prices, and fabulous sums are now and
then paid for them. The gifted son of
Khalil Pasha once paid 5000 Turkish
pounds, about $4,000, for one such
beauty. Many of the fairest inmates
of the harems, though, not alone in
Turkey and Persia, but also in Egypt,
in Afghanistan, etc, are gifts made by
fathers or mothers to the rulers and
governors of those countries. None of
the many wives of the sultan or of the
shah were purchased outright, In
Persia there is the peculiar institution
of seeghay. That means a temporary
wife-i. e., wife with whom the mar.
riage contract has been stipulated for
only certain specified perhaps
for three months, perhaps for five

This custom, one peculiar to Persia
(where the form of the prevailing Mo-
hammedan faith is the Sheeite, and diff
fers materially from the Turkish and
Arabian, the Sunnite), has its incon-
veniences and drawbacks, no doubt, but
also it's decided advantages, and one
consequence of it is that throughout
Persia there are no women leading dis
solute and depraved lives But the in
stitution of seeghay is also responsible
for an enormous amount of litigation
there, claimants to honors and large
fortunes constantly arising under the
pretense of being the sons of seeghays
of the particular grandee whose in
heritance is to be disposed Of Tine
grandfather of the present shah, whose
popular nickname, Adam-es-Sani( Adam

of progeny he left, was responsible

seeghays-who appeared as pretenders
to the throne after the old mans de-
mise.
While, however, it cannot be denied
that women are still bought and sold
like cattle in the orient, it cannot
truthfully be maintained that they arc
inhumanly or cruelty treated. Quite
the reverse. The oriental is not cruc!
by nature, and the fact that the Koran
teaches him to look upon women as ir-
responsible beings, who must not be
taken too seriously, induces him like
wise to be very indulgent to them. for
