THE SULTAN'S FAMILY.

1t is Large, and there are Frequent
Changes in It's Personnel-More
Than 600 Lovely Pictures.
A gentleman who has lived in Con-
stantinople says:
"The harem Of the present sultan is
a museum Of living pictures, A fine col
lection OF every nationality. n regular
fair Of the fair sex. He has over six
hundred wives and concubines. beside
a number Of female servants and play
mates. All are intrusted TO the care Of
the aga, the chief eunuch. In the book
of Esther he is termed the Heiga) Ths
Cnly legitimate wife is she who marries
him first.
"Those who come afterward are
merely concubines and fayOrites The
advantages and superiority Of the first
wife lie only in the fact that her chill
dren are recognized as fit for the
throne, otherwise she Is subjected TO
the regular harem discipline, like the
rest. More often than not the sultan
pays greater attention to one Of his IA
vorites than TO her.
But these fayors are as changeable
as the weather. To-day il Is Zuleika,
tomorrow it is Fatima. The harem
gets every year an additional living
ornan mt donated by the nation,
through a strange religious custom.
"Ramadan is the period Of the year
corresponding to the Christian Lent,
and during that month the Moslem alb
stains from food, drinking, and even
from smoking. devOting himself to fast
ing and religious exercises. At the end
of Ramadan the Moslem world cele-
brates the three days feast known as
the 'Kurban Beiram' 0he sacrifice of
Abraham.
THE first night of that great feast
an illumination takes place and the ma
tion donates to the sultan gift as a to-
Yen Of lOyalty-a tribute In the shape
of a handsome virgin. So it goes on
year after year.
"The harem life would be rearded by
western women as very monotonous,
but to these orientals. who are brought
I'D from infancy in its seclusiOn and
isolation, it has plenty Of variety. There
is plenty Of music and dancing. sweet
candies, cakes and pies, aromatic coffee
to sip, and fine stories to listen to.
Besides. there prevails an ambition
among the inmates which keeps them
all the time in certain activity; the
ambition TO appear handsomer than
their rivals. What becomes of thesa
houris? They also serve a state pu,v
pose. The sultan, in his generosity.
when he decorates a high official as
token Of recognition for his services,
often adds a living picture from tha
royal harem. .'-Chicago Record.
