i've years olo, eating from the time of
the Sultan Selim who, wishing to
abolish polygamy. had but one wife;
but the high dign itaries of Turkey de-
cided that the ancient laws should be
maintained
On the prophets birthday, begin
ming at sunset and lasting till sunrise,
q holiday is kept, on the 18th of RAM
azan, a national and religions feast,
and it is at this time the selection OF
maiden, out of the one hundred and
one who have en- tered the list, is
made.
The officials, who have the matter In
charge. rarely allow any of the poorer
classes to compete, and, accepting
brides. presents and promises of diplo-
matte aid, gather the young girls to-
gether and give them instructions re.
garding dress and the etiquette Of the
occasion. The dress consists of large
white linen sheet thrown over tha
shoulders in Roman fashion, sandalI
on their feet, hair hanging loosely,
and no gems or ornaments
On the important night the sultan
mounts fine horse and is accom-
panied by all of the palace ministers
of state, pashas and aides-de-camp in
their gala uniforms, representing all
the states over which the sultan wiel6s
his scepter. Military bands make loud
and wild music, and the hundreds and
hundreds of soldiers that line the
streets carry on their bayonets Chinese
L.
of their ruler.
At length the sultan arrives at tho
Suleimanich mosque overlooking the
holy carpet or prayer-rug. Here he
stands while sermon is preached &c
him, and then he goes to the great
square. This is crowded with persons
of distinction, and in the center IL
placed a pavilion of scarlet velvet
richly embroidered and decorated
with the sultan's monogram, the Off
C ial mblem of Turkey. These dra-
peries are festooned upon silver poles,
and within them now are seen the high
priest and the heir to the throne
Around this stand the one hundred
and one maidens, attired in the white
toga, each holding a towel in her
hand, and making a complete circle
around the sultan.
A prayer is made, the heir approaches
his father. and, kneeling, offers him
two pigeons. The sultan, kneeling
also, takes a knife from his belt, in
vokes the aid of the prophet in the Sc
lection of new wife, sacrifices, rises,
washes his hands in the golden basin
held by the priest, and dries them upon
the towel of the young girl he selects.
Fortunately for her comfort she has
nothing to do with housekeeping; for
the sultan's household, consisting of
STA thousand persons, requires no little
executive ability in running the ma
The treasurer of the house
held attends to this. Not less than ten
tons of fish are bought a week; eigh-
teen thousand pounds of bread are
eaten daily, baked in enormous ovens
near the palace; one ton Of ice is
bought every day for the inevitable
pilaff; six hundreo pounds of sugar,
one ton of beef, another of veal, to say
nothing of coffee. vegetables, fruit,
nuts and confectionery.

peuses amount to nearly forty-twG

GOOD NATURE.
When Genuine May Be Regarded a. .
Real Virtue.


To become a quality worthy of adj
miration. good nature should be associ-
ated with regard for justice and sense
of duty. When good nature is simlly a
dorm of weakness it finds expression in
kndnesses that work Injustice The
man who is free and generous with his
companions is called good-natured, but
his character appears somewhat differ

1owance is cut down that he NAV enjoy
his selfish pleasures. There in such a
thing as good nature, and II is a very
great virtue; but when il is worthy of
the name IL is coupled with considers-
ton for others, and is manifested in
such way as TO do no injustice to any
one. 1t is better, after all, TO be Just
than generous, unless we can make sure
that our generosity is founded upon
and supplementary TO justice. In the
social state men and women are bound
together By innuInerable ties, SO that
motin by an individual in one direc-
ton affects more or less the mass. II is
only with our surplus time or money
or other agency that we can play the
patt of a good-natured man without In
JUiously affecting those TO whom we
are bound. The good-natured young

Successful Woman Miner.

Out in Joplin, the center Of the great
lead and zinc regions Of Jasper and
Newton counties. Missouri, lives Mrs.
H. c. Cosgrove, one Of the most success
full dealers in mines and real estate in
the world, although she is tiny woman
with quiet and most winning ways.
Lately Mrs. Cosgrove has organized a
mining company composed entirely Of
women. It has a woman's name-the
Helen Mar Mining and Investment
Company" it is differed by women, all
its stock held by women and one Of the
mines on its extensive and valuable
possessions is called, 1.-THE New Wom-
en-" Men are allowed only in the hum
BILE capacity Of pick handlers. Further
more, it is said to be coming to the front
as a bonanza. While this idea Of a COM
pany solely composed Of women is a

woman receives $500 per week in roy
alties from her mines; she superintends

Cycling 52A Miles q Day.

It seems almost incredible that a
man should be able to cover q distance
of 524 miles in twenty-four consecutive
hours, furnishing all the motor power
himself, and yet that was what the
French bicyclist, Riviere, did at Bor-
deaux Tuesday. Applied in straight
line that days motion would have car
ried him from Chicago to the vicinity
of Cleveland. OF course, he made his
record on cement track, but it isn't
every one Of us that can do his twenty
two miles on track in an hour, not to
mention keeping it up for twenty-four.
The French, by the way, while they
don't keep with us in short-distance
riding, seem to have everything their
own way in the long ones, the Ameri-
can twenty-four-hour record being some
100 miles lower than theirs.

SUNLIGHT TO ORDER.
A Question Of Vibrations introduced ly
Prof. Tesla.

A Question Of Vibrations introduced ~
Prof. Tesla.
Tesla had two big undertakings on
hand when his laboratory caught fire
and was destroyed in New York. The
more important of these, from his point
of view, was the production of light by
the vibration of the atmosphere. Ac-
cording to the inventor, the light of the
sun is the result of vibrations in 81 ,000,-
900 miles of ether, which separates us
from the center of the solar system OF
which we are part. Tesla's idea is to
produce here on earth vibrations similar
to those which cause sunlight, and thus
give us light as intense as that of the
sun, with no danger of obstruction from
the clouds. The inventor had already
done something toward accomplishing
this end when the fire occurred. It is
subject up in way. To illustrate his
principle it is only necessary to take a
long bar of glass and note the bril-
liancy of the light it produces through
vibration alone. It is a prismatic ex-
pertinent, in general terms, applied to
electricity. Tesla can compute vibra
tons as readily as most people count
the wealth they would like to have. He
can tell you the number of vibrations
produced by fly in action and draw
interesting comparisons therefrom. For
example. this young man from Smiljan
will tell you that certain kind of fly
peculiar to the swamps of Central
American moves his wings $4,000 times
to the second. You may doubt the ac-
curacy of this statement in your own
mind, but if you hunger for details
Tesla will sit down and convince you
with figures adduced from a scientific
contemplation of the problem.
"Al I have to do" he said recently,
"is to duplicate the number of vibra-
tons required to light up the sun, and
the practicability of my theory will
have been demonstrated It is difficult
for me to give you an idea that you
will readily grasp about this question
of vibration. In ordinary life our
minds do not deal with the figures that
come up in such Investigations. have
come to the conclusion that the sun
light is produced by five hundred tril-
lion vibrations of the atmosphere per
second. In order to manufacture the
SAGE kind of light it will be necessary
to produce an equal number Of vibra-
lions by machinery. have succeeded
up to certain point, but am still al
work on the task"
