prolific animals and are easily raised, the
business OF rearing them, although not OF q
very attractive nature, should prove profit

cents to 81 30, and the oil commands a good
price and is much used for medicinal pur-
poses.

MISCELLANY.
How the Sultan Chooses a Wife.

1t Ii not generally known that tho sui
tan is obliged to marry many women
against his will, vet this is true. Tho law
of Turkey forces him to take new wife
every gear. This law Is about 10 years
old, dating from the time of the Sultan
Selim, who, wishing to abolish polygamy,
bad but one wife, but the high dignitaries
of Turkey decided that the ancient laws
should be maintained.
On the prophets birthday, beginning at
sunset and lasting till sunrise, holiday
is kept, on the 18th of Ramazan, a nation
al and religious feast, and it is at this time
the selection of a maiden, out of the 101
who have entered the lists, is made.
The officials who have the matter in
charge rarely allow any of tho poorer
classes to compete, and, accepting brides,
presents and promises of diplomatic aid,
gather the young girls together and give
them instructions regarding dress and the
etiquette of the occasion. The dress CON
sists of n large white linen sheet thrown
over the shoulders in Roman fashion, san
dals on the feet, hair hanging loosely, and
no gems or ornaments.
On the important night the snltnn
mounts a fine horse and is accompanied by
all of the palace ministers of state. pashas
and aids de-camp In their gala uniforms,
representing all the states over which the
sultan yields his scepter. Military bands
make loud and wild music, and the hun
dreds and hundreds OF soldiers which line
the streets carry on their bayonets Chinese
lanterns to illuminate the procession of
their ruler.
AT length the sultan arrives at the
Suleimanic mosque, overlooking the Gold
en- Horn, and is conducted to the holy
carpet, or prayer rug. Here he stands
while a sermon Is preached to him, and
then he goes to the great square. This Is
crowded with persons Of distinction, and
In the center is placed a pavilion of scarlet
velvet, richly embroidered and decorated
with the sultan's monogram, the official
emblem of Turkey. These draperies are
festooned upon silver poles, and within
them now are seen the high priest and the
heir to the throne. Around this stand the
lOl maidens, attired In the white toga,
each holding towel In her hand and
making complete circle around the sui
tan.
prayer Is made, the heir approaches
his father, and kneeling, offers him two
pigeons. The sultan, kneeling also, takes
a knife from his belt, invokes the aid Of
the prophet In the selection of new wife,
sacrifices rises, washes his hands In a
golden BASIN held by the priest, and dries
them upon the towel Of the young girl he
selects. Washington Times.

body Is only fve feet six inches. The teeth
Of the Frenchmail were filed with q COM

WANT PAY In CASH.
Shipwrights and Iaborers Refuse to
Accept Checks and Quit Work.

BAY CITY. Mich, March 2s.-The an
nouncement that the ship building firm of
F. w. Wheeler e. Co. intended to adopt the
check system OF paying their employees has
brought about serious lockout of some
1.40O men. This morning all the filters and
riveting gangs refused to go to work and
also induced many of the laborers and
some OF the machine men to quit. A meet
ing of the union men was held and they
voted not to accept checks. About the same
time the company directed the men remain
ing in tho yard to stop work and notices
were posted that there would be no work
until further notice The men had several
secret meetings during the day and re-
solved not to return until the company
agreed to pay in cash. The firm declined a
conference and a majority of the men ac-
oepted checks for their pay. Some received
cash and two hundred others decided they
would accept nothing but cash. The mer-
chants made arrangements to cash the
checks and some OF the men thereupon al
legged that the merchants were in league
with the bosses and boycott was declared
against them. The firm gave as their rea-
son for adopting the system the inconven-
ience and danger OF transporting 10000
every nav day.
