ROYALTY ON A WHEEL.

The latest recruit to the ranks of
royal bicyclers is the ameer of Afghan
istan. The sultan Of Turkey refuses
to try the democratic bike" although
his physicians have been extolling it's
merits to him for six months. A week
ly pilgrimage to the mosque, barely
quarter of mile from the palace, is
the sole exercise of the sultan during
these distressful days. Even then it
is by no means certain that his ma
Jesty does not travel more in the i'm
agination of his subjects than in fact,
for Abdul has adopted the trick that
Napoleon III. found to answer so well.
He has discovered a man who looks
exactly like him, and who attends
most, if not all, Of the public functions.
The people imagine that they are gaz-
ing on the sultan going to his devotion,
while in reality Abdul is at home in
the Yildiz. If the double should be
on one of these devotional
the Turks would not be
shocked at Abdul for Sinking his
prayers. They would regard it as a
preservation.

and industry will make an exposition
Of their resources to show the nation 5
recent progress.
The Austrians are naturally taking
as much interest in the exposition as
the Hungarians, as the history and
progress Of the one are closely allied
with the other. The Emperor Francis
Joseph has taken a lively interest in
the matter, and he will be the chief
exhibitor in the historical section. EN-
peror William of Germany will also be
an extensive exhibitor, as the reigning
Austrian family is descended from
Count Rudolf of Hapsburg, who was
elected Emperor of Germany in 1876.
There are scores OF archdukes in Aus
tria and Hungary, and all of them
have arranged to take some part in the
exposition. Many Of them have had
separate pavilions erected in the ex-
hibition grounds for the display of
their treasures, the most handsome Of
these structures being the pavilion of
the Archduke Joseph.
To those interested in the way the
warriors of old carried on their war
fare the exposition will have a peculiar
interest. Armor and other implements
of warfare used by the brave Magyars
who comprised the army of the inVad-
ing Prince Arfad, when he defeated
Zvatopluk, king of the SIavs, will be
shown.
Later on Arfad, whose fame as a
warrior made his will the law even
outside Of his own domain, purchased |
vast areas Of land, the nominal price
being seven white stations. All the
stations in the worldwide, brown,
black and of every other color-Would
not buy one hundredth part of that
territory today.
1t will be graphically shown how the
hardy Mortimer of Europe overran

vide open with the ravages of mer-
3enary warfare.

All the Changes in the Social, Martial,
Religious and Political Ways OF
the People to be Realistically Rep
resented-An Old Nation.

1t is not an everyday occurrence for
sary exposition, but that is what the
people of Hungary will celebrate at
Budapest on May next. Just 1000
years ago, in the year $50, the great
Prince Arfad founded the country by
invading it.
What the country was 1000 years ago
and what it was at each epoch Of It's
growth and progression during all the
centuries up to the present time viii
be faithfully portrayed Naturally the
exposition will be largely of al histor-
ical character, and in this respect It
promises to be the finest and most
complete thing of its kind that tie
world has ever seen, as the mOnarchs
of all the European nations will throw
open the doors of their treasure vaults
and send to the exhibition the histor-
ical relies of the past ages. Thus there
will be a concentration in one small
space of the priceless treasures of an
tiquity which many tourists have
made the circle of Europe to see.
The exposition will be divided into
two huge departments, one being called
the historical section and the other the
modern times section. The first de
scribes itself. In the second will be
shown the moral and intellectual pro
gress of the Hungarian people The
army and navy and all the other de-
partments of the government will eI-
hibit their resources, and the life Of the
remote villages will be graphically re-

An historical fact of considerable in
terest is that the exposition will be
held on the same ground where thou
sand years ago the Magyar parliament
met. The site is part of Budapest's
city park land and lies just east of the
city proper. The exposition grounds
cover an area of 100000 square feet.
and will contain 169 buildings and
pavilions, erected at cost of 10 ,O00, 900
forms, or S4,000,000.
Another feature of more than usual
note is that the new house Of the Hun
garian parliament will be opened. 1t
has cost 100000 forms (S6, 400 ,0O0)
and taken twelve years to build. Five
hundred new primary and technical
schools in various parts of the country
will be opened, and the Iron Gate"
which, like He'll Gate in East river. n.
Y, has always been a menace to the
navigation of the lower Danube, will
be dedicated. This vast enterprise was
commenced by Count Szechenyi and
finished by Hungarian engineering
skill and capital.
Many of the exposition buildings will
be permanent, also a grand triumphal
arch which has been erected in the
city. On it have been placed statues
Of the men who figured prominently in
the affairs of Hungary during the past
ten years. Scores of patriotic memoir
ials will be dedicated in the form of
columns and tablets erected at the
seven points in and around the city oc-
cupied by the horsemen Of Arfad when
he made his great conquering on
