Turkey. has a harem which comprises
no less than 5000 women, among whom
blondes predomlnate TO very consid-
cradle extent. the padishah manifesting
a very marked preference for damsels
with fair hair and blue eyes. SO thor

tan known that his mother and his

PEELED by etiquette each one Of them to

sian blonde for the purpose, purchasing
her In the slave market, which, In spite
OF all that Is said to the contrary, still
exists In Constantinople, for prices
ranging all the way from $1,000 TO
$4,000. says the Chattanooga NeHl.
The sultan only keeps these odallsquls
for any length OF time II they bear him
children. Otherwise he gives them
away TO his officials and dlgnitaries,
the presentation being regarded as a
signal honor which Is. moreover. in
yariably accompanied by a gift OF
money to serve as a species Of dowry.
A feature which has never been
touched upon in connection with
the reigning family OF Turkey Is
the infanticide. True. none OF the sui
tan's own offspring are killed, but the
children OF his male relatives are pitl-
lessly strangled soon after their birth.
TO such an extent has this practice
been In vogue In Constantinople that
the father Of the present sultan was
the first ruler OF the Ottoman empire
who ever had any children living at
the time Of his accession 10 the throne.

Many People Arc In Doubt when TN
Twentieth Century Beelns.


A good many men are trying to AZ.
ure out jus, when the twentieth cen
tury begins. They are ightlag about
a whole year, says the New York Jour
nal. Some men say the twentieth cen-
fury begins on the FIRST day OF 1900.
and others Insist that Il does not COM
mence until the first day OF 1901. Usu-
ally upon the first day Of new year.
there Is a large number Of men who
are strangely mixed in their figures
These are the people who sit up so
religiously the night before to see the
new year in" that the following day
they are all at sea in regard to their
dates. It may be stated right here
that they are all going to SIT up to see
the new century in on the last night
Of 1899 and hope to have an opportuni-
ty Of welcoming the same century IN
the same way year later. In order
to be sure Of being right they are going
to drink copiously upon both occasions.
These thirsty souls hope that the pres
ent controversy will not be settled be-
fore the twentieth century arrives. and
even find comfort in the figures Of a
man which introduce an altogether dit
ferent date and would provide occa-
sion for third welcoming celebration.
Unfortunately there is a lack OF testi-
mony on the part Of gentlemen whe
lived In the year 1 as to whether or not
chronologlsts at that time had any
agreement as to what they were going
to do about the extra year. II the
FIRST century ended with the close OF the
year 90 then It was a year short. II
It ended with the last day Of the year
100 then the second century began on

PAST GREAT FAMINEs.
Terrible Nisitations OF Distress During
the Worlds History.

Terrible NisitatiOns OF Distress During
the Worlds History.
IL must not be supposed that the
famine which is now devastating Ind.a,
horrible as II is, is unique in the
worlds history. The annals OF ma
tons give authentic record OF not less
than $50 famines, dating from script
ural times down 10 the present. says
Frank Leslie's Weekly Famine and
pestilenoe have always gone hand In
hand, the one causing the other, and
vermin and filth have always been
among the chief causes. SO recently
as 1855 there came a great plague Of
locuDts In Utah and only the appear
ance OF seagulls, never before seen so
far inland. prevented the total destruc-
tion Of the crops and consequent
famine. Besides insects and vermin
there may be other causes OF famine,
some natural. some artificial. Among
these are rain, frost, drorght and other
meteorological phenomena, war, de-
fective agriculture, defective transpor-
tation. legislative interference. cur
rency restrictions, speculation and the
misapplieation Of grain. In connee-
tion with this last-named cause II may
be said that. although India has been
cursed with famine more than any
other country, having had thirty-four
within the country, as a whole country
Il always produces food enough for all
Of its inhabitants and even In years
OF famine there are regions Of plenty
sufficient 10 feed the starving if only
the grain could be brought 10 them
Il Is natural therefore. 70 suppose that
the causes Of Indian falnines are quite
as much artificial as natural ana that
legislative foresight coula do much 10
