THE SULTAN'S HEIR.
He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
Seen In Public,

He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
Seen In Public.
The sultan's heir Is not his eldest
son, but his eldest BROTHER according
to the London Echo. The eldest male
succeeds. Such is the law Of Islam and
the fruitful source of dynastic murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became power. The sultan has four
.brofhers-not one only, as was lately
alleged. This eldest brother is Rechad
Effendi-that is to say, he is eldest aft
er the ex-sultan, Murad V, who, being
insane, is not counted. The third broth
er is Waredin, and the fourth SULLIVAN.
The sultan's eldest son, Prince Sellm,
has no earthly chance of succeeding his
father He has too many uncles and
uncle's sons for that. But Prince Selim
is lucky, if he knows it, for he is not
dangerous He lives a life of freedom.
whereas the heir is, by the custom OF
the Ottomans, kind of life prisoner.
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
| time he drives ont he is escorted by a
troop, less by way Of an escort than as
a guard. The few who do know him
like him, for he is said to be a cour-
teous, humane, we'll informed man, ac-
ouainted with current politics and keen
" interested in them. He is good
farmer The pretty palace known as the
| Tcheraean is his residence. or course
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted and when they are
leaving by the sultan's officials. Dur
ing times of trouble in Armenia, Con
stantinople and Crete Rechad is more
narrowly watched than ever, for tai
sultan and his clique know that Reohat
is popular. Unlike the sultan, Rechad Il

A we'll known professor is noted for
his absen tmindedness. He and friend,
another old professor, used to take
daily walk together and discuss matters
quite beyond the comprehension of ord1-
nary mortals.
One day when the walking was very
bad professor No. was ON his way to
the corner at which he and his friend
always met when he encountered a
young student whose face he recognized
dimly, having seen it every day for
some weeks in his morning class. He
accordingly hailed his pupil, who was
wading through the mud to get across
the street.
"Have you seen my friendf" he asked.

An EXTRAORDINARY Migration.

One Of the greatest mysteries to solen-
lists, one for which there seems to be
no reasonable explanation, is that con-
corning the migration of the lemmlng'
or Norway rat. Instead of taking place
once year these migrations occur only
once in every II years. When the time
comes for the exodus, the little animals
journey westward from Scandinavia,
allowing nothing to stop their move
ments, which virtually amount to a
headlong flight. They swim the lakes
ard rivers and climb the highest noun
taius in inoalculable numbers, deyastat-
ing the whole country through which
they travel. Naturalists attribute the
movement to some inherited memory OF
fight to escape an expected oataciysm'
but this seems somewhat farfetched.-
