The SuItan's Pleasant Ways.


From the New York Press.
The Khedive Of Egypt. having gone on a
visit to the sultan, has telegraphed his
ADVISERS" In Cairo that he proposes to
spend the entire summer on the banks OF
the Bosphorus-an arrangement which is
not pleasing to his guardians. the British,
who had intended that he should make
tour Of Europe. It will not do for the khe-
dive and his suzerain, the sultan, to get
too thick" The khedive's mother, widow
of the Khedive Tewfik. is building great
palace on the shores Of the Bosphorus, but
1t Is not yet ready, for occupancy, SO the
khedive is the guest of the sultan.
The sultan asked the khedtve, with true
oriental politeness. to select any place ne
might fancy for residence and 1t should
be prepared for him. The Egyptian ruler
chose a quiet little village on the Asfatlc
shore Of the Bosphorus. Now II happened
to be one of the few-the very feW-places
In the neighborhood of Gonstant1nople In
which the sultan didn net.pWn property.
But courteous ''iradesowsas sent to each

also sent to the owners, and 5they departed
from their homes, not TO see the inside OF
them again until the khedfve shall return
to Egypt. The tenants So uqceremoniousiy
evicted from their own houses grumbied
little, but as much gRqmbling affects the
nerves of the sultan. and when he gets
nervous all sorts OF unpleasant things are
likely to happen, they soon ceased their

THE ALASkANy.
Some Characterisfics of the Fal
Northern Race.

i
From the Era.
The Alaskan Eskimos are highly intelli-
gent, Industrious moral and honest accord
ing to their standards in such matters,
which differs somewhat from our own.
They are strictly truthful of kindly. cheer
full disposition and exceedingly gentle, pa
tient and tactfui in their manners. In IL
lustration of their intelligence, it was in
teresting to note that while their language
embraced but q few hundred words. as
against our Overwhelming vocabulary, they
and not we made all the advance, evincing
the keenest interest In the acquisition of
the white mans tongue. In voicing their
proficiency in this direction it was not un-
common for some of the more sensitive
among us to be shocked upon being saluted
by some precociouS maiden with a string
of oaths strangely intoned, culled for our
edihcation from the explosive speech IN
general use among the representatives. OF
a higher moral development. The natives
soon learned such tunes and songs as were
whistied or sung in their hearing. These
they reproduced with considerable ac-
curacy. words and all. The words Were.
however, generally sounds phonetically
similar to those heard and were some
times, in fact quite amusing. This sud
den musical development seemed remark
able, considering that their natural at
tempts include only monotonous dronings,
ACCOMPANIED sometimes by an unmeasured
inane drumming on a sort of tambourine.
There are many artists among them whose
carvings and etchings on ivory are Of high
excellence.
There is marked difference in the
adaptability to Caucasian customs between
the men and women Of this race. The
men are much keener In anticipating what
is likely to meet with white favor, and
lose no time in at least concealing habits
and inclinations that are seen to be OBJ
jectionable, while the women make but
little progress in this direction. The con-
trast Is best shown at the white mans
table, one or two meals sufacing to pre-
vent any painful exhibitions from the men,
whereas with the women no Improvement
is to be observed. With either sex, at
such times, the unseifish solicitude for
their absent friends is sure to evince it
self in their setting aside the choicest
falling, however, to ask leave to do SO.
