THE SULTAN AND HIS CHURCH.

Though Of a naturally suspicious nature, that
the Sultan finds himself after all these years Of
reign practically dependent on his own private
judgment for everything in his empire, domestic
or foreign. is not his fault; and that he meets
mine with countermine, that his capital and his
empire throughout is permeated with spies is
only natural. Probably, in no country, except
Prussia Is IL less safe 10 vent ones opinions on
politics or to touch on the sacred person Of the
ruler. Further, il would be simply absurd for
the Sultan to suppose he could get dsinterested
advice from any foreign representatives in his
capital. Every one of them has his own. his
country's, axe to grind, and his preoccupation
in Turkey is how to score off, some rival

nOnsensical.
Therefore, the question which arises in ones
mind one cOntemplates the peculiarly dan
geIous and uncertain position which the Sultan
stil maintains, is, What is this hidden strength
playing one power off against another that
keeps him on his throne?
The answer is that the Sultan is a deeply

Of the word a man convinced that Caliph
he is the representative and servant Of Allah
must restore all the might and all the dOmin-
ions Of his great predecessors. II is inmate
rial that he shares this belief of his personal
connection with God with two or three other
men-the Pope. William Of Germany and the
Car. He is the actual, autOcratic and ire
spOnSible Caliph, long he Obeys the laws
OF the Prophet and the orthodox Mahometan
traditions of the Prophets sayings and opin-
ions, known as the Multeka. II is said 10y the
GlCma, the most eXacting and conservative of
all religious bodies under the sun, that the Sui
tan has never diverged a hairs breadth from

WHATS IN A COVER DESIGN?

The success Of the siXpenny novelist depends
much on the artist who designs the cover For
example on a work by Mr. Anthony Hope we
see on the cover a man firing a revolver at an
other man in evening dress in the open air At
the shooters feet is a lady lying fiat apparently
eead; the man fires from her a bowler bowls
from a crease while just in front of the hero,
who is being shot at, stands another lady in an
attitude Of excitement. The whole suggests
some new kind of duel, and the hestating
purchaser cannot but pay his siXpence, out of
sheer curiosity as TO how the duel is mana ged
and TO what the ladies have to make in the
matter. But the end hardly justifies the pro-
oeedinSs; the tale is not Mr.. Hopes master
piece.-(Andrew Lang, in Longman's Magazine.
