The Sultan's Kiosks.

In every city of the Ottoman empire
there is kiosk set apart for the
sultan, who never even sees il.
These palatial 'abodes are built Of
rare marbles and finished in fine
woods, enameled in silver and gold,
with mirrors and lusters from Vienna,
mosaics from Florence and Rome, and
are nominally guarded by major domos,
who live there in royal ease and lux
ury unparalleled. Hundreds Of mil
lions Of francs are thus squandered,
while not a sou is spent in making
roads, fertiIizing valleys or construct
ing ports.
