We are all liars-unless news
paper men be excepted. A woman
meets neighbor at the door whom
she despises, and overwhelms her
with expressions of delight at her
coming. She is lying. She paints
her face and goes upon the streets,
as much as to say: MY face is
rosy and bealthy.' She is lying.
She pads her form to deceive the
public eye. Her heart is sad and
she puts on a counterfeit smile, as
much as to say: I am as happy
as a calm" She is lying. The
merchant tells his customers his
wagons are the best in town. He
is liar-there are dozens of 9TH

er stacks his wood crisscross in
the bottom of the wagon bed and
lays it thick and close on top. He
is lying. The preacher buries an
old sinner, who is a servant of the
devil, and says: The Lord hath
given and the Lord hath taken
away" Heis a liar. The editor

hooked-nose bride. He is-honeAt-

In the beginning Of his ministry his
revelations were friendly 10 the Jews. whom
he at first attempted to ~conoiliate, but
when they rejected him he ave out other
revelations which treated the Jews with
great severity. He started out to rely upon
reason and an appeal to conscience, n
by persuasion he formed the nucleus OF
his Church, but as he grew stronger his
revelations became more wsrlike In tone,
and at last he committed the Almighty
TO relentless warfare against the infdel.

On many questions the advice which
he gave through the Koran was all that
could he desired. He urged Justice in

He condemned the use Of Intoxicating
liquor and gambling, saying: They will
ask thee concerning wine and lots; answer

Is greater than their use." Asto almsgiving

OF the court, closely yelled and accompanied

In closed carria ges drawn by beautiful
Arabian horses. As usual In Oriental
countries, the members Of the household
were attended by black eunuohs.
At the appointed hour q black robed
figure appeared upon the niinaret, and
an echolike call to prayer foated down
to the street. This was the signal for
which the spectators had waited, and ell
eyes turned at onces to the palace gate,
through which in double line marched
the high officials. preceded by a band ard
followed by the Sultan's bodyguard and
the Sultan himself In a carriage with his
Minister Of War. The officers saluted
the soldiers 'cheered, the visitors raised
their hats, and the Sultan bowed and smiled.
THE SULTAN MILD IN APPEARANCE.
Abdul Hamid is mild in appearance,
and his black beard is but slightly strea ked
with gray. He does not look strong, and
his figure seemed 'd%iminutive when .con-
trusted With that Of 'his Minister Of War.
His Imperial Majesty. as he is styled,
remained in the mosque Tor nearly naf
an hour. When he at last came out he
entered q phaeton with his eldest son, and,
taking the lines. himself. drove back to
the palace behind otie of the h~andsomest
beams In Europe. 3
The horses are a very dark, almost black,
d&bpled chestnut sorrel, with silver names
and tails. They are perfectly matched

We obtained permission to visit the Sui

more than a thousand horses. The finest,
Of course, are the Arabian stations, Of which
he has quite a number. the best OF the breed.
In ono room We saw a hundred or moro
saddies and brides, many Of them richly
