The sultan leads a very regular
life. He rises at five or six every
morning, and after walk in the spa
cious gardens of his palace he Is ready
for breakfast. which he generally eats
all alone. Osman Effendi, his special
secretary, tastes all food before the
sultan partakes OF it, and he is the
only one allowed to be present at the
morning meal of the Turkish sover-
eign. After breakfast the sultan
spends an hour or two in his libra

stocked with books and manuscripts
in all sorts of languages. among which
are thousands of works o. grea value
which have never seen the light of
