KHEDIVE AS A FAMILY MANI

Excepting His Opposition to the
Harem, Is q Pfous Mohamm edan.
In the middle of the day the ruler
Of Egypt lunches with the only woman
who has ever sustained to him the re-
lation OF wife, the Paris Figaro says.
His highness could, were he 30 in
clined, allow himself the complement
of four wives affected by the pious ef-
fendi of the land. He has none the
less remained strictly homogeneous.
The one wife dwells In strict seclu-
sion on the khedivial domain OF Keub-
beh except for occasional visits to the
great Abdin palace at Cairo. She Is
Greek with Circassian blood, some five
years younger than the khedive-he is
nearing 40-and exquisitely beautiful.
1t does not appear that any European
or American of the male sex ever
gazed upon the features of this lady.
She Is the mother of six children, nvs
girls and a boy. The latter Is now
about 10 years of age, and, unlike the
eldest born of Mohammedan rulers
generally, he is to inherit his fathers
throne. This young prince heritor,"
~ he is officially styled, quite over
shadows his sisters in Importance. The
lad Is understood to resemble his moth.
er In the fairness of his skin, the slen.
derness of his frame and the tallness
of his form.
AS family man the khedive sets an
example which the Christian father,
as our French contemporary observes,
might emulate with profit. The girls
study English, French, Arabic and
Turkish with the idea, 1t is said, of fit
ting them for the position of monoga-
nous wives. Abbas Hilmi seems to
have set his face firmly against that
plurality of wives which is the vogue
among the Weather Of his subjects.
He will not allow a daughter of his
to become the inmate of what Is com
monty understood by the term harem.
| In all respects but this he has long
| been famed as the most Mohamme-
danly pious of potentates, for his ORR
sons are performed with infinite fer
vor and an undertaking regularity. The
| five daughters receive from their moth
er training which, from the point OF
view of the Mohammedan faith, is or
thodox enough, but their father de-
viates markedly from Mohammedan
ideals in his relations with his son.
This boy is to be brought up with the
dynastic conception strongly defined in
his education. He will be the first
scion OF Mohammedan royalty to In
herit throne upon the formally recog.
nized principle of primogeniture alone

This Is a disease, or rather q symp
tom, occurring IN man. which Is some

legs. sometimes shooting from hip ts

direct result OF the weakness and stifr
ness and pain. When these subside ~
the result of rest, which they always
seem to do, then for = time there ID
no limp, and hence the name Inter
mittent limping."
When the symptoms are at theii
height there is great deal of conges
ton, the veins are distended with
blood, the leg, and especially the foot
looks dark, and there may be an out
break of little red spots on the skin.
In conjunction with these symptoms
Ia found another which is very signiff
cant. No pulse can be felt In the
back artery of the foot, showing that
the arterial circulation is at fault. I'm,
less properly treated, this trouble may

! to grave results. A condition OF mus
cular atrophy may set in, with con-
advanced stages dry gangrene may de-
velop, which calls for surgical inter.
vention.
This trouble is believed to be caused
by an insufficient supply Of blood ia
the affected part. 1t is thought that
the reason why the symptoms are not
noticed, or rather are not present, dur
ing rest, is that then the blood-supply
is sufficient for the small demand, but
that as soon as the sufferer demands
from his limb any work at all 1t 70
quires more nourishment.
This disease may persist for years
and the treatment is that of meeting
the symptoms as they arise. Com
