Vast Stores of Treasure.

II is believed that in certain vaults
at Constantinople there lie many hid
den treasures of immense value be-
longing to the sultan OF Turkey.
A throne Of beaten gold, adorned
with quantities of rubies, pearls, dia-
monds and emeralds set in mosaic, is
perhaps the most dazzling object In
the treasury Selim the First brought
II from Persia early in the sixteenth
century. There is second throne or
ebony and sandalwood, encrusted with
mother-of-pearl, gold, rubies, emer-
aids and sapphires.
Nowhere in the world are there pre-
cious stones to compare with the two
great emeralds found here, one OF
which weighs two Kilograms, and Is as
large as a mans hari. The other is
only slightly smaller.
There are diamonds, turquoises, ru-
bies, emeralds, and pearls by the
half bushel. Formerly the jewels
were kept In drawers, but when last
seen they were in bowls, each Of which
held two gallons.
In describing a luncheon that she
attended in the harem Of the present
sultan, Miss Grace Ellison, author OF
IAN Englishwoman in a Turkish Ha-
rem," tells Of diamond flowers that
stretched from shoulder to shoulder OF
the high controller OF the harem, and
of earrings made in the shape OF
birds, holding in their beaks a pearl
as large as a cherry. The sultan's
granddaughter, child Of twelve years
Of age, she pictures as having her hair
in knot on top OF her head inside a
diamond crown, the front of her dress
covered with diamonds, and her hands
encased in gold mittens studded with
rubies and diamonds.

Black Hearta.

Father VAS q great lover Of fruit,
and found both profit AMI pleasure
in his orchard. He delighted to walk
about among the trees, examining
them, watching their growth, and
guarding hem against accident and
disease.
He would usually take Q walk in the
morning before breakfast, when the
weather was At, to the other side OF
the orchard and back. One morning
in the spring he was gone longer than
usual, and when he came in To the
breakfast table he had in his hands
two or three small branches that he
had broken of from peach trees
There had been a frost and he was
| anxious 10 find out whether the fruit
had been hurt
When he had finished eating, he
picked up the branches from the table
and, looking round the circle, asked
what we thought about the prospects
for fruit that summer. The petals
had fallen from the blossoms, for
they had been out some time, and, as
we took them in our hands in turn
and examined them, we all agreed that,
although the blossoms looked dead TO
us, we did not know whether they
were or not.
| At that he said, "Wc.l, will tell
you that about third of the blossoms
are dead. Can you pick out the dead
ones ?"
We looked again, but could see no
difference.
Neither can l. lac SAID. "iust by
looking at them that way"
Then he broke Off dozen blossoms
/ from different twigs, and, taking his
penknife, he divided each blossom in
half and passed them round the circle
on plate for us to examine again.
Some have little black spot in the
CENTRE" he said. 1.-The rest are green
and fresh looking. The ones with the
black hearts are dead. They would
never have made fruit; in few days
they would have fallen from the trees
The frost killed them the other night"
And as the plate went on round the
breakfast table, he left off talking of
peach blossoms and talked Of the
hearts of people. He showed us how
much alike they were, and how the
frost of sin comes and the life within
is spoiled. He showed us how hearts
are turned black and the possibilities
of a whole lifetime are spoiled.
"You cannot always tell" he said,
'by looking at a PERSONS face what
sort of heart he has. II the sin has
been going on long enough, then it may
show, but at first it usually does not.
And we cannot take knife and 60 in
to the hearts Of folks, as have done
with the peach blossoms. For that
reason many black hearts keep their
places among the good ones, and no
one knows the difference for a while.
But the Great Husbandman knows
what is inside, just as He knew that
cup polished on the outside did not
always mean clean cup. Whitewash-
ed tombstones did not hide from his
eyes what the graves contained. God
has put the possibility Of a fruitful
life within every one Of us. Let us
not allow the frost OF sin to enter, for
we cannot hide black hearts from the
Master, even though men may be de-
ceived. And we cannot make black
hearts bear fruit"
