A SULTAN'S SEVEN BEDS. Piles Defy the Knife Abdul Hamld Changed Hli Sleeping Place Every Night. An Interesting reminiscences of Ab dul Hnuild, the former sultan of Tur key, who wns known ns Abdul the Accursed nnd by ho vera I oilier moru or less unnlensnnt titles, la Riven In the deacrlntlon of n visit to YI1dU Kiosk by Colonel (Count) (llelchen In the Household ilrli?rulo Miigtixliiu. "l'lio houso was u perfect labyrinth of smnll rooms," be writes. "In no fewer (ban seven of these rooms wero beds on which the sultan used to sleep not ordinary beds, but litrco couches, sloplim at n considerable uti- rIo from tho head onil downward, so that, covered with n nullt or two. his majesty could sleep In n Bonil-upriBlit condition nnd sprint; up at a moment's notlco to bo ready for nnytliliig. "No ono knew In which of tho seven rooms tho sullnn was going to sleep. for ho changed his lostlng place every night for fear of hidden dangers. Along tho main passage which led unst many of these rooms a most In genious arrangement existed for glv lug warning of the approach of any ono. Tho tloor wns composed of loose plankH under the carpet, so that mere ly to walk along It sinned n Hanking sound which must Invariably have waked n light and nervous Hleeper OYSTER ISLANDS. Their Qrowth li Exactly Analogous to That of Coral Reefs. Oyster Islands similar to those form ed of coral are found In several purls of tho world. The Islands In Newport river nnd lleaufort harbor. North Car- ollnu, snys a writer In tho Century I'nth Magazine, havo been discovered to have ns base n reef to which the spnwu were attached nnd above this Inycr upon layer of oysters, vegetable growth and debris brought by tlie ac tion of the waves mid winds, nil of which llnnllv grows high enough to rise above tho surfnee of the water This crowlh Is exactly analogous to that of the coral Islands of the I'acllle The Islands near the inuitlh of the river Tngus.

As In the case of the coral reefs, which on the seaward side tuny bo covered with living, growing corn I, llvo oysters thrive In tho same waters where tho accumulation of dend generations has served to form tho Islands. The cause of their formation still remains.
