Hie Sultan's Wives. It does miot appear to be generally known that the Saltan is obliged to marry many women against his will; yet suckis the case, and at least once in each year, whether His Majesty be yonng or old, sick or well, does the law of the country oblige him to marry. This law has not always been in force, but was in troduced by "the Sheikul-Islam, or head of the church, about tGO years ago, to force Sultan Selim, who, wishing to abolish polygamy, kept one wife only, to mainta'n and uphold the ancient and au thorized customs. The ceremony or the Caliph's marriage is so important an erent that a description of it will be in teresting. The Prophet's birthday, or rather birth-night, as the Moslems call it, is a festival commencing at sunset of the eighteenth day of Kamazau, end end- . ing at sunrise the following morning, thus making it a purely night holiday. It is, after the holiday of the Courban Bairam, -which took place only a few days ago, and at which General Wallace, United States Minister to Turkey, assisted, the greatest 5 Mohammedan festivities. Besides being a religious holiday, it is a national one also, as on this very night Constantinople was taken by the Turks, after a seige which lasted many years, during which not a few of the Faithful were sent to El Wady, or Paradise. Constantinople dur ing this night, which the Turks have named Kadir Gegessi, presents and ap pearance which can no where be excelled, as, although Europeans may invent all sorts of artificial means of illnminatien, there is no spot on the face of the earth which presents such natural beauty, and the innate taste of the splendid and mag nificent for which Orientals are famed, is fully appreciated in the birthnight of the Prophet. The mode of illuminating is in itself exceedingly simple, consisting of small lamps filled with water of many colors, at the tou of which oil is burned. Mil lions of them are used on all the public buildings, and, indeed, on every build- inn, rich or poor, in the town. The bridges over the Golden Horn are studded with lights, and so are all the ships and men-of-war, both in the inner and outer harbor. The most beautiful, however, of all are on the thousands of mosques, whose minarets have the ap pearance of enormous flaming spears, and, as the city is built on seven hills, the whole presents an appearance not easy to be forgotten, t or many days previous to the ceremony, the palace officials are busily engaged in selecting the girls, -who will be allowed to be present on the evening of the Kadir Gegessi, and from whom His Majesty will select one as his wife. Singular as it may appear to Americans, there is hardly a Mohammedan family which does not do its best to get its daughter into the harem, although they know full well that it is already adorned with some hundreds of wives or slaves of great beauty and from all countries. The present Sultan has in his harem Alban ians, Circassians, Armenians, Afghans, Turks, Greeks, Georgians, Tartars, and every other nationality of women,- manv being wives, while the majority are either bought slaves, women who have been sent as presents to the Sultan, or volun teer slaves, the latter entering the harem of their own free will. It is and ever has been the ambition of every father and mother to get their daughters into the imperial harem, and for this purpose the moment a girl attains the age of four teen or fifteen, and is good-looking, her parents spare no efforts to get her in troduced to His Majesty or to some of his favorites who, for a consideration, mention tlie girl to tneir master, borne of the most beautiful women of the em pire can be seen always hanging about the entrances of the palace or the 1m perial mosque and other resorts of the sultan, in order to find an opportunity of showing him their prettv faces. Neither the age, disposition nor health of the sovereign is considered by the parents. He may be as ugly, cruel, in firm and old as possible all that they wisn lor is tnat tney may Decome re lated to the throne; besides which, dur ing the short time that their daughter may be a harem favorite they will be the most noted people in the empire, re ceiving honors, titles, decorations and high appointments, not only for them selves but for their parties also, for which, of course, thev get well paid. The original custom was that girls of all ranks and conditions of society should take their chances on the birth night of the Prophet; but now so much influence, both political and financial, is brought to bear on the officials selecting the maidens that few, if any, of the pooler classes are ever permitted to enter the lists. These officials accept bribes and presents from the parents and guar dians, and make decent fortunes every year at the time of the selection. To ward the close of the reign of the Sultan Aboul Med j id that monarch one night refused to select a wife from among those who were presented to him, and breaking through the ring, selected a poor girl who was standing in the crowd selling flowers, to the astonishment of the pishas and the beys present. For several years after this the officials con scientiously did their duty, selecting the prettiest girls, irrespective of the posi tions or influence of their parents; now, however, bribery and corruption will open the door to a rich girl, to the detri ment of the poor one, who may be ever so much more beautiful than the favored one. The- number of maidens allowed to compete is 101, and when the selection is complete, invitations, or rather imper ial commands are issued for them to at tend, with instructions as to dress. The dress consists of a large, white linen sheet, thrown over the shoulders in Roman fashion, and sandals to the feet. All the maidens have to dress alike, leav ing thier hair hanging, and no gems or ornaments of any description are per mitted. A wedding at Trinity Church, New port, last week, waa marked by a sensa tional incident. When the clergyman pronounced to the bride the "love, uonor ana ouoy question, no answer was forthcoming. The question was re peated a second and a third time with no reply. The clergyman whispered audi bly and with earnestness: "But you must answer," and then, when asked the question for the fourth time, there came he "I will." A beautiful tube rose with a stalk six feet high, is the property of A. It. Lutz of Lancaster, Pa. Pretty Halt. i Appreciating the peculiarities of the feminine mind, storekeepers in all branches of trade have! improved the old chromo-with every pound-of-tea idea in so many ways that their stores are kept crowded with customers. In pleasant weather the shoppers swarm in and out of the retail establishments, making small purchases and accumulating pres ents of colored plaques, paper banjos. toy baloons,, fans, vases, whisk-holders, boxes of candy, and; scores of other pretty, quaint and artistic novelties. In one tour oi Jugutu street a good ener getic woman can collect as many fancy cards and knick-knacks as she can com fortably carry. Every novelty is eagerly sought for, and those stores having the latest things in paper and cardboard are little loadstones that attract the shop pers in numbers. The manager of a store that has been foremost in the distribution of these de vices said to a Times reporter on Satur day : "This mode of advertising has be come so popular and; extensive that it has assumed surprising dimensions and importance. We have to spend thou sands of dollars every year to keep pace with the demand. Just now there are very lew demands coming in. but we have advices from the New York house tfhich supplies us that they are prepar ing some very elaborate cards for the holidays." ! "Plaques?" he said in answer to a ques tion; "why, the ladies are cray for tbem. We used to have a long line of people formed in one end of our aisles every day, waiting to be served with the disks which, by the way, were pretty in design, but somewhat j highly colored. rri . inea mere were tne miniature paper cases, made for the plaques. There was a great demand for them, but they were a little to expensive to give away in large quantities. Tambourines made of card board and hung with bells is something new, and catches on fully as well as the plaques. The rubber balloons and the autumn leaves, once jso popular, are again revived. A salesman was in here the other day and showed me a beauti ful little banner, the staff being made of steel and the banner of a cheap quality of silk, with the name of the firm printed in gold letters thereon. He said he could furnish them at four cents apiece. I preferred to wait, however, until the holidays before I spent any more in this direction. I tell you it is a most expen sive form of advertising; but now, that the scheme is fairly started, it is verv had to discontinue it.'j A member of a firm of lithographers in this citv, when asked for information concerning the work of preparing and designing the gifts, said: "Up to a re- a . a . t m cent date tne Dest ot tne designs were imported from Berlin, Hamburg, Frank fort and other German cities, where great care is taken with them. Owing to the difference between the price of labor here and abroad! American litho graphers were unable to produce such work as the Germans, j The best artists were employed to furnish devices, some commanding as high as sixty dollars a week." j "ion will observe, he proceeded to say, "it requires not jonly skill in the execution but often humorous concep tion and neat taste in i planning them. This is particularly true of the cards, which we devote great attention to. Here, for instance, are some j pictures which, while they please the ! eye, are quite sure to bring a smile. This is a Watteau picture. There is the lover in a quan dary as to which of the two maidens at his side he will marry, and in the next card he has solved the question by tak ing the road with the finger-post marked 'Utah. Here is another card picturing the seashore. In the foreground, you see, are two mischievous girls burning the solitary hair on the bald head of the old salt, who is trying to inveigle sand- snipe into his net. Here are the illus trations to narsery rhymes: "Old Mother Hubbard,'1 "The Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe,";" Jack and Gill," and "ine Uow Jumping Uver tne Moon." They are interesting to the little ones, to be sure, ! but their rich colors, quaint .figures S and humorous points are full of funny) suggestions to cider neaus. in addition to tnese, we get up cards to order for special trades, either singly or in sets. J All of these are done in the very highest style of the lithographer's art, and vary in prices, some of the handsomest .'designs costing as high as fifteen and twenty cents for each card. "Some are made in the foim of a shell, witn a outterny, a iairy ana nowers in bold relief. These are a! new style and are expensive, we are always ready to buy original ideas and designs, and many firms offer prizes j for such. In this way they get many original sug gestions, which their own artists are put to work upon, for they are generally but suggestions and need a master hand to develop and finish them. But of one thing I am certain that this mode of advertising by lithographic cards and otner designs pas naai too neaitny a growth to die suddenly; j it will live for many years to come. As long as it lives it will encourage art and give substan tial support to thousands of draughts men and painters who would starve. if they waited for the recognition that their talents deserve at the hands of the connoisseurs of higher art." f Philadel phia Times. "Teach your daughter how to cook," exclaims the Philadelphia Becord. That is all very nice in theory but experience has shown that they will waste about $5000 worth of jnovisions while learn ing, and then, after mastering the art, will get married and cook for some other fellow, leaving you to wrestle with the new Biddy. Better let the other fellow do the teaching and bear the expense and dyspepsia. j Cold is not kept out with a "For God's sake!" or "For the prophet's sake!" but with four seers of cotton.- Afghan.
