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."

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
