FATHER OF THE FAITHFUL.
A Glimpse of the Sultan as He Rides
in State.
If you wish for a glimpse, and that
but a momentary one., of the Sultan of
Turkey, then drive to Yildiz Kiosk, for
the day is Friday and he goes to the
Selamilik, as his fathers did before
him. He is enveloped in a cloud of
ministers and military guards, who
are anxious only as they press around,
to protect him from the faintest whisper
or suspicion of any storm outside
his palace walls. Tdoay the sun is
distinctly warm, and wakes up all the
color sleeping in a red fez, blue tunic
or featherlight cloak of a Turkish j
woman. The clock on the gate
strikes half-past 7?the Mohammedan's
day begins at sunset?and the j
pick of their cavalry, infantry and
artillery take up positions to right j
and left of the road. A rattle and
rush of heavy wheels, and up the hill |
come 15 or 20 carts filled with sand, i
which quickly carpets the dirty road, j
To see this done with such lightning j
speed makes one wonder whether the j
Sultan knows how filthy dirty are the j
streets of his capital. This is the I
I more unlikely as he only quits his j
! palaro twice a year, and on both c.~oai
sions this dust-throwing performance j
J takes place along the route of Stam- !
boul, where stands the mosque of San j
Sofia.
j All eyes are now turned toward the I
palace, for the ladies of the harem are j
approaching in close carriages drawn ;
by gray horses. They enter the gates I
of the inclosure in front of the
mosque; the-horses are taken out and j
remain there under the charge of a j
coal black eunnuch, taking no further ;
part in the ceremony. Seated in one J
of the carriages is a fair haired girl
about five years old?the Sultan's only
daughter. Just a brief pause and |
then the bugle sounds, and a tremen- j
dous roar gees up from the thousands
of-troops and people, for his |
Highness has left the palace. On i
top of the minaret of the mosque a :
priest leans over and shouts down a
| praveT, which is answered again by a
roa?.
We Franks are accommodated in a
portion of the palace just opposite the
gates, which commands an excellent |
view of the whole proceedings, as well :
as the Sultan's yacht, the Izzedin, j
which lies at anchor in the Bosphor- |

while a slight blush of maidenly coyness
tinted her pink-hued cheeks, "a

"Huh! that petrified dub!" jealously ,
ejaculated the young dry goods dealer,
who had been hanging back because |
of his timidity and excessive adoration, j
"He says," proceeded the maiden, ;
gently ignoring the interruption, and |
reading aloud from the interesting j
document, "I have carefully and comprehensively

A CHANGE <
BAXTER
THE announcement that Miss
Jane Prior, of London, was
going to lecture on first aid
for the wounded and sick
i nursing in general threw the
village of Foxdnle into an unusual
J.state of excitement. That these lectures
were to he for ladies only added
a mystery that merely increased the
interest manifested in the minds of
these favored individuals. Notices
calling attention to these facts were
posted in favorable spots about the
village, and the congregation was apprised
of the same from the pulpit
of the parish church.
If Miss Prior excluded the male
community from her attentions, she
herself was not disregarded, but
formed the subject of much criticism
among the neglected members of the
Foxdale population. The nightly discussions
at the Pig and Whistle centred
round these proceedings, the knowledge
respecting the subject being va
ried and obscure. Foxdale had never
had its peace disturbed by anything
more intellectual than an occasional
traveling circus, so that the prospect
of Miss Prior's advent awoke the quiet
village from its usual apathy.
The lectures proving a great success
so far as.the attendance was concerned,
Miss Prior announced that,
providing a sufficient number came
forward, the institution she represented
in London would be pleased to conduct
classes in the same subject during
the ensuing monihs. This finding favor,
Foxdale teemed with embryo
nurses, thirsting for opportunities to
test their newly-acquired knowledge
and to put it to practical use. Broken
bones not being an every-day occurrence,
they turned their attentions to
sound ones; many hours that might
have been spent much more congenially
at the Pig and Whistle being
passed by long-suffering husbands in
submitting various parts cf their anatomy
to be bandaged and put in splints,
to give their better halves the necessary
practice.
Old Sam Willot was the first to become
a genuine patient, and lie limped
home early one afternoon with a
sprained ankle. Mrs. Wiilet was the
most earnest devotee in the new cause,
and received her husband'figuratively
with open arms and welcomed him
with fervor, stimulated by the advent
of the first case of necessity for the
trial of her skill.
With the wounded ankle carefully
bandaged Mr. Willet was assisted into
the front garden, where, reclining in
a comfortable chair, his injured foot
resting on a hassock, he served the
double purpose of , advertising his
wife's skill ami. creating jealousy
among the other amateur nurses in the
village.
He was inclined to grumble at his
enforced confinement at first; but the
kind and increasing attentions of his
wife caused him to-fcel more contented
with his lot, and to look upon his accident
as a fortunate occurrence. It
being the period of the year during
which the evenings wore long and
balmy, Mr. Vv'illct sat in the gardens
and held receptions of numcr.tms
friends coming to inquire after' his
hurt and to cheer his lousiness, "
"It must be tryin^-fdr ycu to 'ave to
sit so quiet' a^kTTay, Sam," said Joe ,
Rogers, wluy living next door to Mr.
Willet, hadhail his feelings somewhat
sevei^iy tried at the sight of that perSt5nage
enjoying an early morning pipe
and a daily paper.
"You get used to it," answered Sam.
"I did feel It 'ard at first, but the rest's
nice, after the 'ard work I've done:
but it pulls you down a bit."
"You're lookin' well," remarked an
umui, in a gueery \uu:e. uciuu quue
fat, you are."
"Look at tlie nursing I've 'ad," responded
Sam. "Why, I couldn't 'avo
had been better looked after if I'd
been in a 'ospital."
Mrs. Wiilet smiled proudly, and
glanced with an expression of triumph
at the faces of several of her rivals
who were present.
JT11 get you your tonic," she said, ,
solicitiously. "Yon mustn't talk too
much, or we shall 'ave you goin' back ,
again, and you're gettin' on nicely
now."
"I 'as this three times a day," said
Willett, beamingly, as his wife returned.
"It's to keep strength up; it's
wonderful 'ow it sustains one. Puts
you all in a glow," he added, as he i
took a draught and put the tumbler i
down empty. *
"When shall you be about again, ;
Sam?" inquired Joe, whose face during !
the above incident had been a study. I
"I don't know," replied that worthy, *
gingerly moving his injured foot on the
cushion. "It doesn't do to 'urry these j
thiugs: there's nothin' like gettin' i
properly cured while you're about it. i
Sprains is awkward things."
Mrs. Wiilet interposed at this point I
and insisted on the invalid returning '
indoors, so the party broke up, Joe i
Rogers and others adjourning to the
Pig and Whistle to discuss the ad van- i

takes a practical interest in tlie gentle i
art of nursing. Two clays later Joe !
Rogers fell a victim, bis right knee
giving away altogether, rendering 1
walking evidently a painful and dan- <
gerous undertaking. Mrs. Rogers, full 1
of the new responsibility now resting i
upon her, sought an interview with
Mrs. Willet, and the two went off to- !
gether to hold a consultation over the '
injured and apparently suffering Joe. 1
Similar treatment being meted but to 1
the new invalid, the two conversed 1
amiably over the hedge that divided
the gardens, comparing symptoms, and <
receiving in state numerous interested 1
friends during the evening. s
Misfortunes never come singly, and <
had the invalids suffered from scarlet (
fever infection could not have spread
more quickly. William Jones was the
next to fall a victim; and he broke his 1
arm in an attempt to quiet a restive j
horse that seemed to take a sudden
antipathy to harness and work in gen- ;
eral. Then Jim Robinson sprained Iris ;
wrist, which rendered his attention to ]
work, which was of a manual nature
absolutely impossible. From these it ]

on the several accidents rendering a <
free use of stimulants a necessity for 1
the maintenance of the sufferers' bod- 1
ily health. <
In spite of such careful attention the i
patients progressed very slowly, and <
after the first burst of enthusiasm was 1
over the several nurses grew somewhat ]
dissatisfied with the result of their <
treatment. A visit from their in- i
Btructor, who condescended to per- 1
sonally examine their patients, only
added to this dissatisfaction, and they '
net together to consult as to the ad- i
visability of a change of remedy. Mr. J
Willet was not feeing so well when <
his wife returned f?ter this discussion;
there was a look in her eye that i
warned him to be careful if he desired 1
to keep things pleasant.

foot again?" she asked, as slie removed
her bonnet.
"I'd like to use it now, if it wasn't
so painful. I don't understand 'ow it
is it doesn't get on quicker. I s'pose
I'm weak, that's what it is," he answered
resignedly, looking anxiously
out of the corners of his eyes at his
wife, who was doing a rough and ready
toilet in front of the parlor mirror.
"You can't he very weak," answered
his wife, looking at liim. "Look at the
nourishment you've 'ad; besides, everybody
says you're iookiu' so well. 'Ow
do you feel now?"
Mr. Willet inwardly wished everybody
would pay less attention to his
"personal appearance. Ho had been
quietly enjoying the last few days, and
would like to continue in the same coil
clition a little longer.
"I've felt a bit faint while you've
been out." he said, feebly. "I'd 'are
'ad a little tonie only I couldn't
move out of my chair; p'r'aps it's not
too late now."
Mrs. Willet murmured something
her husband did not catch, and looked
anxious.
"And 'ow's the foot?" she inquired.
Mr. Willet looked down upon it, and
as it was swathed with many thicknesses
of bandages, and there being
nothing else to say about it, he remarked
that it felt hot.
"I've been treatin' you wrong, I'm
afraid," replied his wife. "You've been
fed up too well in your low state. I'll
take your temperature."
Bringing out a small glass tube, Mr.
Willet was commanded to place it under
his tongue and not to speak until
it was removed. It being an impossibility
to do otherwise than obey, Mr.
Willet remained silent for the longest
four minutes he could remember. Mrs.
Willet then removed the instrument
of torture, took it to the light, and
examined it long and closely; finally
she shut it up in its case and returned
it to her pocket.
"I'll go and get your bed ready," she
remarked seriously. "You want to be
kept quiet; you'll be better up there."
"I don't want to go to bed," said
Mr. Willet, anxiously. "I'm very comfortable
down here."
"You'll go where it's best for yon,"
answered his wife sharply. "You'd
better be gettiu' yourself ready now;
I shan't be more than a few moments
up-stairs."
In a very unwilling state of mind
Mr. Willet was undressed, and placed
safely in bed at the unusual and, to
him, unpleasant hour of six o'clock,
and a summer evening into the bargain.
Being left to himself he found it
a dreary time, and in the morning ho
screwed up his courage to inquire alter
the other invalids.
"They've all been treated wrong,"
said Mrs. Willet. "Like you? they
ain't so well, so they're restin' quietly."
"In bed?" queried Mr. Willet," anxiously.
^
"Same as you," responded his wife.
"You'll 'ave some -friends in to-night
that'll cheerjFfiirtip a bit."
"I'jl^OJhe down and see 'cm," said
Bam, weakly.
"You'll do nothing of the kind; you
lie where you are and get well. 1
don't want all my nursing to go for
nothing."
Mr. Willet's remarks on nursing fortunately
were not heard?they were
not complimentary. Mrs. Willet
smoothed his pillows, arranged the
clothes and said she'd bring him some
gruel later on.
"I don't want any," said the patient
shortly.
"Ah, you're losing your appetife, are
yon? It's a good thing you've got some
one to look after you and see as you
'ave your food regular." _

was useless: be lay and looked at the
limited view of the world that was
permitted from the small window of
his bedroom. The sun was shining
brilliantly; he could hear coming faintly
from the fields familiar sounds,
proving that the work was going forward
where he ought to be assisting.
What a fool he was! Why had he not
gone back to work when he was able,
instead of laying himself open to this
self-imposed confinement? Even the
knowledge that his fellow-sufferers
were in a like position failed to bring
him consolation.
Evening had barely set in on one of
the most dismal days be could remember
when voices below signalled the
advent of anxious inquirers. Mrs. Willet
ushered them upstairs, but Mr. Wallet
did not seem hospitably inclined, "
!\nd the look that greeted the good
Samaritans that entered could hardly
have been interpreted into one of welcome.
"Sorry to hear yon ain't so well,

thought you "was a-pickin' up wonderful."
"It's surprisin' 'ow these things
turn," said another. "I 'ad a brother
evho sprained 'is ankle once, an' 'e was
in bed three weeks."
iMr. Willet glared at the last speaker,
and had he been anywhere else but in
bed his look might have instilled the
recipient with a fear of worse to follow.
"Make yourselves comfortable," interposed
Mrs. Willet. "There's a little
cordial down stairs I've been givin'
to Sam; 'e don't take it now, an' it's
a pity to waste it. I'll bring it up."
The conversation was very one-sided,
Sam being treated to graphic descriptions
of some interesting evenings at
the Pig and Whistle from which be
bad been debarred, the details of which
svere bitter-sweet to the hearer.
"Sam's not very lively to-night," said
me, with a commiserating glance at
the ruddy face, showing like an angry
>unset against a white cloud of bedclothes.
"I suppose it's not to be wonlered
at, though."
"I've got a 'eadache," said Sam.
tvhich was not far from the truth,
though it sprang from suppressed an;er
more than impaired health.
"All, well, we won't keep you talkin'
my longer," said another, ccmpassionltely;
"we must go and call on Joe
Rogers and the other pore sick folk."
Next morning, after extending her
professional care to the needs of her
patient, Mrs. Willet left him to the
:ompar.ionsh!p of his own thoughts
while she went into the village for a
.'ew necessaries known to housekeep?rs.
Mr. Willet devoted much time to
planning an excuse for a rapid recov?ry;
but ideas did net come as he
wished. He was in the midst of these
problems when he heard the front
3oor cpen below, and a we.I-known
roice calling ki3 name broke his medications.
"Sen! Can!" called the speaker.
'Can 1 come up?" Apparently thinking
his question needed no answer,
footsteps followed the vcice, and the
Dwner of both entered the rccin.
"Why, Joe!" exclaimed Sam, in a
surprised tone, "I thought you was in i
>ed. *Ow's the knee?"
"Better," said ignoring the first
enaik. "Why don't you get up?" he|
continued, leaning over the end of the
bed and looking at Sara. "Foot still
bad?"
"No worse than you knee, I suppose,"
Mr. Willet growled in response. " 'Ow
can I get up? The wife won't let
me."
"No more will mine, but I've done It.
She's gone out shoppin'. I'm sick of
nursing."
" 'Ow can I get up without making
an ass of myself?" returned Sam, bitterly.
"I don't want the wife to know
as I've been playin' the fool."
Joe gasped and looked at Sam with
an ignorauce of the situation.
"Well, bless me," he-said. "You
don't mean to tell me you think she
doesn't know it. Wot do you take
her for? I thought you'd have gnessed
after last night."
Any doubts as to Mr. Willet's condition
would have been at once dispelled
had those ivho questioned it been present
after this remark. Throwing the
bedclothes violently off the bed, and
regardless of sprains and bandages, be
sprang to his feet.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Only that we've been made fools
of," answered Joe, with a laugh. "Puttin'
nc tn hod nnd nrl that rot: and last
night, too. Regular put-up job to make
us mad."
Mr. Willet was a reserved man as
a rule, but his language was of a
forcible nature as these facts dawned
upon him in all their fullness.
"Help me to take off these infernal
bandages," he said, when he had finished
lii3 criticism of the whole proceeding.
" 'Ow did you find out?"
"Guessed it partly," said Joe, as he
assisted Sam out of an entanglement
he was getting hopelessly involved in.
"Bill Morgan told me the rest. 'E always
did give secrets away when 'e'd
a drink or two. I don't think they'll
be as keen on first aid, though, after
this."
There was consolation in this
thought, and having no fear of disillusioning
his wife as to the deceitfulnoss
j of his character, Mr. Willet dressed
' with celerity and sallied out once more
into the sunshine, his movements in
no way affected by his recent accident
Recovery had been rapid in other
quarters, and the late, cripples joined
forces in restoring the fallen spirits
once more in the congenial surroundings
of the Pig and Whistle. The
glamor surrounding the duties and
pleasure of nursing was destroyed
somewhat after this In Foxdale; and
if afterwards it was necessary for any
to indulge in that particular employment,
the person concerned was careful
not tq_pres?rrt)e for her patient lif

The average citizen may not know
that oysters are planted, cultivated
rand harvested like any other crop, a
person who engages in this industry
being known as an oyster planter.
Thousands of acres of oysters are miller
cultivation in Hampton Roads,
which, during the harvesting season,
is often literally alive with the reaping
machines of the oyster men.
When the oysters are from one and
a half to two years old they are usually
large enough to be sold, and, as a rnle,
part of them are sold at this age and
the balance in the third or fourth year,
after which time the ground is allowed
to rest a year before being planted1
again. Great care must be exercised
in the selection of bottoms for oyster
planting, if the planter would be financially
successful. ?
The largest packer in Hampton opens
from 100,000 to 200,000 bushels of oysters
in a year. In this house, as the
men open the oysters, they drop the
shells on an inclined plane from which
they slide into a trough and are carried
along by scrapers attached to an endless
chain called ii "s'hell conveyer,"
which takes them without further labor
to the shell pile in the yard. When a
shucker has filled his gallon measure
he carries it to the strainer, where the
oysters are strained and measured.
Tiiov ora then omntipd Into large casks
kept foil of fresh water, by means of
which any loose shell or grit Is washed
out. From these casks the oysters are
dipped Into a second strainer, and when
separated from the water arc again
measured and packed. .
The shells are sold for from one to
three cents a bushel, and are nsed extensively
by oyster planters for the
propagation of oysters. They are
placed in small piles on grounds found
suitable for the purpose, where the
spat or small oyster will attach Itself
to the shells. They are also used for
making shell lime and for building the
excellent shell roads found In some
parts of the Virginia peninsula.?Philadelphia

Size of Philadelphia,
Some idea of the great size of Philadelphia
may be gathered from the
figures in the department reports just
printed. There are in the city 1147.71
miles of paved street, besides 412.29
miles of unpaved roads' In the suburbs.
All but a small percentage of these
streets have modern "improved" pave
?t-l-.t. At,
ments, of asphalt, granite vi
brick. The paved surface would make
a continuous driveway thirty feet wide
from here to the Mississippi.
There are beneath these streets 931
miles of sewers. They would form a
continuous water course as long as the
Ohio River.
The streets, with 318 city bridges, arc
lighted by 9426 electric arc lights and
33,409 gas and gasoline lamps. One
thousand four hundred and nineteen
and six-tenths miles of watejr pipe convey
water to 242,506 premises. Only
11,738 premises are not supplied with
city water.
There are more than 800 miles of
conduits fcr electric wire3, representing
more than 50C0 miles of ducts, and
there are still 18,189 miles cf electric
wires in the air, sustained on C1.9C1
pcles. j
There arc 435 miles of street rail wry

His First Cress Suit.
"The first time I ever put on a dress
i suit," said ex-Gov. Scofleld, "was at
' the reception and ball which followed
! in the evening of the day that I was
I Inaugurated. I remember that we
; had to stand on a little platform,
t raised a few inches from the floor,
while the crowd passed along and
shook hands with Mrs. Scofleld and
I myself.
"I weigbed just ninety-six pounds
| at that time, and was as thin as a
match. Mrs. Scofleld is a fleshy woman,
and as I looked at her during a
I lull in the procession and then sized
up my own diminutive anatomy I whis;
pered to her:
; "Martha, we must look like the living
skeleton and the fat woman in the
dime museum to these people."
"That settled Mrs. Scofleld for the
balance of the evening, and ,to save
herself she could not get rid of the
Tipples of mirth that would sweep
over her face and break out into peals
of laughter as the ridiculousness of
the situation appealed to her."?Milwaukee

Ainslee's For July.
The novel in Ainslee's for July is
"The Ribboned Way," by S. Carleton,
BiifVini" r\f "TVin Pnrfllirnw Pnfld " Oth.
er familiar names among the contributors
are Justus Miles Forman, author
of "A Bit of Grease Paint" and '"Journeys

Charles G. D. Roberts, Guy Wetmore
Carryl, author of "The LieutenantGovernor;"
George Horton, Joseph C.
Lincoln and Robert Loveman.
S. Carleton, the author of "The Corduroy
Road," has'a novel in Ainslee's
for July which, in these days, is a refreshing
piece of writing. It has
what seems to be so rare in fiction
lately, namely, atmosphere; it seems
almost to have written itself. It is a
plain, straightforward love stoty, but
it smells of the woods and swamps
and lake3, in the midst of which its
action goes forward. If there were
more novels like this published, we
would be apt to complain less of the
cynicism of the critics.
