What Married Life Mieans to the Euler oi
the Al‘nlenians.
His Majesty never condescends to go
through the usual ceremony of a M )3-
Iain marriage 2. The women of his
harem are divided into three great
classes. The Kad‘ines, who are more
or less legitimate wives, though never
ofificially espoused; the Ikbals, or fav-
orites, from among whom the Kadine
are usually selected, and the Guienzdes,
literally, “the young ladies who are
pleasant in the eyes" of their master,
who may, in their turn, attain to the
dignity of Ikbals. All these women
must be of slave origin. The majority
are either purchased or stolen from Cir—
cassian or Georgian peasants at a very
tender age, and in so mys terious a man-
ner as to°prevent all chance of their
relatives ever tracing their where-
abouts. In nine cases Out of ten, how-
ever, if the lady does not rise to impor-
tance her identity is revealed to her
own kinsfolk, and the chief object of
her life becomes to obtain rich places
for them by fair means or foul. The
Sultan of Turkey, therefore, is invaria-
bly the son of a slave woman. But the
moment that slave becomes the mother
of a prince, or even of a princess, of the
royal blood, she is set free, and given
imperial rank. As an instance in point,
many old residents in Constantinople
still remember 110w Sultan Mahmud II.
was smitten with a sudden passion for
a buxom Hammanjinah, or bathwoman,
who, on becoming the mother of Abd-
ul-Medjid, simultaneously became
Kadive effendi, and eventually rose to
the supreme dignity of “Valide Sultan.”
As all good Musselmans should have
four official wives, so the Sultan has
four Kadines. Each bears her own
distinctive title and takes precede nce
accordingly. It was the Bach Kadine.
or principal, of these ladies, the sister
3f Zaki Pasha, all too well known for
his exploits in the Sasoun, who was re-
cently and erroneously described as the
Sultana. ,
The three other Kadines are respec-
tively denominated the Skindji- Kadine,
”or Second Lady; the Artanie- Karline, or
Middle Lady, and the Kutchuk- Kadine,
01 Little Lady. The fact that each of
these ladies must, according to Moslem
law, have an equal Court in every de-
tail, from the mistress of the robes
down to the lowest scullion, and even
to the number of horses in her stable,
explains why some other female person-
‘ge of the impe1 ial entourage must per-
.01 «.0 be selected to hold the place and
‘ille usually ltlot ed to the wife of 2
11101109,". mous sovereign. This person-
21:13'9,l11 the Turkish system, is always
.110 mother of the reigning Sultan, and
is known as the Valide-Sultan. Should
the Sultan be motherless at the time of
his accession, his foster mother takes
the position, this connection being con-
sidered almost as sacred as +11 0 maternal
one in the eyes of all good ‘dosloms. —

Br. Felix Adler Says Marriage is Better
than Single Blcsscalncss.
In a recent lecture i‘ Cam-0: .gis l‘iusx
112111, No wYo 023:, on the Merriam: i0,
D1. Felix Adler said:
“I undertake to say that m arriage is
better than celibacy. I do 1th vish to
reflect on the motives of people who
lead a single life. Some of them are
too contemp'tible to consider. For in-
stance, those who are too lazy to make
ti .0 change in their life. They think
that if they get married they cannot
live in the style they iindi lge in while
single. They wait until absolutely sure
of sufficient means to continue the same
style of life. They waste the best years
of their life, and are punished suffic-
ientlv by their own conduct.
“Every wife can prod on her husband
and stimulate him to gre eater excition.
If he is illeteiate she can teach him pa-
tience and concentration if she is liter-
ary, and raise him to greater heights.
If both be literary she can be a pleasant
companion. There is no higher enjoy-
ment than intellectual pursuits. The
wife can share the literary delights of
the literary husband.

cently advanced b" some won-2111.1: is

were not merely beings susceptible of
pleasure—that is, sensuous and social
pleasure—but were meant to promote
the mental and moral development of
each other. Marriage should turn each
one's defects into excellencies, for mar—
riage is a compact to look squarely at
each other's faults.
liGHTY RAFTS OF LOGS-
They will Be 527’ Feet Long: by 5.3 Feet
Hide, and 30 Feet. Deep.
The Portland Oregonian tells of a
plan of Capt. Robert: on to tow 1ga11<1ic
rafts of fine timber to San F1 rancisco,
from some point in Oregon.
It is probable, the article says, that
the lumber will be pure res 3d and the
rafts constructed at 01' near Stella, as
Mr. Robertson has a $10, 001) 1112 nt at
that point for this work, which would
cost considerable to tra11s1._')01t to Puget
Sound.
Though they intend to arrange for
felling the'trees at once. the rafts will
not be commenced until some time in
March. It will require a little over
four months to construct the three.
These three rafts will be of a uniform
size, vis. , 537 feet long, 5'2. feet wide, 30
feet deep, and drawing 20 feet of water
when floated, and will contain some
5,000,000 superficial feet of lumber each,
board measure. The lumber shipped,
which includes piling and spar timber,
saw logs and long timber of every de-
scription, will be packed in a cradle
constructed for the purpose.
The raft. when ready to be towed,
will resemble a cigar in shape, flattened
on the upper side, and tapering to a
point at each end. \Vhen the logs are
placed in the cradle, 23. large tow ch'.‘ in
will be 1‘ 1111 through t-le 0011 ire of the
raft. To this will be connected other
Che ins running herr in:;‘- bone fashion
everyl Qfeet, fastened to other chains
surrounding and binding he logs to-
gether tires same distance apart. The
ma aner of cons ruc ting tlei se rafts is
most ingenious, and was patented by
the inventor, Captain Robertson, s
years .130.

CANADA’S FAN-l.
The Dmiiizrion’ 5 Proposed International
Exhibition.
The Dominion of Canada is to have 2‘.
great International Exposition during
the coming summer. The exposition.
which will‘ 00 officially known as the
British Empire Exposition and Interna-
tional Display of all Nations, will be
opened on M ay 24. (the Queens birt b-
day) and will be kept open until Octotcr
133. It will be Canada's fiist great In
tern... ilOleLl Exposition and will include.
exhibits fr 9111 all parts of the world.
The active spirit in the enterprise is
Mr. Joseph H. Stiles, who was the Brit-
ish Commissioner at the California Mid-
winter Fair, and who is known to all
who have be en connected with exposi-
tions as a man of indomitable energy,
pluck ande enterprise. These traits have
been promi.1e11tly brought out in con-
nection with the present enterprise. At
the close of the Midwinter Fair, Mr.
Stiles paid a visit . to Canada, and was
at once struck by the magnificent pos-
sibilities that it aiforded for a great ex-
position. He conferred with leading
citizens and the idea was taken up with
. such zeal that the fair was soon assured.
'1}; Cuba Rebels, _
Mr. Elbert Rappleye, staff correspon-
dent ot the lien and Express, gives in
brief the 1 easons why t 1e Cubans fight—
taxes, debt, discrimination against them
in trade, oppression, disfranchisement.
Of the twenty six millions paid in taxes,
barely 2 per. cent. goes to the Island it-
self. The Cuban pays twice what a
Spaniard pays in Europe, and gets ab-
solutely nothing in return. A debt of
four hundred millions is laid '011 the
people of C1. ba, the heaviest tax by
nearly t .voi’old of any country in the
world. And meanwhile "the ports: are
practically closed to lore? (.1311 00:21 anerco.“
Shipments. even offlA nierican flour. go
first to Spain and after\ 'ards to Cuba.
All this cost is added to the goods the
Cuban buys. It is shown further that
by the e'cction laws only about three in
a hundred of the Cubans have a vote.
Scar-cely one has ever sat in the Spanish
Cortes. All the offices a1 e held by Span-
iards, and the corruption among officials
is almost beyond belief. Even the re
forms sometimes reluctantly granted
by the Cortes are not carried ou‘. Cam-
pos himself did not dare guarantee their
enforcement.
