I *?fc ixf .» .-rf THE SULTAN AS HE IS. A Frenchman*! Vivid Description of the Baler of Turkey, Victor Berard, in writing on Tur key and the sultan for a Parisian review, has told some very interest ing faets. For several years he was a college professor in Constantino ple and knows his subject thorough ly. He blames the-sultan and Russia for the Armenian massacres, and holds the sultan up to scorn as per haps the most abject coward hold ing a high position in Europe. 80 fearful is the sultan of dyna mite that he will not allow electric ity to be used in Constantinople, as it is' generated by dynamos. sv Here is the pen picture he draws of the sultan: "Abdul Hamid is a gentle, shy, civ il man, rather cold at a first inter view, but whose manner becomes winning on better acquaintance. His temper is'even, his address affable, his native intelligence above the av erage, .but his culture is niL The gross farces of the Turkish stage and 'penny horrible' French liter ature are his great delight. He has ordered the whole of 'Xavier de Montepin' to be translated for him. His' piety, perhaps simulated, is narrow and superstitions, and his private life serious, and, indeed, austere. The most severe Young Turks admit that for centuries the Ottoman throne has not been ocou. pied by a man so little sensual. Em bassadors have all been charmed by Abdul Hamid, and many have not got over this pleasant impression. It is due to the extreme politeness of this autoorat, to his attention to their remarks, his apparent assent to every oite of their conclusions. The proofs he gives of hard work, good will and scrupulous t^esa appeal to even the most liberal Young Turks, like Murad Bey.. "A great effort or long habit is necessary to mistrust or disbelieve a man who seems so upright and who certainly is unhappy. Every thing in his attitude, words and even silence, his sudden pinching of the lips, starts of the body, wander ing looks and the pallor of the cheeks disguised by powder—every thing shows unreasoning, incurable fear in. the successor-of the unfor tunate Aziz and Murad. It is the key to his character. Fear has subdued in him pride, passion and vices, but it has also killed generosity, straightforwardness, honor and all sentiment further than that of preservation." Wr' J»wi Anthropologically Considered. We continually heajfof the Israel itish race. It is spblya bf as the moat homogeneous of graces, and the jmost refractory. But it is strongly diverse. Anthropologists are accus. tomed- to divi^ if into two parts well dsH'- the dolicho •achycephalic.

In India white Jews are found in Bombay and black Jews in Cochin. As to the Jews in China, they are not only allied to the Chinese who surround them, but they have even adopted their customs and the religion of Confu cius. It is well known that in Italy they speak Italian, as in France they speak French and in Germany Ger man. A language is learned and apoken by two peoples which have bo,other point of contact.—Monist. His Mistake. Bilkins—How is business,Willqnsl Wilkins—Can't make it go. At this rate I'll be bankrupt in another month. I don't seem to have any head for business. Bilkins—No, you haven't, but you have a good stand, and if you'll promise to keep hands off and let me run things I'll go in with you as partner. Wilkins—Done. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Guest of Mr. Wilkins (ten years after)—What a magnificent place you have—everything that wealth oould buy- or heart wish!

We know some awful kickers of this wicked mundane sphere who came on earth by accident and kick because they're here they make themselves uncomfortable ana other people sick they drive themselves to suicideand still they always kiok. We know a man who kioks and kicks the blessed livelong, day and if there's naught to kick. about he's kicking' anyway.

All friends of justice and equal rights in Au dubon county are urgently invited to meet in mass contention in Audubon June 25th and 26tb» 1897. The convention will be hold under the joint auspices of the National-American Woman Suffrage Association, and the IoWa Equal Suffrage Association. Able speakers will be present, and an entertrining, instructive program will be provided. Four states, Wyom ing, Colorado, Utah and Idaho, have alreaidy granted full suffrage to dromon, while twenty six additional states have .admitted the jhstice of the claim by extending partial suffrage. The states which nave had full opportunity to ob serve the advantages of woman suffrage, unite in testimony that it has proved beneficial in every direction. It has in no way injured men, women or the state. Instead, under its influ ence, women have become more intelligent and self-reliant good men have been enoouraged by the moral aid of women, and ha^e sought the purification of politics, which they were unable to accomplish alone while the stato h%s gained anew dignity by the introduction of this moral force. Important business concerning methods of work best suited to hasten the establishment of women suffrage in Iowa, in order that the state may gain its consequent good effects, will be considered in the convention. The friends of suffrage are invited to aid in the formation of the indifferent are invited to attend the session that they may be converted and the opiKwed are invited to participate in the discussion, presenting their sido of the question.
