People who have not lived in Con- stantinople can have no idea of the in- sane jealousy of the Sultan with re- gard to his successor. An official Turk will ride miles out of his way rather than pass the palaces where reside ex- Sultan Murad and Rechad Eftendi, the Sultan's younger brother and heir. A Minister who passed the palace of the latter twice on his way on important business tx) the Bosporus, where the ^Vmbassadors, are staying, found on his return the most imperious message from the Sultan requiring his immedi- ate presence at YiUliz Kiosk iu order to explain his conduct. Another Min- ister was called uiwn In a similar man- ner for explanation because at the mo- ment when be \\-a3 returning the salute of the guiarid the heir apparent bai>- l^iene^l to pass in his carriage, and there- fore his salute was supposed to bo in- tended for the Prince. .Ministers and great dignitaries get out of tne way ,ind hide abjectly in or<ler not to meet and salute the heir-apparent. RUSSIA'S POWER. The whole visit of the Kai,scr, as well as that now being paid to the Czar by the President of the French repulv lie, serves to call att.ention to the fact that iu spite of all that has been said of the inte'llectual lis well as physical degeneracy of Czar Nicholas, who has been described repeatedly as a weak- ling, half crazed with nervousne-ss and epilepsy. Russia during the three years that have elajjsed since his accession to the throne has attained a ixjwer and a pre-eminence unparalleled in Europe, aa well aa in .Asia, which is unpreced- ented in history. The center of poli- tical gravity in the old world is no longer at Vilenna, at Paris, nor yet at Berlin, where it remained for near- ly a quarter of a century, while Hi.s- miarck was in power, but at .St. Pet;- ersburg, to which all the Governments in Kuroi'e are obliged to refer before embarking uiK>n any scheme of an- in-' t«rnational character. miaiou Uibhels.

At what hour of the day is a man at his strongest, and so fitted to do h.ird work with the loast weariness? Probably the answer occurring at once to most persons will be, " When begets up in the morning." This is by no means the case; on the contrary, according to exi>eriments of Or.
