CM THE SULTAN'S TREASURES. An Kajlishmiw'i Avoount of the Wonder­ ful Thin(> He Baw< When the outer wooden door was opened a massive barrier of wrought iron was disclosed, crossed by several long bars or bolts, on which were huge heavy padlocks. One by one these were opened and removed, and at last the ponderous gate swung upon its creaking hinges, and the well-guarded precincts were entered. Vory cave-like and mysterious indeed is the first aspect of the three great, square, lofty rooms, en suite with each other, occupied by the collection. The rooms are dimly lit by grated windows high up in the walls, and a gallerv with a low balus­ trade surrounds them at mid-height. The deep,, old-fashioned glazed cases containing the bulk of the objects, es­ pecially those in the lower story, are thus quite in the shade. The first room is the richest in nota­ ble objects. The most conspicuous, though by no means the most interest­ ing, thing is a great throrie or divan of beaten gold, occupying the entire cen­ ter of the room, set with pearls, rubies, and emeralds, thousands on thousands in number, covering the entire surface in a geometrical mosaic pattern. This specimen of barbaric magnificence was a spoil of war taken from one of the Shahs of Persia. Infinitely more interesting and beau­ tiful, however, is another canopietj, throne or divan placed in the upper story of the same room. This is a gen­ uine work of old Turkish art. made - some time during the second half of the sixteenth century. This throne is a raised, square seat, on which the Sul­ tan sat cross-legged. At each angle "rises a square, vertical shaft, support­ ing a dome-tfhaped canopy, with a min­ aret or pinnacle surmounted by a rich gold and jeweled finial. The back is paneled, or closed in, as if by a cloth of estate, and there is a footstool in front for aid in ascending the high-raised seat. The entire height of the throne is nine or ten feet, the materials pre­ cious woods, ebony, sandal wood, etc., encrusted or inlaid with tortoise shell, mother of pearl, silver and gold. The entire piece is decorated inside and out with a branching floriated design in iiiotlier of pearl marqnertiere.in the style Of the fine early Persian painted tiles, Wonderfully intricate and in admirable taste, and the center of each of the princi­ pal leaves and flowers is set with splen­ did eabochon gems, fine balas rubies, emeralds, sapphires, pearls, etc. Pendant from the roof of the canopy, and occupying a position which would be directly over the head of the Sultan when seated on the throne, is a golden cord, on which is hung a large heart- shaped ornament of gold, chased . and perforated with floriated work, and be­ neath it again a huge, uncut emerald of line color, but of irregular triangular shape, four inches in diameter, and an inch and a half thick. Richly decorated arms and armor form a eonspicunos feature of the con­ tents of all the three rooms. The most notable work in this class in the first bpartment is a splendid suit of mixed chain and plate-mail, wonderfully dam­ ascened and jeweled, worn by Sultan Mura:l IV., in 1638, at the taking of Bagdad. Near to it is a cimeter, prob­ ably part of the panoply of the same monarch. Both the hilt and the greater portion of the broad scabbard of this weapon are encrusted with large table diamonds, forming checker work, all the square stones being regularly and symmetrically cut and of exactly the ..jgame size--upward of half an inch across. There is another sumptuous work of art in the same room, similarly adorned. This is a massive cylindrical tankard, in solid gold. The handle, cover, and a raised band round the cen­ ter of the drum, or body, of this piece are admirably chiseled with floriated and cartouche ornamentation.' Large bowls, cups, and vases, filled witli gold and silver coins, uncut gems, and poarlsj are in great number distrib­ uted through the rooms. A splendid series of large crystal, jade and onyx vases, bottles, bowls, etc., mostly of Persian ami Indian work, in­ laid with gold and set with innumerable rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc., must not be forgotten. Some of these pieces, especially the crystals, are of great size and very unusual shapes, and many of them are of considerable antiquity. Among these ai\e specimens of mediaeval - western European origin. These are two large octagonal crystal ewers of well-known Gothic type. One of these retains its beautiful and most quaint, ancient, silver-gilt handle, cover and projecting spout, the latter in the shape of a grotesque? dragon's neck and head. The other and larger piece, upward of nine inches high, has lost its original mounts, and a jeweled gold lid of Turk­ ish work of comparatively recent date has been adapted to it. Not improba- ' blv these pieces and certain ancient manuscripts in the library are all. that remains of the spoils of Matthios Cor- vinus, or the Palirologi.---J. C. Robin- son, in London Time.-'. A Good Salesman. Referring to the account of a "good buyer" in the columns of a contempo­ rary, an English journal reviews the requisite qualities of a "good seller," and inquires as to what he should be like. The buyer described, con­ tinues the writer, is rightly put down as a man of few words, but will this answer for the good seller ? Not in any way. The latter must not only have the gift of the gab, but be able to know when to use his eloquence and when silence is the best policy. We never knew a good seller a silent man. The very essence of the duty of the subject of our 'skrt-oh is talking, extolling his wares, dilating on the shortness of stock the probability of certain sizes and qualities being scarce, the fact of nearly all the stocks in his line being cleared, etc., etc. What use would the man of few words be at this work ? The good selltr .should thoroughly understand the trade he represents, and therein he is identical with what constitutes a good buyer. A man who has only a partial acquaintance with goods In; is anxious to find a market for will sometimes be at a loss, and in the end may find he is wasting his cus­ tomer's time as well as his own. A good selb r must essentially be an even- tempered man, not easily put out, and, above all, should have a very large stock of patience in his composition. A buyer with a good balance at his banker's can be any temperament under the sun. We are not sure but that the more crabbed he is the better he buys; but not being positive on this head, we will not press the point, but there is no necessity for him to be particularly good-temp, r d; but the seller must niako his tamper subservient to the dis­ position of those with whom he is en- j voring to do business, but he need pot be sycophantic. Therein lies the liftYrence between an accomplished salesman and one who overdoes the DMi The good seller should be a traveled man, and one thoroughly con­ versant with the topics of the day, but should eschew any bias in polities, yet be able to diseuss with liis customer all the pros and cons of parliamentary doings, home and foreign, without be­ traying any tendency one way or the other, unless he finds his customer is bigoted to siome party doctrine, in which event the good seller will glide off the subject on to some more con­ genial topic in order to avoid disputing the point with his buyer. The good seller should be a man of untiring energy, fond of company, and a cosmo­ politan as far as religious doctrines are concerned.--Clothier ami FumitUer {U. S.) * . Wearing Her Life Airay. There is nothing sadder looking than the over-worked woman who is a slave to her children. For her there is no rest. At midnight, at noon, and at evening, she is in relentless demand. Her spirit is broken, and with a voice stirring in its tones of resignation, she speaks of her hardships. A neigh!>or visits her. The visitor is shown into a room devastated by recent romp and riot. "No, I never go any place. I am so tired that--Edgar, don't saw that chair, dear. He's not very well to-day. He didn't sleep but little last night. Louis, don't climb on the table.

"No, he won't," says Edgar, as he lingers in the doorway. "Now don't you see he won't ?" "Well, both of you run along like--" A distressing cry arises. The woman rushes out and returns bearing a little child in her arms. "Did mamma's little darling hurt herself? Yes, she did. Now, don't cry. The ladv will laugh at you." /'I don't care if she does." "Oh! shame on you to talk that way. Nobody will love you .if you talk that way." "Don't want anybody to love me." "There, dear, run along and mamma will let you go down town with her when she goes." "Me, too?" yelled Edgar and Louis. "Yes, you may all go." "Are you goin' right now?" Ekgar asks. "No, not now." "When?" "After awhile."

Neighbors gather around her. They tell her that God knows best. She hears the minister repeat the divine words: "Suffer little children to come unto me." * » • * # • Years pass. A man who has just ar­ rived in town, in the town where he was born, goes to the cemetery. He stands with uncovered head near a sunken grave. The green growth of years covers the stone, but he reads the name of his mother. He knows that he helped to wear her life away. How often had he pained that dear heart which is now dust beneath his feet. He feels that his mother is now looking down upon him--knows that her soul is at-re^t. He turns away and meets a woman and several children. "Tommy, you must not throw stones. Come here, Andrew, and let me wipe your nose. Millie, what is the matter, dear? Fell down? Well, don't cry, dear, it won't hurt long. Andrew, take that shell out of vom* mouth. Now, look at you, got your clothes all dirty. Come on, now, and lets go home." "You promised to stay a long time?" one of the children petulantly savs. "Well, haven't we stayed a long time ?" "No, we haven't." "Please let us go home. Poor mamma is so tired." "No, you ain't." "Yes, I am." l,Conie on, au' let's go down here." They drag her along. The man hears her sigh. He knows that the, children are wearing her life away. Life in Other Spheres. Proctor argues that every celestial body must at some time pass through a life supporting period, which must be very short compared with the duration of the world'-s own existance. Concern­ ing the date of life era in other worlds than-ours he remarks: "In the presence of time-intervals seen to be at once in­ finitely great and infinitely little--in­ finitely great compared with the dura­ tion of our earth, infinitely little by comparison with the eternities amid which they are lost--what reason can we have, when viewing any orb in space from our little earth, for saying, now is the time when that orb is. like our earth, the abode of life ? Why should life on that orb synchronize $ith life on the earth ? Are not, on the contrary, the chances infinitely great against such a coincidence ? If. as Helmholtz has well said, the duration of life on our earth is but the minutest ripple in the infinite ocean of time, and the dura­ tion of life on any other planet of like minuteness, what reason can we have for supposing that those remote, minute, and no wav associated waves of life must needs be abreast of each other on the infinite ocean whose surface they scarcely ripple V * * * It is more pro­ bable that life is wanting than that lifo exists at the present time. Neverthe­ less, it is at least as probable that every meml>er of our order--planet., sun, galaxy, and so onward to higher and higher orders endlessly--has been, is now, or will hereafter be, life-support- ing 'after its kind.' " So GREAT have been the underweight swindlings of bakers in England, that by a late court decision those who peddle bread in carts are obliged now to carry a pair of scales with them. Much better is the Turkish plan. They tack the baker up to his shop door by the ears, so that his toes will just touch the ground, and furnish him with a razor, so that he need not hang there a second longer than he wants to. Tent Secretary Lamar's Anecdote Marshall. Secretary Lamar is one of the best story-tellers in public life, and in this respect is fully the equal of those two delightful raconteurs, Senators Vance and Vest. At a Cabinet meeting some allusion was made by the President to Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. "I once had a funny experience with Marshall," said Mr. Lamar, breaking into the conversation. "It happened at Oxford, Mississippi, a few months prior to the attack on Fort Sumter. The secession movement was growing rapidly in my State and formed the staple subject of conversation. One night 1 delivered a strong disunion speech in the lecture-room of the col­ lege. The house was packed, and my radical views, by the younger men at least, were applauded to the echo. At the conclusion of mv speech a tall, dis- tinguished-looking gentleman arose and said: 'Ladies and gentlemen, I have reason to believe that I am not un­ known to many of those present. I have listened to the remarks of our brilliant young friend with mingled feelings of pain and pleasure. Secession is wrong. You will make a mistake if you attempt to carry this graud old commonwealth out of the Union. You don't know the people of the North. I do. I have lived among them. I know their strength and their forbearance. They are not to be trifled with. If you will meet me in this hall to-miorrow night I will do mv uttermost to con­ vince you of that fact.' "The speaker, who, aalie said, was per­ sonally known to most of those present, was Tom Marshall, the celebrated Ken­ tucky orator. The next night the hall Avas jammed. Marshall spoke for two hours. No one but a man of Southern birth and training would have dared ex­ press such sentiments as he expressed on that occasion. He took up my arguments seriatim and demolished them one after the other. Before the close of his speech hardly a convert to secession could be found within the sound of his voice. Although I had been crushed and sat upon," continued Mr. Lamar, "I could not fail to be im­ pressed with Mr. Marshall's matchless oratory and the soundness of his logic. I admired him more than ever. A few divs subsequent I started out for a drive. Marshall stood in the door of the village tavern as I drove past. With a view of showing him that I entertained no malice, I invited him to accompany me. He replied that he would if 1 would excuse him until he had made a few changes in his linen. In a few minutes lie reappeared and away we went. Marshall immediately began talking. He dwelt for a time upon the impending political crisis. He talked of books, the arts, and the sciences, and when, at the conclusion of our ride, he alighted from the buggy, I felt that I had never been so delightfully enter­ tained in my life, for, mind you, during all this time I had not uttered a word. Marshall left Oxford the next day, and died, if you rememlgfi|, within the next twelve months. A few weeks later a friend of mine, a Louisville gentleman, called at my house. I spoke of Mar­ shall's visit to Oxford. 'Yes,' said he, 'Marshall told me about it. He said you were very angry at him for reply­ ing to your disunion speech. He knew you were watching an opportunity to force him into a quarrel. He thought you had found it when you invited him to go riding one day. I dare say you remember that ho excused himself a few moments on the plea of changing his linen. He went to his room and armed himself, instead. He deter­ mined not to fight if possible, and for that reason decided to employ the art of eloquence, with a view to curbing your murderous intent. He told me he must have succeeded, for you never uttered a belligerent word during the whole ride or afterward.'" Planting Forests. The establishment of an arbor day in some of the states is a wise provision, for the time has come when the farm­ ing community should be aroused to the fatal consequence attending a con­ tinuance of the wholesale destruction of trees without a corresponding effort to make good this loss. Great induce­ ments are held out in Europe for the plantingiof forests, and anything like the indiscriminate felling of trees that is practiced in this country would never be tolerated. There much attention is given to the preservation and attrac­ tiveness of the forest growths, foresters being employed who devote their whole time to this purpose. The royal forests of Englond include 125,000 acres of white oak alone, and this does not in­ clude the great timber possessions found among the parks. Within fifty years the English Government has paid for the planting of 40,(MX) acres to timber. In planting forests we must consider the use to which we shall wish to put the trees. If the object be fuel, then we should grow only those trees whose combustion gives the most heat. In comparing the different kinds of fuel, hickory has been regarded as the standard and placed at 100; elm falls 12 points below; white oak is placed at 84, yellow oak at (50 and red oak at <>!•; white ash ranks 77, beech (55, black birch (52, white birch 43, yellow pine 54, white pine 40 and chestnut 52. If we want building material and are anxious to secure it as soon as ]>ossil>le, chestnut and pine will fill the bill. It is well, however, to take into considera­ tion soil adaptation before commencing operations. The soil for hickory and oaks is clay, for elm and willow alluvial deposits, for white birch and fir sand and sandy loams. Birches, larches, spruces, and firs will thrive in elevated positions and northern* exposures. If we have not soils especially adapted to the particular varieties we wish to grow, there are those large stretches of country called "pine plains" which may well be utilized for this purpose; and in New England there is a great ileal of land that Mas once covered with forest, which is now "exhausted" pastures, that had best be returned to the forests.-- American Cultivator.

AH OLD PREJUDICE DISAPPKAMHO. Women doctors are so numerous sow that the prejudioe against them has long since died out. There are several in the United States, it is said, who enjoy an annual income of $20,000 and over, and a practice worth $5,000 a year is common. They have reached their present honorable position by hard Mid conscientious work, and all they receive is well earned. Medi­ cal colleges for women are now established in all the large cities, and the graduates from them number several hundred every year. Among the women doctors of Illi­ nois is Miss Addie M. Barnes, of Danville, who recently moved to that city from La­ fayette, Ind. She has recently had herself as a patient, and how she was successful i|j working a cure she tells as follows: "I had a very stubborn case of sciatica and had been confined to my bed for three weeks. I had blistered the limb and used all kinds of liniments to no purpose, ltev. Dr. Buchtel told me of the wonderful rem­ edy, Athlophoros. Our druggist sent for it and I bought two bottles of it. Before I had taken three doses I was able to get out of bed and sit up for two hours. Iu three days I went down the street. I be­ lieve that had I persevered with tli£ rem­ edy the cure would have been permanent. However, I have never been such a sufferer since. I keep Athlophoros in my office and often tell patients of the great relief it gave me. and recommend it." E. K. Mercer, proprietor of the Prince­ ton (111.) Tribune, savs of Athlophoros: "It is a good medicine and did me more good than did half a dozen doctors." Mr. John H. Hutsel, proprietor of the West Side Pavilion, No. 678 West Indiana street, Chicago, who had been a victim of rheumatism, savs: "I never had a severe case of sickness be­ fore this rheumatism caine on me, and I would just remark right here that I never want another such. When it first made its appearance I consulted a physician, but his medicine made me worse. I then went to St. Joseph's Hospital. After being there some time and getting no relief, I went back home.- After being at home a few days, I heard about Athlophoros and decided to try it myself. I came from the hospital on the 3d of July. Two days after that I was unable to waik or sleep at night. I was in this condition when I com­ menced with the Athlophoros on the 7th inst., and by the 15th of the month I was well. You can see by my book, I have an exact record of the- dates of the time I com­ menced using and when I was well." "How long were you sick. Mr. Hutsel?" "For five weeks I was confined to my bed, during which time I lest twenty-three pounds of flesh." "How much did you use to effect this cure?" "Two bottles did the work, and I have not felt any pain or return of the disease since." "Have yon known of any others that have used Athlophoros?" "Yes; the lady that recommended it to me said she knew of an old chronic case of twenty years' standing that had been cured by the use of Athlophoros. I hate had many persons that knew how I had been afflicted and suffered inquire what cured me. I am always glad to l>e nble to say that Athlophoros is the sovereign reme­ dy for rheumatism."
