-In the Harem.
-
-
-Many people have an idea that Turkish women absolutely do nothing that
-is either useful or ornamental aside from the decoration of their own
-persons, but that is not altogether true, as my residence of over a
-year in their country taught me, for they are really dextrous with the
-needle and do work which is as fine as that done by the sisters in the
-convents, or that of the wives of the feudal noblemen of olden times.
-
-The favorite pastime of the Turkish women is the bath, which brings
-together the wives and slaves of all the well-to-do Turks, and it is
-like a picnic of school children.
-
-These wives, most of them very young--some, indeed, not over twelve or
-fourteen years old--take their lunch along, and they eat and steam,
-plunge and splash, and play pranks upon each other in the wildest glee
-the whole day long. No fear of an angry husband haunts their minds, for
-they are not expected to do anything, and their husbands very rarely
-enter the harems before six o’clock. By this time they are all back,
-rosy and sweet from their bath.
-
-At the baths there is often an old woman who has the faculty of
-relating stories, and she is eagerly listened to by the grown-up
-children; the stories are generally of the Arabian nights order, full
-of genii, beautiful ladies, and charming youths and jealous husbands.
-Many a lesson is given as how to outwit the most jealous of men
-through these stories--a lesson they are neither slow to learn nor
-practise.
-
-The way they are watched and confined always made me think of the woman
-who cautioned her innocent children not to put blue beans in their
-noses while she was out. The magic lantern entertainments amuse these
-ignorant caged birds. Dancing girls, singing and playing the lute,
-playing with the babies and occasionally quarrelling with each other
-take up some of their time; a weekly tour of the bazaars and once in a
-while a visit to the harem of some other Turk, still leave much time
-on their hands that the rare calls of their husbands, the eating of
-sweetmeats or smoking of cigarettes cannot fill, and so they give their
-poor little minds to fancy work. They very seldom learn how to read, or
-perhaps books would help them through, and they never make their own
-clothes, though they do sometimes decorate them very elaborately after
-others have made them.
-
-They have frames made on which their embroidery is worked, and on
-velvet, satin or that beautiful and durable Broussa gauze they
-embroider with exquisite fineness and taste. The most of their
-embroidery is done in durable and admirably-arranged colors, in
-subdued tones, which seem to me remarkable in women who are so fond
-of brilliant primary colors and ill-assorted contrasts. They have no
-patterns, but work out graceful and beautiful fantasies, and all done
-with the most extreme care and fineness, requiring patience and extra
-good eyesight.
-
-We might suppose that these women would take pleasure in making and
-embroidering their babies’ clothes as do other women, but as babies
-are simply swathed in endless rollers, like a mummy, until they are
-six months old, ornament is unnecessary. At the end of six months boy
-babies are put into pantaloons and girls into loose trousers, both
-being usually made of large flowered chintz.
-
-About the only thing I ever noticed the Turkish women do for their
-little children was to make toys for them, and they make the most
-grotesque-looking dogs, lions, cows, rabbits, elephants, camels and
-doll babies out of rags for their amusement. They never nurse their
-babies for fear of spoiling the shape of the bust. They are very poor
-mothers, as they are too ignorant themselves to understand their
-responsibilities or to teach their children. They alternately slap them
-or caress and indulge them just as their own humor happens to be good
-or bad.
-
-The little girls are taught to sew and embroider, how to walk
-gracefully, and recline in the most negligent manner upon the divans,
-how to play by ear a little on the lute, and to sing their interminable
-love songs. Their songs are like Barbara Allen, Lovely Young Caroline
-of Edinboro Town, the Brown Girl, or Gipsy Dave--all long, and telling
-a whole romance to a plaintive chant.
-
-I never learned to speak Turkish, but I got so that I could seize upon
-the meaning of these songs. The singer always puts all the life and
-sentiment she can into her music, and often sheds tears as she sings,
-as do her listeners. I have even seen one or two of them faint away
-at the most pathetic part. This is a very common trait among Turkish
-women, and I have not yet been able to decide whether it is the result
-of a weak will or extreme sensibility, but they faint on every possible
-occasion.
-
-The Turkish women love music passionately, and nearly all of them can
-play some instrument with taste and feeling, though almost always by
-ear. Their native music is always sad and plaintive, and often full
-of such a piercing sorrow that it is no wonder it brings tears. They
-love flowers, too, and you rarely see one without a flower in her hand
-when it is possible to get them, and they are fond of birds, and raise
-a great many themselves. Many of the Turkish women show considerable
-talent in drawing and painting, though the poor things never have any
-chance to learn. They simply “pick it up.”
-
-As I found the Turkish women--and I happened to have obtained, by a
-fortunate circumstance, a chance to know them in their homes accorded
-to very few foreign women, and to absolutely no foreign man--they are
-gentle, submissive, loving, and with many natural gifts in addition
-to their beauty. If they were educated they would be the equal of any
-women in Europe.
-
-It does not seem to me that they are unhappy in their peculiar marriage
-relations. They reminded me of a lot of irresponsible young girls in
-a boarding-school, and the only jealousy such as might be felt of
-the “teacher’s pet.” Instead of the poisoned and vindictive murder I
-supposed always ready to be inflicted upon each other, the worst they
-ever do is to pull each other’s hair occasionally or box each other’s
-ears.
-
-Girls reach their majority at nine and are frequently married a year
-later, though not usually until fifteen. By that time all the education
-they get is acquired. Instead of being taught all the abstruse
-sciences she is taught all the caressing words and gestures possible
-to imagine--how to walk, sit, look and speak so as to appear the most
-seductive in the eyes of the husband who gets her.
-
-No Turkish wife of the better class is ever expected to do any
-domestic labor whatever, nor to make any of the household linen, nor
-any garments for herself or members of the household, nor to sew any
-buttons on, nor, above all, to make her husband’s shirts; therefore it
-can be seen at once that almost every source of domestic disagreement
-is done away with, and the Turkish husband never expects his wife to
-get on her knees to hunt for his collar button, nor scold her if the
-dinner is badly cooked; so that in many respects life in a harem is
-not so very bad after all, and one-tenth of a good husband is better
-than the whole of a bad one.
-
-
-
-
-Secrets of the Harem.
-
-
-The harem is that part of a polygamist’s house which is set apart
-for the use of his wives and their attendants; it also denotes this
-collective body of women. In all Mohammedan countries it is customary
-for wealthy men to keep a harem; for, though four is the number of
-wives to which the faithful are restricted by the Koran, there is no
-limit to the number of concubines a man may have, except his ability to
-maintain them. The mention of a harem naturally suggests to most people
-the female portion of the royal households of Turkey and Persia and
-Egypt. In the sultan’s harem each wife--he alone can have seven--has a
-separate suite of apartments, and a separate troop of female slaves to
-wait upon her and do her bidding.
-
-All the female slaves or odalisques throughout the harem are, however,
-at the disposal of their royal master. She who first gives birth to
-an heir, whether wife or slave, is instantly promoted to the rank of
-chief wife. The title sultana is borne, not by the sultan’s wives,
-but by his mother, sisters and daughters. The real ruler of the harem
-is the sultan’s mother, but under her is the lady superintendent of
-the harem, usually an old and trusted favorite of the sultan. The
-duties of guarding the harem or seraglio, as it is sometimes called,
-are intrusted to a small army of eunuchs, the chief officer of whom
-generally enjoys considerable political influence. The inmates of the
-harem lead a very secluded life.
-
-
-
-
-The Sultan’s Seraglio.
-
-
-Seraglio is the palace of the sultan at Constantinople. It stands in a
-beautiful situation on a head of land projecting into the sea, known as
-the Golden Horn, and is enclosed by walls seven and one-half miles in
-circuit. Within the walls are a variety of mosques, gardens and large
-edifices, capable of containing 20,000 people, though the whole number
-of the inhabitants scarcely ever reaches the half of this.
-
-The principal entrance is a kind of pavilion, which is constantly
-guarded by capidjis, or officers of the seraglio, and consists of a
-group of houses and gardens, one of each being possessed by each of the
-sultan’s wives, and of the habitations of the concubines and slaves.
-
-The harem is ruled by the Kiaja-Khatun, or inspector of the women,
-who is under the sultan’s authority alone, and is supplied with what
-they require by the Kislar-aga or chief of the black eunuchs, who form
-the principal or inner guard of the harem. The second and outer guard
-is given to the white eunuchs under their chief the Kapu-agassy, or
-Kapu-oghlan.
-
-Other classes of household officers are the mutes, who, till recently,
-were the executors of the sultan’s orders, especially those in which
-the utmost secrecy was required; the bostanjis, or gardeners; the
-batajis, or clearers of wood; and the itsh-oghlans, or attendants of
-the sultan. The sultan’s mother always resides within the seraglio, but
-his sisters do not. Access may easily be had to the seraglio, with the
-exception of the harem, which is scrupulously guarded from even the
-eyes of strangers. The English have improperly confounded the two terms
-“seraglio” and “harem.”
-
-
-
-
-Dervishes.
-
-
-A Dervish, in Mohammedan countries, is a class of people resembling
-in many respects the monks of Christendom. The dervishes are divided
-into many different brotherhoods and orders. They live mostly in well
-endowed convents, called Tekkije or Changah, and are under a chief
-with the title of a Sheik. Some of the monks are married, and allowed
-to live out of the monastery, but must sleep there some nights weekly.
-Their devotional exercises consist in meetings for worship, prayers,
-religious dances, and mortifications. As the convent does not provide
-them with clothing, they are obliged to work more or less.
-
-It is difficult to say when these religious orders took their rise.
-From the earliest times, pious persons in the East have held it to
-be meritorious to renounce earthly joys, to free themselves from the
-trammels of domestic and social life, and to devote their thoughts
-in poverty and retirement to the contemplation of God. In this sense,
-poverty is recommended by Mohammed in the Koran. Tradition refers to
-the origin of these orders to the earliest times of Islam, making the
-califs Abubekr and Ali found such brotherhoods; but it is more probable
-that they arose later.
-
-Many Mohammedan princes and Turkish sultans have held dervishes in high
-respect, and bestowed rich endowments on their establishments; and they
-are still in high veneration with the people. The Kadris are commonly
-known in the West as “the howling dervishes,” from the excited chant of
-their religious services; the “dancing dervishes” are the Mevelevis.

-The Life of Popular Songs.
-
-
-In the end, a popular song is killed by its own success; it is sung,
-played, and whistled to death. The hand-organs hasten the catastrophe.
-It is doubtful whether any popular song of to-day will have other than
-an ephemeral existence, there are so many more people than there used
-to be to wear it out. Some of the songs of forty years ago--notably,
-“Swanee River,” “Old Folks at Home,” and the “Mocking Bird”--are still
-frequently heard, which cannot be said of the popular songs of more
-recent years.
-
-The war for the Union gave birth to quite a number of good songs, and
-“Marching through Georgia” will live as long as a soldier exists.
-Soon after the war we had “Silver Threads Among the Gold” and “Put Me
-in My Little Bed,” which were in everybody’s mouth, and put a great
-deal of money into the pocket of their author. But they are seldom
-heard nowadays; and the same may be said of “Captain Jinks of the
-Hoss Marines,” who fed his horse on corn and beans, and “Walkin’ Down
-Broadway.”
-
-It is now some years ago since our ears were regaled with “Rock-a-Bye,
-Baby,” “Climbin’ Up the Golden Stairs,” and “See-Saw.” These were
-succeeded by “Maggie Murphy’s Home,” “McGinty,” “Annie Rooney,” the
-famous “Ta-ra-ra,” and “Monte Carlo,” which have already been turned
-down for “My Sweetheart’s the Man in the Moon,” “Daisy,” and the
-latest rage--“After the Ball.” It is said, by the way, that the
-author of the last-mentioned song is deriving a fortune from it. He
-has already cleared more than a popular novelist realizes from a four
-hundred page book.

-Opportunity.
-
-
-  I do not know, if, climbing some steep hill
-  Through fragrant wooded pass, this glimpse I bought;
-  Or whether in some mid-day I was caught
-  To upper air, where visions of God’s will
-  In pictures to our quickened sense fulfil
-  His word. But this I saw:
-                            A path I sought
-  Through wall of rock. No human fingers wrought
-  The golden gates which opened, suddenly, still,
-  And wide. My fear was hushed by my delight.
-  Surpassing fair the lands; my path lay plain;
-  Alas! So spell-bound, feasting on the sight,
-  I paused, that I but reached the threshold bright,
-  When, swinging swift, the golden gates again
-  Were rocky walls, by which I wept in vain!

-
-What He Did.
-
-
-The idea of refusing water to fever patients is, we are glad to say,
-nearly a thing of the past. The following incident, related by a
-sailor, serves as an illustration of the water treatment. “Some years
-ago, when we were in Jamaica, several of us were sick with the fever,
-and among the rest the second mate. The doctor had been giving him
-brandy to keep him up, but I thought it was a queer kind of ‘keeping
-up.’ Why, you see, it stands to reason that if you heap fuel on a fire,
-it will burn the faster, and putting brandy to a fever is just the same
-kind of thing.
-
-“Well, the doctor gave him up, and I was sent to watch with him. No
-medicine was left, for it was no use--nothing would help him; and I
-had my directions what to do with the body when he was dead. Toward
-midnight he asked for some water. I got him the coolest I could find,
-and all he wanted; and if you’ll believe me, in less than three hours
-he drank three gallons.
-
-“The sweat rolled from him like rain. Then I thought sure he was gone;
-but he was sleeping, and as sweetly as a child. In the morning when the
-doctor came, he asked what time the mate died.
-
-“‘Won’t you go in and look at him?’ I said.
-
-“He went in and took the mate’s hand.
-
-“‘Why,’ said he, ‘the man is not dead. He’s alive and doing well. What
-have you been giving him?’
-
-“‘Water, simply water, and all he wanted of it,’ said I.
-
-“I don’t know as the doctor learned anything from that, but I did.”

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<h2><a name="In_the_Harem" id="In_the_Harem"></a>In the Harem.</h2>
-
-
-<p>Many people have an idea that Turkish
-women absolutely do nothing that is either
-useful or ornamental aside from the decoration
-of their own persons, but that is not altogether
-true, as my residence of over a year in their
-country taught me, for they are really dextrous
-with the needle and do work which is as fine as
-that done by the sisters in the convents, or that
-of the wives of the feudal noblemen of olden
-times.</p>
-
-<p>The favorite pastime of the Turkish women
-is the bath, which brings together the wives
-and slaves of all the well-to-do Turks, and it is
-like a picnic of school children.</p>
-
-<p>These wives, most of them very young&mdash;some,
-indeed, not over twelve or fourteen years
-old&mdash;take their lunch along, and they eat and
-steam, plunge and splash, and play pranks
-upon each other in the wildest glee the whole
-day long. No fear of an angry husband
-haunts their minds, for they are not expected
-to do anything, and their husbands very rarely
-enter the harems before six o’clock. By this
-time they are all back, rosy and sweet from
-their bath.</p>
-
-<p>At the baths there is often an old woman
-who has the faculty of relating stories, and she
-is eagerly listened to by the grown-up children;
-the stories are generally of the Arabian nights
-order, full of genii, beautiful ladies, and
-charming youths and jealous husbands. Many<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span>
-a lesson is given as how to outwit the most
-jealous of men through these stories&mdash;a lesson
-they are neither slow to learn nor practise.</p>
-
-<p>The way they are watched and confined always
-made me think of the woman who cautioned
-her innocent children not to put blue
-beans in their noses while she was out. The
-magic lantern entertainments amuse these ignorant
-caged birds. Dancing girls, singing and
-playing the lute, playing with the babies and
-occasionally quarrelling with each other take
-up some of their time; a weekly tour of the
-bazaars and once in a while a visit to the
-harem of some other Turk, still leave much
-time on their hands that the rare calls of their
-husbands, the eating of sweetmeats or smoking
-of cigarettes cannot fill, and so they give
-their poor little minds to fancy work. They
-very seldom learn how to read, or perhaps
-books would help them through, and they
-never make their own clothes, though they do
-sometimes decorate them very elaborately after
-others have made them.</p>
-
-<p>They have frames made on which their embroidery
-is worked, and on velvet, satin or that
-beautiful and durable Broussa gauze they embroider
-with exquisite fineness and taste.
-The most of their embroidery is done in durable
-and admirably-arranged colors, in subdued
-tones, which seem to me remarkable in
-women who are so fond of brilliant primary
-colors and ill-assorted contrasts. They have
-no patterns, but work out graceful and beautiful<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span>
-fantasies, and all done with the most extreme
-care and fineness, requiring patience and
-extra good eyesight.</p>
-
-<p>We might suppose that these women would
-take pleasure in making and embroidering
-their babies’ clothes as do other women, but as
-babies are simply swathed in endless rollers,
-like a mummy, until they are six months old,
-ornament is unnecessary. At the end of six
-months boy babies are put into pantaloons and
-girls into loose trousers, both being usually
-made of large flowered chintz.</p>
-
-<p>About the only thing I ever noticed the
-Turkish women do for their little children was
-to make toys for them, and they make the
-most grotesque-looking dogs, lions, cows, rabbits,
-elephants, camels and doll babies out of
-rags for their amusement. They never nurse
-their babies for fear of spoiling the shape of
-the bust. They are very poor mothers, as they
-are too ignorant themselves to understand their
-responsibilities or to teach their children.
-They alternately slap them or caress and indulge
-them just as their own humor happens to
-be good or bad.</p>
-
-<p>The little girls are taught to sew and embroider,
-how to walk gracefully, and recline in
-the most negligent manner upon the divans,
-how to play by ear a little on the lute, and to
-sing their interminable love songs. Their
-songs are like Barbara Allen, Lovely Young
-Caroline of Edinboro Town, the Brown Girl,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span>
-or Gipsy Dave&mdash;all long, and telling a whole
-romance to a plaintive chant.</p>
-
-<p>I never learned to speak Turkish, but I got
-so that I could seize upon the meaning of these
-songs. The singer always puts all the life and
-sentiment she can into her music, and often
-sheds tears as she sings, as do her listeners. I
-have even seen one or two of them faint away
-at the most pathetic part. This is a very common
-trait among Turkish women, and I have
-not yet been able to decide whether it is the
-result of a weak will or extreme sensibility, but
-they faint on every possible occasion.</p>
-
-<p>The Turkish women love music passionately,
-and nearly all of them can play some instrument
-with taste and feeling, though almost
-always by ear. Their native music is always
-sad and plaintive, and often full of such a
-piercing sorrow that it is no wonder it brings
-tears. They love flowers, too, and you rarely
-see one without a flower in her hand when it is
-possible to get them, and they are fond of
-birds, and raise a great many themselves.
-Many of the Turkish women show considerable
-talent in drawing and painting, though the
-poor things never have any chance to learn.
-They simply “pick it up.”</p>
-
-<p>As I found the Turkish women&mdash;and I happened
-to have obtained, by a fortunate circumstance,
-a chance to know them in their homes
-accorded to very few foreign women, and to
-absolutely no foreign man&mdash;they are gentle,
-submissive, loving, and with many natural<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span>
-gifts in addition to their beauty. If they were
-educated they would be the equal of any
-women in Europe.</p>
-
-<p>It does not seem to me that they are unhappy
-in their peculiar marriage relations. They reminded
-me of a lot of irresponsible young girls
-in a boarding-school, and the only jealousy
-such as might be felt of the “teacher’s pet.”
-Instead of the poisoned and vindictive murder
-I supposed always ready to be inflicted upon
-each other, the worst they ever do is to pull
-each other’s hair occasionally or box each
-other’s ears.</p>
-
-<p>Girls reach their majority at nine and are frequently
-married a year later, though not usually
-until fifteen. By that time all the education
-they get is acquired. Instead of being
-taught all the abstruse sciences she is taught
-all the caressing words and gestures possible to
-imagine&mdash;how to walk, sit, look and speak so as
-to appear the most seductive in the eyes of the
-husband who gets her.</p>
-
-<p>No Turkish wife of the better class is ever
-expected to do any domestic labor whatever,
-nor to make any of the household linen, nor
-any garments for herself or members of the
-household, nor to sew any buttons on, nor,
-above all, to make her husband’s shirts; therefore
-it can be seen at once that almost every
-source of domestic disagreement is done away
-with, and the Turkish husband never expects
-his wife to get on her knees to hunt for his
-collar button, nor scold her if the dinner is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span>
-badly cooked; so that in many respects life in
-a harem is not so very bad after all, and one-tenth
-of a good husband is better than the
-whole of a bad one.</p>

-<h2><a name="Secrets_of_the_Harem" id="Secrets_of_the_Harem"></a>Secrets of the Harem.</h2>
-
-
-<p>The harem is that part of a polygamist’s
-house which is set apart for the use of his
-wives and their attendants; it also denotes this
-collective body of women. In all Mohammedan
-countries it is customary for wealthy men
-to keep a harem; for, though four is the number
-of wives to which the faithful are restricted
-by the Koran, there is no limit to the number
-of concubines a man may have, except his
-ability to maintain them. The mention of a
-harem naturally suggests to most people the
-female portion of the royal households of Turkey
-and Persia and Egypt. In the sultan’s
-harem each wife&mdash;he alone can have seven&mdash;has
-a separate suite of apartments, and a separate
-troop of female slaves to wait upon her
-and do her bidding.</p>
-
-<p>All the female slaves or odalisques throughout
-the harem are, however, at the disposal of
-their royal master. She who first gives birth
-to an heir, whether wife or slave, is instantly
-promoted to the rank of chief wife. The title
-sultana is borne, not by the sultan’s wives,
-but by his mother, sisters and daughters. The
-real ruler of the harem is the sultan’s mother,
-but under her is the lady superintendent of the
-harem, usually an old and trusted favorite of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span>
-the sultan. The duties of guarding the harem
-or seraglio, as it is sometimes called, are intrusted
-to a small army of eunuchs, the chief
-officer of whom generally enjoys considerable
-political influence. The inmates of the harem
-lead a very secluded life.</p>

-<h2><a name="The_Sultans_Seraglio" id="The_Sultans_Seraglio"></a>The Sultan’s Seraglio.</h2>
-
-
-<p>Seraglio is the palace of the sultan at Constantinople.
-It stands in a beautiful situation
-on a head of land projecting into the sea,
-known as the Golden Horn, and is enclosed by
-walls seven and one-half miles in circuit.
-Within the walls are a variety of mosques, gardens
-and large edifices, capable of containing
-20,000 people, though the whole number of the
-inhabitants scarcely ever reaches the half of
-this.</p>
-
-<p>The principal entrance is a kind of pavilion,
-which is constantly guarded by capidjis, or
-officers of the seraglio, and consists of a group
-of houses and gardens, one of each being possessed
-by each of the sultan’s wives, and of the
-habitations of the concubines and slaves.</p>
-
-<p>The harem is ruled by the Kiaja-Khatun, or
-inspector of the women, who is under the sultan’s
-authority alone, and is supplied with
-what they require by the Kislar-aga or chief of
-the black eunuchs, who form the principal or
-inner guard of the harem. The second and
-outer guard is given to the white eunuchs under
-their chief the Kapu-agassy, or Kapu-oghlan.</p>
-
-<p>Other classes of household officers are the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span>
-mutes, who, till recently, were the executors of
-the sultan’s orders, especially those in which
-the utmost secrecy was required; the bostanjis,
-or gardeners; the batajis, or clearers of wood;
-and the itsh-oghlans, or attendants of the sultan.
-The sultan’s mother always resides within
-the seraglio, but his sisters do not. Access
-may easily be had to the seraglio, with the exception
-of the harem, which is scrupulously
-guarded from even the eyes of strangers. The
-English have improperly confounded the two
-terms “seraglio” and “harem.”</p>

-<h2><a name="Dervishes" id="Dervishes"></a>Dervishes.</h2>
-
-
-<p>A Dervish, in Mohammedan countries, is a
-class of people resembling in many respects
-the monks of Christendom. The dervishes are
-divided into many different brotherhoods and
-orders. They live mostly in well endowed convents,
-called Tekkije or Changah, and are under
-a chief with the title of a Sheik. Some of the
-monks are married, and allowed to live out of
-the monastery, but must sleep there some
-nights weekly. Their devotional exercises consist
-in meetings for worship, prayers, religious
-dances, and mortifications. As the convent
-does not provide them with clothing, they are
-obliged to work more or less.</p>
-
-<p>It is difficult to say when these religious
-orders took their rise. From the earliest times,
-pious persons in the East have held it to be
-meritorious to renounce earthly joys, to free
-themselves from the trammels of domestic and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>
-social life, and to devote their thoughts in
-poverty and retirement to the contemplation of
-God. In this sense, poverty is recommended
-by Mohammed in the Koran. Tradition refers
-to the origin of these orders to the earliest times
-of Islam, making the califs Abubekr and Ali
-found such brotherhoods; but it is more probable
-that they arose later.</p>
-
-<p>Many Mohammedan princes and Turkish
-sultans have held dervishes in high respect,
-and bestowed rich endowments on their establishments;
-and they are still in high veneration
-with the people. The Kadris are commonly
-known in the West as “the howling dervishes,”
-from the excited chant of their religious services;
-the “dancing dervishes” are the Mevelevis.</p>

-<h2><a name="The_Life_of_Popular_Songs" id="The_Life_of_Popular_Songs"></a>The Life of Popular Songs.</h2>
-
-
-<p>In the end, a popular song is killed by its
-own success; it is sung, played, and whistled
-to death. The hand-organs hasten the catastrophe.
-It is doubtful whether any popular
-song of to-day will have other than an ephemeral
-existence, there are so many more people
-than there used to be to wear it out. Some of
-the songs of forty years ago&mdash;notably, “Swanee
-River,” “Old Folks at Home,” and the “Mocking
-Bird”&mdash;are still frequently heard, which
-cannot be said of the popular songs of more
-recent years.</p>
-
-<p>The war for the Union gave birth to quite a
-number of good songs, and “Marching through
-Georgia” will live as long as a soldier exists.
-Soon after the war we had “Silver Threads
-Among the Gold” and “Put Me in My Little
-Bed,” which were in everybody’s mouth, and
-put a great deal of money into the pocket of
-their author. But they are seldom heard nowadays;
-and the same may be said of “Captain
-Jinks of the Hoss Marines,” who fed his horse
-on corn and beans, and “Walkin’ Down Broadway.”</p>
-
-<p>It is now some years ago since our ears were
-regaled with “Rock-a-Bye, Baby,” “Climbin’
-Up the Golden Stairs,” and “See-Saw.” These
-were succeeded by “Maggie Murphy’s Home,”
-“McGinty,” “Annie Rooney,” the famous
-“Ta-ra-ra,” and “Monte Carlo,” which have
-already been turned down for “My Sweetheart’s<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span>
-the Man in the Moon,” “Daisy,” and the latest
-rage&mdash;“After the Ball.” It is said, by the way,
-that the author of the last-mentioned song is
-deriving a fortune from it. He has already
-cleared more than a popular novelist realizes
-from a four hundred page book.</p>

-<h2><a name="What_He_Did" id="What_He_Did"></a>What He Did.</h2>
-
-
-<p>The idea of refusing water to fever patients
-is, we are glad to say, nearly a thing of the
-past. The following incident, related by a
-sailor, serves as an illustration of the water
-treatment. “Some years ago, when we were in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>
-Jamaica, several of us were sick with the fever,
-and among the rest the second mate. The
-doctor had been giving him brandy to keep
-him up, but I thought it was a queer kind of
-‘keeping up.’ Why, you see, it stands to reason
-that if you heap fuel on a fire, it will burn
-the faster, and putting brandy to a fever is just
-the same kind of thing.</p>
-
-<p>“Well, the doctor gave him up, and I was
-sent to watch with him. No medicine was left,
-for it was no use&mdash;nothing would help him;
-and I had my directions what to do with the
-body when he was dead. Toward midnight he
-asked for some water. I got him the coolest I
-could find, and all he wanted; and if you’ll
-believe me, in less than three hours he drank
-three gallons.</p>
-
-<p>“The sweat rolled from him like rain. Then
-I thought sure he was gone; but he was sleeping,
-and as sweetly as a child. In the morning
-when the doctor came, he asked what time the
-mate died.</p>
-
-<p>“‘Won’t you go in and look at him?’ I said.</p>
-
-<p>“He went in and took the mate’s hand.</p>
-
-<p>“‘Why,’ said he, ‘the man is not dead. He’s
-alive and doing well. What have you been
-giving him?’</p>
-
-<p>“‘Water, simply water, and all he wanted of
-it,’ said I.</p>
-
-<p>“I don’t know as the doctor learned anything
-from that, but I did.”</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
