SUBSTITUTED JEWELS,

It is reported from Constantinople that the jewellery of the ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid has now been valued by a French export at over three million france. A quaint story is being told conterning a diamond-studded tabatiere, described as a present from the Czar. The French expert declares that the tsbatière was originally a present from the German Emperor to the Car, though the diamonds wore then of abotter quality. It is assumed that they were changed in St. Petersburg, of course without the knowledge of the Cear, as has happened before with costly presents.

ABDUL HAMID IN RETIREMENT,

A Paris contemporary threws some light on the doings of the "Red Sultan," the harmit of the Allatini Villa. It seems that Abdul Hamid has quickly forgotten his Palace of Vildiz of sinister memory, its spies and the Armenians, He accepts his new condition like a fatallatio Musselman, barring on his household with the greatest care, managing to economise on the 23,000 framest (£920) a month that the Turkish Government allows hits. The other day one of the ladies of his palace had toothsohe, “A dentist was sent for, and Abdul Hamid remained to aasist at the operation of the extraction of the tooth. The dentist was astonished to see the Sultan in auch excellent health and good spirits. He joked with the practitioner as if he were an old friend.

Some days before the insident recorded above an epidemio of smallpox had broken out at Salonica, and the doctor attached to the town of Allatíni advised the Sultan to have his house- hold vaccinated. Abdul Hamid refused at first, for fear, perhaps, of being poisoned by this hidden means. But, on the entreaties of the doctor, he ended by consenting, on condition, howover, that they vaccinated first and in his presence the ten or more ladies of his harem. and then his young son, whom he always keeps Bear him in his captivity.
