THE GREEN VAULTS
They Hold the Sultan's Vast Store
of Hidden Wealth.
BILLIONS IN RICH TREASURE.
Besides the Gem Laden Throne of
Beaten Gold, The** Heavily Guardad
Cavaa Secrete the Hoardinga of All
the Greedy Rulera of Turkey.
In the green vaults of the porte lies
hidden away what Is perhaps the great
ast treasure In the world, collected for
centuries by Turkey's greedy rulera
and hoarded away from the gaze of
any Inquisitive mortal Xo one has
ever been able to estimate the value of
the sultan's Jewels, for the treasures
lire guarded by day and night. There
are at least twelve sets of heavily bar
red doors to pass before the actual en
trance Is reached to this Aladdin's
cave. For every lock there are two,
keys, Intrusted to as many custodians.
Bach having twenty-four guards. These
are supposed to spy on each other, as
well as protect the guardians of the
keys.
The green vaults of Constatlo, as the
treasure caves are called, are within
the grounds of the porte. Approached
through a court called Dar-es-So'adet—
the court of felicity—it is seen to be a
low domed edlQce with an interesting
doorway, enriched with marbles and
tiles.
The Jewels appear to consist mainly
of set and unset precious stones. All
Information regarding them, however,
is kept secret because of tlite impover
ished condition of the country, and If
the exact amount of the sultan's wealth
were discovered certain unscrupulous
leaders might be tempted to "break in
and steal." The gossipers of Constan
tinople say, however, that if a person
offered £000,000,000 for the green vaults
and secured their contents he would
make a great bargain.
Perhaps the throne of beaten gold,
adorned with millions of rubles, pearls,
diamonds, sapphires and emeralds set
in mosaic. Is the most dazzling object
In the treasury of the "Shadow of God
on Earth." How Sellm I. ever brought
It from Persia away back in the fif
teenth century, when traveling was so
difficult, is quite beyond human com
prehension.

clous stones to compare with the two
great emeralds which adorn the top of
the sultan's throne: One of them
weighs four pounds and is ns big as a
man's hand, the other being a trlile
•mailer.
On a table of ebony and sandalwood,
within reach of the throne, stands a
marvelous golden tankard iucrusted
with 4,000 diamonds. By its side lies
a platter wrought of the purest gold
and literally veneered with diamonds.
On the ground surrounding this daz
zling site are scattered thousands of
rubles, pearls, turquoises and emeralds
mingled with exquisitely curved dla- J
mond buttons. The magnitude of the
whole thing makes one gusp with
amazement.
There are effigies of the sultans clad
in robes of state from 1451 to 1830,
with Jewels on the feathers of their
turbans, daggers and swords which are
priceless, as are the wonderful rubles
and emeralds in the clasps of Ibrahim
and Solymau II.
No museum in the world can boast a
richer collection of armor, scimitars,
shields, pistols, saddles, sandals, canes
and the like, all bejeweled or wrought
of gold.
When the sultana gives a banquet in i
her hureni the treasury is generally
raided for the occasion. At one of
these revels bouquets of diamond flow
ers stretching from shoulder to shoul
der were worn by the sultan's favor
ites. The sultana herself was adorned
with ropes of pearls of unparalleled
size, and In her ears were birds the
size of butterflies holding In their beaks
sparkling gems. The sultan's grand
daughter, a mere infant of eleven, used
to be tortured by having her hair done
up iu a knot on top of her head inside
a diamond crown, the front of her
dress covered with diamond orders,
while her hands were Incased with
golden mittens studded wjth precious
stones.
Few are aware that the sultan is in
receipt of the largest income paid to
any earthly sovereign—something like
i1.000,000 a year—and has the right to
ask for more shoul.l his privy purse
run short. The treasury of useless j
wealth hoarded away in the green
vault, if converted into cash and used
for national purposes, would transform
the miserable Ottoman empire into one
of the richest powers of the world.—
Exchange.
The Swanee River.
It ia related that when Stephen Col
lins Foster was composing "The Old
Folks at Home'* ho was at a loss for
the name of a river which would be
melodious and also fit the rhythm of
the song.
A brother suggested "Pedee"—"Way
down upon the Fedee river."
"No," said the composer. "Pedee Is
not poetical enough."
Various other names were tried, only
to be rejected by the fastidious author.
At length a gazetteer was obtained,
and Foster looked through long lists
of names until he reached Suwanee or
Swanee, as it Is usually written.
The suitable name was found, and in
this manner was immortality bestowed
upon that hitherto almost unknown lit
tle southern river.—Philadelphia Rec
ord.
A little loss frightens; a great one
tames.—Spanish proverb.

Cheese today is not common among
the Bedouin Arabs, butter being pre
ferred. There Is a substance closely
corresponding to cheese mentioned In
Samuel. This consists of coagulated
butermilk, which Is dried until It be
comes quite hard. It Is then ground,
ano the Arabs eat It mixed with butter.
