These, {tis said. were due the influence of Mile. Bazillais, who, took care to train her son as far as possible after the French style. The latter after becoming sultan sent an envoy to France with instructions to find out all he could about the Bazillais family. ‘The envoy, however, was, unsuccessful in hi search, for the reasch that the Baziliais were strictly religious people, and would | have nothing to do with the representative | of such a heretic as the sultan.

Dr. Cabanes went home, expecting that an immediate search would be made in the archives, but as yet he has heard nothing further from the embassy He next applied for information to M. Paul de Regla, a writer who is well ac- quainted with Constantinople and political life in ‘Turkey, and recetved in reply the following letter: “My Dear Colleague: There is a tradition in the imperial harem at Constantinople that Sultan Mahmoud, father of Abdul- Medjid and grandfather of Sultan Mourad V., who was the brother of the reigning Sultan, Abdul-Hamid II, was the son of a French womar. who had been captured by pirates. It is even said that this beautiful and Intelligent French woman exercised 80 much influence over her som Mahmout, that the reforms which he accomplished while sultan were mainly due to her.” Some Conflicting Statements. Dr. Cabanes next made a search for mem- bers of the Bazillais family. He heard that there were two persons at Nantes who could give him the desired information, and he wrote to them. : One of them, M. Clericau,an architect and ® relative of the Bazitlais by marriage, sent him in reply the family tree of the Bazi! lais, ai-d told him that the last member o} the family, a girl. was born in 1749 and had died, married, in 1834. He added: “There is unquestionably some truth in the story which you tell me. IT have heard it all before, and, even when I was a child, 1 remember very clearly that I heard my perents talk about the girl who, on account of her great beauty, was presented to the emperor at Nantes (in 1808, I believe), and who subsequently went to Turkey and be- came the favorite sultana.

The resulis of the newly inatituted eye examination that is in operation in the schools at present bring out some startling facts, which strongly suggeat that the eyes of the present century are not nearly as good as eyes of other days. In an examination of the eyes in the German schools there was found to be 75 per cent of the scholars who wore or ab- solutely needed to wear glasses. The Min- neapolis schools are nearly as Had. Prof. Webster of the Bast Side High has devoted his whole time for three days to the eye examination. The eyesight of about 80 per cent of those examined is se- tiously defective, and when asked if they suffered with headache when studying abcut one-third of the scholars answered in the affirmative, the headache being due to defective eyes. The Principal said that he found that the scholars of the better fam- ilies had the poorer eyes, and that the same Was true of those who took the Latin course. > At the South Side High School the eyes were found to be even worse. Prof. Saw- yer said that between 40 and 50 per cent of his scholars needed to wear glasses, and that 30 per cent more were tn need of med- ical treatment. Tiat is to say, there are So per cent defective eyes in the South Side High. PROVED WHOLLY UNTRUE ! ACCOUNTANTS . | AMUSEMENTS. The Reports Concerning Policeman Richards Authoritatively Denied.
