Bedclothes of Turkey’s Sultans.

Take the quilt of a wide bed, and cover it with pearls of all sizes, from those as big as a pin to some as large as the fattest chestnut. String thousands of such pearls into all shapes, so that they will cover the quilt with embroidery, and you have some idea of the kind of bedclothes under which the most famous Sultans of the past have slept.
