KNOWN FACTS.

Present history traces the Angora goat to the vilayet of Angora, in Asia Minor, and to the country immediately surrounding this vilayet. Some have set a date over two thousand years ago, claiming that the Angora goat was introduced into Asia Minor at that time, but the only authentic history is that given by Tournefort, a French naturalist, employed by his government, who explored Asia Minor about two hundred and fifty years ago, and who described and pictured the Angora goat about as he appears to-day and by Evliya Effendi, a Turk, who wrote in 1550 of the goats, and by a few other writers. That they have not changed more is due to the fact that the Turk is quite content as he is, and he has no ambition to breed a different goat from what he has had for at least the past three centuries.

SECTION XXV.

Of the Grand Khâns for Merchants.

The first is the Khoajeh Khân, near the Mahmud Pâshâ, in which all the great Persian merchants have their establishments. It has seventy rooms. The khân of Mahmud Pâshâ has one hundred and twenty rooms ; the Kebejilar Khân one hundred rooms : this is the residence of the rich Bulgarian merchants ; the khân of Piri Pâshâ, eighty rooms; Eski Khân, two hundred rooms : it was built by Bairâm Pâshâ, the Vezir of Sultân Murâd IV., and is called the khân of the captives {asır), because all captives are bought and sold here: it has seventy apartments, and an office for receiving the peiijck or slave duty, a fifth of the value ; the khân of Angora, for the dealers in woollen goods (suf), one hundred rooms ; the khân of Pertev Pâshâ, two hundred rooms ; the khân of Ferhâd Pâshâ, near the Bezestân, two hundred rooms ; Kilid Khân, two hundred rooms; the khân of the Valideh Kosim, mother of Murâd IV., was originally the palace of Jarrâh Mohammed Pâshâ, but having fallen into decay it was rebuilt by the Valideh, and consists of three hundred warehouses, so that this khân, and that of Mahmiid Pâshâ, are the largest in Constantinople. In one corner is a koshk, which raises its head to the skies, and commands a magnificent view : its stables are capable of holding one thousand horses and mules: it has a mosque in the centre ; the Kiaghid Khân, near Mahmud Pâshâ; Kâtir Khân, near Takht-ul-kala'; the khân of the honey- market, inhabited by Egyptian merchants; Ketân Khan; Kata Khân; the kluin of Rustam Pasha; the khan of old Yûsuf Pasha ; the klian of the Mııftî; Chokûr Khan; Sûlû Khan ; the khân of the tallow-market; and the khân of the Zendân-kapû. All these khans are in that quarter of the town called Takht-ul-kala': they are extensive buildings, and are covered with lead. The Juvân Kapûji Khân is in the centre of the raisin-market. The new khân of Kara Mustafâ Pâshâ, Grand Vezir to Sultân Mohammed IV., near Khoâjeh Pâshâ, is a small but strong building. The khân of Kopreili Mohammed Pâshâ, Grand Vezir to Mohammed IV., though, like the last mentioned, a new building, near the poultry-market, is not inferior, as regards solidity, to the Vâlideh Khân. It has upwards of two hundred and twenty apartments.
