  The 
  whirling 
  dervishes 
  of 
  Constantinople, 
  like 
  the 
  howling 
  dervishes 
  of 
  Egypt, 
  have 
  

   long 
  been 
  among 
  the 
  prominent 
  tourist 
  attractions. 
  The 
  novice 
  must 
  serve 
  the 
  order 
  at 
  

   menial 
  labor 
  for 
  1,001 
  days, 
  and 
  if 
  he 
  fails 
  one 
  day 
  during 
  that 
  time 
  he 
  must 
  start 
  all 
  over 
  

   again.

  At 
  the 
  hour 
  of 
  prayer 
  the 
  mosque 
  yards 
  are 
  crowded 
  with 
  worshippers 
  washing 
  their 
  

   hands, 
  arms, 
  nostrils, 
  and 
  ears 
  according 
  to 
  a 
  strict 
  ritual. 
  Many 
  mosques 
  have 
  shallow 
  

   basins 
  for 
  these 
  ceremonial 
  ablutions, 
  but 
  at 
  the 
  Yeni 
  Valideh 
  Djami 
  there 
  are 
  brass 
  faucets 
  

   with 
  running 
  water.
