Fate OF the JanIznrlos.

The recentreport of the death of the last
OF the janizaries in Russia, at the age of up
ward OF 30 years, calls to mind one Of the
most dreaded organizations OF men the
world has ever known. The ianizarics
were the troops with which Turkey fought
her battles in Europe during the centuries
before this. They were originally the
children of Christian parents, captured
by the Turks, and reared in the faith of
Islam
by the Mohammedan law fifth part
of the captivcs. as we'll as Of the spoil,
belonged TO sthe Caliph, the Prophets
successor. Under this law the Sultan
claimed for himself the fifth Fart of the
healthy male children who had been
taken captive in the European wars.
These children became Mohammedan.
They were trained for military service (;
they were granted special privileges; the
highest places in the State were open to
them, and they were made their soy
erelgns body guard.
The beginning Of the present century
brought an end TO the successful career Of
these lanizarics. They persisted in the
use OF their obsolete weapons and old
fashioned tactics, and could not cope
with the artillery nor match the modern
maneuyers of the regiments OF Austria
and Russia. Attempted reforms were
fanaticllly resisted. The introduction
OF Russian tactics brought on an open
revolt IN Constantinople June 10, 1856.
The janizaries were gathered in one Of
the public squares OF the city. They
numbered 20, 900 desperate men. They
were Ignorant of the design of the gov
ment, and had gotten Themselves, as it
were, into trap.
The first intimation they had that
they were doomed was shower Of
grape shot from the artillery. They
were hemmcd in by soldiery on every
side. The gates OF the city were closed.
and were kept closed for two days. that
the work Of destruction might be as
complete as possible. More than this.
orders were sent through all the provinces
commanding the death Of any who
might have escaped from the city. Fif-
teen thousand were killed and 26. O0O
were cxpatriatcd, and the ianizaries
were abolished.
What n recollection Of that time the
last survivor, whose death is lust re-
ported, must have carried with him for
the threescoro and two years since -

The KIrmes.

The klrmes, or more properly kir-

A Unlnme Kitchen.


Mrs. III. ii. Robinson, who has ALWAYS
been identified with the Massachusetts,
woman suffrage movement, has very
unique kitchen. II is built of sheathed
hard pine, with raftcrs overhead and n
big closet at one end, the top Of which
forms shelf several feet from the roof.
On this shelf are grouped carthen vcs-
sells and stone pitchers, with two stone
idols, which she calls her ares and Pen
ates. The cooking utensils arc hung on
these kitchen walls in designs rs artistic
as the works of art in ladys boudoir.
Each article has place in the most con-
venient nook, and the whole room is n
model of laborsaving inventions and
neat, orderly housekeeping, while here
and there crops out pociical fancy or
old New England legend. In some con
venient place is pile Of note paper and
pencil, on which to iot thoughts tha:
come while washing the dishes or over
seeing the baking. Although on ac-
count Of the systematic arrangements Of
the household this modern priestcss
needs to spend but little time in her
kitchen, when she docs offer herself up
as n sacrifice there the result is such as
the gods would apprec ate were they to
banquet at her dining table. 49, C0m

aVowed the old man at white heat of
wrath. And then the clatter of hoofs
fe!l on their ears. Some traveller was
taking short cut across the gulch
The squire lifted his lantern and flung
the rays down the road.
1t was Paul Hildreth.
His face grew white when he saw the
trio, and noted that one was Gerard
Manning.
'Stop moment, Paul Hildreth, Pve
little account TO settle with YOU. -
cried the old man. advancing, his face
revealed, stern and solemn, in the weird
light. ln the sight of heaven you are
a murderer and l."
But the old squire was not permitted
10 finish the sentence. A horse suddenly
wheeled in the road, and dashed swiftly
from the spot.
The scoundrcll He must be inter
cepted," grated Mr.. Dane, moving
swiftly after the fleeting man.
Father, come back, " called Alma.
The old squire soon returned, realizing
the futility of the chase.
Il Will post him on tho morrow, aud
he shall not escape" muttered the in
diguant old man.
And then the trio climbed the hill.
and at easy stages made their way TO the
squire's home. OF course Paul Ilildrcth
did not show up, nor did Squire Dane
post him as he had promised, owing to
Manning's wish.
He may not have meant to murder
me, said Gerard, "but he would have
released me only after wedding Alma,

'For which / ann heartily ashamed.

returned the girl.
In after years Fenlow's Folly was

sides over the destinies of a growing
manufacturing village, owes his all, he
often asserts, TO his wile's bravery in
visiting the haunted ruin one night in
the long ago Yankee Blade.
