The Russian Code of Honor.

Two young Russian officers attached
to the Orsk infantry regiment recently
1uarrellcd over their cups in a cafe
chantant at Orenburg, and one of them
struck the other across the cheek with
his open hand. The subalterns were
intimate comrades and the aggressor
made an ample and satisfactory apology
when he came to his senses. This was
cordially accepted by his friend, but
the regimental court of honor decreed
that the officers should fight and duel
was arranged with pistols at 20 PAGES.
The young lieutenant who had received
the affront and forgiven his friend was
hit in the thigh and crippled and conse-
1uently is untitled for further service.

He came out of the Polk street rail-

A QUEER PHOTOGRAPH.
Eject OF a Vivid Flash of Lightning Some
Years Ago.


Years Ago.
The universal popular interest in the
recent photographic discoveries recalls
peculiar incident that occurred in
Fairport several years ago, exciting
much local comment at the time, but so
generally regarded as simply an mex-
plainable "freak of lightning" that so
far as is known it was not referred to
any scientist for investigation. During
violent electric storm in early sum
mcr a frame house on the west side OF
West street, in Fairmont, was struck
by lightning, its chimney demolished
and some damage done to the inside OF
the house. 1t is also believed that a
tree in the yard near the house was
struck, but this cannot be accurately
stated.
In an upper front room of the house,
which was then nearly new one, was
blank white wall, opposite the two
windows which faced the street looking
eastward. On this blank wall was at
once found an exact picture Of the out
side front of the house, just as it APP.
peared from the street. The picture
was perfectand distinct as a photograph
on negative. The wonder was visited
by scores of persons, including the elder
pupils of the Fairport school, and for .
few days afforded topic of converse

lived the proverbial mine days" of a
popular wonder" 1t disappeared from
the wall without even, so far as is
known, being copied or its record kept

not that picture projected on the wall

or, in other words, was it not vcritable

mystery about it is that the outside OF
the front of the house should have been
delineated. Perhaps, however, even al
this early stage of this wonderful dis
covery, some of our scientists may be
able to explain the curious points, and
they are many, about this incident. still

rHE MOTHER OF a SULTAN.
She Ia Always a slave Until the Heir to
the Throne Is Born.


His majesty never condescends to go
through the ceremony Of Moslen
marriage. The women Of his harein
are divided into three great classes
the Kadines, who are isore or less
legitimate wives, though never official
ly espoused; the Ikabals, or favorites,
from among whom the Kadine are
usually selected, and the Guienzdes. lit
orally "the young ladies WHO are pleas
ant In the eyes" Of their master, who
may, in their turn, attain the dignity of
Ikabals. All of these women must be
of slave origin. The majority are
either purchased or stolen from Circas'
sian or Georgian peasants al avery ten
der age and in so mysterious manner
as to prevent all chances Of their rela'
tives ever tracing their whereabouts.
In nine cases out of ten, however, if the
lady does not rise to Importance her
identity is revealed to her kinfolk and
the chief object of her life becomes to
obtain rich places for them by fair
means or foul. The sultan of Turkey,
therefore, is invariably the son of o
slave woman. But the moment that
slave becomes the mother Of prince or
even a princess of the blood royal she is
set free and given imperial rank. As
an instance in point, many old residents
in Constantinople still remembers how
Sultan Mahmud LII. was smtten with Il
sudden passion for buXom Ham
mamiinah, or bathwoman, who, on be.
coming the mother of Abdul Medjid,
simultaneously became Kadine effendi,
and eventually rose to the supreme dig
nifty of "Valide sultan"
AS all good Mussulmans should have
four official wives, so the sultan has
four Kadines. Each bears her own dis
tinctive title and takes precedence ac-
cordingly. 1t was the Bach Kadine, OF
principal of these ladies', the sister OF
Zaki Pasha, all too well known for his
exploits in the Sassoun, who was re-
Gently enormously described as the sui
tana.
Three of the Kadines are respectively
denominated the Skindii-kadine. or sec
ond lady; the Artanie-Kadine, or mid
die lady, and the Kutchuk-Kadine, OIL
little lady. The fact that each of these
ladies must, according to Moslem law
have an equal court in every detail
from the mistress If the robes down K
the lowest scullion, and even to the
number of her ho,ses in her stable, ex
plains why some other female person
age of the imperial encourage must per
force be selected to hold the place ant
title usually allotted to the wife of {
homogeneous sovereign. This person
age, in the Turkish system, is always
the mother of the reigning sultan and is
known as the Valide sultan. Should
the sultan be motherless at the time o
his accession his foster mother takes
the position, this connection being con
sidered almostas sacred as the materna
one in the eyes of all good Moslems.-
