Gus exception has been made in their
case. While they have special bar
racks fitted up for them in Constan-
tinople they are permitted in times of
peace TO remain In their own noun
tains, where they are authorized to
act as police. The effect Of this is to
give them absolutely unlimited OPP
portunity to plumber with the result
of bringing into bold relief the worst
elements in the Kurdish character.
While the Kurds are NIoslems in re-
ligion, and largely under the influence
Of dervishes, no sense of religious duty

interest has proved comparatively
easy one. This is due to the fact that
Victor Hugo was not only a great au-
thor, but was also an artist-and par
ticularly a carlcaturist--of talent, and
wood carver and cabinet-maker Of
skill. The house In the Place des
Visges is, therefore, filled with inter-
esting relics of the master. One that
is regarded with the greatest respect
is the writing table at which he wrote
nearly all his masterpieces. This is In
Louis XIII. style, and Is very high,

its associations. This is the one on
which are placed four inkstands and
four pens. These belonged to Lamar

Probably the most interesting part
Of the museum is the furniture made

Horrible Crimes
Perpetrated by the
Sultan BaShi-
BazoukS>~z~z$

There is no political turmoil in Tur-
key in which the Bashi.Bazouks are
not permitted and encouraged to take
the star role In the bloody drama or
affairs. SO thoroughly is this recog-
nized that their name has come to be
synonymous with bloodshed, their
presence the gruesome forerunner or
a certain harvest Of death. Even
among the Turks themselves their COM
mon designation has come to be
"Black Mora" devil Of the night, and
the most obdurate and refractory child
Quails and becomes obedient at the
mere whisper of that awful name.
Although known as irregular sol
oilers or guerillas, and paid solely by
the plumber they are always sure to

geance upon any Of his Christian sub.

that reduced that fair island OF gar
dens to ashes, while 25OOO people met
death in a single day and 10000 women
and children We're carried Off and sold
as slaves, to the scandal Of Christen-
dom.
In the Turkish war with Russia in
1877 thousands Of Bashi.Bazouks were
transported from their homes In the
highlands Of Asia and turned upon
the helpless Christian population Of
southern Bulgaria, massacring over
10000 Of them in the month Of June
alone. II was at this time that whole
large school Of children were killed at
once and the bodies Of the victims, to.
gether with the school house, burned
by the destroyers.

with Martini rifles by command Of the
Sultan, though In defiance of the Ber-
lin treaty, who began the awful Ar
