FEATURES OF LIFE IN THE YILOtZ KIOSK
1 Ilnrlinrotis Institution Itrerul ted
by Abduction, Purchase nml
slavery A Prison for
the Infinites.
The following description of the life led
by the Inmates of the most secret Institu
tion In the world is from a remarkable
book by M, George Dorys, "Tho Private
I. lfe of tho Sultan," a translation of which
1b soon to bo published In this country.
Not only has A 1x1 ill Hamld II endeavored to
have tho book suppressed In all the coun
tries of Europe where It appeared, but he
has also sentenced the author of It to death,
a sentence which Is not likely to bo carried
nut, as M. Doryn left Constantinople be
fore the book was published and Is now In
Paris Ito Is a son of the Into prince of
Samos, Mho was ono of the sultan's minis
ters, M. Dorys familiarity with the ex
traordlnary political world which ferments
around Ylldlz palaco Is such that he has
had unexcollcd opportunities for knowing
tho inmost secrets of the stiltnn'a court.
Few, nowadays, nro those pashas who,
ns much by tradition ns personal prcdcllc
tlon, Indulge In tho barbarous luxury of a
harem. It goes without the saying that
first among theso privileged beings Is the
Commander of the Faithful, Abdul Hamld
II, who, In fact, owns n living collection of
the most precious specimens of oriental
beauty. The curiosity aroused by this mya-
torlous word harem, the fugitive vision It
evokes of n falry-llko and unknown wortd,
unfortunately Is apt to make the western
mind forget nil there Is cruel and revolting
in this wholesale sequestration of young,
beautiful and ardent women, whose charm,
freshness and even their lives belong ab
solutely to one master a melancholy and
deformed old monomaniac.
Tho closest confinement rendering Impos
sible all communication with tho outside
world, a humiliating part to play, unques
tioning obcdlonco to tho most fantastic
whims of a feared and detested despot
such nro tho sad conditions In which tho
100 unfortunates of tho seraglio pass their
lives. Tho Ylldlz harem Is their entire unt
verso. They havo been brought thero ns
children, they nre guarded thero like n
wretched and valuable herd of cattle, ond
they llvo and dlo there, knowing nothing
of tho world outside their prison, without
the slightest notion of what life really Is.
PrnciirhiK Hccrdll,
The harem contingent Is recruited almost
exclusively among the several varieties of
the Circassian rnco, tho most beautiful In
the cast, but it Includes nlso specimens
of the Syrian nnd nouniollot races. Chosen
for their precocious grace, tho odalisques
nro almost all bought at a tender ago by
special ngcntB of the palaco undor tho
orders of the yesslrdjl-bachl, (grand
master of tho slaves) Hussein Etlendl.
Often, too, tho governors of tho provinces,
displaying n zeal that Is disapproved of
nowadays by all civilized Turks, abduct
beautiful young girls from their parents or
purchase them to present them to his ma
jesty, und tho cousins and aunts of the
sovereign nlso exert every effort to Hud
for him rnro beauties, and display a
friendly rivalry lu seeking tho pearl most
worthy to present to htm during tho llalram
festival.
When they cross tho threshold of tho
palaco 'ho new recruits admitted to the
Imperial harem must abandon and forgot
evorythlng their paronts, their relatives,
tholr homes, their very names. Existence
boglns anew for them. A special training
In all the arts of pleasing Is given to eacli
newcomer by tho bnch-kalfu (head slave)
under tho supreme control of the yalldo
sultana.
Thin course of Instruction Is qulto special
and Is Intended solely to dovclop In the
young beautlos of tho seraglio ovcry art
calculated to please tho most blase senses.
Grace In deportment, walk and gesture,
melodious singing, attractive dancing.

gentleness of expression everything, In
short, that nrt can add to tho natural charm
of woman Is taught by oriental experlonco

Special Instruction.
Generally this special Instruction lasts
two years and Is terminated by a solemn
examination presided ovor by tho valldo
sultana. Each of her pretty pupils must
then bo proficient In tho manner of wait

his favorltn bevorages. Sho must be fa

tlpatblos, his caprices and his manias he

rial notice. She has 300 companions In
tho harem possessing tho samo beauty,
having tho samo ambition, and among her
rivals there nro several favorites. More

It sometimes happens that tho pndlshjh
tnkes a caprice for some slave of tho sul
tana's, his relatives, or of tho prluccstcs
his daughters. Ono night when Abdul
Ha.mld gavo a ballet nnd danco In his harem
ho noticed among the dnncors a young

nity. Her mistress hastened to make her
tako tho traditional bath, nnd, surrounded
by her slaves, superintended at tho toilette
herself. Perfumed and adorned with
sumptuous ornaments, tho bride-elect,
thinking she was dreaming, got Into a
superb carriage, and, escorted by eunuchs
on horseback, arrived at Ylldlz. where Im
mediately Iho vallde sultana summoned
her to her presence and gave her the cus
tomary Instructions, However, notwith
standing tho precipitation with which thev
had brought her to the palace. It was only
on tho fourth day that Mcato Alcra was '
ushered Into' the presence of her mastor.
Whether his caprice had passed or tho
young girl appeared less beautiful, or that
ho no longor recognized her In her new
attire, his majesty frowned on seeing her
and snld in an abrupt and nngry tono:
"That's not tho one; send her away."
Trembling, burning with shnmo nnd
hurt to tho Inmost recesses of her dawning
pride, raised one moment to high to tall
again so low nnd In such a brutal manner,
tho poor girl was taken back to tho
Princess Zekklo. She became melancholy,
pined away and soon died.

Accordlug to tho religious law no Mus
sulman may marry more than four legiti
mate wives. In addition to theso four wives
tin mnv havo ns many slaves (dlarle) no his

are as legitimate as those of tho wives,
According to very nnclont custom tho sul.

leaving tho Imperial alcove tho gueuzdo
Is promoted to tho rank of Ikbal, (glorllled).
If tho Ikbal gives birth to a cnuu sue uo
comes kadlno, or lady and tnltes rank ns

a speclnl opartment nnd has a largo suite
of slaves nnd eunuchs attached to her per

tho doath of ono of tho first four wives of

honor her with tho title of kndlno-consort.
It would bo natural to supposo tnat tno
sultan, possessing so well populated a

reigns absolutely over tho harem. A

bo presented by the sultnn to a favorite or

Oaiden of Felicity" nnd bo In favor thero
1 sho must render services. This, In tho
slang of the harem, Is called "getting your
passport." Sometimes Abdul Hatnld dis
covers for himself what he desires to know.
Kor Instance, having noticed ono day a
young slave who was washing the hnndker
chrlfs of her mistress, a kadlnc, he took a
sudden fancy to her and had her brought
to his presence. Ho promised her tho rank
of princess on condition that ehe reveal
to him what tho ladles of the harem
thought of him. Thus encournged tho new
fnvorlto did not delay In sntlsfylng her
master's curiosity, nnd told him that tho
kadlne, his mistress, thought htm old and
foolish. Edified, Abdul Hamld placed tho
young slavo above her mistress, now dls
grnccd, eaylng: "Thus will I net toward
nil those who havo not In their hearts what
thoy have on their lips."

Tho ocrnglto of tho. Sultan Med J Id was
formerly the heater of lndoscrlbahlu or
gies, tho women being badly looked after
and having no hand to restrain them. His
successor, Abdul Aziz, Jealous ns n tiger,
Introduced reform, but the Imperial harem
has noer been conducted so strictly, so

Abdul Hamld prefers pretty and graceful

beauty. In this his tnsto differs from that
of moot Orientals, who havo a predilection
for majestic nnd heavy formi. Tho sultan

Dancing, In all tho forms that It nssumos
In the Orient, Is very popular In the harem
nnd Is tho principal mode of amusement
i Turkish dances to tho accompaniment of
timbrels, tambourines, or a chorus of
languorous voices, and Circassian, Egyptian
nnd Arabian dances. The favorites often
find nmuseniont In tho dancing of tholr
slaves. Otherwise they spend their tlmo In
real childishness, playing with mechanical
('.oils, or thoy nmuso themselves by Imitat
ing tho cries of animals, or else they will
smear tho faces of tho negrcss attendants
with flour, nnd put thorn up to all kinds of
tricks or excite them to quarrel nmong
themselves. Thoy nil lovo sweetmeats,
tobacco, flowers, perfumes, especially musk
nnd violet, of which the sultnn Is partic
ularly fond. They adoro Angora cnts, par
rots, doves, coffee, cards and suggestive
stories. They crnvo two things, being
women, hoe.iuso they nro prohibited wine
and rnkl, (an Oriental brandy made from tho
grapo) which tho kindness of a eunuch
sometimes procures for them.

Thoy form numerous llttlo cliques, each

cessant warfare, which often gives rlso to

vention of tho eunuchs. In fact, It requires
nil tho authority of his highness, Abdul

discipline and keep tho restive flock In

Tho request Is mndo of mo Hint I shall
endeavor to forecast tho real effect thut
my method or science, which romo nro
pleased to term Magnetic Healing und oth
ers Weltmcrlsm, will have on tho curing
of dlscaso. It would bo Idle to deny that
when I first nnnounccd my method of henl
lng diseases apprehension were felt In sci
entific circles nnd skepticism whs tho or
der of the dny. Tho renson of this was
that my method revolutionized the pre
vailing Idea of curing diseases, for tho
method which I havo originated us a drug,
loss medication, that Is, It heals ullllc-
Hons nnd cures diseases wltnout tno uso
of knife or medicines. At present elt-

HOW TO MAKU IMJI'I'' PASTIL
ncllcncv nnu Tomlcrncss iiepriKis on
Material anil the Cook.
As nastry cannot bo entirely excluded
from our menus, It Is expedient that wo
lessen Its harmful effects as much as pos
etble. Tough, hard and soggy pastry carries
as much disaster in Its train as its allies
tho half-baked, brood and biscuits. Puff
pasto Is tho least Injurious of tho pastries
or plo crusts, and when skillfully made and
wholeEomo and proper material used, u I
light, tender nnd not necessarily harmful
to one enjoying ordinary good digestion,
While tho amount of butter used, which
must bo of tho freshest nnd swectost qual
lty, puts It In tho class of luxuries fo
theso In moderate circumstances, it woro
wiser, even under such conditions, to In
dulse in this, If you must havo pie occa
slonally, rather than In tho ordinary pastry
found on our tables.
Why Puir Paste In More DlneXll.lo.

conclusion must bo that Weltmcrlsm pos

llnv to I'rocppil.
As wo havo ntatcd, tho first Important
point is to havo tno best materials. An
other feature equally Important Is that from
tho beginning until tho pastry kocs Into
thu oven It must bo very cold.
Unsaltcd butter Is best to uso If you can
got It; If not, the salt must bo washed out
In Ico water.
It is a llttlo dllllcult to mako puff paste,
not liming seen tho process, but whou
understood It Is really qulto simple. Ono
other point to remember Is thut you can
uot use tho puff paste as soon aa made.
It should stand at least twelvo hours In
a cold, dry place.
An ordlnnry piiBtry board can bo used,
itit It is much better to havo a stono
oastry slab, as It is always smooth and
will keep the pastry cooler. Havo a
umooth, hardwood roller or a glass or
porcelain pin; this should bo also chilled.
Fill a largo china mixing bowl with holi
ng water and let stand until cool; then
fill with ico water to chill; this provents
tho butter from sticking. Pour out this
ater and hulf fill the bowl with Ice
water and n umall piece of Ico. Tako a
half-pound of butter, put It In tho bowl of
Ico water and, holding It under tho wutor,
vork It thoroughly with both hands until
It Is smooth and clastic. Break off about
n otinco of tho butter and fold tho rest
In a floured cloth and lay on Ico to chill.
Have your slab well chilled and dry; heap
half a pound of flour, suitable for pastry, lu
tho center of tho slab. Mako n well lu the
center und put In this the small pleco of
butter, whlto of an egg nnd a scant half
tcnspoontul of salt, If butter Is fresh, un
saltcd. Now, with tho tips of tho fingers
ud thumb work theso together round
and round, Incorporating tho flour gradually
and moistening with enough Ico wntor from
tlmo to tlmo to mako a dough about the
consistency of shortcake (about a cup of

until all tho flour Is in and then knend or
work tho pnnto about on the slab until It
Is smooth nnd leaves tho slab clean and
freo and docs not stick to tho lingers. Tills
should bo dono without using any moro
flour than what was first placed on tho

Ing It Into small

but not too near
with n .llttlo flour;
pieces dot thm
of tho paste,
tho edge. Dust
lay tho other
portion of pnsto ovor tho butter; beat It
down lightly with tho roller so It will not
push off In rolling; then, starting gently
nt tho edge nearest you, roll out from you
In ono direction, Into n long, narrow, thin,
sheet. Do not press down heavily and uso
n knlfo and not tho hands or tinkers for
handling tho pasto; fold tho sides of tha
pasto In evenly toward tho conter; theu
ench end of tho pnsto entirely over to tho
center; then fold over ovonly onco moro.
Now you havo a square; turn this around
half wny nnd roll out again, nlwnys from
you; fold again; lay on n pinto ond set on
Ico for fifteen minutes; tako out, roll and
fold twlco again and put back on tho Ico.
Do this four times, rolling nnd folding eight
times in nil. Fold In n dry nHpkln nnl
plnco In tho rcfrlgerntor until tho next
day. Thla will keep for somo tlmo nnd
tho "ripening" process improves It. In
rolling tho pasto bo careful not to break
nny of tho air bubbles, as you depend on
tho nlr folded In tho pasto to make It light
and flaky. Tho heat of the oven expands
tho nlr, which, of course, pushes up tha
dough, separating It into tho tunny thin
lnycrs. It Is really a mothod of leavening
without using yenst or baking powder.
This pnsto mny bo used for mnny pur

('niiiieloiiN,
With a revival of many of tho old-tlma
dishes comes a fancy for theso formerly
known as Indylocks. Cut strips of paste
ubout an Inch wldo and roll around tho
floured stick or tin form mado for tho pur
pose. Tho edgo of tho pastry strip must
overlap and bo fastened nt tho lower end
by brushing tho end of strip with a llttlo
whlto of egg, but do not press down with
tho finger; when tho paste Is pressed to
gether with tho fingers It will not rlae.
Tho cannelons nro placed In n baking pan
with end of form renting on edgo of pan
and baked a delicate brown. As soon ns
they nro cool thoy will slip off the form
nnd tho centers nro filled with sweetened
whipped cream, preserves or Jelly.
Whipped cream and fruit pulp make i
nlco filling; strawberries and whipped
cream are delicious.
