that it brings her infinite, comfort and

illness which has kept her from tho

stay abroad sho mado a careful study
of the conditions of Armenia, and
more especially of tho women of that
crushed and unfortunate land. " Her
literary connections gavo her tho ao
cess in London and clsowhcroto libra
rics and archives bearing upon tho
topic, and by good fortune as well as
careful endeavor she managed to make
tbo acquaintance and win the friend
ship of Armenian colonies in London
aud elsewhere. She took abundant
notes and secured a largo amount of
very valuable literary material. Upon
her recovery, she will probably write
a scries of very exhaustive articles
upon tho topio with a view to their
subsequent publication in book form.
Tbo oppressions practiced by the
Turks and Kurds in Armenia have
driven thousands, and even tons of
thousauds, of poople to other lands.
The expatriation has resulted in tho
establishment of Armenian colonies in
nearly every large European city, and
a very numerous colony iu London it
self. Most of theso exiles belong to
the better classes of the race, and in
their flight took with them family
records, church documents, ancient
archives and much of their .National
literature. It is possiblo to-day to

material respecting Armenia at first

o sobriety und cleanliness, ho added this
urlotis paragraph, which was recently,
printed iu tno sisgaziue ot American un

"In addition to the foregoing, the senior

that every soldier or ranger who shall bs
found drunk or sensibly Intoxicated after
the publication of this ordor be compelled,

grave af a suitable burying plaoe, large
enough for his own reception, as such grave
cannot till soon to be wanted tor the drunken

This order is given ns well to serve for the
punishment of drunkenness as to spare good

graves for thejr worthless companions.

Master ol Ono Art.
Of ono art tbo Boor is master the
management of oxen in wagons. It Is
nu art which is littlo understood or
despisod by most white men, except
Dutchmen ; but, for nil that, it is an
art, and tho Uoers practice it to rnr
feetion nnd lovo it.
I havo seen a span of oxen hopeless
ly stuck in tho middle of a rapid riv

chain, tbo wngon apparently a fixturo
un(Tl tho river should come down
stronger and sweep it away. Two
liners opprnrod, nnd, n,s they usually
will, if civilly nskod, gavo their help.
They walkod up and down tho span,
nnd changed the places of nearly all
tho oxen ; Biioh a ouo was evidently a
whcolor, an after ox; another, from
bis marks, was iiccustomoJ to pull on
the other side ; another must bo put
further up or further down tho span.

with a mighty clap from their whips,

it pulling straight, and iu two minutes
tho wugou was standing ou tho other

family laxative, Nyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, nnd in
everywhere, estocmivl so highly by nil
whovahio good health. Its beneficial
effects arc duo to the fact, that it is tho
ono remedy wbieli promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it nets. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bone
lieiiil effects, to note when you pur

fornia Fig Syrup Co. only nud sold by
nil renutnlilo ib lliTirists.
If in tho fiiiovinent of pood health,
nnd tho system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies nro then not needed. If
afflicted with nny nctunl disonso, one
may bo commended to tho most skillful
physicians, but, if in need of n bixntivo,
