Many are not aware of the fact that relief work to the extent of not less than $100, (00 already has been successfully carried But In Turkey during the past three months. It seems Incredible that while the Turkish government Is permitting luch relief work It should exclude the Red Cross society. " Cvllem ob Armenia. Washington, Jan. 14. Renator Cullom, who Is a member of the senate committee on foreign relations and chairman of the ubcommlttee on Armenian affairs, says that he did nut see what action the United States could take In the matter of the exclusion of the Red Cross from Tur key. An government, he ears, has the right to exclude any or all persons from Its territory. It Is a tight which all nations reserve, the United States as well aa oth- 1 era. Neither by legislation nor executive order could the United States eompel Tur key to admit the Red Cross soolety. Senator Cullom says that there Is little that congress can do In the matter of Ar menian outrage except to express In em phatic terms Its horror of the outrages per petrated and direct the secretary of state to communicate the action to the Turkish government. Senator Cullom has had no conference with Secretary Olney on this subject. Miss Rebecca Krakorlan, anArmenlan, called aa Senator Cullom and made a statement of the conditions existing there. She claimed that this government should stop the slaughter of Armenians. The mlasionalrea who have been sent to Ar menia, she argued, have taught the people Christianity and thereby made their pupils the subjects of Turkish hatred. .M lee 9ttoa Makes a statement., .

BUILT THE WRONG WAY. Why the Quaker's Chester Bogs Took No Prise la Georgia. 'I never shall forget an incident which occurred at the first fair I ever attended in Georgia," said a retired Cincinnati meat packer. "It was at Macon, and I think they culled it a state fair. At any rate it was a big thing for the town in those days. Tbey had some fine stock on exhibiion, and a Pennsyl vanian bad tent down about SO of the finest looking hogs yon ever saw. Tbey were mostly Chester Whites, and if I recollect aright they Were exhibited by Thomas Wood, a great bog and cattle fancier of 20 and 80 years ago. He it was who introduced that famous breed of hogs, the Chester White, and he made a great deal of money ont of his fancy stock. He was a Friend a Qua ker, yon know who used the plain lan guage and wore a broad brimmed hat. tie was a smart old gentleman, nonest and prosperous. He sent his hogs from state fair to state fair, end they took so many prizes and blue ribbons that each bog looked like a boy who bad spent all his money making a collection of badges. When the Macon judges made their awards, they gave bine ribbons very lib erally to the razor backs, but not one of the fat, sleek Pennsylvania bogs got a prize. The owner of the exhibit did not understand it, so he hunted up one of the judges and said in the language of the Friends : " 'I know thee to be on honest man, and I do not question tby fairness in the award, but to gratify my own cariosity I would be glad to have thee tell me why thee gave all the prizes to the na tive stock and what fanlt thee found in mine?' " 'My friend, the committee admired your bogs greatly,' the judge replied. 'Tbey are certainly handsome, and I have no doubt that in your section they are the best breed to raise, bnt they are not suited for this country. They are so short legged and fat that a nigger could catch them in two minutes. What we require in a hog in the south is legs and wind. We give our prizes for speed. ' " Atlanta Constitution. WATER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL, Terrlnc Ceeuhat Which Finally Ended la . the Bel's sTeeepe, "Did yon ever know that there is a deadly antipathy between a common water snake and an eel?" asked the fisherman. "Well, I never knew it un til an experience that I had in witness ing a fight between the two. Personally I have the greatest dread of eels. I'm mora afraid of them than I am of a snake, and you can imagine my chagrin when I happened to hook one on one of my fishing expeditions. I was afraid to touch it, and all I could do was to let it dangle in the air. I could not get it off my book, and I was meditating what to do, wben, altogether unnoticed, I allow ed the slimy object to drop down into the water. "In a moment I saw a big water snake make a dive for it At the first lunge it caught the neck of the eel squarely between ita toeth, and I could sea it sink its ugly looking fangs into the eel's flesh, I waited anxiously to see the developments. With its grim hold still on the eel's neck the snake, quick at it takes to tell it, wrspped its sinu ous body around its antagonist's neck in an effort to squeeze it to death. The body of the eel was too sleek, however, and the snake's coils, despite all it could do, would slip down into the water, Time and time agaiu it tried to squeeze the life out of its antagonist, never fur an instant releasing it holdos the eel's neck, bnt the body of the latter was too sleek fur it sod every time it would slip down. Finally the hook broke and the eel made good its escape. ludiauapo lis Sentinel. A CAR'S ESCAPADE. IT STARTED A NEW BREED OF CAT TLE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY. Coe Little's mils and Bis Train raited ta Agree When lie Reached Port Jervis. The Explanation Offered For the Car's Strance Freak. "It. isn't likely that there is any of the Coe Little breed of cattle left in tbe Upper Delaware valley," said a veteran railroad mnn, "because, by this time, their identity must have been destroyed though mixture with other breeds. It doesn't matter, fur there was nothing of particular note about that breed of cattle, except tbe way they happened to be introduced into that locality. "In those days live stock transporta tion was one of the Erie's big items of traffic. Trains half a mile long, loaded with horned cattle, hordes, sheep and hogs, used to pass over the road two or Ihrre times a day. Such a thing is al most a curiosity nowadays. (Joe Little was conductor of one of these stock trains between Susquehanna and Port Jervis. Be left Susquehanna one night, in those good old days of railroading, with a long train of cattle cars. Those trains were next to passenger trains in class, and were run over the road a-buni-niiug. Conductor Little delivered his train at Port Jervis on time, and hand ed over his way bills, which be had re ceived at Bnsquehanna, and on which the number, character and contents of very car in his train were recorded. When tbe agent at Port Jervis compared Little's train on this voucher, one oar was missing. The car was entered on the way bill as having left Bnsquehanna all right, but it wasn't in the train. Its place, according to the bill, waa about in the middle of the train. "Well, here was a sitnntion. Coe Little declared that every car was in the train when he left Susquehanna, for he had checked the number of each one on the way bill himself. He certainly hadn't delivered the missing car to any one on the way, and be oouldn'tseehow any one could have sneaked in and sto len it, especially as the train had been on the move pretty much all the time between Susquehanna and Port Jervis. A telegram was sent to the agent at Sus quehanna, asking for information about the mii-mng car. The reply waa that nothing was known there that could throw any light on the subject; quite the contrary, for the agent corroborated Little's report. The car was in the train when it left Siisquohunna. "During the efforts of the puzzled railroad men nt Port Jervis to solve the mystery of the lost car, some one dis covered that the car that should have been just behind the missing one was lonpled to the one that should have been just ahead of it without the aid of a coupling pin, tho link being broken in such a way Hint it had become a hook, which was fust in the pinhole iu the coupler of the other cur. This didn't help matters a little bit, aud rather deepened tlio mystery. "They were still deep in efforts to solve the mystery, and a car tracer was about to be sent back over tbe road to see if he could find the car, when a tele gram came from Shohola, a station 16 miles west of Port Jervis. The agent at that station said in effect that some body's cattle car was astray in a field along tbe Dc'.ware river just beyond Bhobola station, and that somebody bad better come aud look after it The wrecking gang was sent np from Port Jervis, and, sure enough, in the middle of a field, 100 feet or more from the railroad, stood the missing cattle car, right as a trivet, except that ita doors were open and its cattle gone. To get where it was the car had rnn down a ten foot embankment, across a wagon road and through a stout rail fence. "There was only one way to explain the freak of tbe car iu quitting its train to unceremoniously. Going east along that part of the Erie the track is on a heavy down grade. Just before reaching Shobola the coupling pin that held the car to the one ahead of it must have broken. This divided the train in two parts. The head car of tbe rear part jumped the track, and breaking the link that held it to the car behind it, went on down the bank, getting out of the way of the cars following on tbe track. "When the leading section of - the di vided train got to the foot of the grade, its speed slaokened. The bind section caught up with it, and ran into tbe rear car, but not with force sufficient to do any damage or attract attention. The broken link, then a hook, happened to fall into the pinhole of the coupler ahead of it. The train waa thus reoou pled and went on to Port Jervis without the loss of a car right out of Its very center having been discovered by any one. There is no parallel to this one in the record of mishaps to railroad trains, and it has never ceased to be a wonder to all old time railroad men. "Well, whether the doors of the fugi tive car were broken by the jar and jolt of its trip down the bank, through the fence, and across the lot, or whether the cattle inside kicked them open, I can't say. They were open, and the cattle jumped out. It waa winter, and tbe Delaware river, only a few feet away, was filled wit h running ice. The cattle must have been in a panic, or must have known that they were in Pike county. Pa., or something of that sort, for tbey plunged into that icy flood and made their way across the river into Sullivan county, N. Y. Searchers, accompanied by the drover who owned them, found snd recovered them all One cow, a deep red animal with a white star in ber fureheud, took the funcy of a farmer on whose premises some of the cattle were found, and he bought her. She bad twin calves in the spring, each marked exactly like the mother. One was a bull calf, one a heifer. Because of the way iu which the stock happeued to be there it was called the Coe Little breed, and for some years was a favor ite breed among the farmers of that part tf tbe valley."

Regulations That Guided Soldiers In the Sixteenth Centnry. "The Pathwaie of Martinll Disci pline" (1B81), by Thomas Styword, is full of plates and abounds in quaint re marks. Giving the duties of a provost marshal, we find: "He shall according to the lawes punish all offenders with ont regard or respect of persons, and in the market place shall set up a pair of gallows, both for the terror of the wick ed and for execution upon them that of fend the lawes. That he shall set upon all viotnalls brought to the maiket a reasonable price, that the seller and the buyer may reasonably live by it." In the offlceof coronel (or colonel the two terms seem to have been introduced at the same time, but the latter beoanje the favorite), after mentioning his appoint ing of as many captains as is needful, giving 800 men to a company, "which is a convenient number," for if tbe men are divided into smaller companies too mnch money would be spent on the offi cers. With regard to the lieutenant, he is to be "of great experiences, qualities and behavior. " "The coronel shall also examine the selections that the captains have made of all the officers throughout their companies, and if they be such as ought to be, or not much worse he may allow them, and not otherwise." Before firearms drove ont all other weapons it was an object to equalize the strength of the company, "the shot" (as the musketeers came to be called) supplementing the pikes. All the com binations of meu fur drilling which are given by various authors illustrate this; thus for the defense from horsemen ; "Place tbe ranks of pikes every way, your shot next unto them, your bills (or halberds) and ensign in the midst, the pikes ends couched down the better to resist the enemy. " All kinds of dodges are taught thus: "If in sight of tbe enemy, which is su perior In numbers, the front rank of pikes shall spread out so as to admit the men of the second rank iu the open spaces. But if the enemy manifest a real intention of attacking, aud then be no place of refuge near, tho second rank shall return to their plnces, and all shall serrie close together. The shot shall be placed iu the vowurd and rear ward so that thry may skirmish and re tire as occasion serveth. " Gentleman's Magazine. White Honse of the Confederacy.

THE OUTCAST OF CHURCH ISLAND IN GREAT SALT LAKE. lie lias Fnr Tears Lived the Life of a Wild Man and Rarely Bees a Human Being Tlranded Fnr Robbing the Deed by Order nf Governor Brlgham Tonng. In the center of the Great Salt lake In Utah is a large body of land known s Chnrch island. This land consists of monntnins and valleys, wilh trees and vegetation, and has always been used as a herrlirg ground for cattle belonging to the Mormon church. Bevernl years . ago the water on tbe east side of the is land was shallow and caltle could be I driven across easily, but now tlie water is deep and everything must be convey ed to and from (lie land in boats. A dis tance of about fivo miles covered with i salt water must be gone over by canoes J to get to or from the island. On this! famous spot, amid millions of pelicans, sea gulls and other fowls, wanders a lonely old man, without olothiug and! devoid of language r any of the in-1 stincts of humanity. He was banished years ago by tho Mormon church on the J charge of robbing the dead. Jean liiiptistn wns a Frenchman who; came to Unit Lake City a young man i nearly 40 rears ago. He grew up among (he sninls, and, after marrying, was made sexton of the small cemetery. His duties were light and his remuneration correspondingly small. He resided in a lit t In caliiu on the mountain side over looking the city, and spent his time, when not employed in the cemetery, in collecting junk and trading and traffick ing Willi n few Jewish secondhand clothes dealers who had the hardihood to enae iu business among the Mor mons. A regiment of United States troops was then camped near the city, and the gentiles engaged in business were assnred protection. Tho little Frenchman was an avari cious mini nud was noticeable because of his picking up every cast away arti cle and canying it to his home. Old dry goods boxes, barrels, tin cans and other pucking articles cast away by the soldiers were eppecially well cared for by Jean Bnptiste, the sexton. He dress ed as a scavenger and resembled the modern suloon loafer, who is always searching the slums for barrels and box es of garLnge and cast off garments. The actions of the sexton created some comment, and not a little curiosity was aroused among people who had oocasioo to visit his residence on the mountain side, over the city. One day Joan appeared on the streets dressed in an elegant suit of broadcloth. A few days befure a wealthy stranger had died and wns buried in the ceme tery. The suit in which the body wns drt ssed resembled that worn by the sex ton. An examination was ordered, and tho corpse was found to have been rob bed of its clothing. A committee wait ed npon the sexton and made a most Btartling discovery. The graveclothes of over 200 persons were found in the baskets and boxes stowed away in his ghoulish cabin.

The boxes of clothing were emptied and the contents taken to 1 H.flfilttli tha il,i a v. tlw. 1. liOVA . l,il,l Elegant silk dresses, at that time a luxury even to the rich, were found in the various bundles. The man was ar rested and cast into jail, pursued by a mob who sought his life. Brigliuiu Young, then governor and geueial dictator in Utah, ordered the uiiiu to be branded with a hot iron aud banished to Church island. During the quiet hour of midnight Jean Baptifte wns takeu from the jail, and his whole forcheud was retired with tbe following inscription: "Branded For Robbing the Dead.' Two men escorted tbe quiver ing, naked form from the oity of venge i mice. A canoe was entered near the city, and the doomed prisoner was taken in chains to the island which in future wus to bo his hunie. Without olothiug or food he wns landed upon the shore, the boat returned to the mainland, and the ghoul remained a hopeless exile. He could not leave the island, because in stant death would follow should he be seen by any of the inhabitants of the Mormon land of Zion. He was forced to sock food and shelter amid wild ani mals, the birds and reptiles. Tbe isluud was sooii known as the land of banishment People shunned its shores as they would a haunted house. j M"1?

Even tbe fearless cowboy has ever refused to intrude npon tbe home laud of the exile. Wild horses roam over its acres of broken canyons, rugged cliffs and grassy meadows. The sea gulls and other birds find a borne un disturbed on the deserted shores. AH the natives, including Indians, warn newcomers of the fate of scores of pleasure seekers who have been drifted upon the shores of the fated island. The crags, bluffs, dark caverns and lonely Canyons warn every boatman nearing the shore to keep away from tbe hidden dangers. In a dark cave about half a mile from tho shore lives the wild man. His home is strewn with tbe wrecks of boats, bones of victims and other can uibalistio indications. Away back in the deep darkness of the cavern is his sleeping place, made of clothing strip ped from unfortunate victims ship wrecked on the fatal shore. A collection of loaves, grasses aud branches from the trees of the island forms the foundation for the bed, in which this human mon ster epends muit of his time.

It Penetrates M-inv 8iliil4, Among Them Aluminium, Oreat propres has already been made with l'rofessor Koutgeu'R wonderful dis covery of a new light, if that be a proper description of it, which I cabled a few days ago. Frofcsor Klupathy of the Pesth university has obtained even greater succono in photographing con cealed objects. lio also varied the ex periments by inclosing .objects to be photographed in it variety of coverings. It has been ascertained that the light from Crook o's tube penetrates not only organic matter, but also one metal, aluminium. Frofcssor Rontgen has sent rays of the new chemical light through aluminium plates an inch thick, aud they went as clean through as if the sub Stance hud been gluts. The same was tbe case with two sets of books, includ ing many volumes. There he placed be tween a Crooke's tube aud au ordinary compass. Behind them was a wooden case with dry plate, and tho result was as complete a photograph of the compass as is possible. It is poiliapa do photograph in the or dinary sense, because no lenses are used. It is not a negative, but a positive plate that is obtained. Loudon Cable New York Saa. LOVE FOUND A WAY. Svaa a Bulldog and Coal Tar Conldnt llalk These Lovers. John Watson Bines, a young farmer of Wolcott, N. ., after an ardent court ship asked early lust week for the hand of bis sweetheart, Miss Emma Eileen Beon, daughter of Joshnu U. Boon, a neighboring farmer, und was nearly kicked out of the house. On Friday night the lovers prepared to elope.- Mounted ou a barrel, youug Hinea helped his sweetheart from her chamber and then fell into the burrcl, covering himself witb tho contents, liquid coal tar. Forth rushed Pa Beon at the sound, followed by Kueciu.-ko, his faithful and ferocious bulldog, und tliey chased the pair into the barn, w here Iliues' buggy was concealed. The dog was boosted iu through a hole and attacked the lovers, but he was speedily killed with a few well directed strokes of a pitchfork. Then Pa Boon stormed, swore and shiv ered, for he was iu his thin nightrobe, till the cold wind and liio snow under his bare feet forced a compromise. The whole party returned to tho house, and the wedding wus urruuged fur Christ inas, after which tho old man wus put to bed, from which he lias not since risen.

AND,?, mm BARN CELLARS. A Maine Farmrr Correspondent Gtvs Tlews on the SulOrrt -Raving Mannre. I regard bnrn cellars eg indispensable. Under no circumstances would I think of getting along without one. With me the first consideration is the making and saving manure, mid thevulne of the liquid manure, e-pccially since fanners are generally buying so much western feed, is well known. It is true much of this could bo saved by a liberal use of absorbents. The farmeis in the state of Maiuo nro few nml fur between who systematically u;o iilinilirnts the year round in quantity Mir.U'ipn; to save the most of the liquid iiiniiuro. Many intend to doit. Snmo do it when they get time. If I wns called npon to state tho greatest loss the farmers of this state suffered from any one cause, I should fin? the waste of liquid iu;i:iure and tho leaching of themiinnro heap! both of which would be saved by the rti-o of n barn cellar. Sheds are often built over tlie manure heap to prevent k uching. These are very objectionable. As the tie np in always supposed to be huilt on the sonny side of tho burn, more and larger windows urn being put in to let in tho sun, for tho comfort and health of the cr.ttle. Tho windows of my tie up are nearly continuous, and I find I have niado a mistake in not making them three lights high in lcud of two. Now n shed over the manure heap hides the sun. Some of my neighbors, whoso tio tips aro on tho south side of their barns, have niuiinio shods. While most of (lie time (taring tlie cold weather, in the day time, my tie tip in light and warm from tho great amount of sun shine, theirs are always dark and damp. With me tins is also an important con sideration. Many of I lie objections to burn cellars arise from the fi.ct that so many such cellars are faultily constructed. Sunlight and ventilation are as essential to tho barn collar as elsewhere. Largo windows snd enough of them should let in the sunlight. Thorough drainage should keep the cellar perfectly dry. And it is an easy mutter to ventilate it if it is properly constructed. A Cheap Paint. A method of painting farm building and country houses, whilo l.y no nieuus new, is yet so little, known and so de serving of wider application as lo war rant n description, says an exchange. The paint has but two p iris, botli cheap mati rials, being water linio or hydrau lic cement and skimniiik. Tho cement is placed in a bucket, and the skim milk, sweet, is gradually added, stir ring constantly, until just about the consistency of good ereiuii. Tho stirring must be thoroughly dono to have an even flow-, and if too thin the i mixture will rnn in the building aud look streaked. The proportions cannot bo exactly stated, bnt a gallon of milk requires a full quart of cement nml sometimes a little more. This is a convenient quantity to mix nt n time for one person to use. If too much is prepared, the cement will settlo nnd harden before nil is used. A flat paintbrush about 4 inches wide is the best implement to use with this mixture. Lay it on exactly as with oil paint. It can bo applied to wood Work, old or new, and to brick and stone. When dry, tlie color is a light creamy brown, or what some would cull a yellowish stone color. This skimmilk cement paint, well mixed, without add ing color, has a good body, gives smooth, satisfactory finish on either wood or stone nud wears admirably. Try it. Cottonseed Mrn.1 Stji liean Meal. A brief report on an experiment to compuro cot tonser d meal and soja bean meal ou two lots of four cows each in alternating periods of throe weeks comes from tlie Massachusetts Hutch station: The cows on tho soja bean meal gave rather tlie most milk. Tho cottonseed butter was of firmer texture than the other, but was, by tho verdict of three families working independently nnd Without knowledge of tho nature of the difference between the samples, decided ly inferior to thut made from the soja bean cream. Tho latter wus of a higher color and much nnno agreeable texture and flavor. The cottonseed butter had a greasy feeling in (ho mouth, while the other wus of agreeable texture. A larger percentage of the total fat iu tho milk was recovered in tho cream from the cows fed on cottonseed meal.lhan iu the cream from those fed ou bean lucuL It would appear from this experiment that the soju beau meal is superior to cotton teed meal as a food either for milk or butter production. The Tuberculin Test. Tuberculin injected thrco times into healthy cows during a period of years bus hud no ill effects at the Penn sylvania experiment station. "Since tu berculin contains neither the living germs nor deud ones," Dr. Pearson shows thut it cunnot introduce tubercu losis into a healthy animal, but admits that tuberculin may start into activity latent tubercles that otherwise might remain harmless for jcars. Dr. Pearson regards tuberculin as au almost infalli ble test, but in Massachusetts, whore it . has been most extensively used, says The New England Homestead, ubout 10 per cent of the money paid by the state for cuttlo killed is for animals which proved to be heulthy. News atltl Notes. The potato crop iu the United States is tlie largest ever grown. Tho yitdd of sweet potatoes, boili smith and north, whilo large in '.lie aggregate, is uuovcu and not especially distributed. Tbe cranberries lire likely to cost nearly as much this year us the turkey. The Russian thistle bus come eust. Muskmeluns fur winter use muy be obtained in two ways by forcing them under glass aud by growing the long keeping varieties iu the fluid. Iu the greenhouse try lettuce in thumb pots. If the garden was afflicted with weeds and insects the past -season, plow it now and expose to Ihe air qiid frost. Woman's Weakues.
