DESTRUCTION OF LIFE IN AN
GENT WARS.

Accustomed as we are 10 the effect.
of war in civilized times, when the mos
bloody contests are followed bv an in
crease in the numbers ofthe people, it i:
difficult 10 form a conception of the des.
olaton which it produced in barbarous
ages, wheh The void produced by the
sword is not supplied by the impulse oI
public tranquility. a few facts will
show its prodgious influence in former
ages. 1t is ascertained by an exact com
putatiou, that when the three great cap
itals Khorassa we're destroyed by Timour,
4,347, 900 persons we're put to the sword.
At the same time 100000 people were
slain in the city Of Monsul, which had
risen in the neighborhood of The ancieul
Ninevah; and the desolltion produced a
century and half before by the sack OF
Genghis Khan, had been at least as
great. Such were the ravages OF this
mighty con9ueror and his Mogul follow
ers in the country between tho Caspian
and The Indus, that they almost extermin.
ated the inhabitants, and FIVE subsequent
centuries have been unable TO repair the
ravages Of four years. An army Of 50O,-
900 Moguls. under the sons OF Genghis,
so completely laid waste the provinces
to the north Of the Danube, that they
have never since regained their former
number; and in the famine consequent
upon the Eruption of the same barbara
ans into the Chinese empire, 1900, 900
are computed TO have perished. During
the invasions of Timour, twelve Of the
most fourishing cities of Asia, including
Delhi, Ispahan, Bagdqd, and Damascus,
we're utterly destroyed; and pyramids Of
human heads, one Of which contained
10000 skulls, erected on their ruins
During thirty-two years of the reign of
Justinian, the barbarians annually made
an incursion into the Grecian empire,
and they carried off or destroyed at an
average on each occasion 100000 per-
sons. Nor was the depopulation of The
southern and western provinces less du-
ring the same disastrous period. In the
wars Of Belisarius in Africa, 5000, 900 of
its inhabitants are computed by a con-
temporary writer to have perished; and
during the contests between that illus
trious warrior and his successor Norset,
and the barbarian arms in Italy, the whole
Gothic nation and nearly fifteen millions
which followed those sanguinary contests,
carried offstill greater numbers than the
sword; and during the 6ftv-two years that
it desolated the Roman empire, II is said
to have destroyed hundred millions Of
inhabitants.--AIisoa's Principles Of Pop.

addition 10 this, the natives of the coun
try are rarelv emplOyed-never in Office

features Of the Mameluke and Turkish
rules are still in active operation. but the
method Of applying them is much more
ingenious, and the boasted civilization Of
Mehemet Ali amounts 10 this--fhat being

and that with the aid Of his European
instruments he has, if may say so, ap-
piled the screw with a master hand, and
from the wretches, under his
sway the very last drop of their blood.
Such is the state of these two coun.
tries. Syria is perhaps the worst of the
two; for the Egyptians used to such op-
preston, bear it without a struggle;
whilst the Syrians, who had been less
harshly treated in old times, writhe un-
der and gnsw their chain. Mehemet
Ali is now II years old.

PRESERVING APPLES.

Apples intended for long kscpinG
should be such as ripsn late, and If they
hold on we'll, as is usually the case with
those that riPen late, they should rsmsin
on the tree as long a. they Gsn safely
with regard 10 frost.
/ icy should I've gathered 10 clear, dry
weather. and IN the warm part Of the dsy,
and 1t The cellar be dry, it is better to put
them Immediately into il, that they mar
be kept close and cool, than TO put them
where they will be much exposed 10 the
air, aud TO the warm weather that ensues.
We have found by experiment that this
method is best, but ifthe cellar be damp,
the moisture will affect the apples, sspe.
cially while the weather is warm, and
there may be nothing gained BY putting
them into the cellar Immediately after
gathering.
Apples will keep better If they are en-
closed in a close box or cask, as al sub
stances, subject TO decay, deCOmpOse the
faster the more they are exposed. II aP.
pies could be enclosed in air tight casks
they will keep The better for it.
Various methods Of keeping apples
have been recommended. Many dry
substances are used that pack closely
around apples aud absorb the moisture
that cxudes from apples, and protect
them from the effects of moisture in tho
cellar. In some cases dry substances
have been used 10 preserve apples without
any good, when not well secured in q
close cask: as the dry stuff soon becomes
most in damp cellar, the apples are con.
tinualIy surrounded by q body which
causes their decay. ..
Apples are occasionally packed down
in layers with some Of the following sub.
stances, for the purpose Of preserving
them-Dry sand, fine cut straw, dry
brakes, grain Of any kind, aaxseed chat,
ground plaster, fine jOinerS shaVings, cot.
ton and other dry stuffs. Whatever 10
used should be pure and dry, and lrsO
flom any unpleasant odOr. Saw dust and
ground cork are excellent for preserving
grapes, and are doubtless good for saving
apples.
We have kept apples in a fine condi-
ion in the ground IN the manner of saw
ng potatoes, by buryiDg them below the
egiOn of The frost, enclosed iu straw or
'oards, in dry ground. The earth should
'e heaped up at the top and beaten close
o throw off the wafer, and. it is best to.
ay some boards over the top. Apples
,eep better in this way when there Is but
small quantity in one place.
Apples have been so we'll kept in puI-
erised plaster that they were as fair the
exl summer as when taken from the
rec.
Apples packed closely IN any Of the
bove substances will be less likely TO
reeze, and may on that account be kept
q cooler place, and this will cause them
o keep better; the colder apples can be
cpl without freezing the better they
'iIl be reserved.-Y Yankee Farmer.

Weekly newspapers can be had at from

MORTALITY IN LoNDoN.--The number
Of deaths from all causes for the week
ending the 18th September 1910, ,wasS5T.
The average weekly number for the year
1888 was 1913. The population as ena-
meated in 1884 was l,491;69O. The
average weekly number for the year 1898,
was Obtained by dividing the deaths req.
istered in that year by 50. In comparing
it with the weekly deathsin 1910, il .Qust
bO born in mind that the metropolisG
