The Mississippi and the whole river sys-

AN ARMENIAN VILLAGE.

A correspondent of the London Netcs,
while riding toward the headquarters of
the Turkish army on the Soughanlu
range, suddenly felt his horse sinking
beneath him, and In another instant he
was enyeloped in cloud OF dust and
spIinters. He had fallen through the
roof of house into an apartment where
a family was breakfasting. An Arme-
MAN village from distance resembles
the heaps OF refuse one sees around iron
smelling works. Here and there a cou-
pie Of feet Of dry stone wall and cave
like entrance suggests the possibility of
the existence Of human dwellings. Be-
tween these dwellings the spaces are
carpeted with an elastic layer Of dung
and ofial five or six feet thick. Huge I'M
calmly buffaloes, with bodies like bisons
and the eye Of an octopus, low and moan
standing mid-leg deep In the filthy
paths. Turbaned men are perched here
and there like storks on the house tops
pulling their boards and giving the
who&s~lDlace q scriptural appearance.
Calves, dogs and fowls wander promis-
cuously among the chimney-pots, and
now and then dark. eyed, olive faced
woman cones stealing slyly by, her face
half averted from the gaze Of a Gaour
and partly concealed by the folds of her
headdress. The gloomy interior Of one
OF the houses or earth heaps Ia forty
feet In length, and fs divided into two
compartments by a low boarded parti-
ton four feet high. That next the door
is devoted to horses and bufaloes-the
inner space affords accommodation to
travellers. A little terrace of beaten
earth, six inches above the tAoor, tanks
both sides Of the room. at Is covered
with coarse, rush mating, and consti-

Day-Mare

During the intensely hot summer of
1925 Says philosopher), | experienced
an attack of day-mare. Immediately
after dining, threw myself on my back
upon a sofa, and before | was aware,
was seized with difficult respiration,
extreme dread, and utter incapability
of motion or speech. | could neither
move nor cry, while the breath came
from nv chest i'm broken and suffoca-
ting paroxysms. During all this time
| was perfectly awake; / saw the light
glaring in at the windows in broad
sultry streams: | felt the intense heat
of the day pervading my frame: and
heard distinctly the different noises in
che street, and even the ticking of my
own watch, which had placed on the
cushion beside me. / had, at the same
time, the consciousness of flies buzzing
around, and settling with annoying
pertinacity upon my face. During the
whole fit, Judgment was never for a
moment suspended. / felt assured that
labored under species of incubus.
| even endeavored to reason myself out
of the feeling of dread which filled my
mind. and longed with an insufferable
ardor for some one TO open the door,
and dissolve the spell which bound me
in its fetters. The fit did not continue
above five minutes; by degrees l re-
covered the use of speech and motion;
and as soon as they were so far restored
as to enable me to call out and move my
limbs, il wore insensibly away.

Adjournment of Home.


Money which goes TO buy a picture,
statuette, or tasteful bracket for adorn-
ment, is all wisely spent. If young
people just starting in life, after having
secured the few articles of furniture
that must be had, and made sure that
they are what they ought 10 have, and
if they have some money left to get a
picture, an engraving, or cast, they
ought TO work TO get this cast, they
ought to work to supply this want as
seriously as the other, which seems
more necessary, but which Ia in reality
not bit more necessary. The general
character of a home will make a great
difference to the children who grow up
in it, and to all whose experience is as
sociated with it, whether il be beauti-
full and 4 cheerful one, or a merely
formal and conventional one. The re-
lation of these things to education is all
that gives dignity or poetry 10 the sub
ject, or makes ii allowable for a reason
able man to give much thought TO it.
But it has a real relation TO life, and
plays an important part In education,
and deserves 10 be thought about a
good deal more than 1t is. Seeming
trifies like this make life either happy
or miserable.

Conversation.

Three subjects of conversation are
specially dangerous to the comfort of the
listener-servants, children, and per-
sonal ailments. If circumstances COM
bine to launch you upon either OF these
topics, dear reader. beware! remember
that your children's perfection and do
mestic's faults may possess less inter-
est for your friends than for yourself,
while catalogue of your aches and
pains should be kept for your physi-
clans ear. Who has not fidgeted under
this last affiiction, when some matter Of
fact individual has conscientiously gone
through fever for our benefit, and re
tailed all the changing symptoms with
aggravating carefulness. > Even the
kindest sympathy is not proof against
such exhaustive treatment, and the
habitual complainer finds himself, or
herself, sedulously Stunned.
Doubtless, the more unselflsh we
strive to be, and are, the more accepta-
BILE and interesting we shall prove TO
our friends.

Lessons I'm POlfteness.

According TO the author of Ia PolitsSss
Frdncdise, work recently published in
Paris, gentleman, when he gives his
hand TO a friend, must press his friends
hand but not shake it. If he is about
10 shake hands with a peasant he must
present his hand ungloved or the
peasant will consider himself insulted.
If he is about to shake hands with
lady he must keep his gloves on. When
he offers to conduct a lady to the piano
he must, in taking her hand, half close
his own. In dancing with lady he
must mot permit himself" to squeeze
her hand; and he must, if he wishes to
show himself true gentleman-or, at
least, Gun veritable gentleman"-spend
is, ,O00f., or So 500, year on his gloves.
A gentleman who spent this much a
year on his gloves, of various kinds and
colors, would probably, if only for the
sake of consistency, treat himself every
day to at least one new hat. All, how
ever, that we are told on the subject is
that gentleman's hat should always
be "bright and brilliant" A gentle
man never altogether separates himself
from his hat, though it is not etiquette
to wear 1t in room. In the street, on
meeting an equal of his own sex, he
takes it off for moment. On meeting
lady, or superior of his own sex, he
remains uncovered until he Is told to
put his hat on. Do not eat in the street,
do not smoke pipe in the street, do
not smoke cigar in the street If you
are walking with lady-"not even if
you happen TO be this lady's husband"
1t seems odd to tell gentleman who is
supposed to spend $500 year on his
gloves not TO smoke pipe in the street,
but we have reproduced this caution as
we find it. When you bow, bow
properly, but not so deeply that your
vertebral column will make a right
angle with your legs. If an officer in
uniform salutes you, do not make yeur-
self ridiculous by returning his salute
in military fashion. A lawyer will not
only think you silly, but will be greatly
irritated if, visiting him on a matter OF
business, you ask him how he is, in
quire after the healh of his wife, ex-
press "A hope that the children are all
well, and so on. This sort of talk should
be reserved for friends whose time is
not valuable or who have no right to
charge for 1t.

NO. "a.

each about the size of rat hole. On
looking into such of these as l was tall
enough to see into, found in all of
them swallows in the same dormant
state. | was able with my finger and
thumb 10 pull out swallows from sew
eral of these holes, and in each case
found that the hole, which penetrated
horizontally a considerable way into
the bank. contained more swallows in
the same condition. In no case did i
see one lying on anOther-they were
all lying singly with their heads in
ward, each head touching the tail OF
the bird before it, How far these holes
penetrated into the bank, or what num-
Der of swallows each contained. | did
not ascertain, but it is plain that the
original entrance To those dOrmitOries
must have been in the external face of
of the portion that had slipped, which.
as have stated, was, in the middle,
from ten TO twelve feet thick. The
holes in the undisturbed portion may
probably have been of equal or greater
length. and if so the number of swal-
lows hibernating there must have
amounted To many hundreds"
