"There's Dust on Your Glasses. :"

L don't often put on glasses to ex-
anime Katy's work but one morning
not long since | did so upon entering a
room she had been sweeping. "Did
yOn forget to open the windows when
you swept, Katy ?" 1 inquired ''this
room is very dusty" 81 think there is
dust on your eyeglasses, ma'am," she
said mOdestly. And sure enough the
eyeglasses were at fault, and not Katy.
/ rubbed them off and everything look
ed bright and clean, the carpet like
new, and Katy's face said, I'm glad it
was the glasses and not me this time
This has taught me IA good lesson,
said to myself upon leaving the room,
and one | shall remember through life.
That evening Katy came to me with
some kitchen trouble. The cook had
done so and so, and she had said so and
so. When her story was finished, |
said smiling: ''There is dust on your
glasses Katy, rub them off, You will see
better" She understood me and left
the room.
| told the incident to the children and
it is quite common to hear them saw to
each other, sob, there's dust on your
SSiatooOo' diu TeleEEeu o,
Mamma, Harry has dust OH his glasses
can't he rub them off,"
When l hear person criticizing an
other, condemning perhaps a course of
action he knows nothing about, draw
ing differences prejudicial to the person
or persons, l think right away ''there's
dust on your glasses, rub it off" The
truth is, everybody wears these very
same glasses, only the dust is little
thicker on some than others and needs
harder rubbing to get it off.
L said this to John one day, some lit
tie matter coming up, that called forth
the remark: '"There are some people I
wish would begin to rub, them said
he. "There is Mr.. So and So and Mrs.
So and So, they are always ready to

Dip It Up.

A ship was sailing in the southern
waters of the Atlantic, when her crew
saw another vessel making signals OF
distress. They bore down toward the
distressed ship and bailed them ''What
is the matter?"
1--WE are dying for WATER" was the
response.
dip it up, then" was answered.
'You are in the mouth of the Amazon
river"
There those sailors were tlirsting,
and suffering, and fearing, and longing
for water, and supposing there was
nothing but the oceans brine around
them, when, in fact, they had sailed
unconsciously into the broad mouth of
the mightiest river on the globe, and
did not know it. And though to them
it seemed that they must perish with
thirst, vet there was hundred miles of
fresh water all around them, and they
had nothing to do but to ''dip it up"
Jesus Christ says: eff any man thirst,
let him come unto me and drink" "And
the Spirit and the bride say, come, and
whatsoever will, let him come and take
of the water of life freely" Thirsting
soul, the flood is all around you dip
it up, then !" and drink, and thirst no
more.-BJitiSh Workman.

TURKISH OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS DE-
sEkTING DESTITUTION sUFFERINGs
OF THE PEOPLE: ENCOURAGEMENT IN
MISSIONARY WORK.
BY REV. HERMAN N. BARNUM, d. D.
HARPOoT, TURKEY, Nov. "a, II.
Although the Russian army has come
to ErzerOum, only 100 miles from here,
we are as much in the dark as ever as
to the actual state of affairs at the seat
of war. Government kilograms report
only Turkish victories, and even these
are very unreliable. Once a fortnight
the post comes from Constantinople,
but its latest dates are twelve or four
teen days old. Even the Constantine
pie papers cannot tell the whole truth.
For full and accurate information we
rely upon the Weekly London Times,
but its news items are nearly month
old when they reach ms.
Deserters from the Turkish army.
mostly irregulars, have been so numer-
GUS during the summer, that the ability
of the army to withstand the Russians
so long has been very surprising. Since
the recent defeat of Ahmet Moukhta
Pasha near Kars, these deserters are
numbered by the thousand. They come
i'll large companies, and with their of.
ticers. They are in wretched condi-
ton, as general rule. Many of them
are in rags, and some have cut off pieces
of their coats to protect their feet
Some of these companies have been
stopped here and are to be sent back tc
the front. l had call this week from
couple of officers of a cavalry regi.
ment, who were en- route to Aleppo will
their men. They said that out of Coz
men, only lI8 were left that thei
horses had mostly died; that boil
horses and men were in such a state a

to be unfit for service; that they were
under arrest here, and they wished me
to intercede with the Pasha to let them
go, with the promise that they would
return in the spring. OF course | would
not interfere in such matter but in
what other country would it occur to
military officer to make such request
A new draft for the army has been
ordered. Many of the families of those
who have gone are in great restitution
and distress. The wailing in the Turk
ish quarters of the city, of wives and
children, is said to be at times truly
heartrending. If this new draft shall
be made, it will take a class of men who
have been spared hitherto out of COM
passion to families still more dependent,
and the result will be an amount of
suffering fearful to contemplate. De-
spite all this suffering of the poor and
the great pecuniary straits of the Gov
ernment, the war is a source of gain to
the majority of officials. Every new
tax is new opportunity for expressing
and plundering the poor and cheating
the Treasury. The heaviest burden
which the people now have is the trans
pOrtation of grain to the army. They
have been obliged to give three bushels
of wheat, or its equivalent in money, to
pay for the carrying of one bushel to
Erzeroum; and now that the mountain
road is closed by snow, it will cost a
good deal more. On recent tour to
Diarbekir and other places south of the
mountains, | everywhere heard the
same cry of distress and despair, but
the end is not yet.
We continue to meet with no him
drance in ouI special work. Nothing
of late has cheered and encouraged us
like the report of the late meeting of
the American Board at Providence,
which has Just reached us. The pay
ment of the debt, which had been Il
source of so much encouragement at
home and abroad, with so much enthu
siasm, was truly wonderful but what
to our minds is of more value than the
money put into the treasury, is the
awakened interest in the worlds con-
version which it reveals, the actual
commencement of the missionary Re-
vival" which was so much the theme of
thought and prayer at the meeting, and
the consequent increase of prayer and
effort which we hope will be felt i'll
showers of spiritual blessing Ill all
lands.
Last week we sent out from our
schools nearly fifty labOrers, male and
female. Some of them have completed
their studies and others will return here
again in the spring. The vacation was
preceded by four days examination,
the best which we have had. The !
Theological class numbered only seven
members, but the Normal school had
one hundred, and the Female Seminary
sixty. The spirit manifested i'll all their
schools is admirable. If the friends at
home could see what an element of
hope for the future of Turkey is in
these same schools, the endowment of
500, 900 which Mr.. Wheeler is seeking.
with Il still larger sum for new build !
ings and increased facilities, would he
made up in Il week, | am sure. If this
land of the Bible is to be redeemed, it |
must he by the gospel of Christ through
the agency of intelligent, honest, Chris
tian men.

The same paper comments editorially

ne same paper cOinmoHls culIOlldliJ
as follows:
The Chicopee death from a dog-bite
is sad business. Here is a hydrOphObia
case pretty well authenticated, and we
recommend those people who condemn
"a scare" and the wise precautions
commanded upon the dog owners by
the local city and town authorities, to
read the particulars of the death of Mr..
Ashbel auckland, as elsewhere printed.
The victim of vagabOnd dog was not
a nervous, weak person, frightened to
death, but a strOng-willed man, who
only suspected the source of his disease
when its symptoms had become unmis-
taxable. Mr.. Buckland's own comment
on his approaching end was: at seems
hard that a strong, we'll man should
have to go for dog" And, certainly,
if there ever was a case where a Chris
tan man would be justified in rebelling
at the coming of death, it would seem
to be when the grim messenger had
been summoned by so irresponsible an
agent.
AT the same time of the above death
at Chicopee, DR.. L. L. Way, of Suffield,
Ct, Ia few miles down the river) lay
dying of the same horrible disease.
The above paper of same date, says:
DR.. Way was still alive last evening,
with possibility of living twenty-four
hours, but liable to drop off at any mo-
ment. The case is little peculiar in
that the patient lies unconscious on his
back with his head thrown back into
the pillow, and the throat distended as
much as possible to help his breathing.
His breath was but a gasp, and his eyes
seemed glazed and set, but his doctors
were of the opinion that, if he were
turned on his side, he would be able to
cause considerable trouble to his at
PENDANTS, although he is helpless as
turtle when turned on his back.
DR.. Way died on Friday.

EGG OINTMENT.-The oil obtained
from the yolk of eggs is credited with
wonderful healing properties is cases of
cuts, bruises and the like by some of
the eastern nations. The eggs are
first boiled hard, when the yolk is cas-
lily removed. Crushed and carefully
stirred over hot fire, the oil separates,
when it is ready for use. The eggs of

obtained from the eggs of the common
