T. Q Amazons of KurdIstNn.

The women of Kurdistan, says the
London DqiIy Ne1cS, are stated to be
strongly opposed to the census, and
even disposed to resist the curiosity OF
the eaumerators with their lives. Ac-
cording TO intelligence published in
the Indian papers they have for the
moment entirely frustrated an attempt
to take a census among them in RiZan,
although the cnsus officers were sup
ported by the military.
The women of several villages, give

in body and attacked the troops, who,
whether actuated by fear OF gallantry,
turned and fled. II is added that the
Turkish authorities will find it no easy
task to overcome the resistance of an
inqusitorial visitation of their homes
by the Kurdish women, who are rather
famous for their AmaZonian prowess.
Those who are familiar with the de-
tails of the TurcO- Russian war of 1855

Making Cross.Eyes STRAIGHT.

A medical expert described to a Ne,
York Times reporter his method Of
making cross-eyes straight as follows:
"The operation to be undergone by the
patient is simple and practically pain,
less. For the convergent cases there
is no pain whatever, only a little an
noyance while the operator is reaching
the little muscle which has to be di-
vided. l have performed the opera
tiOn hundreds of times on other people,
sometimes giving anesthetics, and
often with no such aid. The patient
is stretched on the table. l draw
apart with my fingers the lids of his
eyes and insert between them a little
steel instrument shaped like the letter
0. The sides of this expand by a
spring and force the lids open, dis
closing the eyeball and the network of
muscles holding it in position and
directing its movements. When this
expansion is accomplished 1 lift up the
muscle with small pair of tweezers
and divide it with my instrument.
When it is cut it feels to the patient
as if small band of rubber was being
snapped. There is no pain at all
Very often, however, painful opera
tions are performed. The muscle has
sometimes been divided too much, and
the error has to be rectihed. This re-
quires some stitches to be taken and a
new cut to be made. The patient must
be made unconscious while this is going
on" "Can you cure any case of stra-
bismus?" az can benefit any ordinary
case, even when it can't be entirely
cured. l have often wished that l
could operate on Ben Butler. 1 think
1 could give him as straight eyes as
have in half an hours time"

The Influence of Forests.

The influence of forests upon eli

The Stimulus Of Necessity.

DR.. Carpenter writes as follows in
the New York Medical Journal: What
can be in stronger contrast than the
sluggish life Of the Orinoco Indian
for whom one days labor lin the
planting of banana grove) is said by
Humboldt to be sufficient to provide
food for the whole year, and who di-
vides his time between sleeping and
smoking-and the hardy activity Of
the Swiss mountaineer, who tolls
throughout the summer and autumn
in the cultivation of his small patch
of grain or potatoes for the needs Of
his family, and scales heights that
most men would deem inaccessible to
collect their scanty herbage as win
ter's food for their beasts, using the
long hours of his enforced confne-
meHt in some kind of skilled handi-
work which may enable him to pro-
cure additional comforts for his home
or educational advantages for his chill
drenp And so, in the higher grades
of society, those who are born with
silver spoon in their mouths too often
fall into habits of mere dilet-
tanteism, while those who enter
upon their career with good
educational preparation for it, but
without any other means of subsist-
ence than what they can themselves
earn, are, as large experience shows,
those most likely to succeed. 1 need
not call to your minds cases so familiar
to you as those of some Of your own
presidents; but would rather draw my
illustrations from the fact well known
in my reputedly aristocratic country
that many Of the men who have
risen to highest eminence in the legal
profession, and have thereby gained
seats in our house of lords, have begun
life upon nothing, while those who go
to the bar with an income that places
them above the need of eXertion, are
regarded as almost sure not to "get on"
The autobiography of the late Lord
Campbell and the biographical notices
that have made us acquainted with the
early years of the late Lord Justice
Lush are most instructive when re-
garded in this aspect, showing what
steady determination may do without
any brilliant ability, when nerved in
the first instance by the "stimulus of
necessity" And so it is with the most
of Us. In proportion as our path Of
life is smooth we tend to fall into an
automatic routine; but obstacles arise
which require some extraordinary ex-
ertion to surmount them, and then
only do we become conscious Of our
real strength-that which liesi in vigor'
GUS self-determination.

Clearing Stump Land.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes from Michigan
We have here thousands of acres of
what is called "stump land"-land
from which the pine timber has
taken by lumbermen. The term
" stump land" is no misnomer, for
there are often hundred pine stumps
to the acre. From field of eight
acres in sight of me as L write, 600
stumps have just been pulled. When
exposed to the weather pine decays
very rapidly, and one would suppose
that few years after the timber was
cut the pine stumps could be easily
pulled; but such is not the case. Long,
stout roots are required to support a
pine tree 100 OF $50 feet high, and ma
ture strengthens the roots by saturat-
ing them with resinOus pitch. This
saves them from decay, and pine
stump. forty years after the tree has
been cut, clings to the ground with al
most the same grim determination as
when first cut. But in spite of this,
stumps from twenty to forty inches in
diameter can be pulled with a good
machine at a cost of fifteen or twenty
cents each. A man who owns a good
stump puller here has just finished a
Job of 1880 pine stumps at tifte en-
cents each for pulling, and the same
price for burning. These stumps were
all standing en- thirty acres of land,
and many Of them were from three to
fOur feet in diameter.

This sonnet was written by " shefyood Bonner"
only a short time before her death-l
A soul which, anguish-snitten, sought releasa
From its own thoughts through weary hours
of night
Turned with new life to greet the morning
light,
And read in golden lines the longed-for peace,
When suddenly, mid all the fair increase
OF hope, the new-found joys that round 10
pressed,
There stood, reproachful-eyed, fannished
guest,
Whose wan, set look bade all delight to ceasa
VIII it be so hereafter Shall we gain
The heaven we sought through LIES long
night of care,
Only to find some word, once heard in vain,
Some duty, in sheer exercise OF prayer
Left unfulflled, start up to meet us there,
Bidding US back to old remorse and paint

A HAPPY MISTAKE.

"No, life is not fair. It's troubles
are given to the many; its pleasures
only to the few p mused Mrs. Mer-
riam as she stood in her cottage door
looking after the fine carriage of an
old schoolmate that had Just dashed
by. "She has so much, and l so little |

and she would have given her eyes, in
those days, if Tom Merriam would
have cared for her as he cared for me |!

telling him thatI was engaged to Tom.
and seeing real tears in his eyes as he
listened wonder if Tom But
what am 1 thinking of? l am quite
sure that Tom could never have cared
for her-neVer !"
Mrs. Merriam's set face softened a
little as her memory went back to the
days when "Tom" wooed and won her,
and when she was so glad to secure
him after her long fear that Hermione
Macy would be his chosen bride.
But the next moment the bright sun
light flashed upon the highly-yarnished
panels of Hermione's pony carriage
far up the Gorge road. She turned
away from the open door with heavy
sigh and entered the plainly-furnished
sitting-room where her two little girls
were getting ready for school.
"Put it away Hide it under your
apron, Rosy, or mamma will see it p
she heard her twelye-year-old Inez say
in frightened whisper as she laid
her hand on the latch of the door.
Rosy was shufiing something out of

as she passed she saw with surprise
that the materials for the birthday
feast had vanished.
A confused murmur Of voices
sounded from the parlor. The dining
room door stood wide open. There on
table beautifully decorated with hot
house flowers were the lost dainties
in company with cakes, ices, fruits
and creams such as she had never seen
before; while on an improvised side
board stood the heavier viands-cold
roast fowl, a ham, in paper frills,
and dressed with parsley, and a tongue.
Speeches. with astonishment the
farmers wife crossed the hall and
peeped into the parlor.
A beautiful rosewood armchair,
covered with crimson velvet-a chair
such as she had always secretly longed
for, but never hoped to possess-stood
near the open fireplace. Over the
carved and arched top Hermione
Marabout was arranging a wreath Of
golden-rod and field-daisies, while Tom
Merriam was fastening above the
wreath finely-executed inscription,
painted in colors upon tinted paste
board.

Inez, dancing up and down in her Sun.
day slippers and best muslin frock
"Rosy and l saw her just now coming
out of the woods, and-oh, here she isl"
There were two screams of delight
from the lips of the children in their
Sunday attire; and Tom Merriam
also dressed in his best-turned from
the chair and added his embrace to that
Of Inez and Rosy.
"Welcome, dear mother" said the
glowing letters on the tinted board.
"Welcome, dear wifel" whispered
her husband as he kissed her.
Inez painted the letters and I made

like mad thing. "And we were SO
afraid that you would see them both

"And papa bought the chair and hid
it out in the barn all last night,

With light hearts they all sat down
together to share the birthday feast.
But in the twilight of that evening,
when they two were alone, the wife
confessed to her husband all the evil
thoughts that had beset her that day
Never again did they trouble her
