Aid for Turkey.

Rev. Dr. Hill made brief statement in
the First Parish church last Sunday morn
ing, of the condition of the ADMINISTRATION
districts in Turkey, and of the peculiar call
on New England for charity, because our
mis- siouares there would be such intelligent
and iudcious almoners. After service, some
of his hearers stepped forward and put their
contributions at once into his hands, and ar
ranged that there should be collections taken
up in that church next Sunday, both at the
morning and evening services. The charity
is impartial; Turks, Greeks and Armenians,
Moslem, Christians and Jews alike are aided.
The Missionary Herald says there are at
present two distinct famines prevailing in
Turkey, in districts separated by several
hundred miles, the first in Central Turkey,
on the Cilician plain, usually so fertile, the
other in Eastern Turkey, where the crops
for the past three years have been devoured
by locusts. Already $4,000 has been for
warded, mostly to Central Turkey, but the
distress is increasing and the call must be
renewed. Now or never must aid be rem
dered. The following extract from letter
of Rev. Mr.. Montgomery, dated Adana,
Dec. 30th, presents briefly the State of af-
fairs in Central Turkey:
The winter is rendering the condition Of
these poor much more distressing, as many
of them have sold their bedding aud cloth
ing to buy bread. Women have sold their
last dresses, and men their coats off their
backs, SO that many are naked. The suffer-
ing on every side of us Is heartrending. The
weaker ones are dying off with various dis
eases induced by hunger and cold, and some
cases of death from actual starvation are re-
ported here and in Sis. hope the kind peo-
pie of America will not slacken their contri-
buttons now. Thousands have been kept
alive until now, and If we can pull them
through three OF four months more, there is
a prospect of better times for them. The
rains are abundant this season.
No relief from the new crops can be OBJ
tanned before June, and ii provision can be
made for the intervening months, the crisis
will be passed.
The same condition is reported from the
Jibel Toor district, in Eastern Turkey. Spe-
cial contributions may be sent to Langdon
S. Ward. treasurer of the American Board,
No. Somerset street, Boston. who will re-
NIT the amount at once sto the committee at
Constantinople.

LARD ADULTERATlONS.
Beef Fat and cotton-Seed Oil Found
In "Pure Family Lard''-one Sample
That Contained No Hogs Lard.
Especial to the Boston Advertiser.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-N. X. Fairbank Of
Chicago, tall, white haired, white-bearded,
shrewd-eyed, was the main figure on the
pure lard hearing this morning. He proved
in Judge Wilson's hands capital witness
for the other side. He testified that the pub
lie did not want pure lard; that they very
much preferred his brand, which he .ad-
mitted did not contain over 80 per cent. OF
lard. As for the lard that he used in manu-
featuring. it was so bad that he had to use
cotton-seed oil to conceal its taste and odor,
and as this made it too soft he was forced to
add beef stearine to stiffen 1t up again. He
said he had tried the experiment of supply
ing his customers with the lard unmixeds
but they had returned it and made much
complaint about the quality. lie iAied,

The Genial Pension Agent NOT quite
Ready TO Invest His s75, 700 Prize.
In view of the fact that numerous incredu-
lous inquiries and communications have been
received in Pittsburg concerning the truth of
the good fortune of Mr.. w. H. Barclay, the
well known pension agent for the district of
western Pennsylvania, in being the recipient
of one-half of the capital prize drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery, which was drawn
by ticket No. 1876, Dispatch reporter
visited the gentleman at his Office on Third
avenue yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Barclay looked prosperously happy,
and was perfectly willing to reassert the
chased one-half of ticket No. IL, SIS at Wash
ington, D. c., on the day the drawing took
place, April 10. I was notified on the follow
ing Wednesday that that number had drawn
the capital prize. I never entertained the
least doubt of getting the money, and con-
sequently was not surprised when on the
Oath of this month / received notice that
$75, 025 had been deposited to my credit in
the First National bank of this city. The
full amount was there, without an .iota of
discount"
Mr.. Barclay takes his good fortune very
modestly. He says the receipt of the wind
fall was not attended by particular sensa-
ton of citation; nevertheless his demeanor is
not that Of one who has met with financial
loss. The genial gAntleman will continue to
look after the wants of the old soldiers as
heretofore. He is in daily receipt of advice
and propositions from those who are blessed
with little of this worlds goods, and all anx
ious to get more, as to the best way of dis
posing of his newly gotten wealth; but he is
taking his leisure in the matter of looking
out for safe investment. This is not the first
piece of good fortune that has fallen to Mr..
Barclay, he having drawn 81 900 in the same
institution at the June drawing in 1885,

Inherited
Diseases,

In the realm of disease the facts of In
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter
rible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact Of
nature Is more pregnant with awful mean
ing than the fact of the inheritance of
disease. 1t meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them deSplate. The Furies stin
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the garb Of superst-
ton, but appear in the more Ineligible hut
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science. which has Illuminated so
many dark corners Of nature, has she'd q
new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures "The sins of the fathers snail be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. OF cases OF
consumption, that fearful destroyer Of fami-
lies, Of cancer and scrofula run in families
through Inheritance. Insanity is hereditary
In marked degree, but, fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases. tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture OF tho body is exempt from
the chance OF being the subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions OF the body. are more or less
liable to BIO inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts-affecting so powerfully the happiness
OF individuals ant families and the collective
welfare of the nktion-1re obvious to reflec-
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
ing curing these diseases is a subject of
intense interest to ALL Fortunately nature
has provided remedy, which experience
has attested Cs ihfallible, and the remedy is
