The Sultan of Turkey has instructed
his officials to treat the Kurds with the
utmost consideration, and to avoid all diff
ticulty with them. What does this mean {?
Simply that the Porte fears that Russia
is watching closely for an excuse to make
war, with a view to her old ambition, the
re-establishment of the Greek Church at
Constantinople, and to sweep away the
last vestige of restriction upon him to the
free navigation of the Dardanelles with
his ships Of war. Now if the Turks per-
init the people of Kurdistan to give any
complaint Russia will seize upon it, as she
did upon the persecution of the Bull
garians, as pretext for armed movements
against Turkey. Turkey has jurisdiction
over some 100000 Kurds. Ia their
vicinity Russia has concentrated an un-
usually strong military force. Since the
instruction of Turkey to her Armenian
officials, and which was to have been a
profound secret, has leaked out, it will not
be surprising to hear of the Car making
that attempted secrecy cause for war.
Between Russia and Turkey expect any,
thing" runs the proverbiai saying in Eu-
rope, and it looks now as if expectation of
the unusual is about to be gratifed. Kur-
distan is wall between Russia and por-
tions of Asia Minor that the Turk cannot
afford to lose, and that Persia does not
wish him crowded from, for the Kurd tribes
are partly located in the latter country.
and as they are elannish, fierce and war
like people, the nation that succeeds in at
taching them TO its banners will have n
powerful ally, with its wings resting in
Persia on the south and Asiatic Turkey on
the northwest. Turkey now realizes that if
the Kurds are at all provoked by the
petty Tyranny ofany of her officials to COM
nit outrages upon the Christians of
Armenia, Russia will do as she did in
the ease of the Bulgarians in 1873. Tur-
kish orders, therefore, to treat the Kurds
with consideration, are issued with view
of restraining them from a recent dispo-
sition to make it uncomfortable for Chris
tians in that part of Asia Minor.

THE ELIXIR.

DIR. Barnsfather, of Cincinnati warns all
physicians to exercise the utmost caution
in experimenting with the Brown-Sequard
elixir. He says there is danger of blood
poisoning unless great care is taken in the
preparation of the fluid to be injected. We
have in our system many micro organisms
which carry on the processes of life and
digestion, and which antagonize the
saprophytes, or death-dealing bacilli, that
are constantly invading our bodies through
the air we breathe. Between them there is
a constant life and death struggle for the
mastery, and while our home friends are
in the supremacy we remain in good
health. When the saprophytes are in
greater numbers we have sickness, and if
they still increase in number we have that
condition to setup which eventually causes
death. When we are dealing with any
thing which has been killed, in the course
of an hour or two afterwards the sapro-
phytes from the atmosphere can be found
in incredible numbers on it, and, as they
propagate and multiply with fearless
speed, it becomes great question whether
after that time an injection of that poison
Gus material will not do more harm than
good. The doctor adds:
All doctors know that the smallest portion of
the fluid of dead body, if it finds its way into
a cut or abrasion win inevitably produce blood
poisoning, and il does this through.the piomains
formed by those death-dealng saprophytes
The fluid for injection should never be more
than an hour old when used, and then it ought
always to be made in a vessel which is antisep-
tic and impervious to the surrounding air
Then the product will be perfectly harmless as
far as blood-poisoning is concerned.
1t would be safe to say that the present
craze for the elixir will die out within
year, and after that time we will find no
physician who will use it on patient, un-
less as temporary stimulant 1t is
opposed to all reason to look upon it as
reiuvenator.

TWO coNFEy.ENcEs.

On the second day of October the Con-
gress of American Nations is to assemble
in the City of Washington. The purpose
is to consider the mutuality OF trade inter
ests that should exists between the States
of the two continents, but that does not in
practice develop. Our own representa-
tives in that body are to be in the minor
ity from the outset. They will at once
face the fact that the other States propose
to buy where they can do the best, irre-
spective of the continental comfy and the
supposed goodfellowship between Amer
lean Governments. As matters now stand
the South American States buy most
largely of England and Germany, and
they will have to be convinced by power
ful reasons to induce change of the habit
of halt century, and more. The repre-
sentatives of these States are men of the
shrewdest business wisdom and political
sense, and they will not at all be awed by
their surroundings, or by the capacity Of
the men we have selected to meet them.
We might as well make up our minds now
that all the wooing is to come from our side,
and that our representatives have before
them most difficult task. Up to date, the
Central American States have not named
delegates, and should they refuse to do SO,
the situation will be most embarrassing when
the subject of the Nicaragua canal is
reached. Before this convention will have
concluded its labors, another, quite as inn
portant, will have assembled in the same
city-The International Marine Congress
Tothis latter body will come delegates from
Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy,
Denmark, Russia, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil,
Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hawaii
Japan, The Netherlands, Nicaragua
Spain, Sweden and Norway, Uruguay and
Honduras. The congress will have before
it subjects of the most important character
and the very broadest concern. 1t is i'm.
possible to foresee what will be the result
of the deliberations of the Representatives
concerning the marine navy of the world
and the international ethics of the same
but we certainly have some reason to hope
that the meeting of such body of repre-.
sentatiyes of the nations will result in a
better understanding as to the aims and
purposes of the respective Governments, ir
the cultivation of much brotherly feeling
and in inspiring greater respect for each
other.

MR. a. ]. DREXEL has added his own to
the accumulating testimony that the men
of great wealth in this country are using
their surplus means for the most beneficent
of purposes. A calm survey of the century
will disclose that wealth has vastly added
to the sum OF human happiness and knowl-
edge, and has done a magnificent work for
mankind in the founding of schools, uni
versities, libraries, training schools, hospi-
tails, trade instruction classes, art schools,
mechanic art institutions, baths, homes for
the destitute and the aged and weak,
churches, orphanages, public works, etc.
Mr.. Drexel's is the latest of the great bene-
factions of the day. He has donated and set
aside million and half of money to build
an industrial institute in the city of Phila-
delphia. 1t will be planned TO accommo-
date thousand girls by day and thou
sand boys by night These viii be taught
self-helpfulness, and that without money
and without price being asked from them.
They are not to be preached at and
lectured, but are to be thoroughly taught
how to do useful and supporting things, to
accomplish at least the rudiments of many
trades. 1t is believed that in three wears
time girl by day instruction, and in four
years time boy by partial day and even
ing instruction, can be taught callings in
this institute that will enable them TO be
independent of assistance, and yet that in
the meantime they will not be so with
drawn from wage-earning that they will not
be able TO study and TO contribute TO the
support of themselves in cases where they
have not homes. The great need of the
times is education in the line of self.help-
fulness and for the building up of our
land in skilled industries with skilled
workers of our own raising. The labor
unions have told US repeatedly that the
excuse for the importation of skilled work
men from Europe is the fact that our
own youth are not taught trades well and

AN interesting essay by an Eastern con-
temporary takes the position that suicide
is increasing to an alarming rate. We are
inclined to think that the statistics will
not bear out the assertion. There is diff
Guilty, however, in arriving at the figures
for the earlier centuries, but it has seemed
to lis that life is held at higher value in
the nineteenth century than in the earlier
ones, and that there is not more of self
destruction now than, say in the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries proper
tionately. In these days publicity is given
to all events of this kind, and therefore
there is a seeming of increase of suicide.
1t would be an interesting study for some
accomplished statistician to make research
in this matter and evolve reliable state
ments of fact concerning it.

each trick, at each joke, as good refrain,
making merry with his ingenious and
funny .make-up, uttered the same cry. re-
peated the same word, accompanied some
times by the thunder of the orchestra :
Boum-bouml Boum- boumw And each
time he cried Boum-houm the circus re-
sounded with braves and the little one had
shouted with laughter at Boum-boum
1t was this Boum-boum, it was the clown
of the circus, it was the amuser of a great
part of the city, that he wished to see, that
he wished to have, the little Francois, and
that he could neither see nor have. since
he was stretched out there withoutstrength

That evening Jacques Legrand brought

at very high price in top store-the
price of four days labor as mechanic !!
But he would give twenty, thirty, he
would give the price of years labor to
bring one smile TO the pale lips of the lit
tie sufferer.
The child looked for moment at this
Paything that sparkled on his white bed,
then sadly said:
That is not Boum-boum / want to
see Boum-boumw
Oh! how Jacques wished to wrap him up
In the bed covers, to carry him in his arms
to the circus, TO show him the clown dane
ing under the circle of lights and saw to
him But look Jacques did better
than that; he went TO the circus, asked the
| address OF the clown and turning his legs,
faltering with emotion, he mounted one
by one the steps that led to the apartments
of the artist at Montmartre. it was in
deed bold thing that Jacques came TO do
But after all the comedians go sometimes
to sing, sometimes to recite in the houses
of great persons at their receptions. Per-
haps the clown-0h il he would consent
TO come, if only to say "Good day" to
