TURKISH PERSECUTION.

A Christian missionary seems to have
no better show III Armenia than Nor
mon elder would have in Southern Illi-
nois. The absurdity of European diplo-
macy could have no better illustration
than is exhibited in the futile attempts
of the European powers to protect the
Christians who stray into the domain of
the porte. Of course, the sultan makes
a pretense of affording protection to
Christians, yet recent developments
have shown that it is only pretense.
The Christians are being killed off like
dogs. and the butchers are receiving
royal favOrS and royal protection.
And yet the Christian nations of
Europe are, apparently, uneOncerned
about these butcheTies. A mild protest
sometimes, accompanied with a Sugges-
ton, is sent to the sultan. His royal
sycODhancy promises to look into the
matter, and there 1t ends until some
fresh outrage furnishes the occasion for
sending another protest. There is only
one remedy for this state of affairs, and
it is of the heroic order. The only way
to put an end to Mohammedan persecu-
tons of Christians is to extinguish the
Ottoman empire. There is no more
use for Turkey on the map of Europe
or Asia than there is for the Norm on
church in this country. They are bot h
in antagOnism to the spirit of modern
civilization, and should be crushed out.
There is absolutely no excuse for Tur-
keys existence as nation. 1t is clog
upon European civilization that should
be speedy ioOsened. And until the
heroic treatment is adopted, the Euro
pean powers cannot justify themselves
in the eyes of the world.

A FAIR STATEMENT.

When BALKAN was deputized to
go out and curse JACOB and defy Is
rael by the heather mogul, his con-
science got the upper hand, and he
blessed instead of cursing. One of the
three Republican members of congress
sent down to that Louisiana district to
gather evidence of systems of fraud,
suppression and bulldoZing that would
give the majority excuse for seating all
Republican contestants from the South.
was PETERS, of Kansas. He reports that
he sat upon the platform at Democratic
meetings, and the next day addressed
Republicans from the same platform,
and was at both treated with the utmost
courtesy. There was as much good Or
der and feeling as he had ever seen in
the North. and the only difference was
that the colOred people composed a large
part of the audiences. He remained to
the election, and saw no indication of
any attempt at unfalrness, but admitted
that the colored race was good deal
divided between the parties. He could
not guess at any grounds of contest,
although one will probably be had.

HOW 1T WORKS.

1t is not presumed that the farmers in
the Dakotas and other new states, who
so placidly accept the protective theo-
ries the politicians put into platforms
for them, wish to be understood as put
ting their own interests second to those
of capitalists in other sections. They
probably have an idea that they are aid
ing to build up home markets that will
insure remunerative prices for their
products. Pittsburg is the center of a
great manufacturing population. in a
region where the protective theories
have their nursery. The farmers in
that vicinity should have the largest
possible benefit from the home market,
and would be presumed to be highly
prosperous. A Pittsburg paper says a
person wishing to buy farm in that
section advertised in one of the papers,
and received l2S offers by mail of farms
to sell, besides rush of would-be sell
erS in person. Most of them were load
ed with mortgages and judgments, and
were offered at hardly more than nom
inal rates. They had lessened in value
- to 80 per cent in ten years, and the
farmers were not prosperous. They
had all the benefits the protective sys-
TEN could give farmers. Western farm
erS will yet discover their error.

How to Keep a Razor Sharp.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
We often have amateur shaverS bring
US their razor to be fixed up. Almost
any man with steady hand can shave
himself, but not one in fifty can keep
his razor in decent condition. The first
reason is that amateurs wear all the
temper out of their raZors by excessive
Strapping, and the better the
steel the easier it is affected in this
way. The only remedy is to let it
alone. Put away the razor that scrapes
and cuts the skin and give it good
rest. Then use it again, and in all
probability it will be in good shape.
Some of the modern shaving sets have
as many raZors as there are days in the
week, and on the handle of each is en-
graved the name of the day. If the ro-
tation is kept up, very little sharpening
is needed. l have known men to talk
of pet raZorS which they have nsed
every day for ever so many years; if
they would let these lie by for awhile
they would find a welcome improve
mept. The second cause of the trouble
is bearing on the razor while sharpen
ing it. Never attempt to put on an edge
before shaving, When you are through
rub the blade few times lightly on a
plain leather strap, which need not
cost above quarter, and then putaway.
The old boiling water craze is exploded
now. and professionals do just as good
work with cold as hot water.

THE EXPOSITION TROUBLE.

There is some grave objection raised
to the location of the worlds fair at
either of the cities that insist they are
candidates for it. Washington has no
claim aside from being the capital, and
won't do at all. New York has no site
for 1t, can't put up the money, and is
not central. st. Louis persists in COM
ing into the list, and is better than New
York. as it has site, and will raise the
money. But it is too hot in summer
there, and visitors don't like to mix that
yellow river water with their beverages.
Chicago has good water. its overhead
wires are all under ground, and it has
almost uneXplOred areas of room. But
it has a river that needs more aromatic
flavoring, and the smoke from its soft
coal is great nuisance. Perhaps it will
have natural gas from Indiana by that
time 1t is conceded that a century
later the worlds exposition will be held
at the Twin Cities, as the great central
metropolis of the continent. The pend
ing one will as naturally go to Chicago.

SWINDLING A BANK.
An Official Tells of a ShreWd Game
Which Is Sometimes Worked.

A Bank Teller In Globe-Democrat
1t is the rule with most banks to do
no business with absolute strangers and
to require Identification or at least ref
erences. Sometimes when man wants
to open an account he resentS very bit
terly the demand for an introduction
If he would only consider the matter
he would see how very important the
rule is. There are many reasons
for it, but the chief is to prevent a
scheme which has frequently proved
successful. A member of the gang will
open an account and pay in and draw
checks in most regular manner for
several months. Then one day he will
happen to be present when stranger
presents large check, the two will
recognize each other as old friends, and
the rogue with an account will identify
the rogue with the check, which may
turn out to be forgery. With all pre-
caution as to Introduction and identifi-
cation, frauds are possible, but without
them frauds would be simple and easy,
and, as natural result, frequent.

A PERIPATETIC PRESIDENT.

1t is stated that President HARRISON
has once or twice recently spent an
hour or so in Washington in order to
fix up some friends in office, but he has
not lost much time from his travels. He
has been president now about half a
year, and it has been merry-go-round.
His energies have been devoted to the
distribution of things and keeping him
self in the public eye. 1t is bore for
him, it is true. to shake hands with the
populace, and he hates to make a little
speech when HALFORD is not along to
smooth it out for print; but he has
missed no opportunity to figure as the
attraction in gatherings. He has been
on perpetual picnic, and the papers
have registered his comings and gOings
day by day. He has occasionally planted
a tree or kissed baby, but no weightier
matters seem to have impressed him,
aside from distributing the patronage
where it would do most good to the
party or personal favorites.

Lawrence (Mass.) Special to New York Sun
John Mcdonald arrived home Thurs.
day from a novel trip to Europe. He
came home last June from the United
States steamer Nipsic, which went
down in the storm at Samoa. Since
then he has been at work about town.
Toward the last of July he was relating
his experience to cOterie of friends.
and the talk turning upon the cost OF
travelling, Mcdonald entered into
wager with friend, Thomas Kennedy.
The wager was that Mcdonald could
not go to Europe and back as quickly as
Kennedy, neither man to pay cent OF
fare from the moment they left Law
renee until they returned.
Kennedy left here for Boston on July
%. Mcdonald left twod days later, going
down on freight train. After hang
ing around On the wharveS awhile he
slowed himself away in a cattle boat,
the Borderer. bound to London. After
two days he showed himself on deck,
and, although the captain was angry at
first, he allowed him TO work his pas
sage over. The vessel touched at Dept
ford, and from there Mcdonald rode on
a tram car to London. In the White
chapel district. after wandering around
London two days, Mcdonald met Ken
nedy, and the two went to Liverpool.
Returning to London, Mcdonald slowed
himself away On the Milanese, of the
Furness line, and Kennedy did the same
on another boat Of the same line. In
two days Mcdonald appeared on deck,
and was allowed to work his passage.
He arrived in Boston Thursday after
noon. That evening at 7:3O he stole
into a freight car on the Boston & Maine
railroad, and thus reached home. Ken
nedy has not arrived. so that Mcdonald
wins his wager.

SILK WITHOUT WORMS.
The Important Discovery of a
Great French Sayant.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
M. de Carbonnet, a French savant,
has discovered how to make silk with
out worms. He began his experiments
some time ago, with the guiding idea
that the peculiar appearance of silk
was the result of the spinning of
liquid. After many months of repeated
and unsuccessful trials, he produced
several yards of silk in this wise: He
poured collodiOn solution into cop
per receiver which emptied into
a system of small glass tubes.
These tubes Terminated in capilla-
ries, which carried off the solution in
fine threadlike streams. In a second
system of glass tubes, filled with water,
the fine streams became fine threads,
which, before leaving the water, were
caught mechanically and wound around
tiny rollers. After being heated and
cooled in an acid of special gravity and
temperature, the threads were made
less combustible than cotton by being
saturated in simple chemical prepare
ton. The quality of the silk goods
manufactured from these threads is fine.
The threads are cylindrical and are
from one to forty millimeters in d.
ameter. They sustain weight of 25-35
kilograms per square millimeter.
Ordinarily silk bears a weight of
1915 Kilograms per square millimeter;
cooked silk, 1920. De Carbonnet's silk
Is much more brilliant than ordinary
silk and holds coloring matter more sat
isfactorily. AS yet only a few pieces
have been produced by the new process.
Several of them are shown in the Paris
exposition. De Carbonnet is confident,
however, that further experiment will
enable him to manufacture silk cheaply
and in large quantities. In fact, he
thinks that in d few years hence the
silkworms may as well go and die, as
machinery will then be doing their
work much better than they can do it

annoyance as they can be made, to be
closed at 10 p. IN. and on Sunday, and
not sell to miuors or intoxicated persons;
nor will any games be allowed. The
Chicago Tribune thinks that the similar
privilege for that city could be sold for
S4,000.0O0. 1t is not, however, likely to
be adopted in Chicago, as it involves
the interests of too many people who
have political influence. There would
also be the objection that it would put
in few hands a tremendous power
that could be welded in any direction,
and perhaps to serious disadvantage to
public interests No doubt more money
could be raised in this way than by the
ordinary licenses. If tested in the
smaller city, its operation will be noted
with some interest.

with four living cankerWorms in his

out their heads with the customary
noise and were fed each caterpillar.
The sparrow went off and returned
after while again with four living

disposed of in the same manner. L was
so interested and pleased with the pro-
