The Armenian Houses.

The Armenian houses of Armenia
proper are by no means comfortable.
The poorer classes have homes that
would hardly be considered fit for cows
in America, and in fact the COW lives
with the family. The floors are below
the level of the roadway, and there are
little windows about the size of port
holes. Most of the houses are of one
story, and it is not uncommon to build a
house against the side of a hill, so that
there will be no back wall. Stepping
down into the house you find the COW
stable on one side and on the other the
kitchen and the private apartments of
the family.
Each room has stone fireplace, and
all the cooking is done with COW dung
mixed with straw. There are no tables
and few chairs, and it is curious thing
that large part Of the heat of the room
comes from the animal heat produced
by the cattle in the stable which adjoins
the kitchen. The houses of the wealthy
and middle class of Armenians are more
comfortable, and in the big Turkish cit
les you will find Armenians occupying
palaces In the country, however, they
have few of the comforts of Christen-
dom, and the chief furniture consists of
a divan running around three sides of
the room covered with Persian rugs
and resting on a carpet of gray felt

A Thief DetectOr.

"When we started noticed" said one
ofea party of jewelers. who had camped
in the wilds Of Canada. ''that one of ou1
number was incumbered with large
box. The second day in camp two
watches disappeared, and each member
of the party began to look upon the
others with silent suspicion. Finally, as
the thefts were repeated, meeting was
called, and every man pleaded not guilty.
No one up to that time suspected the
honest French Canadian lad we had en-
gagged as servant. He was questioned
and also entered a prompt and emphatic
denial. We all believed his protestations
of innocence except the man with the
box.
Gentlemen said he, somebody in
the party took those watches, and pro-
pose to find out who. Ihave here thief
detector,' pulling out an electric battery
and winking at the crowd. IF there is
a thief among us this will point him
out Every man took his turn at the
battery. The boy watched the perform
ance in wonder. He had never seen
such queer arrangement before, but as
everybody who touched the coils escaped
without harm he stepped bravely to the
front when it came to his turn and took
hold. A sudden change came over him.
The owner of the battery had turned on
its full force, and the victim gave yell
of pain and horror, and fell to the ground
screaming: Save me! save me! 1 took

The Browning Society Still Lives.

The fyaway squibs on the decline of
Boston interest in Browning that have
appeared in certain papers-chiefy in
the funny columns-could not be better
refuted, if they were worthy of refuta-
ton at all, than by the gathering of
Browning lovers at the Hotel Brunswick.
Over 150 members of the Boston Brown
ing society came together in the large
parlor Of the Brunswick for the first
meeting of the society after it's summer
recess, and had an interesting and en-
thusiastic meeting. There was a brief
business meeting at which eight new
members were elected.
The society has taken up for its enter
tainment and study this winter the
great poets longest and most elaborate
work, "The Ring and the Rook. ."-Bos-

Barking of Dogs.

In writing of the native dogs of Cen

habit of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident of the country some
traits of the ''coyote," as the native wolf
is called, but which more nearly resem-
