CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 27.-The village
Of Repahie, in Armenia, has been destroyed

water is so great that adjacent fields are
flooded. The earthquake was preceded by
rumblings, which caused the inhabitants TO

WHEN RoGUEs DISAGREE.

The Senate conferees, after consultation
with the other senators, are SO pronounced
in their opposition to the service pension
features Of the House bill as to make it
probable that those sections must be sacri-
feed if an agreement is to be reached. In
return for such concession on the part of
the House, the senator, are willing to drop
the dependent pension sections of their bill,
so that the outcome would be a simple disa-
bility pension bill, with graded pensions
ranging from So to s12 per month. Another
conference will be held next Monday.

yentilating Living Rooms.

The question Of ventilation is even
more difficult than thato heating. II
n uses a stove the oxygen in the
room must supply the fire as well as
the lungs Of the inmates, and unless it
is constantly REINFORCED from the out.
side it will become exhausted, and the
air of the room will he unfit to breathe,
both from the exhaustion of the oxy-
gen and from the exhalations from the
bodies of those who live in it. a good
way TO ventilate is 10 close the doors
between the living room and the one
adjoining; then in the latter open all
the windows until the air is entirely
renewed; then close the windows and
open the connecting doors. This has
been used with success in the case Of
invalids. Another way is To raise one
of the sashcs a few inches. and have a
strip Of wood fitted snugly in below
the sash. The air will then enter up
ward between the sashes, and will
cause no draught. a hinged pane in
one of the windows is am excellent
thing, as is also a ventilator set in one

Tear Bottles.

Before the days of la grippe, when
the ladies of Pompeii were the bellies of
the day, posed as the professional
beauties, and for all we know had
their photographs taken and got a per.
centage on them, well bred people did
not cry in handkerchiefs. They drop
ped their tears slowly and gracefully
into walls OF cut glass, that had gold
shoppers, set about with precious
stones. There can be no doubt that
the woman with thoughts upon a
graceful pose practiced with her tear
bottle before her mirror, and can there
be anything more touching than, when
ones best young a was of TO the
wars, sending him by registered letter
a little note saying: you have all
my heart and these are the tears !
have wept for you since your alb
sencei' The tear bottle could be IN
closed as practical proof, and the
maiden fair would write on the out
side of the envelope in large letters:
'Glass-please do not stamp too
hard" Those, indeed, were the days
of romance. Undoubtedly, some very
fetching young women, who appreci-
ated the impression made by a bottle
of tears, but didn't like getting a red
nose, had their slaves do the weeping
for them, and physically cultured
themselves by administering 10 the
slaves a good sound whipping, SO that
they might have something to weep
for.-Toronto Globe.

Strawberry Plants In Winter.

In setting out strawberries it is well
to select ground which is not liable TO
be raked with sharp winter winds, and
where at least a partial covering of
snow will not be blown off and the
land left bare. The shelter of screens
of evergreens within a few rods will be
useful. In nearly 81 localities, shell
tered or otherwise, Sinter mulching is
important. Even a thin covering of
evergreen branches will afford protec-
ton enough for the strawberry plants
to come out with a fresh and lively
green when uncovered in the spring,
contrasting with the dull and brown
color of the strawberry leaves that
have been fully exposed TO the sun,
wind and freezing. If evergreens can
not be had. chopped cornstalks put on
thin enough to partly admit air and
light will cause tho partial retention Of
snow and shelter from hard winds. A
little covering Of thin straw does well
if free from the seeds of weeds. This
covering is TO be applied after the
ground is frozen, and not removed in
spring till danger has past of hard
freezing Albany Cultivator.

On one of the ocean steamers once a
friend of mine was a passenger. There
was a lady aboard with her daughter.
She was from Wisconsin. She said 81
so often that finally they took her word
for it and believed il. She knew pretty
nearly everything outside of Wiscon-
sin. too. Her daughter had 10 indorse
SO many extraordinary scraps of infor-
nation that she could only say, YES,

her 10 confirm her statements. The
old lady had a lovely time, for she
poked her nose into everybody's busi-
ness, from the passenger who was
sick TO the captain who was well and
running the ship as well as he could
with her assistance. One day the pur-
ser, the captain and several others
were sitting around smoking, when
the Wisconsin encyclopedia came on
deck. AS she came up the purser said,
in an ordinary conversational tone,
with a wink:

been appointed minister TO China"

That the growing desire for the pos
session of good pictures is ~notconiiDrd
to buyers with heavy pocketbooks is
daily evidenced in the experience of
those who are familiar with the in
crease OF art taste in this community.
The most appreciative picture admir-
ers are not those who desire that their
possessions shall be known To all men,
and the hest pictures are not by amy
name Of means altogether those that
are most known 10 the public, or that
are component parts of largo and inn
portant collections
Ii would be interesting, If il we're
possible, Ia learn about the scores of
individuals who, in u small way. have
collected Il few good pictures for their
personal enjoyment, and concerning
which the public knows nothing
whatever. There are in New York prob
ably several hundred such small collec-
tons of not over half dozen canvases
each that would surprise the commu.
nifty could they be brought ont 10 pub
lie view in one large exhibition. One
amateur. who makes very little dis
play, has in his possession three pic.
lures only, but these he considers
would put TO shame many more pre-
tentious collections. One of his pic
lures is a curious work by Turner that
the amateur picked up in London and
that has an interesting history. The
picture that, like many others by Tur-
ner, is little more than an experiment
in color, represents a grotto with sur.
rounding landscape. 1t was painted
by Turner On a time wager after a din
ner at which the artist and his friends
were present. The picture was given
to the host, and was purchased by the
present owner from the family of the
original possessor. New York Star.

II is an interesting fact, which

All that is necessary is 10 run a wire
parallel with the telegraph line for o

sent reproduce the signal in the tele-
phone. The plan is attended by one

Tom Kelly. the well known veteran

The sveicrdn hitter turned TO the re
porter-thc largest and best developed
man on the paper, and kelly's equal
physically. Raising his arm the ex-
pugilist brought his fist slowly
around, catching the reporter on the
very tip OF the jaw, plumb, below the
end of the mouth on the left side.
The blow vas gently delivered. II
1t struck the stomach, or any other
vital or sensitive part of the body, it
would scarcely be noticed.
But it didn't. 1t seemed rs il q
sledge hammer had landed on the
whole side If the face. The pain was
almost unbearable. 1t was sharp, Sc
we're and stunning. The shock seemed
to jar the whole head and teeth.

operation by way of a more forcible

II have been struck there many a

people seems to know that. It's the
popular impression that a blow be-
meath the ear is thu most effective, but
such is not a fact. This ear. or jugu.

why is this blow in the chin so

differ As TO tie u / think that
there is a very sensitive nerve that
will paralyze, or at least stun the
brain. Most of the fighters you hear
of being knocked out receive the un-
lucky chin blow.
All the advice | have to offer to
those cornered by foc.pad is toswing
your arm quickly around, let your
strength and force go with it. and be
sure you strike that part of the jaw
below and at either end of the mouth.
The blow is not serious, but il
stuns. Always be careful to guard
yourself well with the other hand. The
