sufferings Of the Poverty-stricken People
of Eastern Turkey.
According to recent reports, mat
tiers in Eastern Turkey seem to be
continually going from bad to worse,
and the sufferings of the poverty
stricken population are increased by
the rascality of the tax-gatherers
All trade was practically stopped for
time by cholera and the ensuing
quarantine. In many places the cost
OF food has been doubled or trebled,
and the difficulties and cost OF trans
portation have brought ruin to many
merchants A published letter writ

one village near the City of Van the
sheep'tax gatherer, Kurd, wrote
down all the flocks and their owners,
so that those who had twenty-five
sheep were written thirty, those who
had tifty sheep had seventy recorded
against them, and so on. The tax
gatherer threatened to accuse the
villages of harboring political fugi-
tives in case they made any com.
plant Every sheep and lamb is
taxed 81 piasters year, {. sum which
is all the average viliager can earn in
a day. In another village 800 sheep
had been stolen by the Kurds before
the arrival of the tax-gatherer, but
the tax for them was demanded and
collected just the same. In another
village in the vilayet of Erzeroom
last November the harvested grain
was left to spoil in the field. The
grain had been piled up in the Gus.
tomary stacks according to law, that
when thrashed the tax-gatherer
might come and take his share, but
he did not come. The title of the
wheat was to be sold to the highest
bidder, but not single man could
raise the lowest sum which the Gov
eminent demanded. In the mean
time rains came, and, as the villagers
were not allowed to touch the grain,
much of it spoiled in the stacks. In
many places the attitude of the Gov
eminent towards its Christian sub.
jects grows ever more and more Sc
verer. For the Christians to own
firearms of any kind is treason,
though their Turkish and Kurdish
neighbors may he and generally are
we'll armed. Christians are often
aroused at midnight and hurried to
prison or to exile without even being
told the reason why To have books
in ones house is often deemed a
sufficient reason for the imprisonment
of the owner until the books can be
examined. And it often happens
that the examination of the books is
delayed for months"

A Travelling Case.

IL was once remarked by Judge of
one OF the courts OF New York CITY that,
ne had 'held chambers in a cab. y
Judge Drummond of the United States
Circuit Court, was starting from Mil.

receiver in a railroad case. Accord.

term in a parlor car and heard arpn.

But still more remarkable hear.
Ing once took place in Sierra County.
California, when Judge Searls of the
District Court was on his wav from
Nevada to Plumas County.
At Downieville two lawyers had
agreed to argue a motion when the
Judge arrived; but as time was press
ing, and both counsel were also going
to Plumas, it was decided to ride
along Oh muleback and hear arpn.
ments on the way.
Up the mule trail from Downieyille
TO Monte Cristo, down to Oak Ranch
and so on to Eureka the argument
went on. At Eureka the case was
examined and summed up, and in due
time decision was reached.
The loser consoled himself by saw.
ing that he had at least assembled the
mountain without being conscious of
the grade.
When the Judge suggested that
the mule might have felt it as usual.
the counsel nai'ely replied:

Wise Advice.

Mr.. Charlesworth, published in Lon
don some years ago. there are many
anecdotes OF that remarkable man.
At one time when Mr.. Hill was
preaching for the benefit OF a charity,
a note was handed to him, the writer
OF which asked whether it would be
right for bankrupt to contribute to
the good cause.
NO" said the preacher, after he
had read the note; "but. my friends,

evening. as people will be sure to say,

CalVlnSk Some OF the nObleSt hymns
that are moving through the ages,
distributing Gods bounty from their
wings were written by Roman Cath
Olics The unity of mans life is ex-
pressed in hymns and psalms while
the exterior is full Of fightings, sep
arations, and alterations. So in
hymns and psalms we have a univer-
sal ritual. Everybody loves the
hymn book with the right hymns and
the right tunes. with no fences nor
walls Of division raised between
them. With such a hymn book
Princeton sings with Andover and
they together sing with Allegheny.
Universal experience, as of sorrow or
Joy. brings men into most intimate
and profound sympathieS Where
truth has had u lyrical form, and has
been addressed to the imagination
and the emotions, it has been most
e1ectual in bringing men together.
In other words it is the theology of
the heart that unites men. It is
only the theology OF the head that
splits men asunder.
There are many hymns and tunes
which are radiant with histories
our histories. Our very childhood
Is embalmed in sacred tunes and
hymns Our early lives and the lives
OF our parents hang in the atmos-
phere of sacred song. All the things
which make the memory of youth
tender and beautiful may be renewed
by the singing of hymns that are
sacred. Hymns that gin themselves
are poor and barren may become to
us gorgeous MN Beecher's I'm

joins 1T upon US that we should make a
more Intimate acquaintance with the
benefactors whom we cannot hope to

by which the poorest of us can secure
some OF these great presences in our

we, in our human hive, have each
our own cell to build and our own

need of all the wisdom of the ages to
enable us to work in harmony with
the great laws and progress of the
universe. So let US from time to
time call to mind that word of the
Master which bids us take no thought
for the morrow. Not that for one
moment the interests of the future
should be sacrificed or neglected, hut

REV. T.. DE WITT TALMAGE offered
a reward of 500 to any intidel who
could prove by one witness that he
had read the Bible through twice.
The doctor said he did not believe
that any infldel alive had read it
thoroughly.
THE Indian Witness of Calcutta,
India, states that the will of the
late Sir William Mackinnan assigns
$50, 900 to missions in India, and
800, 900 for annuities for aged or in
valided missionaries OF the Free
Church OF Scotland, or their widows
or families.
The late Patrick HalIigan of Drog-
heda. Ireland, has bequeathed by his
will $65, 1000 to the Association for
the Propagation of the Faith. For
the thirty years previous to his death
he gave an annual subscription to
the same association Of $3.50.
IT is reported that four out of the
twenty-four chaplaincies in the navy
are vacant-a very rare occurrence.
The position is in many respects a
difficult one, and one that many per-
sons are very unwilling to take.
There is, however, furnished an op-
portunity for Christian work OF the
best type for those who are fitted for
it.
THE great Congress of Religions
which has been in session in Chicago
appears to have been iustifying the
expectation that it would prove the
most remarkable gathering of recent
times. The average attendance at
the sessions has been upward of
5000, and the interest manifested in
the proceedings has been constant
and intense. 1t is difficult to see
how such gathering can fail to mark
an epoch in the religious history of
the world.
A CONTROVERSY has been going on
between the Jews and the people of
Switzerland, in regard to the slaugh-
tering Of the animals. The Jews
always take the life of an animal by
bleeding. The Swiss Humane So
ciety prosecuted the Hebrew butchers
for cruelty to animals. The law for.
bidding needless pain to animals was
enforced against them. Inasmuch
as the Jews had religious scruple
on the subject, it was considered a
great hardship and they appealed to
the country for relief, but the peo.
pie sustained the law in overwhelm.

Saying Unpleasant Things.

There is certain class OF people
who take great satisfaction in saying
unpleasant things. They call this
popularity speaking their minds, "
plain speaking" Sometimes they
dignity it by the name of "telline
the truth" AS il truths must be
unpleasant in order to be true! Are
there no lovely charming, gracious
truths in the world? And il there
are, why can not people diligently
tell these, making others happier for
the telling, rather than hasten TO
proclaim all the disagreeable ones
they can discover? The sum of hu.
man misery is always so much greater
than the sum of human happiness
that it would appear the plainest
duty to add to the latter all we can,
and do what lies in our power to
diminish the former. Trides make
up this amount. and in trifies lie the
best and most frequent opportunities
1t may seem little thing to tell an.
other what is out of place in her an.
pearance or POSSESSIONS; but il the
information is unnecessary and make
her unhappy, it is clearly an unkind
and unfriendly action.
