Christian philanthropy was confined en-

the comforting assurance that we are not
peculiar in our clerical donations.
Father Pierot, parish priest, lives near
Bergarac in France. He is an ideal cure
and is much beloved for his pure life and
generous deeds, not only by his own people,
but by all who knew him.
1t CHANGED last year, at the time of an un-
usually fine vintage one of Father Pierot's
congregation. in order to show his regard
for the priest, suggested to the winemak ers
roundabout that they secure new barrel,
place it in the cures cellar, and that it
should be filled by each ones pouring into
it gallon of wine as a gratuity.
The suggestion was promptly acted on,
and the barrel was filled.
After the wine harvest was over, the
priest, to show his appreciation of the peo
pies kindness, invited them to supper
his house. and, like the professional Amer
lean donator, they accepted at once
When all were seated, Father Perot said:

conduct, the wine should be something

servant), go down to the cellar and bring
up large pitcher of that wine"
The servant did as he was commanded,
and soon returning with the vessel in both
hands and puzzled smile on his face he
began filling the glasses.
The fluid looked like water, and it did
not require searching analysis to prove
that it was water. Expecting that every
one else would bring wine, and that his own
gallon of water would not be detected
among the lot, each one of those generous
and pious parishioners, including the man
who had started the idea, had brought
water, and there was not drop of wine in
the vessel
The people looked sheepishly at each
other across the board, but the good cure
rose equal to the occasion. MY friends"
he said, I'VE read in the sacred writings
that at Cana of Galilee the Master turned
water into wine. That was an ancient mira
Gle. But it has been reserved for the good
Christians of modern times to do some
thing quite as wonderful, and that is to
turn wine into water"

full slave, an old negro woman, who had
been his attendant since his birth.
The woman, being called into the house
on some business, left the child seated In
the open court, which in Turkey, as in
southern Spain, is peculiar to the better
class Of residences. On the return of the
nurse the child was gone, and although an
immediate search was instituted no trace
of the little fellow was found.
In his sore straits the heartbroken father
applied for help to the scraskier. or military
commander. of the district.
The officer on reflection came to the con,
clusion that the child, on account of its
cries, could not have been taken far, and
that some of the neighbors were RESPONSE.
BILE for the abduction.
Without communicating his suspicious
to any one the officer directed member
of his staff to enter the neighboring mosque
that evening at the hour of prayer and in a
voice that the worshipers could hear to
summon the imam, or priest, to come i'm
mediately to the military palace.
Though a very unusual proceeding, the
priest obeyed When he came into the sol

The Turks are, as a rule, as wanting in
curiosity as the North American Indians.
Consequently on returning to the mosque
only one man came to the priest to ask the
reason for such an extraordinary summons.
The priest gave an oracular reply and re-
ported the circumstance to the officer so
commanded
With the promptness of man now sure
of his ground, the scraskier sent soldiers to
arrest the inquisitive man. Hewas brought

with the murder of the child Stoutly and
swearing by the holy name of the prophet,
the accused denied his guilt,
Meanwhile other soldiers who had been

A Good Sign.

New stories of Sir Walter Scott are con
tinually cropping up, just as they are of
Abraham Lincoln, and am strongly of the
belief that many of them have been invent

Sir Walter was sitting in his library one
day when tall highlander who had been
building an inn near by came in and said:
May it please you, Sir Walter, am goin
to call my place The Flodden Inn, and as
ye've writ a poem on Flodden Field it
struck me and the guild wife that you might

MoHAMMEDAN MISSIONS.

Our Troy exchanges have the report
of lecture in that city recently, by
Rev. Marcus b. Parounagian, that is
timely inasmuch as missionaries of the
Crescent in the United States are seek
ing to make converts from followers of
the Cross. His subject was "Mohamme-
danism and Turkey" and the young
student although he spoke English
brokenly, handled his subject in man
ner which greatly pleased the congrega-
ton. Mr.. ParOunagian began by telling
of the effect the Mohammedan religion
had upon his country, and said that
country, which was once the hotbed of
Christian y, was now the greatest Mo-
hammedan community in the world. He
also dwelt upon the early history of his
country, which is told in the Bible, and
stated that inasmuch as almost all the
natives of the earth had come from that
land he considered himself among
brothers in this country, whose habits
and customs, scenery and all else had be-
come dear to him during his brief So
journ in this country. The speaker
then, to illustrate the scope of the songs
of the Christian religion, sang in his ma
tive tongue the hymn "Jesus, Lover Of
My Soul" He spoke of the early histo
ry of the MOhammedan religion, the
manner in which it was started and it's
wonderful growth, there being at pres
ent 20,000,000 followers of that faith in
Turkey alone and 100000 in India
In the whole world he said there were
$50, 10000 adherents of that religion,
while there were only 100000 follow
ers of the Protestant faith. He referred
to the fact that consul from this coun-
try to East India had recently returned
from that land after having been con
verted to the Mohammedan faith and
was now preaching it and also editing
paper called the Moslem World in New
York. But" said the speaker, ''he
cannot succeed in his effort as the
people in this country are two well edu-
Gated and the principles of the Christian
faith too thoroughly instilled within
them to allow themselves to be turned
from their God" Mr.. Parounagian
graphically dwelt upon the present poor
condition of Turkey, and attributed it
entirely to the Moslem faith. He also
spoke of his efforts in this country to
secure an education and the many
pleasant receptions he had been meeting
with. Mr.. Parounagian is an Armenian
student, who is procuring his education
for the purpose of returning to his own
country to act as n missionary.

THE NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

The New England Magazine appears
with renewed life and energy in an ex-
cellent number of articles adapted for
the season and of general as well as Cs-
pecial inter est. The mountains make
the topic of prominence in prose and
poetry, as the opening article on Mount
Washington by Julius II. Ward shows,
also in illustration. A valuable illus
trated paper is sin the Footsteps of
Jane Austen" by Oscar Fay Adams,
who travelled in England for the purpose
OF studying the homes of the novelist.
The result was to find that the novelist
passed the Al years of her life in the
South of England and mostly in her ma
tive Hampshire. The article is well
illustrated, "a Frontier Army Post" is
carefully described by Price Collier, who
says in conclusion that he believes that
the army has moral as well as physi-
cal status, and that though as a nation
we do not take much interest in our
army, that profession requiring endur-
ance and courage may be good exam
pie to lives exposed to the temptations
of epicure luxury. The biographical
Experiences During Many Years" by
Benjamin P. Shillaber. are varied and
interesting. Bya curious intention, all
the short stories bear upon the occult
experiences of spiritualism or mesmer-
ism, making weird studies of POSSIBLE
ties. The number contains other arti-
Giles both serial and of briefer form.

NO BLANKS IN THIS Co>pEr1oN.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COSPETI0N,
This is a competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not &c
cepted has spent his labor on something
of very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's compete
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-One that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

London Letter
Every day seems to add fresh
name to the list of titled ladies
who work for the press. Four
Duchesses, those of Cleveland, Rut-
land, Sutherland ADD Bedford,
have at one time or another con-
tributed articles to magazines.
Lady Greville is in receipt of a
steady income from quite a num-
Der of papers to which she is a re-
gular contributor, and so is Lady
Colin Campbell, while Lady Con-
stance Howard, a sister of the Earl
of Winchelsea, is almost equally
well known. The Countess of Cork,
too, is generally engaged upon
some journalistic work, and there
are hosts of others, the Hon. Emily
Lawless, the well-knOwn Irish
novelist, and the Hon. Miss Eden
among them.
UnmOved by the want Of success
which has hitherto marked her
efforts to establish a teetotal organ
for women, Lady Henry Somerset
is once more on the warpath, and
in her crusade against the drink
demon has decided to take upon
herself the responsibilities of edi-
torship. Lady Henry Somerset is
entirely absorbed by her devotion
to the good work to which she
gives all her time, and has but
little leisure to spare for the friVOl-
Gus things of life. Another still
more ardent enthusiast on the
subject, whose cooperation will be
of great assistance to Lady Henry,
is the Countess of Carlisle. Both
the Earl and Countess are very
strong teetotalers; indeed, since
the Earl has had the manage
ment of his estate he has closed all
the public houses on his property
When he succeeded to the title
four years ago he found the beer
cellar at Castle Howard plenteOus-
ly supplied with home-brewed ale
indeed the brew houses were IA
nous all over England, but they
have been entirely destroyed and
the watts emptied. Lord Carlisle
leaves no stone unturned in his eff
fort to practice what he breaches
It's probable that Lady Carlisle's
two daughters, one of whom is mar
ried to professor af Greek at Glas
gov University and the other to g
Don at Oxford, will also be contrib
utOrS to the new paper, as they
share their parents view.
