Settling the Armenian Question.

It is said that foreign ambassadors to
Turkey recently complained to the sub
lime porte that the prisons of CONSTANT
nople were overcrowded with political
prisoners from Armenia. The government
decided to remove the cause of the COM
plant and shipped 800 of the prisoners on
board man-of-war for transportation to
Africa. The vessel was only gone very
short time, however. and it was mystery
what had become of the prisoners, until a
Russian merchant vessel in the harbor of
Constantinople, while raising her anchor
a few days since, brought up with it 10
haircloth sacks, such as are used by Turk
ish merchants for packing goods for ship
ment. At first the Russian thought that
he had found traces of smugglers, but
when he came to examine the sacks he
found that they were filed with human
bodies, 10 or 20 in a sack. The bodies
were ascertained to be those of Armenians.
1t is said that the grand vizier said not
long ago that he would settle the Arme-
MAN question by annihilating the Arme-
mans, and he is thought to be in a fair way
to fulfill his threat. The matter has been
reported to Russia, as it is thought that
some of the murdered Armenians were

IS. w. Kimball, clerk of the Brattle-
boro village district, has compiled the
vital statistics of the village for the year
1898, showing that the record was 90
births and SO deaths. OF the children
born, 40 were males a so females. OF
the 1872 parents, 20 were of Irish des-
cent, IL Swedish, seven Canadian, two
German, one each of Scottish and Eng
fish, the others being presumably Amer
leans. OF those that died, Il were fe
males and 81 males, ten of them were
under five years of age, eight between
five and twenty, IA between 20 and 40,
IS between 40 and go. 10 between 60 and
10, IA between 70 and so, 8 between 80
and 80, and four over so. 1t will there
fore be seen that 81 of the 50 persons
were over 60 years of age. A large num-
Der of deaths were caused by la Grippe
and pneumonia. Not death occurred
from typhoid fever and only one from
diphthclia. There were four accidental
deaths.

Creaking Boots,

The creaking of a boot has nothing
whatsoever to do with the class of leather
out of which it is constructed, but creaks
for the following reasons: Every sole of a
boot is composed of two separate pieces of
leather. In walking, these two pieces of
leather, in spite of their being sewed firm
ly together, often rub against each other,
and hence the noise.
Eut boot does not always creak at the
sole. 1t may come from the heel, and then
it is caused by what is known as the 'stiff-
ener," or the material which is put in to
make the leather which covers the heel
stiff, becoming loose and moving about.
The cure for the creaking sole is as fol-
lows: The second sole must be taken off,
and some soft material, like felt, placed
between the two soles, and thenceforth the
boots will be noiseless.
If it is the heel that is at fault, the "stiff-
ener'' must be securely sewed in, and some
French chalk may be put in between it
and the leather, thereby lessening the fric-
ton by which the noise is caused. Some
times standing the soles of pair of crealk-
ing boots in oil for "a hours will have the
desired effect, but this remedy is not al
ways successful. London Million.

MRS. FOSTERS KINDERGARTEN

MRS. FOSTERS KINDERGARTEN.
The Boston Traveller sNeaks of a
church kindergarten, originated by a
lady well known in Bennington, as fol
lows: A new and important movement
in church work has just been inaugural
ed by Boston woman, who is living in
the city of Amsterdam, N. Y. She is
the wife of the pastor of the First Meth
odist Episcopal church. Rev. William
w. Foster, ir., and has had for many
years past theory which she has now
put into practice, viz, the establishment
of a church kindergarten on the princi-
pies of Pestalozzi and Fr9bel.
Mrs. Foster has taught children i'll
Sunday school by kindergarten methods,
and she believes that the Protestant
church should be as efficient and Jealous
as the Roman Catholic church, in caring
for very young children. She thinks
that each church should have kinder
garten department with trained kin
dergarten and assistan to care for the
children until they are six or seven years
old.
Her methods find favor with churches
of different denominations of every
name, and by her own training she is far
removed from bigotry, for she is of
stanch Presbyterian ancestry; born and
christened into Boston Congregational
ism, after going through the Boston pub
lie schools, studied at the West Newton
classical school (Unitalian) and later at
Harvard annex, and is married to a
Methodist minister
Several members of her family are in
the Episcopal church, and among many
of that communion this idea is received
with favor. She directs a free kinder
garten every morning, except Saturday
in the church. On Monday the lesson
she taught the day previous in Sunday
school, is continued and amplified. She
is assisted by deaconesses from Bethany
home, Amsterdam, and in connection
with the work, is a mothers educational
society, with lectures by experts in diff
ferent professions, viz, a d. D. S. will
lecture on the care of the teeth, a college
professor on bacteria, and other lectures
will be given on philosophy, art, music,
religious life, hygiene, etc.
Some of the music for the circle Mrs.
Foster has written She graduated at
the Conservatory of Music, and before
her marriage she was Organist at the
Beech street, now Columbus avenue,
Presbyterian church.
She is enthusiastic in her idea that the
methods of the new education be recog-
nized and used by the great Protestant
church, and she thinks the time has
come when this work should be done for
the little one.
Mrs. Foster first spoke upon this idea
in 1882, and her address before q couven-
ton of Sunday school teachers in Lowell
was published at that time in Boston.

ORIGIN OF MUTUAL INSURANCE.

L
How few of the vast number of Mutual

their millions, and how few of the mil

the agencies of said companies have re-

of what gave rise to mutual insurance
companies?

refer to the tri-centennial celebration
of the discovery of Manhattan Island by
Henry Hudson. This took place Sep
TENDER 8, 1909, under the auspices of the
Historical society.
''As the above celebration was consid-
cred an important civic event, am sur
prised that it has not been mentioned by
the historians of New York. There was
another peculiar institution, which has
also escaped their notice, and which |
mention for the benefit of any future his
tOrian. l refer to what was known as
the Mutual assistance bag company,
which was organized in 1903 and was
composed of some of the best citizens.
Each member was required to have a
large bag, and in case of fire they
rushed to the rescue of such property as
could be bagged and carried to place of
safety. There was but little insurance
in those days, and hence the importance
of securing all valuables. The mutual
idea was to give special assistance to
members, but others were not to be neg
lected, and this mutual bag company
eventually gave rise to mutual insurance.
Peter Irving, brother of the author, was
one of the members. He was editor of
