AN APPEAL TO THE POPE.

Armenians Ask His Holiness to Re-
monstrate with tho Sultan.
ROME, Nov. 30.-The pope has re-
ceived urgent appeals from Armenians
in several places asking him to use his
good Offices in their behalf with the sui
tan. Appeals to the vatican in addition
have been made from England under
the belief that none OF the powers are
willing to assume the responsibility OF
opening negotiations with the other
powers for joint Intervention, and also
in this belief that it is impossible for the
pope TO remain Indifferent to the suffer
ings of the Armenian Christians.

An Indian has been known to carry a

nearly 800 miles In some parts where
the Tarahumaris serve the Mexicans they
are used to run in the wild horses, driving
them into the corral. 1t may take them
two or three days to do it, sleeping at
night and living on little pinole. They
bring in the horses thoroughly exhausted,
while they Themselves are still fresh. They
will outrun any horse if you give them
time enough. They will pursue deer in
the snow, or with dogs, in the rain, for
days and days, until at last the animal is
cornered and shot with arrows or falls an
easy prey from sheer exhaustion, its hoofs
dropping off. --Scribner' Magazine.

GRADING THE HONEY.

An Important Duty Frequently Neglected
by Beekeepers.
The honey produced from the vari-
Gus plants differs greatly, and should,
as far as possible, be kept separate.
This. however, need not generally be
carried beyond division into three
classes generally known as white
clover, Eastwood and buckwheat.
Some would add apple-blossom. while
others would content themselves with
subdividing it into light and dark. To
separate these various grades, the
honey-boxes should be put on at the
beginning of the season for a certain
grade, for instance just when the
white clover is coming into full bloom.
Many colonies will not be able to fill
an entire super during the clover
period of one season but some of the
sections will be entirely filled and
others well started. If some other
plant producing white honey is at
hand at the end of the clover season
perhaps the entire super will be filled
up with a product that will be nearly
equal in taste and appearance to the
pure clover. When the super is full
always remember that the pure clover
sections will be found directly over
the entrance of the hive unless some
internal means of changing this ar
rangement exists. Bees first fill up
the nearest racks or sections, those in
the center over the entrance being
nearly finished before those towards
the ends are hardly begun on.
Buckwheat honey, unlike clover and
Eastwood. is dark brown, and pos
sesses very strong flavor peculiar to
itself. 1t is certainly advisable to
avoid allowing this to mix with the
lighter sorts. both on account of the
difference in color, and because the
flavor is very distasteful to some, and
especially sought by others. AS a
rule, carrying with it the usual num-
Der of exceptions. the earlier honey
plants produce light and the later ones
dark honey.-American Gardening.

In some way she was under the inn

said. There We're few cheap chromos

BURIED ALIVE.
A Remarkable Story Told by the Late Guy
de MaupasSant.

"A heHlaEhsfDle story 1O1u Nv Tie AdCc Uuy

| There was published recently a story
| of a young woman who was buried
| alive during a trance produced by the
| administration of gas for the purpose
| of having her tooth pulled. Luckily
| these occurrences are very rare, and do
not always have SO terrible a termina-
| ton.
A recent French paper contains a
story of such an occurrence as told by
the late Guy de Maupassant, which has
been condensed and translated.
Juliet, the daughter of prosperous
French gentleman, was afflicted with q
disorder of the heart. She one day fell
dead, as was supposed, and after suit
| able time was laid away in the family
vault. Her body was arrayed in her
first ball dress, with her rings, brace
lets, necklaces and other Jewelry. Her
father, FRUSTRATED with grief, returned
to the house and sought his cham
Der. His valet. who had assisted in
the burial, waited upon him, attended
to his few wants, and retired. The
gentleman passed a sad and terrible
night. It was cold, the wind howled
outside. the snow flew, and he could
think only of his beloved daughter in
the tomb.
Suddenly, at three o'clock in the
morning, he was startled by the ring
ing of the front door & I'll. He jumped
to his feet, wondering who could arrive
at such an hour.
Again the bell rang. The servants
either did not hear it or feared to go to
the door. He took candle and de-
scended the stairs, but, before opening
the door, demanded: "Who is there?"
There was no answer, and in his
weakness and grief, feeble with fright.
he slowly opened the door. In the
shadow he saw a ghostlike figure
dressed all in white. He fell back,
stammering: "Who are you?"
at is l. papa!'
1t was his daughter. He thought he
was going crazy. He recoiled from
her and motioned her back with his
hand.
do not fear, papa. I was not dead.
Some one robbed me of one of nv
rings and cut off my finger. The
blood began to run and that revived

ne app.eciat ted the good fortune that
haa come to him. He took her I'D to
his cham Der and rang for his valet to
rekindle the fire. procure some nourish-
ment, and go for the doctor. But when
the man entered he uttered a piercing
cry and expired. 1t was he who had
broken into the tomb, knowing that
the corpse had been attired with the
valuable jewels, mutilated her hand,
and left her, as he supposed, dead.
When he saw her standing in the room
he thought it was her ghost come back
to der ounce him, and he was fright
ened to death.-Detrcit News

The strong facial resemblance
which married couples often acquire
after living together a long period OF
years, harmonious in thought and feel
ing, and subject to the same conditions
in life, have often been commented
upon. The Photographic society OF
Geneva recently took the pictures OF
seventy-eight couples for an investiga-
ton of this subject. The result was
that in twenty-four cases the resem-
blance in the personal appearance OF
the husband and wife was greater than
that Of brother and sister, in thirty
cases it was equally great, and in only
twenty-four was there a total absence
of resemblance.

FEEDING AT A LOSS.
40" 20 Manage Poultry SO as to Secur,
Fair Profit.

now co Manage Poultry as to Secure q
Fair Profit.
1t should be considered in keeping
poultry that flock of hens are, to a
certain extent, scavengers on the farm,
and they should be permitted to per-
form that function. The hen can see
the smallest seed on the ground, and
every square inch of the surface is
carefully searched. The amount of
food which she can secure for herself
during the day, unaided, is quite large.
and she consumes a great variety of
substances that would be lost but for
her appropriation of them On the
range she not only consumes grass and
seeds. but destroys large number of
insects also, and every ounce of food
thus secured is SO much gain to the
farmer. of which he should avail him
self.
During the summer months the hens
require less food than in the winter,
though something depends on how
they may be situated. and how many
eggs may be layed, but when on the
range they cannot fail to secure a full
supply of all that they require if they
are active and Industrious. If the
farmer continues to feed them he will
waste the food given. as the hens will
not seek food on the range if they are
fed in the barnyard, becoming lazy
and sluggish, and also overburdened
with fat. BY withholding food the
cost of the eggs will be reduced, and
OF course the profit will be much
greater.
AS an experiment. take two focks
that are alike. and give them free
range. Feed one flock at the barn
yard, allowing grain twice day, and
compel the other flock to pick up its
food provided the range is good). and
the flock that receives no food at the
barnyard will not only lay more eggs
than the other, but will also keep in
better condition, while the flock that
is given plenty of grain will be fat.
and will contain a larger proportion of
hens that desire to sit. OF course.
such metho d will not answer for all
the seasons. but applies to the warm
days of summer only, and the expert
ment is worthy of being made.-Farm

The Value of Bermuda Grass.

Many people from the south condemn
bermuda grass on account OF its stay
ing qualities Taey say that ia a few
years it will take a place." and there
is no successful farming with it. That
is partly true in the more southern
states, but experiments at the Okla
homa station by Prof Magrsder show
that late fall or winter blowing, ex-
posing the roots, will kill it out. Ber-
muda is not an early grass. but drought
seems to have little effect on it. 1t is
green and crisp the entire summer
through and if not cut or pastured too
latp it is green next to the soil nearly
all winter.
