Music and Science.

Sir Charles Lyell, that devout man OF
science, used to say that he liked music,
for it allowed him to go on thinking his
own thoughts. So it evidently did, for
Frances Power Cobbe writes of him
that, at great musical party, he sat
beside her and conversed thus in every
interval In the music of Mendelssohn
and Handel:
"Agassiz has made n discovery.

THE BASHI-BAZOOK.

| Caspian Sea, and on the Ararat range
the snow has never been known to
melt. In spite of It's altitude, however,
the country has agricultural advant-
ages OF no mean order. The tablelands
are not Of uniform height, and on their
various terraces the products Of any
country on the globe may be raised,
from the dates of Arabia to the oats
and barley Of Norway. The country Is
otherwise wealthy besides, for there
are mines Of gold silver and several
other metals, while coal is abundant
In many localities, and petroleum is
found In score Of different places.
Under even passable form OF govern
ment Armenia would be singularly
prosperous country, but the curse Of
Turkish misrule has blighted every
hope of the inhabitants.
Industry Is checked for no one
knows the amount Of taxes that will be
required OF him; nor, indeed, can he be
certain that after the products OF his
fl Id have been garnered they will not
all be eaten or carried off by bands Of
irregular Turkish troops, who will con-
slider themselves singularly forebear-
ing If they do not also take his life. In
stances have been known of farmers
who raised n hundred bushels Of grain
and saw eighty-five bushels carried off
under the name Of taxes, to feed a
rapacious soldiery. Under such cir
cumstances, the people have no incen-
tive to industry, and so Armenia, like
every other Turkish province, is gradu-
ally wasting away; the Industrious and
economical portion of the population
are leaving as fast as they can, and this
remarkable region will soon be DESC
late.
The inhabitants are not all Armeni-
ans; In fact, the Armenians now form
only a small fraction of the population

filthy enough to breed a pestilence,
and everywhere savage dogs so to and
fro In troops, and fight with each other
for the offal that Is cast out Of the doors
and windows OF every house into the
street
But there Is hope for Armenia. A
brave people like the natives OF this his
toric land can not always be kept in
subsection to degenerate race of
thieves and murderers like the Turks.
The incompetence of the latter to gov
ern anything has been SO plainly shown
for century and half that the world
has ceased to expect anything from the
Ottoman power. But for the half
crazy fear that the English display
whenever anybody raises the cry OF
Russian wolf, Armenia would long ago
have been delivered from the rule Of
the Turk. Twice in the present CEN
fury has Russia been ready to occupy
the whole province, and twice has the
deliverance of Armenia been postponed
by the trickery Of British politics and
diplomacy. 1t Is true that in being
placed In Russian territory the Ar
menians would merely exchange one
master for another. but experience has
shown that while the Gar is a hard
master, he is more tolerant than the
Sultan.

THE WRITING WOMAN.
A Delightful Comparative Study with
the Writing Man.

n
the Writing Man.
When n man writes he wants pomp
and circumstance and eternal space
from which to draw. If he writes at
home he needs q study or library,
and he wants the key lost and the key
hole pasted over SO that nobody can
disturb him. His finished products
are of much Importance to him, and,
for time, he wonders why the planets
have not changed their orbits or the
sunshine acquired new brilliancy be-
cause he has written something by
cast-iron method.
A woman picks up some scraps of n
| copy book or the back of a pattern,
sharpens her pencil with the scissors
or gnaws the end sharper She takes
an old geography, tucks her foot under
her, sucks her pencil periodically, and
produces literature.
She can write with Genevieve pound
! ing out her exercises on the piano, with

baby, and the baby pulling the cats
tail. The domestic comes and goes for
directions and supplies, but the course
Of true love runs on, the lovers WOO and
win, and the villains kill and die, among
the most commonplace surroundings.
A mans best efforts, falling short Of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman who writes will often, with tho

Native Home of Man.

The bloody massacres perpetrated by
the Turks and Kurds In the heart OF
armenia served to call public atten-
tion to one of the oldest and most re-
markable countries on the globe. a
country once rich and populous and
powerful, but, like every other land
that has suffered the curse OF Turkish
rule, now desolate. There was a time
when the Armenians numbered at
least 25,0O0,000 population, but now
It is estimated that not more than
100000 remain in their native and
well-beloved land, while 100000 or
100000 more are wanderers TO and
fro over the earth, sober, industrious,
economical citizens of many lands and
well-to-do in every country but their
own. They would do well there also
were II not for the Turks. The Otto
man Empire has proved itself in mod
ern times, as the Persian in ancient,
national curse, sore, an ulcer among
nations; 1t has been said of the Persian
State that of all the nations over which
It gained control not one ever raised
Its head again, and the statement Is al
most literally true Far more fortunate
have been the States that have suffer
ed the blight of Turkish rule. One by
one they have risen in rebellion and
have shaken off the Ottoman yoke.

acquiring independence, anu uneiv Is
no reason to doubt that in time, and,
perhaps, in no very long time, the Ar
menians will be as free as the Greeks
or Bulgarians are to-day.
1t Is singular land, that in which
the fight for liberty is now being
waged under such fearful odds. 1t Is
a land SO old in history that the earliest
legenUS of the human race point to
II as the first home of mankind, and
SO far do the sober facts of history
confirm the wild fancies Of legend
that historian, scientist and myth
gatherer all unite in the belief that
somewhere in the region now general
ly designated as Armenia, the human
race first began that process of migra-
ton and development that has led to
the peopling Of every corner OF the
earth. The Garden OF Paradise was
in Armenia. Adam was an Armenian:
80 was Noah, for his ark rested on
Ararat, where, according Unpopular ira
dition, it remains to this day, having
been seen, or at least reported to be
seen, by two or three different travel
ers. From Armenia began the dIsper-
sion of the nations, and all the legends
OF the early days point the finger back
toward that singular land at the head
waters Of the Euphrates and Tigris as
the home of every nation that preserv-
ed a memory OF its own origin.
The limits OF Armenia proper are by
no means accurately determined, for ut
different times the country has been
under many different governm ents, and
even at present 1t is divided between
Turkey, Russia and Persia, and the
boundary lines form q never-ceasing
source OF dispute between these three
powers. The truth Is that Armenia
really has no boundaries worth the

To do them justice, however, the
Christians, so called, of Armenia, are
not much better than their Turkish
been hardened and brutalized by ages
OF oppression and suffering; they re-
gard the Turks as their natural enc
mics, and are just as ready to fight the
Ottomans as the latter are to fight
them. Unfortunately for the Chris
tians, however, they are hopelessly in
the minority, and so from time to time
the world is shocked with these nara
tives Of Turkish atrocity. In cold fact,
there is very little choice between
Christian and Moslem in that part of
the world, and the swarms Of wander
ing bandits sometimes consist of both
Christians and Moslems, who rob both
parties with strictest impartiality.
The cities Of Armenia are not very
numerous nor very populous, neither
are they very prosperous. The best
among them are Kars, that has stood
more than one historic siege from both
Russians and Turks; Erivan, for
tai of one province; Erzeroum, which
once boosted population of 10000,
but now has hardly more than 10000,
If so many, the reason Of the decline
being the same as that for the depres-
sion in every other part of the coun-
try Erzeroum, the seat of the Turk
fish Pasha who misgoverns the country,
is well fortified after an Oriental fash
ion, having great massive walls that
have been neglected until they are
ready to fall down of their own ac-
cord, big wooden gates covered with
plates Of iron, closed every night at an
hour after shutdown, when belated
travellers are supposed to be COM
PEELED TO remain outside, which, in fact,
however, they rarely do, but simply
walk along the wall until they find u
place where it has fallen down enough
to enable them to climb over, and then
enter and 60 about their business. En-
zeroum was once n city Of grand pro-
portions and great commercial con-
sequence, but its glory has departed.
Situated as it is on the high road be-
tween Teheran and Mecca, the annual
caravans of pilgrims from Persia

Badly Fitting Stockings.

Seamless stockings are announced as
n novelty in hosiery. The necessity
that stockings should fit the foot COM
fortably, yet snugly, is not always APP
preciated as it should be. 1t is as harm
full to wear a stocking too short as a
shoe. On the other hand, a too loose
stocking, which folds over, makes a
painful footgear, and, 1t is asserted
by some chiropodists, is one Of the most
fruitful causes of calloused spots.
Mothers, too, often ignore the fact that
stockings of different makes vary
greatly In size, even In the same num-
bers. This applies to the instep meas
urements as well as to the length Of
the foot. 1t is good plan to carry an
old stocking when buying a fresh sup
ply for the children. A little compari-
son will save the youngsters much
discomfort and sometimes a lasting
defect
