Armenians Fear Another Massacre.

Advices received from Frzinghamam.
Armenia, say that great terror prevails
there owing to the attitude of the
Turkish authorities. The latter, in
consequence of an attack which was
recently made by brigands upon II
Turkish colonel during which mem
Der of his escort was killed,
are believed to be taking steps which
will have most serious consequences.
The Armenians are accused of being
the authors of the attack on the col
onel and it is alledged that a large
force of Turkish troops has been re-
taliating by attacking the villages and
monasteries of the vicinity and cngag-
ing in other acts of violence. The
Armenians. fearing n recurrence of the
of the Sassoun outrage. have appealed
TO the ambassadors of the powers at
Constantinople for protection.

Weak N eVes

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the Or
gsns and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and il the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
Of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result Of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This Is q concise, reasonable expla-
nation Of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.

A. TO Kissing.

A writer who seems to be pretty well
posted on the subject has this to say
about the all too-common practice OF
kissing, in the Illustrated American;
LET me say a few words about tho
ancient and honorable practice Of KISS
ing, as It is understood, or rather mis-
understood, by American women. IL
Is no exaggeration that Enropeal trav'
elers are shocked and European moral
lists alarmed when informed OF the ex-
tent to which young people in America
indulge in promiscuous kissing. AND
the hypocrisy lies in the fact that
American girls and American women
will deny, as a unit, that they either
kiss promiscuously or enjoy such kiss
ing, although tens Of thousands Of men
all over the country can testify that
they do In France and other Euro
pean countries bride brings her hus-
band virgin lips, which have never been
touched by the lips Of any human be-
ing; at least that is true in theory, and
very commonly In practice. OF COURSE
l am speaking Of the period in a young
girls life after the age of eight or ten.
From that time on she is taught that
the bushes Of her lips are neither Tor
father or mother, for brother or sister,
for playmate or friend, but only for the
man who will one day lead her to the
altar. Her father and mother kiss her
tenderly on the forehead, her school
girl friends kiss her lightly on
the cheek, her boy playmates
never kiss her at all, or would
be soundly thrashcd II caught so
doing. As a matter OF fact, young peo-
pie in France do not indulge in pro-
miscuous kissing, whether covertly or
under guise Of kissing games, such as
are played all over America, not only
by children, but by their elders. What
are these games except an opportunity
for kissing9 What is the explanation
of the universal mistletoe bough at hol-
iday time except the desire for kissing9
Why are our girls at such pains to hang
the fatal berries in conspicuous places
except that they are ready and anxious
to pay the penalty? How many Amer
lean girls who go out driving or sleigh
riding alone with young men, as the un-
wise and unparalleled custom OF this
country permits, can say that they re-
turned home without being kissed? And
in the seeing Of Nellie home, how many
times do Nellies lips escape paying
tributco Ask the trees in the forest
how many picnic parties gather under
their branches without a generous dis
play of kissing. But do not ask the
fair hypocrtes who get and give the
kisses! There Is no country under tho
sun where such freedom between the
sexes is not only permitted, but cncour-
nped AS in America. have no hesita-
