TURKISH AFFAIRS.

There is nothing new to be SAID on
the subject OF Turkish outrages on
Armenians, but that reports OF their
continuance have been coming in
daily, and that the powers have
taken no action beyond masslng
their warships in Turkish waters.
The Sultan is believed by everyone
to have authorized the massacres,
but that the trouble has grown and
il is now beyond his power to stop
them. He is said to be in pitiable
state both mentally and physically,
and on Tuesday evening a report
was published stating that he had
been poisoned. Lord Salisbury has
received a letter from TIE Sultan ask
ing him to make another speech
which will offset his former one. This
is an incident unparalleled in the an
nails of diplomacy, and has excited
much comment. In his letter the
Sultan SAYS, II will execute reforms.
The Armenians are blamed for
bringing the trouble on themselves,
but the facts do not bear out
the statement. Great anxiety is
felt for our American missionaries.
Those who have been in a perilons
position in Hartput, Eastern Turkey,
are of the American board. They
are Mrs. Caroline Allen OF Bangor,
Me. Rev. O. p. Allen of Mount Nor
ris, n. Y; Rev. H. n. Barnum OF Lei

adequate protection is being afford

their safety.

The words of America" were writ
ten while the author was at Andover
in 1882. He saw the air, "God save
the King" in an old German song
book, and liking the music, set to
work and wrote the patriotic words
now familiar to every one. The scrap
Of paper which contains the first
draft Of the poem is now in existence,
DR.. Smith never having parted with
it.
Only last April there was gala
time in Boston's Music Hall in honor
OF DR.. Smith, when the school chill
dren of the city paid him loving
tribute. On this occasion DR.. Smith
spoke OF the tune to which his hymn
is sung, saying that although the
British claim it as theirs, he believed
that no one knew its origin. He
himself believed that the English are
the Jews hoemigrated from Israel,
and that they might have taken with
them the tune which was sung in the
temple service. However this may
be, we know that it has long been
the national air OF England to the
words OF God save the King" or
Queen as it is now, and that it
now fires the patriotism OF millions
in this land of ours to the words
MY country, it's of thee,
Sweet land Of liberty,
Thy name sing

THE AUTHOR OF "AMERICA" DEAD.

Rev. Samuel F. Smith, the renowned
and beloved author of our national
hymn, "America,' died suddenly OF
heart disease in car at the New
England railway station, Boston, on
Saturday. He was to preach at
Readsville on Sunday, but a few
minutes before the time of starting
of the train, DR.. Smith, while turning
to address his companionin the seat,
gave gasp and fell back, dead.
The news comes as a shock to all,
and there will be universal regret
felt for the loss of one who has en-
deared himself to his country by
making one of its songs. DR.. Holmes
once said in speaking OF his class
mates, Now there's Smith, his name
will be honored by every school child
in the land, when have been forgot
ten 100 years. He wrote, My
Country, IT'S OF Thee II he had
said Our Country the hymn would
not have been immortal, but that
my was master stroke. Every
one who sings the hymn at once
feels personal ownership in his ma
tive land. The hymn will last as
long as the country"
DR.. Smith was a Boston boy, a
Harvard graduate and a Baptist
clergyman. He was born on October
u, 1903, and at Hprvard was a
member of the famous class OF 90,
which had on its roll the names oil

Judges Benjamin r. Curtis of the
United States Supreme Court and

THE TEACHERS CONVENTION.

Some press comments made on the
fact that in the programme OF the
Teachers Convention no name OF a
Vermont college man is found, drew
forth letter from 5. Blanpied,
chairman of the executive committee,
to the Middlebury Register, stating
that among the first to be asked to
take part in the proceedings, to read
a paper or give an address, were
men from the faculty of each OF the
Vermont colleges-Prof Sanford of
Middlebury and Prof. Emerson of
the University of Vermont.
1t is Just as well that the people
who may have seen the criticism re-
ferred to should know that the COM
mittee did not slight Vermont col
lege men when making up the pro-
gramme, which must he acknowl-
edged as q most excellent one. Presi-
dent Andrews of Brown and Prot.
Dolbear Of TUFTS are the only college
men among the speakers, and they
will not be less interesting because
they come from outside the state,
We trust the convention will prove
a great success in every way, and we
extend a hearty welcome to the Wis
itOrS to our town.

Senator Brice thinks that the recent
elections mean that we will elect
republican president next fall All
the republicans think so, and good
many of the democrats are beginning
to agree with Mr.. Brice. The hnan.
cial and foreign policy of the present
administration does not appeal to
the average American citizen, and he
will be only too ready next fall to
vote for change.

PRESS GLEANINGS.

1t is not impossible that Thanksgiving
day may gradually take on new char
acter and significance from this time on.
The two weeks previous to the dav are
the most important of the year, accord
ing to the foot ball standard of time,
and as the game increases in intensity it
will be fitting tor players to give thanks
that they have not been totally annihi-
lated Free Press.

Before we print another issue
Thanksgiving will have come and
gone. This year has given us a
great deal to be thankful for, and
grateful hearts should unite in praise
to Him who has so bountiiully pro-
vided for his people; not forgetting
that the poor are ALWAYS with us,
and some who have not been pros
pered will be made happy and thank
full by things more fortunate people
can do for them. One way OF show
ing thankfulness is to be kind and
thoughtful to Others and give them
reason to feel grateful. There is
probably not single person who
lacks an opportunity of showing
gratitude in this way, and can thus
make Thanksgiving something deep
er, wider and better than mere day
of selfish luxury.

The case Of ex-consul Waller, now
serving sentence of twenty years in
a French prison, has appealed to the
sympathies of many people in this
country, for there is a deep-seated be-
lief that Mr.. Waller is the victim of
great injustice and persecution. His
family are in need OF assistance and
the New York Press has started
subscription for their benefit. Mr..
E. M. Hill, of this town, is making
an active canvass to stir up sympa-
thy for Mr.. Waller and his family,
and he would urge ally one who
feels a call to assist togive what they
may consider right towards helping
an American citizen who is in
trouble.

HIS DARLING.
BY MRS. II. A. KIDDER.
If you have seen
Ny darling,
In passing
Up or down,
I'm very sure you'll
Say she is
The prettiest
Girl in town.
Her smile is like
The sunshine,
Her cheek is
Like the rose,
She has pleasant
Word for all,
Wbere'er my
Darling goes.
Her eyes are dark
And shining,
And show the
Soul within;
Her lips are like
Two rubies red.
AboYe her
Dimpled chin.
Although my
Love is pretty,
Although my
Love is fair,
Not that alone
Enthralls my heart.
The charms 80
Sweet aud rare.
Her words they
Are so tender,
Her heart it
10 80 true,
And she has promised
To be mine,
Ny own, life's
Journey through.
No wonder that
I love her,
With all nv
Heart aud mind,
This pretty maid,
So fair and true,
The best of
Womankind.
When buds and
Blossoms bring us
The perfumes
OF the spring.
When robins build
Their nests again.
Our wedding
Bells shall ring.

Ever yours KITTY.
GOOD business George Saumarez
said to himself, triumphantly. Tf we
don't circumyent the old dragon, and
have a Jolly hour together, don't know
George Saumarez or Kitty Marth either.
His mirth received a sudden check
on a second perusal OF the letter.
"A mauye domino be reflected, THAT
would be very satisfactory if ! had the
smallest idea what mauve was like. II
must be one of your faded asthetic col.
ors if Kitty wears it, but which f'em,
that is the question
Then a brilliant idea struck him.
perhaps Fitzgerald would know
No sooner thought Of than acted upon
A laundering knock on Fltzgerald's
door On the other side elected muMed

and plunged into perfect cloud of to-
bacco smoke.
Look here. Fitzgerald he cried ca
gerly. no you know mauve when you
see it!
>To tell the truth, I do not said
Fitzgerald, u don't think eyer had q
tie of that color. and at present the only
color I have any acquaintance with, is
blue, because that is how I feel-chaf
aside, dear boy he added, u have been
color blind ever since could see.'
Saumerex was too absorbed to notice
this absurd remark and turned to 60
away, when bright idea struck Fitz
gerald.
,Hold on 7 he exclaimed. Y think

BE took newspaper cutting from q
letter lying on the table.
>This is an account of my cousin &
wedding that was at the other day
and l am almost sule they said the
bridesmaids wore mauve tulle or delu-

They scanned the account eagerly and
were at last rewarded by finding that
the bridesmaids had really worn mauye
dresses, although they were not made
of delusion.'

A Useful Table of Measures
TO hang in the Kitchen.

a USeIul IaDle OF measures
TO hang in the Kitchen.
The following measures Of capacity
may be found useful to hang up in the
kitchen for easy reference:
Four even teaspoonfuls liquid equals
one even tablespoonful.
Three even teaspoonfuls dry material
equal one tablespoonful.
Sixteen tablespoonful liquid equal
one cupful.
Twelve tablespoonful dry material
equal one cupful.
Two cupfuls equal one pint.
Four cupfuls equal one quart.
Four cupfuls -four equal one quart or
one pound.
Two cupfuls solid butter equal one
pound.
Two cupfuls granulated sugar equal
one pound.
Two one-halfcupfuls powdered sugar
equal one pound.
One pint milk or water equals one
pound.
One dozen eggs should weigh one and
one-half pounds.
Skim milk is heavier than whole
milk, and cream is lig liter than either,
while pure milk is . per cent. heavier
than water.
The following table Of proportions is
also valuable
One teaspoonful soda to one cupful
molasses,
Three spoonfuls baking powder to
one quart flonr.
One-half cuptul Of yeast or one-quar-
ter cake compressed yeast to one pint
liquid. One teaspoonful extract to one
loaf plain cake.
One teaspoonful salt to two quarts
a ur.
One teaspoonful salt to one quart
soup.
One scant cuptul Of liquid to two full
cupfuIs of -four for bread.
One scant cup(ul of liquid to two full
cupfuls of flour for mufins.
One scant cupful Of liquid to one full
cupful of flour for batters.
One quart water TO each pound Of
meat and bone for soup stock.
Four peppercorns, four GLOVES, one
teaspoonful mixed herbs for each quart
of water for soup stock.
1t is often said Of good cooks, that
"they meyer measure, they guess" Not
so. Long experience has taught them
to measure and measure accurately, by
means of that same experience and
Judgment. This, however, is most
risky experience for beginners, whose
pinions are still insufficiently furnished
with plumase for independent aerial
navigations.
