mo distinctions were made between

were loyal and had paid their taxes or
not. The orders were to make a clean
sweep. A priest and some leading men
from one village went out to meet an
officer, taking in their hands their tax
receipts, declaring their loyalty and
begging for mercy; but the village was
surrounded and all human beings put
to the bayonet. A large and strong
man, the chief Of one village, was cap

around him, stabbed him to pieces.

from description of the great massa-
ere at Sassoun, near Moosh:
1.-THE government had suspected that
the Talvoveeg villages were harboring
agitators. and had sent orders to certain
Kurdish chiefs to attack the district, as
Stunning the responsibility for all they
should kill and promising the Kurds all
the spoil.
'At first the Kurds were set on and
the troops kept out of sight. The vii
layers, put to the fight, and thinking
they had only the Kurds to deal with,
repulsed them on several occasions.
Some Of the troops assumed Kurdish
dress and helped them In the fight with
more success. Small companies Of
troops entered several villages, saying
they had come to protect them as loyal
subjects, and were quartered among
the houses. In the night they arose
and slew the sleeping villagers, man,
woman, and child.
by this time those In the other vii
lagos were beginning to feel that ex-
termination was the object of the gov
eminent, and desperately determined
to sell their lives as dearly as possible.

pitiless enemy to their physical tor

to work their cruel will on women and
children as well as men.
A returned American missionary,
Frederick Davis Greene, has written a
book that has just been published by
the Philo-Armenian Association and
scattered broadcast over this country,
In which terrible picture is given of
Armenian sufferings. To show how OBJ
stinately the Turkish Government up
holds Its own side Of the case and how
10th It Is to acknowledge its own wrong
doing. 1t Is only necessary to consider
that 1t has had a book printed In New
York as an Offset to Mr.. Greene's work.
In this Armenian affairs are barely
touched on and the kindness Of the Sui
tan and his eagerness for his peoples
welfare is treated Of In glowing colors.
Many Of the atrocities described In
Mr.. Greene's book are too horrible for
publication. Here are some extracts

place on Mount Andoke, south Of
Moosh. where some thousand persons
had sought refuge. The Kurds were
sent In relays to attack them, and after
the besieged had been without food for
several days and their ammunition was
exhausted the troops succeeded In
reaching the summit without any loss,
and let scarcely o man escape.

small plain. When they saw them
selves thickly surrounded on all sides
by Turks and Kurds, they raised their
hands to heaven with an agonizing
moan for deliyerance. They were
thinned out by rife shots and the re-
mainder were slaughtered with bayo-
nets and swords till veritable river Of
blood flowed from the heaps OF the
slain. Forty villages were totally de-
stroyed, and 1t is probable that 49,
600 at least were killed. The lowest

AN old Roman Bath.

The following is called "mock milk
BATH" and wouldn't be bad thing to
try If 1t was not named at all: Make up
a dozen cheese cloth bags about a foot
square. Fill them with oatmeal and
pure white CASTLE soap shaved fine
two-thirds oatmeal and one-third soap.
Put In the bag teaspoonful of borax
and some Orris root or lavender flow
ers, or anything of that kind that your
like as perfume. Have about twelve
gallons Of water for your bath and
make it pretty warm. Use the bag for
a wash rag, and you will come out Of
each bath feeling as though you had
the skin of baby. or course, one bag
will only do for one bath, and the con-
tents will then have to be thrown
away, but the cheese cloth can be
washed and used till 1t breaks in holes.

bunch Of real flowers swung by a band
of ribbon from the top Of the parasol

the spring, and on summer dresses
there will be further Interpretation
of 1t in what may be called cape eff

woman can rejoice, for starch Is sup
posed to take the place Of stiff Innings.
AS to the pleats of the skirts that are
lined with haircloth, there Is already an
attempt at variation of the current
mode, though why there should be
such haste to modify fashion that has
so much to recommend 1t Is hard to
understand. 1t may be that the women
who always try TO be ahead OF the
fashions are disgruntled because godet
pleats have been promptly adopted by
every one, not even the startling fiuc-
tuations in the always high price Of
having scared economical ones
off altogether. One of the attempts to
beautify the beautiful is presented in
the artists next contribution. Even
the woman with short memory for
styles will recall this cut, which, some
how, is linked with blue serge, and
fairly ragged three or four years ago.
Rivals of a fashion are seldom success
fully made after so short a time has
elapsed, but this one bears the stamp
of determined effort, for does not that
baggy blouse front mark the whole as
new? Gray mohair is the material, the
waist being alike back and front and
fastenening invisibly back and front.
A deep lace yoke shows at the top and
the loose lower part is sprinkled with
big bright sequins.
Sequins are much used just now to
supply dash Of contrasting color. and
bands of them over the shoulders are a
common form. Yellow spangles are
favored for this purpose. but when the
bit of contrast is attained by another
method pale green is the fashionable
shade. A year or so ago it was tur-
quoise blue. then cerise had it earlier
in the season and the change to green
suits the warm weather and more COM
plexions than one would think. An ex-

He Has a Hard Time When the

The belief Of the Indians In sorcery
Is a very practical one, and II their
medicine chiefs fail in any appointed
exploit they are promptly tortured.
Frank Gushing, In his experiences
among the Zunis, the wonderful cas-
tle-building Indians of Western New
Mexico, tells that upon returning one
day to the Zuni town he found one
Of the old men Of the tribe on trial for
sorcery, or, rather, for misusipg his
powers.
There had been no rain for weeks,
the wells were drying up and water
famine stared the nation in the face. y
The chiefs decided that the medicine
man had turned witch.
After a long and exhaustive trial the
old man was sentenced to be suspended
from the wall until he would confess.
His hands were tied behind his back,
aud ihel was suspended by his wrists
from a rope. The torture was excru-
ciating, and the old man howled pit
eously for mercy.
"Say something" shouted the Zuni
chief.
What shall say?" whined the old
man.
Say yes or no." yelled the chief.
The old man finally confessed. and
was let down. He went through IN
elaborate series of promises as to his
future behavior, and promised that rain
would fall within four days. 4,
At the end Of four days no rain had
fallen. but the old man had disap-
peared. A party of Zunis went out in
search Of him, and had he been found
he would undoubtedly have been killed.
On the night of the fifth day. how
ever, and while the search was still in
progress, the rain came in torrents.
The next day, says the New Orleans
Picayune, the old man marched proud
ly into the village and was received
with acclamations of great Joy. tHh

windstornh by watching the turkeys
and chickens go to roost each night,
In calm weather the fowls always roost
on their poles with their heads alter,
mating each way; that is, one faces east,
the next west, and so on. But when
there Is going to be high wind they
always p0ost with their heads toward
the direction from which it is coming.
There are reasons for these different
ways Of roosting. 1 take 1t. When

i'm a gown of black broadcloth that fit

ed by a tracing of jet that hardly
showed. A black stiff sailor-shape hat
with wide satin band and one peaked
wing accompanied this and was tilted
charmingly OH one side by an under
band of folded pale green velvet, and
the whole looked fresh and pretty.
Another departure from the pleated
skirt is more marked-indeed. ii is al
most freakish. 1t appears in some Of
the trousseau evening gowns that are
preparing for swell June brides. These
have short waists and close skirts Of
some soft satin in any delicate shade.
Over the satin gown is worn crepe
garment belted in at the short waist
and with n very long scarf train, a
train really not meant to drag on the
floor, but to be carried over the arm.
This Is a suggestion Of style long
gone by, and which at its last appear
ance prevailed till decency banished II,
because In course of time the satin un-
der-garment was almost dispensed
with. What will happen this time none
can tell.
The final illustration shows reviv-

al method of using former fashions,

the bodice decoration dates back to
1880. Designed for young matrons,
this costume is very handsomely car
ried out in crcped and striped grena-
dine. its beauty being greatly added
to by the bright silkcn lining that
shows through the transparent outer
fabric. A rich lace yoke extends over
the shoulders, is banded with bright
silk, and gathered fronts pass over a
three-cornere lace plastron. The
sleeves are of glace silk, with long
lace cuffs, and the skirt Is severely
plain.

ALittle 0iri,s Needlebook.

Buy a ball of crochet silk In any
pretty color and some fine, soft couch
ing cord or heavy knitting cotton. Use
a medium-sized crochet needle, and
start single crochet over the cord. Keep
the cord turned all the while so as to,
wind round and round in circles till
you have a mat about as big as a sill
yer dollar; then finish the edge with a
fine scallop.
When you have two of these mats cut
four circles Of white flannel slightly
smaller than the mats and button-hole
the edge of each with some of the silk.
Sew these flannel leaves fast to one of
the covers at one point, and then GRO
Chef the second cover to the first at the
same spot.
. Fasten a little bow Of baby ribbon
over the joining. Fill the leaves with
needles of assorted sizes.
Lastly, to each mat, directly opposite
the place Of joining, attach a bit Of the
baby ribbon by which to tie them to-
gether and keep the needlebook closed.

a like effect can be attained. Starting
with lavender batiste as the material
the blouse waist is trimmed profusely
with batiste ruffies threaded with lace
insertion, the latter dnderlaid with a
strip of dark lavender silk. A simpler
way would be to sew tiny ruffie to
each side of q bank of silk and cover
the middle with lace. Strips of suf-
ficient length could then be. easily cut
off. Above this garniture appears a
sailor collar entirely covered with lace
Standing collar and ribbon trimming
are dark lavender satin, and the sleeves
are garnished to match the back and
front of the blouse, of so unusual con-
structiOn as to be sure to be held In
the Observers mind for closer inspec-
ton, when the nature of the device
will, Of course, become apparent. The
reason for also using the lace and ba-
tiste trimming on the skirt is to make
clear that waist and skirt always 60
together, but so many skirts are now
entirely plain that this point will strike
some as dearly attained. The skirt
will be just as dainty without the
trimming, anyway, so individual taste
can decide that matter. But the cape
effect promises to be very fashionable.
The market has overdone itself in the
lovely crinkled stuffs, and the glossy,
unruffied surface has acquired a dis
tinction thereby. In very elaborate
weaves and for extremely dressy and
formal occasions, the crepon fabrics
hold their own, but the expensive
sorts are the ones for this purpose. For
summer wear glace crepon will have
favor, and it is a gown Of this fabric
that appears in the next illustration.
Its taffeta lining shines through the
outer fabric. so changeable plaid eff
feet results. Beneath the arms the
bodice is full, the fulness being held
down by pleat of silk. Bands of en-
broidery edge the cuffs Of the sleeves,
which are topped by box-pleated epau-
