A BABY | KNOW.

Gods angel was hidden to make her fair,
So he wove the sunshine into her hair.
He took of the lhidnoon' s cloudless skies
And fasbion'd d therefrom her two blue eyes.
He washed her white with the sinless SHOWS
And painted her cheeks with the dawn's faint
rose.
He dimpled her tiny hands and feet,
He made her sunny and soft and sweet,
He nodded her round white limbs with art,
He got her from heaven pure child heart.
Then he kiss'd her lips and her brow and eyes
And brought her, sleeping, from paradise.
Such virtue lies in those kisses three
That how weary at heart are we,
The look and the smile on our baby's face
Bring rest and comfort and endless grace.

A Disappointing Haul.

"Some folks say" said fisherman,
"that if fish once gets into pound
net it never gets out until it is taken
out, but as a matter of fact fish often
get out of pound nets. 1t is common for
sheepshead, bluefish, Spanish mackerel
and shad to get out of them. I've been
to pound net on Sunday and counted
2S5 bluefish, and when the net was
hauled on Monday found only four or
five. The fish get in, and if they find
the opening and get started right they
can get out. They follow one another

Experience has shown that Mr.. Reed
has very little regard for mere precedent
whensit stands in the way of what he
believes to be for the best interests of the
country. In counting quorum he de.
tied precedent hundred years old and
never finched through the tremendous
uproar that followed. In making I'D his
committees he will not hesita to DEFY
precedent if he believes it to e an obsta-
Gle to securing the men best fitted to head
the various committees. THROUGHOUT his
long career he has never shirked RESPONSE
bility and the prospect of an outcry has
never deferred him from what he deemed
wisest and best under all the circum-
stances. Those people who are presuming
that Mr.. Reed will necessarily adhere
slavishly to precedent in making up the
committees are presuming altogether too
much. Mr.. Reed will not violate pre-
cedent merely for the sake of doing so.
but he will not adhere to it if he deems
that departure from it will produce bet.

them, and that only the disposition was
wanting. If the power as we'll as the dis
position were lacking Of course demon
stration would do no good, and SO might
as well be abandoned.
DR.. Cyrus Hanlin, whose long resi-
denoe in Constantinople and thorough
acquaintance with Turkish cha racter,
makes his opinion of great value, believes
that the present atrocities were instigated
by the Sultan, and that he can stop them
If he will. The first assumption is in all
probability true; there is more doubt
of intelligence enough to know that he
is running great risk OF losing his
throne and having his kingdom taken
away from him by defying the sentiment
of combined Europe. He has lost
provinces before by reason of his ne
glect to suppress satrocities in his
dominions., He cannot have forgotten
the outcome of the Bulgarian massacre.
Undoubtedly he can count good deal
upon the jealousies among the Powers,
but he must know that there is a limit
to that, and that eventually the senti-
for long ignores, will compel them
to act. His failure, therefore, to stop the
atrocities would seem to. be due to ina
bility, for things have come to such a
pass that his own personal interests
wolld impel him to stop them if the
could. That he was powerless to cope
with. the situation is certainly the view
Of Lord Salisbury, for he said so in al
most SO many words, when he read the
Sultan's letter to him, promising to carry
out the reforms demanded by the Powers.
II anarchy reigns in Armenia
which the Sultan's authority oan
not suppress the only possible way
to suppress it is to throw troops into the
territory. And here is probably the rub.
All the Powers can join in naval dem
onstration in the Bosphorus on equal
terms. But all of them cannot join on
such terms in march into Armenia.
Only one of them has force so situated
that it can be expeditiously thrown into
the disturbed district and that is Russia.
and England is jealous of Russia. With
a mandate from the Powers Russia would
put stop to the disorders in Armenia
in week. But the mandate is not forth
coming, and why It's not is to be found
in the fact that Russia has for long
time coveted the Asiatic uominions of the
Turk, and the fear that she would take
advantage of the mandate to permanent
ly occupy the country.

THE TURKISH SITUATION

10 the ordinary comprehension the per.
folmances of the Powers at CONSTANT
nople seem very obscure. For
months now each of them has had a naval
vessel in the Bosphorus and recently
each has asked of the Sultan permission
to add another vessel. The world has been
Informed daily for weeks that the Powers
were about to make demonstration
presumably for the purpose of terrifying
the Sultan into using his power to ston
the atrocities in Armenia. But no dem
onstration has been made though the
massacres in Armenia have become more
frequent and more atrooious. Tn. to the
time that Lord Salisbury spoke it was
assumed that failure to act on the mart
of the Powers was due to difference of
opinion among them, but Lord Salisbury
assured the world that they were in com
plete and perfect harmony, SO that very
natural explanation of their diIly-dallv-
ing must be dismissed. The only one
left that is at all plausible is that the
Powers no longer believe that tho demon
stration will do any good. OF course the
object Of the demonstration was to CO.
Gree the Sultan into stopping the Arme-
MAN atrocities. This form of procedure
assumed that he had the power to stop

IhOmaS Hardy'S latest story, started IN
Harper's Magazine under the title The
Simpletons "a name doubtless abandoned
because of it's close resemblance to
Charles Reade's A Simpleton), continued
under the Insignificant title Hearts Insur-
gent, and published lin book form as
Jude the Obscure, is without question the
most notable work in fiction done this
year-and to our mind the most disagree
able. 1t is one of those books that will
everywhere be discussed and criticized
mostly by those who have not read it.
Learning that chapters were suppressed
as it made it's lingering way through the
magazine, many people will leap to the
conclusion that it is immoral and some
will therefore buy it.

it had some cheerful scenes. This book
has none.

Crowd, The Return of the Native, A Pair
of Blue Eyes, and the other works which
have made Mr.. Hardy's name house
hold word. tits not immoral, but it is
inexpressibly dreary. It will be read and
widely commented upon because he wrote
it-not for the reason that anybody likes
the book.
Here, however, a reservation must be
made. The book is written with exquis-
lite art, and may be studied with great
advantage by those who love simple,
massive, straightforward English. But
no one will read it for mere delight in
the story. Disconnected folks may take
to it as people with aching teeth thrust
the tongue to the throbbing cheek-not
because it gives pleasure but because it
gives another kind of pain.
The volume is published in New York
by the Harpers, and is for sale in this
city by Loring. Short and Harmon. The
chances are that many people will buy it,
and most purchasers throw the book
aside before it's perusal is completed. 1t
will give "that tired feeling" for which
advertising doctors are so prompt to sug-
gest their remedy.
The observations made by Gilbert
White of the natural history of Selborne
have made that place famous, and the
new edition of his notes which has re-
Gently been issued by the Appletons con-
tains eighty fine half tone reproductions
of photographs and drawings which Cliff
ton johnson secured on visit there.
To have the actual scenes amid which
Whites life WAS passed thus produced in
connection with his book, gives it new
interest. The edition is issued is two
volumes and has an introduction by John
Burroughs, who tells of visit he made
to Selborne. 1t is remarkable that the
simple notes of a country clergyman in
an obscure parish in England, and made
SO many years ago, should be found
worthy of being embellished and re.
printed like this. But the fact that he
always made sure as possible of his infor-
nation before putting it on paper has
given his records a permanent value.
