THE CLEANLY, CHASTH AND PIOUS
TURK.

Much Indignation has been aroused
by Mr.. f. Hopkinson Smith, who
has just returned from CONSTANT
nipple, and in an interview published
in the Boston Herald, gives voice to
his admiration tor the Turk and his
contempt for the average Christian
missionary sent to convert him.
Mr.. Smith has Travelled extensively,
and he has some reputation as an
artist and as an author, but his SEN
timcnts on this subject will not re-
dound to his credit. The nations Of
the earth have lifted up their hands
in horror at the deeds of the Turk.
The friends Of American missionaries
are not the only ones to make an
cutlery to heaven against the bar.
barities practiced during the last few
years. The case may be as Mr..
Smith SAYS, that he never met a
more civilized, humane, intelligent,
clearly, pious and chaste man than
the typical Turk" but all the world
knows that the Moslem always be
lieved in the sword as means OF
spreading his religion and crushing
out others, and that the Gospel OF
Peace uses other methods.
AS for the dogs of Constantinople
the Turks kindness of disposition
might well select other channels in
which to flow forth. We have heard
ofthese miserable dogs ever since we
can remember, and have never been
able to find sufficient reason for
allowing them to exist. A lethal
chamber would be more humane to
all concerned. But that has not very
much to do with the present crisis
Christians are being treated as dogs
may not be in that land of tender
feelings, and venif the Turk imagines
it his duty to Allah, it belongs to the
Christian nations to show him his
error. 1t may, very likely will, cost
many precious lives to do this, but
now, as heretofore, there will be
glory in the death that comes in a
struggle to right the wrong, and if
the worst comes to the worst there
will be no lack of gallant men to
fight for God and the right.

LITERARY WARDS.

The New York Herald has an
nounced the names of the winners in
the literary competition which it has
been conducting. The first prize of
$4,000 for the best serial novel goes
to Julian Hawthorne; the second
prize of $4,000 to Rev. w. c. Blake
man of Islip, N. Y, and the third
prize of $1,000 to Edith Carpenter of
Millville, N. J. The prize of $4,000
for the best novelette, goes to Molly
Elliot Seawell of Washington, and
the $4,000 prize for the best short
story to Edgar Fawcett. The $1,000
prize for the best epic poem is awarded
to a writer who wells himself or her
self under the nom de plume of San
CANON, without revealing his or her
identity. Excepting Mr.. Hawthorne,
Mr.. Fawcett and Miss Seawell, the
winners in these competitions are
comparatively unknown writers,
though, with the exception of Rev.
Mr. Brakeman, they have all con-
trlbuted more or less to contemporary
literature. The extent of competition
for these prizes is indicated bv the
fact that before reaching their con-
illusions the judges were compelled to
peruse nearly a thousand poems,
more than a thousand novelties and
5000 short stories.
Julian Hawthorne comes of good
literary stock, and it is not out Of
keeping that he should be first in the
competition. His novel is entitled
Between Two Fires"
Miss Molly Elliot Seawell, Of
Washington, is best known as the
author of Maid Marian" and other
stores, and OF that charming hero
story, Little Jarvis" which won
the Youths Companion prize a few
years ago. Her present triumph ha,
been won with novelette, entitled
"The Sprightly Tale of Marsac,
which is rewritten from a play sh'
wrote year ago, but had neve
published.
The judges were Mayo w. Hazel
tine, Mrs. Amelia E. Barr and Georg
, Parsons Lathrop.

PRESS GLEANINGS.

Vermont is not very large on the
map, but it can boast of a somewhat
diversified climate. While the dust
was flying in Burlington's streets
yesterday in a way that strongly
suggested the need Of a hot water
street sprinkler, the residents of St.
Johnsbury were having their feelings
narrowed by reading the threats OF
the village authorities to arrest
small boys for coasting in the streets.
= Burlington Free Press.
The year 1896 promises to be a
lively one in Vermont. First to be
settled will be the neutrality-suspicious.
Herald libel suit. Next will be the
republican state and county conyen-
tons. Candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor are numerous at
present and the prospect for close
race is good. The people should take
hand in this game and see to it
that politicians and wire pulers do
not control these nominations. The
same remarks apply to the county
conventions. The politicians have
long controlled the nominations and
as a result the selections have not
always been the best. As rule the
man with the strongest pull and the
most money, providing he uses a
liberal amount of the latter, gets the
nomination regardless of qualifica-
lions. Let the office seek the man
and the state and county will be bene-
fitted. Bristol Herald.

word for L. D. Hazen for governor.

Bright's
Disease

means a change in the Kidneys from
healthy tissue to fat. The symptoms
are so obscure that they may not be
noticed until too late. The presence
of albumen in the urine, Backache and
retention of urine are symptoms of
disease. Ifalbumen is present, it will
show if small quantity Of urine be
heated to the boiling point in silver
spoon, when white curdy flakes will
appear; ora few drops of vinegar
and a second heating may discover the
albumen. Merely a white cloud may
show under the test-that indicates
the early stage when the disease may
be cured. Buker's Kidney Pills if
taken at this time will reduces inham-
nation and help the Kidneys to their
normal state. If the urine shows a
change, don't neglect the symptom.
The pills cost so cents at the drug
gists,

 As he spoke the elderly man had ris- en, and now stood over him with a dangerous gleam in his eye.
 "No, sirp he exclaimed, emphatically, q will not! Such a proposition is ab- surd. I wouldn't consider it for moment"
 His young and courtly companion arose, and taking up his hat, prepared to leave the room.
 "Very well, sir" he replied loftily, as he slipped a circular out of his pocket and handed it to the fair-haired type writer near the door, T was going to say, in case you had favorably consid7 cred my proposal, that would gladly take a 25 per cent. discount off my bill of $2OO for teaching your daughter how to ride the bicycle"
