IN NAME OF RELIGION.
Seventy Million Dollars Worth
of Property Destroyed.
Death and Starvation Will
Reign This Winter.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 27-Now that
matters seem to be qrieting down
again here and in the Asiatic pro-
vinces, people are beginning to form
estimates of the amount of damage
done and the number of lives lost dur
ing the recent disturbances. Armen-
ians estimate the losses in Anatolia
alone at $50, 900, 900, and the number
of victims at 10000. OF course, these
are Armenian estimates, but there
seems good reasons for believing that
the property destroyed, the numb of
lives sacrificed and outrages COM
mitted are far beyond anything hither-
to estimated or described.
People competent to pass an opinion
upon the subject say that with the
coming of winter there will be very
famine and that even relief funds,
food and clothing cannot avert much
loss of life and 81 eat suffering. Fam
inc is threatened in a mum Der of dis
tricts and there seems to be no way of
preventing it.
The powers, instead of ordering
their fleets away from Turkish waters,
as the Sultan requested, seem to be
determined to keep them in this vicin-
ity for an indefinite period.
The Ambassadors will hold an in
formal meeting to-day in order to de-
eide what steps to take to put an end
to the so-called ''shufHing" of the
Porte. The impression prevails that
if the frmans are not very soon grant
ed the extra gun boats will pass the
Dardanelles without the Porte's per-
mission, even if they have to be con-
veyed through by battleships stripped
for action.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO CAN TOMATOES.

Tomatoes are among the mosl
healthful vegetables grown, and while
they can be bought ready canned at a
very reasonable price it is much
cheaper and more satisfactory to can
them than to buy, if they keep nicely.
Many housekeepers fail of success
with tomatoes if they are canned in
anything else than tin, while even
then some will spoil. This is expen.
sive and there is always danger of the
acid in the fruit acting on the tin and
forming poisonous substance.
The following rule for canning to.
matoes in glass jars has been used by
one housekeeper for over twenty
years and not half dozen cans have
been spoiled in all that time. The
tomatoes are seasoned with salt and
pepper ready for table, and put boil.
ing hot into the jars, filling them we'll

the tomatoes until the neck of the jar

the tomatoes when prepared for the

TOO NARROW BARNS.

Most of the old-fashioned barns were
built with a view to economy, and
were made as narrow and cramped as
possible. The standard width seemed
to be enough for wagon loaded with
grain in the straw to be driven in and
for the barn door to be closed behind
it. The floor was also narrow, SO that
the team had to be driven out at the
door opposite that they went in at. 1t
is rather curious that farmers tried to
economize SO much in lumber when
the woods were full OF it, and larger
framed buildings might be made with
scarcely any more expense. When far
mers began to build barns with base
ments, and having only one entrance,
the barn was necessarily made wider
and its floors broader, so that loaded
wagon could be driven in and the team
be driven out beside it. A roomy barn
floor is very convenient for storing
many kinds of farm tools, but wagons
should always be stored in the base
ment where the wheels will come in
contact with the soil. Boston Guilt

lmmAnalty of the unIyerse.

To form some idea of the large ness
of the earth, one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
church steeple, and then bear in'mind
that one must view 100000 similar
landscapes to get an approximately
correct idea of the size of the earth,
says London Public Opinion. Place
300 earths like ours side by side, yet
Saturn's outermost ring could easily
enclose them. Three hundred thou
sand earth globes could be stored in
side the sun, if hollow. If human
eye were capable of looking upon n
fresh measure of world material 54OO
square miles large, that eye would
need 55, 900 years to overlook the sur
face of the sun. To reach the nearest
fixed star, one must travel 10000,
900, 900 miles; and, if the velocity
were equal to that of cannon ball, it
would require 100000 years to
travel that distance. Besides single
stars, we know of noS system of stars
moving round one another. Still, we
are but short way into space yet.
Outside of our limits of vision and
imagination there are no doubt still
larger spaces. The Milky Way holds
at least 81, ,191, 600 stars, and as each
is sun, we presume it is encircled by
at least fifty planets. Counting up
these figures, we arrive at the magni-
tude of 1 200, $50, 900 stars. A thou
sand million stars! Who can COM
prehend it? Still, this is only part
of the universe. The modern tele-
scopes have discovered more and more
Milky Ways still further away. We
know of some 5000 nebulae which
represent Milky Ways like ours. Let
us count 1000 of them as being of the
size of our Milky Way; then 1000 by
20, ,191, 900 equals 40, 3S2, 900, 900 suns,
or 2,O19, 100. 900, 900 heavenly bodies.
