Risings In Macedonia.

In most cases "risings in Macedonia"
are the work Of sympathizing or rest
less outsiders, who organize bands OF
Christian "brethren. F." These crusaders
cross the frontiers, are stunned like the
pest by the bulk of the wretched people
and are ultimately cut down by the
Turks, Pomaks or Arnauts, or else
driven back whence they came No
doubt it does occur once in awhile that
some dastardly crime which only a
Turkish Mohammedan can conceive and
execute causes the blood of the most
phlegmatic to boil over and drives the
victim to Stay his torturer then and
there and execute an Indian war dance
around his corpse. Such man has for
feited his life, and the utmost he can
hope for is to sell it dearly. He fees,
therefore, to the mountains or the
woods and gradually gathers other out
laws around him who are as desperate
as himself. This gang lives thereafter
for the sole purpose Of executing the
wild justice known as revenge, the mad
dening thirst for which occasionally
drives them to the commission Of crimes
akin to cannibalism. But these are the
exceptions.
Take them all in all, the Christian
population of Macedonia is submissive,
industrious, frugal and patient to a
fault. The Turks themselves frequently
admit and admire their excellent quail
ties and never neglect to profit by them.
A high Ottoman official lately assured
me that the Bulgarians in Macedonia
were very loyal, thrifty, submissive
subjects, of whom the porte has reason
to be proud, land" he naively added,
sit is calumny to affirm that we have
the slightest reason to be dissatisfied
with them. If left alone by Bulgaria
and Servian agitators, we and they
could live in peace and harmony for
ever. "-Contemporary Review.

TUBES MADE FROM SOLID METAL.
Consul Mason's Official Report ON the Ina
portant Erhardt Process.

portant Erhardt Process.
Advance sheets of a recent consular
report by Consul General Mason at
frankfort give an interesting descrip-
tion of the Erhardt process of manufac-
turing tubular bodies out of solid metal
without casting, boring or welding.
A cube of steel is heated cherry red
and dropped into massive matrix of
the outward form required. A mandrel
is then thrust forward by immense by
draulic pressure. 1t enters the steel cube
and presses the metal outward to fit the
depressions in the matrix. Owing to the
force exerted, the metal yields like but
ter and gives an exact impression of the
hollows in the matrix.
The advantages Of this treatment are
the uniform strength and consistency
given to every part Of the article pro-
duced, with the utmost lightness COM
patible with sufficient strength to en-
dure necessary strains.
Already the German government has
adopted this method Of making the out
er casing of shrapnel shells, to the ex-
clusion of all methods formerly in use.
The process has also been applied to
the manufacture of gun barrels, hollow
TASKS for containing liquefied carbonic
and other acids and parts of machinery
where lightness and strength are desir-
able.
1t may also be az piled to the manu-
facture of hollow ware, and it's useful
ness is not confined to articles made of
steel. Wrought iron, copper and other
malleable metals are susceptible of the
same treatment, the only condition be-
ing that each metal should be worked at
the temperature which insures its great
est amount of malleability and ductility.
Seamless copper tubes of 90 feet in
length have already been produced with
commercial success by this process.
In the old method of boring the solid
block it often happened that the strong
est and densest part of the metal was
turned into shavings. Under the Erhardt
process this is impossible, as the conf
preston gives the finished block an
equal and uniform density, without
seams or flaws. New York Times.

they should be removed Immediately

INEXPENSIVE COUCH.
Something Dainty and Useful to HOLD
Ones Best Gowns.

SSN''b pts'''S s~,aN 0- ~ NA~eN
Ones Best Gowns.
A dainty woman who has passion
for the elusive odor of heliotrope has
evolved for herself an idea whereby she
can impregnate her belongings at light
expense and very satisfactorily. From
two clean packing boxes she has made
two boxes of a2other shape.
One was six feet long by 15 inches
cr so deep, and about SO inches wide.
Another was made just as long and
just as wide, but not quite so deep;
Both boxes were made quite strongS
and one, the deepest, had short, strong
legs finished with casters. This deep
est box was lined neatly with wrap
ping paper, and over this lining of,
pale blue silesia was tackled. For thei
bottom of this box three large sachetsl
were made which formed soft bottom,
and this was thoroughly scented with
her favorite odor.
The second or shallow box had it's
bottom also covered with large sachet
or padded lining, and the top was up
holstered with springs and filling.
Then the two boxes were Joined to-
gether, one above the other, by three
stout hinges. A piece of tapestry cloth
was plated around the edge of the
lower box, and tackled with gimps fall
ing in rich valence to the floor.
The upper box was covered smoothly
over the upholstering, and the edge
that touched the lower one was also
finished with gimp. Several attractive
pillows completed the outside arrange
ment, and very artistic couch was
the result. A bunch of tassels at either
outside corner served to lift the up
holstered top, revealing receptacle
for gowns and wraps where they could
rest in scented seclusion with immunity
from creases or crashes, as the boz
was fashioned with sufficient length
to admit of their being laid in without
a fold. Any carpenter could make the
boxes, and the upholstering will cost
but a. little, the tapestry being most ex-
pensive, but any other material pre-
ferred could be substituted, thus bring
ing the cost even lower.

pangers OF Piano Playing.

A French scientist of note maintains
that o large number of the nervous
lnaladies from which girls suffer are at
tributed to playing the piano. He
shows by statistics that of 1000 who
study this instrument before the age of
12, no less than 600 suffer from nervous
disorders, while of those who do not be-
gin until after there are only 200 per
1000, and only 100 per 1000 among
those who have never worked at it.
The violin, he says, is equally injuri-
GUS. AS a remedy he suggests that
children should not be permitted to
study either instrument before the age
of 16, at least, and in the case of those
possessing delicate constitutions not
till still later age.

of the sultan, while acknowledge
ing that his government is weak,
wretched, impotent and powerless;"
to attribute the massacres to the
hatred of race and creed factions; to
assert that England has not the power
of military usurpation to prevent them,
that none of the European powers wish
to interfere, and that if England does
not act with the great powers she must
act against them and produce far more
awful and terrible calamities than the
Armenian atrocities"
1t is evident from this humiliating
confession, says the Chicago Tribune,
that the Armenians are to be left to their
Fate, and that the great powers, civil
ized, Christian England among them,
are disposed to give the sultan all the
time he wishes in the prosecution of
his infamous policy. Lord Salisbury
says: ut is our duty to give the'sultan
time. 1t is not for me to pass judg-
ment on that view, but no other remedy
has been suggested"
That is exactly what the sultan wants.
Leave him alone ana give him time
enough, and what with killing, burn
ing, plundering and starving there will
soon be only remnant of the Armenian
race left, and that remnant too small
and weak and too terrorized by the
Moslems to dare ask for the rights
guaranteed with these Indifferent pow
crs. 1t is little wonder that the Lon
don Chronicle Indignantly declares this
utterance will do England grievous
harm and that his confession of failure
with regard to Armenia is most ig-
nominious admission, and that the
London Daily News says: "The little
monster who gloats at Constantinople
over the butcheries will receive Lord
Salisbury's statement as glad tidings.
1t will be read with inexpressible shame
by thousands of decent men and women
in England. We might at least alb
stain from encouraging the sultan in
his hellish work." Even the great
| Thunderer is compelled to-regard Lord
Salisbury's statement as apologetic
and inferentially to regret it. The
world will echo the sentiments of these
newspapers, and will learn with pro-
| found sorrow and indignation from he
lips of the English premier that there
is no hope for the Armenians and that
the work of slaughter must proceed un-
til they are reduced to condition so
weak and helpless as to be unable to
utter complaints or demand rights
promised them in solemn treaties.
