nearly discharged her duty to society
when the rearing is well accomplished.
There are no official frills about
Lady Pauncefote; she is too high-bred
for such snobbshnesS as that She be-
lieves that a lady is a lady always, no
matter what her position, and that un-
less she is really liked by the people
nothing that she might do in an official
capacity would assist her husband or
make her own position any securer.
Lady Pauncefote is somewhat imbued
with the English idea that birth and
breeding have much to do with making
the lady and defining social position,
and that unless there are disagreeable
traits of character developed in a wo-
man she may rest secure in whatever
position she may be born. Her idea of
helping her husband support his of
fetal position, which is one of the high
est in the gift of the Queen of England,
Is to make his home charming for his
friends and to receive his guests with
courtesy and kindness.

Ten young ladies belonging to the

Beaver County, about twenty miles
from Pittsburg, have organized boy

place. The girls have organized what
they call the "Trllby Club" have VOW

The cause of this strange action on
the part Of the ten girls is a grievance
they have nursed. 1t seems that the
boys of the town expected the girls
to make some use of their lean wear

In the beginning of the thirteenth GEN.
tury the annual revenue of the Byzantine
empire amounted to el30, 900, coo. Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
ravages of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its fourishing
cities, had been wrested from her by the
arms of Islam. Today the revenue of the
Ottoman empire is less than Els, 900, =
600. The silence of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled, well cultivated, abound
ing i'll tlourishing cities and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals of
ancient ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more-have been reduced under

intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko.
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 20
years i'll the civil administration of the
porte and wrote in defense of Turkey 40
years ago, the annual produce of corn in
Asia Minor was then estimated at 25,-
600, 900 Turkish kiles, which, he thinks,
might easily be increased tenfold "if the
great productiveness of the soil were
turned to account" "The same re-.
mark, " he adds, "applies to all other
productions which serve for local con-
sumption or for expectation. But in
stead of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de-
crease. The decay Of every kind of man.
ufacture has kept pace with the decline
of agriculture. Diarbekir and Broussa,
once so famous for their velvets, satins
and silk stutfs, have been ruined. So
have Aleppo and Bagdad. Turkey

Circles Around the Eyes.


The orbit of the eye is filled with
cellular tissue and fat, with many
blood vessels. The skin under the
eyes is extremely thin, and if for any
reason the blood vessels are relaxed,
the venous congestion is made mani
fest by the dark circles under the eyes.
The remedy would be, of course, to find
the cause and remove it. An effort
should also be made to improve the
local circulation, which can be done by
massage treatment. Relief may also

sewing that must be finished IN n given
time, may be relieved in this way.
