Protest Against suitsn's Cruelty.
London. sept. l9.-Mass meetings TO
express the indignation felt against the
sultan were held Friday night in Bir-
mingham and other cities In England.
Resolutions were adopted which IN gen
ernl terms called upon the government
to take immediate and active steps TO
end the reign of terror in Turkey. In
Bristol and elsewhere amendments to
the resolutions were offered urging
Great Britain 10 act forcibly, alone il
necessary. but these amendments were
defeated.
official circles have issued circular in
which they say they cannot understand
eitver the blind rage of the English
press against the Turkish government
or the sympathy expressed for the AR
menian anarchists. whose plans are
merely repetition of the bomb-throw-
ing ofthe lrishFenians and their menac-
ing of English buildings for the purpose
OF compelling the British government
10 come to terms. The Armenian revolu-
tionists. the statement declares. have
formed an infamous coalition with
nihilists and anarchists and all demol-
ishers OF society.
Since the issuing of the Hynchakish
circular 5000 Armenians have been ar
rested. and the exodus of Armenians
continues. The Turkish officials declare
that they have discovered quantity
OF bombs and dynamite in the Halidjs-
glou quarter.
Owing TO the Turkish governments
communication to the embassies of rhe
powers in regard 10 rumors of another
Armenian outbreak here, the embassies
here have deputed the foreign consuls
10 authorize the police 10 enter foreign
houses when necessary and arrest Ar
menians throwing bombs or shooting
therefrom.
IL is feared Ia high quarters that a
Mussulman movement is afoot against
the sultan, and military measures OF an
extensive scale have been adopted.
The offer Of the Turkish government
TO furnish the embassies with guprds
has been declined. the foreign officials
preierlng 10 rely upon the guards OF
klue jackets from the warships of the
powers.

Candidate Bryan has great deal TO
say nowadays about the quantity OF
money in circulation. Never in the his
tory of the world has the quantity OF
money had less TO do with its value or
purchasing power than at present Dur
ing the war, when both gold and sil-
yer were driven out OF circulation, "shin.
plasters," stamps and other forms OF
paper money took their place. To-day
the use OF credits is almost universally
employed in the settlement Of accounts,
Not less than 90 per cent. of business
transactions are adjusted in this way.
From this single fact may be CLEANED
how little sense there is in the Bryanitc
babble about "cornering gold" IL is
not quantity, but quality. of money
that counts. During the last rs years
the quantity of gold money In the
United States has nearly doubled. and
during this era the country reached the
climax OF prosperity.-N. Y. Commercial

The Rural NeaD Yorker has lately
been making inquiries from promi-
nent poultry men in regard to the
effect Of feeding upon the size OF
eggs; also whether the size will make
any difference in the number which
a hen will lay. The varied answers
show that even the most experience
ed feeders are very much in the
dark upon this subject. 1t may be
inferred, however, from the answers
that the grains have much less effect
in increasing the size of eggs than
have meats, bran and other nitro
genous foods, but grains fed in ex-
cess will make the hen too fat, and
her eggs will either be small or be
retained until abnormally large. AS
to the effect on the number of eggs,
opinions are about equally divided
Perhaps the answer to either ques-
ton depends more upon the breed
than upon any particular food. The
ideal food for laying hens as given
by Mr.. I. X. Fetch is as follows;
"The com bination of thirty pounds
of corn, fifteen pounds of oats, ten
pounds of wheat, ten pounds o.
barley and fifteen pounds Of wheat
bran, thoroughly mixed, gives the
largest number of eggs possible
This is used as the morning soft
food, with 25 per cent of meat food
the afternoon feed being mixed
grains"
