CLARA BARToN's WORK.
First Armenian Relief Caravan Started
 From AIexandretta.


 From AIexandretta-
 The American National Red Cross so- ciety has received a report from Miss Clara Barton under date of Constanti nople Feb. 25, written while she was awaiting the sultan s signature to per init for her party to proceed to the in- terior. The permit has since been signed. Meanwhile, writes Miss Barton, "we are not losing a moments time. Dreadful news comes ill from the battle field of Zeitun. Sir Philip Currie has asked that send relief to Zeitun, and we are getting our supplies ready for shipment via Alexandretta at the first moment the papers are issued. Our agents are today purchasing supplies to be taken by caravan from Alexandretta. There are always delays of boats, only about one week going over, and this occupies a week in the voyage across. Our drapo1nen are ready. The Turkish guard will be provided, and Dr. Hub bell will lead the first detachment up into the SHOWS and mountains to hunger, nakedness, smallpox and typhus. We find supplies as cheap here as at home, some even cheaper.
 A recent letter from the Rev Dr. Jud- son Smith, secretary of the American board of commissioners for foreign mis- sions, Boston, addressed to the represent atives of the Red Cross he2e, says:
 "Of the perfect understanding be- tween Miss Barton and the Red Cross on the one hand and our missionaries both at Constantinople and everywhere in the interior on the other hand have not the faiAtest doubt. Our missionaries will give the warmest possible welcome to the Red Cross agents. "-New York World

AGAINST "COFFIN NAILS"
Youth of Anderson, Ind, to Be Fined For
 Smoking Cigarettes.

The city council of Anderson, Ind. 2, as the result of vigorous campaign by Christian bodies, has passed an ordi- nance making it a misdemeanor for any person under the age of 16 to smoke a cigarette, punishable by arrest and a fine not in excess of $25. Patrolmen got instructions to make arrests.
 This is the most pronounced move ever made ill Indiana against the habit The officers will hold courts of inquiry in cases of arrest to determine who made the sale, as it is against the law. This will be followed by a curfew ordi- nance.

Dangerous Stones in Meadows.

Meadows should always be rolled car ly in the spring while the ground is soft. But if not done then, it should not be neglected little later. The roll ing will not only compact the soil about the grass roots, but it will press down into the soil the small stones which have been loosened and raised by frost. It is not the large stones that are most dreaded by the driver of a moving machine. The largest stone can be seen and avoided. It is the small, thin stones, just large enough to go between the moving knife and guards, which not only dull the knives worst, but cause the greatest proportion of break ages

The horses needed rest aud feed. but

thought best to drive on to Tun-

were up the valley along by hand
some mountain stream. The ascent
was quite gradual and the vale very
pretty one that finally opened up on a
hill, from which in the distance was "A

into the village of Tunbridge, noted

we began to meet the returning teams
before reaching the place whilst many
passed us after we had driven through, for
our horses were both tired and hungry.
The village itself, was well filled with
people and teams. There was to be a
dance in the evening and all rooms at

therefore compelled to drive on to South
Royalton, five miles further In any
case we might have done this, as Tun-
bridge is not an attractive place to
stop at while South Royalton is very
much so.
The Tunbridge valley is also very at
tractlve, perhaps as much so as any we
passed. The South Royalton hotel Is an

Aged Il yrs, , mos, , days.
The peculiarities of this spot, dupl-
eating in a most remarkable manner that
of Alloway Kirk, made me most curious
to see again the poem of Tam O'Shanter,
the only part of which | was able to fairly
recall being the few lines beginning
with:
"But plea sures are like peoples spread.
You seize the flower, its bloom is,shed
or like the snow falls IN the river,

Or like the borealis race,
That fit ere you can point their place;
or like the rainbow's lovely form

Near the height of land above STRAIT

of the New Hampshire mountains. in
Guiding some of the more distant White

near this point that a particularly high
hill arose above the road, ON which We're

there had been a Fourth of July picnic.
This pinnacle was grassed TO the top,
being used as a pasture. The Younger
folks of our party assembled it and de-
clared a most wonderful view from the
top that included the range of the Green
Mountains to the west, as well as other
hills and mountains at the south, in both
Vermont and New Hampshire.
Another long descent brought us to
the valley in which STAFFORD is situated,

nixed Government.

The lawlessness in the Indian
Territory is chiefly due to the fact
that over each part of it two govern
ments have in a way concurrent
though not coincident jurisdiction,
and each attempts to fulfil its duties
without trespassing upon the rights
of the other. The difficulties of the
situation may be appreciated when
by way of example it is said that on
the one hand the Indian courts have
authority only over the persons and
property of their own citizens, aud
have no jurisdiction where either of
the parties is a nonresident or is
presumed to be such /; on the other
hand, interference on the part of the
United States in their affairs is
quickly resented by the Indian gov
eminent. They are jealous of the
right of autonomy, which they re-
gard as a privilege given them by
the treaties, and contend strongly
against its Infringement. The y. 5.
Ca mot interfere in tribal matters,
and, again, the Indian authorities
cannot evict OF expel intruders. This
being true, the Territory offers
refuge for criminals, a~ffording a safe
and secure hiding-place for those
seeking to escape from the law. The
light horse, or Indian police, are
hardly o than a travesty, and the
powers of the deputy Z. S. marshals
are necessarily limited. In fact, the
Indian governments are hopelessly
imperative, and their efforts in the
cause of law and order are f%orlorn
indeed.-Allan Hendricks, in No
vember Lippincott's.

The Latest In Furs.

Fashion in furs shows q mixture of
two kinds in IL garment, which is very
encouraging to those ;wno must remodel
thei- oid capes and jackets. and very
pretty effects are made with many sable
tails and paws in the way of trimming.
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, sealskin
and mouflon, which is light gray in
color, are the most fashionable furs, but
all the cheaper varieties seem to have
their uses. Chinchilla is combined with
seal this season, and short capes OF sable
are used over longer ones of seal. The
fur boleros will be a useful fashion for
those who have a small amount Of fur
to be transformed into a fashionable
garment. These are very becoming TO
slight figures, and very stylish with
wide revers. The new fur coats are
rather short, not so full in the basque
as they We're last season and have loose
fronts.
