RELIEF WORK IN ARMENIA.
THE SUBJECT OF AN INTEREST
ING TALK BY EDWARD WlSIAR'
OF GERMANTOWN.

OF GERMANTOWN.
Edward NJ. Wistar of Germantown
Pa. gave an interesting talk on Re
lief Work in Armenia to small but
attentive audience at the Friends
Westinghouse. at Ninth and Iatnall
streets, last evening.
Mr.. Wistar was a member of the re-
lief committee which left this country
about a year ago under the manage
ment of the Red Cross Society, and he
remained about FIVE months in that
riot-racked land. With the aid OF
map he explained the route taken by
the different relief parties. He spoke
at length on the distribution of sup
plies. consisting of clothing. agricul-
fural implements, etc. in and around
Harpoot. where the missionary college
is situated IL was i'm this building
that the American missionaries and
many Armenians sought refuge during
the raid in which so many Armenians
were slaughtered IL was the opinion
of the speaker that these raids were
made by the local government at a
given signal from the central govern
ment at Constantinople.
He compared the position of the
Turkish beys. whom he found hospit-
able, to the teudal lords OF ancient Eu-
rope. The mode of travelling was very
slow, the rivers being crossed by RATS
of wood and goat skin. and large
wooden raft which resembles a shovel.
When a person wishes to move from
place to place in Turkey he must notify
the government, which provides him
with a guard. He found the Turks and
Armenians of the same degree regard
ing honesty and morality, while the
Armenian Protestants were of a much
higher degree Of intelligence. The
plan of distribution was generally car
ried on through native committees.
Mr.. Wistar exhibited some pictures
OF Armenian life and a specimen of
bread in use in some parts OF the
country. In closing the speaker paid
a glowing tribute to those noble self
sacrificing missionaries now in that
distressed land. whose heroic work has
done much to alleviate the sufferings
of the prosecuted Armenians

THE TURKISH kAik.
It More Closely Resembles the GOndola
 Than Any Other Craft.


 Crawford, the author, to whose skill full pen Constantinople is indebted for one of the most charming volumes ever issued in its praise, has a word to say about the Turkish boatmen and their vehicle, the kaik.
 "Constantinople owes much,' writes he, ito the matchless beauty of the three waters which run together be. meath it's walls, and much of their repu- tation again has become worldwide by the kaik. It is disputed and dis. putable whether the Turks copied the Venetian gondola or whether the Vene. tians initiated the Turkish kaik. but the resemblance between them is SC strong as to make it certain that they have a common origin. Take from the dongola the 'felse', or hood, and the rostrated stem, and the remainder is practically the kailS. It is of all craft of ltS size the swiftest, the most easy to handle and the most comfortable, and the Turks generally are admitted to be the best oarsmen in Europe.
 Indeed, they have need to be, for both the Bosphorous and the Golden Horn are crowded with craft of every kind, and made dangerous by the swiftest of currents The distances too, ane very great, and such as no or dinary oarsman would undertake for pleasure or for the sake of exercise It is no joke to pull 15 or 16 miles against stream which in some places runs four or five knots an hour.'

What He Does for the Farmer Despite

What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.
 If farmers would make q study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,3Oo of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,256 contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, 4S per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 ''The animal food,'' says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfsh, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads, salamanders inewts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carricn of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con. stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent being the larger things, like mice. The animal food IS taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy lot of grain. Some 5o,o0O would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

"FoRM" IN BICYCLING.
How Society People Go a Wheeling-At
 tending Grooms and Maids.


 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only ques- tion of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure 8 situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride a la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, wi1h, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

BOUGHT ANOTHER'S MUSTACHE,

 Goods.

Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per sons were sitting at table in local hotel, when the splendid mustache of a horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal er and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. ''Ten francs," replied the latter, laughingly. T will buy half of them,' said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 500 francs damages for non-execu- fion of his contract.

ABOUT BITTER MILK. 8 .ssl
Usually Caused by Iu- Health and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.


 Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written com plaining that the milk of their cows is bitter after standing few hours or a single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome. Some of the cows have been in but few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give pound of sulphate of soda (glauber salts) or of sulphate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and after this has operated, a daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over a mess of scalded bran or in other feed.-Western Rural. .s

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.


 But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed. has told story of apes making thiev- ing raid on a camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by its middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt to scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting..
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.
