ARMENIAN WOMEN,

Mrs. Gertrude Eastman Perkins, one
tho brightest of tho younger literary
women of tho city, who made long
trip short while ago through Eu-
rope, is convalescing from the serious
ILLNESS which has kept her from the
pen for several month"; During her
stay abroad she made O careful study
of the conditions of Armenia, and
more especially of the womon of that
crushed and unfortunate land. Her
literary connections gave her the 40
cess in London and elsewhere to libra
ries and archives bearing upon the
topic, and by good fortune as we'll ns
careful endeaVor she managed to make
the acquaintance and win the friend
ship of Armenian colonies in London
and elsewhere. She took abundant
notes and secured large amount of
very valuable literary material. Upon
her recovery, she will probably write
a series Of very exhaustive articles
upon the topic with view to their
subsequent publication in book form.
Tho expressions practiced by the
Turks and Kurds in Armenia have
driven thousands, and even tens of
Thousands, of poople to other lands.
The expatriation has resulted in the
establishment of Armenian colonies in
nearly every large European city, and
very numerous colony in London it.

the better classes of the race, and in
their flight took with them family
records, church documents, ancient
archives and much OF their National
literature. 1t is possible to-day TO

material respecting Armenia at first

WhNt Might Have Been.

Stepbenson's claim to be the inven-
tor of the modern locomotive is based
upon the fact that he was the first to
combine the several features of hori-
zontnl cylinders, the vertical blast
nozzlo in the smokestack and tubular
boiler, and that by this combination
reproduced the type which is practi-
cally the same that we use to-day.
Stephenson was not the author of the
iron rail, nor of the idea of steam
driven vehicle running upon iron rails
and carrying its own water and fuel.
These loading features were present In
the earlier engine of Trevithick. Had
Trevithick labored to remedy the de-
fects of his locomotive with the per-
severance which was so stong char
acteristic In his successor, it is likely
that he, and not Stephenson, would
have been named the father of the
modern locomotive.

Gain in Church Membership.

H. K. Carroll, in tho Forum, com
pares the religious censuses of 1896
and 1895. According to the forme,
there were 20,618,307 communicate
in the United States, and up to lasi
year the totals had been increased tc
4,646, 59l, gain of 4,028,2 277 in five
years. During the same period there
was a gain of 23.075 churches and 81.
GAG ministers. The gain in new mem.
bers is not fully represented in the
above figures, because the 10000
losses by death had first to be made
up before a net increase could be
shown. The value of church buildings,
lots and furniture in 1890 was about
$3.50, 900, 900, and now is thought tc
be fully $500, 100000

Cottages" or managerial residences,
are far apart, usually from ten to fifty
miles, These cottages are almost al.
ways large, low buildings, of but one
story, with several good-sized rooms,
with broad verandas on two or three
sides, and they are rooted with cor
rugated or galvanized iron. Save
during the excessive heat of midsum-
mer, December, January and Febru.

fer to the intelligent and worthy trav-
eler or to their invited or socepted
guest. They do not live like farmers,
even Of the most wealthy class, but
like petty princes. The family is sur
rounded with troops. of servants, gov
ernesses, companions and visitors.
The "sooial set" Is as sorupulously or
ganized among many OF these "world
holders" as among the most fastidious
snobs of Europe and America, the
"shopkeeper" which means all retail
dealers-tradesmen and the common
herd being given the cold shoulder,
or the tips OF the fingers. As enter.
tainers. these squatters are lavish in
expense and scrupulons in forms and
and ceremonies.
What would the wealthy farmer
think to drive up to o cheap looking
habitation, "tweuty miles from no.

At these luxurious homes there is
the "best of everything" not only of
solids, but OF fluids as we'll. But of
late years many of these erst-while
princely squatters have become "man-
agers," as the banks have closed the
old order of things, and if I should
venture to suggest that in no small
number OF failures this "style," vast o

ut is unnecessary to explain at
length why the South will continue
during the next ten years to grow
steadily" declares the Financier, of
New York. "1ts destiny as a manu-
featuring section is as certain as any
thing human can we'll be. 1t has every
advantage that other sections lay claim
TO, and the development of the South
Brn railroads will make it as accessible
to market as New England Is to-day.
With mountains literally composed of
rich iron ore, with coal cropping out
on every hillside in the mineral belt,
with limestone and timber In abund-
ance, the South can manufacture iron
at price which no other producing
region can meet. Pig iron Is being
made in Birmingham, Ala, to-day at
a cost not exceeding $5 ton, and the
fact that the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company few days since had orders
booked for nearly 270,0 tons OF
iron, an increase of 122, 900 tons since
March IA, is an indication of the
trend OF the market toward the South.
Eighty per cent. Of the iron made in
The birmingham region is now being
shipped to other points for CONVEX
Iion into steel and the higher grades
Of the manufactured product. This
will not continue indefinitely. The
loss on freight, which now has to be
counted in estimating cost of produo-
tion, offers sufficient profit to induce
change of location, and the centre Of
steel production ultimately must be
within the radius OF the cheapest
market for the primary material out
Of which steel is made. The Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company recog.
uizes this fact. as witness Its deter
mination to build million dollar
plant at Birmingham. With cheap
steel factor it is equally certain that
industries dependent on this material
as applied TO higher uses will follow,
and the next decade ought TO bring
about the erection Of new factories, or
the removal Of older ones to the South.
The climate, the labor, and the fuel
invite the change, aside from other
considerations. And it is not alone in
iron and steel that this change will be
telt. The South is being dotted with
new cotton mills, forced by tho same
primary reason to desert the East, and
the exodus of industries, IL such 1t
may be called, is bound to continue,
5hrewd observers say that cotton man.

enough, and that the mills might witt
equal advantage locate nearer the fue,
supply, since the railroads at thost
points run through rich cotton eoun

kets. Bearing all these facts in mine
