so many bricks. No relative could ever

The streets Of Erzeroum ran with
blood. The Armenians we're massacred
without distinction of age or sex by
the Turks and Kurds, and nameless
atrocities were perpetrated on them.
Erzeroum is the capital Of vilayet
or province of the same name. It has
an extensive trade and is the chief sta
ton for caravans ON the way from Te-
heran to Mecca. The streets are mar
row and its houses are mostly built
Of mud and timber. The principal
buildings are the Armenian and Greek
churches and schools.
The population was about 10000, Of
which one-fourth were Armenians. The
proportion has been greatly reduced.
q The massacre began in the Seria, the
chief government building in Erzer-
cum, in which the Vail, or Governor,
and the chief officials live. 1t began
with the shooting of the priest of
Teonik by the Turkish soldiers. He
and other Armenians were trying to OBJ
tain an audience Of the Vail to ask
protection against murder and outrage.
This act Of brutality served as sig
nal to the Turks and Khurds. The
massacre continued all day.
The photograph shows the Armenian
cemetery two days after the beginning
of the massacre. Two rows Of dead
had already been laid down and par
TALLY covered with earth by laborers,
and they had just started third
row.
The burial of most of the victims took
place on Nov. 2. There was no funeral
ceremony. Huge trenches were dug
and four Armenians took body,
dragged it to the trench and laid 1t
there. Body after body was laid close
alongside another till the whole space
was filled. In one pit $50 bodies were
buried.
The surviving Armenians gathered
around these enormous graves and
watched the operations sadly, no one
knowing when his or her turn might
'ome.

PENGUIN BABIES QUEER.


From Young Idea: You will notice
that the penguin baby is very fat and
looks as though he might be extremely
good for eating, but IL you could see
father and mother penguin just now
you would find them uncommonly thin.
The care Of the baby has so worn upon
their minds and the trouble of finding
enough fish for three to eat, that all
superfluous flesh for the time has van
ished. Baby penguin has a curious
nest. The mother tucks the egg away
softly and safely among her warm
feathers and even moves slowly and
with great gravity over the cliffs, carry
ing the egg, while father penguin goes
fishing. Mother penguin looks as fat
during this time as the baby does now,
but when the egg Is Matched she goes
fishing, too, and soon grows as thin as
father penguin himself. You notice the
funny little wings just beginning to
start on baby's shoulders. Well, mother
and father penguin have longer ones.
but they are still more like fins than
wings. Nearly all the time Is spent in
the water and fms are more useful to
them than wings; when on land these
little half wings are used as legs, and
the birds are often mistaken for quad
rupeds as they run over the ground.
They do not seem to be troubled with
insomnia. When asleep they can be
kicked several feet and never even
wake UP. There is variety called the
jackass penguin, from it's habit Of
throwing back its head and making a
loud, strange noise that sounds like
the braying of that animal. The king
penguins have regular towns, where
every inch Of ground is measured off
in squares for nests. The young birds
are arranged in a certain locality, the
melting birds in another, and the clean
birds quite apart from all these. So
strictly are they all divided that If a
moulting bird should accidentally stray
near the clean birds it would be In
stantly put out. In the Falkland is-
lands and in Patagonia these birds
abound They are also very numerous
In certain islands Of the southern Pa
cific ocean. On some Of them 10000 or
10000 are constantly landing or going
to sea.

"TRILBY" WAKES UP JOHN BULL
He Has just Discovered That Jonathan'a
Literary Judgment Was Correct.

He Has Just Discovered That Jonathan'a
Literary Judgment Was Correct.
Our British cousins did not take very
strongly to "Trilby" when that novel
was first put upon the market, says the
New York World. The English critics,
who are a very clever and high sal
aried lot of gentlemen, instantly an
nounced with a suddenness Of percep-
ception and immobility Of conviction
peculiar to the British isle that there
was really nothing in the book, and the
British public, which has been waiting
with strained ears to catch the mani
festo Of the critics, at once came to the
same conclusion. Shortly afterward
the work became extremely popular in
America, and when they heard this the
British critics and the British public
threw their hats up in the air and ex-
claimed aloud in a frenzy of joy and
self-congratulation:
did not we say long ago that there
was nothing in 'Trilby?" And as it
not now proved that we were right? The
great American public has approved Of
'Trilby.' The great American public
never approves OF anything that is
worthy. of approval; therefore, oh, it is
so plain, 'Trilby' is trashy"
But now two years have passed and
the sad news is flashed over the cable
that the discerning British public and
critics have succumbed. They now
acknowledge "Trilby" as their queen.
They have the "Trilby" craze. They
wear Trilby shoes. They give Trilby
teas. The women buy Trilby garters.
The concert halls are all giving Trilby
burlesques. In fact, "the Trilby infec-
ton" $50 reads the cable dispach) has
worked in the slower English blood a
fever no less violent than that from
which America recovered months ago.
The craze has invaded everything and
become almost insufferable to the
Americans in London. More than 10O,-
900 copies of the book have now been
published here, and the demand is I'M
satisfied"
If the British public keep up this
hustling there is every possibility that
they will adopt the sleeping car in
time.

untruth and to convince the most skep-
tical Of the atrocities of Turkish rule
1t is now supplied.
A series Of photographs has been re-
celved from Armenia which confirms
the worst stories of massacre and prove
that they were indeed on wholesale
scale. Which is more worthy of
belief-the camera or the Sultan Of
Turkey? The intelligent readers of
this journal will scarcely hesitate.
The photographs illustrate what has
been going on throughout the Asiatlc
empire of Turkey. They prove that
part Of the Armenian population Of one
city was destroyed. But other places
suffered even more than Erzeroum.
When we remember that the process of
massacre has been going on through
the whole Of Armenia and in other parts
of Turkey in Asia we may judge of the
total extent Of the slaughter and be-
lleve that the estimate of $4,000 killed
within few months is not an exag-
gerated one.
The important city Of Erzeroum was
the scene Of the wholesale massacres
recorded by these photographs. They
show that bodies were piled together %
thicBly that the Turkish authorities
could not find labor enough to hide
them II they wished to do so.
Arms, legs and fragments Of bodies
were thrown together as carelessly as
