most attractive of the far East. I saw
a number of them during my trip
through Asia Minor. They have large,
dark. luminous eyes, with long eye
lashes, and their complexion is that of
rich cream. Many of them have rosy
cheeks and luscious red lips. They are
tall and straight. They are very intel
ligent, and not a few of them are mar
ried to Turks. These women have a
dress of their own. They wear red
fez caps with long tassels, much like
some of the country girls of Greece.
The richer ladies wear loose jackets,
lined with fur, and long, plain skirts
OF silk or fine wool. In the Province
of Van, where some of the outrages
have occurred, the girls wear trousers
under their skirts, which are tied at
the ankles. Some have long. sleeve
less jackets, or cloaks, reaching almost
to the feet and open at the sides up to
the waists, and others wear gorgeous
head dresses, covering the front OF
their caps with gold coins, which hang
down over their foreheads. Girls Of
ten wear their whole dowry on their
persons, and in massacres like those
which have occurred rings are torn
from the ears, arms are cut off for
bracelets and many woman is killed
for her iewelry, The poorer women

The houses in which the Armenians
live are different Indifferent countries.
In many of the cities of Turkey there
is an Armenian squarter, and the older
Armenian houses of Smyrna are built
like forts. They have no windows

THE ARMENIAN PATRIARCH.

considered themselves safe from re-
ligious mobs, such as have lately oc-
Cured. that they have built houses
more like Turks. In Armenia proper,
where the outrages took place, the
poorer classes have homes which
would hardly be considered fit for COWS
in America. The COW, in fact, lives
with the family. The houses are all oae
story, and is not uncommon to build
a house against the side of hill. in
order to save the making of back
wall. The roofs are fiat, and are often
covered with earth, upon which grass
and flowers grow, and upon which the
sheep sometimes are pastured. The
floors are usually sunken below the
level of the roadway, and the ordinary
window is of about The size of o port
hole. You go down steps to enter the
house. and you find COW stable on
one side and on the other the kitchen
and private apartments of the family.
Each room has store fireplace. There
are no tables and very few chairs. Tie
animal heat of the cattle aids the fire
in keeping theTfamily warm, and all of
their living arrangements are of the
simplest and cheapest nature. The
houses of the better class are more
comfortable. and in the big Turkish
cities some of the rich Armenians have
beautiful homes.
The Armenian women are good
housekeepers. They are much more
cleanly than the Turks, and even their
novels are kept clean. They have a
better home life than the Turks. A
man oan have but one wife, but the
families of several generations often
live in one house, in which case the
daughter-in-law is. to q large extent,
the servant of her husbands family.
She has to obey her father-in-law, and
during the first days of her married
life she is not allowed to speak to her
husbands parents, or any of the fam
lily who are older than herself, until
her father -in-law gives her permission.
Up to this time she wears q red veil,
as badge of her subsection, and this
veil i, often kept In until her first
baby is born. Armenian girls are
married very young. Eleven or twelve
Is considered quite CID enough, and
women are still young when they have
sons sged twenty. Marriages are ar
ranged by the parents or by go-be-
tweers. The usual wedding day is
Monday, and on the Friday before the
marriage tie bride is taken to the bath
with great ceremony. On Saturday
she gives big feast to her girl friends.
OnSunday there is a feast for the boyR,
and on Monday the wedding takes
place. 1t usually occurs at the church,
where the priest blesses the ring and
makes prayers over the wedding gar
ments. There are numerous other
ceremonies, making the welding last
from three to eight days. One Curl
Gus custom is that shortly after her
return from the church the children
present rush to pull off the brides
stockings, in which have been hidden
some coins of money for the occasion.
The real causs OF these outrages is,
to large extent, religious fanaticism.
The better classes OF the Turks and
the more intelligent OF the Mahom'
medans would probably stop them il
they could. The Sultan has, am
told, tried to do so, but he is afraid oI

Germany is EnSland's most formid'
able commercial rival. She has
steam vessels running to ports on both
sides of South America aud North
America, with q strong line of fast
steamers from Hamburg to New York.
Her mercantile flag is seen on ell the
Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.
Her trading ships are found IN Turk
ish, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian
waters. She has largely extended her
trade with the British colonies. She
is the second greatest exporter in
Europe, much greater than France,
who expects the foreigners to come to
Paris and purchase their goods. Ger.
many, like England, seeks her custom
ers. The Atlanta Constitution main
tains that the English have been grow
ing sorer and sorer over this year after
year. Germany has poured in tens of
millions Of dollars worth of her pro-
ducts right under the nose of the
British Government. She is selling
her goods in London and in English
manufacturing cities like Glasgow,
Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Man
chester, Bradford, Belfast and Liver
pool, and England has exported them.
She has sold the same goods to English
merchants cheaper than the English
manufacturers can afford to do. The
English dealers and the English
trades unions have at last become
ezasperated. Britain, therefore, would
go to war, if sufficiently provoked, for
the purpose of crippling as far as pos
sitle these inroads of German arti-
sans, who are now dangerous COM
pesitors with her in all kinds of goods
in all parts of the world. How dan
gerous they are was sufficiently dem
onstrated by the respective displays
of she two Nations at the Columbian
Exposition in Chicago in which, ac-
cording to the Tribune of that city,
the German exhibit was far and away
in advance OF that of England.

Cunning Scheme of a Husband Who

Cunning Scheme of Husband Who
Claimed to Be Widower.
The San Francisco Mutual Loan Asso-
citation has sued William Bowden and his
wife, Caroline Bowden for an accounting on
certain promissory notes, secured by mort
cages on Hayes and Haven streets prop
erty. 1t is claimed that Bowden secured
loan on a homestead by represen ting
that his wife had died, and tina: he was
sole owner of the properly.
1t seems that Bowden originally bor-
rowed $1,000 from the building association,
and took several shares of its capital
stock. He then borrowed $500 more, CIV
ing as security mortgages on a homestead
property on Hayes street. Mrs. Bowden
joined him in giving the mortgage. Later
Bowden borrowed 500 on the Haven
street real estate. He took out capital
stock of the association equal to the
amount of the loans.
Bowden subsequently made payments
which reduced the amount owing to the
association to about $1400. He then rep
resented that his wife had died and had all
his promissory notes and mortgages cam
celed, received over $500 in money and gave
the association new mortgage for $500
on the Hayes-street homestead. 1t now
transpires that Mrs. Bowden is alive, and

gage is valueless The association, there

the clouds were heavy and a pail hung
over the cities. Half an hour later, when
everything was sunshiney and without a
moments warning the rain began to fall
in great big drops.
There was one peal of thunder and a
flash of lightning, but no one paid any AT
tention to them, and it was only when the
rain began to fall that anybody thought
there was a summer shower in progress,
and that the garden hose would not be re-
ouired for at least twenty-four hours.
Out at Point Lo hos the storm had full
sway and John Hyslop, the Merchants
Exchange observer, had narrow escape.
The lightning struck the fagpole which
adiojns the signal station and split it from
cap to base. The electric spark new along
the guys and communicated with the OBJ
servatory. Hyslop was on watch, now
ever, and before any damage was done ne
had all the wires under control. HIS con-
nections with the Merchants Exchange
were all burnt out and it was late In the
evening before he could secure direct COM
munication.
The public did not suffer, however, as
John made regular trips to the GIN house
and from that point sent in his dispatches.
1t was the hardest days work the clever
observer has put in in years, but Hyslop
doesn't mind so long as the Exchange gets
the news in time.
The storm struck San Rafael, Tiburon
and Sausalito also. Rain fell steadily IN
those places for ten minutes, but the cleo
trical display was absent. In fact, the
only point at which the lightning struck
was Point Lobos and the only sufferer was
John Hyslop and the Exchange.
