ten days, and include the battlefield
OF Gettysburg, picturesque Blue
Mountain, Luray Caverns, Basic City,

Shenandoah, the cities of Richmond
and Washington, and Mt. Vernon.
The round-trip rate, including all
necessary expenses, is SIS from New
York, $50 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other points.

Boy H{erOine8.o

All those divine creatures, those her.
ONES Of Shakespeare, were acted in his
day, and for some time afterward, by
youths and young men. May we not
fancy that this hard condition was a
sorrow to Shakespeare, who, of all IL en-,
must most keenly have felt how much
better his godlike women could have
been realized by actresses? 1t must have
been hard for boys to turn their mascu-
line natures to favor and to prettiness
when they had to enact women-and
such womenl Shakespeare must have
longed to see the boards trodden by the
light foot of woman, with her incom-
parable grace and witchery and feeling
What manner of youth could be found
even in EliZabeth's time, worthily to
personate tho divinity of womanhood?
We know next to nothing of these boy
women actors, but demand creates n
supply, and they may have been more
satisfactory than we can we'll imagine
They must have been handsome-deli-
cately handsome. -Gentlema Maya

Sulphur.

A curious chemical result of expert
ments made by Strindberg, as noted in
Annales Industrielles, is that sulphur
IS not only not simple body, but not
even an original one, being simply q
common fossil rosin or bitumen. He
finds that when sulphur is melted at
about 30 degrees, it disengages an odor
OF turpentine or camphor, and if a
trace OF iodine be added tho odor be-
comes more marked. If it be heated
anew to between 100 degrees and $50
degrees, it loses oxygen and drops to the
level of caoptchouc, Of which latter
1t assumes the color md consistency !;
then, If the brown and viscous liquid
which is obtained in this manner be
cooled. it preserves its nature for o cor
tain length of time, and then resumes
Its state of rosin.

Tho Arnonians,

Il. Marion Crawford, the novelist,
who has met many Armenians in the
east, says of them: II doubt whether
they are the innocent, confding, inof-
fenslve Christians that the American
people believe them to be. My expert
ence with them is that they are the
sharpest, shrewdest and trickiest of all
the eastern people They say in Turkey
that it takes ten Jews to equal one Ar
menian and five Armenians to equal
one Persian in sharp business dealings.
They have many able men among them,
and doubt not that their leaders have
to certain extent fomented this trou-
BILE. hoping that the governments of
Europe would interfere and that Arme-
mia would be entirely freed from Turk
ish rule.
In regard to the Turks he says: ~
would rather trade with O Turk or O
Jew in any part Of the east than with a
Christian. have the highest respect
for Christianity. but the Christians of
the east are not like rs. The business
men among them are to large extent
set Of sharpers, SO much SO that the
words oriental Christian in the minds of
eastern travellers is almost synonymous
with that Of thief. The Turks are, as o
rule, very devout. Nearly oil of them
read the Koran, and even the men of
the better classes are careful to conform
to the details of everyday Mohammedan
worship. New York Tribune.

CANNlBAL PLANTS.
They Arc Sure to Languish When Deprived
of Their Dict of Meat.


1t has been proved time and again
that the SO called "cannibaI plants" of
which the Venus fly trap is the tyne.
are much more healthy when allowed
their regular insect food than when
they are reared under netting or in any
othor manner which excludes them
from their regular meat diet The above
is an oddly Of itself, especially when
we consider the fact that there is a certain
school Of botan;.ts which teaches that
cannibal plants make no use whatever
of the insect reJicaptured by them, but
it is nothing compared with the bold
assertion made by Francis Darwin.
That noted scientific gentleman bravely
meets the vegetarian botanist'' with
the assertion that all kinds and classes
Of plants. whether known as "meaters''
or not, bear more and heavier fruits
and seeds when fed on meat than those
that are not allowed a flesh diet. He
grow two lots, Comprising various yari-
cites OF the different common plants.
One lot was regularly fed, through
their roots OF course, with pure juices
compressed from meat, the other with
water and the various fertilizers. The
final figures Oh this experiment proved
that the plants which were fed pure
meat juice bore 1863 fruits of the differ
ent kinds, while the unfed plants of
the same number and original condition
bore but IA; also, that the pampered
plSats bore 240 leeds to every 100 borne
