1t is with very natural satisfaction that the
compounders Of DR.. Charcot's Kola Nervine
Tablets present the within testimonial as to
the merits Of the remedy, from the pen of
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, editor of the Bos-
ton Commonwealth and Lend A Hand and
known wherever English is spoken and writ
ten as author. preacher and lecturer. Praise
from DR.. Hale is praise indeed and the
character of the man, his high reputation and
his habits of careful research give to his
words weight and force which cannot be over
estimated. 1t is not too much to claim that
no proprietary medicine ever received a gen.
uine endorsement that can compare in value
with that given Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine
Tablets by DR.. Hale, who, as he expressly
states, did not authorize it's publication until
careful inquiry and close observation had con-
WINGED him of its absolute truth.

''The Sale Of Soul.' by Frank Frank
fort Moore, is one Of the most brilliant
bits of work yet accomplished by this
clever writer. The title, which is I'M
duly catchy and sensational, is the
worst thing about a book whose coun-
ter-balancing merits are many. It is
true that the fastidious reader lifts his
eyebrows a trifle over the situation
Which at first glance seems startling.
An Englfshman on board a steam
er sailing for Jamaica is Joined in the
first chapter by beautiful and senti-
mental woman whom he has persuaded
to leave her home for his sake-a some
what difficult task, which he only ac
complishes by virtue Of her conviction
that he understands her, and that
her husband does not. She yearns to
be understood and is willing to make
sacrifices to that end. The lady Is fol-
lowed on board by her husband, who
takes the StaterOOm opposite to her
own, and, contrary to all precedent,
proceeds to exercise good-natured If
somewhat cynical chaperonage over the
clipping couple. He proves his own I'M
derstanding Of his wife's character by
bringing along her pet dog, and proph-
esying that if he had not come, she
would have thrown herself overheard
before the vessel reached Jamaica.
This apocryphal situation is worked
out by Mr.. Moore with a dignity and
bri1liance that almost convince, and that
certainly amuse. Of course the would
be lover shows himself selfish cad,
and the husband shines unspeakably in
contrast, while the lady involved has
her eyes opened to her abysmal idiocy
and before the end Of the voyage is
ready to throw herself overheard in
disgust at her own blindness of heart
and spirit. The means which the author

ARMENIANs AND KURDs.

ARMENIANs AND KURDs.
During our chat thevsubject of the
massacres came up: Mr.. Crawford
evidently thinks there are two sides to
the story, and that all Of the truth has
not yet been told. Said he: 'I have no
doubt but that the Armenians are be-
ing badly treated but the story of the
massacres must, think, have been ex-
aggerated. This is not the first time
they have been prosecuted by the
Turks. Why, there are only 900, 900 Ar
menians, all told, and these 100000
have, it seems to- me, been massacred
a dozen times over during my personal
recollection. Armenia is, you know,
very close to Russia. If matters are
really so bad as they are painted, it
would seem to me that the Armenians
could flee across. the boundary. The
Russians are glad to get them, and
the Armenians prosper among them.
'sI met a great many Armenians dur
ing my travels throughout the East
and I doubt whether they are the in
nocent, confiding.s unoffensive Chris
tians that the American people believe
them to be. My experience with them
is that they are the sharpest, shrewd
est and trickiest of all the Eastern
people. They say in Turkey that it
takes ten Jews to equal one Armenian,
and five Armenians to equal one Per-
sian in sharp business dealings. They
have many able men among them, and
I doubt not that their leaders have to
a certain extent fomented this trouble,
hoping that the governments of Eu>
rope would interfere, and that Armenia
would be entirely freed from Turkish
"How about the kurds''
''The Kurds are a very rude, rough
people," replied ME- Crawford "They
are fanatical Mohammedans, and their
religious feeling against the Armenians
is increased byCtheir business dealings
with them, The Armenians get the
Kurds drunk and then cheat them out
of their property. You must remember
that the Armenians are the merchants
of that part ofzthe country They do
all the -business,>aad they often get
the better Of the bargain with the I'M
sophisticated Kurds."

MORALITY IN NOVELS.
Speaking of morality in novels, Mr
Crawford, why is IT there Is such a
difference between the English school
of novelfsts and those of the French
and Italian?"
1T is largely because of the differ
ence in the people and IN the stand
ards after which the stories are mod
eled. All English and American stories
are written as though they were to
be read by but one person. and that
is the young girl. Nothing that she
should not know is put into them, and

mltted 1t must be 80 clothed that she

denotes, and that the married person
can only see the truth by reading be-
tween the lines. The Italian and the
French novels are written for the mar
rfed woman, and not for the girl II
might be better for our fiction if we
had two classes of novels-one for the
girl and the other for the married peo-
pie. L have often thought of it, but
there is no way in which it could be
done. Were this country Russia the
