ENGLAND rs COWARDLY,
Will Do Nothing to Relieve the
Armenian Situation.
Lord Salisbury's Humiliating and Dis
gusting Confession - The Work of
Slaughter to Proceed without
Further Objections.


The astonishing statement made by
Lord Salisbury at the banquet of the
Nonconformist Unionist association
touching the Armenian question will
leave the world in some doubt as to
whether England is indifferent or i'm
potent, or perhaps both, as to the
massacres in that afflicted country and
the methods necessary to prevent their
further continuance. 1.-THE Berlin
treaty" Lord Salisbury said, merely
bound the signatory powers that if the
sultan promulgated certain reforms
they would watch over the execution of
those reforms" The Berlin treaty pro-
vision went further than this. The
sultan bound himself in explicit terms
to give the Armenians equal rights
under the law and the same religious
privileges as all other subjects in the
Turkish empire. This he has failed to
do. On the other hand, he has sane
toned if not inspired the slaughter of
thousands of Armenians and the de.
struction of their property for the
reason, on the one hand, that they de-
manded these privileges, and on the
other to render it impossible for them
to make similar demands in the future
by reducing their numbers, their influ-
ence and their property-holding
through the horrible cruelties of the
Kurdish and Circassian butchers. But
even if Lord Salisbury's statement
were absolutely correct, if the powers
were only to watch over the execution
of certain reforms, which it is notori-
Gus are not being executed, of what
avail is it for the war vessels of these
powers to remain at the Dardanelles :?
AS no reforms are being executed,
what is there to watch?
Lord Salisbury goes further and
makes the humiliating confession that
there is nothing in the convention
which obligates England to interfere
in behalf of the sultan's subjects. Then
why not call off the English fieet>and
leave these subjects to his tender
mercies? Lord Salisbury then pro
ceeds to gloss over the conduct

CARING FOR GLOVES.
To Keep Them In Good Condition Follow
the Directions Here Given.

To Keep Them in Good Condition Follow
the Directions Here Given.
Always stretch gloves out smooth
Gnd put in a box without doubling
when removed from the hands. a nice
addition to the glove box is scented
Rachet, giving the gloves u delicate
odor when worn.
An error that is commonly made is
ing silk, as the silk cuts the kid and
shows the mend more plainly, while
fine cotton thread gives a much more
satisfactory result. If the gloves are
torn, put piece of silk of correspond
ing shade under the torn part, baste
carefully so as not to reveal the stitches
on the right side and then draw up the
rent with cotton thread.
A few good glove cleaners are rec
commended. but it is generally better to
send gloves to one who makes this his
business than to experiment on them,
for, like the mending, it is q trade in
itself. But, whenever you do, take
warming by the fate of nice pair of
driving gloves we once had, and never
try to polish them up with French shoe
dressing. The way it came about, we
read in one of the papers that an appli-
cation of this liquid would renew the
youth and beauty of old and badly
soiled d gloves, and deeming newspa-
per, lore to be relied upon, we put it
into effect, but, alas! the result was a
revelation. To be sure, there were no
soiled spots remaining visible, but the
shine on those gloves made them posi-
lively reflective, and the way they ad-
hered to the reins turned our thoughts
to agricultural fairs and molasses
candy. In conclusion, we have only to
say: Mend, patch, clean or wash your
gloves, but never try French shoe
dressing. 1t doesn't work.-St. Louis

How to Mako Crab Croquettes.

In giving a little dinner, crab GRO
quettcs make an excellent entree. To
prepare them take one pound of crab
meat, gently press out the juice and put
it in a bowl with tablespoonful of
fine crumbs, half teaspoonful of salt,
half saltspoonful of pepper, dash of
anchovy essence, the yolks of two eggs
and very little cold water. If the
eggs are enough to make it the proper
consistency bind the ingredients to-
gether and place on ice until wanted.
Then work into cone-shaped forms, dip
them in beaten eggs, then in crumbs
and fry in best fat.

Tho Natural Death Time.

Button, Flourens. Humboldt and a
great many other eminent naturalists,
scientists, ETC., were of the opinion that
the natural limit of earthly existence
among the animal creation is five times
as long as the time expended by them
in reaching maturity. Button gives the
following table to substantiate that
peculiar belief: The camel grows for
eight years, lives 40; the horse grows
for five years, lives 25; the OK grows
for four years, lives IS to 20; the lion
grows for four years, lives 20; the dog
grows for two years, firss 10 to 12; the
man grows for 20 years, lives 100.

When Calling on Acquaintance.

BY the way, one should never say
"mal,ing CALLS" one should call il
paying visits" That seems rather u
misleading phrase, as it might imply
q stay of several days duration. But
it is good form to say it, nevertheless.
Another dictum of the smart set is that
more than two people should never
pay visits together. If there are, for
instance, three unmarried sisters in
society, or mother has two unmarried
daughters, the three must divide their
forces in some way, but they must not
descend upon friends drawing-room
at once.

There is great excitement in the town of
Wilmington, VT, over the elopement of four
young people at Z 80 o'clock Monday night.
The persons are Judson Stafford, formerly of
Brattleboro, but recently stage driver between
Wilmington and Brattleboro, and the l4-year-
old daughter of Leander RUSSELL; Walter
Wilder, a carpenter, and the l6-vear-old
daughter of Will Canedy. The men are
about 30 years old. Stafford boarded at Mr..
Russells, but had been with the girl only a
few times. Monday night the four started on
a drive to the village, half-mile distant, to
call, as they said on friend. They did not
return at IL O'Clock, and search was insti-
tuted, which revealed the fact that they had
eloped. The telephone wires were extensively
used, but failed to find any trace of the elop-
ers, who it is feared have gotten married.
Both girls are said to be very pretty and to
come from respectable families. The elopers
were found in Hinsdale Tuesday afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Mcclure of Braiteboro. They
said they had been married, and telephoned
home they would return in a few DAYS and
make explanations.
