The prince of Wales is to be in

-Monsignor Azarian, patriarch Of
the Catholic Armenians, says that the
massacres of the last three months have
been chiefly among the Gregorian Ar
menians, and that the Roman Catholics
who tried to shelter them have had their
property plundered and confscated.
All the students at Bede college,
training school for teachers near Dur
ham, have been suspended for refusing
to eat the beef put before them. After
demonstrating in vain they left the din

their dinners, and out of Ga men only II

Rev. Madison Campbell, pastor of
the colored Baptist church at Rich
mond, KY, for the past 35 years. has
kept tab on the extent of his travels
during his ministry. During slavery
times he walked 6,2OO miles to perform
his various duties; since then he has
travelled 1900 miles on horseback, A.
300 miles by train, 1,940 by buggy, and
1000 by stage. He has baptized more
than 5000 persons during his ministry!
French medical students are angri-
ly complaining that they are crowded
out Of their own schools by youths from
abroad, and French doctors are even
more indignant because these foreign
ers, instead of going home after acquir-
ing a knowledge of physics and surgery,
settle down in France and compete with
the native practitioners. Of the 5000
students in the Paris Medical school it
seems that 1000 are aliens, and the pro-
portion is almost as large in provincial
institutions, notably at Montpelier.

Fashion Notes.

ATcons for girls are necessity. An
exceedingly pretty style has fitted
waist very much on the principle of
the underwaist for petticoats. It is
low in the neck and has large arm
holes. Around the shoulders is deep
ruff1e of the material, edged with lace
or embroidery. The points cross in
the front and meet in the back below
the belt, where they are tied with rib
bons or fastened with buttons.
Children's undergarments are great
ly simplified of late. They are made on
much more sensible plans than of old;
all petticoats having waists. and dresses
being much simpler and more comfort

Music as Medicine.

Much attention has been given lately
TO the power of music as a curative
agent. One experimenter has discov-
cred that music affects the heart, .stimu-
lating the action of the blood and caus-
ing it to coincide with changes in breath
ing. Another says that tue functional
action of the skin is increased by Raasic.

The sandstorm in New Jersey,

The face of the great sand plains OF
South Jersey have been considerably
changed by the recent high winds,
which caught up the sand and piled it
against houses, fences or any other OBJ
struction. Cuttings and bitches have
been filled in, great piles OF sand were
caught by bushes and heaped up in
some places until the sand mound was
over 20 feet high, and some of the reads
are almost impossible, owing to the
amount of sand which was blown ON
them. The Pennsylvania railroad had
men at work day and night during the
storm to keep their tracks from being
buried in sand. The sand sifted into.
houses and barns, covering everything
with a gritty deposit. Travel IN this
part of the country duriag the high
winds was almost impossible, for the
sand was binding and worked into
clothing 50 as to irritate the skin, while
hundreds of people are suffering from
sore eyes as the result Of their expo

To Make merincoe.

The nleringue ON pies and buildings,
which should be dainty foam several
inches high, is often but crustof leath-
CT, produced by too hot an oven. After
making a meringue it should be spread
roughly but evenly over the surface of
a pie or pudding that is nearly, but not
quite, cold. Turn the beat off your
oven and bake it abou: 20 minutes.
When finished it should be a delicate

slow oven from a half to three-quarters
of an hour, and then brown them
slightly with a salamander.-N. Y.

Waists for short Women.

A short woman who always manages
to look gracefully tall does so by hav-
ing her dress waists made short with
the belts inside set high. The length
which belongs to an unusually long
waist, which if its claims were consid-
cred would divide her height in very
ugly fashion, is added to the skirt,
which is never guilty of furbelows, but
always shows long unbroken line
