early life, increases to the twenty
fourth year and decreases after that.
The higher classes are most sensitive
and the degenerate least. He found
the latter class very obtuse to the SEN
sation of pain. Endurance of pain va
ries between much broader limits In
women than in men, reaching a maxi
mum far beyond the masculine limit,
possibly due to the greater suggestibil-
ity' of the female sex. General sensi-
bility reaches the highest point in the
nineteenth year. He consid-
ers woman's comparative insensibility
to pain as sign of her inferiorlty to
man, as the uncivilized and degenerates
are least sensitive. He attempts to
prove connection between this char
acteristic and her longevity"

DIR. II C. TCHARCHAFDJIAN.

A Victim of Turkish Cruelty in Asia
Minor.
H. G. Standardization, an Armenian,
who arrived in Stamford a day or two
ago, and who recently returned from O.
visit to his native land, tells an inter-
esting tale of Turkish atrocities and of
hardships and sufferings he was sub
Jected to Immediately upon his arrival
in his native place. Mr.. Tcharchaf-
dian Is a medical student, and upon
completing his course in the London
Hospital Medical college, London, Eng
land, resolved to return home. He left
London last January for Turkey, and
upon arriving at Jaffa was seized by the
Turkish soldiers and put into prison for
no other reason than that he was an
Armenian and particularly an English
medical student. He was kept in pris-
on for two months and subjected to the
most cruel treatment. He was beaten
numerically. and still bears the marks
upon his person. His effects were also
plundered, and the names OF his uncle
and brother being found among his cor
respondence, the former with his two
sons were murdered in cold blood upon
the street while going from one street
:
to another, and the latters shops In the
city of Diarbekir were burned to the
ground. His parents property was also
conflscated and his father compelled to
renounce the Christian religion and
adopt the Mohammedan faith upon
pain Of death. His unjust confinement
was finally brought to the attention Of
the Armenian patriarch and English
vice-consul who interceded in his be-
half. He was finally released upon
condition that he Immediately leave the
country and never return to Turkey,
which he was only too glad to consent
to. He sailed for England and then
came to the United States, arriving in
Stamford a few days ago. He may
practice his profession in this city,

STRANGE COLLECTIONS.

Some curious collections of articles,
in themselves valueless, have cost their
owners enormous OUTLAWS OF money and
time An eccentric banker accumulated
curious toys from every nation, ex-
pending for them thousands of dollars
No child was allowed to touch them,
and as the owner was ashamed to show
them to adults very few eyes but his
own saw them until after his death.
Another wealthy and eccentric man
owned an almost uncounted number of
teapots, and third spent so much
money upon clocks that that he de-
prived himself of every comfort Of
life.
One of the most singular collections
is that made by M. de Sommerard, of
shoes, now in the Musee de Cluny, in
Paris There Is the footwear of every
country and age; the sandal of the
Greek, the wooden sabot of the French
peasant, the Turkish slipper of inlaid
ivory, the Chinese two-toed shoe of
quilted cotton, fine embroidered shoes
from Africa, hlgh-hip boots of skin
from Patagonia, and hundreds Of
others

history is to be found in an old building
in Salisbury, in England. A lad named
Blackmore many years ago In this
country began to collect the weapons,
utensils and ornaments found in the
mounds Of our Western States, the
of his tribe and race.
AS he grew older his zeal increased.
He had both time and means to indulge
1T. His collection Of the relics of the
Mound Builders became one of the
most complete in the world.
1t occurred to him then to collect the
arms and utensils used by other races
in their infancy, and to arrange them
to show how the minds of men separat-
ed by continents and ages acted under
similar circumstances.
The result is that we see almost at
a glance how the savage man of pre-
historic times of many countries
secured or cooked his food, clothed him.

of his tribe of race.

dress was pink straw trimmed with
mauve black and white, and the pink

ruff1e of the lace that trimmed the
gown.
Cotton parasols are much in evidence
at seaside and mountain. resorts and
they are made so deliberately and in
such brilliant colors that one is almost
led to ask what the good is of silk. A
parasol is never in style from one sea-
son to another, so it is better to go
in for two or three cotton ones, than
put all your money into one silk that
will only be pretty for this season and
thereafter be dead loss.
Crash Is again the rage for wheel
suits, for travelling gowns and for gen.
eral wear. Crash skirts are voted cool
and charming for wear with white shirt
waists, and crash shirt waists are in
turn worn with all sorts Of skirts. Whit q
and linen color is delightfully."- cool in
effect, and crash trimmed with white
embroidered ruff1es are very nice for
travelling, almost as good as pongee.
But beware about making the material
unless 1t has been thoroughly shrunk,
and remember you take awful chances
when you get such material ready made
because after the first fog or rain the
stuff will probably shrink three inches

HARD no DO GOOD.

That 1t is hard to do good, even when
ones intent is right, has been discov-
cred by the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of st. Louis. The intent Of
the Union Is to do all 1t can to diminish
the ravages Of the demon alcohol. In
carrying out this intent the good wo-
men OF the Union thought they might
be able to decrease the demand for
strong drink by providing drink that
wouldn't be strong enough to hurt any,
body and wouldn't contain any of the
seductive and damaging alcohol. So
they established a number of automatic
fountains, regular penny-in-t he-slot
machines, for the purpose Of dispensing
what they declared to be delicious,
purely medicinal, healthful, non-alco-
holic beverage, guaranteed harmless to
the smallest child And they called it
cherry phosphate. All went well for
time, and much of the non-alcoholic
beverage was used. But DR.. Felix w.
Garcia, a cold-blooded man of science,
came along, and made a chemical ex-
animation Of the non-alcoholic
cherry phosphate. Then he told the
astonished women, who were trying to
do good by means of the cherry phos-
phate that when the phosphate is taken
into the stomach, the starch of the
sugar, with other ingredients, is con-
verified into pure alcohol.
Some of the people of st. Louis are
laughing at the good women who tried
to do good, and found that they had
done just what they didn't intend to
do. But it is no laughing matter. The
melancholy incident shows that it re-
quires great knowledge to do good with
certainty, and it is calculated to make
one wonder what the real effect of that
which he has done with good intent
has been. 1t is to be hoped that it
hasn't all been as Numerically oppo-
site to the intent as the st. Louis per-
Torrance has been.

ENGLAND's COAL QUESTION.

About thirty years ago England was
agitated by the assertion of a distin-
guished economist that in three or four
generations more the coal supply Of
Great Britain would be so far exhaust
ed that it was questionable whether
what remained of it could he mined to
advantage. Confidence was restored
by Mr.. Hull, who published a treatise
in which he showed that the availa-
BILE stores of fuel were hardly within
measurable distance of exhaustion. At
that time the annual output was in the
neighborhood of 100,O00,o00 tons; at the
present time. the quantity raised ap-
proximates closely to 200, 900, 900 tons
per annun, and Mr.. Hull has published
a revised edition of his earlier work, in
which, while not being frightened or
pessimistic, he expresses himself with
much less confidence than he did nearly
a generation ago. The main supply, it
is said, will, by the last of the present
century, be drawn from depths Of from
800 to 1900 feet, and In order to main
| tain anything approximating the pres
ent output these depths will in the near
future have to be greatly exceeded. A

MORE MaaIo AND 4 SPEECH.

was made in the board of aldermen to

Aladdin could get a banquet with his
wonderful lamp Now to see how the
magic will work with the board of
finance.
The chief feature, Of the evenings en-
tertainment was the speech of his
honor, the head man of the village. 1t
Is not probable that any board Of al
dermen in this or any other Connecti-
cut city ever listened to such speech
from mayor as that delivered last
evening with so much feeling and elo-
quence by Mayor Farnsworth. 1t was
devoted largely to his estimate of the
power and the weakness of the press,
and it is needless to say that when he
got through with the press, it was
shorn of its power and left in state
of alarming weakness. 1t beats all

can say in a few minutes and how little
