telling them how much better it would
be if they would work out the solution
for themselves and gave them another
day.
"That night, behind locked doors and
closed blinds, I worked in fear and per-
spiration. From the bottom of my trunk
I took key to the arithmetic, but even
with that aid I failed to master the
problem. By midnight was desperate.

Why Europeans Are Safe Among Turks.

The explanation Of the safety of Eu-
ropeans among these fellows, even where
the police were absent, is probably to be
found in the tentative character Of the
Turk s violations Of right and Of law.
In doing what is wrong he always be-
gins al abjcct coward, gaining courago
with impunity The mere fact that o
European would walk straight through
a crowd Of the bludSeCn men, jostling
against them in an uncOncerned manner,
convinced them that for some reason he
was not a safe man to attack. In some
cases Ar1nenians walked safely through
the mobs on the street simply by push
ing their way with q determined air. In
every case where an Armenian ran from
them, or even hesitated on meeting
them, his only chance Of life was gone.
The tentative character Of Turkish ag-
gressions is not sufficiently borne in
mind. At the beginning of a wrong even
sultan will draw back when he sees that
his course is resented by one whom he
knows to have the right and believes to
have the force to do so.-Yvan Troshine

were never too particular as to whose

An Old Hymn.

A pathetic and yet charming story IL
told of the origin Of the well known
hymn, "Bleat be the tie that binds, !"
which was written by Rev. John Faw-
cett, an English Baptist, who died in
1917, having spent nearly go years III
the ministry.
1t was III 1772, after few years
! spent III pastoral work, that he was
called to London to succeed the Rev. DR..
Gill. His farewell sermon had been
preached near Moinsgate i'll Yorkshire.
Six or seven wagons stood loaded with
his furniture and books, and all was
| ready for departure.
But his loving people were heart
broken. Men, women and children gath
cred and chung about him and his fam
lily with sad and fearful faces. Finally,
overwhelmed with the sorrow Of those
they were leaving, DIR. Fawcett and
his wife sat down on one of the packing
cases and gave way to grief

last, II cannot bear this! l know not
how to 60"
Nor / either" returned her hus-
band, land we will not go. The wagons
shall be unloaded and everything put

His people were filled with intense
joy and gratitude at this determination.
DR.. Fawcett at once sent letter to
London explaining the case, and then
resolutely returned to his work on sal
airy of less than 5000 year.
This hymn was written to commemo-
rate the event When Mr.. Coffing, q
missionary at Aintab, in Armenia, set
Out in 1860 to explore the Taurus moun-
tains, he was to penetrate an entirely
new and dangerous field. This fact was
fully realized by the inhabitants of
Aintab, and they gathered to the num-
Der of 1000 at the roadsides and babe
farewell to the missionary and his fam
lily in the Armenian words of this hymn,

The frail courier darted out into the

over 1000 rifles of frozen waste and
then sped forward over another 1000
miles of ocean and plains and forests
and one morning entered the window of
the waiting mistress and delivered the
message which she had been awaiting
so anxiously. We boast of human pluck,
sagacity and endurance, but this loving
little carrier pigeon, in its homeward
flight, after an absence of 80 months,
accomplished feat so wonderful that
we can only give ourselves up to the

Man and the Mammoth.

A remarkable discovery was made p
few years ago III the sandstone rock at
the Nevada state prison. The "fnd"
was considered wonderful not only
from geological standpoint, but from
an chronological point Of view also.
While the convicts at the institution
were uncarthing some huge blocks of
stone they uncovered some peculiar in
dentations in one Of the slabs. Closer
investigation proved that these queer
marks We're the tracks of some gigantic
beast of antediluyian time-perhaps a
mastodon or q mammoth. When the
startling intelligence was announced to
the prison officials, they had the sand
stone slabs containing the tracks care
fully cleaned, whereupon another Won
derful discovery was made In the same
pieces of stone, sometimes at the side
and sometimes between the tracks, made
by the great prehistoric beast, were a
series of human footprints, which proved
conclusively that man and the mammoth
lived not only at the same time and III
the same age, but that the huge beast
and the man had passed that way dur
ing the same year, and perhaps on the
same day. These wonderful relics of a
bygone age Were found III q quarry at a
depth Of about 10 feet from the surface
and had previously been covered with q
stratum composed of hundreds of tons
of stone-the accumulation of the ages
that had interviewed between the date
upon which the tracks were made and
that upon which they were revealed to
the scientists. Expert biologists who
have since passed an opinion on tie
matter say that at the time the tracks
were made that which is now hard
sandstone was mucky deposit of soft
sediment, probably the border Of lake,
where the man had been fishing, and
where the mammoth had come to battle
