Armenian Question" given in the Con-
gregational Church Tuesday evening

ioyed by the large audience which

cured immediate attention and held it
throughout
The description Of her journey over
land and sea, the characteristics and
customs of the people, especially the
Turks and .Armenians, religiously and
otherwise was so vivid and sometimes
so pathetic as to inspire the hearers
with a deep sense of gratitude forsfhe
marked privileges enjoyed by people OF
Christian country as compared with
that of the people to whom she went
with the gosple OF Christ.
The native costumes and the manner
of paying respects to her mother-ln-laW
by young bride, was practically Illus
trated by volunteers called from the
audience.
Miss Wright closed with Il brief ac-
count of the massacre of Armenlans by
the Turks and of thedestruction OF the
valuable propertyschools, colleges, and
homes of the missionariesoft the Congre-
gational denomination in Turkey, who

ment of mankind, and willno doubt re-
suit in great good to all interested in

LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who
Thought He Was Born
to Command.

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigan's reg
iment of Tigers. The young man was the
best type of the "hay-foot, straw-foot" sol
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx,
ious than anyone to become an officer
He pleaded with the colonel SO long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
a book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was a vacancy among the off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con-
tents.
Forward, column right Tor left, as the
case may be-, march"
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart
parentheses and all. He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory. He was mas
ter OF that book of tactics and military life
began to take on roseate hue in his eyes.
One day the colonel called the men out fol-
drill and told Campbell he could try his HANG
at giving orders if he wished. Campbell
wished" and Immediately took the posi-
ton opposite the head of his column, which
the book had told him was the proper thini
to do. Then he swelled his chest trihe, and
with blush of pride called out:
Forward, column. right or left, as the
case may be, march,
The column prepaI ed to turn right as that
word was uttered, but when left as the
case may be" reached the ears of the men
they stood stock still. Then, as the situation
explained itself, hearty laugh went all
along the line. The colonel auieted the
eommotion, walked over to the recruit, and
made few earnest remarks in Campbell's
ears.
Campbell is still private, and is content
to hide his light under bushel.-Chicago

The Various Ways IN which Some OF
Them Arc Used.
The greater portion of the lead mined
is converted into white lead, red lead
and orange materials which are usedas
pigments for paints. Much lead Is
manufactured into sheet. some into bull
let's and other projectiles, and the only
lead which comes back into the mar
ket in the form of scrap is that used for
lead pipes.
Zinc is largely used in galvanizing
steel or iron, in manufacturing brass,
rs q sheet zinc, and as oxide of zinc used
in paint. The only zinc available for
the new use is that used in making
brass. Next to scrap iron and. steel,
scrap brass is found on the market.
Most of the worlds zinc product is
used in tin plates. Tin scrap is not
available and. though many efforts
have been made to utilize tin scrap, no
considerable amount Of metal has been
obtained this way. l
Next to iron and steel, copper is most
used in metallic, form, only n small por-
ton being used in the salts of copper
and blue vitriol. The great uses of COP

of which it forms two-thirds, in elcc-

JEWISH SHEKEL WORTH $1,000.
Something of Interest to Numismat-
lists.

Charles Lunn and j. j. Shragge of
Winnipeg are the possessors of Il rare
coin. Numismatists say that it is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000. The coin
is Jewish silver shekel, worth ip-
trinsically about 50 cents, and about
as large as an American or Canadian
half dollar. 1t appears to be very an
Client. On the one side is a represen-
tation of Aaron's rod, with the words
Jerusalem the Holy" in Hebrew char
acters, and on the other pot of man
ma and the inscription, in the same
characters, "Shekel Israel"
Above the pot of mamma there is
supposed to be sort of effulgence or
scroll, bearing in the middle Hebrew
character. Upon the presence of this
mark, which experts can detect by
ness. Experts state that the coin is
the shekel coined by Simon Macca-
beus, high priest and ruler of the
Jews, 40 b. c. He was famous in the
Jewish history. The coin was obtain
ed by the present holders from "A per-
son in whose possession it had been
for over twenty years. The present
holders bave each a half interest in
it. The coin is in a safety deposit
vault. when it can only be taken by the
two jointly. The Numismatic Bank of
Boston places the value of the piece
at from $1,000 to $4,000. The owners
are now waiting for replies from Eng
land.
