Now Looks as If the United States Claim
Against Turkey Will BE Peaceably Col
Iected.
1t can be stated on authority that
the negotiations respecting the Amer
lean missionary claims are progressing
in the most satisfactory manner, in the
view of the government, says u Wash
ington dispatch. The department has
received from Mr.. Griscom, the United
States charge, "a cablegram announc'
ing the porte has undertaken to meet
all of the engagements made with the
United States minister respecting the
payment of the claims set up on &C.
count of the destruction of the Ameri'
can mission property in Turkey. 1t is
not stated when the payments will be
made, and it is surmised that owing to
the many obligations of greater mag
nitude pressing upon the porte, some
time may yet elapse before the money
is actually in hand.
The charge also confirmed the press
reports as TO the publication by the
porte of an trade authorizing the re-
building of the destroyed missions at
Harpoot and Harsan and the construc-
ton of an annex to the Robert college,
the great American theological school
in Constantinople. This action of the
Turkish authorities is regarded as OF
an Importance far exceeding the mere
payment of 100000 on account of prop
erty destroyed by a mob. 1t amounts
to a recognition of the right of our
missionaries to build schools in Turkey
and ensures them against what they
regarded as a gradual, but absolute
exclusion from the domains Of the sui
tan. Under the Turkish law buildings
destroyed under the condition sur
rounding those at Harpoot can be re-
constructed only by special permission
of the porte. In the case Of the Har-
poot schools and Robert college, the
applications have been pending for
several years before the porte, and sew
eral American ministers have vainly
tried to forward them. Once an appll-
cation progressed so far that it receiv-
ed the approval of the sultan but by
some mysterious means it was made
way with by some one connected with
the porte and never having been Off
cially promulgated, was, of course, Of
no force.
On the whole the officials here re-
gard Mr.. Griscom's cable as marking
the safe passage of what might have
been regarded as a critical point in the
negotiations and feel confident that in
addition to this notable concession the
United States will secure all of its just
claims.

HENS NESTS. will "steal"
their nests in summer and find some
secluded location where the ground
appears moist. The fact has prompted
some farmers to believe that a moist
location should be preferred for hens
that are incubating. The selection of
the nesting place by the hen is not be-
cause the ground may be damp; but
because she desires cool location or
to get rid of lice in the poultry house.
In winter the hen prefers warm and
dry nest. Experiments show that
sitting hens will hatch out as many
chicks from the eggs when the nests
are up on a dry hay NOW as when
they are located on damp ground.

Boys ON THE FARM.-Lots Of boys
are driven from the farm by the treat
ment they receive there. You cannot
work boy from 10 to IA hours day,
begrudging him day off, and depriv-
ing him of an opportunity to make a
little money, and have little fun on
his own account, and then expect that
he is going to stay on the farm. Boys
are not built that way. But if you
treat them right, encourage their ori.
ginality and foster their development
and the doing of things for themselves,
the average boy is level-headed enough
to realize the advantages offered by
rural life. Some fathers make the mis-.
take of trying to drive boys instead of
working with them, or fail to recog-
nize the rapidity with which a bright
boy gains knowledge and experience
between IL and 20, and how quickly
he may know more or have better
Judgment in some matters than his
father. The parents are quite as often
at fault as the boys in those cases where
the complaint comes that the boys
won't stay ON the farm.-Journal OF

was the simple question whether a
resolution introduced by Mr.. Allen

lomatic representatives of the Trans

president or the secretary of state. Mr..
Hale made the question the text of an

clared that nine-tenths of the Ameri-
can people sympathizel with the Beers
in their gallant struggle for liberty
against one of the greatest powers Of
the world. He declared that "the war
which Great Britain is waging is the
most fell blow at human liberty that
has been struck in the century" He
declared that the English people them
selves were not in favor of the war,
which had been brought on by a sharp
