Only Germany today stands between
the Sultan and his final expulsion from
Europe. England has been estranged,
and, moreover, is powerless to extend
a helping hand. Russia on the east
and Austria on the west stand ready
to rush in and carve Turkey in pieces
at the first possible opportunity. If
between them they could satisfy the
Kaiser with some acceptable territorial
or other advantage he might be willing
to keep hands off and allow the sick
man to be finished. He has been a
long time-too long, perhaps-in dying.
At last his end seems in sight.

all his summer with you. II only the
English sparrows are kept away.
Within the last year or two 1t has
been noted that the English sparrow
has taken to living out in the country
lanes and hedges as well as in streets
and alleys. 1t is there, as always,
mean, domineering little bully, depend
ing on It's great numbers to kill or drive
away any bird which appears in its
vicinity or whose resident district 1t In
yades. 1t has met one native bird,
which SO far from being frightened by
the noisy little "avian rat" finds It
only good sport to kill dozen spar
rows and hang them up to dry in the
sun. This enemy of the English pest
is the great American shrike or butcher
bird. The shrlke kills the sparrows,
dimes daintily on their brains and then
impales their bodies on spikes In
thorn tree. A single shrike will do
more to clear district of sparrows
than any number of artificial devices.

For eight crops-corn, wheat, oats,
barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and
hay-covered by the reports to the De-
partment of Agriculture, the farmers
of the United States received almost
two hundred million dollars more in
1900 than they obtained for the same
products in 1899. Buckwheat and bar
ley were the only crops in the list
which showed a decrease in value, and
the advances, in corn and hay especial

The Heating surface of Kettles.

So completely has the idea of the adj
vantage to be gained by greater heat
Ing surface taken possession of the
minds of few inventors, that they are
determined to run the corrugated idea
into everything. One invention is a
kettle with corrugated bottom which
will, it is claimed, heat water much
more quickly because 1t has more
surface. In view of the fact that at
least half of the time the kettles may
stand upon the top of the stove, this
idea does not seem feasible. as In this
case there would be arches all through
undeg tho bottom, and the Kettle would
scarcely heat at all.

Kills Himself il Hi. Sleep.

Death by his own hand while in SOM
nnlnbulistic state is the strange fate
which befell a young man of the name of
Clifford Snddoris, who lived near De-
witt. Saddoris in the middle of the night
got up, loaded his gun with buckshot,
went to the barn and fired the guns con-
tents into his heart. The remains were
found the next morning by his father.
The verdict of the jury in the coroner's
inquest was suicide. Saddoris' parents
and relatives say that he was in the habit
of getting up in his sleep and doing many
strange things. The night on which he
committed suicide before he went to bed
he read aloud to his parents an account
of a man committing suicide by going to
the barn and firing a charge of buckshot
into his heart. He appeared to be con-
siderably moved by the incident, and ex-
pressed great sympathy for a man whose
mind was in such condition that he
would take his own life. He went to bed
as usual, but some time in the night he
killed himself in identically the same
manner.
