Paris, Armenian Church .

In the Rue Jean-Goujon, en- the
greater portion of the site of the Bazaar
de la Charlie of sinister memory, an
Armenian church is to be erected. The
land has been purchased by a rich
owner of oil mines of Tifiis, NJ Manta-
choff, who desires that his cOreligion-
lists shall have a better opportunity
Of following their religion in Paris.
The Armenian colony is really very
numerous, and consists of more than
a thousand persons. A chapel where
the Armenian rites have been cele-
brated is existed for some time in
the Rue de Vienne, but the building is
too small. There are only two Ar
menian churches in France, the other
one being at Marseilles. The new edi-
flee will be built in the neo-Byzantine
style that distinguishes the temple of
The cult. Among the Paris Armenians
are some very wealthy men. In one
square are to be found thirty CONNER
cial men, all Armenians, and all very
rich. They have formed a society.
which each year introduces three
young Armenians to the Paris schools.

Clever Pussy.


You have seen a little cat sit upon a
stoop and a dog snarlmg and barking
at her Pussy is caught in a position
from which there is no escape, and
her sitting there to face out the threats
of her canine enemy is her only choice.
She appears to take things as calmly
as if she were sitting on a rug before
the parlor fire If she runs away while
the eyes Of the dog are on her she is
lost If the dog has courage enough to
seize her, death would be her fate
Her enemy feels that he is powerless
to touch her, and knows that she is
on her guard, in spite Of her air of
perfect content Her legs hidden I'M
der her fur are ready for a spring.
Not even for a second do her eyes
move from the dog. The latter circles
around pussy, barking furiously all the
time; but the cats eyes follow him
with the keenest scrutiny.
She is waiting her opportunity and
she does not miss it. The canine backs
a few feet and settles down upon his
fOrepaws A bark across the street
attracts his attention for a moment,
and when he looks back the cat is
missing. He gazes down the street and
! sees her tail disappearing over a high
| wall.
Pussy proved a veritable Napoleon
in generalship, and showed more pluck
than his dogship.-New York News.

the call some one gave the child my
Julia TO play with. That was all right,
OF course; but when they We're going

dolly along! My sister came out and
found me, and asked If l would give
the little visitor my Juha.
OF course l said mo, indeed"
But my sister coaxed me n great
deal. and told me that the little visitor
was crying very hard, and could not
be comforted, and would not give the
dolly up. She told me, besides, that
was almost too big to play with dolls
any longer.
SO at last I consented to give my
dear Julia to the spoiled child, who
cried for what was not hers! When I
went in by and by, she was gone. None
of the big people ever knew how lonely
and unhappy l was without my pre-
cious doll.

woman's Opinion OF Yellow Jour
nails and Their Makers.

Hartford Courant.
Edith Wharton, in short story in the
June Harper's entitled 1.-THE Quicksand" "a
title without apparent relevancy, has de-
picted the effect upon woman of being con-
nected by marriage or love with the owner
of a scandal newspaper-possibly what is
currently known as yellow journal"
There are women, perhaps, who would
never feel any shame from such an associa-
ton; to whom it would not occur, as 1t
did TO Mrs. Quentin, "to ignore the paper
altogether-to take what it gave as though
l didn't know where 1t came FROM, in
venting the theory that one may, so TO
speak, purify money by putting 1t to good
uses" We say that perhaps there are such
women, although We doubt IL. There are
many channels by which sound soclai
judgment reaches women, so that they feel
ii, even when both their nature and their
training tend to make them Indifferent TO
all opinions except their own. One reason
for this is that all women, placed In the
position of mere recipients. have the leisure
to observe and to reflect upon the attitude
of others toward them and little by little
they grow to understand the nature and the
cause of this attitude. With the man, who
is really responsible for the whole situation,
the case is different. The JOY of the strug-
gle and of success absorbs his entire atten-
ton and destroys whatever sensitiveness he
may once have had.
But Mrs Wharton has assumed, both for
ner Older woman anu the younger oIlS, lndl
they are observing, thoughtful and right
minded; that they women who would
understand clearly and feel keenly. The
poignancy of the relation of wife or sweet
heart under such conditions is very much
intensified, and Mrs. Wharton analyses this
prolonged pain with no little skill. 1t
amounts to this-that the woman loves the
man and despises and abhors what he does;
that the more conspicuous and more power
full he becomes, in pursuance of his point OF
view, the more contemplate and degraded
he becomes from her point of view; and
that the satisfaction which he feels is
wholly personal to himself. and therefore
selfish while the unhappiness and shame
that come over her are for those that she
loves far more than for herself The story
is dissection, but il is the dissection of a
real social phase, and so far as we have
observed Mrs Wharton is the first TO per-
ceive this phase.

Where n Ton Is Not a Ton.
Philadelphia North American.

When is a ton not a ton? This is not
is a carload of coal at the mine. Indeed
ton of coal never is a ton anywhere. In
some mines ton demanded from the miner
is nominally ESQ pounds, but as the COM
pany Ordains that each hundred pounds
constituting that ton shall consist actually
of 112 pounds, the true weight of the miners
ton becomes 500 pounds. When ii reaches
the coal dealer the ton may possibly weigh
2,240 pounds. When ii gets into the con-
sumer's bin 1t weighs 1000 pounds.
Figures cited TO show the labor cost of
coal at the mine generally confusing
and misleading, and the confusion is due
largely TO the fact that the ton is not
fixed unit of measurement. The mine books
may show that a certain amount was paid
in wages for a certain number of tons of
coal but the figures are always false. IT
is easy trick to so juggle with such data
as TO make it appear that the miner re-
ceives $1.63 for each ton produced.
The truth appears however. when the
annual output OF the anthracite district, a s
shown By deliveries in the market is COM
pared with the annual wage account. Last
year the anthracite companies marketed
s.. 900. 900 tons and paid $50. OO0. 900 in wages
to all sorts of workmen. That fixes the
entire labor cost of the production of a ton
of coal al So cents. The companies get out
of the miner something over 80 per cent.
more labor than they pay for.
Yet the operators complain that the miner
is unreasonable and arrogant in demand
ing that ton shall be ton, and that it
shall be weighed and paid for honestly.
