The following letter from mission
AIRY In Turkey, contains the first au-
thentic news of the atrocities com
mitted by the Turkish soldiers at the
sacising OF KrushevO:
Krushevo is situated on the summit
OF hill eight hours journey to the
northwest of Monastir. 1t contains
1000 houses and 10000 Inhabitants,
mostly Wallachs calling themselves
Greeks. There are only about 100
Bulgarian houses, and the owners of
these are poor, The Wallachs are
prosperous merchants who go abroad
on business, leaving their families at
Krushevo. and after making their for
tunes by diligence and economy re-
turn to spend their wealth on fine
houses, furniture, jewels and vicious
Indulgence. The bazaar and market
are frequented by the inhabitants of
the surrounding villages. Its Turkish
neighbors have long looked askance
at the prosperity of Krushevo. The
Macedonian committee. on the other
hand. had already concerted arrange
ments with the Bulgarians in Krush-
evo, with view to bringing about dis
turbances there. This became known
In July last, when the Mudir of Krush-
evo observed q certain movement
among the Bulgarians. and warned
the Vail Of Monastir, begging him to
send to Krushevo sufficient reinforce
ments, as the garrison OF thirty sol.
diers was inadequate. The Vail of
Monastir. having received repeated
warnings from the Mudir of Krushevo,
the latter, at the end of July, went In
person to Monastir to consult the
Vail.
Sunday, August 2, was tho day fixed
for the Bulgarian attack upon Kresh-
evO. On that day four marriages were
celebrated in the Greek church there.
After the last marriage a Komitaji,
acting In concert with the band out
side. remained hidden in the church.
The sacristan locked the doors and de-
parted at ten o'clock In the course
OF the night the Komitaji who had
hidden himself mounted the steeple
and began to sound an alarm, ring
Ing the bell. simultaneously band
OF 800, commanded by Petroff, enter
cd the town, firing their rifles. The
terrified inhabitants, remained in
their houses. The band proceeded to
the house of Mudir, which they burn

surrendered and were massacred. The
officials were also killed, but the Ko-
initials spared the Turkish harems. On
Monday morning the Komitajis es-
tablished provisional government,
consisting of police and a munich
pality. They killed ten Christians
who they considered had betrayed the
plans Of the committee. They also
called upon the notables, list OF
whom had already been prepared. and
compelled them to contribute sum
OF $4,000.

Stability of the Solar System.
A question of the highest interest Is
whether or not the slight mutual in
fluences of the planets will destroy
in the lapse Of time the present gen
eral confignration OF the solar system.
1t is conceivable that the large planets
may collide, or that part or all OF
them may be precipitated on the sun,
or that the eccentricities of their or
bits may become so great that radical
changes of seasons will result from
their varying distances. Thus, II the
eccentricity Of an orbit should be re-
duced to one-half, the planet would be
three times more distant at aphelion
than at perihelion, and In the former
case 1t would receive one-ninth as
much heat and light as In the latter.
A rigorous mathematical answer to
the question Of stability is by no
means easy.
What can be legitimately inferred
from the Investigations which have
been made on this subject? Only this,
unless there are other forces involved
than those considered, the general
configuration of the solar system will
remain much as it is at present for
long time, probably tens OF thousands
or even millions Of years. The state
ments made In many excellent popular
books that the stability of the solar
system for all time has been proved
is entirely too strong and has abso-
lutely no logical foundation. The
mathematical evidence is no better
than that furnished by geology and
biology. and such sweeping conclus.
sions cannot be drawn from tho data
furnished by any science.

Dog Saved His Life.

John Hoff of Fairview. Pa, may
thank his faithful shepherd dog that
he Is living to-day. There is a sand
bank on Mr.. Hoff's farm, and he was
working there, accompanied only by
his dog. Without warning a large
section of the bank tumbled down and
completely buried the farmer. The
dog commenced to dig and bark fran.

Thursday, tho 18th. seven battalions,
with one battery of artillery, had as
sembled at Krushevo under Bakhtiar
Pasha, who proposed that the Komita-
jas should allow the women and child
rem to leave the town, but this pro-
posal was rejected. On Thursday
morning the bombardment of the
town began. When the third bomb
was thrown the Komitajis abandoned
the town. and, taking advantage Of
the cover afforded by traversing
ravines, escaped into the neighboring
forest, where pursuit was impossible.
All resistance c. the part of Krushevo
then ceased. and the Turks entered

Meanwhile. however, the Turkish

camp. These villagers, knowing all

Pours Juice over the roast.


preparing the meal is apt to be over
looked, resulting in dry roast instead
Of juicy one. The inventor Is of the
opinion that this work of basting the
meat should be done automatically,
any way. so he has designed drip
ping pan with an apparatus attached
to pour the juice continuously over
the meat. AS shown in the picture
the piece of meat Is suspended by
hooks between two rotary shafts, one
OF which is revolved by q spring mo-
tor. Projecting at right angles from
this shaft il an arm which carries a
sort Of bowl or spoon, while directly
over the meat is a perforated pipe.
To set this automatic basting machine
to work 1t is only necessary to wind
the motor and place the pan in the
oven. Each revolution of the shaft
the spoon enters the trough in the
dripping pan, takes up quantity Of
the Juice. elevates it to head of the
perforated pipe and discharges. The
gravy flows through the perforations
and falls on the revolving roast. while
the spoon resumes its journey to the
bottom of the pan once more.

Compact Book Advancement.

Cases for books, files, Libraries, etc.,
have generally the drawback of not
utilizing to greatest advantage the
space occupied. Until the stack sys-
tenn was devised, shelf room was
practically limited to the amount of
available wall space. In file rooms
particularly, the advantage of having
all the cases adequately protected
from dust and abrasion is of para
mount interest. A recent German in.
vention is designed to economic
storage space. and while affording pro-
lection, at same time it enables the
inspection of single book, or file,
without exposing the whole contents
of the case. For this purpose the case
is divided into vertical section, each
OF which is mounted on rollers and
provided with handles, and SO being
made perfectly Independent Of each
other. The cases may thus be made

DR.. Hyde's poem on page - begins rather
strangely:
go Lord, we most of all give thanks
That this thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshaled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet;
"That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still;
AS friends who share the Makers plan,
AS sons who know the Fathers will"
And yet, strange as it may sound to thank
Gcd that the world is incomplete, imperfect, is
not this the right attitude? Is not every earnest,
heaithy-minded man glad that the world is in
complete, that it has not reached his ideal, and
that there is something he can do to help it for
ward? Does he not feel that this is the chief
thing that makes life worth while? Of course,
one does not have to shape legislation, or direct
armies, or mold public opinion, in order to "help
the world forward; ;" he has only to play his own

days we are expecting very practical work from
the chosen young people that we train in our col
leges and universities. Education no longer
islands apart from service as if, like beauty, it
were it's own excuse for being" See how SINH
larly DR.. Peabody and DR.. Abbott define the true
aim of education. Says DR.. Abbott:
"The end of education is life; the object of
life is service; and that is the best education
which fits the pupil for the best service that he
can render. The first service that he can render
to society is to support himself and so not be-
come a burden on the charity of others. The Sec
ond service is to aid in contributing to the life
of Others"
And this is DR.. Peabody's definitions:
ut is a question Of a person, rich or poor.
North or South, white or black, who is to be
drawn out-as the word Education means, dis
covered, shaped, broadened and tempered for
the service Of the world, and the best education
for each person is that which draws out the most

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

I think there must be some ~sure-working
practical tests of the efficiency of popular educa-
tioA. Can they be stated? Concerning an edu-
Gated Individual, we may fairly ask, can he see
straight? Can he recognize the fact? Next, can
he draw a just inference from established facts!
Thirdly, has he self-control? or do his passions
run away with him? or untoward events daunt
him.? These are fair tests of his mental and moral
capacity. One other test we may fairly apply to
an educated individual-does he continue to grow
in power and in wisdom throughout his life? His
body ceases to grow at twenty-five or thirty years
of age-does his soul continue to grow?-FrOm

that it is one that the individual farmers will
