MAN WHO DARED NOT SMILE.
FrOwn at Funny Stories to
Save His Life.

A naturalized citizen of the United
States, D. Asadourian, an Armenian,
who is in business in Cleveland, was
locked up in Constantinople, Turkey,
charged with conspiracy. Through
the offices Df some Turkish business
men he was released under $1,000
bonds, effective during his stay of so
days. He has just returned to his
home here, reports a Cleveland ex'
change. Concerning his experience he
said:
81 went there on business. As soon
as my presence became known the Of
fcers came for me. They questioned
me, asking if 1 spoke the Armenian
language. This 1 denied, because had
1 admitted it 1 am sure that l would
never have returned to America. The
Turks fear American Armenians.
They think that in America the peo-
pie have an advanced knowledge of
high explosives, which might be used
to blow up the sultan. They suspected
me of being in sympathy with the Ar
menians. After putting me in prison
they had some men come into my cell
and tell funny stories in the Armenian
language. They wanted me to betray
my knowledge of it by laughing. But
I didn't laugh, for had l smiled l
would not be here now to tell the tale.
The stories were very funny, but 1
managed to keep sober countenance
in spite of my wish to laugh"

DOCTORS AND CHARITY.
What the Medical Profession Owes to
the Benevolent Institutions of
Our Country.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed to ignorance IN
the ordinary educational sense, nor al
together to economic conditions, but
more largely to the maiign effects OF
hereditary physical faint and unsanl-
tary surroundings, says American
Medicine. All modern communities
possess organizations of the charita
bly, inclined, and to the efforts of such
benevolent persons the medical pro-
fession is chiefly indebted for the
founding and support of the many in
stitutions through which physicians
exercise their functions among the
poor. 1t remains for the profession to
enter into this work in a more syste-
matte way. Every city, county and
state medical society should have
standing committee of its most public
spirited members, whose particular
business it should be to cooperate ac-
lively with the organized charities in
the capacity Of an advisory board. BY
such a system much may be done in
the way of preventing mistakes and
of developing the form of preventive
charity which will seek to ameliorate
suffering by the reduction of PERM
cious conditions. The splendid work
of infrmaries, dispensaries and hospi-
tails in placing curative medicine at
the disposal of the diseased poor, needs
to be supplemented by bringing the
science of preventive medicine into
harmonious action with that form Of
charity which looks to the lessening
of social evils along the lines Of per-
sonal and public sanitation.

JAPS AS RIVALS TO YANKEES.
Qualities Which Make Them Dam
gerous In the Line of Indus
trial Competition.

A New York man who has been for
some years the financial representa-
tive of American capitalists engaged
in manufactures in Kobe, Japan, here
on a vacation, takes a sanguine view
of the prospects before American in-
vestors in the Mikado's land, reports
the New York Times.
In Kobe, which has in a few years
.prung from an insignificant seaport
into a great industrial center, much
of the capital invested in factories
is American and European, and most
of the managers and foremeu of the
works hail from the United States
or Great Britain.
Japan's steady refusal to grant
protection to foreign patents greatly
increases her competitive power
among the nations. Through the in
comparable imitativeness of her me-
chanics the country is enabled to
produce machinery at less than half
of its selling price in other lands, and
but for the protective tariff would be
able to flood the United States with
American inventions at a price so per
cent less than that at present OBJ
tainable here.
The nimble Jap excels all Orientals
and most Europeans in quickness of
perception, in aptitude, in adaptiv-
ness, and in the practice of the
science of applied knowledge. The
Japanese workman has a great ca
pacity for long-sustained labor. He
works with a will and delights in
thoroughness. Every mechanic is an
artist who takes a keen pride in his
work.
These qualities and the cheapness
of labor ard of living combine to
make the Jap the dangerous competi-
tor of American and European work
men that he is, and that he must
more and more become so long as
the existing condition of things pre-
walls in the industrial world on this
continent and in Europe.
Trade unionism has not penetrated
to the land of the Mikado, and the
working classes are wholly subserv-
lent to their employers. So great is
the dominance of the master over his
men that no craftsman can obtain
employment elsewhere without a
written permit from his last en-
ployer. There are no factory laws,
and young children work as long as
their elders for a few cents a day.
In the factories work usually be.
gins at six a. m, and often two hours
earlier. The working day is rarely
under - hours, and the wages arc
miserably low. according to the
American standard. Skilled workmen
such as compositors, carpenters,
blaclsmiths, masons. tailors, etc, in
the larger cities, receive only &c to 80
cents Omitted States money! a day;
farm hands average about S1.44 per
north; weavers and spinners, IS
cents a day (some factory operatives
receive only five and ten cents), and
women workers think themselves for
tunate to get six cents for IL hours
toll.
Work in the factories goes on con-,
tinuously, being divided into day and
night shifts. There is only one in
tervaf in each-40 minutes being al
lowed for a meal.

observed that the navigation season

In truth, there Ia no longer any
"far" west or "far" northwest. The
rugged and often illiterate humanity
that cleft the mountains and swan the
rivers, opening up a new empire for
all the world, is also Of the past. The
universal free school sends q different
multitude now to the advancing from
tier. Sturdy but not illiterate, the
new pioneers want books wherever

forces Of civilization enable them to

Strange Fatalities.

The Chicago Tribune recently pub
lished a column of strange fatalities
collected from its exchanges. One of
the deaths was that of man at Quin-
cy, who kicked at cat, missed the an
imal, fell and broke his neck. An Ak
ron, o., barber died from inhaling hair
while working on his customers
heads. The top of can of peaches
was fractured at Blossburg, N. Y, and
bits of the powdered glass were eaten,
causing death.

Stores That Never See Daylight.

Down in many of the great coal
mines of Pennsylvania are telephones,
tool repairing establishments, black
smiths shops and various other insti-
buttons that the surface worker would
never think of as connected with cav
ems 500 or more feet away from day
light. A moving picture show portray
ing work in the mines was given in me
city last week. One Of the views con-
tanned a miner holding the receiver Of
a phone in a subterranean pay sta
ton. An attempt is made in the large
mines to provide everything necessary
to prevent employees from going to the
surface during working hours.

Volcanic EruptIOns on the Moon.

Messrs. Loewy and Puiseux, of the
Paris observatory, in issuing some ad-
ditional plates Of their Photographic
atlas of the moon, refer to the recent
volcanic cataclysm at Martinique and
St. Vincent, and say that study of the
lunar surface leads them to think that
eruptions, quite as intense as the
greatest recorded on the earth have
occurred on the moon, repeated at
long intervals in the same places. But,
favored by a condition of calm and
dryness, they have been more durable
In their effects, and the more recent
deposits superposed upon the earlier
ones are distinguishable by their dark
