: 49,
The power of the money devil was
never more fully in evidence than is
row displayed in the attitude of the
great powers Of Europe toward Turkey
and the terrible massacre of Christians
IN Macedonia. Turkey owes millions of
dollars to the money lenders of the
Christian nations of Europe and the
money lenders have the power to pre-
vent the governments Of these nations
srsrn attacking Turkey and putting a
stop 10 the butchery of the unhappy
Christian subjects of the Sultan.
They know that the downfall of Fur-
key as a government in Europe would
mean the extinction of the debts the
Sultan owes them, and rather than
lose these millions they prefer to see
the Bulearians and Maeedonians butch
cred by the. ton thousand. The mon
sy devil stands sponsor or.the anspeak-
able Turk and paralyzes the bands and
arms that would otherwise oe sgfetch-
ed forth to stay the Turks in their
carnival Of buschesy and outrage in
Macedonia. There may be-a slight ele-
ment Of politics in the disincIination
of the powers to interfere to save the
Aapless Christians of Macedonia from
The Turks, but the controlling iniu-
ence is the money power. The enor-
nous debt Of Turkey is its shield and
buckler against the powers of Europe,
for dollars and cents count more with
the bankers OF, Frankfort, Be lin,
yienna, Paris and London that the
lives of a hundred thousand helpless
Christians.

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS.

Annapolis. Md. Jan IL. 2.-Particu
lars of fight between Midshlpman
Robert A. Pearson. member of the
fourth class. from Concord. N. H..
and Farncis G. Blaisdel of New York
have been given out. The former is
in the hospital with broken jaw and
Blaisdel is locked up. The affair
occurred last Sunday night, and was
the result of Pearson's refusal to be
hazed by the upper classmen. The
upper classmen had been running
him. and some time ago he is said to
have tainted under the ordeal. He
was accused of cowardice. and was
required to fight third class man.
Blasdel was pitted against him. and
in the first round broke Pearson's jaw
The latter. however. continued the
fight until the fifth round, when a
first class man present stopped the
contest 1t is reported that the first
class man was referee and that seconds
were chosen by the men from their
respective classes.
Blasdel has been placed under ar.
rest, and others connected with the
affair will probably be arrested ais
by the academy authorities who ar,
determined to punish the guilt
parties.

A butterfly should be pinned through
the middle of the thorax and in such
a way that the body is at right angles
to the pin. The thorax is between
the head and the point where the
wings join the body. After the in
sect is properly pinned, it is ready for
setting, and for this process a set
ting board is necessary. The setting
board is plain. fiat board with mum
