A Word Of Sound Advice.

While farmers are buying improved
implements and machinery for their
own. use on the farm, let them re-
member that there are many conven.
fences which would gladden. the hearts
of the housewives, such as a new
swing churn. a first-class washing ma

do away with the washing of SO many

Plant Seeds in Moist Soil.

Never plant seeds in dry soil, or In
soil that is less moist than the seeds,
as the dryer soil will extract the moist

PIRACY THE BOYS IDEAL.
Nearly All Lads at Some Time Have
a Longing to Become Scourges
of the Sea.

There comes a time in the life of every
boy when he wants to run away from
home and be a pirate, or a street car con-
ductor, or a politician, or something,
says the Nebraska State Journal. Usu-
ally when he makes his ambition known,
the old man puts him down with a stern
hand, and emphasizes his warning with
a strap or a switch, and when the boy
does run away he is ashamed or afraid
to come back again, feeling that he'll be
whipped within an inch Of his life. How
much better would it be if the father
would take the aspiring son into the
barn and commune with him as friend to
friend. by all means" says the wise
old man, under the circumstances, go
and be a pirate.
1T is the great Addiction of my life
that my own business cares and respon-
sibilities have prevented me from secur-
ing a long, low, rakish craft, and becom-
ing the scourge of the seas; | believe
that it is the duty of every well regulated
boy to serve an apprenticeship upon a
pirate ship, and would be the last to
prevent a son Of mine from following up
such an ambition. Any help or encour-
agement | can give you will be freely
rendered. But remember that if you
need a season of rest and relaxation,
you'll always have a cordial welcome at
home"
The boy thus addressed might run
away from home, but he wouldn't go
further than the next town; as soon as
he grew weary of the enterprise he
would remember the good old man at
home and the pleasant times around the
fire in the evening, and he would decide
to postpone his piratical enterprise for
at least a few years,

There is something particularly enjoy.
able about going to Il picnic, The very word
Picnic brings pleasant anticipatiOns Of a
good time. The idea Of going out to the
woods and fields or down by some brook

fascination. The fresh air and exercise con.

LITTLE EFFECT ON TURKEY.
Diplomatic Protests Against BrutaIities by Troops Unheeded.

London, Oct. 10.--A blue book was is- sued to-day recording the Armenian disturbances of the past year. Whilst giving consular evidence that many Armenians were killed in Susan, Mush and other districts in the course of the summer, and of the destruction of insur- gent bands, particularly on the Rus sian frontier, the blue book also shows that ArTnenian accounts of alleged mas sacres were grossly exaggerated. Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British ambas- sador to Turkey, in a dispatch of Aug ust 16 to Foreign Minister Lansdowne, reports an interview with the Armenian patriarch. who when questioned about the alleged massacres, confessed his in- ability to give the names of the places where they had occurred or to affirm that his reports were based on trust worthy information.
 The blue book confirms many previ- ously reported stories of brutality by Turkish troops and appears to show that diplomatic protests have had little effect toward improving Turkish admin istration in Armenia,

Already the chancelleries of the world have realized that it was time to halt, and some of those that had been praying for Russia's down fall or weakening have begun to consid- CT the propriety of renewing their fast dwindling friendship.

 Boston, Oct. 1O-The archbishop of Canterbury and Bishops representing various parts of the world addressed a great missionary mass meeting in Tre- mont temple tonight. The attendance was so large that it was necessary to hold an overflow meeting in St. Paul's church, at which most of the address es were repeated. The address of the archbishop was probably the last that he will make in public during his stay in America He was presented with a loving cup at Bishop William Law rence's residence by St. Stephens church of East Liverpool, Ohio, and in accept ing it spoke briefly.
 The principal business transacted by the convention to-day was the adop- ton of a resolution naming Richmond, Va, as the place for the next triennial convention, in 1907.
