The history Of Armenia is not cheer
ful reading. With the exception Of oc-
caslonal brief periods. the Armenlans
have been almost continually under
some foreign rule. Assyrians. Baby
lonlans. Medes, PersIans. Macedonl-
ans, Romans, Parthians. saraeens,
Mongols and Turks have each in turn
dominated the country and Of all
these successive foreign yokes. the
present one, that Of the Turks. has
been the longest and the heaviest.
The highest activities Of the Armenian
people to-day are not to be found IN
Armenia proper. but rather In the
marts Of prominent cities the world
over. This is especially noticeable in
Constantinople Smyrna and other
cities Of the Levant. where the
marked aptitude Of the Armenian in
business enables him practically to
dominate the commercial situation.
One example is the Oriental rug trade.
which is practically controlled by Ar
menians, not only in the east itself,
but also In many western countries.

One who merely skins the news Of

pressed by the frequency Of accidents
due to the clothing Of women and chill
drcn catching fire from kitchen ranges
or oil stoves. In a large proportion Of
such cases, the accident results fatal
~ Not only does such an accident
seldom happen to men or boys. but It
rarely happened to women in old
times, even when cooking was done
by open fires. The reason Is the sup
planting Of wooden clothing by cotton
and linen. 1t is not to be expected. Of
course. that there will be a reversion
10 the older custom In this respect. but
Il would be a perfectly feasible thing
for women to provide themselves and
their children, II they are to be about

small children alone In rooms with un-

many deaths of young children have
resulted from this cause in England

pensloned Horses Return to Paris.

That two horses might die in the
land of their birth, Henry Dick
erson, of Milford, has shipped the
animals from Glendale to Boston,
from which city they will be sent
to France. their birthplace. Dick
erson came to Delaware several
years. ago from Washington, bring
ing the horses with him. He ex-
planned that the animals were own
ed by the widow of a minister who
came to Washington years ago from
France. He was lover of horses,
and just before his death, 13 years
ago, he left the horses in the pos
session of Mr.. Dickerson, with in,
structions to care for them until
their death. Mr.. Dickerson was to
receive 5000 year for caring for
the animals. He had despaired of
ever recovering the cost of the
horses, having lost all trace of the
minister's family. He was quite
surprised several days ago upon
receipt of a check for 50, 900 from
the widow, representing the cost of
keeping the animals for Ii years.
On the day following a private car
arrived at Glendale, into which
the horses were to be placed and
shipped to Boston. The widow of
the minister explained that she
wanted the animals to die in the
country where they were born

injuries of William Haughey, who,
lit is alleged, was struck with a
shovel by the accused during an
alteration which took place at the
formers home. Collier, who is a
brother of p. F. Collier, editor OF
Golfers Weekly, New York, gave
a statement to States Attorney
Sitter, in which he charged that
FHaughey had assaulted him first
and that he had pushed him back
with a shovel. Haughey then be-
came so abusive that Collier struck
him blow on the head, probably
fracturing his skull, rendering him
unconscious, and he is now in a

Refuses TO Swear In Waterman.

AS1uSGS ~ SWC0E IA W0LCNlhl0He
The Oxford News reports that
the mixup over the swearing in of
night Waterman John Sharp, in
that town, is no nearer solution
than at first. The Burgess stead
lastly refuses to do the swearing
and the council is equally anxious
that he shall do it. A postpone
ment to April first was agreed
upon, as Mr.. Sharp's term as night
Waterman does not expire until
that time. 1t is probable then that
he will be sworn in by a justice of
the peace. Mr.. King states that
as he has absolutely no
authority over the police officers
and cannot give them either in
structions or advice, he declines to
he responsible for them, even to the
extent of swearing them in. The
new law passed in 1879 distinctly
says that the entire control of
the police in boroughs shall rest
with the council. Borough Solicitor
Ramsey has been consulted several
times and his opinion is that while
the Burgess ought to swear the
officers in, if be refuses, the best
thing for the council to do would
be to get them sworn in elsewhere.

RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS,
The Charge of cowardice a SANDER
Defeat Of Ferret.

Tell man that he hasn't the pluck
Of rabbit and If he doesn't disproye
It by hitting you he is certain at any
rate to be extremely annoyed.
Yet the taunt is libel on the rab-
bit. A doe rabbit will fight like fury
in defense of her young She will
charge like a battering ram and use
those long sharp incissors OF hers to
capital purpose
An old buck rabbit is not to be light
ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even fer
ret. On the sanded floor OF small
public house near Chestnut a ferret Of
long experience was matched with an
old lop-eared buck. the property Of the
landlord
The ferret made straight for the rab-
bits throat, but the latter was in the
air before master ferret could reach
him. and leaping clean over the fer
ret's head let out with those powerful
hind legs OF his a kick which hurled
the ferret bodily against the wains-
cot Twice the ferret returned to the
attack and twice he missed his grip
and went hurting through the air.
The third repuse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded TO stand up
for a fourth round. Pearsons
