Help the Orphans.

Miss Jessie Wyche of this place has requested
that call attention to the present need of funds
to sustain and finish paying for the Louisiana
Methodist Orphanage at Ruston. She has received
from the financial agent circular letter, ftom
which we take the following:
'Next Saturday, September 25th, will be work
day for the orphanage at Ruston. 1t is expected
that all who interested in this worthy and
needy will give the proceeds of that days
labor to the orphanage. All friends of suffering
children requested to assist in this way. The
Sunday school children of the Methodist Church
will find task to do and will give what they
make. 1t is hoped that every one will join the
children and bring, send, what they make on
Saturday to the Sunday school or church on Sun
day, September 26th, and it will be sent to the
orphanage at Ruston.
''It is hoped that enough money will be realized
in this way to pay the debt on the building and to
provide the necessities for the approaching winter,
SO that the helpless children that have been gath
cred together at the home may be made comfortable
and happy.
''Let every one help in this worthy cause. Surely
it is not too much to ask of any to give the pro-
ceeds of one days toll out of the entire year."

That Dog o. His.

Tyat dog O. his, it whimpers SO
And wanders lost-like through the place,
You'd have to see the brute to know
The sad expression on it's face.
It sits beside his little chair
And thumps it's tail against the floor
But he is never sitting there;
His dog can't find him any more.
The dog peers through the window pane
And banks in short, excited calls,
Or finds trail that leads in vain
Upstairs and downstairs through the halls,
And out of doors and to the street
And there the dog will stop and stand
And listen for the little feet
Or whimper for the little hand
The dog creeps to the little bed
That all unrumped is to-day
And noses at the lowered spread,
Then whimpers as it turns away:
1t finds some little battered toy
And brings it in its mouth with glee
And wags its tail in new-found joy
And looks all questioning at me.
1t rests its head upon its paws
And thinks, and thinks-and does not heed
The bone on which it never gnaws-
Then rises with excited speed
And races to some play spot; then
Comes back and wines and whimpers-yes,
And does the same things once again
As though dog could feel distress!
That dog O. hist came to me
About half hour ago
And put one front paw on each knee
And looked as though ought to know,
AS though IAh, how sad it is!
We two who loved the lad SO we'll
I'm dumb as is that dog of his
cannot ask; | cannot tell.

A HEALTH HINT.
Science in Health.

The science Of health. e., san
itary science-as it stands to-day
is product of slow, painful and
costly evolution. For many cen
turtles its one domineering thought
was the cure of disease. During
all these years of needless sick
ness and suffering there were no
attempts made for the protection
Of communities by preventive
methods.
Now all this is changed. We
have reached a point where it is
recognized that it is the duty of
the state to teach, preach and en-
force measures for the prevention
of all the diseases known to be
amenable to sanitary administra-
ton. And with all this is coming
the spread of sanitary knowledge
among the people to the end that
every citizen may aid in estab-
fishing and maintaining condi-
tions that make for community
health and happiness.

inquiry regarding Turkeys compliance
with the Berlin act is with view 10
asccrtainlng what the government is
dong under the act 10 check the Ar
mcnIan massacrcs. Turkey, according
TO article 81 of the treaty, undertook
promptly the Improvements and reforms

to guarantee their security against the
CIrcasSlans and Kurds. She promised
to make known periodically the steps
taken 10 this effect 10 the powers. who
were given the privilege of superintcnd-
ing their application. The inquiry rs
addressed to London. with q view to
seeking information. and il is explained,
is not to be regarded in any way as par
taking of the nature of demand. as the
United States, not being a signatory TO
the Berlin treaty, has no rights under
it. In the same spirit of inquiry and
with the best interests Of the suffering
people in view, the British government
has ben asked regarding the reported
dispatch of vessels TO The disturbed dis
tricts of Asia Minor, and whether this
government may depend upon Great
Britain doing all that is feasible for the
purpose of saving life.
Realizing the impotency of the Turk
ish and the Persian governments ade-
quately TO safeguard American lives
and property in the present disturbed
conditions in their countries. the state
department has intimatcd that it Will
welcome any assistance in this dircc-
tion from Great Britain and Russia,
Diplomatic representations to this
end already have been made 10 London
and st. Petersburg. AT the same time
efforts are being made TO learn wheth-
er tho powers of Europe have taken
steps to check horrors now being per
petrated against the Armenians. The
superintendency of the application Of
these reforms is given to the powers
by the Berlin treaty of 1878, The
United States was not signatory to
the convention. London has been asked
whether the ships dispatched by the
British government Will afford adequate
| protection to all foreigners and intimat-
| ing that the United States hopes that
! everything possible will be done TO
safeguard human life Russia has been
| told that the United States must rely
upon her to protect Americans in Per
! Sla.

ton possible.
