C.. P. R. Takes Over Wisconsin Line

Milwaukee, April 1.-THE control
of the Wisconsin Central has been fully
transferred to the 500 line and thus
made a part of the Canadian Pacific

tive boards, were ratified and approx
ed by the largest vote ever cast.

FOREIGNERS ARE SEEKING
REFUGE IN CONSULATES

Costantinople, April 19.-Confirma.
tion has been received here of the kill.
ING at Adana of two American mission.
aries. Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Maurer.
The others connected with the missions
are safe, including Mr.. Charistie, who
is at Tarsus. Three French warships
are hurrying to Mersina, where the
situation is desperate.
Foreigners and many Christians have
taken refuge in the cOnsulates. The
local troops and the government are
doing their best to protect the town,
but there is fear that it cannot hold
out much longer against the invasion
of the Moslems, who are sweeping
down in large numbers. The American
vice consul at Mersina, John Debbas,
has been unable to proceed to Adana,
owing to the interruption of commu-
niCatiOn.
Troops Make Demands
The people of Constantiople are more
concerned with the advance of Salon
ika troops than they are with the mas
sacres reported from various quarters.
Several members of the parliament
tary deputation which went to Tchat-
allie to reassure the Salonika troops
have returned. The troops demand the
safe conduct and protection of the Sa-
lonika deputies, who fled from the cap
ital and the punishment of the ring
leaders of TUESDAYS rising.
The army, which is concentrating at
Tchatalje, has promised not to enter
Cons%tantinople, but to await there the
fulfllment of it's demands. Two cor
respondents who accompanied the dep
utation were imprisoned on their ar
rival at T~chatalje, but subsequently
they were released and permitted to
return to Constantinople
The council of ministers took the de-
mands of the troops under considera-
ton. The first of these seems to be
easy of solution, provided the deputies
agree to return. The second, however,
involving the punishment of the ring
leaders, will be difficult to meet and
might cause trouble. Constantinople
IS now tranquil, although the public is
nervous and apprehensive. The garri-
son appears to be under better disci-
pine and the troops have taken oath
on the Koran to remain quiet and obey
their officers.

Tiny Tea Cups.

Tiny Tea Cups.
Tne tea-cups and pots used in Swa.
Tow, q province Of China, are no larger
than those in the sets Of dishes given
to children for their dol. houses here.
Each cup contains about three sips of
tea, and is scarcely deeper than a
thimble. 1t is a ridiculous sight to see
fully grown men and women gravely
touching these diminutive vessels to
their lips. The tea-cups used in the
province Of Canton, which are about
two inches deep, are small enough, but
those in Swallow are probably the most
Lilliputian in the world.

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the

rendered possible the production Of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most

skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of

As there is only one genuine Syrup of

Blase man Of the world, Brent Law
renee was wondering why the thought of
. week in the home of rough miner,
had no terror for him. He who had more
than once, turned with an air Of indif-
ference from the heights Of Mont Blanc.
Had experienced sense of WEAKNESS in
looking at the Alhambra. Had yawned
during the performance of some Of the
most noted actors, who ever trod the
boards, or did high tragedy behind the
footlights
There was quiet pleasure, he told
himself, in watching the changing lights
and shadows on the beautiful highbred
face of the miners wife and the grace
full baby movements of the dainty child,
as she romped with the monkey and dog
or caressed her father whom the visitor
soon learned was the child's idol. A
week of this life held no terrors for him.
Because of the novelty perhaps.
Then came the evening meal in the CO.'S
lest of dining rooms served in dishes Of
finest china, cut glass and silver. This
table frightened by bowls Of rare flow

about. Every where were evidences Of a

culture.
Watching her white hands among the
cups, and noting the ease and grace with
which she dispensed the honors, Mr.. Law
renee thought, Truly would this woman
grace the home Of an earl. Sweetness
wasted on the desert air.
AS the evening advanced the storm
came on. The wind grew fierce. The
rain fell in torrents, dashing viciously
against the windows Loud peals of
thunder, and vivid flashes Of lightning
added to the fury.

GRAY HAIRS aANisHEn.

The old idea Of using sage for dark
enlng the hair Is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age Of seventy
five. while our mothers have white
hair before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers used to make a sage tea
and apply 1t to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such prepar-
alton was the trouble Of making it, es-
pectally as 1t had to be made every
two or three days on account OF 1t
souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome, and by asking almost
any first class druggist for Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur the public can get a
superior preparation of sage. with the
admixture OF sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use OF this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color Of the
hair but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow. 1t is
