but will accept the invitation and tell you
all about my flowers. l have an odd-shaped

blooming roses, alternating with altheas

NUNS of pink and white. In the corners of

the circles. One mas SNOWFALL in the cen

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.-There
is a total of thirty-three American mis-
sionaries in Syria and the Cicilian dis
trict of the vilayet of Adana, where the
conflicts between Mohammedans and Ar

Henry Mourer, who were killed at Adana
no one of them, so far as is known at the
British or American embassy, or the Of

The Mohammedans indulging in massa-
ores and incendiarsm evidently are very
careful to avoid killing foreigners. When

hammedans that Messrs. Rogers and
Maurer had lost their lives while at

they grow and do not let them suffer for water.
After the buds appear pinch all off but one
