ever, Says Board.
The condition Of the American missions
aries and native Christians at Tabriz and
Urumla, Persia. is safe, according to tho
latest report received by the state De-
partment from Ambassador Henry Nor
senthau at Constantinopie. The State
Department communicated with the Am
bassador, requesting him TO make care
ful inquiry into the condition of Amer
lean missionaries In Persia. The follow
ing reply was received from the Am
bassador:
In reply to your recent inquiries as
to the condition Of the missionaries
and native Christians at Tabriz and
Urumia, Persia, wish TO say that the
American Consul at Tabriz teiegraphs
American missionaries safe. Native
Christians Mt Tabrlz and Urumia un-
tnolested. There are many refugees.
This Will bring great relief to Persians
In this country, who have feared that
their people in Urumia had suffered at
tack. il the various reports are correct
II would seem that those who fled TO
Urumla and Tabriz might. perhaps, have
remained safely at home, IL was only
naturnl, however, that they should fear
the approach Of the Turks and Kurds
The problom still remains how TO get re-
lief to tho refugees in Tabriz and Urumla,
says the Board OF Foreign Missions. the
othces Of which are in New York. The
board Is doing It's best In sending relief
moneys to Persia for distribution by the
American consular authorities.

Her Gift
By F. A. MilTCHEL

4 girl was sitting on the porch of her home thinking. Five years before on that very day of the month she had refused Henry MacAIillan. She was then eighteen years old. and the in- direct method in love affairs appealed to her. If d man proposed to her and she refused him she expected him to return the next day and the next and so on till she accepted him. MaCMil- Ian had no conception of this sort of lOyemaking. He never said anything he didn'e mean and couldn't under stand any one else doing so. But his experience with women was not ex- tensive.
 On this summer afternoon Luella Travers was thinking of Henry Mac Milan. She had not intended to refuse him more than once. When he came back the second time-which she nat urally expected he would do-she in- tended to accept hlm and at the same time show him how long she had loved him by giving him smoking cap. on which she had embroidered a wreath. He had no use for a smoking cap and no ambition to wear q wreath about his head, but Luella couldn't think of anything else to do for him.
 Henry was us stupid about some things as he was wise about others If a dozen persons had witnessed the refusal he received every one of them would have known that Luella was refusing him with her tongue while she was accepting him in her heart. Henry heard her words, but saw not their denial. He had received busi- ness offer in distant city and wished Go learn if Luella would marry him. If so he would consult with her as to its acceptance: If not he would accept lt without consulting her and go where he would not be near her and conse- Quently the better able to recover from his desire for her
 Lucia was a bit surprised thot Henry should have taken her reply SO seriously, should lave bowed. though reluctantly. to what he considered the inevitable. He left her without q mur- mur, and she was somewhat fearful that he might not give her an oppOr- tunity to recall her refusal. She had half a mind to call him back. But half a mind Is not q whole mind, and she lst him go, expecting the next time she

THE CIGARETTE BEETLE.
This Tough Little Pest Will Flourish
 Even In Cayenne Pepper.

! nlS ougn LlSCle FeSr WUl FiouFISU
 Even In Cayenne Pepper.
 A tiny but withal practically om- nivorous little fellow, the cigarette beetle is known to science as Lasioder- ma serriCOrne. It Is common in nearly all tropical and subtropiCal countries, and, as q sample of Its catholic tastes, we may mention that 1t will breed in raisinS, rhubarb, cayenne pepper, rice, ginger, dried fish, upholstery, ergot, turmeric, books, cane work, gun wads, IiuuOriCe, saffron, belladOnna and in pyrethrUm powder strong enough to kill CockrOaches-a varied catalogue to be sure. It is chiefly as a pest of tobacco, In various forms, however, that the cigarette beetle has become notorious. The greatest damage is done to the wrappers of cigars and cigarettes, through which 1t eats small holes.
 The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf, and a very interesting fact is that the size of the adult beetles, into which the larvae eventually develop depends not only on the quantity, but also on the quality, of tobacco that has been de- voured in the immature stages. EX- pertinent has shown that in every case beetles obtained from selected cigars were double the size of those from low grade tobacco. It will be remem- bered that the cheese Skipper" is par flal to the better cheeses; similarly, the cigarette beetle Is somewhat of a con- noisseur, for given a free choice cigar cites are always the first to be infested, while cheap grade tobacco and cigars kept In the same room will remain un- infested for years.
 Apart from the actual destruction Of the tobacco leaf, the larvae spoil It's aroma and accordingly deDreciate Its value: 1t Is some consolation to know that the adults themselves do no dam age. This little beetle Is most difficult to eradicate. and. to that end. an eX- perimentaI x ray machine was spe- cially built at great expense in Amer lca. The machine was to be capable of "sterllizing" cigars, on commercial scale, at the rate of 10000 a day; volt ages of G4,OOO to 75,OO0 and exposures
