ARMENlANS A FADING RACE
Early Days OF Race Now Dccimatco
by Turkish Massacres

The history of Armenia dates from
very remote times. Hailing, no one
knows whence, at the same time as
the races who have populated Europe,
the Armenians formerly Inhabited tue
steppes of Russia and the plains of
the lower Danube, and for a long time
Thrace. where they lived side by side
with the Hellenes their congeners.
Afterward, at about the time Of the
Trojan war, we see them cross the
Hellespont and settle in Phrygia, with
the Phrygians, of whom they were
then but n great tribe. At this time
the empire of the Eittites was extin-
guished 1t Is from Phrygia that cont
trary to the general law of migrations,
the Armenians advanced toward the
orient, along the high valley of the
Euphrates, and came to occupy the
regions OF Van, Urumia, Erzerum and
Ararat The kingdom of Urartu dls-
appeared; the Armenans installed
themselves upon the ruins.
II was then that appeared the grand

against Bel. that is against the kings
Uf Assyria. The Armenia major OF
our days was then occupied by peoples
related TO tne present CaucaSlans, 10
the Lazes, Minrrelians, and Geors-
ians, whom the kings OF Asshur, after
the fall Of the powerful state OF the
oorders of Lake Van, hoped TO subju-
rate. But Nineveh herself was soon
to fall. and thru this revolution the
Armonians gained the time to estab-
fishing their power firmly in the reg
ION they conquered under the leauet-
ship OF Hiak. The first kingdom of
the Armenian. Hal, was founded six
or seven hundred years before our
era, and the spirit of Haik has lived
until our own day, welding the Ar
menian element that was separated
from the Phrygian nation.
Some centuries after the collapse OF
Nineveh. the Medes We're disposed
of power The scepter passed to the
hands of the Persians, whose onrush
forced the ancient rulers Of Iran to
retire to the mountains. Then these
tribes came in contact with the Arme-
"ians, who, repulsed from the East,
transm itted this pressure to the
peoples of Ararat.

American Watches,

The forty-fve years during which
the United States Census Bureau has
separately listed American watch
making establishments have wit
messed a Capitalization OF the indus
try and a five-fold expansion in the
value OF the output.
In 1869 there were in the United
States thirty-seven establishments
making watches, watch parts, and
watch movements, employing l,Sib
wage earners, or an average work
ing staff OF less than fifty.
In 1914 there were but fifteen suck
establishments, yet they employed
1880 wage earners, or an average
per establishment of SIS.
In 1869 the thirty-seven establish
ments for which returns were made
used materials that cost $412,783
and their combined output was val.
ued at $4S19.989; in 1914 the ff.
teen factories used materials that
cost $4,670,000 and wrought these
into watches, parts and movements
worth $14.275.000.

Practical Health Hint,

The pocket handkerchief should
be abolished. because it is a source OF
infection long after a person has re.
covered from such diseases as in
fantile paralysis and even common
colds, says DR.. F. Robbins in the
Medical Record. "The day will
come" he says, "when the custom,
ary cotton rag is replaced by the
cheap and clean Japanese paper nap,
KIN, which is burned after ii has
been used. Infants and children are
helpless against the rubbing of
strange handkerchiefs over their
perspiring and grimy faces. The
public roller towel of the past was
innocuous as compared to the family
pocket handkerchief. Bitter expe-
rience will drive home the lesson
that neglected noses. mouths and
throats are largely, If not exclusive.

Respiration Restored by Unique
Method

surgeon in one OF the Southern
coal producing States, recently found
a new method OF establishing respira.
tion by reflex action. He had been
using ordinary methods for several
hours and was barely keeping the pa
tient alive. although he had worked
very hard. Happening to see a comb
on dresser. near the bed on which
the patient lay, he took it and drew
it smartly across the nose, the teeth
of the comb coming into contact with
the septum between the nostrils. The
patient at once began to breathe and
his respiration soon became normal
1t was necessary to repeat the opera
tion several times, but the patient
finally recovered.

paint it with iodine. AS soon as in

rolled on the end of it in the iodine.
and paint over the wound without
