ARME MAS HOPE.

The whole Christian world, outside
 of the realms of the Kaiser and his allies, must applaud the announce (ment of the new Russian government promising a self-governing and free Armenia, under the protection of Rus sia. For centuries the Armenians have been subjected to the ruthless and terrible persecution of the Turks. In the present war the Armenians have fared worse, perhaps, than any other people. Soon after Turkey en- tered the conflict a proposal was made to the political leaders of the
 Armenians. suggesting that bands of Armenians be raised to join in an in- vasion of Russian Caucssia. The Ar menians were promised an autono-
 nous state under Turkish suberainty as a reward for their aid. Having had
 previous Knowledge of the value of
 Turkish promises. the Armenian lead
 CTS answered with a decided refusal fingered by this attitude, the Ottoman
 leaders retaliated by deporting vast
 numbers of the people. These were established in camps in various parts of Mesopotamia, where they were left
 to starve. According to the testimony
 of host of witnesses-many of them
 missionaries from American and other
 neutral countries-the Armenians in these detention camps have died by thousands, while many more have
 been ruthlessly butchered by Turkish soldiers. The girls and young women of Armenia have been the victims of the soldiery. In justice to the Turkish
 soldiers and officers, it must be said

THE1FATHER OF DICTIONARIES E. ShO SaSsA

Tomorrow will be the 162nd anni7 versary of the publication of Samuel Johnson's great dictionary of the Eng Ilish language-a work which brought order out of the chaos of 8 tongue which is now spoken by 160,000.000 people, Johnson had already won fame as a poet and essayist, but he had gained little money from his liter ary purusit.> It was in the hope of adding to his pitiful fortune that he embarked, in 1747, upon his project for a new and complete Dictionary of the English Language" The Eng fish dictionaries then in existence were poor things, not always trust worthy, and containing comparatively few words. At the beginning Johnson did not fully realize the immenslty of the task which he had assigneQ him self, but, having once undertaken 1t, he carried it through with a thor oughness which must ever command admiration. The Earl of Chesterfield, who was ambitious to gain reputa- tion as a patron of learning, became interested in the plan. which was dedicated to him, but he soon with drew his support. Five publishing houses were concerned in the contract for the publication of the dictionary, for which Johnson was to receive l. 575 pounds, Johnson paying out of this small sum all the incidental ex- pense of preparing the work for the press Assisted by six copyists he de- voted much of his time for the fol- lowing seven years to the preparation of the dictionary, relying chiefly on his own original labors, gathering his materials from the vast unharvested fields of English literature. The dic- tionary contained 5O,000 words. only about one-tenth the number found in the latest compilations of this charac- ter, but the fundamental excellences of all modern English dictionaries1 have their clements in Johnson's work. Johnson's dictionary gained him lasting fame as the founder of English Photography, but it brought no relief to his finances.

THE HOUSE
 OF MORGAN

Among the great financial dynas- ties of America the house or MOT gan now looms large. The present
 head of that house has been 1nstru- mental in raising vast sums TOT the Allies in the present war, and mas H.
 nanced many of their, biggest deals for supplies in the, markets or the United States. The grandfather of the present J. IP Morgan, was Junfus spencer MOT gan, and it was he who laid the foun- dation for the family fortune. This Is the 1O4th anniversary of the birth of the first of the financially celebrat- ed Morgans, and next Tuesday will be the eightieth anniversary or the
 birth of his son, the late John Pier pont Morgan, who carried to comple- tion the great financial structure com lrmenced by his father.
 Junius Spencer Morgan was born in
 West Springfield, Mass, April IA, ISIS, and in his youth worked as g. clerk in a dry goods store. At the age of twenty-one he went to New York and found employment in a bank but after eighteen months he returned to New England, and be- came junior partner in dry goods shop in Hartford. It was at this period, when he was twenty-three years old that he married Juliet Pier point. Their first born child, John Pierpont Morgan was born in Hart ford. on April IT, 1887. The couple had three daughters and one other son. the latter dying in childhood.
 After some years in Hartford, Jun jus Spencer Morgan removed to Bos- ton,. where he became partner in one of. the largest dry goods estab-, lishments in America. In 1854 he went to Europe and became partner Ein the banking house of George Pea body & Company in London. This firm was later changed to J. $. Mor- gan & Co. The first John Pierpont Morgan was educated at the Univer- sity of Gottingen.. and began his bank ing career in 1857, at the age of twen- ty, and was later made a partner. in his fathers firm In 1861 he mar rfed Amelia Sturges, who died the following year. In 1865 he married Frances Louise Tracy, and of this un- ion the present John Pierpont Morgan was born in 1867, being the only son. He has three sisters. MT. Morgan married Jane Norton Crew in 1890, and is the father of two sons and two daughters.
 Junius Spencer Morgan died at Monte Carlo in April, 1890. Although he had been generous benefactor to o<vaIious educational, religious and. charitable organizations, he left a large fortune to his children Able financier that he was, Junius Spencer Morgan was by no means the equal of his son, the late J. P. Morgan, who ranks as perhaps the ablest of orga- nizers of great monied interests and trust combinations. The financial genius of the late J. F. Morgan, as we'll as his name, appears to have been inherited by the present chief Lof the House of Morgan.

STEAMSHIP TITANIC

It will be five years tonight since the giant steamship Titanic, speeding through the waters off the treacher- ous Newfoundland coast, struck an iceberg, and received wounds which in a few hours sent her to the bot tom, with nearly 1,600 of her passen- gers and crew. This greatest tragedy in the history of the seas.s in which the blind forces of nature destroyed the proudest vessel ever built by man, aroused the sympathy of the whole world. Who could have imagined, in that period of universal sorrow fol- lowing the going down of the Titanic, that within few short years hun dreds of other peaceful passenger and cargo ships would be sunk by human agencies?

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at storrs, are not yet believed to have reached the zenith of production and yet they are so close to the top that only small gains can now be expected during the next month or two. In the twenty-third week there was a total yield of 4,432 or only about 30 eggs more than for the previous week.
 Francis F. Lincoln's pen of White Leghorns from Mt. Carmel, Conn.,, woh first place for the week by laying 56 eggs. Michigan Poultry Farm s Barred Rocks from Lansing, Mich, and George w. Harris pen of Rhode Island Reds from Westport, Ct., tied for second place with 55 eggs each. Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks of North Attleboro, Mass, tied for, third place with a Kansas Pen of White Leghorns entered by George H. Stan nard of Ottawa, each yielding 54 eggs. Merritt M. Clark's Barred Rocks from Brookfield Centre, Conn.,, Laurel Hill Farms Reds from Bridgeton, R. l., Obed G. Knights White Orpingtons also from Bridgeton, R. l., and Bush kill Poultry Farms White Leghorns from Bushkill, Pa., all tied with 53 eggs each
 It is, of course, understood that all of the eggs in the laying contest are infertile but even with hens that are mated there are always some unfer- tilized eggs. These will amount to from 5 to 15 per cent. of the total number produced. Many incubator operators make no use of the infer tile eggs that are candled out after the machine has been running for six or seven days This ought not to be true at any time and especially in year when food products should be rigidly conserved and when eggs are selling for virtually 50 per cent more than they did. a year ago at this time. The infertile eggs from the incuba- tor are perfectly good for use on ones own table. If incubation is done on large scale where there are hum dreds or even thousands of such in- fertile eggs they can be sold at baker ies and ought to bring at least fif- teen cents dozen. The infertile i'm cubator egg is probably better than either the cold stored egg or the egg that has been preserved in water glass.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
