Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles. The conversion to Chris tianity as a nation was due to the labors of St. Gregory who was called the Illurninator. In 302 A. D. he was consecrated as head of the Armenian Church. The head of the Armenian church is called the +fCatholicos.'' He resides in a monastery near Erivan.
 The late Charles A. Dana. brilliant
 editor of the New York Sun, in a conversation in 1894, maintained that Russia was responsible for the Ar nenian massacres. A revolutionary movement on the Nihilist plan had begun to gain adherents among the Armenians. The Kurds (the Armen- ian poIce) were charged with the suppression of the movement. With their customary brutality they went about the task. Turkish troops were sent to help them now down human
 flesh. A fearful slaughter occurred

THE ARK AND ARARAT.

On April 5, in 234s B. C., the Ark of Noah rested on Ararat.
 And where is "Ararat?" And why is it of special interest today?
 Mount Ararat, on which the Ark rested on that bright morning thous- ands of years ago, is in Armenia And the cry of Armenia fills the earth today.
 It is remarkable that a good many intelligent people are hay with re- gard to the typographical position of Armenia on the earth's surface, and yet that land is forming part of a very serious and grave Presidential message to the Powers this mo- ment- We have heard it asked, where IS tArmenia2 9 g Armenia is a country in the northeast of Asia Minor, bounded on the north by Ire bizond and Trans-Caucasia, on the south by Kurdistan, on the east by the Caspian Sea It consists of three sections; the West, Ezrerum and Di- arbekir, belongs to Turkey; the north. including Kars, Tiflis and Erivan. to Russia; and the southeast, to Persia. Armenia is mostly tab1e-land, with an average elevation of over 5000 feet, the eliminating point being Mount Ararat. Mount Ararat is 17,000 feet high.
 The most important towns are Van. Erivan, Ezerum, and Arabkir. In their native country the ArInenians follow the agricultural life, and pas tora1 pursuits. They dress like the Turks, but instead of the fez wear a tall fur cap. Carpets, shawls, rugs and similar articles are woven. Fruit, wine, and silk, and beautiful em- broideries are produced. Apart from Arn1anianS the inhabitants sist of. Kurds, Turks, Jews and Gyp- sies. Overrun by great invasions, the history of Armenia, on account of it's striking topographicaI position, has been one long shistory of bloodiest warfare.

way to the Aegan Sea, southward to Mesopotamia, Bagdad, and Persia. The name Armenia first appears in the 9th century, B. c. The country, previously, was known to the Assy- rians as f'Uartu''-the word, strangely enough, is identical with the Biblical word. "Ararat.'' It is still undeter- mined to what race the Armenians belong, whether to the Hittites or the Indo-Germans. The original home of the Armenians is unknown. Modern critics are in favor Of C1licla having been their birthplace.
 The fortunes of the Armenians have always been closely linked with those of greater empires-of the Medes, the Persians, Rome, Byzan- tium (Constantinople), Turkey.

But Armenia slowly decayed- Its last 'Eking' of the House of buslgnan (Cyprus) was taken prisoner in 1875 In 1904, the Persian Shah laid waste the land Armenia ceased to hold any position as a nation, and it's sub sequent history belongs to that of Persia, Turkey and Russia. But we will see in a, moment why Armenia's cry has a claim on the. Christian lands today.
 Within the last few decades the iuxtaposition of turbulent and bitter hostile Mohammedan and ArmenianS in the Turkish Empire has resulted in the continual persecution of the Armenians and in>3 distinctly organ ized attempts to exterminate them as a. people.

This Tells You How to Get
 Benefit of the Best Senna
Finest Grade of Egyptian Senna Leaves used in
 compounding Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin.

PROMINENT importers and
 wholesale dealers in crude
 drugs and medicinal herbs gathered from all parts of the world do not hesitate to say that the market for the better grades of medicinal herbs, roots, oils, etc., is practically confined to the lead- ing manufacturers of the so-caled package medicines, who buy only the very best, and that the manu- lecturers of Dr. CaldwelI's Syrup Pepsin are the largest users of the best grade of Egyptian senna leaves in the world.
 The potency of a tea brewed from senna leaves to relieve con- stipation has long been recognized, not only by the medical profes- sion, but by the public generally; in fact, senna has been known and used in medicine for more than five centuries. The cheaper grades of senna, such as are usu- ally sold at retail, have, however, a tendency to gripe and cramp
