Domestic Cat Distinct Species
The Egyptian cat seemed to hno n
good claim to the hnnnr of being the
ancestor of the domestic cat both on
account of Its tapering tnll nnd size
In which It bears n great similarity to
tho domestic cat But peculiarities
vhlch were discovered In Its dentition
were sufllclent to remove Its claim So
It seems best to consider the domes
tic cat a distinct species
Balancing Trade
Where one country exports exten
sively to another nnd buys nothing
from It the checks and drafts given In
payment do not balance and It be
comes necessary to ship gold or other
wise readjust accounts This is ex
pensive nnd makes It necessary to pay
a premium in exchungc Tills pre
mium Is virtually an addition to prices
paid When It becomes too high pur
chases will bo inade in other markets
Thus will trade bo lost unless It Is
balanced

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES
IIves of thousands of Armenian
children already huve been saved by
the Near Knst Hellef taking over tho
Armenian orphanages according to de
tailed reports which have Just reached
the headquarters of thit organization
These Institutions hnd been run by the
Armenluns since the beginning of tho
war to care for the children whose
parents hnd been murdered by tho
Turk llecause of lack of food
clothing and medicine tho death rate
among tho children In these Institu
tions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty u day lu some cases
When Armenian funds became In
adequate the Near Kast Itellef took
charge of the orphanage Since thnt
time the denth rate has been greatly
reduced Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition
It Is estimated by persons who have
made n survey of Armenia that 120000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and cure
Near Knst Hellef Is the only organi
zation now opeintlng In Western sla
and It Is making an appeal to save
these Chiijtlun children
