It would appear that at length a

consists of powder from the bark of a

grows only on the mountains that sep

Chinese province of Laos. It is be

ia the leper hospital of the colony of
Trinidad, so much so that the Eag

troduce its use in the governmeut hos

The remedy was first bronght to the
attention of Europe by the Catholic

The bratality of the Turks has been
a oy word iu Christendom for nearly
cars, As far back as the four
teenta century the Mohammedans
were famed thn):lghont the world as
brutal murderers and assassins. Not
withstandiag the rapid progress that
civilization has made sinco that time
they have steadily coutinned to dis
play the same characteristics which
belonged to them in the dark ages
That the murderous spirit of the Turk
Las not abated in the least is shown
Ly the record of the past century. In
1821 Dbetween 40,000 and 50,000
Greeks were massacred by these
bloodthirsty infidels, while in
1843 no less than 10,000 de
fenccless Armenians fell a prey to
the desolating sword of the Tuarkish
smpire. In 1850 this record was still
fariber iucrcased by the murder of
£,900 Syrians, and again in 1876 by
the massacre of 16,000 Bulgarians
Since 1894 the lives of as many as
100,000 Armenians have been ruthless
lestroyed, to say nothing of the
maasacres whicl have taken place on
the island of Crete. In the light of
ihese figures it is not at all surprising
‘o the Atlanta Constitution that Mr,
Gladstone should be so earnest in his
ienunciation of the Turks, and that

" THE LAST ANSWER,
Dying eyes, what do ye see?—
I see the love that holdeth me;
The look that, lighting, leans to bless,
The little daily tenderness;
Smiles without woris; the sweet sure sign
Whiech says in silence, I am thine.
Returning feet met at the door;—
Aias, for those which run no more!
Ah me, for lips that whispered, ‘“Dear!
Earth is all heaven, for thou art here.”
I see a figure like a stone;
The house where one sits on alone.
O God, have pity! for I'see
The desolated needing me.
- Epitor
Dying eyes, what do ye see?-.
I see the Love that taketh me.
Loud in the breakers, soit in song,
Ever the summons calleth strong.
I see upon an unknown strand
The signal of a distant Hand.
The leaf is light, the bud is out,
Floods of May colors float about.
The pulse leaps high, the heart is young,
The sweetest chimes are yet unrung,
My bravest deeds I never did;
And, struggling with the coffin-lid,
Hopes, dreams, and joys and bappy tears
Start, throbbing, to live down the years,
Almighty! Listen! lam dust.
Yet spirit am I; so I trust.
Let come what may, of life cr death,
I trust Thee with my sinking breath, .
I trust Thee, though I see Thee not
In heaven or earth, or any spot.
I trust Thee till I shall know why
There’s one to live and one to die.
I trust Thee till Thyself shall prove
Thee Lord of life and death and love.

THROUGH TEMPTATION.
their books to the
enjoyment of the freedom of
the long summer vacation, Eveline
left the dusty city behind, and
went coursing through the green
fields and shadowy woodlends, ever
rippling streamsand along the margins
of crystal lakes with a speed that was
delightfully exhiliarating. She drank
deep draughts of the balmy breeze
that fanned her temples through the
open car window, each inhalation giv
ing a new impetus to her blood, which
had grown sluggish in the tainted city
air, 8o that when she was set down at
the little village station there was a
rare bloom in her usually pale cheeks
and an unwonted sparkle in her eyes.
It was a pleasant drive to the pretty
villa of Mr. Farnsworth, which, while
it enjoyed all the advantages of the
country, was yet not wholly cut off
from the bustling world. Eveline
found in her uncle a gentleman of old
time hospitality, who kept open
house, where his friends came and
went at their pleasure. Roy Carlton
was one of the many courtiers who
were in attendance where Cornie
reigned a somewhat coquettish queen.
From the first Roy attached himself
to Eveline, and in the round of enjoy
ment that made up each day, the lines
of care went out of her face, and it re
sumed its wonted bloom. Baut as the
weeks passed a change came over the
intercourse of the two. Whatever it
was, it fonnd its manifestation in Roy.
If 1t came under Eveline’s observa
tion, she gave no outward sign but
kept quietly about her accustomed
pursuits,
But there was one quick to notice
any alteration in Roy. It was Cornie.
She had coquetted with him, as with
her other admirers, and, until Eve~
line’s arrival, had been conscious of no
particular preference for him. Per
haps 1t was the tranquility of unquee
tioned possession. At any rate, when
tche saw him devote himself to her
cousin she experienced a vague dis
satisfaction, which gradually waxed
into anxiety, and then stood forth in
unmistakable solors, She knew that
Roy was something more to her than
the others whom she used for her
amusement.
So matters went on until the time
when Eveline must terminate her
visit. Cornie watched Roy’s growing
uneasiness with deeper and déeper
anxiety. She felt that Eveline’s ap
proiching departure would bring
watters to a crisis, and contemplating
the probable issue, she would lie on
her bed with tightly eclosed Ilide,
through which the tears would force
their way, trying to conquer the dull
pain at her heart.
The day preceding Eveline's depar
ture, Cornie was almost ill; but the
evening came and passed, and nothing
in Eveline warranted the supposition
that she had given Roy a second
thought more than in the way of
friendship. Cornie had watched them
during the evening. She had seen
Roy follow Eveline with a wistfal
look, when he supposed himself unob
served. There had been more ner
vousness in his manner, perhaps, when
he took her hand for the last time,
and a strange reluctance to meet her
calm, steady gaze; but nothing to in
dicate that anything unusual had
passed between them. As for Eveline
she gave no sign of agitation. If the
color in her cheeks was unusually
high, there was no more than could be
uaturally accounted for by the pleas
urable excitement of the evening.
That night Cornie’s hopesrose. The
next morning she was up bright and
early, and went singing about the
house with a lighter heart than she
head borne for many a day. Eveline,
on the contrary, passed the entire
morning in bed with a bad headache.
At 10 o'clock the door bell rang.
Cornie ran‘down to find a boy on the
threshold, who asked for Miss Mon-
Tort, and being informed of her indis
position, he left a letter with Cornie
to be delivered to her.
One glance at the superscription,
and Cornie’s heart sunk like lead.
With faltering steps she ascended the
stairs, but passed by Eveline’s door
and entered her own chamber. She
could not go to her cousin with her
secret written on her face. She would
deliver it at dinner.
She locked the door and sat down,
|HEN the pupils had
hailed with a shout
their release from
the restraints of the
schoolroom, and.
tripped home with
with the letter in her lap. Bitter
thoughts were swelling in her heart.
She bad a better right to him—the
right of priority. He had been hers,
and Eveline had come and robbed her
of him. Then the hot tears gathered
slowly in her eyes, hung for a moment
on her long lashes, and then dropped
one by one down her cheeks. She
looked at the letter. It was a small
thing to occasion her such keen an
guish. She followed the writing with
her eye. What would not she have
given if those loops and curves were
only arranged so as to fashion her
name. Then she turned the envelope
in her hand, With a start she saw
that it had been imperfectly sealed
and that the flap had become loosened.
A fierce flush leaped to her cheek
with the first impnulee that followed
this discovery, and she rose, and eross
ing the room with a quick step, locked
the letter in a burean drawer. But
the thought occured again and again.
That open letter haunted her. Her
mind traced in conjecture its strue
ture—all the epithets of endearment
—all the protestations of love. The
longer she dwelt on it the more har
rowing became her thoughts. lln
sheer desperation she determined to
deliver the letter immediately. She
need not go to Eveline, and thus ex
pose her secret, but could send it by a
servant.
Again the letter was in her haad,
but instead of following out her inten
tion, she began to walk the room with
a harried step and quivering frame.
As the moth flits about the flame, so
did Cornie coquet with the tempter.
There was a growing longing to per
use those words of endearment to her
rival. It was conquering every senti
ment of delicacy and honor. With a
swift motion she drew the letier from
its envelope, and retting her teeth
hard, began to read.
She took an almost fierce delight in
thus aungmenting her pain. Uncon
eciously she crumpled the paper in
her convulsive grasp. Her heart
raised in her throat until it choked
her. The hot tears blinded her eyes.
Suddenly she started and looked at the
letter aghast. A teardrop had fallen
upon the fair page and left an un
sightly blotch. With a swift brush of
her dress she sought to remove the
tell-tale moisture ; but it was too late;
the mischief was done; she only
blurred the writing more. Further
more the sheet that had been smooth
was now all ecrampled.
What was to bedone? Cornie stood
pale and trembling. Then a sen
tence of the letter recurred to her
mind, &
“If I am not indifferent to you, a
word will detain me; but if I do not
hear from you earlier, I shall know
the significance of your silence, and
the three o’clock train will bear me
from the scene of my happiness and
disappointment, to find peace of mind
as best I can.”
She sought the passage again and
read it several times. Then she folded
up the letter and replaced it in the
envelope with a strange steadincss.
Having locked it in a drawer she went
down stairs; and nothing but the un
usual pallor of her face, and an oceca
sional nervous start told that Cornie
Farnsworth had yielded to the tempt
er, and committed a most {reacherous
and cruel act.
‘“‘Roy, do you want to know?”
Roy looked up at his mother with
an expression of surprised interroga
tion.
‘““Why, what a strange question,” he
eaid. *‘l suppose we should all like
to know.”
““Well, then, you are the cause, and
the only cause.”
Roy looked blank.
“1? What have Ito do with Cor
nie’s ill health!”
“‘Stupid man! Is it so strange that,
when young people are thrown con
stantly together, one should get think
ing too much of the other, unless the
feeling be mutual? There, now I've
told you. And, Roy, youare in horor
bound to respect her.”
“Why, mother mine, I have never
said & word to Cornie other than any
of her gentlemen—"
“Now! now! Words! Has the thing
to be demonsirated like a mathemati
cal proposition? What have you been
doing at her very apronstring ever
since you were big enough to walk
alone? And ycu know, my son,
there’s not a girl in town that will
compare with Cornie.”
““That’s 0,” said Ross,thoughtfully.
“I know that you will act an hon
orable pari in this matter, Roy.”
With that, Mrs. Carlton judiciously
dropped the subject, and ber words
bore fruit. Roy got to thinking over
their life—Cornie’s and his—darinz
the year of his disappointment. She
was certainly very gentle and woman
ly. Now that his attention was called
to it he remembered a kinl of wistial
sadness in her air, the significance of
which he had never before asked him
self. There was nothing of jealousy
in is, nor even of reproach. She was
certainly a very nice young lady.
And, come to think of it, he had a
vague idea of some time asking her to
be his wife before he saw Eveline. His
mother was doubtless right; he had
been a very constant attendant upon
Cornie.
When he saw the look of happiness
that lighted up Cornie’s {ace when hé
asked her to be his wife—with what
perfect content and trust her head
rested on his shoulder—he tried to per
suade himself that he was a happy
man. His feelings were not -just
what—on that night when he wrote
with so much passion to Eveline—he
had expected those of an accepted
lover would be; but doubtless he was
as happy as most young men in his
situation.
Several weeks after their bethothal
they were in Cornie’s boudoir. She
WAS Tummaging in & work-box coa-
{aining old letters and papers, broken
jewelry, bits of ribbon, oily papers in
closing locks of hair, and the thou
sand and one mementoes that every
young lady bas somewhere among her
belongings.
Saddenly a letter slipped from her
lap to the floor. Roy picked it up,
glancing carelessly at the superscrip
tion. A swift flush overspread his
face at sight of the address. Cornie’s
eye had caught the writing, too. She
sprang to her feet, the box falling to
the floor with a crash. One look at
Roy’s face, and with a piercing seream
she fell in a swoon.
Roy saw her in careful hands and
then left the house with the letter in
his possession. In his own room he
drew the letter from its envelope, and
again traced the lines he had written
a year before. Why had Cornie fainted
upon his discovery of the letter in her
possession? How dilshe come by it
at 2ll? He was very near the truth;
and if any confirmation was needed, it
was afforded by a note which was
brought to him. It read:
“Roy, I give youup. You are free.
Don’t think too barshly of me. Yon
can never know my temptation. Fare
well. CorNiE.”
He lcoked at the tremulous writing,
so different from Cornie’s graceful
chirography, and Shought of the an
guish of the writer. Ought he to ex
cept this sacrifice? Her fault had been
grevious, but who of us is perfect?
And then it was all for love for him.
What man is invalaezable to flattery?
Roy feit all his resentment melt away,
but a voice said :
““Has not Eveliue a right to know
your feelings toward her, and to elect
whether she will accept your love or
not?”
He wrote to Cornie kindly, yetin a
way that enced all that had been be
tween them, and the night train bore
him to the metropolie.
The following morning he stood in
Evelize's presence, at her home. His
heart leaped as he noted the color
come into her face, and the trembling
of her band. When he was alone with
her he placed the leiter in her lap,
saying:
*Jive ine, I wrote this a year ago. I
now deliver it in person, and await
your answer.”
He went to the window and stood
with his back toward her, drumming
nervously on the pane. Eveline took
up the letter and read it through. Roy
heard a sound of stifled sobbing, and,
turning, saw her with her face in her
lap. He went to her and seated him
self at her side, and five minutes af
terwards he was the most [oolishly
bhappy man in all that great city.
The Grea'est Cailfish.
“Philadelphia is the greatest catfish
market in the world,” =aid Mr, L. H.
Cogswell at the Eleventh street wharf
lust Tuesday. Two colored men were
busily engaged beheading and skin
ning a big pile of big catfish. They
were remsrkably adept in the opera
tion. While one, armed with & sharp
knife, would cut off the head of a fish
and slit it open, the other wounld pick
up the fish so treated and with a psir
of" mippers catch the skin deftly and
pull it off, A Star reporter was watch
ing the interesting operation and
asked Mr. Cogswell where he found
the demand for such a lot of eatfish.
“*We dispose of avery large number
of the fish in this cityv, but when we
have a surplus supply we ship it direect
to Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the
greatest catfish market in the world.
In the districts inhkabited largely by
the poor venders go about the streets
with buckets on their heads selling
tho fish, and their ery is somewhat
similar to the familiar ‘co-al’ which we
bear so frequently in Washington in
necighborhoods eimilarly populated.
Catlish are cooked in a variety of ways,
but made into a ckowder is the most
popular form in which they are served.
Nothing is more palatable than a well
prepared catfish chowder, and a great
wany people prefer a chowder made
from the heads alone. You will notice
that those two cclored men who are
clcaning the fish preserve a number
of the largest heads. They have regu
lar customers for the heads, which
they will string in bunches and sell for
probably as much as th 2 same number
of fish would bring.,
“Yes,” countinuel Mr. Cogswell,
““those two fellows are very expert at
skinning catfish. The best points in
the vicinity of Washicgton for catch
ing catfich are at Colonial Beach and
Muathias Foini. The fall season in the
fishing basiness is now open. The
varieties that will be handled are rock
fish and white perch, both of which
are very large and very plentiful this
vear. Any surplus that we have above
the home demand in these varieties is
shipped in ice to New York and Phila
deiphia, but catfish are only shipped
to the latter city.”— Washington Star,
Quzer Preject of a Barber.
““A barber in my town has discov
ered a new method of making the time
pass pleasantly for his customers,”
eaid L. A. Warren, of Owasso, Mich.,
at the Ebbitt. ‘‘He used to be agreat
talker, but read so many jokes about
barbers talking to their customers
that he quit and put up a notice,
‘Please don’t talk to the barber, as he
Jdon't want to talk when at work.’
Some of his patrons did not like this
innovation, and the barber hit upon a
novel plan of making the time pass
pleasantly while his customers were
being shaved. He has three little girls,
all of whom are excellent elocutionists
for their ages. He has them take
tnros of an hour each at a time recit
ing stirring, pathetic and hamorous
vorses. When no customers are in
the shop they can amnuse themselves as
they pleace, but when a patron enters,
the barber says, ‘Recite for the gen
tleman, Annie,’ and Annie gives him
‘Sheridan’s Ride,” ‘The Polish Boy,’
or some dther favorite.”—Washington
