DECLINED THE 1.1111I8TICE TERMS ON WHICH THE TURKS WILL END THE WAR. No Truth In the Report of the Macedonian Insurrection—The Greek Army Pulling Reek, MACEDONIAN INSURRECTION. The Turkish Government declares there its no truth in the report that 4,000 Macedonian insurgents have cap- tured the pass forming a part of the principal line of communication with the Turkish gamy, that they are ad- vanoing towards Elessoma, and are preparing to unite their forces with the bands under Daveli, Zermas, and other Macedonian chiefs. According to the Porte all these statements are abso- lutely without foundation. GREEK ARMY FALLING BACK. The Greek arzny in Epirus has been compelled to fa/1 back upon Arta, but continues to oectipy a few positions be- yond the bridge.. The Greek losses at Griboro were 558 killed and wounded, 33 being officers, It is stated that the Government has ordered the forces in Thealy and in Epirus to remain strictly on the defensive. THE INDEMNITY. The sum of £16,000,000 (Turkish) is mentioned, in Constantinople as the amount of the indemnity which Tur- key will dema.nd from Greece, Placards have been posted in the Stamboul quarter protesting against the shedding of Mussulman blood, on the ground that the sacrifices impos- ed upon Turkey by the war are out of proportion to the advantages she can gain. DECLINED THE ARMISTICE. The Porte has replied officially to the note of the powers, and declines to agree to an armistice until the fol- lowing conditions are accepted:—The annexation of Thessaly, an indemnity of £10,000,000 (Turkish), and the abolie tion of the capitulation,"The Porte 1 proposes that plenipotentiaries of the powers should meet at Pharsalos to discuss the terms of peace, and de- clares that if these conditions are de- clinedadvtahneceTur. kish army will continue to The demand for the annexation of The.waly is based upon the fact that I the province 'Wan originally ceded to Greece on the advice of the powers witb . the object of ending brigandage and t Greek incursions in Ottoman territory, the Porte believing at the time that the cession would attain these objects, but th,e recent inciarsions 0 Gonek bands and the events immediately preceding the war have proved to the amixagY.

While Emperor William's telegram to President Faure expressingsympathy with the families of the victims of the , Paris fire made an excellent impression, he made a false step in contributing ten! thousand francs to the relief fund, as his so-called patronage is greatly resented. It is stated in Cape Town that Panel sident Krager's reply to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain's note. is defiant in tone, and that instead of xepealing the len- migration Act he wants to eubmit to arbitration wfaether the measure is ultra vires of the Lond;on convention.

The climate which covered this world was, of course somewhat different from the present, says Lippincott's- It was colder and the precipitation wag great- er, but the existence of certain plants shows that a comparatively temperate Man:tate prevailed to the south of the ice; yet it was anomalous. Animals which loved the cold and those of a torrid land were curiously mingled. Troops of mastodons wandered over the land and gorged themselves on the soft twigs of spruce and fir. The slow, lumbering, weary rhinoceros wallow- ed in the muddy streams and lakes. Moose and reindeer ranged the woods; perhaps the Indian story of the great white moose is a survival transmitted from palaeolithic days, when this ani- mal was actually larger than now. Droves of horses and oxen roamed the plains ; but they were slain for food, for not yet had. man learned the value of beasts of burden. Early man coad have set at naught the Chinese legend that the mam- moth belonged to neither world and died if he breathed the outer air, for only too often he must have met these giants of old, protected from the cold by a covering of long, black hair and thick red wool. All this time while the great floods were pouring seaward and gigantic ani- mals were stalking up and down the land, it. is likely that men were liv- ing on the banks of our rivers and lakes, judging from the skeletons found in Europe, palasolithic man was short of stature and hacl e low, retreating fore- head; it is supposed that he had a yel- lowish skin, which was covered with coarse hair much like the Abate of Yezo. He was strong in body) but he had the diminutive mind of a eland. Wild and fierce, he knew little of pity or of love; he was lower in savagery than any we know, he was onlya-hunter, living on animals he had slain and; the roots and nuts he could gather. At war, With his neighbor and at war with himself, his life was racked with fears and tor- ments, and his mind filled with debasiiii- ing superstitions, whch cvilzaton bail -hardly yet wholly eliminated, To all appearances the struggle—if it can be given such a name—between Turkey and Greene is over. For over a -week the Turks, flushed with victory, all their old savage de- light in battle awakened, bave delayed to give the armistice whieh the world —except the Turks and the German Emperar—desires, and allege put a cruelly extreme rice upon any relent- ing towards their beaten foes. Apperently it bias been Russia that bon at last intervened. A partial mob- ilization of the Bulgarian army, whieb numbers not far short of 200,000 men and is decidedly formidable, Sias taken place, and the Sultan has abated his pretensions to independent action. And it is undeniable that Russia guides Bul- garia. The bold a Russia tepon Turkey is overwhelming. The Black Sea is a Russian lake, and the 100,000 soldiers whom Russia is said to have at and near Odessa could sail down tbe coast and choose their point at which to land, from Constantinaple to the boundary of Bulgaria. The three strong Russian ships in the Mediterranean could oper- ate on the coast railway which connects Constantinople iwith Salonica, and so with Edhem Pasha. The 200,000 Bul- garians would keep thousands of 'Turks busy along the slopes of the Rhodope Mountains, and so fight Russia's bat- tles Turkey may well pause when Russia calmly hints that Gree,ce has been tor- tured long enough. The calamitous straggle which has lasted for just a month, divides itself into four well -marked stages. War was declared on April 17, the Saturday following Good Friday, and fighting in the Thessalian mountains began at once. For a week the outnum- bered and ill-prepared Greeks fought bravely; then bad work on' the part of officers and lack of discipline on the part of the men led to the panic which lost Larissa on Friday, April 24. Than came a pause, while the Turks established themselves at Larissa and took breath, the feast of Bairan com- ing in opportunely. The Greeks took post at Pharsalos and reorganized. The air was full of rumors' of intervention. On Tuesday, May 3, the Turks advanc- ed again. The Greeks showed better generalship, but the odds were against them, and on Thursday or Friday they had to evacuate Pharsalos. ; Then came this perplexing pause, the Greeks willing at last to accept the mediation of Europe, the Turks setting too high a price upon a cessation of the war and. ;driving on their men, till Domokos fell on Saturday last. , Then Russia, satisfied with Greece's three defeat, raised her finger and the war seems' to hare stopped. LORD ROSEBERRY'S WITTICISM. now Ile Got Rid of a Troublesome Visitor. During Lord Rosebery's term as For- eign Secretary in Mr. Gladstone's last administration, he was often annoyed by an elderly female who paid him daily visits to get his opinion on mat- ters of no importance to him whatever. Finally, becoming exasperated at the woman, be gave the doorkeepers orders not to admit her under' any circum- stances. However, not a day passed that she did not make an effort to gain a hearing, and on an unusually late vis- it happened to meet the secretary just as he was about to enter MS carriage. "Levi Rosebery," said she breathless- ly, "I must see you on a most import- ant subject, and at once." "Very well, madam," said the urbane Secretary of State, holding open the door of the vehicle ,for her, "I beg of you to get in." , Delighted to be invited to drive with so important a personage; the talka- tive lady jumped into the carriage, Rosebery gently closing the door on her, and before she could expostulate, she heard him saying to the coachman; "Take the lady wherever she wishes to go, James, and then home." Looking out of the window, the now irate occupant saw her late victim step-. ping into a oab. STYLES IN PARLOR STOVES. nua Evolution or the deli -Feeder -41112h Art and low Weed." The modern self-feeding parlor stove, wbich also was origisa,ally made cylin- dricali n form, is now almost without exception made square. The self -feed- er commended itself at pace upon its intreduction and it soon came into wide use. Its utility was everywhere re- o ognized. It was not then, however, so perfect in detail as it has since been made. The magazin.e was at firet made larger thaa was really necessary, even far the purpose 02 sue/a a stove. In a large size self -feeder, standing pretty high generally, the opening into the snagazine at the top, through which the coal was poured, was so high that it became quite a task to lift a scuttle of coal up to it. This was IPA so mush .noticed at the very out- set, When. people were more impressed by other features, but it speedily be- came a consideration of importance. It was said me the time that in feeding some of the staves a stepladder -was needed. It certainly did require a con- siderable degree of exertion. The ornamentation of the stove at that time consieted a mouldings and bands, and perhaps of wreaths ha low relief, cast upon, tbe upper part of the cylinder, looped around the top, and the stove was often sunniouinted with an ornamental fu.rn. All this made a handsolme stove, as stoves went, but it was felt that something better might be produeed in, the way a style and finish, and that it was practically essential that something should he done to lower the feed. These two re- quisites to the highest development and greater success of the self-feeding parlor stove were formulated itt the phase "hign arc and low feed," once familiar in, the, trade. The demands were promptly met. To bring the feed. tower the whole store was lowered. wherever it could be done, a 'trifle being taken here and there; and the ,grate was lowereda little. the Imagazine was redueed in size where that could be done and still leave it of ample size to meet essential requiremnets. The effect of these changes was to bring, the feed down to where it is to -day, within convenient reach, and. the general lowering of the structure of the stave was in keeping also with the new outward shape that was adopted, square instead of round, the fire pot, however, remaining round. .At first in the 'ornamentation of stoves of the new design tiles were used freely end some of the parts of the stoves or their trimmings were nickel plated. Tiles are still used to a consid- erable extent ; nickel plating is more freely used the.n at first, and bronze is now used, also. "While the stoves are, in outline and effect, square, it does not follow that they are flat -sided. Some are recessed, some have swell sides. They are made in various modi- fications and shape and in a great var- iety of styles of finish as to ornamen- tation in tiles and nickel plating, and. ttt a great variety of ornaanental pat- terns reproduced ni the castings there - selves. Many of these stoves are tasteful as well as elaborate.

A horde of pirates boarded the steam- er Walla Walla, just now in port at San Francisco, when she was 15 miles off Cape Mendocino.. There were about 200 of them, and they swarmed over the vessel, laying about them to right and left, and plunging their long swords into everything that seemed of value. Their gorgeous plumage flut- tering about the deck made the ship seem like a bird fancier's shop,. for these pirates were a big nook of hum- ming birds with a stiff land breeze be- hind them. They had burst sudden- ly out of a dense fog, and alighted on the vessel at dusk on Friday. The birds seemed so nearly dead, with hunger and fatigue that they had lost all fear of human beings. They had probably been driven off shore by the land breeze and lost in the fog. Some of them perched on the first solid arti- cle they saw, gave two or three little gasps, and then tumbled over dead. Some went straight for the heads of two or three women passengers who wore flowers in their hats, a.nd began buzzing about them a industriously as if the flowers contained nectar. One flew into the ear of Mr. W. S. McFar- land, and lodged there .ies tightly that it could not get out without assistance. Third Mate Hogan cauerht one in his ear and one on his mustache, and neither bird lost a moment before it began to drill for food. The Captain and the passengers queckly did all they could to care for the half starved. creatures They brought out pans of water and bread crumbs and lumps of sugar, and the birds made haste to fill themselves. Some of them ate until they were so full that they rolled over on their sides and lay on the deck, blinking happily at all around them. Lumps of sugar soaked in water were their greatest de- light, but these they would' not eat un- less the lumps were held in some one's half-closed hand. Captain Wallace held a lump of sugar in his mouth and two of the birds buzzed about his face and suaked at the sugar greedily. The Captain, kep# 20 of the birdi s n his cabin over night, and many of the pas- sengers had a dozen each in their rooms, When the vessel was close to Pt. Reyes the next day most of the birds were liberated, and as soon as they looked about and saw land many flew directlyto it But about 50 did not care to risk even so short a journey over the ocean wave, and decided to stick to the ship. But the sea voyage, following the hardships and exhaus- tion of the day before, was too much for the frail little things, and they gradu- ally drooped and died. When the Walla, Walla came into port, the Cap- tain still had four humming birds alive, and the passengers had as Many more, - RUSSIAN INDUSTRY. Industrial Progress °Mite Country Since the Moscow Exhibition or 1882. The British CInsul at Moscow, in a report on the Nijni-Novgorod exhibi- tion, describes the industrial progress of Russia since the Moscow exhibition of 1882 as very great. The progress made In textiles is marvelous, and many of the silk and print exhibits equaled any- thing that Lyons or Manohester could produce. The machinery section was full of good work, but agricultural ma- ehinery left much to be desired. In the mines section there were some wonder- ful pieces of iron work which would attract' attention ba any country; but although the constant remark was that every object was purely Russian, Brit- ish and German foremen are largely employed in the iron works, Frenchmen in the silk and many of the print works, while British subjects have still very much to do with the cotton mills. The development of the natural wealth of the country ie even greater than that of the manufactures. The production of coal has trebled in the last fifteen years. Cotton planting prospers in Tash- kend and. Erevan, and the reanlin Of the new plantations of the Southern Caucasus are excellent. Costly experi- ments near .Baku, have produced a Rus- sian tea, which is shown with much pride, and Gen. Annenkoff is planting American, vines in Turkestan; tobacco is also being grown from American seed near Samaricand. Generally speaking every branch of industry has improved except agriculture, which grows worse year by year. Mr. Medburst thinks that Great .Britain should still be able to supply Russia with portable engines, high pressure, steam boilers, steam threshing machinery, heavy iron plows, bicycles and machine tools. Calico and kindred stuffs appear to be made sufficiently well at prices which are so lbw that they must af feet _British trade; but he thinlks some years must elapse before Russia can eoustruct satisfactory spinning machin- ery itt sufficient, quantities to affect British makers. Ea saw nothing in the hardware section to alarm our manu- facturers of high-class goods, and, gen- erally, he came to the conclusion that the trade in cheap goods is slipping away from us, but where high-class art- icles of the best materials are required it is admitted that the laritish stand first, except in Manchester goods. The Consul says that when England first permitted the export of spinning and weaving machinery in 1843, there were 350,000 spindles In all Russia, which pro- duce dyearly 5,600 tons of yarn. In 1895 there were 5,000,000 spindles and 200,000 looms at work, producing 161,300 tons of yarns and giving employ- ment to 400.000 hands. British and Ger- man foremen are being gradually re- placed by Russians, and attempts have been made—with very different re- sults so far—to supplant British mach- inery by that made in Russia. Efforts to provide her own raw material have been more fortunate. In 1883 the total value of cotton goods produced in Rua- sia was 427,790,000 and in 1802 es am- ounted to 38s470,000. The Russian silk trade has prospered .since 1875. The woolen industry is not so prosperous, The best Russian cloth is made by ;in English firm, settled near St. Peters- burg since 1841, which employs 2100 hands. ClneiteISMC903SILX411.,.

Be had been considered quilts a dandy ln his yofith, and the new fashions were none of thein so sraart as when he played the lady-killer, "about Bono's time." Be was vnry vain of hie tail, and often prided himself, in his weak, quav- ering voice, of being "the only geotle- man left that was dressed as a creel gentleman should be." His sole regaet was that he was obliged to have his hair braeded by others, when his own poor hands grew too 'feeble to perform the duty; but to the very last he al- ways chose his own particular tint of hear ribbon, a certain "correct" tahada af dark indigo blue. MUSIC A HAIR TONIC Pianists and violinists usually have hair in plenty, while those who play on brass horns are usually deficient in hissute adornment. These statements can easily be verified by observation of the inembexs of orchestras at theaters and MUSIC halls. Now the question has been taken up by European newspapers and seientists, and the cause of the phe- nomena is being sought after. Why the tones that come from a brass instru- ment should discourage hair any more than the ramie eveaved from strings is difficult to determine, but the Iseench 'scientists who am investigating the matter will perhaps find a solution. 'Music has tong been known to have the- rapeutic qualities and. is useful in many nervous dioceses, and now it seems that it may be useful as a hair tonic.
