The Rev William W. Meriam,'amis. sionary of the American Board, eta - tamed at Philipopolis, was returning on July 9, 1862, to that city from Constantinople, where he had been to attend the annual meeting of the mission. Ile was in a waggon, there being no railroads in those days, and was accompanied by his wife and family and two, or three native at,- tendants. At noon of that day Mr, Mariam reached the town of Bermanli, where he had luncheon and then set out on bis journey, The country was Infest- ed with brigands, but Mr. Meriaun had often traversed in safety and bad no fear ; notwithstanding the fact that bands of robbers had been seen in the vicinity. The September issue of the Mte- sionary herald of 1862 has a graphic account of what followed, written iw Mr. Crane, of ,Adrianople. Mr. Crane says "They were informed of danger. Several suspicious persons—armed horsemen—had just passed through the place. The viilat;crs, alarmed al the sight and the strange questions and actions of the horsemen, en- deavored to diseua,le lir. IAeriam from proceeding; but, as there were others willing to start, they eppre- bonded no danger. They had gone but a few miles when five mounted 1.1R1GANDS ATTACKED THEM. `The Government guards ran on the first appearance of the robbers. This left them defenceless, except so far as they might hope by their numbers or any demonstration of re- sistance intimidate nc t o unu t to the bandits. "One of the robbers, dismounting, seized the horses of Mr. Mornings waggon, which was in the van. ,lir, Merhun drew his revolver and warn- ed the man, who instantly dropped the bridle, while the driver, an ener- getic Mussulman, whipped up his horses to escape. They sprang for- ward; and Mr. Menem, thinking as- cetic certain, turned and remarked to his wife, 'Thank God, my pistol has saved us."Jhe robbers, however, snow commenced firing in (prick sac -1 cession at the waggon. A ball at length struck one of the horses and he reeled and fell. "The brigands still firing, ITr. Mer- Sam, fearing for his wife and family, got up.and was in the eat of alight -f ing when he fell pierced by two balls he his right side. One of the two robbers then sprang forward and stamped on his face and head." This brutal murder aroused great commotion, and the entire machinery of diplomatic inflneuce was moved to avenge it. The Turkish Government acted with what for it was prompt- ness and made many arrests, • Al- though Mt. Crane in his report men- tioned only two robbers, yet three were sentenced to death, in October, 1862. Their names were Buisnm, laauuizan and Khaleem, and their execution expiated the death of Mr. Meriam. ANOTIHER MISSIONARY SLAIN. In March of the sit= year Jackson G. Coiling, a missionary, at Adana, in Asia Minor, was killed by robbers near Alexatndi•otta. On March le Mr. Coiling was journeying from Adana to .Aleppo, when he was set upon by highwaymen in the mountains above Alexandretta and shot in the side. Two days later he died in Alexan- dretta, where ho was taken by his servants, the robbers having wrap - ed. .A rather picturesque incident is connected with this murder. It chanced that at the time there were ee one American and two Italian gun- boats in the harbor at Alexandretta, The American commander was in- tensely aroused over the ninth, and sent a peremptory demand to the lo- cal . officials that the murderers be caught and punished. He did not get much satisfaction out of them, and decided on more stringent Mee - AMTS. The Italian commander sympathies fel with him enth'el;pia,nd .,he. sem laid nut a plan of action which epecdiiy brought the governor of the province to his senses, They wasted no further tine on argument. They simply cleared ship for action con. aterlatinrel tr their guna on the town, Then they'wailed.

As soon as the neck vertebrae beeom°s severed the eapaeity to feel pain !s annulled, 01 course there will be severe coeval- sions in the body of the bird; but the means of conveying sensation to the brain ' having snapped asunder there ; peed be no fear of the bird having pain, and these eonvolsione are simply the result of continued nerve action. The novice who intends to adopt this Plan should learn the actual operation from an expert poultryman, The modus operandl is —Take the bird by the legs in the left hand, catching the extreme ends of the. wings In the same hand to prevent the fowl fluttering ; then grip the bird's head with the drat and second fingers of the other hand the palm of the hand .l?ging upper- most, and place the tbumb on top of the bead, the back- of the fowl being upwards. The legs should bo held against the left hip of the op- erator and the head laid against the right thigh, near the knee. The fowl .should then be quickly and firmly extended, at the sametime pressing the thumb into the neck and bending the head suddenly back- wards, so that the neck is dislocated just below. the junction with the head, and death inimediately ensues. Another way to hold the bird, the dislocation being the : same, le as follows :—Place the fowl with its breast resting on the left hand, the head being In the right, with .fingers well under jaws. A toss out of the left hand, and instant downward strode from the right, as one smacks a whip on horseback, generally pro- duces a fatal "pop" on the first revolution, If not the rotations must be continued, and the down stroke increased in severity. Tho wings should be tied, as 'tbeir flapping neutralises the effort, and when tied the weight of the fowl helps the operator. The bird should be held by the feet a second or two directly after the vertical column Is broken, and the wings so be allowed free action so as to permit the blood to drain to the head and neck. This is of great importance, for if the blood be not thoroughly drained • from the body the flesh will present a dark appearance, which is un- pleasant, and detracts from its value in the market. The blood is drained from the carcass, but the juiciness of the flesh is retained. This method of dislocation is the one most adopted in this country, and is without doubt the cleanest and most humane. There is a knack in the operation, but it is the one that is easily acquired, es- pecially if the operator have a strong wrist. Too 510105 strength is not needed, or the head nil] come ell in the operator's hand. Such a thing wall not occur, however, if the gers be opened directly the neck goes." When the operation is pro- perly performed the head and neck can be felt more than an inch apart, everything but the skin being se- vered. PHORT.FM Ole TM COUNTRY BOY !Such is made of the temptations of city life, but country life is by no means the quint, innocent pastoral Idyl that come persons appear to think it is. Trashy and demoralizing reading is sown broadcast in one way or another ; the "hired man," who ban seen something of the world fills the ears of his youthful listeners with tales that would horrify the careful parent, and taito it all around Satan is about as busy in the country as in the city ; more 'so sometimes. It is the citizens of the country towns who need awakening to the vital necessity of making due provision for the recreation of the boys before it is too 'cite. There ma,v be no saloons in the town or vfllege, but there are always idle loafers, whose conversation is the reverse of edifying and whose in- fluence is had. Boys rob orchards, damage property, and get into va- rious kinds of mischief because their exuberance of youthful spirits must find a vent somehow, somewhere, .and if there are no legitimate channels for, it will overflow, where it hap- pens to do so carryir'g mischief along with it. The boy who is con- tented to stay at home night after night, read, study, yr play games with his brothers and sisters, and go to bed at 9 o'clock is the exceptional boy. He may do all this from ne- cessity if parental dlsripline is firm enough, but he will usually slip out at the first opportunity if he is a real human boy and not bookworm an invalid or a prig.

You always say surely there has been misman- agement, for you verily believe that cows, calves or borses eon be taught to oat almost everything that le good for them, even out of a swill bucket. As important as a good supply of good, wholesome feed it is equally as important to have good caro .and judicious management. WEAR AND. NERVOUS, MAGISTRATE DAUPHINE'S DE- PLORABLE CONDITION. Despite Medical Treatment, He Be- came Weaker and Weaker, Until Pio Could Scarcely Sign His Frame. Mr, James Dauphine,. of ]Gast Bridgewater, or as he is better known as .ex -Councillor liaupnrne, bas been a sick man for the past three years. Tiis health gradually forsook him, until by degrees he was forced to give up doing all kinds of work. Ile consulted a physician and took -a large quantity of medicine, but It did him no good and he grad- ually grew weaker and weaker. His duties as a magistrate necessitated his doing much writing, and being an excellent penman in his days of good health it Came very hard to him when his hand shook so much lie could scarcely keep it steady enough to sign his name. His daugh- ter, seeing his deplorable condition,, advised him to •try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after a bit of coax- ing ho was induced to try them. There was no noticeable change in his condition until he had started taking the third box, From that on the improvement was rapid. Ho grew stronger every day, his appe- tite increased, the 'weariness and las- situde departed from his limbs, some of the lustre of his youth re- turned to his eye, and by the time five boxes were used, Mr. Dauphine felt a new man. The weight of years and the burden of sickness have rolled from his shoulders, his hands are now steady and his pen can run as rapidly as ever. l3e attributes his euro to the ministration of a good wile and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Dauphine is 73 years of age, but feels as young anal vigorous as he did years ago, and is ever ready to praise in the warmest terms the health -giving qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the friend of the weak and ailing. They surpass all other medicines in their tonic, strengthening qualities, and make weak and aespondent people bright, active and healthy. These pills are sold by all dealers in medi- cine. or can be had by mail, post- paid, at 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. ANTS ON r"HORSEBACIC" A Trench Explorer Tells of the Ants of Siam. Not long ago a French explorer, 31. Charles Meissen in travelling through Siam, observed a species of small' grey ants which were new to him. These ants were much engaged in travelling ; they lived in damp places and went in troops. To his surprise be noticed among them from timeto time an ocoa;sion- al ant, which was much larger than the others, and moved at a much swifter rate, and each of these large ants, Monsieur Meissen saw, always carried one of the grey .ants on its back. This discovery led him to. lir movements watcht C closely. m Y.

People Are Eneour- aged as a Class But Not as individuals, To an. English observer nothing is more striking than the attitude of the German.Government tdware the working population of the . empire. Its leaders, from the Emperor down, are unequalled for the lively intelli- gence witat which they recognize con- ditions and for the promptitude with which they act, It is perfectly plain to them that the hope of Germany lies with the manufactories ; there- fore the industrial classes neifst be trained,. protected, and. encouraged. One who follows public discussion of the subject, for instance, in the Reichstag, is curiously impressed with the attitude of insensibility to- ward the individual desires or hope of the workman. As a matt 111 workman is not to be eonsi.dered fo an instant, but as an implement t carve a way for Germany to indus- trial and commercial greatness, t colonies, and a vast navy, he is very precious, indeed. Everything i done, therefore, that can be done to make this implement'keener, bright- er, and more efficient. The individual isnothing, the workman everything.

The read was built to Ain -Safra because that town occu- pies one of the numerous breaches in the southern mountain ranges.lead- ing to the Sahara and is therefore favorably ,situated for the extension of a railroad into the desert. Ain- Safra is 8,570 feet above the sea and Iies on the Saharan slope, its oasis being watered by a perennial s'stream which flows east to tato Wady e Names, whose waters flow .straight ✓ south into the Sahara. o Tho railroad, therefore, has been pushed eastward along the valley of o the stream that gives life to Ain- Safra; having reached the Wady s Names track -laying has been extended sou war t rough its valley. Sta- tions have been established at the, Arab towns ^of Tiut, Moghrar and Diemen bou Resg, where' all trains stop. Six more stations will be es- tablished along the route. Tile road is to push some hundreds of miles southwest to the oasis of Tuat, which is now in the possession of the French. Several post offices have already been established i oases on the way to Tuat.

He must not say what he thinks freely, as the Englishman relieves his mind in Hyde Park, or the American assails the administration from the political stump, for if he talks too much about how he is being governed he is likely to be clapped in jail as a dis- turber of the peace. He may not even spend his money wholly as ho pleases. Instead of allowing a man. to have his wages and to do what he pleases -with them, giving him the self-discipline of learning to save and plan against the rainy day, the Ger- man Government says to its work- men : "You must be frogai whether you want to or not."Consequently tens of thousands of workmen must - buy little cards, paste stamps on them for every week, and turn them. over to the police at the end of every year. These cards INSURE THE WORKMAN against sickness and accident, and secures his relief during old age, so that if anything befalls a workman he does not become a charge .on the State 0r on the employer—who, in- deed, pays part of the premium for the insurance: This has made pov- erty almost unknown, and, consider- ed from the point of view of a finan- cial and Government enterprise, it has been vast and successful beyond praise. One in every twenty 'per sons in the empire Inas been support- ed at some time by these insurance funds. In 1897 there was.. a reserve fund of over $202,500,000, and the amount of insurance paid to the sick was over $20,00.0,000, to those who had suffered acciclents' over $15,000,1 000, and to the aged and feeble over $14,000,000. Moreover, there are many other aid and pension systems, both State and private, many work- men even being compelled to insure in a death fund, so that their..fun. erel expenses may be paid and they may be laid away in the little green emetcry with cast-iron crosses, pu- mps c0ntaining .choir tintype at the head of their graves. And so year after year the work- man goes on sticking stamps—and the police see that he never fails fn this respect -having no responsibility for the future nor for the welfare of his family, )mowing that, whatever happens, the funds will support. He depends absolutely upon the great, powerful, dim Government above him to take car° of him and shield him from harm. He is not especially interested in ORGANIZING TRADE 'UNIONS,, though sometimes he does indulge in the fury of a strike, He buys lottery tickets regularly from the lottery, which is also a Government enter- prise, and nearly atl that is left goes for beer and cheap shows.
