A despatch from Constantinople, says:
—Further details which have just been
received here from Rharput shed a
clearer light upon the massacre of Chris-
tians and the destruction of the Ameri-
cartaalasionlbuildings there on November
10th. 11 is now stated that a false
'report was circulated at Kharput some.
days previous to the outbreak to the
effect that the American missionaries
were in possession of arms which they
were distributing to the Christians in
order to prepare the latter for an at-
tack upon the Ifussubnans. Dr. Her-
man M. Barnum, when informect of
the reports in circulation, and in order
to allay the excitement among the
Moslems, went personally to the Gov-
ernor of Rharput and gave up to
that official five revolvers owned by
;the American missionaries, Dr. Bar-
num and his associates also induced
the other Christians of Sharputto
surrender their arms to the Turkish
authorities, hoping thereby to avert
the threatened. uprising of the bus-
sulintin population. But the surren-
<bit of the arnas 104 no effect upon
the excited population, showing that

protection would be accorded to the

worthy fact that not a single Moslem

an egg beaten in wine. At 2 o'clock
she has luncheon, which is the heav-
iest meal of the day. This consists of

et or /1, glass of dry champagne. She

"The Little Princess' First Dance "
is the title of the latest photograpb of
the little German Princess Augusta Vie-

little girl is a great pet with her royal
papa and materna and her six brothers,
and one may readily believe she is in
sad danger of being spoiled.
Whether the little princess will be
subjeot to the same Spartan -like me-
thods in which the young princes are
being trained remains to be seen.

New Accomplishments of Helen
Keller.
Helen Keller, the marvelous deaf and.
blind girl of whom everyone has heard
so much, is now completing her educa-
tion in a private school for the deaf
in New York City. Her latest accom-
plishment is learning to sing. Placing
her fingers on the throat of a singer,
she is able to follow notes covering two
octaves, with her own voice. The only
difference between her voice and that
of a normal person is in its resonant
quality. So aoutely developed has her
sense of touch become, that, by placing
her hand upon the frame of a piano,
she can distinctly distinguish between
two notes not more than half a tone
apart.
Owing to the special efforts which
have been made to educate her, the
mind of Helen Seller is far more fine-
ly developed than that of ordinary girls.
The development of ber senses of taste
and smell are remarkable. So acute
is her sense of smell that she is able
to detect the presence in a room of &n-
ether person, no matter how noiseless
his entrance may have been. But
more wonderful than all is her sense
of touch. So fine has this become that
by placing her hand on the face of a
visitor she is able to detect shades of
emotion which the normal human eye
absolutely fails to distinguish. In
other words, her sense of touch is de-
veloped to such an exquisite sensitive-
ness that it forms a better eye for her
than yours or mine for us. And what
is more, she forms judgments of char-
acter by this " touch sight."
The Unhappy Kittens.
The man was carrying a cage in each
hand. They were handsome canary
bird cages. in one were two canaries—
golden, happy canaries. They chirped
as gayly going along the street as if
they hung in a sunny window with
plants.
In the other cage were two striped
kittens—the most miserable, unhappy
looking kittens I ever saw. They hud-
dled together in the bottom of the cage
and their expression plainly said, " Did
you ever see anything so ridiculous as
two kittens shut up in canary bird
cages? " Whatever the reason—I won-
der what it was 6—for putting them 10
a, cage, they were the most unhappy
looking kittens I ever saw. They were
too unhappy even to cry.

Garner and the Monkeys.
Prof, Garner writes from Africa that
he is busy at work interviewing the
ehimpanzees and expects to return to
America early in '96. Primitive Africa
impresses lum as a wonderful problem.
Some of his thoughts about it run thus:
"Here aro found the largest monkeys
and the smallast. men. The chimpanzees
have musical instruments around which
they hold a dance, while there are tribes
of savages so low and brutal as never
to have invented a emairal instrument.
Monkey tribes, gorilla tribes and chira-
anzee tribes are organized. They have
eaders and governors. They seam to
have a rude system of government of
the forest."

Sick Headeebe is a malady which
makes its appearance most frequently
in women. The attack often begins
in the morning, upon awakening,
after a night of restlessness or Leavy
sleep; though it is especially wont
to occur in connection with emotional
disturbances, such as excitement,
fright or mental strein. The pain is
usually localized, being in one or
the other, more frequently the left
side of the head. It is generally
accompanied by great disturbance of
the stomach, when light pains the
ayes; noises otherwise unnoticed
indiet punishmeut ; odors excite
naueeit. From the fact that people
with strong nerves are never troubled
