A British official report contains i:he following moment of the second mas- sacre of Armenians at Oorfa:—" Then took place the burning of Coria Ar- menian cathedral, capable of holding 8,000 persons. The priests administered the sacrament, and the last sacrament It proved to be, to 1,800 souls. These remained in the cathedral over night, and in the morning were joined by ewe" eral hundreds more, who sought the protection of a building they consider- ed safe from mob violence. Three thou- sand individuals were congregated in the edifice when the mob attacked it. They (the Turks) at first firedin through the windows, then smashed in the iron doors, and proceeded to mas- sacre all those, mostly men, who ware on the ground floor, having thus dis- posed of the men, and having removed some of the younger women, they rifled the church treasure, shrines and or- naments, to the extent of some 517,000 destroying the pictures and relics, mock- ingly calling on Christ now to prove himself a greater prophet than Me- hemet. Having collected a quantity of bedding and the church matting, they floured some thirty cans of kerosene on le, as also on the dead bodies lying about, and then set fire to the whole. The gallery beams and the wooden framework soon caught fire. Whereup- on, blocking up the staircases leading to the gallery, which was of inflam- mable materials, they left the mass of struggling human beings to become the prey of the flames." THE SOUDAN. The Flestittatiott ter the napeilition—To Scoria kit:motuti. by C'hristian's. It is the belief et the British War Office autborities that the Nile expe- tion will lie at leleartoum by Christmas, and that by the end of next spring, it will be at Egypt's southern bound- ary on the White Nile. The recent vic- tory of Egyptian troops over the der- vishes at Firket increases the expec- tations of the English military circles, the members of which think that the expedition will sweep the Soudan with- out risk .of disaster. Cooler calculators, even within the Ministry itself, are con- sidering the, possibility of the strain which will be made on men and mon- ey. The recent decision of the mixed tribunal at Cairo against the expendi- ture of moneys for the pur,poso of the expedition by the Commission of the Public Debt has excited considerable discussion. The decision will be ap- pealed from. The Indian contingent of 4,200 men which is to occupy Souakim will cost £550,090 a month for pay and maintenance alone. The additional ex- pense of transportation, munitions, etc., cannot accurately be estimated, The Viceroy of India has protested against placing the financial burden of the ex- pedition on the Indian exchequer. It must finally fall on the English treas- ury. If the English tax payers get out of this enterprise under an expen- diture of £10,000,000 they will be lucky. Lord Salisbury can, however, rely up- on a majority in the Cabinet and in the House o€ Commons in favor of a war rote. THE TURKS ARE POOR PAY. G agilak Artier ne to Constantinople Wind Their Wears. The British Ambassador at Constan- tinople is just now engaged in the deli- cate and difficult operation of extrac- ting money from the Turkish Govern- ment, which is about equivalent to drawing blood from a stone. It seems that. the Porte, being in want of skill- ed artisans to teach its own workm n in the arsenal, induced a number of i nglishmeu to go out to enter its service. The wages offered were suffi- ciently liberal to tempt men of the highest skill, but it proved to be paper liberality, as might indeed have been expected, The wages of most of the men are five or six months in arrears, and one of them, who went out last Au- gust, has not received a cent since, and has to live on cnerity. The Ambassa- dor las taken the liberty of suggesting to he Porte that English workingmen are not accustomed to, and are consti- tutionally unfitted to understand, Turk- ish methods of finance, but the leashes are equally unable to comprehend how ii common toiler can expeot to receive what is ane biro.

The stranger had shot him twice. After shooting Presi- dent Wyckoff the man tried to kill himself by sending a bullet into bis own aladoienen.

Clarke pre- sented a letter to President Wyckoifi written on a letter -head of the hotel Marlboro rgha. It contained a demand for $0,000, and threatened Mr. Wy- ckoff with death unless he furnished the money. The letter also. stated that the .bearer hued a partner outside the bank who bad Mr. Wyckoff "covered" and if lie made any alarm or refused to give the money a stink of dyna- mite would be thrcwvn into the bank that would blolw up the building. Presi- dent Wyckoff, after reading the let- ter, refused Clarke the money, andtlie latter shot him. The police believe Clarke is insane. A't the New York Hospital it was said Clarke's condition was mora serious then President Wyc- koff's. The latter, it was stated might recover, although his injuries are very serious, The shooting was done with a 38 -calibre revolver. THE KAING YIN PLOT. A 4letaeve 'Motor E'taisesil the Trouble by a )lalieious story—)ibevlonartes Vorred 10 Pies nor 'their, Liva4. Mail advices from Tokio, state that a terrible famine is raging in Kwangsi Province, China. The province re- mained wholly without rain through- out the spring, though abundant rain fell during nearly two months in the neighboring province. The Chinese say the people in their distress have re- sorted to killing children and selling their flesh for a few cents a pound. The Protestant mission premises at Kiang, Yin were attacked and looted by a Chinese mob on May 12. A most dastardly plot was concocted against the missionaries. A ,Chinese doctor who believed be had some cause of complaint in connection with a lease df the premises, collected a number of roughs and caused placards to be posted, saying that the missionaries had two children hidden under their house. The doctor, followed by the crowd, repaired to the mission and demanded to be allowed to search the house. With considerable difficulty and not without a show of firearms, the mob was held in check until the district magistrate arrived. He search- ed the place and found nothing. The doctor insisted, however, that the children were hidden in a back yard, and in being ordered to look for them he dug into a heap of shavings and rubbish, and pulled out the body of an eighteen months old infant, that bad been dead for fifteen or twenty days, Thereupon the crowd fell into a fortunately fury of excitement, ant the mission- ar'e:, among whom were f o- y no ladies had to fly for their lives,get- ting out over a back fence and through a friendly neighbor's house. They were pursued for more than a mile, taut eventually succeeded in reaching the forts, where military instructors gave them refuge. Meanwhile the mob looted and dis- mantled the missiin premises. The matter has bean placed in the hands of the United Stases Consul in Shing l Shang. AN APE'S STRATEGY FOR A MEAL. In the Transvaal some of the fruit gardens are much exposed to the ra- vages of large synocephalic apes, and a good guard has to be kept, or the results of long labor would be lost. in some of these gardens gray cer- tain shrubs which are much affected by wasps, the insects liking to at- tach thereto their nests. These wasps, though small, have a very venomous sting. Baboons have often been no- ticed eyeing with envious glances the fast ripening fruit in one certain gar - clan, but feared to gather for fear of attracting the esseults of wasps. One morning the farmer heard terrible cries, and with the aid ot a gond field glass he witnessed the following tra- gedy: A large, venerable baboon, chief of the band, was catching the younger apes and pitching them into the shrubs wbercon hung the wasps' nests. This he repeated again and again, in spite of the most piteous cries from his vic- tims. Of course the wasps assumed the defensive in swarms. During this partof the performance the old brute quietly fed on the fruit, deign- ing occasionally to throw fragmen- tary* remains to some female and young baboons a little further cif.

Heart Disease Exiled—Over Fifty Members o the House of Com- mons Tells or the Virtues of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal rowder. The name of Dr. Agnew is one that deserves to rank with Jenner, Pasteur and Roetgen in the good done human- ity. Dreaded, as it is by everyone heart disease has no terrors where Dr. Ag- new's Cure has become known. Mrs. Roadhouse, of Willscroft, Ont., has said —" Cold sweat would stand out in great beads upon my face so intense were the attacks of heart disease. I tried many remedies but my life seemed fated un- til Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart be- came known to me and to -day I know nothing of the terrors of this trouble." It relieves instantly, and saves many lives daily. It has been said that everyone in Canada sufferers, to some extent, from catarrh. Whether the trouble is in the air, or where, it is a satisfaction to know that in Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder is the medicine that gives re- lief in ten minutes, and has cured some of the worst cases, where deafness and other troubles have followed the dis- ease. Geo. E. Casey, Michael Adams, Donald W. Davis, A. Fairbairn, C. F. Ferguson, W. H. Bennett, and all told some fifty members of the House of Commons have borne testimony to the effectiveness of this remedy.

Remedies readily available and easily y applied are not so often recommended by our medical mentors that we can afford to overlook the discovery of the "celebrated Belgian physician" who has just proclaimed that yawning is one of the healthiest and most beneficial of bodily functions, The more we yawn, it appears the more our lungs and re- spiratory muscles e-spiratorymuscics become lonified"and the letter we are aaogeth,r. It is not the least merit of this discovery that, like necessity in the Shakspearean pro- verb, it makes vile things—or, at any rate; unwelcome th'ngs—precious.' The so^Lety of bores, the preaching of the clerically unfit, the speeches ot parlia- mentary windbags and platform buf- foons, the nivel of the advertising hill - topper, anti the poetry of the maggot - brained "decadent," all assume a high sanitary' value in the light of this no - told?. pronoun_ement, which, amongoth- er results, ought to have a marked in- fluence upon the demand for p'aces in the strangers' gallery of the House, of Commons. Three 0— eat Remedies Sure Specifies for Kidney, Rheu- matic and Stomach Diseases. These remedies are not a cure-all for all the ills that flesh is heir to. The great South American Kidney, Cure does not cure rheumatism, nor 1s it a specific for indigestion, but no remedy, pills or powders, will give relief in the most distressing cases of kidney trouble as will South American Kmdney Cure. Mr. D, J. Locke,' of Sherbrooke, Que., suffered for three. years from kidney trouble, expending in that time 5100 on doctor's medicines. He got no relief until he used South American Kidney Care, and four bottles he says, effect- ed a permanent cure. When a remedy is needed for rheu- matism, it is very much needed—anti quickly. William Pegg, of Noricood, Ont., was nearly doubted up with rheu- matism and suffered intensely, This was in 1893, He took three bottles of South American Rheumatic Cure, and now says: '1' have had neither aches nor pains from rheumatism since that time." When disease effects the digestive or- gans and general debility takes hold of the system, these cannot be removed unless the medicine taken gets at the root of the trouble. Synth American Nervine owes its success to the fact that it works directly en the novo centres, anti removing the trouble there it rids the system of disease. Banker John Boyer, of Rinrardine, who suffered from indigestion for yeti's, was permanent- ly cured by the use of South American Nervine. lie says;—" X have no hesi- tation in ,proclaiming the virtues of this great remedy."
