Swiss Mountain Vultures.
In tho canton ot ri a wo mu was
iiviug in 1851 who hatl been carried
off by a lammergeier when a baby ; at
Humlwyl, in the canton of Appenzell,
a child was carried off in sight of its
parents. On the Siiberalp a vulture
attacked a littlo boy who was Avatca-
ing sheep, seated on a rock, and had
time to knock him over the edge o"
the cliff before tho shepherds could
drive the bird away. At MurreD,
above the Valley of Lauter’orunnen, a
vulture carried tvu infant to an inac¬
cessible rock opposite the village and
devoured it. Portions of the baby’s
red frock lay there for some time.
Another child, two years old, but very
small and feeble, Avas lost Avnen out
with her sister. The remains of the
body were afterward found on a rock,
separated from that where the child
avus last seen by a jirecipice; a vulturo
must havo taken it there, either dead
or living.
But the most striking instance of
tho child-devouring tendency of these
birds occurred iu the Bernese Ooei-
iand. A child three years old, called
Aune Zurbuchen, Avas taken up to the
high alp at hay-making time, and left
asleep while the father fetched ft load
of bay. He returned to find the child
gone. At the same time another
peasant, called Henri Michel, avus
coming up the mountain by a rough
path, Avheu he heard a child cry. At
the same time he saw a lammergeier
rise and sail away. Running up to
the place, ho found the tittle girl, un¬
hurt except for wounds iu the arm and
left hand, Avhere the bird had clutched
her. She had lost her socks, shoes
and cap while being transported by
the bird, the distance traversed being
about 350 yards. The facts were all
entered iu the parish archives of the
villago of Habkerein; and the girl,
who lived to be an old woman, was
always known as “Geier Anni.”—Tne
Spectator.
When Railroads Were Young.
They tell a good story about the
Chicago and Alton at tho time when
the company was so poor that they
oould pay their men only once in five
or six months. The men stuck to tne
road, however, because they had noth¬
ing better in the avav of a vocation iu
sight. Governor Mathews was then
President of the road, and one day a
big, strapping fellow who had been
tamping ties for four months went
down to Bloomington, and, hunting
up Mathews, showed his shoes, which
were completely worn out, and ad*
dressed him as follows:
“Governor, I must have some
money, as I can’t work without shoes.
I need other things, but Avould try to
get along if I had a pair of boots.”
The Governor looked at the man’s
half-naked feet aud th?n spoke
gruffly
“dotvlong have you been working
on the road?”
“Seven months altogether, and on
the section five months,” was the an¬
swer.
“Well, sir,” SRid the President, “you
will have to give up your job. We
have no money, and I am about to
issue orders that hereafter no man
must be be hired who does not possess
a new pair of boots.”
The big feliojr left in despair, and
went back to work again, and after
that no one went to the Governor after
money with the excuse that he needed
new boots. —Pittsburg Post.

not abomination put enough red wine into her cup of

is this the only time she has promised re-

she would stop her butcher !03 and the inter-
ternational and hemispheric farce has been
enacted the of believing what, she says, when all
past ought to persuade us that she is
only pausing in her atrocities to put Na-
tious off the track and than resume the work
of death
In 1820 Turkey in treaty with Russia prom-
ised to alleviate the condition of Christians,
but the promise was broken. In 1810 tho
thon Sultan promised protection of life and
property without reference to religion, and
the promise was broken. In 1844, at the de-
mand of anEuglish minister plenipotentiary,
the Sultan declared after the public execu-
tion of an Armenian at Constantinople
that no such death penalty should again be
inflicted, and the promise whs broken. In
1850, at the demand of foreign Nations, the
1’urkish Government promised protection to

that promise has been broken. In 1873, at
the memorable treaty of Berlin, Turkey
promised m part religious of the liberty Ottoman to all Empire, her subjects and
the every
promise was broken. Not oace in ail the
centuries has the Turkish Government kept
her promise of mercy. Bo far from any im-
provoment, the condition of the Armenians
has become worse and worse year by year,
and all the promises the Turkish Govern-
ment now makes are only a gaining of time
by which she is making preparation for the
complete extermination of Christianity from
her borders.
tal Why, after all the National and continen-
and hemispheric lying on the part of the
Turkish Government, do not the warships of
Europe ride up as close as is possible to the
palaces aeoureed of Constantinople and blow that
Government to atoms? In the
name of the eternal God, let the nuisance of
the ages be wiped off the face of the earth!
Down to the perdition from which it smoked
up sink Mohammedanism! Between these
outbreaks of massacre the Armenians suffer
in silence ivronga that are seldom, if ever,
repeated. They are taxed heavily for the
“the mere humiliation privilege of living, tax.” and They the tax is called

anssaw a wrong committed and one Mo-
hamrnedan was present the testimony of the
one Mohammedan would b3 taken and tha
testimony of the fifty Armenians remote.!—
in other words, the solemn oath of a thou-
sand Armenians would not be strong enough
to overthrow the perjury of one Mohamme-
dan. A professor Avas condemded to death
for translating the English “Book ot Com-
Elans mon Prayer” into Turkish. Seventeen Anne-

if the Turkish Government would grant me

A said the Turkish Govern-
ment wished to know to what points in
Armenia I desired to go with that relief. In
our reply four cities ware named, one of
thorn the scene of what had been the chief
massacre. A cablegram came from Constau-
tinople saying that I had better send the
money to the Turkish Government’s mixed
commission, and they would distribute it.

Mr. Charles S. Patterson, tho pub¬
lisher of Newspaperdom, says that it
is not often that ho gets so enthusi¬
ast:,; as lie does over RipansTabules.
Almost Avich tho regularity of elock-
Avotk ho used to feel, at a out eleven
o’clock, that something had gone
wrong with his breakfast; especially
was this true if ho had hal a restless
night, as is no uncommon thing
with head-workers. “My stomach,”
said Mr. Tattorson, “is under tho
standard as lo strength, aud it8oem3
at these times to act only indiffer¬
ently, and finally to stop. Clouds
come before my vision and a slight
nausea is felt. Then I reach out for
my Ripans. (Years oi tho sort of
thing related havo made mo know
the symptoms as Aved as my name.)
Down goes one of the blessed little
concentrated boons, and in a few
minutes the visual clouds lift, dis¬
comfort passes away, stomach
apparently resumes operations, and
at 12.00 or 1 o'clock I go out for my
usual rather hearty luncheon—all in
delightful contrast Avith my former
practically ruined afternoons—that
I sought to escape by fasting and
various doses.”
