immediately brought the alleged crime
tc the attention of the government and
demanded action by Turkey. Presi
dent Roosevelt has ordered the Eu
ropean squadron, under command of
Admiral Cotton, to proceed immediate
ly to Beirut and bo in readiness to sup
port any demand made by the United
States on Turkey on account of the
assassination of Mr. Magelssen. Mr.
Magelssen was thirty years of ago and
was appointed to his post from Min
nesota. On August 28, according to a
cablegram from Constantinople, it
transpired that the report that Mr.
Magelssen was killed is incorrect An
attempt upon his life was made, but
the bullets did not touch the consul
and the error in stating that- ho had
been killed '.aroco. from a mistake in a
cipher telegram. In some quarters it
is believed that the attempt upon the
life of the consul Is but part of a whole
plan contemplating the murder of all
the foreign consuls in countries under
Turkish rule. The president has an
nounced that no change will be made
in the plan to send' the southern Eu
ropean squadron to Beirut, however,
'tut the fleet will proceed to that quarter.

On August 27 the first election fought
en the fiscal question raised by Colon

at Argyllshire, England, and resulted
in a victory for the liberal element
In this connection an interesting an
nouncement is m.de by the Daily Mail

to be as follows: A duty of 2 to 3
shillings on wheat, heavier duty on
flour, small duties on meat, eggs and

It is by change of diet that one can
get fairly on the road to health after
years of sickness, for most ill health
comes from improper feeding.
What a boon it is to shake off coffee
sickness and nervous headaches as
come can if determined upon.
One woman accomplished it in this
way: "A few years ago I suffered
terribly from sick and nervous head
aches being frequently confined to my
bed two or three days at a time, the
attacks coming on from one to four
times in every month. I tried medi
cines of all kinds, but could get no
real relief until my parents finally per
suaded me to quit the use of coffee al
together and try Postum Food Coffee.
It had come to a point where I was
so utterly miserable that I was willing
to., make any reasonable trial.
A person couldn't believe what fol
lowed, but the results speak for themr
selves;. jthat was two and a half years
ago and I have never tasted coffee
since. I use Postum not only for its
delicious flavor, but more for tin good
it has done me. All of my troubles
disappeared as if by magic and I have
for the past two years been doing all
the work for my famil of six. I sel
dom have even a slight headache and
I would not give up my Postum and

Recently Czar Nicholas of Russia
issued an imperial ukase, placing the
Amur district and the Kwang Tung
province under General Alexieff, who
Is to assume the title of imperial lieu
tenant of these territories. In this de
cree th czar explains the reason for
talcing this step in the government of
the provinces and expresses the hope
that a peaceful development of Russia
and her provinces may take place.
It appears that strong measures are
being taken by Turkey to suppress the
Insurgent outbreak in Macedonia.
Great numbers of Turkish troops are
being hurried to Adrianople and oth
er centers of the disturbance, but the
Macedonians are being reinforced by
soldiers crossing into that country
from Bulgaria for the purpose of as
fisting them.

Proverbs oFa Brahmin (1793),
The first "step toward being wise
is to know that thou art ignorant.
As a veil addeth to beauty, so are
a man's virtues set off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon them.
This instant is thine; the next is
in the womb of futurity, and thou
knowest not what it may bring forth.
As the ostrich when pursued hideth
his head, but forgetteth his body, so
the fears of a coward expose him to
danger.
The heart of the envious man is
gall and bitterness. The success of
his neighbor breaketh his rest
Of much speaking cometh repent
ance, but in silence is safety.
Envy not the appearance of happi
ness in any man, for thou knowest not
his secret griefs.
He that committeth no evil hath
nothing to fear.
Consider, and forget not thine own
weakness, so shalt thou pardon the
failings in others.
Indulge not thyself in the passion
of anger; it is whetting a sword to
wound thine own breast
Mix kindness with reproof and rea-
authority. Four-Track
