The Turkish government declares there was no brutality in the Kurd's treatment of the Armenians. It is quite probable that the Turkish gov ernment would find nothing brutal in i football game. "Where is Robert Emmet buried? A discussion bearing on this question, so interesting to Irishmen, has been in progress in the Dublin papers for some time past. The romance surrounding the trial and execution of this young Irish pa triot ninety-one years ago is one of the dearest to the Irish heart. The eloquence of his reply to his judges when the death sentence was about to be passed on him is of the haunting kind. The passage in that address which gives it its absolutely unique character is his request that until his country takes its place among the na tions of the earth his tomb shall remain uninscribed. "Then, and not till then, let my epi taph be written." The discussion in question shows that those who should best be informed on "Even Robert Ilolmes.the lawyer who the subject.

The first box did not seem to benefit me, but I persevered, encouraged by the requests of my relatives. After beginning on the sec ond box, to my wonder, the noise at my right ear ceased entirely. I kept right on and the distress that I used to feel in my chest and arm"gr3dually disappeared.

A large, projecting crop is unnecessary, for some of the meat iest birds look fiat in the breast. It is necessary to have the quarters ex tremely broad., If they round out, then so much the better, because there is meat carried upon the breast bone. A deep keel bone to the breast well lined with muscle should round out and feel on the bird very much as a duck does when he is dressed.

"I visited the tomb at St. Miehan's." observed Dr. Emmet, "and know in general what is said concerning it. I deem it improbable that the body was taken there at the time, when like most city churchyards, there was a high wall around It. and a grave could not have been secured there without a formal permit.

The bath-houses make a brave show in a row of low brick buildings in the rear of the hotels, each little house with a big stone tank for a bath-tub. A New York Sun cor respondent says of them: I went out to see the baths on my first day in Kingston, and was sur prised to see a sign nailed against the wall bearing these words: "Gentlemen are requested not to use soap in the baths." "Why are gentlemen requested not to use soap in the baths?" I asked the hotel clerk, a dignified young woman of dark complexion. "Because it soils the water and makes it unpleasant for the next bather," she said. "But do your guests all bathe in the same water?" I asked. "Oh, yes," she replied. "You see the tanks are so large and the pipes are small. It takes all night to fill the tanks, and the water has to last all day."

In the course of the agreeably and wittily told story we find her placed in "a modern country-house" not alone, but among fashionable people, and exposed to temptations which fully nistify the maternal solicitude. And Molasses Stick to L's. "The word sugar,-' said Mr. Uiilleby, "is often usetl in the plural. For exam ple, we see on a sign, 'Sugars and mo lasses;' but we never use molasses in that form, though there are various kinds and grades of it as there are of sugar. I suspect that our use of the plural is dictated to a considerable ex tent by a desire to make the best possi ble showing of every tiling. Thus 'teas, coffees, sugars,' no doubt conveys in a general way an idea of a larger and more varied stock than tea, coffee and sugar would da Hut this effect would scarcely be produced by the plural af molasses.

In the character of Napoleon there was little room for the gentler passion, but Professor Sloane's Life of the Em peror, in The Century, brings out the one element of love there was in his early days his affection for Mile, du Colombier. That this could not have been very deep is shown by the fact that Napoleon himself laughed at it five years later. In his "Dialogue on Love" he says, "I, too, was once in love," and proceeds, after a few lines, to decry the sentiment as "harmful to mankind a something from which God would do well to emancipate it." IjuIj- Kosebery's Necklace. Some years ago an old Frenchwoman died in a poor part of Dublin, and her little effects were put up for auction. Among otheroddsand ends was a neck lace of dirty looking green stones, which did not attract much attention. However, a shrewd pair of Jews thought there might be "money in it" and de cided on purchasing, clubbing together '5 for the purpose. On taking it to ji well known jeweler he promptly offered i"l,f00, which sum they refused, and sold the necklace of purest emeralds for 7,000 in London, where Lord Kosebery on his marriage purchased it for something like .'0,000. The old Frenchwoman's mother had been attached to the court of France, and the emeralds had once formed part of the crown jewels. London Answers. To Whom It May Interest.

For a moment I suspected a trap, but it Avas for a moment only. Mrs. Stewart. 1 reflected, was a thorough lady. Besides had she been dishonest, the amount at stake was a mere lagatelle to one who could afford to live in such a house.

There were no chairs, except one a library chair near the massive table, but luxurious seats extended along three sides of the room. 1 threw myself into the chair and tried to push it back from the table. Botli alike refused to stir; they were screwed fast to the floor. 1 now awoke from my dream to the conviction that I4fras a well, not ex- ucfiy a,Solomon, :dthatl had been trapped. I rained blows upon the door with hands and feet, too. and, after a Jiort delay, the aforesaid butler appear ed, accompanied by two men, presum ably fellow-servants. "Why am I kept waiting here?"

My straining ears could detect that the doctor met him at the door, and that a hurried col loquy took place in the hall. I put on my gloves and hat, and was ready to start as the doctor entered. "My man has seen Mr. Mason." he faid. "and he assures him he never heard of you before knows nothing at all about you.' Here was a thunder-clap. I began at longth to think that I must be subject to wonder if Mrs. Hall could possibly be my wife, and if so. who in the world I. myself was.
