ARMENIA AVENGEl*
A Jay of retribution has dawned
for oerfidious Islam, in the land
where the truculent Turk gloated
over the ghastly forms of untold
Armenian victims, the heel of the
czar U crushing the dire offender.
The Grand I>uke Nicholas, who was
tram-ferred from the Prussian to the
Caucasus front after the Teuton of
fensive in the West, has asserted
his genius once more, and has
scored what military experts declare
the most important capture of
fortified positions of the war.
Meaner as are Ihe messages at
this eaxly stage, it is patent that
to penetrate one hundred milts of
the enemy's mountainous and forti
fied country has been a mighty task
Russia cot only is holding her onn
oa the vast eastern border, but iu
this southern arena h"-s dealt a
.shattering blow. T.it Tutks are
fleeinf. One dislodge au enemy
frcm a powerful ceatr.-lized position
like this, and it means gaining as
cendancy over a vast region.
The Russians have broken the
outer shell, and are pursuing the
enemy in all directions into the
heart of Turkey. The Britisa forces
have penetrate far up the Tigris.
The success of the allied forces in
this reg.oa cannot but be disco:i
certirg to the Teuton war lords
and to Constantinople and Bulgaria.
A ftw more well directed blows
placed home at vital centers like
Erzerum, and the entire fabric of
the unholy Turko-Teutonic alliance
will be sent tottering to its doom.

Three of the stained tr'.i-s windows
In the hall of the Bttto!:i r uu' \ lin

Wolsey. William Shakespeare and
Daniel Defoe in rwo^ni'ion of their
connection with the meat trade
The cardinal was the sou of a "re
spectable" butcher at l|>swidi, in Suf
folk. and "the immortal hard" assisted
while a youngster a butcher in his na
tive town of Stratford-on-A von.
Defoe, nowadays known a- the au

day an adventurer and secret nireut of
his povernment. was the son of a

Refraction of Light.
Refraction plays many magical tricks
with men's eyes. It Is responsible for
the extraordinary phenomenon called
mirage, which has excited the wonder
of mankind in every age. Owing to
differences of temperature, barometric
pressure, etc.. In adjacent parts of the
atmosphere, the refraction Is some
times capriciously varied so that tho
most abnormal sights are seen. Parts
of the earth seem detached and set
atlout. Ships are visible, upside down.
In the sky; objects lying behind hills
are beheld apparently lifted above
| them; lakes of gleaming water, sur
rounded by palm trees and refreshing
vegetation, spring into view In the
midst of sandy deserts; unknown cities,
with towers and pinnacles, make their
!i[i[>earance suspended In the air; aerial
j animals appear, browsing in Illusory
pastures; processions of men and '
horses are seen, marching or galloping
where no foot has ever trod—such are I
some of the recorded marvels that the
mirage has produced.—New York Jour- |
cat.
In Old Porto Rico.
In the vicinity of Mayaguez, Porto
Uk-o. are several historically interest
ing places. The little village of JUlo
Guanroba, near Anascc, was the scene
of the unique experiment by which the
Indians In 1311 endeavored to discover
whether the Spaniards were Immortal.
After holding a Spanish nobleman
under water six hours they vfere as
sured that those Intruders were Just as
subject to death as themselves.
About seven miles from Mayaguez,
across a rough mountainous country,
is the famous sanctuary of Montserrat,
which is visited every year by many
pilgrims.
Situated conspicuously among its
wild surroundings, its large stone
church Is visible for many miles. From
the mountain top we obtained a de
lightful view of the beautirul plain
through which flow the Boqueron aud
Gunnajoba rivers.—Xew Xork Tele

PILLOWS AND TOOTSTOOLS.

A certain shop s| '~ing In np to I
date novelties r< • :>tiy several ,
very odd pillows ' footstools. Tlic
work resemble] the crazy quilt work
our greci grandmothers were so fond
of doing. only Id those days the pieces
were all joined togi-ther. while the pil
lows in this shop were made In n dif
ferent way. Clack * tin was used for
the background, and \ irlous o:ld piece j
of bright colored si''t. velvet and leath
er—yes. leather—wcrt scattered about
and appliiiuod In pi ce
Some of the piece- were cut to form
star shaped flowers with bright centers
of embri idery silk. 0:hers were shap
ed like leaves, and the few pieces of
leather (suede) nscd had scalloped
edges like a flower, with the edge
■worked in blanket stitch and fastened
In the center to the satin. The silks,
velvets and leather were all colors, but
the stitching around the edges was en
tirely In heavy black embroidery silk.
No attempt had been made to form a
design; the colored bits of silk and vel
vet—emerald green, yellow, orange, ver
milion and brown—were evenly distrib
uted over the black satin, and the ef
fect was quite pleasing and very odd.
If you look carefully through the pile
of remnants in the dress goods as well
as the upholstery department of stores
yon can often find the most wonderful
materials In a variety of colors, and,
being odd sizes, one can usually buy
them for a small sum, and they are
large enough for pillows.
Few of us can afford to have rooms
repapered or changed each season, but
It hi quite possible with a little thought
to give Just the right touch of color to
each room and make It appear home
like and coiy at all times.
While bright colors are recommended
and extremely smart this season, do
not forget that you are the Jewel and
the room the setting, and when consid
ering emerald green, rose pink or scar
let for pillows select whichever will
harmonize best with your gowns. It
may seem rather absurd to some to
consider such matters, but every wom
an should live up to her best It Is not
a question of vanity; it is harmony.
