ARMENIANS A SPLENDID RACE
Valuable HemeM in a Country Which
Has for Centuries Sought Their
' Extermination.
f Travelers have recognized for cen
jturies, says Sir Edwin Pears, that
the 'Armenian population of Turkey,
nu&Lbering about tfro millions, is a
most valuable element in the country.
tThe people like ourselves, belong to
Ithe Indo-European race. A large
portion of .them occupy a mountain
ous country, add the men are usu
ally stalwart aal iadostrious.
o gfi&m tjfeafc irs cmlized and
proeyspcn? Si fl.ttiteW Christ, and
thfflfe'ean lie doubt fnat the gen
eral average iot-elligence of Armeni
ans is dua to the f act that they are
the deseea3ans of parents who have
been civflzevi for centuries. Arme
nia was the first country to establish
Christianity as the religion of the
state, tfnea: great Christian teacher
and national saint is Gregory the Il
luminator. It is rare to viaitthe
house'of aa Aaneiian in a fairly
prbaperoua condtioa.v where there ia
not evidence ef artistic and musical
taste; picture's or a piano, or other
musical instruments.

Yet ignorance of thhefivenis
shared by many who should know
better. The late Lord Avebury used
to tell how he walked from the house
with a well-known M. P. across St.
James' park one beautiful moonlight
night. "I wonder," speculated his
companion, "if we shall ever know
how it is that the moon, so constantly
changes its shape ! I suppose that

LIFE-LONG PATRON.
The vicar of a certain English par
ish stopped one of his aged parish
ioners, and congratulated him on his
approaching marriage. .
"I am sorry," he added, "that a
prior engagement will prevent me
from performing the ceremony on
Tuesday, but no doubt my curate
will do just as well V
"Ohnowt o' t' soort nowt o' f
soort ! ejaculated the old fellow.
"That be 'anged for a tale! Mebbe,
now, ye'd be at liberty on Wednes
day?" 'Well," was the Teply, "I certainly
shall be free on Wednesday, but "
"Then Wednesday it is,,r went on

"But surely," protested the vicar,
"you'll never postpone the wedding
for twenty-four hours " t
"Aw'd postpone it for twenty-four
year if necessary," came the firm re
ply. "You've alius done this job for
me, an' you alius will as long as Aw
live'
Then the vicar remembered that
the old fellow had (been three times
previously married.
