Very mysterious are those words
of Christ : "ani Jerusalem shall
be trodden down of the Gentiles until
the times of the Qentiles be fulfill
ed." No one can really understand
their prophetic import, until alter
the fulfillment itself; yet, for eigh
teen hundred years, Christian
believers have been pondering
them. No city of this wide world
lias had. so strange and eventful
a history as Jerusalem. It is
probably the oldest city of the
whole world, having been known
as Salem, the city of peace, even
before the days of Abraham. In
the historic period it has been
captured thirteeu times, and we
know not bow many times before.
Since the Christian era, it has ex
erclsed a strange and mysterious
spell over Jews and Christians
aud Mohammedans alike. It was
indirectly the first cause of mod
ern Christian civilization in Eu
rope tnrougn tne mnuence or tbe
successive crusades of the Middle
Ages; and now, to day, it is be
coming indirectly the cause of
changes on the continent ot Eu
rope, which may be just as far
reacuiog in their results. We say
"indirectly," for the possession of
Constantinople, to which all eyes
are now directed, - is not the real
centre of the "Eastern Question."
That centre is Jerusalem itself,
which stauds directly in the high
way between the East and West.
Iu these days of railways and
steamships and artificial harbors,
Jerusalem is of far greater import
ance as a stratagetic point, as a
commercial centre, as "the gate to
the East," and as the one point
where three continents nuite, than
any other city can ever be.
Coustautinople stands merely as
one of the outlyiug fortresses on
one side, as Egypt stands on the
other, to protect that Mohamme
dan power which really centres in
Jerusalem and Mecca; and to day,
to all outward appearances, "the
times of the Gentiles" are ap
proaching fulfilment. We have
all seen the changes that have
taken place in Egypt since the
bombardment of Alexandria by
the English The scene of con
flict is being now transferred to
Byzantium itsell. As the whole
world feels regarding the occupa
tion of the city, oi Jerusalem Dy
the Mohammedan power, so Rus
sia, and the nations of tbe Levant,
have felt regarding the occupa
tion of the city of Constantino by
the Turks, the last successors of
the ancieut Saracens; for Constan
tinople is strictly a Christian city,
built by the first Christiau Eunper
or of Kome. The mosque of Sauta
Sophia was once the chief cathe
dral of the Orient, and iu its
chancel the form of the Cross can
still be distinguished beneath the
whitewash with which the Turks
have covered it. Its capture by
the Mohammedons in 1453 only
antedates the discovery of Amer
ica by thirty-nine years; and ever
since that day, to use the phrase
of Freeman the historiau, the
Turks have only "encamped" in
altar, of them that were slain for
the word of God have been crying,
"How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost Thou not judge and avenge
oar blood on them that dwell on
the earth?" (Revelations vi :10, 11.)
For centuries the voice of our
brothers? blood has been cryiug
to n from the ground; the whole
civilized world has at last heard
the cty, and the cause of suffering
Armenia has thus been taken
up t a higher court, as we have
said, than that of the nations of
Europe.
The Eastern Question will never
be settled by those European
powers, but by a power to which
they themselves must bow in obe
dieuce. Christians in the East,
not only in Armenia, but in all
the adjacent parts the dwellers
in Mesopotamia aud Jndea and
Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
in Phrygia . and Pamphylia, in
Egyt and Syria, have raised the
cry, "Come over aud help us," and
all Christian civilization is re
sponding to that call. What shall
become of Turkey in Europe is a
secondary question. It matters
not what the future geographical
boundaries of Russia, Gieece, or
England, may be. The one thing
needful, and the one thing that a
growing and irrepressible power of
universal Christian sentiment will
demand, is that this unchristian
tyranny, this unchristian persecu
tion, this uuchristian civilization
itself, must be blotted out in the
East.
A year ago, men said: What has
America to do with Armenia!
Strange to say, America is now
the one land of all others to which
every one is looking for the crea
tion of this public sentiment, just
because she stands among tbe
other great Christian powers an
the only one who has nothing to
do with, aud nothing to gain or
lose by, the political aspects of the
"Eastern Question." More than
once we have been told that Lord
Salisbury. Mr. Gladstone, aud
others, have pointed to us and
said: The attitude of America-in
this crisis is of great importance.
It was through au almost instinct
ive realization of the true situation
that the General Convention for
mally took the uuprecedeuted
actiou of appealing to the authori
ties of the Church of England to
move in this matter; and the wave
of public sentiment that is des
tined to roll over Europe will have
its first begin uings here.

Europe. They do not belong to

tions. . They do not observe thos
ten commandments of God which
are the basis of all codes of Chris
tian jurisprudence; their system of
governmeut has been a blight

They have simply kept their posi
tion through sunrance, ana oecause
of the internaiional jealousies of
Europe. Ever since tbe Greek

the problem up to the present uas
presented itself to tbe statesmen

Rnt. m the meantime, tne case

Iu the meantime, a personal
responsibility is resting upon each

are living in our prosperous homes

"by example and persoual influence,

Washington Times. . - -
Stroudsburg, Pa., Nov. 30. It
is not generally known that Abra
ham Lincoln sent a substitute to
the laie war, but such is a tact.
During the earlier days of the war,
it seems to have been the desire
of all prominent men in Washing
ton to have a representative in the
ranks, and Lincoln was no ex
ception to tne ruie.
At that time there was a minis-
Aad the ritUbnr Dispatch Will Tell AU

Next vear promises to bo a remark
able one for news. There will be na
tional conventions which everything
indicates will be more than usually ex
citing, and an election of vital import
ance, xnei e are wars ana rumors 01
wars, and international complications
almost without number. It la the year
in which the Greater Pittsburg is to be
inaugurated, and the new era in Penn
sylvania politics bids fair to make mat
ters lively from one end of the State to
the other. The Pittsburg Dispatch will
have the most accurate, complete and
exclusive rerorta of these events, and
of all others that will transpire. The
Dispatch is now the only newspaper,
not only in America, but in the world,
which has a staff correspondent inside
of the lines of the revolutionary array
in Cuba, insuring prompt and trust
worthy information of the great strug
gle which is attracting so much atten
tion. What other paper get by hear
aav and rumors the Dirpatch receives
direct from its own staff on the spot.
But while the newa is of the first im
portance the other features which go
to make up the modern newspaper
maeazine will receive even more atten
tion than in the past. Nearly all of the
really prominent authors of the two
hemispheres have been engaged to
write for the Dispatch tToring 189C.
The list includes: A. Conan Doyle,
Rudyard Kipling, Sarah Orne Jewett.
Harold Frederic, Justin Huntley Mc
Carthy, Bret Harte, Anthony Hope,
Mrs. Burton Harrison, John Strange
Winter, S. Baring Gould, Frank R
Stockton, S. R-Crockett, and, iu fact,
practically all of the famous authors
whose novels and tales delight the
reading public.
I The ablest scientific and economic
writers will vie witn tne mosi noieu
humorists to both instruct and enter
tain. The department devoted to the
fair sex and the household will be
placed on an even higher plane, if that
DO possible, inan oeiore.
On January the 1st the Dispatch with
will publish its New Year's feature, a
comprehensive chenological record of
the events of 195. This has been imi
tated, but never on the scale of the
original in the Dispatch. It is some
thing which alone is worth a year's
subscription as a work of historical ref
erence, in which all subjects, local as
well as general, are treated.
At 2 cents, 10 cents a week, or 15
cents with the Sunday issue, delivered
through carriers or newsdealers, the
Dispatch is the best value on earth.

could hold no communication with each
other, though the hats were side by rids.
If anyone went oat, he was seized by
the wind and had to be dragged back by
means of ropes.
In this darkness and desolation the
aurora borealis did ranch to entertain
and cheer them. It lasted sometimes for
five days in succession, with splendors
of color that Mr. Noasiloff tries in vain
to describe. To enjoy the spectacle be
used to remain for hours in a hole in
the snow, sheltered from the wind.
"I have never seen anything more
terrible than a tempest during tbe polar
night." saya Mr. Noasiloff. "Man feels
himself overwhelmed in immensity."
When there came a loll in the storm,
the men ventured oat to breathe tbe
air and purge their longs of the exhala

seal oil.

sense of comicality by steeping bits of

place in a small chateau belonging to an
aristocratic old French lady. She did
tbe honors of her boose in a courtly, old
fashioned style, but she spoke bo other
language but French. Tbe dinner went
off so well that oar host felt be mast

knew no French. His enthusiasm was
aroused by the moonlight that poored
down on a terrace where we took coffee.
He went to tbe marquise, and mastering
what words of French he knew took her

waning moon said. 'Foyer, mads me,

ten years ago, thought 01 tne lar
off land of Armeuia. Yet, to day,
that nation is attracting the gaze
of the civilized world. Armenia,
"the country of Ararat," uroi
the Chaldees," the home where
tbe Jewish race first originated,
is, next to Palestine, the most
sacred spot of tbe world. The
Armeuiaus themselves are the
oldest Christian nation, and pos-
rk a tne ursi. uauuui wumvu Vi
the whole Christian era. And
this fact becomes all the more re
markable when we remembertbat,
all through that time, they have
been subjected to an almost unin
terrapted series of persecutions on
account of their Christian faith;
first from the Zoroastrian Per
then from the Mohamme-
dau Saracens, ana, lasuy, iruiu
the Seljukiau and modern Turks.
Heretofore, we have heard only of
the persecutions on the outskirts
of Mohammedan dominions. We
have never until today beeu
hrnneht face to face with tbe real
historv ot that unknown land of
Asia, where 'the spirit of this per
secution centeied and reached its
culmination. The atrocious truel

counterpart only in the ten perse

are only the last chapter of .a long

A lady who was one day watching a
pair, of redstarts as they worked in a
tree was startled by a violent commo
tion that arose in the shrubbery bard
by. Catbirds screamed, wrens scolded
and the robins shouted "Quick l" with
all their might. A chipmunk was drag
ging a baby catbird by the leg from its
nest and all the birds round about bad
come to help make a row about it, in
cluding a Baltimore oriole. The scream
big and the swish of wings as tbe birds
darted about made the squirrel abandon
its prey and then the commotion sob
sided as. quickly as it had risen. All tbe
birds bat the oriole went about their
business elsewhere. The oriole bad not
said a word so far, and beyond the coun
tenancing the hubbub by his presence
had had no part in it.
The squirrel, having dropped the
baby catbird, cocked Itself npoa a limb
and began to chatter in a defiant way,
while the oriole sat not far away look
ing at it, bat doing nothing else. Bat La
a few moments the squirrel left its seat
and Jan out on the limb it had been sit
ting on until it bad to use care to keep
iu hold, and then the oriole's opportu

Flashing across the space he struck tbe
chipmunk in ono eye with his sharp
pointed beak, and then turning blatant
ly struck the other eye iu a like manner.
Quivering with pain, tbe squirrel let go
the limb and dropped to the ground,
where it rolled and straggled about ap
parently in the throes of death. The
oriole flew away to his favorite elm,
where he sang in bia moat brilliant fash
ion. The lady pot the squirrel oat of
its misery and then saw that the oriole
had destroyed both eyes. Chicago rec

variety made tbe green flowers his home,
and a pink one lived principally in the
pink flowers. The colors of the three
varieties were at first supposed to be
permanent, but it has recently been dis
covered that the color of any one of
these spiders changes within a few days
if the in.-rct be placed in the convolvulus
of a different coloreJ flower from that
which ho ha been using as his home.
Four spiders pink, white, green and
yellow in color were all put in a box
together, and within three days all were
white.
When I retained in 'the afternoon to
the choom In a driving storm of sleet,
I found Vssaill and bis wife in great
fettle. He had killed a deer in the morn
ing, and they bad been indulging In one
of their big fe4a. In fact, as I sledded
np to tbe choom he and bis wife were
only jast concluding a three boors feast.
Squatting on skins, they had a rough
piece of plank in front of them on which
lay the stomach of a reindeer. This was
almost fall of blood, drained from the
deer in fact, it formed their soup tu
reen. They each bsd bind leg. on
which some of the hide still remained.
and cutting off chunks of the meat were
dipping them in the crimson soap and
then greedily swallowing the bonne
booche.
As a fitting background to the pic
ture pieces of the carcass, still dripping
with blood, hong all round tbe Interior
of the choom. On the ground were
small, dark pools of blood, and my
sleeping bag. though as well out of the
way as the size of tbe interior would al
low, was well sprinkled with the same
natural dye. As they sat there grinning
a welcome to me, with their cheeks and
brows all smeared with gore, tby look
ed for all the world like the blood eat
ing ghouls of one's childish fancy.

One bf the greatest corioaities among
the domeaticaird animals of Oykm ia
a breed of cattle known to the sodI!
as the "sacred running oxen." They
are the dwarfs cf the whole ox family,
the larreet specimen of the spxries nev
er exceeding to inches, or XV, fH la
height. One sent to the Msrqu is cf Can
terbury la the year 1S91. and which is
rtill living and believed to be eocav
where near 10 Tears cf ase. is only XI
inches high and weights but 109 1,
pounds. In Ceylon they are ui fc
making quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and it is said that four of tb-n
can pull a driver of a two wheeled cart
and XOO pound load of mlarellsneccs
matter CO to 70 mike a day. They kerp
np a constant swinging trot or ran and
have been known to travel 100 miles ia
a day and night without either feed or
water. No one knows anything concern
ing the origin cf this peculiar breed cf
miniature cattle. They hiTe b-oa YrKrwn
on the island of Ceylon and In other
Buddhistic countries for more than a
thousand years. One story told to ac
count for their origin is to tbe effect
that they were originally cattle of th
ordinary height and bulk ; that a Bod
dhistio priest was once imprisoned La a
stone building, one-half of which was
used for a cattle stable, During the
night be managed to dislodge one of the
stones In bis prison walL Tbe ste ia

It was almost dsybght when this
apostle of Baddha felt tbe air rush
through the opening be had made and
realised that he was all but free. U
knew that be would be unable to get
cot of the enemy's country fat, so
be prayed that he might be rrMdl
with a beast of burden that would a? ely

Flinders Petrie, the arcbsrologist,
while excavating among some ancient
Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roses
which had boon bound into a garland
and buried with the doad thousands of
years ago. IL Crepin. the botanist and
micrcecoplst, made a careful examina
tion of this queer find and prepared a
paper on it, which he read before the
Royal society of Belgium. From this
paper it appears that in places where
tbe flowers were matted together they
still retained their color as well aa a
verr faint odor. The species to which
they belong is now extinct, but a rose
resembling them in several particulars
is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia.
