Throwing off all disguise, the soldiers of the Sultan entered the villages, bayonet and sword in hand. The bugles sounded and the cannon boomed. With cries that were piteous, undersave that an awful standing nothing calamity was now upon them, the old villagers who had been left behind came tumbling out of their houses as the soldiers with calm ferocity applied the torch to the buildings. These old peasants flung themselves pitifully at the feet of even the common soldiery, crying "We are loyal! See! These are our tax receipts. For God's sake spare us. We love the Turks. Oh, do take us pity on us. Good God! don't burn alive!" 1 ORE HORRIBLE RECITALS OF BUTCHERIES; rh Bloodthirsty Followers of Mahomet Hacked Their Victims to Pieces and Burned Them Allre Heartrending WaUg of the Dying:. NCIENT, medieval and modern history, should all their records be rolled Into one.have no tale more dramatic and horrible than that of the outrages on the helpless peasants of Armenia at the hands of a ferocious Turkish soldiery. These atrocities stand forth in the annals of Christendom as the very essence of cruelty, and as an instance of what the still uncivilized Turk is capable of accomplishing. The civilized world stood shocked and appalled and the great powers of Europe stepped in and began an investigation. Then followed a demand upon the Sultan of Turkey to put a stop to these atrocities and to institute such reforms in his brutal government as would forever end another butchery of his Armenian subjects. And now the bloodthirsty Turkish despot defies all civilized Europe and refuses to interfere to prevent a repetition of the persecutions and horrors of Sassoun. The story, brutal as it is, and exhibiting in the minor telling of it a lust, rapine and violence that could hardly be imagined, Is all the more remark able because it is not war. Had the Armenians been fighting His Majesty, the Sultan and resisting his fanatical troopB, tome shadow of excuse might thero be, But, Instead of this, when the Turkish brigades appeared in the country the Armenian men and women ran to them like little children and gathered under what they thought were protecting wings against the ravages of the marauding, savage hill tribes, the Kurds. Without a sign, without a signal, while the peasants were yet hailing them as. the representatives of governmental authority and as the military delegates of their monarch, the Turks cut and fired, Cut and fired again. No novelist's pen could depict a tale of torture half so graphically as comes down In the simple ungarnished statements of the few survivors that somehow made their way beyond the reach of bayonet, bullet and sword. The blood that was shed has hardly ret grown cold, but even now all Europe is ablaze with shame and regret that such cruelties could be perpetrated Professor Langrley's Flying Machine. The Langley flying machine, it is reported, flew a distance of 1,000 feet, at a test, down the Potomac a few days ago.

When the Idea Is crystallized into dramatic shape, Sardou writes a scenario of a few :pages ghfing the skeleton, as li were, of the whole play. Then he put the work, aside! All his various schemet axe treated in jthe same way. He has at the present day from seventy tc eighty dossiers in his drawers, out oj which eight or ten plays will come.

Indeed, the clever actress can bring out all her best stage paste, her "queen" girdles, arid such; adjust them to the new condition of millinery, and cut a swath to make, the richest envy. It Is always safe, however, to use such baubles sparingly, and spangles will, in most cases, afford quite as much glitter as is desired. The accompanying sketch displays a bonnet whose brim is embroidered prettily with spangles and topped by a band of lace. Braided straw is the base of this and for other trimming toward the front there are silk rosettes, violets and leaves, while in the back there is a puffing that may be either pale lavender chiffon or of mousseline de sole. Tiny lace hats look very like the soldier hats children make out of folded paper, only the peak, of the crown is much reduced. A pair of bright roses are stuck up against the upright brim, an inconsequent roll of bright ribbon lies against the hair, and perhaps in the corner made by the turning of the brim there is placed a flare of feathers, or an upright horse-ha- ir aigrette.

And these are by no means isolated cases. In many other districts precisely the same style of things prevails. In a real beggars' village, all the inhabitants, including even the starosta, and other local dignitaries, are enrolled in a company, which is divided into cond parties.
