There is a sort of general | tidiness about many of the yards that shows that the cleanup order was rigidly observed. The gardens that have been planted since this work was completed are looking well because they now have a setting of spick and spanness that adds to the beauty of cultivated spots and causes them to take on an appearance of well cared for places. The question is being often asked why it is necessary to issue cleanup orders in order that yards might be kept clean and sight- 'ly. It isn’t, so far as many places are concerned, because some people seem to take a delight in keeping their yards free from debris of various kinds, while others are neglectful. No one can explain that except .that people are built that way. It is nec- cessary, however, that there should be a guiding hand in all such matters,- because if there wasn't they would be conducted. in a slip shod manner, some places would be cleaned up and others wouldn't and between the two the unsightly places would operate against the good appearance of the others, New Britain as a general thing is pretty clean, it could be cleaner, and perhaps it will be when the clegnup Habit is more thoroughly establishea, but the work so far undoubtedly has & good effect upon the general heaith of the community. New Britain stands pretty well in this respect” and all things considered it is showing a de- ‘clded improvement over what it was a few years ago. No one except those engaged in the work can ever realize what an effort it was to get the clean- up movement going and to have the people understand of what great im- portance it was. The task has been easier since but it still requires watch- the health authorities for the reason that we are a long ways from perfection. We seem to be headed 'in that direction, how- FACTS AND FANCIES, Plain clothes men in the would capture some of the & destroying drinking fountains »and other public property and a half doven stiff jall sentences would serve a pur- pose.—New Haven Union.

This reason is that these -girls carried their shop traning into the homes, thus increas- ing their efficlency/ It is a. reason- sble explanation. The difficulty has been to persuade such girls to take employment in homes, and no doubt a time of unemployment was their rea- son for undertaking it. 1t is to be hoped that there will be no turning back, and if so a new and much need, ed source of supply may be opened.— Springfield Republicain. While the hot season is still some weeks away it is not too -early to *sound the warning that proper care must be taken to save the babies and teduce infantile mortality by proper feeding and hyglene for the little ones especially = during the warm months from the first of June until the latter part of September. Statis- tic show that more children lose their iives during the summer than at any cther time of the year. Experts declare that this mortality may be greatly reduced if the proper precautions ere taken. Pure sweet milk is the best article of food for the little cnes during the hot weather. It must be sweet oritis worse than nothing. Sour or tainted milk is about as good for a baby as a dose af strychnine would be.—Hartford Post. Lay Editor For a Church Paper. (Brooklyn Standard Union.) One/of the signs of the changing times is to be seen in the fact that for the first time in its history the Christ- ian Advocate, chief organ of the Methodist Episcopal church, and pub- lished in New York for nearly a cen- tury is to have a layman instead of a WOMEN FOR FARM WORK. There is a movement on now to in- crease the employment of women' at farm work, and a peculiar thing about it is that women themselves are fos- tering it. Some .agricultural authori- tles have gone so far as to ‘say that #women do the best work. ' Just what li meant when farm work is discussed | has not been made plain, but it must _be ‘evident to every one that it can- not mean work in the fields, and that seems to be the principal place of em- ployment for the average American farmer. In foreign countries women work with the men in the fields, but she ‘srouses sympathy as she goes aboue her duty because it does not seem as if she 1s it for that kina of a life and she seems out of place when en- gaged in it. A ‘great deal of that Xind of labor is engaged in this class ¢f work in our own country, though | it is largely among the foreign ele- ment and one does not need to travel far to'see it.

The farmer's wife as a general thing has long hours and though she will be seldom if ever seen at work in the flelds she must ‘indeed be an optimist to find much pleasure in the more or less lone- some existence that appears to be her portion. - She used to go to market behind an old horse and buggy, but many have their autos nvwadays and the humdrum existence that was once hers_is gradually giving way to the miore active life that is coming to the prosperous agriculturist. To the woman who is seeking a place of em- ployment, however, ‘and finds it on a 'farm will in all probability learn that there is no eight hour day there, and that taken as a whole:- it is not as pleasant a# living in the city, espe~ cially for young peopls.

Dr. James Rich- ard-Joy is about to succéed Rev. Dr. George P. Eckman, to whom he has been chief assistant. Dr. Eckman has accepted the pulpit of a larger church in Scranton, Pa., whither he has al- ready gone. Dr. Eckman was the successor of Rev, James M. Buckley, who was edi- tor for no less than thirty-two years being elected eight times in succes- sion. He is now, at his advanced age contributing renmiiniscences to the col- umns of his church paper and filling a chair in Drew theological seminary. Dr. Buckley went to editorial work from a highly successful pastorate in the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church here in Brooklyn, then the largest of the denomination, and he was frequently called upon to preach there and in other Brooklyn churches while editor. He succeeded Rev. Dr. Charles H. Fowler, who was elected a bishop after four years of editing the Christian Advocate. He in turn had succeeded the venerable Rev. Dr. Daniel M, Curry, with whom at the meetings of the New York east con- ference, to which they both belonged, he and Dr. Buckley often crossed gwords in sparkling debate. To both of them as editors-in-chief Rev. Dr. W. H. Du Puy, was a valued assistant, With Dr. Joy's eleven years’ exper- jence he should have no difficulty in maintaining the standard of the publication of which he has been made the head until the general con- ference meets next year and therein becoming his own successor. Fifteen Doctors Wanted. (Contributed.) x The - American Bodard of Commis- sioners for Foreign Missions needs at once fifteen surgeons and physicians for: work, in mission fields. = Nine are wanted for China, four for Turkey, one ‘for Africa and, most urgent of all, .one at once for relief work in Serbia, with station at Monastir. Jehis latter call is in the nature of a “spe- cial” and may appeal to :some doc- tor' who wants to give two years -or so ‘to humanitarian Hervice.” = The need. is tremendous; the board has /the moitey dnd' the location. - The [yman. must be. thoroughly, first-class a8, o ‘equipment ‘and devotioh. For Chiira, six nien and three wom- ‘en are. wanted to join hospitals al- ready ru g:which treat from*ten thousand thirty thousand cases a .vear. . The new men and women will be associated with' surgeons in charge. In four hospitals in Turkey physi- cians.surgeons are wanted in, associa- fion with doctors already on the ground. The American hospitals have increased their irnfluence enor- mously durihg these months of war and the men on the ground must be re-enforced. . In Durban, Africa, a physician-surgeon is urgently needed. The beard lays down no sectarian test but ‘does insist on earnest Chris-. tian consecration on the part of phy- sicians whom it sends out. The can- didates should he not over thirty-five vears of age. In cquipment the board requires a degree from a dis- tinctly first-class institution and in addition an interneship or its cquiv- alent.

If it were not for certain things, what better for man or woman at this period of the season than to wander forth into the fields to near what na- ture has to say? On the breast of the earth will be found all manner of springing life. If any tragedy lurk in ambush, the smiling face of the landscape gives no clew. The time of the dandelion bloom has almost passed, making it too late to emulate the progressive Kansas spirit, all wound up to the elimination of that fair weed in the name of the country's welfare. Per- haps nature could not tell to Kansas as Emerson says it will tell to all busy folk, willing to stop a moment and listgn, “So hot, my little sirs!"” ithin the week the summer shade has developed as only the tree foliage can do under the late springtime warmth and freshening showers. Not until winter returns will the bleak places again show themselves. The white petals of the bridal wreath nod gossipingly to each other of blissful Jurie events, and the Trobust snow- balls answer with an indifferent mas- culine swing to the hint of these com- ing inconsequentalities. = The pressure of the hand on the shrub blossom fills the air with balsamic odors.

Pas- tures green woo ' the ambling cow, which passes the rich green tufts for the crisp short grass. And the price of butter goes up for the same reason, the ultimate sonsumer being the suc- culent pasture on whose scant but tender pickings the middieman de- lights to feed. All is smiling and inviting and pleasantly cool, with the midsummer heat yet far ahead. Despite the primal curse, the earth at this season is still a garden of delights, Or would be, if it were not for certain things! Fake Doctor’'s Flim-Flam. (New York S\‘n.) A resident of the lower East Side’ opened the door of his flat to admit a A short, well-fed gentleman with'a medi- cal odor, who said he represented the board of health. The flat’dweller was commanded to remove part of his clothing and lie on the bed, his back uppermost, his face in the pillow, and submit to a physical examination. The medical man, in pursuance of his duty, anointed the patient’s back with a greasy preparation calcuiated to bring the physical defects to the surface and commanded thec patient to lie quite still until the vint- ment dried. When the patient would endure no longer -the patient rolled over, the grease still not dried. The medical man was gone, and so 'was the little wad of bills that the East Side man had worn next to his skin. The police arrested Jos¢éph Krowl, 26, of 1336 Fortieth street, Brooklyn, and charged him with being the bogus medical man in this little scenario, which has been played with profit in at least fifteen homes in the East Side below Fourteenth street. Kmowl is at police headquarters. charged with grand larceny. The police say he has a record; that he is No. 20112 in the roques gallery and that he has been to Sing Sing. . Long Suit Over $20 Wil Philadelphia North American.) It was a vexatious, complicated case, grising from a will dispute, and it had moved, after years, from the' lower to the superfor court and back again to its point of origin. Judge Staples grappled with it yesterday, “Just how much is claimed in thils action?” he asked after inspecting voluminous bundles of records. Clin- ton R. Sowers, representing the plain- tiff, Minna Franz, conferred with Roland R. Foulke, counsel for Mary Bernahrd, the defendant. “Ahout $20,” he replied. “Al]l this protracted litigation over $20!” exclaimed the Jjudge, “This should be settled without the ald of g duryr S “But how?” inquired the lawyers. “Each of you contribute $10 to this good woman ‘plaintiff,”” suggested thé Judge. % b Az they made out their checks, Judge Staples smilingly marked the case ‘“‘settled.” N » ¢ ¥ Courtesy Schools, (Pittsburg’ Post.) The announcemient that ‘the Penn- sylvamia railroad” is to condugt “cénr- tesy #chools” for . its employes number of cities, including Pittsburg, probably will * elicit. a chorus of “Bravos!” from the public, vet there is nething new about . the project. Not only. have the railroads constant- 1y been impressing upon their em- rioyes the need of being courteous, but in all other lines of business coming in contact with the publie politeness in dealing with customers is insisted upon. : It would not be a bad idea to estab- lish a few courtesy schools for the public. There is much that is coward- 1y as well as unreasonabte in the at- tacks some patrons make upon clerks or other employes who are not in a pesition “to reply.to them in kind. Would they talk to them =ns sharply if they wéreé to meet them under circum- stances where they would not be han- ¢icapped by the fear of losing . their poeitions? And one of the most un- reasonable features of tais is that many of such attacks are made by rersons who are employes themselves. They ferget the golden rule. They ver think ahout how the: woull teel if someone were to attack them as stupid or negligent anc rush off to complain to their employers. Let the courtesy idea take hold of all. & 1 in a WAR IN PERSIAN I Kurds and Moslems Claim W Prey Upon Bodies of —Missivnaries The following reported has been re- ceived by the New Britain Herald in a’ special letter from Persia, signed by the Assyrian committee. It is an appeal for aid for the war smitten Christians and contains a description of the horrors of the Holy War in Turkey and Persia that, although 4 little crude in its English could only have been written by one who has gone through the terrors described. 1t is presented: to Herald readers in full as follows: The destruction of the Assyrian Christians of Persia and Turkey will ‘£0 down in history as one of the blackest in the records of civilized mankind. Piece by piece, une village after another district by district, each in its turn have succumbed to the in- evitable, suffering unheard of tortures for their Christian faith and by reason of their unwelcome remote phical position, among Kurds, sian and Tartar Musulmen. Urumia a Den of Dogs. The beautiful plain of Urumia raving dogs. mad for the flesh of un- buried human bodies.scattered broad- cast in the plain, which after the reign cf terror havc been buried by the kind hands of the American missionaries the only agents of mercy left to save the remnant of Chrisfians from star- vation and mdssacre. One travéller fleeing for his life saw by moon light in the highways near a deserted Chris- tian village the bodies of five children end three women left there for over Llwo weeks; the head of a little child “belng stuck in the mud and the body frozen on the surface. A few hours later traveling again in tne garb of a musulman a government servant sve- ceeded in appealing to the mercy of a Moslem woman, went in to warm kimself and horse, saw two Christian women and one grown girl waiting for their fate. One was to be married to the servant of the ' serdar, another given to a local Moslem and the third the ‘mullah had said he was going to marry himself. Kurds Traitors. When the Kurds proved traitors to the Russian cause and with the w: pons given them, turned on the Cos- sacks and native Christians, the in- habitants of the large districts of Mergawar and Tergawar fled by night to Urumia ard left everything they could not take on their bazks behind, All the villages of these dis- tricts. and those of Urumia lying on the way to the city were plundered and burned. We witnessed the scene ourselves, after the Kurds were d_riven.bnck by Russians and Chris- tians from the very gates of the city. The things the Kurds could not take with them, they trampeled under foot, they destroyed everything and then burned the houses, barns haystacks and all. All the refugees of these and other districts poured into Urumia and were lodged in the var- ious villages. Then the Christians of the diocese of the Metropolitan from Cachea in Kundistan came in almost naked after three.times being robbed on the way. These also took refuge in beautiful Urumia. Al was well so long as there was place of shelter for the refugees given by their brethrom and so long as the. small Russian forces were there to inspire confi- dence.

After passing to the second village 6f Taka Ardheshai the 1,200 women and children w»rc’ suddenly ordered to halt. The plans were divided. Had we not better wait till the Russians arrive, “there they are, the sound of cannon comes from the west, they are coming.” But alas it was the sound of the guns of the enemy on the rear, for soon the rol- | ling of the smoké from the Gogtapa perched on the hill made it evident. Every woman was left in the hands of one man. “The number of missing young and married women is appal- ling. The women of Abdilakandi —a village of seventy families took ref- uge in the mosque of Marangalu when Moslem youths came in and jn the sight of men picked the best lookiug women and girls each for himself.

The same thing was taking I place in all other unplundered i~ lages at the very same tme, mischief being done by Kurds and native Per- sians as well, first plunder and then burning. > Flee to Churches. In the meanwhile those who could escape for their lives to the city to the American Mission came panic- stricken. trembling and shivering, and over-15,000 people mostly women and children took sheiter in“the American and French missions—( in the. latter some 2,700.) There, exposed to cold, bad weather and inadequate sanitary conditions, lack of water, not a soul dared to leave and for a time they died at the rate of forty a day. Sixty | bersons remained unburied for over a fortnight, No one could get coffins. Twenty died in the church whidh is supposed to accommodate 500. There were congested in it 2,000. The only , beacon to shine in this dark horizon | has been the presence of the American | missionaries. . Were it not for them, the remnant not only would die of starvation, but they would all have been massacred. Thé bravery of Dr. Packard is unparalleled. While the fighting was going on on Gogtapa hill when part of the|village was in flames | the remnant of the inhabitants had taken refuge in the two large churches on the hill. Fighting bravely against great odds after seventy men had fal- len in one trench alone; Dr. Packard risked his life and with tire American flag proceeded to intervene for wo- men and children, making terms of capitulation, since it was no use to i fight with exhausted ammunition and with all Kurdistan he succeeded night in rescuing all left and took Gver 1,000 persons to his hospital.
