MARRIAGE OMENS. The bride who finds a ^der on her wedding dress may consider herself Wessed. The bride who dreams of fairies the night before her marriage will be thrice blessed. If the groom oarries a miniature horseshoe in his pocket be will always have good luck. Ship marriages are considered any- thing but lucky. Get married on land or don't get married at all. No bride or groom should be given a telegram while on the way to church. It i« popsitivelv a, sign of evil. No bride, if she woiild have good luck, should l>ake her own wedding cake. To do so invites ill fortune. Don't wear an opal in getting mar- ried. Some peoiJle declare thiit opals a#e lucky. History proves the con- trary. If the wedding ring is dropped during the ceremony the bride may sls well wish her.self unborn, for she will al- ways have evil luok. KUs a bride right after the ceremony and before the newly made husband has had a chance to do so, and you will hiive excellent luck throughout the year. Night weddings are better than none, yet they are by no mcvuis the best. The bride whom the sunshine cannot fall upon is sure to experience troublous time^. If she have children they will die young. Should the bride perchanoe see a coffin while being driven to the rail- road station prior to departing upon her wedding tour she should order the driver to turn back and start over again, or else she will surely meet with bod luck. * majority of 28,000, wbich is an !»â-  tires I SCBNT OP THK HELIOTROPE. A delicate odor, heliotrope, is obtained In small quantities from the heliotrope hedges of the Rlvleia by the process of mai'oeraticm, a quantity of very pure lard being placed in a oopper vessel with tbe f lo>verii and melted over a slow fire. Tbe flowers are then strained away, a process repe.ated till the fat is sufficleutly flower-soeuted, when the liquid fat is poured through a sieve, and the greasy flower paste subjected to hydraulic pressure. Since heliotrope blossoms must be used as soon as they are gathered, and the melted grease carefully kept at the lowest temperature that will maintain it in the liquid stat«i, the perfumer ac- cepts OS a subiititute heliutroplue, the white light crystalline powder obtain- ed from the ground pepper. Even If these difficulties of manufacture were avoided by the nyrogene or enfleur.ige systems, pure heliotrope essence could never become a popul&r perfume. Heat injures it. Tbe direct action of sunlight destroys it.

Aeeaasl of a MeeUBs in .Iberdeea, Hcat- laaii, at Wbiek a Wumaii Hasiilaaarjr *ilveH au Ao^aut of the Alrucltlea iMir Wl(a«9i>rd. An account of a great meeting held In Music HaJl, Abeirdeen, Scotland, Sunday evening, Sept. 1^2, to hear a lecture on "Turkiiih Outrages in Ar- menia," is published In the Banffshire Journal. The lecturer was a woman missionary from Armenia, wliose name "for obvious reasons," was not announc- ed. The lecturer introduced her subject by saying that when the Turks came to take Armenia there were 30,000,000 inhalHtants; at the present day there aso about 1,000,000. In the third cen- tury Armenia as a nation accepted Christianity, and ever since has suf- fered persecution such as no nation in the world knows. Speaking of the mas- sacre at Aorfa, a city uf t>5,000, about usie~Lhird of whom are Armenians, the speaker told of the trivial wai' in which the horror began. A Turk purchased some old gold coins from an Armenian, who called some days after for payment. The Turk, was greatly enraged that a "Christian dog" should dare come to his house, and next day went to the Armenian, and killed him. The Ar- menians, trusting to reforms sanctioned a few days previously, tried to take the Turk to the governor, when soldiers interfered, and some ^Vrmenians were killed. NO JIAN LEFT ALIVE. Continuing she ^poke as follows: One morning it was seen that a most iiy)ii*^n?i,i thing was about to hap- pen. On the eastern side of the city, at the old castle, there was a Turkish crescent raised high in the air. On the western side of the eity was a great Turkish flag, and then iximing over the hlLl were thousands and thousands of Turkish troops, under their officers, all armed, alt in orderâ€" uo mob and no Kurdsâ€" they were all Turks. The of- ficers halted there and the men wait- ed for the commands. A bugle sounded. Then every Turk went down into the city like a furious, mud dog, and the result of that day's work it is impos- sible to tell you. Only God knows. At sunset the bugle sounded. The Turks withdrew from their work, and it is an actual tact that many of the narrow streets were so blocked up with the corpses of people whom the soldiers bad killed that the Turks themselves cvuld not get over them. The streets ran with blood in no figurative sense, but In reality. The next morning the at- tack began again and was kept up till noon, and at noon the Turks stopped, because nut a man remained alive in the city that the Turks could find. They killed every man, and roblied every home, leaving only four bare walls, and tJH»e bare wails were without doors or windows. They had stripped the wo- men completely and driven them to their mosques or harems. Then the I Turks remembered that there was a great Armenian church left, and they want and broke open the doors, and there they found 3,000 men, women and children. They began to pick them oft one by one. But it was a big piece of work, and so they saw thev would have to do something else. In Armenian churohes we have no seats, only straw matting on which everyone sits on the floor. So the Turks took the straw matting in the church and piled it up In tJie middle of tbe flour. On this they poured thirty coses of petroleum and tlien set fire tx> it, and threw into that the living and the dead alike, and burned them up together. While those 3,000 Armenians were going straight up to the great white throne the 'lurks took up the great Armenian Bible, clasped with silver, which the Ar- menians loved very dearly, and they tore It up leaf by leaf, and while they did so they, looking up to heaven cried: "Jesus of the Chri-stians, we defy Thee to come down and save Thy work and this people"â€" ("shame")â€" and seeing He did not come down they cried : "Jesus of the Christiins is conquered by Ma- homet the prophet." The only people -saved out of the 3,000 were some beauti- ful girls and women â€" saved to a much worse fate than death. MOTHERS HEROIC DEED. On'' of tho most beautiful wcin^«n, who was educated In our schools, had a weal- thy hu»band and six loving children. The first day of the massacre the Turk.s out up her husl>,uid beforn her eyes. She went to the church with her six lit- tle ones and went into the gallery. Shortly after th^ mofsiore in the church began and the Turks were taking out some of the glris and women, one Turk cwne to l.hi» lady and said: "Do vou remember me t I am t he man t hat sight of his childr»n, who could see from >m open window what was being done. The rurks came in and took one man after another from his hid- ing place and killed him, and not one man was killed In a decent way â€" arms were pulled off, ears cut off. eyes goug- ed out, and the pour men mutilated and l>utcliere<i in the most horrible way. The only persons saved out of the fifty were two young men who had gone do^vn into the well, and nearly died from the effec-ts of standing in the cold water. The liodies were thrown over the city wall into a great trench, wheire 6.003 were 'dragged with cords fastened to the ankles and buried, but the trench that had been dug had so little earth over it that even to-day the dogs ore sti'.l gnawing those poor i>one8. (SenKition.) And what those people suffere<l at the time of the mas- sacre is nothing to w^har they are suf- fering at the present time. Ton will understand that when I tall vou that there are over 2,000 widows, 5,0OO orph- ans, and men with their hands cut off, the oords of their knees cut, without iinna, sometimes without noses â€" thos. people so terribly maimed have neith- er emplm-ment nor the ability to work. And not a woman, not a gurl knows, when ahe goes to bed at night, what will be her fate in tbe morning. ("Shame.") I may tell you just here that none of the Armenians need to have suffered death If be had accepted Islomism. Instead uf doing that ihoiie thousands and thousands of Armenian:^ have perished because they would not give up their religion of Christ for that uf Mohuumied. (Loud cheers.) REVOLl' IN CONSTAN'riNOPLE. You have heard a great deal about revolutionists in Constantinople. Let me say tnat there is no real man in this audience who would not have been a revoiUtiunist twenty or thirty years ago. Do yon know one of the chief ways the Kurds have of amusing them- selves t When a bride in Armenia has come to the ajlar â€" and It is just us much to be a bride in Armenia as in any other country, and there are as many holy ties and asaociations connected with it â€"and her husband has taken her by the hand, again and again hundreds of times the Kurds have been in waiting to fall upon the party. The bridegroom is killed or overpowered, and the bride is taken away to the mountains for two or three weeks, and then sent back. ("Shame.") That is but one of the wajs they have of using tbe6e poor Armen- ians. Now. about the revulutionisls at Con- stantinople. Do you know that the re- vujutlunists at Constantinople did no- thing till they knew that throughout the whole city arms were b(^ing dis- tributmi. and that the I'urks were in waiting to begin a massacre â-  When thev saw that they must die. they said. "NVe shall dii? like men, and show Eu- rope that we have some fight In us." .So they gathered together into the Ot- toman Bank, and for tliat reason they have been called revolutionists. (Cheers.) I was in Constantinople nine we«'k.-i ago. Let me tell you some of the things that were going on there. Three hundred men were picked up from the streets as they were going about and doing their ordinary busineat, with no re- volutionary Ideas whatever. They were picked up and put into a boat, and the B(ii|>urus knows the rest. A diver came to the EiigUsh consul, and swearing with his hun.ls upon the Bible gave his testlniuny. Ue aild: "1 went down into the Bosporus this morning, Olid when I got to the iMttoni I was frightened to find mvself surrounded by men standing upright. 1 thought they could not be alive. I moved, and found when I looked closely that every man ha<l stones tied to his feet. Of these men I oounted forty." ("Shame.") That was one man's testimony. Diver after diver came and said that there were so many corpses in the Bosporus tiiat no money would again intluce him to go down. I>o you wonder that there men of wefilthy olaas had fled to th* moimtains, where they Uved for •everol weeks ainnng the snow, eating roots only. They thought everything wa« quiet in the village and came back, at; invitation being issued to them to con- sult with tbe governor as to how to provide for the widows and orphans in the village. Those poor men. never doubling, went wlih th." sJMieis They warn taiien to a garden, whero I have lieem many a time to eat my dinner. There the soldiers mutilated tlieae men, cutting off the ears of one man, ths hands of another, the tongue of another, and so on. As the poor men were dvlng the Turks, looking at them, said, "\Vhal is the matter I You look very weary. Oh I we know. You ore hungry. Coms up here and have something to eat." i'hey took Iheju up to a gmat oven, and there, cutiing off portions of their flesh, threw it into the oven, and tried to make the poor men eat their own flesh. (Sejisation.) They took one man and roasted him whole. Then they set him up in a corner, and, taking l>ranob- es, made a crown, which they put oa bis head, saying, "The Jesus of the Christian." The wife of one of thoaa men was passing, having no idea that her husband was inside. One of ths Turks came out and gave her the lirhfh- ping, worm head of l^r husband before .she knew what it was. Another poor woman was aiiiiug at home nursing a child on her knee, with another child at her feet. The Tories come In and before she knew it the head of tha c:hiid on her knee was severed from its body. The soldiers picked up tbe other one on the points of their swords and tossed it from one to another, cry- ing all the time. "Nice, fat pork for sale." (Hisses.) DEATH RESCUES THEM. I am about to go to Armenia. What word shall I take to those people i May I tell them of such a meeiuig as this in Aljerdeen f (Cheers.) May I tell them that such a plan is going to be worked out that they need uot die in this com- ing winter t (Cheers.) It is the actusli truth that though there are no more massacres, most of the millions of Ar- menians who remain must die this win- ter, because, as I .said, they have no work. They dare not work. No one dares to go to his field or his shop. Those helpless men and women and chil- dren must therefore die unless relief oouies, and come speedilyâ€" and we do nut want monegr as the first thing. We want your sympathy and the ex- pression of the governmet that these things shall no lunger continue. (Loud cheers.) I am sure this large audience has uot ootne here unwilling to do some- thing.

NOT LEADERS OF FASHION. It is seldom one finds a leader of fashion among the ruyal women of Elk- rope. Not a few of thttm are notable for a disregard of fashions decrees, and many others are content to fullciw tha lead of others. Some of them have fads in garments, as, for instance. Queen So- phia, of Sweden, who is a member of the Salvation Army, and affects the style - â€" of raiment peculiar to that organiza- are a few revolutioiiisisf I am sure ,:„„ that r do not.

So those si.x ^reat powers sent representatives to .'illle Zeitun, telling the people: "Give us your ariiis and you will get a Chris- tian governor." the Armenians knew that T.hey couUi not trust the Turks, but they thought that surely the -six gre<it poivers could l)e trusted. 'lliev gave up their arms, and the I'urks have niaasacred them. Not a Turk has been disarmed, and they have never seen any Queen Emma, of the Netherlands, makes no pretensions whatever about dress, and the most familiar portrait* of her daughter, Queen Wllhelmlna, show us a simple figure in the native dress of Holland. I'he dress of Queen Henrietta, of Belgium, bus always been simple. The Empress, of Germany, too, is another instance of a royal ludy who has little or no influence on the fash- ions of her country. In England, the Princess of Wales, and her daughters are striking in- stances of women of royal blood who have not only not led the fashion, but I hey have not even followed it, tbe mi>st striking proof being afforded in the fact thai they have never adopted the enormous developments of the puff- ed sleeves, which have been in vogue for some time.
