'END OF ALL HIINCRS IS NEAR."

AdTentists See in the Turkish Crisis the Fulfilment of Prophfsy. Elwoo!, Ind., Nov. 19. Special. In an interview concerning the Adventist belief regarding the present Turkish troubles and their re ation to prophesy, Elder W . II. Ebert, of Frankton, Ind. one of the leading exponents of that belief, said: "We Seventh Day Adventists believe the present Turkish crisis foreshadows the end of the world, the destruction of its kingdoms, and the second coining of Jesus Christ. We base our belief upon the fulfillment of prophecy, and see in the present movements of the nations the gathering together of the nations to light the last great battle of the centuries the battle of Armageddon. "The Ottoman power, or Mohammedan power, is the one meant in the ninth chapter of Revelations, to which was to be given power to torment men live months, or ITA) years in prophetic time, when it w as to gain supremacy and to be given power to kill men 3'J1 years and fifteen days. The Ottoman power fulfills all these conditions, for it was founded by Othinan July 27, lW, and for 1Ö0 years tormented men, when it became supreme until Aug. 11, 1810. When the 3'Ji years and lifteen days ended it killed the third part of men, as prophecied, when its power was dried up to prepare the way of the Kings of the l.)st, which was fullllled when France, Kussia, Prussia, and England forced their ultimatum on the Mohammedan power, Aug. 11, 1810. fh'is was fulfilled the first part of the vision of the sixth vial. The three unclean spirits were then loosed and went forth to deceive the nation, and they are spirtualism nihil isin, and infidelity, and they are doing their work well. They are gathering the nations together to the great Uattle of Armageddon. The King of the South possibly English power after overrunning Egypt, Soudan, and Turkey, will encamp in the glorious Holy Mountain in the Holy Land, and the nations will be compelled to bring their migh:y Armageddon. "The nations are now moving toward that LattleiieM, and all their terrible implements of modern warfare will ne there when the seventh vial is poured when the battle of Armageddon, which is described in symbols in Jiey., 1 chap. 17, 21, will retult. The great city of the nations will be that tented field, and it will be divided into three parts the lioman power, the Mahommedan power, and the other powers represented. The hail spuken of means cannon balls; the earthquake, the explosion of the batteries, and the lake or (ire and brimstone will be the battlefield itself. It will be a battle of annihilation, and the kingdoms of the world will go down tJ rise no more. The United .States will j probably not be represented in this bat- i At., i .a. i a : ue, uuiwiiiue among me remnant Je J to be destroyed afterward When this battle occurs, as it shortly must, its climax will behe second comingof Christ. " " "The end of all things is even now at the door, and the nations cannot long strangle the Turkish complications as the unrest of nations is urging them on to bring about these things, for fear of which nations are trembling.

EGQ HATQH1NQ IN EQYPT. A Method of Incubation Which Is aa Old m th ChrUtUn Era. Among the fellahs of modern Egypt a process of incubation is in use which has been handed down from antiquity, perhaps from the time of Diodorus, who, forty years before the Christian era, said that the Egyptians brought eggs to maturity with their own hands and that the chickens hatched thus were not inferior to those hatched in the usual way. The process is described In Nature. Ovens are built, consisting of a chamber about eleven feet square and four feet high, with a flat roof. Above this another chamber, nine feet high, is built, with a vaulted roof, having a small opening in the middle to admit light. Below, a larger opening communicates with the room underneath. In cold weather both rooms are kept closed and a lamp is left burning In each, entrance then being had through the lower chamber. When the oven is ready the proprietor goes to the neighboring villages and collects eggs. They are placed on mats, strewn with bran, in the lower chamber. Fires are then lighted in troughs along the sides of the upper room, the eggs being in two lines immediately below. The fires are lighted twice a day, the first dying out at noon, and the other burning from 3 to 8 in the evening. The first batch of eggs is left for half a day In the warmest place and then it makes way for the next, until all have been warmed. This process Is kept up for six days, when the eggs are examined carefully in a strong light. Those that are clear are cast aside. Those that are cloudy are put back In the oven for another four days. They are then removed for five days to another chamber, where there are no fires, but the air is excluded. After this they are placed an inch or two apart and continually turned, this last stage taking six or seven days. The eggs are examined constantly by being held against the upper eyelid to reveal if they are warmer than the hu-

man skin. The whole process lasts twenty-one days, but thin-shelled eggs often hatch in eighteen. The heat required is S6 degrees Fahrenheit, cesslve heat is undesirable. CHECK PAYABLE TO CUSTER. Drawn the I)y of the Massacre ami Found at Hianiarck, N. I). A recent dispatch to the Chicago Record from Bismarck, N. D., gives the following information: "The tragic death of Gen. Custer and his gallant men at the hands of the Sioux Indians in the massacre of the Little Big Horn, was recalled here this week by the forwarding to Mrs. Custer of a check for Jl,500 drawn to the order of Gen. George A. Custer in 1S76. The check is dated June 23, and signed by B. L. Smith, at that time assistant paymaster of the army. It was on June 23, 1S7G, that the massacre took place. The check is still unpaid, and soiled and tattered though it be, constitutes a ! valid claim against the government for 1 tne amount represented upon its face, I TtfVlleTl n'aa n r ilrwilif intamlml or.

Boston Transcript: P. Vnlin, a nervous little old gentleman of Somerville, has discovered that everybody who buys liquids Is being cheated. He say the gallon measures in common use do not contain 231 cubic inches, as required by law, and he has proved it to his own satisfaction by testing a standard gallon measure with a set of square, tin boxes of known capacity. Mr. Valln has great confidence in his own measures and in his method of proof, which requires a squaring of the circle, but a little thing like that does not bother him. lie figured out a method of squaring the circle some years ago, and has been squaring circles ever since, with the greatest of ease. He says that, an a practical result of his figuring, ho ha found that the standard gallon is about a wineglassful "shy," and he calls on the authorities, in the name of the president of the continental congress, to at once rectify this error. Just what he will do If the government continues to go on cheating the consumers or liquids he does not say. but the mandates of a man who has squared the circle, It seems, should be given some consideration.

HAND1CAPPED BY SLEEPINESS A Kioiai Statesman Whose Lore of SIp Check! Hit Rle. From the Topeka State Journal: Last evening people passing S. Barnum's store, on the west side of Kansas avenue, noticed a large man sleeping soundly in a large covered spring wagon near the street curb. He was 6tretched acrosa the seat, and, while his position was not a comfortable one, the man did not care. His broad chest rose and fell at regular periods, which indicated deep slumber. Occasionally a whirring noise like the suppressed grunt of a pig escaped the sleeper. It was a snore, but not the ceiling-destroying kind. A close inspection would have revealed the chubby face of a man well advanced in years. His cheeks were covered with a thick growth of short gray hair and his head with an old slouch hat. Then the observer would have been startled to find a strong resemblance to a man who was well known in public life in Kansas not long ago. The man looked like ex-Con-fressman Ben Clover, and in truth it was he. Ex-Congressman Clover now drives the reform school wagon and may be seen on the streets of Topeka every day. He got the place as a reward for political services rendered in the last campaign. He doesn't know anything about training boys, but Gov. Morrill's business administration gave him a job. When Mr. Clover was in congross he contracted, the sleeping habit,' and it made him famous. When an important measure was being considered he was wont to steal out into the anteroom and stretch his portly form on the luxurious cushions of a government sofa, and while his colleagues wrestled with some intricate Question affecting their constituency Congressman Clover of Kansas slept and, it is said, snored, not sa'tly or gently, but loud enough to be heard in the adjoining legislative hall. Then Mr. Clover's constituency got angry and elected some one else, and since then he has been compelled to

take his naps in less convenient places, Other people i.ave contracted habits in ! congress, but it remained for Congress-

Ex- j man Clover to make a departure and I become, like Dickens' fat boy, a coni firmed sleeper.

The Worm Turn. "One moment, madam," he said to , the excellent woman who had been i quoting statistics to him, "do you realize that the hours wasted annurily by temperance agitators in estimating the ! amount of liquor sold would be enough. ! If placed end to end. to age all the i brandy in the world twenty years?

I beg you to consider t hese awfui f.ets at your leisure; and mean while, madam, I have the honor to wish you a very good day." A C'nrioa Little Ceremony. There Is a curious ceremony that takes place nightly in a theater. To the manager, reposing in his dressing room between the acts, enters a gentleman of his waistcoat pocket; sometimes he rends It in fragments and casts it to earth, cursing his night as Job his day. That little document in a note of th? box office receipts for the evening, the financial pulse of the theater. ow wi,n a I),av ,,v a brand new mi'n. unless it chanced to ratch on from tin very first, thre would probably be t!i.' most feverishly fluctuating and inPyxing varieties in that pulse; littl runs up of a few nights, and little run j down again. So that the manager niiiy ; i well be in doubtful dilemma. If h j takes the play oif he loses all the mo-t-ey he hns .spent upon it; if he !. ;) s i: on, it may work up into a sii.-..vts may, also, lose more money for him, when he has already lost too much.
