Greek Cooking.

The following, concerning the Greek
cuisine, is from James Albert Harrison s
book "Greek Vignettes," recently pub
hshed: I" 1t would take another Athe-
maus to chronicle all the curiosities of
Greek cooking. This morning, descend
ing gayly to our II o'clock breakfast /
was greeted breakfast, mind YOU, as
the first course, with a plateful of rice
saturated with grease and tomato sauce.
This on a delicate stomach rendered
almost morbid by long sleep! Then
came a dish of raw tomatoes, which |
have myself introduced to the knowl-
edge of our head waiter-a dish prepared
in our favOrite American fashion, and a
thousand times more palatable than all
their connections and cOnfections. Then
the waiter brought in with an artistic
flourish plate of indescribabie stuff, a
sort OF sausage covered all over with
thick white sauce and and garnished
with what tasted like boiled cucumbers.
Then but Heaven only knows what he
would have brought next After the
shrimps with olives that succeeded the
soup at dinner yesterday, one
was prepared for anything. But
to our infinite relief he brought
IN a dish of delicious apricots,
which with the vin de Parnes somewhat
counteracted the propylea of grease
which introduced the breakfast. Greek
cooking is mixture of Italian, Turk
lsh, Albanian, French, English and ma
tive customs The thick, sweet, unset
tied black coffee that succeeds every
meal-more CONNECTION than coffee
Is Turkish. The mountains of macca-
ROM dressed with tomato sauce and
cheese are souvenir of Naples. The
frightful combinations of okra, beans.
and tomatoes in which they envelop
their lamb and veal must be purely and
diabolically Greek, for | have never seen
anything similar elsewhere. No wonder
the Greeks are so slender-mere sill
hsuettes of people. Such food would
wear an Occidental to knife-blade. 1t
seems, however, to have had the con-
trary effect on the women, who at a GER
tain stage of their existence resemble
bladders. They are human cucumbers
that haze lain toe long in the sun and
gotten yellow

An Intelligent Disciplinarian.

A lieutenant on board an English
guard ship applied TO his captain to go
on shore. 1t was refused. He asked
again; the same answer, more preemp-
tory than before. He repeated his re-
peated his request, and asked for reasons
of refusal. Both were still obstin ately
withheld. "But, sir" he expostulated,
&C if ask for leave, and you refuse it
without giving me any reasons, | shall
walk about the deck with a stigma on
my back" {" By George, SIR" cried the
irate and rather unreasonable captain,
" if l catch you walking up and down
her maiesty's deck with anything but
her majesty's uniform on your back pU
have you tried by court-martial."

THERE are few tramps in the south.
The negroes, who have autocratic sway
in almost every kitchen, do not take
kindly to them, and will not give them
anything to eat. Another reason for
their absence is, that the south does not
afford the same advantages for plumber
and free living to be found in the north.
1t is expected that the cotton crop this
year will be larger than the natives can
pick. and the suggestion was made that
tramps be secured to help get the crop
all in. The general sentiment, however,
is that it will be more profitable that
the extra crop go to waste than to intro
duce the tramps into the country,

THE machinery of the mint in Lon
don is so antiquated that it can scarcely
maintain the needed supply of coin, and
if any great and sudden extra demand
were made upon, as would be the case
in the event of war, it would be utterly
inadequate to meet it. London, the
largest and wealthiest of the great cities
of Europe, is the only one not provided
with the best modern mining facilities.

fact, feeling exists in most Hindoo
families that the girl who has learned to
read and write has committed sin sure
to bring down judgment upon her and
her husband.

AN interesting way of freeing grain
from worms has been discovered, but it
IS one with which MIR. Bergh, it is to be
feared, will not be wholly in sympathy.
The plan is to put a living crab into the
grain heap, so that it cannot get out.
The worms attack the crab and enter
the shell. In II hours the crab may be
taken out, and the shell will be found to
contain worms, instead of crabs meat.
The crab is then burned, and fresh one
is put into the grain.

PERHAPS the missionaries and trade
have had civilizing influence upon the
kattirs after all all. A private letter
from the cape says: Though some

their mercifully, considering that in
former wars they behaved 50 dreadfully
doing all the mischief they could. |

PROFESSOR VIRCHow is following up
the cranial Investigations which led him
to assign Turkish rather than Slavic
origin to the Bulgarian race. For this
purpose he has recently received fifteen
Bulgarian skulls from the battlefield of
kadikioi, which have been carefully
prepared by the red-cross surgeons. He
has decided to resign his seat in the
German parliament solely because his
parliamentary duties interfere with his
scientific labors; and, while he may be a
good enough politician, he thinks him
self a better savant.
