The Races Of Cyprus.

The two races that inhabit the countr,
are very distinct types. The Turks arr
tall, well built men, generally spared ani
active. The great characteristic that dis
tinguishes them from the Greeks is thei1
proud bearing. They all have certain
reserved expression on their faces, evi
IDENTIFY thinking well of themselves They
are not at all fanatical about their relig
ion, and although good Moslems, they dc
not share in the sterner precepts of the
law of Mahomet. They work better than
the Greeks, are more inclined to take an
interest in what is being done, but are
also more independent and less submis-
sive under reproof It is rare to find the
turks inhospitable; they are generally
very obliging at first. For instance,
have been told at a village that every
thing would be provided for nothing;
that I must accept their politeness, not
only in words of politeness, but really
intending that I should live on them.
After refusing such offers, it is strange to
be cheated in the price of barley and
chickens; but it is Turkish and Oriental.
They generally have receding foreheads,
whereas the Greek forehead is straight
and the dark Nubians and the semi -Nu-
bians have domed foreheads. They pre-
fer white and red striped Manchester
stufs for their clothes, whereas the
Greeks are almost always dressed in the
blue indigo-dyed stuffs of home manu-
facture. They are brave, fearing and
looking up to no one, making splendid
soldiers, and are peaceful, moderately
honest and industrious. The Greeks are
also fine made men. They have a mild
and humble expression of countenance,
and are timid. They hide in the villages
as a Government official passes through
without any real cause. They are very
religious, generally going to church
evening and keeping great number of
saints days, and believing every SUPER
stitious story. They are stupid, and are
bad workers, shirking as much as they
can. They like shilling day, but
after two or three days they are inclined
to strike for three shillings. They are
rich enough to lie in the sun and do
nothing for long time, and they object
to working when they become such capi-
talists. There are brigh. exceptions to
this rule-energetic Greeks, who are bet
ter sometimes than stupid Turks; but the
great test of stamina, the keeping at con-
tinual steady work, breaks them all
down. They are not nearly SO intelli-
gent or such good workers as the Maron-
ties and Druses of the Lebanon. The
women of both races are not at all pre-
possessing; it is rare to see face even
tolerably good looking, and their figures
and voices are very Objectionable. The
Turkish women veil their faces, which is
an advantage. The women do great
deal of manual Intoxicating water,
accompanying their lords to the corn;
they help in everything except plough
ing and sowing. It is odd to see the
parties in the fields reaping, almost al
ways one man to two women, both Greek
and Turkish alike. The children are
pretty, some with faxen hair and cherub
faces. The Turkish children are not
nearly so pretty as the Greek. From

How TO TEAcH.-C Children hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They will
learn with pleasure from the lips of people
what would be drudgery to learn from
books; and even if they have the misfor-
tune to be deprived of many educational
advantages, they will grow up intelligent,
if in childhood they hear daily the con-
versation of intelligent people. Hence,
the importance that the teacher should
be an Intelligent person. The child comes
home and says, 'sWhat do you think my
teacher told us to-day ?" The daily eff.
fort of the teacher should be to render
himself fresh and bright, to meet with
the young minds that form the class; not
to think, How shall I repress and bottle
up all the energy?

SHELTERED ORCHARDS. Many writer's
advise the selection of sheltered spot
for an orchard, and some have even ad-
vised the planting of belt of quick
growing forest trees in such a position
that it will screen the orchard from high
winds. A Maine farmer says: We're 7
to plant an orchard, and had two loca-
tions, one in q valley surrounded by hills
except on the south side, and the other
on high elevation, exposed to high
winds, I would choose the latter in pref
erence to the former. The same holds
good as regards peach orchards. The
great object is to keep back the blooming
as long as possible, and this can be best
done in northern exposures, without
shelter

Whom Victoria Has Outlived.

And now she looks back on the two and
forty years of her reign, what changes
has her majesty seen in the personnel of
her privy council, her parliament and
her cabinet ministers, to say nothing of
her judicial and episcopal bench! She
has outlived every bishop and every
Judge whom she found seated on those
benches in England, Scotland and Ire
land. She has witnessed the funeral of
every premier who has served under her
axceIt Lord Beaconsfield and Mr.. Glad
stone. Not single cabinet minister of
her uncle and predecessors days now
survives; and of those who held inferior
offices under her first and favorite pre-
mier, Lord Melburne, she can find among
the living only Lord Halifax then Mr..
Charles Wood) and Lord Howick (now
Lord Grey.
OF the members of the privy council
which sat at Kensington palace on that
bright summer morning in June, 1887
to administer the oaths to the girlish
queen, I can find in the land of the living
only four individuals-Mr. George s..
Bying (now Lord Staford) Lord Robert
Grosvenor (now Lord Ebury) and the
veteran Earl of Wilton.
Indeed, it may be said that her majesty
has lived to receive at court, in very
many, perhaps in most, instances, the
successive wearers of the same coronet,
and she has been four Lords Beauchamp,
four Lords Aberdeen, four Dukes of
Newcastle, four Dukes of Northumber-
land, and five Lords Rodney. She has
received the homage of four Arch bishops
of Canterbury, of four Archbishops of
York, and five Bishops of Chichester,
Litchfeld and Durham, successfully.
She has filed each of the three Chief
Justiceships twice, at least; she has re-
ceived the address of four successive
speakers of the House of Commons; she
has entrusted the great seal of the king
dom to no less than nine different Lord
Chancellors, and she has commissioned
eight successive Premiers to form no less
than thirteen different administrations.

They have passed a law in Mas

An observer in Boston writes that

the door open, which was something
unusual. On entering the apartment
she saw the body of Mrs. Hull bound

other piece was tied across her eyes,
and o gag was firmly tied IN her
mouth, A piece Of shawl was strap

TIE Philadelphia Times 10


THE Philadelphia Times loses its
balance on the fence as it mentions
the x-C~onfederate meeting at Win
chester last week as q Grant mass
meeting, and climbs down on the
stalwart side TO remark, with a fair
derree Of spirit:
All the South has to do to make
the election of Grant as certain as any
event 10 the future is to get up q few
more Winchester celebrations, unfurl
q few more rebel flags, sing o few
more rebel songs, and have a few
more orators tell the country how pa
trictie a monument rebellion was, and
how grand thingthe South attempt
ed when It decided to overthrow, by
causeless war, the noblest govern
ment Of the world. Whenever If shall
be deemed necessary to choose some
body President whose election will
settle the fact that there has been a
var and that the government wasn't
exactly overthrown, the name of the
President will be Ulysses S. Grant.
1t is generally believed that be had
something to do with the war, and
that be knows something about the
final issue of the conflict, aud people
won't get cross-eyed looking over the
field to see which side was victor and
which was vanquished, if they can
have Grant in the Presidential chair
as a front sight for their bewildered
onties.
