CoNsTANTINoPLB, July 15TH,


Regarding the Greek frontier question,
there are decided sy mptoms of u change Of
feeling 10 Ylldiz Kiosk aud IN the official
world OF STEAMBOAT. With The first semi
ments of surprise and Indignation excited
by the decisions of the Berlin Conference
were mingled q feeling of serious alarm
and an ilI.coucealed apprehension that the
Powers. helng united as to the new line
OF frontier, would combine to carry out by
force the decisions of their representatives.
1t would be, perhaps, too much to say that
this apprehension has now disappeared,
but it may be confidently asserted that it
has become much weaker during the last
few days, and the conviction seems to be
gaining ground that there is not any serl'
Gus danger of armed intervention on the
part of the Powers. The change is curious
but not difficult of explanation. The
wish was father to the thong ht, and the
thought, once formed, was iostered by
numerous slight indications, unimportant
when taken singly, but very significant.
it Is believed, when taken as q whole. In
the first place, there is the delay in COM
~municating the results of the Conference
W lHC WV AOWCiS OuACAJ hltOsOSbOuS
which is considered here as a proof that
there is a difference OF opinion regarding
the method of execution. Secondly, there
is the intelligence that the decisions of the
Conference are to be presented, without
menace or ultimatum, IN the form OF a sim
Pile recommendation. Thirdly, there is
some vague language of . German diplo-
matist, which is taken to mean that the
Porte's answer and objections to the re-
commentator will be seriously and impair
TALLY considered. Foufthly, there is the
natural tranquillizipg effect of time, which
induces mankind in general, the Turks in
particular, to believe that a dreaded catas-
trophe, because it does not come at once,
will probably not come at all. On this
theme a great deal may be heard at present
by those who frequent the upper ranks of
Turkish officials. 1--WE were told" say
many of these gentlemen" the new Eng
lish Ambassador was coming out with full
powers to reform or dismember the EN-
pire, and that we should be compelled to
choose without delay between the two al
ternatives. Well, Mr.. Goschen has been

one time, when the fcns and lake were H.

Ola Timber.

Probably the oldest timber IN the world
which has been subjected to the use of man
Is that found in the ancient temples of
Egypt in connection with the stoncwork
which is known to be at least four thousand
years old. This, the only wood used in
the construction Of the temple, is in the
form of ties, holding the end of ono stone
to another at its upper surface. When
two blocks were laid III place, an excava-
tion about an inch deep was made in each
block, into which a tic shaped like an hour
glass was driven. II IS therefore very
difficult to force any stone from It's posi-
ton. The tics appear to have been of the
tamarisk or shittem wood of which the
ark was constructed, sacred tree In au-
cicnt Egypt and now very rarely found in
the valley Of the Milo. The dovetailed tics
are just as sound now as on the day Of
their insertion. Althoughfuel Is extreme
ly scarce IN the country, these bits of wood
are not large enough to make it an object
with the Arabs to hoave off layer after
| layer to obtain them. Had they been OF
bronze half the old temples would have
been destroyed years ago, 20 precious would
! they have been for various purposes.

IBlue-Tinteti PaDer,

The origin OF bluc-tlntcd paper came
about bya mere slip of the hand. The
wife Of William East an English paper
maker, accidently let n bluc-bag fall into
one OF the watts of pulp. The workmcn
were astonishcd when they saw the peculiar
color OF the paper, while Mr. East was
highly incensed at what he considered Il
grave pccuniary loss. His wife was SO
much frightened that she would not confess
her agency in tho matter. After storing
the damaged paper for four years, Mr.. East
sent it to his agent at London, with in
structions to sell it for what it would bring.
The paper was accepted as a 'purposcd
novelty" and was disposed Of at quite an
advance over the market price. MIR. East
was astonishcd at receiving an order from
his agent for another large invoice of the
paper. He was without the secret and
found himself in dilemma. Upon men
tioning it to his wife, she told him about
the accident. lie kept tho secret, and the
demand for tho novel paper far exceeded
his ability to supply il.

creeping stealthily through the jimpson
weeds and sunfowers toward the lonely
frame den. Thoy reached the window and
peeped In. There sat tho long-legged pau

Uso OF Ev0l'grcens.

No suburban or country residence can
be considered complete without It's sur
roundings Of beautiful trees. Evcrgrcens
should be extensively employed, because
they add greatly to the beauty Of the sur
rounding scenery in the most gloomy part
of the year; but they should never be en-
ployed TO the exclusion Of the Leciduous
trees and shrubs. Extensive drives and
walks arc often bordcrcd with evergreen
trees; but usually tins displays bad taste,
inasmucn as the yield within such close
lines OF dense foliage becomes mono: :onous,
and the eye experiences safety instead Of
pleasing variety. With deciduous trees
the most charIing change Is continually
going on; from the bursting of the buds in
the spring Is one continual progressive ad-
vance from day to day.

goods low, but they run risk, of course.

My friend was musically inclined and

"Well, I'll give you $lS7 60 and take

But the willows tossing blowing,
Ger the waters smoothly flowing,
Evermore their shadows throwing,
Break the lun Of noon.
Twilight gathering In the valley,
Sunset on the height;
Clouds above the mountain breaking
Into riffs Of light.
Darkness now upon tho meadows,
Higher, higher climb the shadows,
Nearer comes the night.

With the willows dropping over,
But no shadows filful quiver
