The Old oaken Bucket.

The Old Oaken Backed" was
written fifty or more years ago by a
printer named Samuel Woodwork.
He was in the habit of dropping into
a noted drinking saloon kept by one
Mallory. One day after drinking a
glass of brandy and water, he smack
ed his lips and declared that Mallory's
brandy was superior to any driak he
had ever tasted.
"No," said Mallory, you are mis-
taken. There was a drink in both
our estimation that far surpassed
this.
"What was that?9 increduously
asked Woodworth.
The fresh spring ofwater We used
to drink from the old oakea bucket
that hung in the we'll, after returning
from the field on a sultry day.
Every true, replied Woodworth,
the tears glistening ike pearl drops
in his eyes.
Returning to his printing Office,
he seated himselfat the desk and be-
gan to write. IN haitian hour

Modern Life in the Grecian Capital

The following extracts from prl-

Providence gentleman from an Ameri
can student in Athens, Greece. viii
prove of general interest: 81 live in
a Greek family" he writes, "where
we speak only Greek. The house is
on Eolus street with Socrates Euripi
des and Hermes Streets not far of; so
that you can easily imagine the hal
lowed associations that are daily sug-
gested. Our maid Of all work, is
named Athena. There are twenty
eight newspapers in the city. | can
count dozen dailies on my fingers,
and | presume there are others of
which | have not yet heard. With
that number of papers, and $50 law
yers, as many priests and dozen
thousand soldiers, the $4,000 people
in Athens are pretty well supplied
with these appurtehances Of life. The
city is very modern, though in some
parts it does not look 50; but where
dirt is allowed to accumulate, it soon
makes things look hoary. l suppose
Athens is a type or better than the
type, of all Oriental cities, and that
where people can make meal off
piece Of bread and bunch of grapes
industry is not necessary. But ]
have not seen 4 mandatory in the
city, aside from the little shops of a
few handicraftsmen. The whole town
has grown up about the palace of the
King. The rich men are those who
have or are making fortunes elsewhere
and live here for society The Uni
versity of Athens has 2500 students,
1900 of them in law, and two-thirds
ofthem destined to be farmers--for
many of the law students will never
practice that profession There are
hundreds of wine shops always well
filed. The streets are full Of busting
men, but they are hound for nowhere.
At the Piaeus (the harbor city, there
are %, 900 people engaged in active
industry. Besides the foreign ship
ping there is a considerable eoasting
trade in farm produce. The people
here are very proud. but the glory of
dead past is only bond of unity
and patriotism, not support of in
dividual life. There are no parties
ON public questions, only cliques sup
porting certain leaders with their
policies, which may or may not be
different.

Petroleum as a Preserver of Wood

The New York Tribune has an ar
ticIe by j. j. Thomas recommending
petroleum as an excellent preseryer
for wood We would publish it but
for its length. The application OF
the lighter oil gives bright appear
ance TO the wood, and the heavy oil
makes it dark. Shingles and rus
tic structures exposed to the wea-
Their have been found perfectly sound
after sixteen years. The article gives
special instructions rs TO the best
methods of applying, but it is easily
done, the main object being to have
the wood dry 50 as to absorb readily,
and then to use plenty Of the oil.
