A Palace In Flames.
THE ROYAL RESIDENCE AT ATHENS BURNT
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

The Royal Palace at Athens has been
burned. Several firemen and sailors
were injured while fighting the flames
The royal residence in Athens was
a building with a plain facade, having
behind it magnificent garden, where
the pine rustled to the palm and thou
sand statues cleaned. 1t was built by
Leo Won Reenze.S Beyond rose the cone
of Lycabettus. The yestibule of the
palace was too depressed to answer even
the promise of its mediocre exterior,
and the staircase was narrow and
clumsy. The palace was constructed of
Pentelican marble. The bathrooms were
large, nobly planned and decorated with
taste. There were three in all, con-
nected with lofty Ionic doorways of
white marble, the fillets and volutes of
the capitals relieved by gliding. Their
height was fully sixty feet, with length
and breadth proportionate. The walls
were of scagliola, with an ornamental
frieze at half their height, above which
they Yars painted in the Pompeiian
style. th their magnificent embel-
lishment these bathrooms could scarce
ly have been equalIed outside of st.
Petersburg.

Id MORT.

The Day is dead. See how his lfe-blood dyei
The soft cloud-pillows in the western skies.
What tho a smile still glorifiss his eyes
tell you he is dead Why loiter here
Till those unsightlY proofs OF death appear,
And the sad Night drops tears upon his bier!
Nay, let us go, while yet the skies are red,
Ere Darkness draws the curtains of his bed,
Our last look finds him beautiful, tho3dead.
Dear Love is dead; slain by his own delight,
What tho his feverish cheek is strangely
bright,
tell you he lies dead in all his might.
Let us not wait till on his rigid face
There rests no lingering luster, and no trace
Of his surprising beauty and young grace;
Ere round his stiffening frame. from head to
feet,
Safety shall fold her winding sheet,
While his still form, tho dead, is fair and
sweet.
Let us shake hands. There is no more to say.
We part with Love until the Judgment Day
This is the end of dreams like ours Away.

Some Figures on Wheat.

GIRL WHO WAS NOT SOLD FOR A FARM. 49,
A despatch from Port Jervis, n. Y, says: A
wealthy middle aged vidower named Doni-
nick Mines owns a farm on the border OF
Wayne and Luzerne counties, Pennsy lvania.
1t is occupied by farmer named Obert with
whom Mines has boarded with his children
Obert's daughter Lena ID q pretty girl OF Is
years. Both Obert uud his wife are noted
for being extremely close fstod, and for an
almost insane desire to be rich. A month or
so ago Mines offered TO make deed Of farm
near the one on which Obert lived, il Obert
would give him his daughter in marriage.
Although the daughter was entirely ignorant
of the fact that the wdower Mines desired to
marry her, her parents eagerly accepted his
offer. They said nothing to the girl about
their intentions towards her and Mines never
alluded to the subject in his daily conversa-
tion with her. The Oborts began at once to
prepare for the wedding, which was set down
for the evening of October /. Week before

as to what the occasion OF the party was to
be. The people who were invited were also
not informed of the true character of the
gathering. The fact that the Oberts were to
give party created great surprise in the
neghborhood, as they had never been known
before to extend the slightest hospitality to
any one. A new dress was ordered for Lena
and it was brought home from Scranton by
her father on the afternoon of the party.
With it were so many things that suggested
bridal apparel that the girl laughingly said TO
her mother that if she wore them people
would think she was to be bride. Her moth

The ST.. PAUL Pioneer Press complains
bitterly of the suffering Of it's own state and
city from pauper Immigrants II immigrants
with their fare paid only to New York are un-
able to show any means Of support, they are
refused permission to land and the steamship
company has to carry them back home, and
to get around this the assisted immigration"
managers in Europe have adopted the plan OF
buying tickets through to the West and os-
pecally TO Minnesota. Then the paupers pass
through New York unquestioned, and in Mimi
esota they are beyond the reach of the immi-
grant authorities. So the state is loaded down
with the sick and aged from Europe who
must inevitably become public charge, sent
by their governments or friends to get rid Of
them, and then each county goes on repeating
the getting rid" performance. The unfortu-
mates are sent out Of communities before their
year Of residence necessary to give them a
legal claim upon the public expires, and so
they go from one place TO another until they
reach one of the larger cities, where such
matters cannot we'll be attended to, and there
they stay.

TEN MEN SWEET INTO LAKE MIcmdAN. -
Ten men employed in the construction of the
new water tunnel under Lake Michigan for
the village Of Hyde Park, south OF Chicago,
we're drowned in plain view of that village on
Wednesday morning of last week. They and
four others were employed in sinking the
tunnel and constructing new crib at point
one mile from shore. Above the crib had
been constructed a platform about 40 feet
square, supported by poles bound together
with heavy chains. Upon this platform was
a small cabin, in which the men had slept
and eaten their meals for three weeks The
platform was supported by heavy tmbers
resting on piles. About 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning the sea became so heavy that por-
tions of the platform were washed away. The
men awoke about $50 and found the spray
from every wave washing the side of their
hut. Nevertheless they got breakfast, and
ate it. The storm continued to increase in
fury, and finally great wave struck the cab
lin aud carried it into the boiling sea, and
| with ii every man upon the frail structure.
Twelve of the men succeeded in climbing up
| on the huge stringers, where, lying face down,
with their arms around the beams, they
awaited the arrival Of assistance. Every mo
ment increased their danger aud the waves
with terrible force tore four of them one by
one from their anchorage. In the mean time
the crew Of the Chicago life saving station
had been sent to their rescue. They arrived
at the scene about II O'Clock, and when they
were within throwing distance a line wRs
made fast by the almost drowning men to the
| timbers and drawn tRut from the boat. The
eight survivors then tried TO work through
the surf to the boat, but only four succeeded
in making the journey. One of these was
washed from the line, but he succeeded with
the aid of plank in reaching the shore.

Something for the Wide Awake 1O-
yenr-OId boy so Think Over.

But, as 1 told you at the outset, if you have
arrived at the age of Is or 16, it is time you
looked matters square in the face and had
some idea of your future. II you were to ans
wer at once, you would say that you would
take profession in preference to trade. A
profession means several years of hard study,
quite large cash outlay, and then trials and
rebuffs to get start in business. It is one
thing to graduate as lawyer or a doctor, and
quite another to pick up clients and patients.
If you have fully decided on profession be
careful of your first move. If you have a
large head, your grandmother has doubtless
many times exclaimed: "What a great law
yer this boy would make" Don't try to make
one on the size of your head. We've got any
number of that class in the country now, and
they can't pay their grocers' bills. If you can
pull silver out of your finger without wink
ing, it may be sign that you would make
great surgeon. 1t may also be a sign that
you are born to be butcher.
How will you know what to pursue Your
own feelings are the safest guide. If left to
your parents and to circumstances, you may
be forced into trade or profession which you
can never make a success. When you come
to realize that you must make your own way
in life, your particular forte will be apt to re-
veal itself One of the best lawyers in De-
troit was intended for the ministry another

penter, don't be satisfied when you can saw

81 per day. Make yourself worth $3. Mas
ter details and push yourself from carpenter
to builder. Don't imagine that a man in
search of a lawyer walks down the street and
stops at the first sign hanging out. 1t is the
lawyer who has climbed above his fellows
that he seeks out. If our friends are i'll we
want the best doctor. We want the man who
has made himself the best by study and ener-
gy. The blacksmith who is content to mend
old wagons will never iron a new one. The

be better of. It is the men who put their
heart into what they do who succeed.-De-

Most thoughtful people have probably won
dered why it is that a single attack Of certain
infectious diseases usually affords the sur,

Tyndall, who suggests that just as the soil

incapable Of producing another, so in the hu-
man system a parasitic disease may so com

necessary to the growth and propagation of

be impossible. From this it would appear

GEN. GoRDoS's METHODS OF DISCIPLINE 49,

toum. Among other things il is related that
in battle on March 16 he ordered two ma.
tive chiefs to be instantly put to death for
treachery. This is his old way. Gordon
shares all hardships with his soldiers but he
Furnishes with death the first sign of disobe-
dience to orders. When suppressing the
Taeping rebellion in China, a number OF ma
tive officers signed a round-robin protest
against an order that there should be no pill
lage. He instantly commanded all of them
to be put to death. One old fellow raised
such an outcry at this that Gordon concluded
he was the ringleader, and his head was of
in an instant. Then the rest all fell on their
knees begging for mercy, and it proved that
Gordon was right in his suspicious SO he
spared their lives This seems like cruelty
but it is the only way discipline can be main
tanned among the people with whom he is
dealing They fear nothing but death.
