Americas cultured girls are very lovely. But
how about the uncutured girls; those who fill
the kitchen and dairy of the farm houses, and
whose best aspirations crushed with the
slow drying out of muscle and brain from the
overwOrk that enables the cultured girls to
travel around the world gathering plaudits for
| their loveliness? When we remember that one
cultured girl represents the defrauded lives of
a hundred other girls, we are slower to express
our admiration than we would be if her culture
were her own honest possession. Alas. cul-
ture, no less than every other boon in life, has
its roots-like many another noble plant-down
in hidden earth where it is fed by system of
eXtortion at the expense of other plants. I'm

PRIMITIVE OLYMPUS.
Life in an Ancient Town Which Has Not
Progressed With the Rest of the World.

Life in an Ancient Town Which Has Not
Progressed With the Rest of the World.
In the village of Olympus much of
the primitive old life is left. The men
carry the thick hair garments which
their wives weave at home, they wear
their hair long and shaggy, and they
Govern themselves by a sort of parlia-
mant. which meets once year in the
village church. We were present at
one of these meetings, and were struck
by the Difference shown to the elders
and the attention which younger men
paid to the words which fell from their
mouths At their feasts the same defer
ence to old age is manifest; the elders
sing first those idyls which are
only found on Karpathos, and
are of a genuine archaic type.
Very few of them can write or read.
and any one that does SO is honored at
once with the title of Diakos, or Dea-
con, and is a person of great impor-
tance at the assemblies, for he it is who
keeps the minutes. and can write down
pretty nearly what he pleases, sitting
cross-legged, with the inkstand on the
ground before him. By the stream
which flows down narrow valley from
Olympus to the sea great reeds grow
which are often used for the ceilings of
their fat-roofed houses and for hedges.
This they call nartheka, a survival of the
old word for the reed by which Prone
theus brought down fire from heaven.
And one can easily imagine the origin
of this myth by watching the customs
of to-day. A peasant housewife of
Olympus, who wishes to carry light
from one house to another, will put the
embers into one of these reeds to pre-
vent it being extinguished. - Fortnight
