A Home for lowa's Soldiers

WATERLOO, Ia, Jan. 31.-Col Ebcr-
hart, quartermasteT of tho Iowa Soldiers
home, gives few interesting facts in re-
gard to the condition of the home. There
are at present ninety-two inmates of
whom all but eighteen are American born
Twenty. five of the men are farmers. A
goodly proportion of the other men came
from poor houses. Others came from the
homes at Quincy, Lcavenworth, and Day.
ton, and most of the men came from
small towns and villages, the larger towns
contributing as follows; Dubuque, Des
Moines. and Davenport each two, Council
Bluff one and Burlington none. Of the
ninety-two inmates but eleven are mar.
ried. One native born Mexican finds a
home there, having served through the
rebellion in the Fifth Iowa cavalry. In
reply to the question of what improve.
ments were contemplated Col. Eberhari
said: Forty acres Of the grounds are
to be laid out i'll one of the handscmesi
parks in Iowa, and every effort will be
made to secure Grand Army reunions
there. Many of the boys come to the
home after years of existence in different
aims houses, completely broken in spirit
but the thought that they have no longel
to care for themselves, combined witt
the generous treatment accorded them
works wonders -

courtshin of Modern Greeks.

Scottish Review: There are certain old
women whose duty it is to carry the pro-
posal and bring back the answer. These
old women know many love potions,
which they administer for money. When
the old woman goes to propose she must
wear stockings of different colors. She
has on stockings of two oolors, says q
modern Greek rhyme. INC thinks we
shall have an offer If the proposal is
refused TIE young man is said ''to eat
Cruel. The cause of the frequency OF
these marriages de conYenance is to be
found in tse peculiar law of Inheritance
still in vogue in some of the remoter
islands. The elder daughter inherits
everything to the exclusion of her broth
ers and younger sisters. even her moth
er's embroidered garments and the slab on
which she says her prayers in church. In
other parts of Greece no girl can ever
| hope to find q husband until she has Il
house of her own; hence providing his
daughters with houses is an onerous duty
which falls 10 the lot of every paterfamil-
! ias, and this system results in leaving q
very large portion Of the female popnla-
tion to pass their days in single blessed
ncss, and where the above mentioned ma
/ triarchal system is still in vogue the pa-
rents always aspire To obtainifor theil
eldest daughter a good match, and tho
proposals always cone from the lady's
family.
