Kennan. the Siberian Traveller.

Mr.. George Kennan, who has recently
sprung into such fame as. q Siberian traveller,
is not at oil the sort of person one would
fancy from his writings. In appearance he
is slender. pale and shy, and his manners are
retiring and modest. He must have started
with constitution Of iron, and he is much
tougher now than he looks. He is in tie
employ of the Associated Press at Washing
ton, where he does valued but unnoticed
routine work For years he helped out his
salary by lectures in small places on his wan
derings, which were always attractive but not
striking enough to give him general repu-
tation. But his chance came when The Cen
tury opened it's pages to his story.
This may safely be said Of it, that Kennan,
unlike many travellers both before and after
Mendez, sticks to the truth. He can afford
to do so, for he has had some Of the toughest
adventures man ever lived through to tell
about. he has told me of one Of these expe-
riences which have not seen in print. While
on one of his Siberian trips he was attacked
by fever, and lay for three weeks delirious
in squalid hut on sheepskin for bed,
quite alone and helpless, save for the friendly
care Of the natives. Such an episode as that
would have made most men content after
ward to stay nearer home, especially if they
had so charming woman for wife as Mrs.
Kennan is. But of he went again, on some
Incredible jaunt, as soon as he was able to
to start.-Once Week

A Chance to Make Money.

There has not, in many years, been a better
opening for giant than now, SO the show
men say. Any man who measures ~ feet
can almost fx his own price. That stature
has never been exceeded SO far as modern
authentic history tells, except by Chang, the
Chinaman, whom Barnum exhibited for sew
.eral years. He lacked only three inches Of
being 8 feet. Chang was an educated man
DARN Of refined tastes, and after accumulat-
ing $50, 900, enough to make him Wander
bilt in China, he returned to his native land.
No offers have since tempted him to become
an exhibit again, and he used to declare that
only desire to journey in all civilized lands
induced him to make his tour, which lasted
six years. Peter Feketi, the Hungarian
giant, whose death was reported recently,
was to come to America during the winter.
He was Z feet and very heavy. The
American giants Of recent times, Capt.
Goshen and Anna Swan, were all less than
that in stature and they are all dead Of con-
sumption, the common destroyer Of such
overgrown persons. There is not ct present

Women as Dramatists.

.sWhy is it, Mr.. Boucicault, that so few
women have achieved success as dramatistsr'
Because they have not the power Of in
vention. It is in intellect-as in almost
every thing else in this world that the male
being is creative. And then the woman has
not the logic Of events or the mechanism Of
construction. She cannot put together
slowly piece by piece with one single aim and
end in view. Her intellect and nature are
discursive and episode. She walks for q
while on a straight road, but is tempted from
It BY some pretty winding lane, or she dallies
too long in some shady nook"
Yet in novels women have shown inven.
tion, and some Of the situations conceived BY
them have been remarkably effective on ths
stagen
'Admittedl In narrative form the woman
often succeeds because the tendencies / have
pointed out do not then become OF appear a.
defects In the very few instances in which q
woman has made q success as playwright
she has been like Mma de Girardin or George

The Schools Of Greece.

The present king, George !, came to the
throne in 1858. Under his reign educational
affairs have moved on faster than ever, until
today there are 1900 elementary schools for
boys attended by 72,O00 scholars, go schools
for girls, attended BY 10000 scholars; there
are over 500 teachers, male and female,
most Of them holding certificates from the
normal school, 8s1 secondary schools with
/, 400 teachers and assistants, and with more
than 1900 pupils, IS gymnasiums with 216
instructors and 4,772 pupils, university
with four departments, 100 professors and
2,402 students, half dozen normal schools
which have supplied over 5000 teachers Of
late years, a polytechnic school at Athens
with "a instructors and 4s0 pupils, large
number Of private and ecclesiastical schhols,
several large orphanages, as well as night
schools in the larger places.
In 1885 the communes gave for primary
education 2,225, 900 drachmai, and the gov
ernment 100000; and in the same year the
budget contained 8, 100000 drachmai as the
government contribution to higher and sec
ondary education. The effect of all this
combined effort has been that illiteracy is
rapidly disappearing, and the next genera

CaFelsss Expressions Which Are Really In

When We come to think Of it, almost every
body swears Not downright, up and up,
out and out swear, to be sure, but some sort
of makeshift for an oath falls now and
then from almost everybody's lips. There
are times when what are popularity known
as 'scuss words" seem the only thing to fil

icance and evil virility, and survive merely

peculiarities Of the Jail Bird.

The liberated Jail bird is study for the
close observer of human nature and charac-
ter. He looks nervously over his shoulder
at every step, as if suspicious Of being fol-
lowed, and is half inclined to break into
run or to dive into the first secure alleyway
that presents itself. Il is apparent from the
expression on each mans face that he can
hardly realize that he is free once mora
His independence actually oppresses him and
makes him i'll at ease. There is something
about his clothes, too, that he cannot seem
to forget. However old they may be, they
have at least certain feeling of newness to
him, and he keeps constantly looking down
at his wrinkled trousers, gives his coat sleeves
a Strengthening pull every thirty seconds, or
brushes some particularly dirty spot that he
observes on his vest with the palm of his
hand Then he takes off his hat to make
sure that it is not the striped one he has
worn for the past six months, and when he
convinces himself that it is not he replaces it
upon his shaven head again with grim salts
faction.
The chances are that the Jail bird will have
| a friend awaiting him outside the gate. or
perhaps the wife whom he short time ago
almost murdered will be there with baby
in her arms, forgetting how he abused her
and ready to welcome him back again On
the other hand, if no one comes to receive
him he will, as soon as he reaches the first
crossing, come to sudden halt, with uncer-
tain resolve which way to go. There are
| only three directions to choose from, that is
certain; but which to take it is not little diff
cult to decide. Had he coin in his pocket
! it would be a toss up; but he is, unfortu-
nately, not overburdened with wealth. Sud-
denly, however, he will hurry down down
town, and in q moment is lost in the crowd,
on his way no one knows where. That same
evening you may. perchance, see him sitting
on one of the Battery Park benches, where
If he happens to fall asleep he will be arrested
