DR. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES says some
people found fault with Matthew Arnold because
there was no humor in his composition The
genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Table does not
share in this feeling. He says: MY impression
isthat he was a sincere man, devoted to lettering
the race, and too busy or too desply impressed
with his duty to look at anything in other than
serious light I believe in good joke, in wit
and humor. but man can do tho world great
deal of good without any of these qualities

MINOR MENTION.

THE recent failure of Moses Fraley, the ST.
Louis grain Spectator. for half million dol
lars. seems to have been merely the collapse of
a gambling game The st. Louis Globe-Demo-
Graf says: 1T is doubtful il Mr.. Fraley ever
had 50 much as carload of grain in his posses
sion in all his lfe and yet it is given ont that he
has held millions of bushels from time to time.
The whole thing is "a fiction of the most glaring
and mischievous description When such a
man Easbe the event has no meaning SO far IS

cerrtd. IL only signifies that bubble has

DR. GEEEADIUs, minister from Greece to the
court of ST. James. Is now in Washington on
special mission to this country relative TO COM
merciAi matters. Like most educated Greeks
he is q very cultivated gentleman. Talking
with reporter he said when the ineepenc-
encs Of Greece was established, now nearly
sixty years ago, there were less than 100000
souls left in the kingdom out of 100000 The
rest persisted in that long and heroic struggle
for freedom. The Turks completely devastated
the country during the war. They left not q
house standing; they burnt the crops and every
tree from Che ground. and the fig trees, which,
being succulent, will not burn, were cut down.
There is not now q dwelling house in Greece
that is much over forty years old. and Greece as
she is to-day is the growth of less than two
generations. In this time the population has
increased from 700. 900 to over 100000. the
cities have been rebuilt. the far. cultivated,
and the people are as quiet and enterprising as
you Will find along the Mediterranean" The
present population of Greece proper is about
1900, 600. but the number of Greeks scattered
throughout the Greek islands, in Asia Minor,
etc.. is nearly 100000, making the total about
5000. 900.

Warm weather commences here in May,
and the heat becomes extreme during the
months Of June, July and August; in
September the rains begin. A hot wind
occasionally makes its appearance, and
such is the fury of the whitening blast
that it seems to scorch the skin like q
furnace. 1t comes when least expected,
and continues sometimes for four and
twenty hours. 1t is a remarkable circum-
stance that it does not extend more than
a league from the coast, seward, and
that while it prevails fresh water depos-
tied in jars continues deliciously cool,
even in summer.
Fortunately for the people who live
here, the night air is not Injurious, as it
is in many semi-tropical countries, for
when the warm weather is fairly begun
the inhabitants, rich and poor, are obliged
to abandon the interior of their houses
and pass the nights In the corridors and
c~ourtyards;" the poorer class lie on blankets
in the streets in front of their huts. The
purity of the atmosphere, the dryness of
the soil and the, purifying effects of the
winds which sweep over this country all
end to make this Il very salubrious
climate. The death rates are
attributed entirely to epidemics aggra-
waited by unhealthful sanitary conditions;
there is no sewerage and the streets are
filthy. In spite of this the longevity of
those living here is remarkable; several
are more thar 100 years of age, and two
have attained, one to ia and the other to

Tho Goldfish Disappearing.

In about another decade the American
and Canadian legislative bodies will not
be absorbed with arguments on the homo
and habits of the festive Goldfish. He is
slowly disappearing from our coasts, and
the banks of Newfoundland which knew
him once know him no more. Fishermen
now practice deep sea fishing with very
poor results, as the cod seems to fight shy
of all bait. While we consider these facts
our attention is directed to the other side
of the globe, where immense schools of
Goldfish are reported or the west coast Of
Africa, although they have never been
heard of in that quarter before. They
must nave grown tired of the eternal
~squabbling about their feeding grounds
and nave emigrated to neutral territory.
Queer, isn't itl About the opening Of the
next century Goldfish will be a rare deli
cacy, and in 1880 or thereabouts the secret
of that delightful democratic dish known
as the goldfish ball will only linger as a
memory in the chronicles of the cuisine.

The people Of Shiraz are celebrated
throughout Persia for their gay and fes-
tive dispositions. While the average
Persian, outside the nobility, is a calcu~
lating, mercenary trader and trafficker,
the Shirazi is a gallant, a beau, a free
liver. The best soldiers in Persia are at
Shiraz, and the LOWEST women; from
Shiraz also issue hundreds of lutis OF
buffoons who wander about all over the
empire, singing, tomtoming, and exhibit
ing trained monkeys.
Persepolis, believed to lave been a
mighty city before the birth of Babylon,
and about the earliest home of pomp,
wealth n magnihcence, is situated near
Shiraz. The old pagan kings and nobility
of Persepolis were royal wassailers.
Drunkenness and revelry were carried to
an extreme in the marble halls of this
ancient Iranian capital that we of to-day
little dream Of. One has but to taste the
famous Cholar wine, note the curious
difference between the Shirazis and other
Persians of today, and then look up at
the old ruins of Persepolis to come to the
conclusion that the three things have
some mysterious connection.-Thomas
Stevens in New York Sun.

Cuban villages or preblos have always
interested me deeply. They are of little
Importance as we measure things. There
is nothing about them in architecture or
human activities to make them worthy of
account. They are seldom populous and
are never busy. In them and between
them, enterprise, rivalry, aspiration, are
unknown. But on this great earth are
not other spots so full of simplicity and
effortless rest.
There are just enough people in them
to make human presence an agreeable
consciousness. There is never any labor
done In any way that tires. Nobody
hurries. There is no fretting or Tuning
about anything. No'one is supposed to
be in haste. Nor could any such notion
ever come to surprise and annoy the
mind. Every animate or inanimate OBJ
ject seems at rest. II you desire to set
a Cuban village in an uproar of indignant
wonderment, you have only to hint of To-
ing, or of desiring something ion quick
ly. Even the winds that blow move in
soft and soothing breezes, eloquent of list
less dreamfulness. The birds sing in
subdued notes as II half asleep. Univer-
sal siesta rests Upon everything. The
very air wings narcotic, and pulses balm,
to the sense and soul Despite your own
contempt for Cuban Illumination, after a
little, your best efforts are overcome; you
yield to the insensible sirens of scene
and scent and sound; and the enthrall-
e possesses o wholly.-Edgar L.
Wakeman in New York Mail and Express.

1t is useless for a housekeeper to at
tempt economy with colored servants.
Their ways are naturally wasteful, and
they entertain a scorn for all attempts at
thrifty management. A lady whose war

fore she discovered that their detection was

Servants out of employment time their

clude at least one meal hour of the family;
and the cooks husband, son or fourth
cousin usually appears during the progress
of dinner to escort his relative home and
to assist in the transportation of any I'M

ersing the streets of New Orleans at night
fall and seeing the hundreds of homeward
bound cooks, each with her sagging basket
upon her arm, would imagine the whole
colored population to be on the way to a
picnic. They are merely, however, trans
porting what they seem to regard as their
rightful spoil of food, and wood, and coal.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class OF
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the ympnthy and
best services OF the profession 10 which we be
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physicians who devotes himself
TO relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less u
philanthrophist and n benefactOr to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plicatton eNcels IN any other branch of his pro-
iession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
