THE ANCIENT GREEKS.
A People That Paid More for Festivals
Than for Wars.

Bancroft. using pretty freely the re-
searches of Boeckh on the public economy
of the Athenians, grouped some curious
and instructive matter says the PittSburg
Chronicle
The time referred to followed the Per-
sian wars and preceded Alexander. 1t APP
pears that the purchasing power of 81 in
Athens was about equal to 81 now. The
value of gold compared with silver was
about as 10 to l. Athens would not have
a iebased coinage.
The population of Attica was about 500
600: of these 365. 900 were slaves. Athens
| had 10000 houses Great quantities of
arms, various kinds of cloths and cutlery
ware exposed. No law prohibited the ex-
portation of specie. Commerce was in
active in the winter season.
III the domestic market the retail trade
was opened to all citizens, and to foreign
ers who paid a tax Thirty dollars was the
average price of an acre of good land in
Attica. Landed estimates where small
and greatly subdivided An able-bodied
slave was worth $50.
No corn was allowed to be exported No
ship laden with it could touch at an Attic
port without selling at least two-thirds of
its cargo. The laws threw hindrances in
the way of buying up all that was in the
market. All attempts to forestall and
monopolize We're prohibited under the
penalty of death. A good cloak cost
$50. A good pair of woman's shoes 50
cents. Manual labor could be procured
for 10 cents day.
The fares in travelling were small From
Egypt to Pontus Soc. Generals in the
army were paid 81 goa day. One per cent.
a month was the usual rate of interest.
There was no legal restriction of usury
Imprisonment for debt was not allowed
The daily pay of a Judge was TIC.
The revenue of Athens in the days of its
prosperity was 81. 100000 The public
buildings We're numerous, costly and SPLEEN
did. The festivals were a source of great
extravaganza.
Demosthenes said: You never postpone
your festivals and you lavish on them
larger sums then you expend for the naval
service, but your fleets away arrive too
late"
Count the cost of their tragedies, said
Plutarch; you will find that their Edi-
puses and Antigones and Medeas and Elact-
ras cost more than their wars for suprem-
acy with the other Greeks and their Strug-
giles for freedom against the barbarians. -
Certainly very interesting people.

THE FARM And HOUSEHOLD.
IN SEPTEMBER.
ST. NICHOLAS

Mornings frosty grow and cold.
Brown the grass on hill and void;
Crows are cawing sharp and clear,
Where the rustling corn grow scar;
Mastering fiocks of blackbirds call;
Here and there afew leaves fall,
In the meadows larks sing sweet.
ChIrps the cricket at our feet
In September.
Moons are sunny, warm and still;
\ golden haze o 'erhangs the hill;
Amber sunshine's on the floor
just within the open door;
Sui the crickeTs call and creak-
Never found. though long We seek
on comes faint report of gun;
Busy flies buzz in the sun
In September.
Evenings chilly are, and damp,
Early lighted i the lamp;
Fire burns and kettle sings,
Smoke ascends in small blue rings:
On the rug the children lie,
In the west the soft lights die:
From the elms a robins song
Rings out sweetly, fingers long.
In September.

Francis 7. of France it may be remember
ed wrote one day with a diamond on the
window of the chateau of Chambord these
words: "A woman changes oft v Ac-
cording to Mr.. Jefferson, in his Brides
and Brides, it was partly due to tickle
ness and hesitancy that women were prone
to do the very thing which, at the mo-
ment of doing it, they declared they would
never do. Thus one adage tells US how
maids say nay, and take kiss, ring or
an offer of marriage" On the same prin-
ciple it has been commonly said. Take
a woman first advice and not her second. -"
The reason for this is that women are apt
to surpass men in quickness of intuition,
having to quote Dr. Trench's words.
''What Montaigne ascribes to them is a
remarkable word, Esprit Prime-Sau-tier
the leopards spring which takes its
pray. if it be to take it at all. at the first

But vet woman: and for secrecy
No lady closer: for well believe

'
No lady closer: for we'll believe
Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know.
And so far will trust thee gentle Kate
Accordingly, there is familiar proverb,
"A woman concealS what she does not
know. Similarl y the Spanish are wont to
say, 10 a woman and magpie tell what
YOU would speak in the market place. -
But this, it must be admitted, is an unfair
reproaCh, woman being as capable of
keeping secret as one of her opposite sex.
Indeed, as Mr.. Kelly remarks in his book on
proverbs, IF there be truth in proverbs
men have no right to reproach women for
blabbmg. A woman can at least keep her
own secret. Try her on the subject of her
age. The industry of women has long
been proverbial, as in the couplet:
'The woman that's honest, her chiefest delight
Is stlll to be doing from morning till night"
With which we may compare the COM
mon maxim, "A woman's work is never
at an end. On the other hand it was
formerly said of the woman who after be-
ing busy, industrious maid became an
lndolent wife: She hath broken an
elbow at the church door, the ceremony
of the church porch-where oftentimes
part of the marriage was performed
having disabled her for domestic duties
Thus another adage affirmed how
The wife that expects to have a good name
Is always at home, as if she were lame"
According to our forefathers. it did not
look well for woman to be always sight
seeing as such was an indication that she
was not sufficiently domeSticated and was
too fond of pleasure. Hence it was usually
said:
