How They Vote in Greece.

"Any man in Greece can be candidate
for any Office" says DR.. Constantine;
land when man announces himself as a
candidate, the government must provide
q ballot box for him. If ten men an
nounce themselves as candidates for
Mayor, separate box is set up for each
candidate and every voter must vote in
each of the ten boxes"
"Then each candidate would get the
same number of votes, should think"
s:That is possible, It I never knew it
to happen. Let me explain a little
further.
"We vote with black and white balls.
Each ballot is divided into black and:
white compartment with a funnel in
the middle. Every voter is given white
balls and black balls, and putting his
hand down in the funnel, drops them as
he chooses. A white ball is for and a
black ball against man. If the citizen
wishes to vote for Mr.. A, and for him
only, he drops white ball into his box
and black balls into the other nine (there
are ten candidates), or he can vote for
two of the candidates-or for the whole
ten if he choos IS, his vote being really Of
no account in tlat case, of course. The
man who has most white balls in his box
is elected. When two representatives are
to be elected, the man having the next
highest number of white balls gets the
second place, and so on"

DEPTH TO PLANT SEED.

No infallible rule can be given for this.
Even in the same locality the condition
lbf the soil and variations of the seasons
will make a considerable difference in
his respect, Even opinions will differ
as to the proper depth for planting. In
J cold, wet soil, and especiallyif inclined
b be stiff, seed should be planted near
he surface; in a more sandy or loamy
bill, deeper covering will be better.
If the soil is warmer and moist, plant
little deeper, and if dry, still deeper.
a certain stage or degree OF warmth
and moisture is essential in order to Sc
cure good termination of the seed, and
this should always be considered IN de-
ftermining the depth to cover the seed:
Some seed must be covered reasonably
Edeep, while Others should be covered as
elightly as possible; in fact, some seed
win terminate and grow by coming in
contact with the soil, and without being
covered.
In Colorado, Western Kansas, and
[other Western localities with a light,
|1oamy soil, seed is planted deep; in fact,
Fit is necessary in order to secure proper
tgrowth of the plants. Corn is often

NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

The substance richest in muscle making
is albumen, and is contained in tic white
of an egg and the lean of meat. The
carbon needed to sustain the heat of the
body is most abundant in vegetables and
cereals, which furnish large amount Of
starch; oil is also of Importance in sup
plying carbon to the system, but does not
nourish the muscle. Butter is the least
Objectionable of all fats; beef fat is more
wholesome than lard, while the fat from
salt pork and smoked bacon is less in.
furious than that from the fresh pork.
Carbon is also supplied by the use of sugar
which in moderate quantities has no i'll ef-
feet. Nearly all fruits are rch in sugar,
hence their worth as food. Eggs contain
a great deal of carbon, and are for that
reason excellent food, to combine with
articles composed largely of starch. Phos-
phorus is another necessary element OF
food, especially where nerves and brain
are overworked, and is found in fish, oys-
tiers, game, cheese and some vegetables.

Will Baptists of this country, who report
S2,6S members, nor others who are as
truly members of the denomination at
large as are the Open Communion and
Arminian Baptists of Great Britain. The
Baptists of the United States other than
the Regular" Baptists number 263,9S7.
This does not include the Disciples who
differ from the Evangelical churches in
certain doctrines, but practice immersion,
and who number $40, 900; nor the Men
nonites, numbering $4,000, who, though
practicing sprinkling, reject the sprinkling
of infants; nor the Dunkards, sometimes
called Quaker Baptists, who number 95,-
900. For the purposes of comparison, it
may be noted that the various Methodist
bodies of this country have about four

PEPPER PoULTICES.

A dear friend of mine, who was born
doctor, used to come in every day to see
how her baby was thriving, because it was
my first one, and she always claims 8
share of the little one. She would SC
often help me out in cases of emergency.
For instance, if the baby had taken cold,
and her breathing was hard and quick,
Mrs. D. would say she must make pep
per poultice. After baby was dressed fol
the night Mrs. D. would 60 to the
kitchen, get small stew-pan, put in
about cup of milk and set it on tht
stove. As it heated she stirred in the
ground, black pepper, little at time,
till it was thick paste. Then she took
old flannel and spread on it this paste, an
inch thick, and put it on as warm as the
child could bear it, letting it come up on
the throat and as high up on the shoulders
as possible, pinning it with safety pins ia
the little undcrshirt. It will not blister,
and the pepper will keep it warm a long
time; in fact, all night, if the little ont
is sleeping comfortably. For that reason
I prefer it to any other kind; and if the
child should wakcn I never think it il
best to take off poultice unless have
another one hot or thick piece of flannel
real hot to put on in its place. This is
also good for Group, asthma, or any acute
Inflammation of the throat or lungs. ]

PRETTY FISH NAPKIN.

a pretty fish napkin can be made from
piece of fine birds eye linen, twenty
seven inches square. From each corner
cut piece that will measure eight inches
one way and six and a half the other.
This will leave piece shaped like an
open envelope. On the two longest flaps
have stamped pattern of fsh-three
small ones and large one on one flap and
six small ones on the other. Work them
first in outline in salmon -colored floss;
fill in the fins and tails and all lines of
shading in chain stitch with white floss.
The lines representing water should be
done in outline with pale blue floss.
Fringe it all around an inch deep and
hem-stitch the fringe before drawing all
the threads. Fold the two flaps over first
and then the embroidered ones, just to
meet each other. The pattern is very
handsome, worked entirely in whi-c aoss.

Hunting in Patagonia.

Hunting in Patagonia is first-rate;; and
the hunting equipments are works Of art.
The saddle gear consisted of sheepskinS,
gunny bags, old blankets, or anything
else that would tend to diminish possible
Inconvenience occasioned by the too close
proximity of the horses backbones.
Among fifteen or twenty huntsmen there
might appear two or three saddles. Some
of the Patagonia horses had been trained
by the Pehuelches Indians, whose steeds
are distinguishable by having one ear
split in two. Such horse needs but to
see the game and his rider has little more
to concern himself with except the surest
method of remaining on his back. These
horses. if left to their own devices (as
they should be in hunting), never go
over an obstacle, but dodge around it
with the quickness of lightning, darting
now to left and now to right with such
marvellous rapidity that even good rider,
unaccustomed to this mode of progress
sion, may easily find himself in contact
with mother earth, especially if he has
been obliged to ride astride the character
istic saddle substitute. The hares are
larger than jack rabbit, and make fine
coursing, as do also the fores, the hunt
inc of which is little else than coursing.
The running down Of the ostrich or gu
anaco is a much longer "drive," and
gives chance for the display of skill in
throwing the balls when close enough to
the game.-Neao York Times.

ORIGIN Of "JJncle SAM"

Speculation has recently arisen regarding
the oriein of the term "Uncle Sam" as ap-
piled to the United States Government.
In the war of 1872, between this country
and Great Britain. Ebert Anderson, OF New
York, purchased in Troy, N. Y, large
amount of pork for the American 1 army.
1t was inspected by Samuel wilson, Who rI
was popularly known as ''Uncle Sam The
barrels of pork were marked ''E A., U. =,
the lettering being done facetlouS ell
ploye Of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellow-workmen the mean
ing of the mark for the letters U. ., 10r
United States, were then almost entTely
new to them, said ''he did not know, unless s
it meant Ebert Anderson and Uncle Sam,
alluding to Uncle Sam Wilson. .,
The Joke took among the workmen, ana
passed currently, and ''Uncle Sam" him
self being present, was occasionally rallied
on the increasing extent of his possessions.
Soon the incident appeared in print, and the
joke gained favor rapidly, till 1t penetrateo
and was recognized in every part OF tne
country, and, says John Frcst, the Boston
historian, will no doubt continue so Whlle tne
United States remains nation.
It is now firmly imbedded in the Mosaic
of our language, like ''Tppecanoe," LOG
Cabin" and other short but expressive
phrases which refer to important events In
the history of the Republic. Both ''I1ppe-
canoeo and Log Cabin" have taken on
renewed force and vitality since their adop-
ton by Hon. H. H. Warner, Of Safe Cure
fame, in the naming of two of his great
standard remedies, the principal one known
as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla They
are based upon formula SO successfully used
by our ancestors in the cure of the common
ailments to which their arduous labors rem
dered them liable in the good old Log Cabin
days. -.

as a household word, while it continues to
cure the worst forms of Kidney Disease,

"Bayeux Tapestry"

"Bayeux tapestry" is a web of canvas
or linen cloth 214 feet long by twenty
inches wide, preserved in the public
library at Bayeux. Upon this web is en-
broidered, in woolen thread of various
colors, representation of the invasion
and conquest of England by the Normans.
Tradition asserts it to be the work of
Matilda, wife of William the Conquerer,
and it is believed that if she did not
actually stitch the whole of it with her
own hands she at least took part in it and
directed the execution of it by her maids,
and afterwsrd presented it to the Cathe-
dral of Baycux as token of her appre-
citation of the effective assistance which
the Bishop, odo, rendered her husband at
the battle of Hastings.

Living for Centuries in q Solid Rock.

The dislodgement Of live bats and
loads from solid limestone or coal seems
20 have so often occurred as to need no
more proof of the fact. The possibility
If a suspension of animation for great
periods of time is certainly possible in
the case of some creatures. Recently o
i've bat was dug out in Romney, w. Va,
by men quarrying rock. The hole in the
stone was large enough for the bats
body. A case occurred at Barton, Md,
when the superintendent Of the mines
had plaster cast taken Of the cavity.
The bat was found one mile from the
mouth of the mine, and 200 feet from
the surface above. Those who have been
in caves and witnessed the enormous con-
pregation of bats will not wonder that
they should become imbedded at times
but that they should retain vitality for
years and ages is the miracle. 1t now
remains for man to find out if this power
of the lower creatures is totally lost to
those of higher organic and functional
rank.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

BEGINNING POULTRY RAISING.


We admire the young fancier who is
pverned by taste, for it is much better
.bd safer way of beginning than by pick
kg up this or that breed merely because
bme breeders have lauded them to the
lies. Taste is usually accompanied by
bndness for the object of choice, and
Fery experienced fancier knows that a
bal love for the birds one keeps is great
Rement of success. Begin in spring or
kn to breed poultry, but be sure to begin
Iowly, and learn by degrees che art of
hating, caring for and managinga a small
ock before you launch headlong into
|reeding on a large scale. Make the
eeeping of poultry secondpursuit in the
|eginning and until You have found it
bore agreeable, pleasurable and better
aging than the occupation you first fol-
bwed. Begin with good breeding stock
Inough you may have to pay big price.
remember that this is putting your money
b big interest. After you have started
heir care or keeping will cost no more,
b not much more, than if the same num-
Ter of inferior or common fowls were

A Cheap Marriage.

While Justice of the Peace of coun-
try town sat warming his feet by the stove
and his nose by pipe stranger entered
and presently inquired:
"Judge, how much will you charge me
to read over about fifteen lines of printed
matter from book I have?"
"Why, can't you read them?" asked
His Honor.
~ can, but 1 want to hear how they
sound when read aloud. I'll give you a
quarter to read them to me-"
"All right" said the Justice, II can't
earn twenty-five cents any quicker"
A woman opened the door at that
moment and the stranger put down the
book on the desk, clasped her hand and
said:
"Begin at the pencil mark there and
read slowly"
His Honor's chin dropped exactly
eighteen inches, by dry measure, as he
saw that the reading matter was the usual
form of marriage, but he didn't back
down from his word. Itwas the cheapest
marriage he ever attended, and he didn't
half enjoy the chuckles of bride and
groom as they went out.-New YORK.

planted ten or twelve inches deep, a depth
that in other soils would be equivalent to
burying entirely, as it would not germi-
nate covered at such depth. Usually
four inches is sufficiently deep to cover
corn in an average soil, unless it is loose
or dry, when it will be better to increase
the depth.
With the majority of small seeds, grass
and vegetables, good rule is to cover
twice as deep as the length of the seed,
this to be taken as an average season and
an average soil, increasing the depth in
dry season if necessary, to secure the
moisture essential to a good germlna-
ton.
Oats need but a light covering, and can
usually be covered with q harrow or
brush. Wheat ought to be covered deeper.
Potatoes planted in a good, loamy soil
ought to be covered reasonably deep. A
soil that is inclined to bake, will often
form crust through which it is impos-
sible for the young plant to force its way
whether planted deep or shallow.
