ALittIe Barren Kingdom.

The little kingdom of Greece embraces a territory of about 5000 square miles, and has population of little more than 100000 Greeks and AIbanians. Scotland has about the same territory and almost twice as many people. Switzerland has a third less territory and a third more people. Belgium and Holland taken tos gether hare about the same territory as Greece and five times as many people, As for wealth, Greece is proverbially the poorest country in Europe. Her rugged mountains and barren shores are hardly fit in many places for the scantiest vege- tation; she has no rivers with fertile banks; her commerce is still undeveloped and she is cut off from Europe by the treacherous Adriatic and by the inhospit- able strip of Turkish territory that prom ises to keep her for an indefinite future from opening her railway connection with the north.
 In Greece today it is the universal GUS tom 10 speak of going to Europe" just Americans do. with the stormy Atlantic between New York and Liverpool Add to all this the fact that this little barren kingdom of 2,000 900 souls has public debt of $50 O,OGO 900, and supports an army as large as that of the United States. The taxes are so high that the island of Crete, now under Turkish rule, would nearly double its ratio of taxation should it enter the kingdom of Greece. But in spite of all this Encouragement Athens to- day is busy hive of educational institu- tions, and ill all the country villages there are thrifty schools, compulsory law being carried out with more vigor year after year. Ten years ago the statistics for illiteracy in Greece were ahead of those of Italy today, and these ten years have revolutionized educational affairs in Greece.-"H. w. H." in New York Post.

New York in Midsummer.

At a certain period of the year New York always reminds me of a bakers oven, with the fires well fed. This period is now about upon us. There has been enough sunlight during the past couple of weeks to get the town well heated, and it will not cool again until the season changes It will not be much hotter, for the sufficient reason that it cannot be. Only an exceptionally torrid sun can add to the enervating heat that is radiated by miles of houses, whose sunny walls scorch the hand, and of streets whose pavements eXhale the caloric of furnace doors. By day the town sends up a shim- mer of heat into the air. After dark it still retains its suffocating temperature. Every breeze that blows through the streets is wilted out of all freshness in it's passage, and in order to get a breath that is not stale, you have to climb upon your roof, and you are in luck if the roof is a high one.
 The parks by day and night are like tropical jungles.s Even in Central park you saunter as if in the calendarium of a Turkish bath, for whatever air does wander around its winding ways is exhausted by its journey through the city. The experienced New Yorker who stays in town for the summer continues to exist by keeping indoors as much as possible, alleviating the temperature with closed blinds and plenty of ice water. l have been in tropical cities in midsummer, where the heat was not as great or oppres- sive as it is at the same season here fred Tumble in Pittsburg Bulletin.

Bill Nye's Advice.

Be warned by one who has your best in- terests at heart and do not seek to obtain wealth suddenly as humorist. Dig ginseng root, or trap muskrats, or break steers, but do not seek to obtain an immediate fortune even as humorous "fence," for you will re- gret it. Even wealthy humorists are not al ways happy. l know one who has more money than some farmers have hay, and yet he is sometimes sad. Though he has two pairs of trousers with creases down the legs and pink shirts with maroon collars to them, he often wishes that be could again be poor clergyman preaching his old sermons over again as he used to do, but free from care and perfectly pure in heart. know another humorist who has shaken hands with royalty and who keeps a team and who pays mora for groceries every month than he used to get for years hard work, and yet he feels just as sorry when one of his children dies as any body else.-Bill Nye in New York World.

A Fourth of July Tale,

It was Fourth of July. He had been inhaling good deal of powder smoke. So he said. It was not liquor; he said the fumes of the firecrackers had gone to his head. They had not bereft him of reason. He knew he had a wife and fam. fly. When man gets to his fullest ca pacity of inebriation, when he has for gotten where he lives, who is with him, whether it is Tuesday or Saturday, or what his name is, he will still remember that his wife has to be reckOned with. He knew that there was trouble ahead, and he was thinking of all sorts of queer excuses for his condition as he wandered to and fro looking for hack to take him home. At last he came across a dingy looking machine standing in solitary dig nity at the corner of quiet street. He was not so far gone that he could not di- rect the driver where to take him. It was some way out in the suburbs. The hack drove along, and as he bumped from back to front in the usual cratic way one does i'll a hack, he tried hard to make up his mind what he would say to his wife when he got home.
 There came very lively bumb that put an end to his musing, for when he came down he found the bottom had fallen out of the hack and the seat had come to pieces, so he could only grasp hold of the two doors and run with the machine. He yelled at the driver but the driver was deaf, and for half mile he had to move as fast as his legs would go. He did not need any excuse when he got home. He was sober; so terribly sober that he had forgotten he had had anything to drink at all. He was mad-well mad is a mild word-but he was knocked speeches. when the hackman, after looking earnestly into the hack, instead of offering an humble apology, turned on him and said:
 Say, what in thunder have you done with the bottom of my hack"
 And whenever his wife wants anything she asks him in the blandest tone:
 "John, what did you do with the bot tom of that hackY''--San Francisco Chron- icle "UndertOnes.

Coffee Among fhe Arahs.

The great event of the visit is the coffee. The host has kind of brazen shovel brought, in which he roasts the beans; then he takes pestle and mortar of the oak of Bashan, and with his own hands he pounds it to powder, making the hard oak ring forth song of wei come to the guest. Many of these pestles and mortars are heirlooms, and are richly ornamented and beautifully black and polished by age and use; such was the one in question. Having drunk coffee tor the honored guest the cup is filled three times) you are quite safe in the hands of the most murderous.
 So far do they carry this superstition that man who had murdered another fled to the dead mans father, and before he knew what had happened drank coffee Presently friends came in, and, as they were relating the news to the bereaved father, recognized the murderer crouched beside the fire. They instantly demanded vengeance. "No," said the father, ''it cannot be; he has drunk coffee, and has thus become to me as my son" Had he not drunk coffee the father would never have rested until he had dyed his hands in his blood. As it was, it is said he further gave him hi0 daughter to wife, Last Journal of Bishop Huntington.

Not a Humane Rifle.

It was promised for the new Lebel (French) repeating rifle that it was humane, either killing outright or disa- bling, but not tOrturing with the frightful wounds made by single firers of large cali Der, and indeed, so far as known, the magazine guns as well. Recent eXperi- ments, however, have shown that the millimeter Lebel magazine gun is no more humane than that of II millimeter caliber
 The experiments were conducted by Capt. Jaricot, his men firing into dead bodies and at live animals at distances of 200, 400, 600, 1000, l, 400, l, 500 and :, 2,000 meters, and the result, as summed up by Dr. DelOrme, are that the orifice made by the entrance of the eight millimeter ball is smaller than that of it's going out, the same varying from four to six millime- ters, according to the velocity of the bull lets-the power of the new steel projec- tile being greater than that of its prede- cessor; the bones offering less resistance, and there being consequently less defec- tion of the bullets. The hope that the bones would have "clear" fracture, with little of the splintering which is so pain ful, has not been realized. On the con- trary, the bone is torn 'shivered" would perhaps more nearly express what Dr. Delorme says in the article he writes on "Chirurgie de Guerre." And yet he says that the effects of the new rifle, as used at present, are trifing compared to what they will be when the new explosives, melinite, roburite, etc., are used.-Scien- tific American.

Beaten at His Own Game-

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, said the ancient Hebrews, and a Confederate soldier describes an incident which occurred during the halt of his regiment at Fort Clifton:
 It occurred to man picketing the river bank that it would be amusing to- take careful aim at the man on the other side doing the same duty for the enemy, fire, laugh to see the fellow jump and dodge, and then try again. He fired, laughed, dropped his musket to reload, and, while smiling with satisfaction, heard the "thud" of q bullet and felt an agonizing pain in his arm
 His musket fell to the ground, and he walked back to camp with his arm swing ing heavily at his side.
 The surgeon soon relieved him of it altogether The poor fellow learned a lesson. The ''Yank" had beaten him at his own game.-Youth's Companion.

Publicity of Private Affairs.

There were never so many books in the world as there are now, and never were mankind so gregariOus. In fact, now, a thing of privacy is almost unknown, and hardly conceivable; people live under one another's noses, and looking down one another's threats. The newspapers tell all that is, and are accused of telling even more, sometimes. The windows of our bedrooms are at the mercy of passengers in the elevated trains. If distinguished man is ill, we pass our days and nights at his bedside, and watch the operations of his physician and surgeon; if there hap pens a war at the ends of the earth, it is fought at our own hearthstone, and the map of the scene of the conflict is drawn on our dining table. The obscrest mur- derer or swindler is our familicf compan- ion, and we discuss the domestic affairs of European sovereigns as confidently as those of our next door neighbor.-Julian Hawthorne in America.
