The Greek Women

The Greek women have all the quick
ness of their race. the features mobile
and the ewes subcrb. But they lose the
gracefuincss of form early. There are
many forms OF the Greek beauty, from
the mixed race OF Albania to the semi
Latin women of Terios or SciO. Or the
Semi-Asiatic Greek of Asia Minor. They
have all the heroism of their ancestors,
aad more courage, rs am sometimes in
cIIned 10 think. than the men. AT the
siege of Missolonghi the wife of Tzavel
Ia. whom saw in boykood, accompanied
her husband at the head of the sortie
that cut its way through the Turkish
lines. She was OF short stature, but on
one arm she carried her child, and with
ncr right hand brandished naked sclm-
tier. Unfortunately for the full develop
ment of the Greek woman's character.
as some might think, she is still ruled
by Oriental matrimonial methods, aud
hence is partially an Oriental. Marry
she must. Surprising family of three
sisters and seven brothers; not one of
the brothers marriss until the sisters are
provided with husbands. Hence in
Greece the men generally marry late in
life and women wed men far older than
themselves. A girl of 16 or Is marrying
a man of 4j to go, is the most common
thing in the world among the Greeks.
Marriage is also with them a question of
money; there must be some property on
both sides. Love is no consideration and
plays no part in Greek marriages, not
withstanding that Eros was a Greek
god.
The marriage ceremony of the Greeks
and Armeniars is tolerably long. 1t al
ways occurs in church; no pews nor seats
of any sort are permitted; the denscly
crowded aisles are filled with incense,
and by the time the long haired priests
have chanted and prayed two or three
hours everyone is ready to fall with ex-
haustion. Before closing it may be adj
dcd that our missionaries have repeatedly
married natives of these Eastern countries.
and those unions have, to all accounts,
resulted happily. Brooklyn Citizen.

There is no thing We cannot overcome,

Sure lever of success for one who tries.
Pry up thy fault with this great lever-Will.
However deeply bedded in propensity,
However firmly set, tell thee, trmer yet
Is that vast power that comes from TRUTH
immensely.
Thou art part Of that strange world, say;
Its forces lie within thee, stronger far
Than all thy mortal sins and iraities are.
Believe thyself divine, and watch and pray.
There is no noble height thou can st not climb.
Alltriumphs may be thinein Times futurity,

But lean upon the staff Of Gods security.
Earth has no claim the soul cannot contest.
Know thyself part of the Supcrnal source,
And naught can stand before thy spirit IS

Greyhounds for Canadian Wolves.

1t is officially estimated that no fewer
than 40, coo wolves are rOamingat large
in Russia. add that the inhabitants OF the
Vologda last year killed no fewer than
30. 900. and of the Casan district 81 600.
In the Canadian Northwest there are also
wolves, but these are not. like the Euro
pean ones, Of very dangerous character.
The coyotes are. however, at times very
troublesome on the plains, especially to
tlocks of sheep. Some time ago Sir John
Lister-Kaye imported number of
Belgian and French wolfhounds and
Scotch deerhounds for the purpose Of
hunting down these coyotes, while other
breeds of dogs have also been tried with
fair success. By means of these the
number of coyotes has been much reduced,
as many as seventeen having been brought
down in single day on the Cochrane
ranch. The hounds are, however, scarce
ly fast enough, and with a view to giving
them a greater turn of speed, Mr.. Dan
Gordon, the veterinary surgeon of Otta-
wa, Canada, has just imported two of the
fastest and best bred greyhounds ever
shipped from Overwhelmingly. Justin

The Prince and the Blind Man.

Of piece OF silvcrware now existing in

One day the Prince of Wales, on alight-

TO effect passage across the thoroughfare

ceived a massive silver inkstand with the

to me direct from young English lady

Paynizing Wood.

Paynizing, process representing and
hardening wood, was invented by Mr..
Payne. and consists in placing we'll
seasoned timber in an air-tight chamber,
and when, by means of a powerful air
pump, the wood is deprived. of its air,
solution of sulphuret of calcium or OF
sulphurct of barium is admitted, and
readily fills up the spaces in the wood.
The surperfuous moisture is withdrawn
by means of the air-pump, and a solution
of sulphate Of iron is injected. This acts
chemically upon the sulphuret of barium,
or of calcium, and forms all through the
wood an insoluble sulphate of barium
(heavy SPAR or of calcium GYPSUM. In
this way the wood is made very heavy,
very durable. and almost incombustible.

The fire which destroyed the Office of
the Minneapolis Tribune and a number
OF Its employees, coming so soon on the
heels Of similar disasters on larger
scale as to property loss in Lynn and
Boston, has seriously impressed the
public mind with the necessity for
greater safeguards against the
flames. The Tribune building, it
seems, was provided with only one
fire-escape and one stairway, which was
narrow one, winding around that
deadly fire trap, the elevator. Ur-
gent needs of the times are fire. proof
building which is proof against fire, and

Evidences are not wanting of the
tenacity with which the French of
Canada still adhere to old France rs the
parent country. and fresh proofs are
forthcoming every day. The Dominion
Government have just now been in
formed that if the French Canadian
grievances in the Canadian Northwest
are not adjusted, and if the
French language and separate schools
arc abolished, the former as
an official language. they will appeal
to France. who they are assured will see
that the treaty which coded Canada to

the Dominion British Government to

five lots, the upset price on
which aggregated S6,275, realized
at auction s23, 365, or nearly one
thousand dollars per lot. The
scarcity of building sites. and the
fine view obtained from the hill
where these lots are located, are
the secret of the active competition
TO secure them. The view from
