Ancient Flowers.

In Bulak, a suburb of Cairo, is the
national museum of Egyptian antiqui-
ties, founded about thirty years ago
by Frenchman commonly known as
Mariette Bey. One department is de-
voted to an interesting collection of
specimens of plants, which have been
found in the sepulchral monuments of
that country.
1t is remarkable that, though the bo-
tanical collection is large, and con-
tains many varieties, every plant is
still to be found growing III the valley
of the Nile. Moreover, the closest ex-
animation fails to reveal the slightest
difference between the plants that
fourishe' fifty centuries ago and those
which the traveller sees today on the
banks of tue river
The very flowers which the boy Mo-
ses or the children of Joseph picked
still bloom unchanged, even in color.
There are to be seen here blue sprays
of larkspur, which loving hands laid

thousand years before Abraham and
Sarah went down into Egypt.-Youths'

Charity I'm France.

In France there are no public funds
for the relief of the poor, and private
charity is almost wholly relied upon.
1t appears, however, that French laws
are very much opposed to private as
sociations or individuals distributing
charitable funds, and require that
this should be done by officials. The
machinery provided for the purpose
are bureaus composed of persons two
thirds Of whom arc nominated by the
prefect of the district and one-third
by the communal authorities. No
person can found charitable institu.
ton and support it with his own
money without express authority
from the state, nor can he leave by
will sum of money for any private
individual to distribute in charity;
that duty must be performed by an Of.
ficial.-Chicago Herald.

Greek and Armenian Marriages.

ATHENS, June 25.-Greek girls usually
marry when sixteen or seventeen if they
have good dowry, not otherwise, unless
they happen to be unusually beautiful,
and even then they are looked down on
by the condescending bridegrooms and
their families, who do not allow them to
forget that they were portionless. When
a Greek girl is of marriageable age
her brother, or cousin or father if she
has no brother, goes to his closest friend
and says: Il have little sister to mar
~. Her dover will be so much in money
or jewels"
The other accepts if the sum is high
enough, but does not hesitate to higgle
over the smallest matters like pirate.
The dowry must be of the most tangible
sort. When this is settled the bride
groom prospective is taken to see the
girl and they are formally betrothed
The dowry is paid to him the day of the
wedding ceremony, and his female rela-
tives count over every article of her very
under linen to make sure that it is all
there. The Greek girls have to marry the
man chosen for thom unquestioningly.
l knew q beautiful young Greek girl
who was in school yet. Her father sent
an old man to the school to see her, and
she was sent for TO the parler, where
she made her most profound bow, talked
a few words in French and English with
him and played her "star" piece on the
piano, and thought she was showing OF
for the benefit of the school, when TO
her dismay she discovered that she was
to marry him. She had 30 small dowry
that no young man would take her, and
so she was given To this horrible old
man-for horrible he was. knew her
year after her marriage, which was
one long torture.
Poor girls have hard time to find
husbands, and sometimes their families
will bind themselves to support bride
and groom and any possible increase Tor
certain term of years in place of a
dowry, and the contract is strictly en-
forced. This is why girl babies are so
coolly welcomed IN Europe.
Greek wives are more like slaves to
their husbands than Turkish ones. and
in case of death or divorce the dowry she
brings Is net restored To her, but she
must take her chances with the other
heirs. They are under the control Of
their brothers or sons, even if widowed
and 1t is rare that they are allowed the
control Of their own money. Their broth
ers, fathers or husbands may beat them,
and in fact make their very lives bur
dens, though / think they usually treat
them mildly.
Armenian girls are usually very pretty
but inane, and theig parents begin TO
save their d0wry "a soon as they are
born. ani this is handed ever 70 the
bridegroom the day before tie wedding,
so that the impscunioQs bridegroom may
buy handsome present for his bride.
