The Future of Greece.

It is impossible to have intercourse
with modern Greeks without being
touched with some degree Of the enthu-
siasm which inspires them in discussing
the future of their country, or without
sharing the confidence with which they
approach it. 1t may be true that the
people are of hybrid race, that little of
the old Hellenic blood flows in their
veins, but few European nations of note,
our own perhaps least of all, can boast
unmixed descent. There is that in the
air this people breathe, in the language
they speak, the land they live in, which
is of the very spirit Of liberty.
One meeting acountryman on the road
accosts him as ''patriote, term of more
significance, Of larger meaning than
''citzen." But they are a people deeply
democratic and require gentle handling
to steer liberty clear Of the shoals of IL
cense. Murmurings against the growth
Of taxation are already heard, and the
extraordinary activity of the press in
sures the publicity Of every unpopular
act Of the administration -Blackwood's
Magazine.

Now rvne nfcirl

I met new type Of girl the other day,
and she was certainly refreshing. Girls
are all a good deal alike as a general
thing, you know, and one does get so
tired of the same old stereotyped girl
sweet enough in her way, 1 grant you,
but with an eternal sameness that grows
rather irksome.
She is a little witch to begin with.
She will steal a mans heart before he
knows it and then pretend not to know
it herself. This damsel is most attract
i've to men, for, spite Of her originality,
she is adaptability personifed. She seems
to be able to converse intellgently with
all sorts of men and gets each fellows
fad at her finger tips too. She knows
more than ;aany Of her men friends, but
she never lets them suspect it. She
makes each believe that she learns so
much from him and depends so much on
him. She is very feminine, unassum-
ing, natural sort Of little woman, with
something appealing about her.
But down under it all she is artful.
She has made a study Of men, and she
has profted by that study. Chicago

de Plume Common Property.

de Plume Common Property.
A very interesting claim, in which
every author who uses n signature &c
more or less concerned, was ignomini-
ously dismissed by Judge Lacombe in
the United States circuit court. As /
understand it. mediocre book was pub
hshed in this city ypurporting to have been
written by Alan Dale, the nom de plume
Of one of the brightest and cleverest Of
New Yorks younger literary men. AS a
matter Of fact, Mr.. Cohen (Alan Dale)
did not write the book, and when he
heard of publication protested against
the use Of his name. Protest being un-
availing, through his counselor, Mr..
Steckler, he sued the publisher, claiming
81 900 damages. After hearing Mr.. Co
hens testimony, Judge Lacombe virtu-
ally informed the jury that there was no
necessity Of further evidence, as it could
not be shown that the plaintiffs salary
on a daily paper in this city had been de-
creased by reason Of the publication, or
that he had had any subsequent trouble
with publishers.
That may be law; it's not justice.

over which they are known to the world

use Of those signatures by other parties
was not only an abuse but traverse Of
equity, dishonest and cruel. l can't un-
derstand Lacombe's action in the mat
ter. It virtually says to irresponsible
publishers: go ahead, publish what
you please, lyingly announce that the
matter is written by any author whose
name you may prefer. He has no rem
edy unless he can prove that he has lost
an engagement or is in disfavor with the
publisher"
wonder how Lacombe would like to
see decisions, purporting to have been
rendered by him, signed with his name,
circulated in the community. And l
also wonder whether it ever entered his
somewhat interesting mind that it is adj
visable to mulct thieves, liars and bear
ers of false witness, for the protection of
the community in general and of men
as well to whom reputation is worth
much more money than the circuit
court could possibly collect. t.-Joseph

NOT GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY.

Robert Edgar Declared Innocent of the
Charges Preferred Against Him by the
Arlington Mills Company-The Com
pa ny Must Pay Him His Back Wages
The Action brought by the Arlington
Mills Company. of this city 10 recover
over Sl2, 600 from Robert Edgar, its
former boss dyer under charges of
fraud, has just been decided in the
Common Pleas Court, Philadelphia in
favor of the defendant.
The case contained sensational ele.
ments, and has covered period of two
years The specific allegation was that
Edgar had entered into a conspiracy with
the firm of w. j Matheson & Co.. dye
manufacturers, of PHILADELPHIA. by
which they had swindled the Mills Com
pany Of the sum sued for by supplying it
with inferior dye stuffs at exorbitant
prices
The proceedings were begun, in this
city in the fall Of 1891 by the issuing of
an attachment by the company, of which
John Greer was manager, against real
estate belonging to Edgar, on the charge
that it had been bought with the moneys
illegally procured Detectives were put
on the case, and, under threats of arrest.
paper purporting to be a confession
was obtained from Edgar
In the meantime, however, the affairs
had taken another turn, Edgar was ar
rested on a capias in an action brought
by the guardian of a young girl who had
lived in his house for ten months. to re-
cover $4,000 for alleged betrayal. Bail
was fixed in sum SO large that Edgar
was unable to secure a bondsman, and
he lay in New Castle Jail for six
months, when, upon his own application,
the amount was reduced and he re-
gained his liberty. He stenuously
denied the charge, but finally put an
end to the case by the payment of a
small sum.
a number of witnesses appeared in
Edgar's behalf at the trial, and the iury.
after rendering verdict in his favor
gave him certificate for balance of
wages alleged to be due him by the Mills
Company.
Matheson & Co., had also sued the
Mills Company to recover some S3 600
for dye-stuifa sold and delivered to which
action the company put in the defense
of conspiracy, but it subsequently paid
the claim in full.

The Earth WIN ran out of Balance.

Marshall Wheeler, one of the best
known of the great army Of Pacific coast
scientists, claims to have discovered q
third principal motion of the earth, 4"
which is this; Every 20,9O3 years the
globe changes its north and south poles
on account Of the attraction the earth
has for its own magnetism. The sun,
too, strongly attracts one Of the poles
and repels the other. This being the
case, it only takes the short space Of
2O,9OS years for the double attraction to
careen it over to such an extent that it
suddenly "fops" 30 degrees. Mr.. Wheel
er says that one of these grand ''hops"
occurred 6,00O years ago, at the time set
down by the geologists as the glacial
epoch. st. Louis Republic.

"The earliest Chinese coins that have

from the dynasty which ruled from 255
to 2O7 b. G.
"From that time until today these use
full little coins have been used by every
monarch, no matter whether he was an
emperor of the entire country or king Of
one Of thepetty principalities into which
from time to time the Chinese empire was
broken. There have been over 1 200 oc-
cupants of the various thrones, royal and
imperial. In addition TO these regular is
sues, if such they may be called, there
have been special issues from time to

wealthy mandarin in Canton is said to
have the finest collection extant, con-

kinds"

Astroiogy of the Day.

Astrology seems to be gaining in pop
ularity, and many are turning to it for
pointers concerning the fate that is in
store for them. Meteorologists are con-
sulting the planets in relation to changes
in the weather, and scientists are seri-
ously discussing the probability, or even
possibility, of the larger planets exert
ing an influence on the earth sufficient
to affect conditions of life or health.
Astronomers do not believe in astrol-
ogy, but are willing to give the unique
science credit for assisting to develop
the science Of astronomy. Long before
there was an interest taken in astronomy
there were many careful observers Of
the heavenly bodies. The names chosen
by these men for stars and consultations
remain unchanged. Edgar Lee in Arena.

Ehe Pathetic Lament OF a Father Whose

Ehe Pathetic Lament OF Father Whose
Son Ran Away From Home.
The time was a cold October after
noon.
The place was lonely junction wait
ing room in northern Michigan.
The people Of the drama were an old
lumberman in "store clothes" and a
young man whose apparel proclaimed
the city.
And then there was rough pine box,
about six feet long, on a truck outside.
Perhaps that might have been called
"the properties"
There is no more desolate place than
the Sault Ste. Marie junction, and it
was raining that afternoon. There is a
dirty little station and the train dis
patcher's house on one side of the main
track. Opposite is a deserted log cabin.
There is nothing else to be seen. In
summer the commonest flowers shun the
spot. The old man with the Grape on
his hat sat looking out at the box ON the
truck. The young commercial traveller
or advance agent, or whoever he was,
stared vacantly at his companion. The
time passed slowly and drearily. Once
a freight train ratified by. The young
man got all the enjoyment he could out
Of that and ruefully viewed the caboose
fading away into the fog.
AT length, as if compelled to speak.
the old man said: "Say, hate Z see tn
rain fall ON that ere coffin so. They
oughter made tn eaveses.t this yere sta
ton bigger. l tried to bring him in, but
that trucks too wide. Jim was a fine
boy, he was, afore he went up t Mar
quette. That's him out there. 1t warn't
onnateral fer him t want ter go. There
hain't nothin to keep a bright boy t.

he was all l had. He didn't know how
