Couldn't Pass the Band.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Smithville. in the live and liberal county Of
Lee, has brass band of some years standing.
And this is the story which the Enterprise Of
that place tells Of it: "a fagman, almost out
breath, rushed into the Academy of Music here
the other night while the Smithville Brass Eand
was practicing and asked to see the leader. He
said that when the south-bound passenger
train, which is due here at 7:15 pm. got near
enough to hear the band the engine pulling the
train suddenly became unmanageabe and
stopped dead still. listened a moment. gave a
short and unearthly shrek reversed itself and
took the back track for Macon in regular Nancy
Hanks style. As soon as it got out of hearing
OF the band it stopped, aud fagman was sent
ahead to ask the boys to cease playing until
they could get it through town. Now. any
engine that won't pass through the city while
our brass band is playing is a freak of the first
water and should be side-tracked and left for
the rust to devour. For sweet heavenly music
give Us brass bands and bullfrogs"

Spring in Greece.
rom the Boston Advertiser.

From the Boston Advertiser
At last, at the end of April, the weather of
Greece has become warm and settled, as il
often is early in April and sometimes in
March. Nobody could desire finer days than
those we had lately, and the nights, with tina,
large moon and fleecy clouds. are like the sum-
mer nights of July In New England, when the
heat of the day has not been too great. But we
do not yet hear the nightingale in Athens, though
that shy bird must be here somewhere, as they
told us it already was in the plain Of Sparta
two weeks ago. / fear that the increasing
noise of Athens, both by day and night, has
frightened the nightingale away, for he no
longer seems to sing in the kings garden, as he
did even three years ago. may thus have to
leave Greece without hearing the nightingale
The early spring in Greece is beautiful with
flowers and verdure, but it is not SO musical
with birds is the New England spring.
Nothing corresponding to our blue birds, black
birds and robins have heard in the April
mornings at Sparta or in the fine March morn
ings of Thessaly. Later in the season. sup
pose in May and June-the birds of Athens are
said to fill the city gardens with their singing,
but very little is heard of that now. Yet. at
this time, before May has fairly come in, the
roses are beginning to bloom, and that lovely
climbing and twining plant, the Banksia rose,
is poisoning white and yellow over the garden
walls OF the nVe houses near the royal palace
and in the grounds of the American School on
the side of Lyoabethes.
The fields are still deliciously green, although
the peasant is are beginning to cut their barley
and the foliage of the trees is growing fuller
every day. But the season has been a very
backward one-no such spring has been known
in Athens for thirty years, saws Miss Tricoupis
and this is the general opinion. Exactly why
it should be nobody knows: for. although
there has been deeper snow on the mountains
than usual the past winter. that fact alone will
not account for the cold and rainy season. In
central and western Europe. on the contrary
the spring has been very early, and the freedom
from rain and cold weather for nearly all March
and April has been very marked. Those coun-
tries are having the weather that Greece ought
to have, and We have been suffering from theil
ordinary March and April weather.

TEE NAvAHOE READY.
Mr.. Carrolls Fine Yacht to start for English
Waters on SUNDAY.

natcTS Ou SuUuaNs
Mrand Mrs Royal Phelps Carroll are to all out
ward appearances the happiest persons in New
port tonight, says a special to the New York
Herald, for they firmly believe that the Nava-
hoe is a winner, but they decline to make any
predictions
Long after the guns at Fort Adams had sig
nailed the setting of the sun the stately Nava-
hoe after a weeks absence at Bristol. where she
was built and rugged. dropped anchor in New
port harbor. On Sunday afternoon, wind and
weather permitting, 1Ir. Carroll will start on
his journey on board the Navahoe for Eng
lish waters, where he hopes to regain for
America the Cape May and Breton Reef chal-
lenge cups. The Nayahoe tonight presents
peculiar appearance. Her rakish spars and
enormous sails have given place to aless notice
able outtit. Her racing sails and spars have
been ''done up" and forwarded to New York
and on Saturday they will be taken to England
on board the steamer City Of Berlin.
Mr.. Carroll informed me tonight that he had
removed A., 900 pounds of lead from the inside
of the Navahoe and had placed 40, $50 pounds
on her keel. About one ton more, which he
said was easy TO get at, should be removed at
leisure while the yacht was on her way TO Eng
land. The crew before the mast numbers 10.
There will be two quar,ermas;ers and four men
in the quartermasters department.. Capt Bard
and his two officers will swell the list of
the crew to over thirty. Mr.. Carroll. while not
knowing for certainty what the water line of
the Yacht will be, is of the opinion that her
racing length will be Sc feet inches. or four
inches below the designed lines. MIR. Carroll
is more than pleased with his expensive venture
and he fully realizes the interest which is taken
in his movements. He is too modest BY far
for an enthusiastic American, but he can't
help it.
Mrs. Carroll will at once arrange for her de-
parture for England on the steamer New York
I'm h. hos hon n Cnvy2S which
will occupy while the Navahoe remains in
English waters. Mr.. Carroll informs ME that
he has invited his friend. Mr.. II. B. Duryea OF
New York. to be his guest on the trip to Eng
land to take Mr.. Ellis place.
The Navahoe's stores will be placed on board
her today or saturday. Two months supplies
have been ordered. The crew could not be
equaled.

SURVIVAL OF SYMBOLISM.
The Marriage Ceremony Contains Traces of
Prehistoric Custom.

The Marriage Ceremony Contains Traces of
Prehistoric Custom.
From the London Times
MIR. John Macdonell, Ii. D., delivered yes
terday the second lecture on symbolism in
Custom, Ceremonies and Art at the Royal In
stitution. The lecturer said that no usage had
been more prevalent than the blood covenant
that is, the contracting parties drinking blood
drawn from each others bosoms, and
references were given to this practice
from Herodotus to modern times. The
Scythians made their oaths by dropping blood
taken from slight wounds into q bowl of
wine, into which were dipped a sword, ar
rows, battle Ak and javelins, and the bowl
was then drunk by the contracting parties.
In Central Africa much the same custom is
still found. In tracing the wide prevalence
OF customs Of this character we seem to be in
the presence OF q fundamental fact Of human
experience, an impression forced upon all
races, that blood, the mysterious source. of
life itself. is the aptest emblem Of promise
to be kept even unto death. After reviewing
the various forms of marriage ceremonies
forms Of capture and purchase, pouring OF
lustral water on the bride. eating bread to-
gether, the married pair sitting side by side
on the skin of an animal slain in sacrifce-the
lecturer proceeded to examine the details Of
the English marriage service and showed that
1t was mixture of ceremonies, some OF them
symbolical and ancient, and that there could be
found in it traces of primitive practices COM
mon to all Aryan nations.
Before the time Of writing most of the at
fairs of Efe-adoption, the doing Of homage,
the administration Of justice, for example
were represented by symbolical rites Some
what akin to these is another kind Of SYM
hols-the signs or marks to designate beings
real or iegendary-what may be called the
heraldry of mythology or legends-the SYM
bols Of the gods Of Hellas, Rome, Egypt and,
equally numerous, those OF the saints.
Certain ceremonies served in lieu of state
ments Of abstract principles. The corona
ton ceremonial was, in a sense, the constitu-
ton OF country. Not by the bare words
Of written constitution, but by visible
forms, by striking and dramatic pageant. peo-
pie were taught what their sovereign is and
ought to be, and what are his rights and duties.
In mythology, and, indeed, in all arts. there
Is process of elimination and selection until
loose, floating ideas finally crystalline in the
aptest form. The free gestures of individual
alteration stiffcn into liturgical formula; the
unrrompted prayer hardens into the form from
which there must be no variation of syllable;
the rude, shapeless stone of the idol is gradually
nodded into beauty. But at the moment Of
artistic perfection the symbolic element has
almost departed.

From t he London Daily News.
1t has taken just seventeen years to convert
Persia into nation of cigarette smokers. Be-
fore that time cigarettes in the dominions of
the shah were unknown, all the tobacco SIN oking
being by "kalians" or hubble bubbles" and
chibouks, or long wooden pipes with red clay
bowls. But it happened that about 1876 some
body introduced from Turkey the variety known
as cigarette tobacco into Ghilan, whence it's
use has spread. Now. so general is the practice
that even the lowest peasant in Persia goes
about with cigarette case and makes his own
smokes"

BACK IN EIGHTH PLACE.
The washingtons Lose Another Game to
the Clevelands.

the Clevelands.
1t is hardly to be wondered at that the local
team played loose game yesterday. Yester-
days disaster in sight of their hotel, the con-
slant passing Of the ambulance and patrol
wagons, the excited crowds, the distressing
rumors-all were enough to take the nerve Of
the most hardened.
For five innings the local team put up good
game. Then came few hits. and the infield
seemed to collapse. Five runs were scored on
triple, two singles. base on balls and two
dropped balls by Larkin and one by Wise.
That made the score 10 to 4, and the locals
were never in the hunt afterward. O'Rourke
hit to the fence for a home run in the ninth,
and the visitors on two singles and Sullivan
tumble secured one more score.

The United States and Europe in 1893.

The United States and Europe in 1898.
From lie Figaro Of Paris
The United States do not threaten US from
military point of view, but from an economic
point of view they constitute for us an imme-
date and pressing danger. The debt con-
tracted by the United States during the civil
war will be completely extnguished before the
end of the century; while the total debt of
European countries is reckoned to amount to
the formidable figure of 1875 milliards of francs
The United States maintain army of only
q, 900 men-about the number included in a
single one Of our army corps. In Europe
there are 3.600,000 men kept in military
service in time Of peace; and it is easy
to recognize what loss in their
productive capacity is caused to European
states annually. 1t must be borne in mind
that the men thus taken away from peaceful
work are all at the maximum of their strength,
and at the age when mans character is
formed. The loss resulting from such state
of things is frightful. when considered as
factor in the industrial struggle against the
United States. 1t would be sheer blindness not
to see that. in these conditions, the progressive
and rapid development Of the United States
menaces Europe with such n competition that
the time will surely come when the axis of in
dustrial power. of human activity and of polit-
ical influence Will be changed to the advantage
of the new world.
This evolution movement threatens France
more than any other European nation, because
it is France which is bearing the heaviest bur-
dens and which has the largest debt Every
where in Europe. even among the smallest ma
tions, they are talking at this moment only of
ornaments, increase of soldiers and war mate
rial, and naturally, also. Of new taxes. In 1870
Europe devoted annually to the preparation for
war the sum of about three milliards; at present
the annual expenditure for the same purpose is
FIVE milliards. In 1870 Europe kept on a peace
footing little more than 1000 900 men; today
she keeps more than 3, 500 900. In 1870 Europe
estimated that, in case of war, she could place
in line. as a supreme effort. about 1000. 900
men: today she could have 1880, 900. and her
legislation tends to carry that number to
o. 600 900.

The Duke Of Nork's Tact,

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A very good story is told of the Duke Of
York in illustration of his tact with men under
his command, as well as his capacity to read
character. When in command of the Thrush,
on the West Indian station. a blrejacket be-
longing to another ship, who was constantly in
trouble, was brought on board prisoner for
conveyance to his place of punishment On the
way the prince came TO the conclusion that the
fellow had good stuff in him. and he petitioned
the admiral to allow the man to be transferred
to the Thrush after he had endured his PEN
atty. The admiral doubted the wisdom Of the
request, but be allowed the prince to have his
way. When the man came on board ne was
brought before his ROYAL highness. who in
formed him that lac would have a clean sheet
for past offenses and be put in the first class
for leave. The man had not been on leave for
q year. and he was naturally amazed when the
prince further informed him that he might 60
ashore at once. and presented him with Q
sovereign, as his money had been stopped. His
commander told him that he would trust to hts
honor not to break his leave or misspend his
money, and that his future was in his own
hands. The experiment was perhaps q hazard
ous one, but il succeeded. aud the man was
transformed into active and well-behaved
seaman, and soon obtained promotion.
