THE WOMEN OF GREECE.

Conspicuous by Their Absence In city
Streets-Day Laborers In the Country.
An American visiting Greece for the first
time is struck, sooner or later, by certain
dullness in the street life of it's towns,
which it may take him some little time to
define and trace to it's real cause. At
length and suddenly the fact comes home
to aim that there are few, if any, women
visible among the foot passengers. No
wonder, he reflects. that the streets should
appear dull to him, shorn as they are of all
the variety that woman's presence and
dress ever lends to the thorOughfares Of
countries farther west.
In Greece it is only toward evening, and
then for but brief period, that the fair
sex take an outing, unless the pressure of
some urgent business should compel them
to fit rapidly through the throng Of men
who at other times monopolize the streets.
Nor will foreigner meet with them serv-
ing in the shops, the restaurants or the
cafes; they will still be conspicuous by
their absence. In fact, unless he visits
them in the privacy of their homes he will
scarcely do more than catch an occasional
glimpse of them at the upper windows OF
some private dwelling house or shop, where
sit reading and sewing and craning their
necks out to watch the passersby below.
But to quit the towns, where it will be
seen that women play but small part in
public life, and to turn to the rural dis
tricts of Greece. Here woman takes more
active part in everyday life; she it is who
draws the water, brings in the wood that
the men have felled in the forest, or who
pluckily earns her wages as day laborer
in the maize or cornfield. In the burning
summer, in the icy winter, she is eyer to
the fore, working, working, W h her veil
hanging loosely over her head, ready to be
folded across her mouth should strange
man approach. 1t is matter for Thought
how widespread even now among the coun-
try districts is this old custom of yelling
the lower part of the face at the approach
of an unknown member of the opposite
sex. 1t is one sign among many that it is
not so very long ago since the Turks were
masters of this purple land, where law

THE BRIDAL WREATH.
From the Classic Myrtle and the Rose to
the Orange Blossom and CarnatiOn.

From the Classic Myrtle and the Rose to
the Orange Blossom and CarnatiOn.
No wreath has ever been so sung by poets
and rhymesters is that which graces the
head of the bride on her wedding day, and
in most countries the myrtle is closely as
ISOLATED with the bridal wreath. The latter
has become symbol OF true womanliness,
of purity of mind and soul, and even Schil
Ter is among those who have sung its
praises Already, in the time of the Old
Testament. the Jews saw in the myrtle a
sign of what. for them, was most beautiful
and precious-the promised land, for which
they were always longing. Later on,
among the Greeks, the myrtle and the rose
were considered the favorite flowers of
Venus, the goddess of love. and gardens of
myrtle were planted in her honor, with
beds of roses, the red rose and the green
myrtle representing the union of love and
virtue.
Nowadays the myrtle has, however, sew
eral rivals. In England, in France and in
Poland the orange blossom reigns supreme.
In Italy the white rose has taken the place
of the evergreen and fragrant myrtle
wreath In Spain the red rose and in Por-
tugal the carnation have supplanted it. In
many parts of Germany there are several
distinct customs to be observed. The sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must in some places be taken at fixed
hour of the night between certain holy
days.
In some countries or districts the veil is
used without the wreath. In the province
of Dalarne, in Sweden. the bride wears a
white cloth round her head and in sew
eral countries the bridal wreath has in the
course of time taken the shape of a more or
less elaborate headgear or wedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in several
places in Germany. In Altenburg it takes
the shape of red velvet cap, round which
run 10 silver rings, from which are suspend
ed number Of silver and gold plates and
coins. A veil and profusion of floating
silk ribbons in gay colors complete the brid-
al crown.
In Denmark the myrtle is universally
used for bridal wreaths, together with
long white veil. Many families possess myr
tie trees which have for quite generation
or more furnished the myrtle wreaths for
the brides of the family.

The Woman and the Mouse.

The woman of the present day is not the
coward she was once reputed to be. She
sits composedly in cab and sees the horse
come down without screaming, and can
look on blood without fainting, and as a
rule can bear pain better than man. But
there is enc thing she cannot stand. and
no amount of casting ridicule on ito
quote Mr. Howells--will cure her. It Is
impossible to account for the special enmity
between the woman and the mouse, unless
we substitute the word mouse for serpent
irthe primal curse
Mr.. Howells once wrote clever little
dramatic sketch to show how a noted plat
FORM lady of great beauty and brilliance
was completely nonplused by the ..mere
idea" of mouse. Lately we had the con-
fession of Mrs. Nelly Cody-'the little sure
shot, who is willing to stand nightly in
an iron frame fitting to her body, with little
glass balls hung at quarter Of an inch
from her, and submit to be shot at by a
loving but still human husband-that a
mouse, and only mouse. had the power Of
terrifying her. When will this tyranny b.
overpasts asks an English contemporary.

The First Iron Bridge.

The first iron bridge ever erected in the
world and which is in constant use at the
present time spans little river in the
county Of Salop, on the railroad leading
from Shrewsbury to Worcester, England.
1t was built in the year 177S, and is exactly
SO feet in length. Total amount of iron
used in construction 37S tons. Stephen
son, the great engineer, in writing con-
corning it, said, "When we consider the
fact that the casting Of iron was at that
time in its infancy, we are convinced that
unblushing audacity alone could conceive
and carry into execution such an under
taking. "-St. Louis Republic.

From the statistics recently sent by the
clerk of courts to he registrar of vital statis-
tics at Augusta, we learn that the number
of divorces granted in Somerset county dur
g the year 1898. is A.. This breaks the
record for divorces in this county. Of the
divorces granted the past year, 30 were on
thu libeIs of wives, only nine on the libels
of husbands. Cruel and abusive treatment
appears as an element in 2G of the cases,
refusal to support in 20. The longest
period of married life was ~ years, the
shortest was one day The average length
of these married lives was Is IL years,
which NUT be higher than the general
