Brigandage In Greece.

As far as brigandage is concerned, most of Greece is as safe as Piccadilly and much more respectable. Since the affair at Pi- kermi, on the road to Marathon, in 1871, Attica has been perfectly secure, and the Peloponnese and the isthmus have con- pletely lost their traditional terrors But Thessaly and the Turkish frontier are still dangerous. When I was in Athens, the sensation of the day was the trial of Greek member of parliament and his two brothers before the criminal court at La rissa on a charge of complicity with brig andage in the neighborhood of Trikkala.
 Some of the evidence was of 0 most ex- traordinary character, and among other statements made by the witnesses was an allegation that the spoil was to be divided into three parts One-third was to go to the brigands, one third to the accused and the remaining third as a thank offering to the church! The newspapers of the oppo- site party to that of the accused deputy naturally made as much political capital out of the affair as they could, but strenu- ous efforts were made to secure an acquit- tai, and although tho evidence appeared to corroborate the charge the honorable member and his brothers were pronounced innocent.
 Two days later the son and the nephew of local mayor were captured by dan gerous band of robbers near Goura, not the place of that name in the Pelopon- nese, but village on the northern slope of Mount Othrys, in Thessaly. In this case the brigands demanded 40,000 drachmas ransom, but ultimately took 5000 on the understanding, so it Is said, thaS they should be allowed to escape But brigandage, like everything else, is highly colored for party purposes. -Westminster Review.

WILL MOTHS EAT SILK?

For all of these years we have put away
our silken fabrics with the utmost com
placency, in the belief that moth and
rust at least would not deprive us of the
enjoyment of their beauties; but of late
when we unfold these glossy treasures
find here little spot that looks as
! though 1t had Deeu scOrchcd, there tiny
| hole and somewhere else Il furroW with
very suspicious appearance. Investi-
CATION reveals the fact that some insect
deprcdator has been at work, and on
several occasions moth has been found
RECALLING himself on this, to him, new
dainty.
just why moths should take to silk
after all these years is one of the I'M
solved problems of life. Whether the
treatment Of the silk, the dyes or the
finish has anything to do with this or
whether it is IL new species of moth, or
maybe. if tired of one sort of diet, this
ins;nnating pest has made up his mind
to try new pastures, some one well up in
the science of insectolo-y might decide,
greatly to the satisfaction of the per
picked housewife. Certain it is that
women who own silkcn garments are
finding it necessary TO take great care of
certain sorts of silk. Some fine japanese
grapes seem to have offered a very
tempting bal: to these small creatures,
for rhd fabric is perforated with holes
as clean-cut as though made with die.
One woman is having bags made for all
her dresses Two-yard wide sheeting
is cut in suitable length for the skirts
A hanger, such as is used in the shops,
is fastened to the bag, the skirt is put
over this, the waist is attached by tapes,
then the bag is drawn over and closely
tied with draw string If these bags
are washed and starched. they are almost
impervious to moths, and little pre-
caution of this kind may save dollars
worth of dresses. The bag is equally
good for wool or silk, and half dozen
of them should be in the wardrobe of
every woman who owns good dresses. -

Genius and Training.

The training of men for work which
requires the highest possible nicely of
hand is not really training 1t is far
more the selection, by experiment, of
men born with the true touch. For ex-
ample, we doubt whether the very
greatest surgeons-the men whose sue
cess depends upon their ability to make
sharp steel as sensitive as finger tip
perform their hundredth operation better
than their fist. They have more conf
dence, no doubt, but the sleight- of hand
is unborn. Nobody can train medi-
cal student into great oculist. 1t
is only the ordinary man of whom
it can be said that practice makes
perfect. The man with the special gift
is born perfect. But genius is only the
mental side of this gift, apart, AMI if the
people whose business is with mind were
as honest and as unsophisticated rs those
who deal with horsera ,ing or brick
laying, we should not hear anything
more about genius being merely the
capacity for hard work. To say that the
bricklayer with the ''knack " is only q
bricklayer who takes pains, would be
patent absurdity. 1t 10 not less an all
surdity, though less obvious Que, to
say that man with genius for style
2 nd literary form is only man who
knows how to take pains, but no amount
of takingpains will give him the genius

He Made His Deposit.

There is more or less humbug about
the traditional slowness of the messenger
boy. At least, there il one of them in
Kansas City who is abreast OF the age in
which he lives. This uniformed urchin
keeps an account in one Of the banks,
and it is growing rapidly, too. The
other day he went in to deposit SO cents.
The teller, with more than his custom
airy haughtiness, informed the boy
that deposits of less than 81 could
not be received by the bank. The young
ster wasted not word iu argument, but
walked quietly to desk, wrote check
for 81 and presented the same at the
window of the paying teller. The check
was honored, of course. Then the car
rier of the messages revisited the re
ceiving teller.
"Td like to deposit $3.50. if you
please" he said.
The deposit was aocepted and the re-
ceiving teller was very much chagrined.

Heavier than q Brides Biscuit.

The weight Of the earth IS 5,S;I22
trillions Of tons. The method by which
scientists obtain this result is H. fol-
lows: First, they ascertain the force,
Of attraction by certain bodies Of
known dimensions, and then, the size
OF the earth and its attractive force
being known, they work out the prob
lem In this manner: AS the size of the
earth is to that Of the object tested, 50
would It's attractive power be if the
specific densities were the same, at
traction being in proportion to densi-
tV. II the proportion Of attraction is
not the same the earth and the other
body must be Of different densities,
and 1t then remains to be ascertained
what specific density Of the earth. its
size being known, would give the at
tractive power it is known to pOsstss.
The average of several experiments
gave the earth's mean density az j4.,2.
or, IN other words, the earth was IL
nearly as possible five and a halftime5
heavier than globe Of water Of the
same size. As the result of careful
calculations, based upon aetna! iueas-
urements, the solid contents Of the
earth are 259,3I3 millions Of cable
miles. Taking these dimensions Of the
earth, 1t is easy to calculate its weight,
for the exact Weight Of cubic mile
Of water is well known, and on this

connection with their liver med
icine or Black Draught has been de-
eided by Judge Newman in the U. S.

The Chattanooga Medicine Company
and their predecessors have been in the
medicine business in this city with one
slight interruption since 1872. They
have the most completely equipped
medicine factory south of the Ohio
river. Their goods are sold in every
state and territory in the union, and
to some extent in foreign countries.

CAUSE OF BAD COMPILATIONS.

The main cause of a bad complexion
is a bad digestion. Eating too much,
eating foods that do not nourish or that
do not agree with the system, deranye
it. 1ndigestible or supcrtluous food, in
stead of being converted into blood, de-
composes and causes either yellow
complexion Or pimples or cold sores.
The best cure for saliow or blotched
skin is Il simple diet. Amounting The
face is time and effort wasted The dis
ease is inside, and that is where the
remedy must be applied. Some simple
medicine will be absolutely necessary to
clean house and start the human ma
chinery on new and health producing
basis. After that temperance. bathing
and dieting will do the work. Just
what the diet should be will depend
upon the individual, but simplicity, alb
stemiousness and regularity are indis-
pensable to health and good looks.
People who go to prison and into con-
vents and monasteries are always
healthier and handsomer when they come
out than they were before they went in.
Bread and water may not be toothsome,
but it is wholesome. Children and
babies who leave asylums and institu-
lions for homes in private families get
sick the first week, proving that nature
does not require either rich or abundant
material for beauty and health.
