The city caucuses have been held
ind there are two tickets IN the field,
one representing craftsmanship in the
strictest sense, while the other repre-
rents those citizens who favor the adj
ministratlon of city affairs in broad,
non-partlsan manner, to the best in
trests of the city. There is a growing
tendency all over the land to elIminat
the spirit of partisan politics from the
government of cities, A city is com.
ing to be looked upon as a corporation
whose citizens are stockholders, rather
than q political division of territory,
and officers are beirg selected more
with view to the Sity's good, than
for the good Of any party, as must
necessarily be the case IN a partisan
government. Some Of the stauchest
supporters Of the non-partisan ticket
are republicans, who on party issues
in state and nation are as strongly
partisan as any one Of their party.
The water works and other questions
also enter into the issues before the
people.

The Women ofHellas.

Alas for the Greek idealsl Here is
what the women of Hellas look like
now, as told by correspond ut: ''The
women wear short, SHAPED > tight
skirts reaching a little above the ankles
made of the same material as their rugs,
and short white tunic made of coarse
serge. Their hair is worn in long
braid. and to make it reach past the
waist they plat in horsehair or black
tow and decorate it with cheap coins,
beads or coarse, bright cottons. Greek
children are pretty, and so are the very
young girls, but when they step from
childhood to womanhood they soon lose
all their good looks. The women toll
not; neither do they spin. They are as
lazy as the men and seem to have no
higher idea of life than lying in the sun
and drinking coffee or cold water The
food is a cross between German and
Greek. The bread is black and under
baked, and the butter is churned from
sleeps milk and never gets solid. The
cow is not milk purveyor in Athens,
but a humble beast of toll Our break
fasts were served in our rooms and were
severely simple. They consisted of green
tea, with sleeps milk, black bread and
the pure honey of Hymettus The honey
Of Hymettus is not SO delightful as it
sounds, because the bees browse among
the strong scented asphodels, with
which the mountain is covered, and the
result is not appetizing. Philadelphia

Firing Big Guns.

The man who has never been in close

Partly by courtesy and partly by
chance L was ON the, Thunderer at the

Two sets of advice were given me as to
how to act when the big guns were fired

jority of people, however, find it neces-
sary in order to preserve their ear drums
from perforation to lie down, resting
most of the weight on their hands and
toes. Even with this precauticn the SEN

used to it. Even with the comparative

the conclusion on board ship when
shot is fred is very annoying, but the
enormous guns used so generally in Eu-
ropean navies are a source of terrible
danger to the crew as well as the
