The Spirit of Modern Athens.

Modern Athens, which recalls in so
many ways the Athens of ancient days,
has inherited from her the privilege of
being beautiful and enriched by her
children. The public treasury was not
always very well filled in those times
any more than in the present, but
wealthy citizens who had made for
tunes at distance liked to crown their
commercial career by some act OF lib
crafty to the mother country. They
endowed the land with superb edifices
of general utility-theaters, gymna-
STA, temples. The modern city is like
wise full of monuments which she owes
to such generosity. 1t was easy to OBJ
tain from private individuals what the
state could not give. The Olympic
games had burned with so bright lus-
ter in the past of the Greeks that they
could not but have their revival al
heart.-"1Nhe Olympic Games of 1898.

Century.

A Good Advertising Medium.

A glance in an Atlanta book store
yesterday made this striking truth
stand forth
Death is sometimes a big advertise
ment.
In no department of human effort do
men put forth such terrific energy as
in their attempts to catch the public
eye. Men rack their brain for ingeni-
Gus schemes to attract public attention.
The good advertiser is the rarest and
richest of successes.
But some times all the cleverness
and ingenuity of these brain workers
are beaten-and Unexpectedly.
Du Maurier's death last week was
an advertisement for Harper Bros.
which no idea they might dig out of
their brains could excel. 1t has started
a great rush after last months Har-
per's, which contained the first install
ment of 1.-The Marian" Du Maurier's
new story, and a third edition of the
number is now being fast exhausted.
Those who cannot find the magazine
are investing in Peter Ibbetson," and
if there happen to be any who have not
read "Trilby" they invest in that. The
book dealers will tell you that in the
past four days there has been a won
derful demand for Du Maurier's works

thousands to the Golfers of the Har-
pers by his life, is adding thousands

Silas Rogers listened to the days

If there is ever time when we want
our turkey to be tender and juicy, II is
for the Thanksgiving dinner. 1t Is not
every houeekeeper who knows how to
select turkey, though it is not a diff
cult matter. The best turkeys have
smooth, black legs with soft, loose
spurs, and are short and plump. The
end Of the breast bone should be soft
and flexible. The breasts are full, and
the flesh plump and white.
The cooking is fully as important as
the selection, and the preparation for

A turkey is greatly improved by
drawing the sinews from the legs. Thi;
converts the otherwise coarse and
tough flesh of the drumstick alto deli
