7 havellspoken OF the active part taken
by the crown prince and his brothers,
Prince. George and Prince Nicholas, in
the labors of the organizing commit
tee. 1t was the first time that the.
heir apparent had had an opportunity
of thus. coming into contact with his
future subjects. They knew him to
bespatrfotic and high-minded, but they
did not know his other admirable and
solid. qualities. Prince Constantine in
herits his fine blue eyes, and fair col
oring from his Danish ancestors, and
his frank, open manner, his self-poise
and his mental lucidity come from the
same source; but Greece has given
him enthusiasm and ar6or, and this
happy, combination Of prudence and
high spirit makes him especially adapt
ed to govern the Helenes. The author
tity, mingled with perfect liberality,
with which 'fie managed the commit
tee, his exactitllde in detail, and mora
particularly his quiet perseverance
when those about him were inclined
to hesitate and to lose courage, make
it clear that his reign will be one Of
fruitful labor, which can only strength
en- and enrich his country. The Greek
people have now a better idea Of the
worth of their future sovereign; they
have seen him at work, and have
gained respect for and confidence in
him.

at mess, toward the close Of a banquet
at which the young prince, then a mere
captain had invited his friend the Arch
duke Rudolph, the conversation turned
to the projected reforms in the cavalry.
William declared himself a partisan of
these reforms and defended his opinion
with so much impetuosity that Gel. Won

Norman Letter Writing.

The Normans introduced their own
style of writing letters into England
and, according to an edict of William
the Conqueror, all legal documents
were written in the Norman hand.

is accompanied by
a number of striking illustrations by
Andre Castaigne. Baron Coubertin
says: sd
1t is interesting to ask oneself what
are likely to be the results OF the
Olympic games of 1896, as regards both
Greece and the rest of the world. In
the case Of Greece the games will be
found to have had a double effect, one
athletic, the other political. 1t is a
w%ell-known fact that the Greeks had
lost completely, during their centuries
sports. There were good walkers
among the mountaineers, and good
swimmers in the scattered villages
along the coast. 1t was a matter Of
pride with the young palikar to wrestle
and to dance we'll, but that was be-
cause bravery and a gallant bearing
were admired by those about him.
Greek dances are far from athletic, and
the wrestling matches of peasants have
none of the characteristics Of true
sports. The men Of the towns had
come to know nc diversion beyond
reading the newspapers and violently
discussing politics about the tables of
the cafes.
The Greek race, however, is free
from the natural Incidence Of the ORR
entail, n it was manifest that the ath-
letic habit would, if the opportunity
offered, easily take root again among
it's men. Indeed, several gymnastic as
s%ociations had been formed in recent
years at Athens and Patras, and a row
ing club at Piraeus, and the public was
showing a growing interest in their
feats. 1t was therefore a favorable
moment to speak the words, Olympic
Games" No soone had it been made
clear that Athens was to aid in the re-
vival of the Olympiads than a perfect
fever of muscular activity broke out
all over the kingdom. And this was
nothing to what followed the games.
I have seen, in little villages far from
the capital, small boys, scarcely out
of long clothes, throwing big stones Or
jumping improvised hurdles, and two
urchins never net in the streets of
Athens without running races.
Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm
with which the victors in the contests
were received on their return to their
native towns, by their fellow-citizens.
They were met by the mayor and
municipal authorities and cheered by
a crowd bearing branches of wild olive
and laurel. In ancient times the vic
tors entered the city through a breach
made expressly in it's walls. The Greek
cities are no longer walled in, but one
may say that athletics have made a
breach in the heart of the nation.
When one realizes the, influence that
the practice of physical exercises may
have on the future of a country and
on the force of a whole race, one is
tempted to wonder whether Greece is
not likely to date a new era from the
year 1896. 1t would be curious indeed
if athletics were to become one of the
factors in the Eastern question! Who
can tell whether, by bringing a not
able increase Of vigor to the inhabi-
tants of the country, it may not hasten
the solution of this thorny problem?
These are hypothesis, and circum-
stances make light of such calcula-
tons at long range.
But a local and immediate conse-
quence of the games may already be
found in the internal politics OF Greece.

The Ice Water Habit.


The ice water drinker is just as
much of a '..iend" as the morphine
eater. In many cases the habit of
the former is just as strong as that
of the latter, and just as hard to
break. It has been frequently dem
onstrated that the drinking Of ice
water is an acquired habit, and not
n that comes naturally. Give an
infant Ice water and you will notice
by its action that the drink is very
distasteful. 1t usually has the same
effect upon an Indian cor upon any
person not accustomed to it. Be-
sides it is very unhealthy, and any
person that a avoid drinking ice
water should do SO.

SILVER COINAGE OR MORE BUSI-

Ell Dorado Republican: Which will
you vote for-to let a few owners of sill
yer mines and silver bullion take
piece of metal worth % cents, have it
coined and then pass it off on you for
a dollar when your wages are due, or
to encourage the manufacturers of
this country to resume business, afford
employment and make home market
for farmers? Suppose you fill up the
country with silver money, copper
money or iron money, how is that pol
icy to help you any? Won't you have
to work for every dollar you get or ex-
pect to get, unless you beg or steal?
And hadn't you better work for a dol
lar that cannot be discounted than to
work for dollars that may be worth 80
cents. as Mexican dollars are now? FL
nally, hadn't you better vote for more
work in the country and more business
instead of more money? You can get
some of the work and wages without
any money, but how the dickens will
you get any of the money without
work?

THE WEEKS CROP BULLETIN.
CORN BADLY DAMAGED BY HEAT
IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Somewhat Damaged in the North
west, But Will Make
Good Crop.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The United
States Department of Agriculture
Weather Bureau climate and crop bulle-
tin for the week ending August 18th
says:
In the Southern States corn has suf
fered further injury and only a very
light crop in that section is promised
In Arkansas the crop is reported as
almost a failure and very unfavorable
report is received from Oklahoma, Ten
nessee and other States. Corn has also
deteriorated in Southern Missouri and
Southwestern Nebraska, and hot winds
have badly damaged late corn in Kan
sas, except in northern counties The
general outlook, however, is for an ex-
ceptionally fine corn crop in the princi-
pal corn producing States. Much of the
crop is now practically safe from frost.
In Kansas some has been cut and in
Illinois cutting will begin this week.
South Dakota-Corn mostly in roast
ing ears and it is estimated that it will
be safe from frost after September LIST,
with promise of a good crop in locali-
ties.
Nebraska-Corn has matured rapidly,
and much of the earliest planted is now
beyond danger of injury and the bulk
of the crop in the State will be safe by
the 10th of September Corn has con-
tinued to deteriorate in condition in
| the southwestern section and continues
| in excellent condition elsewhere in the
State.
Kansas-Early corn being harvested
with haying and threshing nearly COM
| pleted Late corn and fruits badly dam
aged by hot winds, except in northern
| counties. Late corn will be safe from
! frost by September 10th.
| Iowa-Considerable corn injured by
being blown down, but this will not ma
| terially lessen the heavy yield that
| seems to be assured. The crop is gen
| orally ten to fourteen days earlier than
/ the average season.

Plumas independent: The report of
the State Mining Bureau for the cur
rent year indicates a great revival of
the mining industry. In quartz mining
has the principal increase taken place.
The figures collated show that in the
year 1895 ,661 mines were being oper-
ated throughout the State, giving en-
ployment to 9.404 men, while in 1896
there were 2,411 mines working in
which 1910 men were employed.
The reports from all the mining coun-
ties are unanimous in their statement of
better conditions resulting from the re-
vival of mining. The Quitting Of pros
pectors has improved the business of
the country towns. enabling the mer-
chants to liquidate their debts to the
jobbers and order new goods. The job
bers in this city say that the Quitting
demand has saved the springs trade.
