on the Cretans. Tho Governor refused,
and the mob took possession of the
city. Many Christians were killed
and mutilated, and the Turks slew
Christians wherever found, sometimes
entering the houses of the Cretans for
their victims. The Sultan has done
all in his power to bring about peace.
Long ago he deposed Abdullah, the
cruel Governor, and appointed Georgi
Berovitch, the Prince of Samos and a

has done much to quiet the disorder,

A White Frog Found at Bsareck.

through six feet of solid rock. when
they struck spr.ng gushing up
through crevice. Gaily disportiDg
itself at the mouth of the spring was
unique member OF the frog species,
about an inch long in body and three
inches long from tip of outspread fcre-
foot TO tip of its hind feet. The frog
is of D white and light brown. color,
and apparently has no mouth, OIL
though it is possessed of bright black
eyes. 1t climbs up and down the
smooth sides of the glass jar in which
it is confined with as much ense as
along the bottom. It's color proves
that it has been long since it has seen
daylight, and in all probability it
came up into its secluded retreat in
the bed of rock by way of the hidden
spring.-Chicago Times.Herald.

SOME AUTUMN INNOVATIONS.


Women never look smarter than
when in tailor made gowns. 1t is re-
markable that the frocks OF heavy
cloth, cut in severely plain style, suit
every kind of woman. If she has q
good figure the tailor made gown sets
it off; if she has bad figure, the
gown improves it so that it appears
good. In view of these facts it is good
news to everyone that the tailor made
gown will be more in evidence this au-
tumn and winter than for many years.
The patterns will be mostly shot
goods, with some solid colors. There
will be greens, browns, black and doz.
ems Of shades of gray. They will be in
all kinds of combinations, and most OF
them will be pleasing to the eye, ac-
cordiDg to the manufacturers. AS for
the make of the gowns, they will be
rather more ornamented than has
been the case. They are to have but
tons, largo and small, and of all kinds
of material and make. The buttons
will be put on wherever there is room
for them, and will be attached for or.
nament as much as for utility. There
will be pockets in the coats and poe
kets in the skirts. A determined effort
will be made to supply women with
receptacles for the small baggage that
they always carry about with them,
and that is generally clutched fever
ishly in the hand for lack OF any
where else to keep it. Altogether
there is prospect of much comfort as
we'll as style in the tailor made gowns
for the fall and winter. AS for the
prices--well, that is another story

The population of Crete is about
800, OO0-Mussulmans and Christians.
Civilization was there first introduced
into Europe by the Phoenicians and
Egyptians. From ancient times the
island has been inhabited by Greeks,
and for upward of GOO years it has
heen under the domination OF the
Turks. The proximate cause Of the
present revolution was the cruelty of
Abdullah Pasha, the Turkish Gov
ernor, who prosecuted the Christians
and killed them without the shadow of
justification. In 1889 o treaty was
signed by the Cretans and the Sultan
of Turkey after one year of revolu-
tion. This treaty has been violated
time and again by the Porte. Finding
that peaceable means were OF no avail
with the throne at Constantinople,
the Cretans decided that in revolution
alone lay any hope of not only freedom
but OF even security in their lives and
homes. They determined TO throw
off the Turkish yoke and to place no

A Seventh Eve Muscle.

Human beings have six muscles to
each eye, that they may move it on
either side, but horses, cows, sheep
and other quadrupeds, which habitu'

which their eyelids are suspended and
supported, and which we do not need.
This is o wonderful adaptation to
the circumstance in which the crea-

with those of fish and quadrupeds.

=. .naIiuas 81 Charleston ,who. re.

Ihe.-na tiHasS Of Charleston who re-
side neerG the beach have frequently
observed that when the tide goes out
those who are at the point of death
expire. A gentleman was asking
whether or not the rising and the fall
ing of the tide had this effect upon
the dying in places removed from the
seacosst, and, if SO, how far inland the
influence extended. There seems to
be no doubt in the minds OF those who
live on the seacoast that life becomes
extinct, especially in the case of old
persons, when the tide has gone out.
Whether any scientific research has
ever been made on this subject could
not be ascertained. Every one, how
ever, almost without exception, who
was spoken to knew that it was a fact,
and the very general impression
seemed to be that it was caused by
come electrical force controlled by the
coming in and going out of the water.

Among the many international con-
crosses which will be held in Paris
during the exhibition in 1900, will be
one which is to consider the advisa-
bility of making complete change in
the calendar. 1t is proposed to aban.
don altogether the present astronom-
ical calendar, and to adopt one which
will be framed from strictly prac-
tical and commercial point of view.
By the new institution, the year will
have twelve months Of exactly twenty
eight days each and one of twenty
nine days, the latter to have thirty
days in leap-year. With this system,
the days will come in each year al
ways on the same date, January the
1st being on Monday, as also will be
tho 9Th, 18th, 22d, and so on. But il
this is to be the same for each year,
the week in which the twenty-ninth
day of the thirteenth month falls will
be obliged to have an extra day with
new name.

THE CARE OF POLISHED FLOORS.

No rollers should be used on furni-
ture over polished floors. Each part
which touches the wood should be
fitted with piece OF thick felt secure
ly glued on. This protects the floor
and allows easy movement.
These floors require only the sweep
ing with hair brush and the wiping
with dust mop or soft cloth.
Wax, alone, gives the highest pol.
ish; but is always slippery. 1t should
be rubbed on evenly. Any little bits
remaining will show as blank specks
after the polishing. The brush should
be used across the grain at first, after
ward with the grain. Wax and tur.
pentine furnish o less degree of polish,
which is, therefore, less slippery,
while the addition OF paraffine oil
lessons it still more. If it be desired
to keep the Aoor very light the Oil
mixture should not be used, for oil
always darkens wood.
Water is theworst thing that can be
applied to any waxed surface. A
damp cloth may lie used. all spatters
or drops of aliy liquid should be wiped
up, i.nmediatsly. When spots come
ss come they will rub them hard
with a piece OF thick felt under the
foot or with a flannel moistened in
turpentine.
Remember to keep the surface well
nolished. then dirt cannot stick and
substances spilled cannot reach the
wood and make spots. With all these
precautions the floors which are con-
stantly used will need an entire reno
vation occasionally. They should
then be rubbed all over with steel
wool till every spot is scraped out. II
the wood has grown dark it may be
whi,ened by q wash Of oxalic acid.
Rub perfectly smooth and clean before
APPLYING the wax or other encaustic.
4 good encaustic which will clean

sosp. The wax and soap should be
shaved and dissolved in boiling water.
Stir frequently and add the soda, Put
the mixture in something which may
be closely covered and stir constantly
until cool. This may be applied to
floors, furniture, marbles, tiles, bricks,
etc. It will remove ink from polished
surfaces. The French use white wax
on white marbles, but this is not abso-
Iutely necessary.-American Kitchen

GROUP OF CHRISTIAN INSURGENTS IN CRETE.

Surprising the Turks, the Cretans

few days before his death. 1t is made

and set with variety Of precious

this regal seat may be gained from the
fact that the jewels in it alone have
been estimated to be worth fully four
million pounds, or twenty million
dollars. Occasionally when this chair

This revolution was organized by
Johannis Pettopoulaki, the Spartan
representative ct the Athens Parlia-
ment. His father was D General in
the Cretan revolution Of 1862. To
his aid came Johannis Koundouraki, o
scion of one of the best families in
Aspby kos, city in Crete. Koundour.
aki was educated at the University OF
Athens, where he was given the degree
OF LII. D. in 1892. The Turkish Gov
ernment had made him a Judge in his
own city, and he had served in that
capacity for years. The opposition
of his countrymen induced him to
resign his post and begin the work OF
liberating his people from the oppres'
sion of the Mussulman.
The first duty of the patriot was to
collect funds with which to carry on
the war. Committees were appointed
in all the cities of tho world in which
lived Greeks in any large numbers.
