THE ATHLETES AT ATHENS.

/ CONTINUED From Eighteenth Page.)
Inc religious. As early as SS4 B. G. SO
great an interest was taken in the festi-
kal that the leading states of Greece
United in a solemn compact that, no mat
Ter what wars might be raging among the
states of Greece, during the sacred
games there must be a general truce in
hrder that persons from every part of
The peninsula might in safety attend the
festival and peaceably retire to their
hon1es.
For ages this strange compact was
faithfully kept, and when the season for
the games approached hostilities, that at
other times were almost unceasing, for
the moment came to an end, and men or
ATHENS and Sparta, who had just been
marching and countermarchlng against
each other; men of Thebes and Corinth,
men of Argols and Messenia, laid aside
their arms and quietly mingled among
The spectators at Olympia.
1t was a rare. perhaps unparalleled
spectacle, and though the temporary
truce did little toward promoting bet
Ter spirit among the Greeks, something
was gained when a few weeks in every
four years were taken out of the period
of war.

And many glowing colors blent.
She longs to have the costume seen,
But she must wait awhile, / ween,
To show the garb-for 1t is Lent.
She wears upon her heart her sleeve
With coquetry of mild intent;
And yet, her many suitors grieve
Because alas! they must believe.
In spite of all, that 1t is Lent.

Our dearest hopes in twain are rent.
And, though our bills we long to pay,
To creditors we have to say:

FRAGRANT AS A FLOWER.
The French Beauty's Bath Is Like a Swet
Blossoms Calyx.

Partisan women put starch in the bath
to soften the water, starch being cheaper
than borax or toilet vinegars and more
trustworthy than ammonia, which, it is
said, induces a growth of down on the
skin. The Partisan ladies' maids prepare
many delicate toilet waters. They have
materials on hand for meal baths, starch
baths, flower baths sea baths and med
icated baths. What is regarded as a
luxurious bath contains as many ingre-
dents as Christmas pudding. The
bath tub is lined with a linen sheet, gored
so as to fit the tub. The bath bag con-
tains perhaps almond meal or oatmeal,
with orris root, and the combinations of
at least dozen bottles. The tub being
filled almost to the edge, the bather gets
in and stays there until she is scented
through and through.

FOR CUBA
The Three Friends Sails on Her
Fourth Trip With Arms,
Men and Ammunition,

JACKSONVILLE FLA, June Is. The
Three Friends is for the fourth time
eff for Cuba with munitions and re-
cruits for the insurgents. The steamer
sailed at l o'clock this morning while
the Spanish Vice Consul senor Mari
atequi was with United States Judge
Locke, urging the latter to detain
the vessel. Judge Locke refused on
the ground that the law gave him no
authority to seize vessel on suspic-
ion.
When the Three Friends left Jack
sonville she carried 1,500 rifles,
100000 cartridges, 800 matchetes,
800 revolvers. so Hotchkiss guns
and a quantity Of powder and dyna.
mite. At Arlington, On the St.Johns
River, eight miles below Jacksonville,
the Three Friends came to and was
boarded by nearly 100 men, mostly
Cubans, who had rendezvoused there.
These men were commanded by Ju-
liam Farraga.
1t is said that Colonel Leite Vidal,
who was on the Bermuda on her last
trip to Cuba,.w a member of the
expedition. Captain N. B. Broward,
who commands the Three Friends,
has already landed three expeditions
in Cuba. On the Three Friends last
trip she was chased and fred on by a
Spanish crusier and returned the fire.
As Captain Broward told friend
good-by, just before sailing, be said
.sTbe Spaniards will never take me
alive. aud if they kill me l will take
some of them down with me-"
Captain Broward had dynamite

TWO QUEER FARMS.
One Is Devoted to Raising 'Possums
and the Other to Rabbits.

One Is Devoted to Raising 'Possums
and the Other to Rabbits.
H. I. Twigg, young English
farmer, has secured a large tract of
land in Kentucky, near Richmond,
aud announces that he has estab
lished a 'possum farm. Were he a
Yankee, it would be suspected that
the announcement of the 'possum
ranch was part of scheme to colo
nize the adjacent district with col
ored people, possible buyers of small
tracts of land. But Mr.. Twigg is
said to be quite sincere in his un-
dertaking, having figured out that,
as 'possum is considered such del
icacy as to command fancy prices,
there is money in the scheme. He
has under advice of an experienced
old colored gemmar, who has as
sured him that "the 'possum am a
very dainty eater" planted on the
ranch large number of persimmon
and haw trees, and hazlenut bushes.
He has started in with 20 'possum
in the warren, and, calculating upon
the remarkable fecundity of the ami
mails, expects by next fall to be able
to supply the Louisville demand at
least.
A similar experiment is being
made in the cultivation of rabbits in
Sullivan county, this state. The
difficulty is to secure food for the
growth on limited reservation, and
ultimately animals overrun the sur
rounding country and become a pest,
as for instance, the opossums OF
Long Island. IN. Y. Journal.
