The Cretans have "bou ght cheese
this time--that is they have raise in
some districts the standard of rebellion
against their Turkish oppressor g.
They had intended to do that on sew
eral occasions since the sublime porte
had refused to carry out the reforms
promised by the Haiepa convention OF
1878, but they were dissuaded from il
by the advice of their leaders at
Athens. where they had formed per
manent junta or committee, at whose
head was the famous Hadji Mikali.
Whenever this clever leader heard
that 40 insurrectionary movement was
being concoc.ed in his native island
which probably would not have the &C
tive support of Greece he sent to
his countrymen through the suspected
Turkish post Office at Canea that mys-
FERROUS advice, DO not buy any
cheese yet This time the Cretans
seem To have cared little whether or
not Greece would support them, and
they have begun the fight for their
autonomy or their reunion to Hellas,
which they consider their mother
country. The island contains about
800, 600 inhabitants, more than two
thirds OF whom are Christians. \

managed to render it iIlusory in the
practice. For instance. the national
assembly is composed of 50 deputies,
40 OF whom must Toe Christians but
laws are to be voted only by two
thirds maiority,a an arrangement which
comedies to the Moslem element Of the
population an unjustifiable power in
the administration Of Gambia. Last
April Carathedofy Pasha, the Chris

and against which the sublime porte |

Judge Pryor, In Awarding the Decree

Judge Pryor listened most attentive
" Yesterday TO the complaint OF Mrs.
Raw Rockwell. a pretty young wife,
who sought a divorce from Charlie
Farnham Rockwell a. NJ. Humme
stated that Mr.. and Mrs. Rockwell
we're married two years ago Both
belong to good families, but the young
husband, instead Of supporting the
plaintiff, forced her to take to the
stage for livelihood.
She was a member OF y. M. Palmer s
company and was compelled to be tn
bread winner of the family. Her nus
bands conduct was so fragrant that
she first brought an action for separa
ton on the ground OF her husbands
cruel treatment.
While this suit was progressing she
detected him IN company with an"fh. Z.
er woman in a suit of rooms at the
Warwick hotel, where he hal registered
himself as coming from Newport. The
evidence of Mrs. Rockwell's maid and
the hotel clerk was very carefully
by Judge Pryor, who on
awarding the young wife decree of
divorce, said,"I trust you will be more
fortunate next time.

Tho origin of Sugar.

"Who invented or discovered sugar?" is
q question that was recently asked in Ger
many, and the answer given was that sug-
ar has been known since the dawn of his
tory, but not in all countries The Chi
nese appear to have delighted their palates
with sugar for more than 5000 years, and
it was known in India earlier than in Eu-
rope, being made from juicy reed or cane
One of Alexander the Great generals car
ried sugar to Greece in the year 1896 B. G.,
as Sir Walter Raleigh, some 1000 years
later, carried tobacco from Virginia to
England. But even SO late as 1850 A. D.
sugar was still rarity in Greece The fa-
nous physician Galen used 1t as a remedy
for certain maladies- Recent experiments
show that sugar has remarkable sustsin-
ing power when eaten by those undergoing
great fatigue. The invention of the first
process for refining sugar is ascribed to the
Arabs, and Venetian merchant Is said 10
have purchased the secret from them and
introduced the process in Sicily. The re-
fining Of sugar was frst practiced in Eng
land about 1659.-Youth's Companion.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT SPIDERS.

They Are Said to Have Artistic Tastes and
to Be Greatly Affected by Music.
My attention was called by a clerk in a
drug store to a web which had been su-
perbly decorated with fakes and scales of
logwood. I thought at first that this beau
tiful passementerie effect had been pro-
duced accidentally, but after watching
for few minutes saw spider descend
into the box of logwood, af1x thread Of
silk to fake of the dye, hoist it to the
web above and securely fasten 1t to one Of
the transverse strands The glittering
scales moved at the slightest jar, or when
they were struck by a current of air, and
were dazzling to the eye. This little dec
orative artist had indeed constructed a
truly palatial residence.
Some spiders unquestionably are affected
by music to marked degree. On one
occasion I noticed spider which had
swung down from the ceiling of a church
and hung, suspended, just above the or
ganist's hands. The organist informed
me that he had repeatedly noticed that
spiders were affected by music. Several
days afterward, while seated at the organ,
I observed the same spider. Several times
I drove her away and entioed her back by
playing alternately soft andante and loud
bravura selections. Professor G. Reclaim,
during concert at Leipsio saw spider
descend from one of the chandeliers while
q violin solo was being played, but as soon
as the orchestra began to sound it quickly
ran back.-Boston Herald.

A Dangerous Passage In the Rhone.

Below Viviers the Rhone breaks out
from its broad upper valley into its broad
er lower valley through the def1le of Dom
zere. Here the foothills of the Alps and
the foothills Of the Cevennes come togeth-
er, and behind this natural dam there
muss tsvs been anciently a great lake
which ex6snded to the northward of where
now is Valence. The defile is a veritable
canyon that would be quite in place in
Sierra Madre. On each side of the sharply
narrowed river the walls of rock rise to a
sheer height of 300 feet The rush of the
water is tumultuous. In midstream, sur
rounded by eddies and whirling waves, is
the Roche des Anglais, against which the
boat of luckless party Of English travel
ers struck and was shattered 100 years
ago. Indeed so dangerous was this pas
sage held to be of old, when faith was
stronger and boats were weaker than in
our day of skepticism and compound en-
gines, that it was customary to tie up at
the head Of the defiie and pray for grace to
come through it safely, but nowadays,
with the same practical result, they put
extra men at the tiller and clap on more
steam.-Thoinas Janvier in Century.

Last Amenities.

"On two occasions within few years, I"
Gaid citizen, "when have attended fu-
nerals, I have observed at the cemetery
methods that were quite new to me, al
though one Of them at least has obtained
for some years. That one is the lining of
the graves with white muslin, so that the
earth is not visible. The other method
that was new to me was the spreading
upon the ground, Immediately around the
grave, Of evergreen boughs, SO arranged as
to cover the freshly thrown out earth from
view, while the tips projected slightly over
the edge of the grave. The opening of the
grave was, Of course, plainly visible among
these green boughs, but not the sides. The
modern burial casket in form and finish is
as unlike the old fashioned coffir as it is
possible for it to be, and these newer meth
DDS pertaining to the actual interment
seem, in some measure at least, to rob even
the grave Of its terrors. New York Sun.

reached it's limits AT the time
off the annexation to Great Britain
the TransvaaI was practically
bankrupt. 1t was in debt and the Treas
ury was empty. But for the interven-
tion of Great Britain and the check given
to native enemies of the Transvaal by the
Zulu and Secocoaeni wars, it is not i'm
probable that the first struggling Dutch
Republic would have been fnlly wiped
out in massacre. Courage was never
wanting to the Beers, but his mbers
were too few, his means too limited. to
sustain the struggle of which Great Brit
ain relieved him.
The second republic of 1880 was .sprao-
tioaly a new creation, and in fifteen
years of its existence the Uitlander has
contributed far more to its construction
than the Boer. He discovered and he has
worked the mineral wealth. In ten years
his numbers have increased from COM
pa1ative handful to population estimated
the.other pay at 1856. 000.s. He has paid the
structed the railways, he has established
the commerce, he has settled the land, he
has fought In the wars. The State which
he found nearly bankrupt has this year
an accumulated surplus which was cal
culated to have reached. 2. GOO, 600 pounds.
He has not been mere bird of passage
passing through the land. accumu lating
wealth and returning to spend it in his
own country. He has made his home, so
far as he has been allowed to do so, in the
Transyaal. His children have been born
there The magnificent climate and the
wealth of the soil, neglected by the Boer,
give every guarantee of the permanent
settlement of generations. By law his
children are still aliens, but it is i'm
possible that they should feel themselves
TO be aliens in the country of their birth,
and it is impossible that the fathers sof
these children should continue to acqui-
esce in total denial to them of civic
rights of which the inheritance is so lesit-
imatey theirs. -London Times.
