Why the Fruit of Athens Is Always Too
 Green to Eat.

Why the Fruit of Athens Is Always Too
 Green to Eat.
 It is the way of travellers to complain of the food they are obliged to eat in foreign countries. Whether it is an American in Europe, or European in America, the result is much the same. We like the things to which we are ac- customed. When Edmond About was in Greece, he carried matters so far as to object to eating green peaches. He was in the bazaar at Athens, says the Youths Companion.
 Wouldn't it be possible to get some ripe peaches?' he asked the vender.
 T think not, answered the Athenian. But pray tell me why?"
 "We have no good roads. If the farmers should try to bring ripe fruit to market On mule-back, lu would arrive in the shape of marmalade."
 But at Corfu, also, the peaches were green, and they have good roads, and bring the fruit to town in wagons"
 'Ah, well" said the man. there is another reason. The farmers have no money, and they have creditors They can't wait for fruit to get ripe : There, says About, you have fair example of the state of Grecian agricul- ture.
 A French gardener, being at Smyrna, noticed that the Greeks had almost no vegetables in their gardens-tomatoes everywhere, and scarcely anything else.
 "Why don't you raise other thinCS?'' he asked. Asparagus, now. Your soil is just right. You would make a fine thing of it. I will furnish you with seeds"
 "How soon should we get crops?"
 ''Ir four years at the longest"
 -Four years: Are you crazy? Do you suppose we would spend money to get something back in four years? We should be bankrupt twenty times over. '

BccaLI- lrks.

There are large number of Euro pean noblemen, particularly members of the French, Italian, German and Hungarian aristocracy, who have re- nounced, along with their former Christian faith, their names, which are now concealed under Turkish patro- nymics. Thus, Nouri Pasha, whom the sultan had appointed as ambassador at Vienna and whom Emperor Francis Joseph declined to receive at his court, is no other than the French Comte de Chateauneuf, who, after entering the Ottoman army and marrying Turkish lady. embraced the Mohammedan faith There has always been an antipathy felt since the time of the crusades against these renegades, and it is solely on this account that the en- peror of Austria refused to permit Nouri Pasha to represent the sultan at his court.

Cast Upon the Waters It Returned After
 Many Days.


 In June, 1893, Lieut.. H. T. Mayo, of the United States navy, in charge of the Photographic office at Port Towns end, Wash, gave the captain of the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria bottle which he asked him to drop into the sea when his ship was about half way across the Pacific on it's voyage to China, so as to test the currents. The bottle, says the Chicago Record, was securely corked and sealed and con- tained a request printed in seven diff ferent languages, including Russian, Chinese and Japanese, that whoever found it should send it to the nearest custom house in the United States, with the date and the location when and where it was first seen. On July 4, 1893, when the vessel was in latitude forty-nine degrees thirty-two minutes north and longitude one hundred and seventy-fve degrees and forty-two minutes west, Second Officer Dobson, of the Victoria, took the bottle and with a swing of his long arm cast it into the water. One morning few weeks ago when Lieut.. Mayo came down to his office he found on his desk package wrapped in an ancient and much soiled German newspaper, which. to his surprise, was found to contain the very bottle he sent on that queer errand about sixteen months before. The janitor said the package had been left there by two rough-looking sailors. Upon drawing the cork the lieutenant found a rude inscription upon the back of his carefully printed instructions which read: .
 Heres your bottle. Found lon such and such date, in such and such lati- tude and longitude). The next time you cast bottle adrift please put something else in it besides piece of paper"

A PRETTY STORY.
Friendship That Sprang Up Between
 Bison and a Deer,

The bison of India has never been kept long in captivity, except in the case of one bull, which is now in the possession of his highness the mahara- jah of Mysore.
 How this bull came to survive, when so many of his fellows had succumbed. is very pretty story. It is related by the author of Gold, Sport and Coffee Planting in Mysore," who took it down from the lips of his neighbor, Mr. Park, who captured the animal, and was knowing to all the details of the story.
 When captured the bull was supposed to be about three days old. A week afterwards a young doe sambur, pur- sued by jungle dogs, ran into laborer's cottage, and was made a prisoner.
 It was decided to keep the deer as a companion for the bison, and the two were accordingly kept together, though never ahut up.
 They were fed on milk and then al- lowed to graze, and soon became insep- arabic. They were fed at twelve o'clock and at four in the afternoon, and seemed to know their feeding time ex- actly.
 When the bison was two years old it was thought time to fit him with nose rope. He was tied to a tree, his nose bored, and he was liberated. He ran all about the grounds, and then, for the first and only time, he was heard to below.
 After this he was regularly led out to graze. The sambur would sometimes remain behind, but seemed to have no difficulty in finding him, but, putting her nose to catch the scent, would start at once in the right direction.
 The bison had no such power, and if ever he missed his coc1panion would go wandering about till he found her.
 When the bull was three years old he was presented to the maharajah and

SURVIVAL OF BARBARITY.

It Is Manifested in the Modern Love for
 Jewelry and Ornaments.
 Personal adornments made out of money current in this and other realms rank with fish bones thrust through noses as guide for forming an opinion as to the degree and kind of cultivation possessed by the wearer, says the New York Times. Antique coins at the end of mans watch chain, or as links in woman's girdle, are not altogether ob- jectionable but the withdrawal of quarter eagles or whole sovereigns from general circulation for use in the decoration of either public bar-rooms or private waists, can only result from a survival of savage instincts. Every instance of it offends numberless canons of good taste and more than sev- eral canons of ordinary morality. Hence it is possible to reflect with tolerable equanimity, and even with certain grim joy, upon the loss just sustained by a much bewritten and apparently more admired visitor to our town and stage, of fifteen British gold pieces and thirty-five American ones These she was taking, it seems, not sedately and properly to a savings bank, but in clear violation of esthetic laws to jewellers shop, there to be cunningly united into a most barbarous zone. That some guardian divinity made impossible this purposes accomplishment is thorough ly and wholly well. The coins, indeed are lost, and they had intrinsic value, being gold and sentimental meaning being marked with the initials of for mer owners, but for advertising uses they remain as effective as before. Neither the kindly youth, whose mu- nifcence they recorded, nor the sprightly nymph, whom they (the coins) were tenderly to embrace, will Ian guish unremarked.

Produce of Fractions of a Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops of water, little grains of sand'' making the universe has had one more exempli- fcation. It is the custom of the Bank of England not to pay fractions of a penny In the case of dividends on government stock these fractions have in the course of years amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, which amount, it is stated, was a few years ago paid over to the chan cellor of the eXchequer.

POSSESSIONS OF A TRAMP.

4 Wayfarer Who Was Prepared for Any
 Emergency.
 Probably there wasn't another person in the state so well prepared for emer- gencies as tramp who has just visited Saco and Biddeford. He had no over coat, but, as he wore two coats, two thick vests two pairs Of trousers and plenty of underclothing, he didn't miss one much.
 When he wandered into the police station, says the Lewiston (Me.) Jour- nal, he bore big bundle consisting of a heavy comforter rolled in piece of oilcloth. In his pockets were found several dozen of loose matches and a box of parlor matches, a big roll of newspapers, two dozen railroad time tables, box of salve, bottle of insect powder, two harmonicas, a lot of cards, a handful of toothpicks, shoestring, a wire nail, collar button, a lead pencil and carpenters pencil, a box of indel- ible leads, an illustrated catalogue of rubber shoes, a purse with six cents and an old copper. three broken clay pipes, new pocketbook. piece of silk hat lining, two pieces of castillo soap, two sand rollers, three seashells, a broken clamshell, knife, plug of to- bacco. some fishing tackle, spool of thread, piece of wood. a paper ot needles. a roll of birch bark, a suspen. der buckle, package of cigarette pie lures, a notebook containing several z1. f D. ., chestnut, an acorn, whetstone, a dozen pieces of rock, new whisb broom, pocket comb and big spoon

was sent off to the nearest railway sta +ion-co,,,a civtu 1nilaS away

was sent off to the nearest railway sta tion-some sixty miles away.
 The doe soon noticed his absence, held up her nose as usual, got the di- rection, and, when the bull was five or six miles away, she overlook him. He showed the most extreme delight, and the two travelled happily together to Mysore.
 MT. Park saw the bull in 1891, and two or three years afterwards Mir. Elliot was glad to learn that the bison and the deer were still inseparable companions and both in excellent health.
 He believes that the bull would long ago have pined away and died but for the society of the doe.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.

WATCH THE ENEMY.

The Advertiser quotes Gen. Porter
as relating that Grant laid down as
a principle of warfare the dictum:
LET the enemy take care of itself.
The paper then proceeds to advise APP
plication of this rule to those engaged
in renewal LEGALLY of the Annexation
movement or agitation. Of course
Grant did not declare this policy in
the way it has been interpreted by
the Advertiser. BY doing so he would
have ignored or disregarded COM
pletely not only a cardinal and fixed
idea with all generals, but common
sense as well. The fact is that Grant
referred directly to the eliminating
incident in the chain of happenings
which resulted in Little Mac" being
relieved of his command. Mcclellan
had lost a glorious opportunity to
"break the backbone Of the rebellion
by pausing to permit the enemy to
bury its dead. This was humane
enough but under the hard adm fast
conduct of war was regarded as fatal
sentimentality. The Annexation forces
here are being again marshalled in
fine style, with spirit, earnestness and
enthusiasm and with the certain and
positive advance of an element held to
a faith by profund belief in its mer-
its. The Star would modestly suggest
that proper campaign feature is to
watch the opposition closely. How
else can effort aimed at defeat of An
neXation be circumvented? Let the
march be steadily forward on the lines
laid down in the constitution of the
new club, with a weather eye on op-
position at home and abroad. Let It
continue TO be asserted and under
stood that the movement has one goal
and that all who will help in reaching
the same are welcome to the ranks.
Watch all the time and remember that
a renewal of organized opposition,
such as was manifest in 1S93-94 is
threatened and may materialize at
any time.

SCHOOL HOUSES.

The first thing the Gentiles did when
they wrested control of Salt Lake City
from the Mormons was to build more
than score of modern school houses.
They did this before putting in sew
ers or paving streets. Up to the time
of the change from a passive to an ac-
tive administration school houses had
been provided about as they have been
III Hawaii. They were built by the
mile and chopped off in desired sizes.
Just as here they were one, two, three
and four room houses, perhaps pictur-
esque in their downright nominees
and meanness. Under the new admin
istration here, especially since the
star chamber or independent Board
gave place to the Bureau with a Cabi-
net Minister at the head and with dis
bursements subject to Finince Depart
ment checking, there has been wond-
rous improvement. But little more
progress can be made excepting to
maintain and add to general excel
lence until there is cooperation and
further assistance from the Legisla-
ture. The Star wishes to make a pre-
liminary plea for new school houses
and for more of them. Aside from the
new High School building there is
not a structure devoted to education
here worthy the cause or the city
Some of them are little less than dis
reputable. Take the Beretanin street
public school for instance 1t is a
low, unpretentious house not so good
as the average workingman's cottage.
1t has lately been enlarged in fearful
ly makeshift manner. And this is the
story of scores of school buildings
throughout the group. Everywhere,
almost, they are unworthy and inef-
ficient The school population is in
creasing very rapidly and it must be
accommodated. Let the new build
ings be up to date, creditable struc-
lures. There are no reasons for cling
ing to stereotyped box plans. For a
small house try something after the
design of the Child's Garden building
in the grounds at Beretania and Ala
pal. The larger structures should

There are many kinds of cut
glass sold, and, to the ordinary
purchaser, one make is as good
as another. The value of the
pieces depends, of course, on
the cutting. If the edges are
sharp you may depend upon it
that the quality is good.
Among all the makes Of cut
glass in the United States but
one firm sells enough to war
rant their having a ware room
in New York, Everyone in
the States knows which firm
that is-DorAinger. In the
large cities, from Boston south
to Richmond and west to
Denver, the purchaser puts
but one cut glass question to a
salesman: "Is it Dorf nger's?"
The make is so well known
that the name sells it. Our
stock in this line is entirely
from the DorAinger factory.
Other dealers think it is the
best, the buyers think it the
best, then why should not we?
Other makes may be as good;
they are certainly no better.
Cut glass has been looked
upon as essentially luxury of
the wealthy class, but our cut
glass at cut prices-both cut
makes it possible for the
middle class to own pieces of
various sizes and shapes.
