ably takes rank as the finest in the

the company of which MIR. Pullman is
president something like $4,000 also.
Hardly less inviting is the beautiful

thy, but it becomes dreadfully monot-
onous to strangers. Honey is used in
stead of sugar, but tea is unknown in
the country districts. Coffee is served
black and never with milk Lamb and
goats flesh are the meats mostly used.
Beef is expensive, being imported from
the Black sea. The tobacco is cheap
and mild and is generally smoked in
cigarettes, which are rolled by the
smokers.
FURNITURE A SCARCITY.
The houses of the country folks do
not compare favorably even with the
negro cabins in the southern states at
home. They are never very high, even
in the cities, because the people dislike
the labor of climbing stairs, and more
over, they stand in perpetual fear of
earthquakes. The sides and roofs of
many houses are made of bamboo-like
weeds, plastered with mud. OF furni-
ture there is next to nothing.
An average interior is divided into
two sections by a. heap of dry furze.
One side forms the abode of the do
nestle animals. in some cases consist
ing only of the family donkey. The
other side is where the family lives, and
in it there is neither bed, table nor
chairs. There are no windows floor
or chimney. The smoke from the fire
finds its way out as best it can, which
is but poorly. Pieces of mating spread
on the earth floor, with, perhaps, a
rug on top, furnishes a sleeping place
at night.
HOTELS NOT PLENTIFUL.
Even in some of the fair sized towns
in the interior the hotel accommoda-
tons are slender. Some hotels boast of

is between these two, corresponding
with Richmond.
The sea cuts into the country in hun
dreds of different places. 1t has more
bays for its size than perhaps any other
country on earth. Yet all OF the import
ant cities are located inland. The reas-
on of this is that the ancients feared
invasions by foreign foes and built their
cities where they would be less open
to sudden attack.

A QUEER MIXTURE.

The Greek of today is ike his country.
a queer mixture. He is moral but indo-
lent He has few vices except that OF
lazinesS. He is not ambitious and he
is more ready to boast of his ancestors
than to emulate them. He cherishes
the ancient glories of Athens and Spar
ia. and he abhors the Turk. In this
latter he is surprisingly energetic. He
is hospitable, democratic and laxative.
He is superstitious, as much so as the
peasant of Ireland. IF he has q dis
turbing dream in the night he tells of it
to the rising sun to ward off the threat
ened disaster Kindly and evil spirits
and fairies abound in 4he land, and
every hill, to him, has it's ghostiy in
habitants. He is cheerful, and in ad-
versity is patient,
He eats sparingiy, is seldom a drunk
ard, and has a fine physique and an
abundance of good looks. But his wife
or sister, while sharing the good health,
is seldom pretty. She does much Of the
hard labor, and under the ceaseless
strain is worn and bent at thirty. The
young girls are fair to look upon, but in
few years. under the drudgery they
willingly submit to, they are barely
commonplace.

millionaires. who are almost as rich,
but not railroad presidents, travel in
cars not their own. When John d.
Rockefeller wishes to make a trip he
either rents a car or has one placed at
his disposal. He does not rent often.
His holdings in so many Of the rail-.
roads are so large that when he wishes
to go over a given line it usually hap
pens that the president of the road is
only too glad to place his own private
car at the Standard Oil mans pleas
ure. Very much the same thing is true
of ]. Pierrepont Morgan. And most
millionaires are SO heavily interested
in railroads that it rarely happens that
they are put to the expense Of paying
for a car.
There are many others who do rent,
however, and both the large sleeping
car companies find this very consider
able part of their business. This lat
ter industry is yet in infancy, but
grows steadily each year-no matter
by the way, whether there are panics
or business depressions or not. This
last year both the large companies
built more new cars and rented more
cars, and, in a word, did a larger bust
ness in this line than in any previous
year.
THE LUXURY AND COMFORT OF
IL.
Most of the people who rent cars,
largely the newly rich, have little con-
ception of the elegance and comfort of
a private car. having usually had not
much experience beyond an ordinary
sleeping car, and once initiated into its
delight thereafter they will take no
other, and expense is no item.
Indeed, until you have had an actual
experience of riding in one of these
superb affairs you have little notion of
the pleasure it brings. There is such a
sense of ease, of luxury, of magnif1-
cence. such q caresS and q, mild thrill
of the senses as fills you with the feel
ing that you are not precisely upon this
earth. but in a position slightly super
terrestrial, or at least far beyond the
carping cares and disagreeable necessi-
ties that irfest your daily existence.
The springs are so perfectly adjusted,

ARE FRUGAL EATERS.

Gluttony is not one of the crimes OF
the Greek. They eat little meat. a
hountiful repast is made UP of barley
bread, goats cheese, black dried olives
and wine. Bread and wine in many
cases form the principal meal of a big
strong man. Others chew raw beans
and wash them down with wine. Every
one drinks wine, for the reason that
water is very scarce in most of the
smaller towns, and what there is Of it
is not exceptionally good. In some
places water is sold on the streets by
pedolers. but the natives seldom buy
it. for wine is just as cheap and more
healthy. Nearly all of the native wine
is Favored with rosin. The people seem
to fancy it, although it takes an Amer
lean some time to become accustomed
to the taste. Fair wine can be bought
for three and four cents a quart, and
good wine for eight cents.
Olive oil is an important figure in the
diet of the people. It is used as but
ter cream, lard and suet, and in every
cooked dish. I. is unquestionably heal

dltion MS Majesty commutes the death
sentences passed on 30 Armcnians to inn

that these prisoners will he given their
liberty IT they behave themselves for
