Milk and Honey In Greece.

Among the best Of the native Greek
dishes, to western taste, is IL preparation
of scalded goats milk, not unlike Devon
shire junket, and called kaimaki. Milk in
Greece, by the way runs little risk Of be-
ing watered, for the custom is to drive q
flock Of goats through the street and to
milk them as required. Indeed the milk
sellers in some places-Nauplia, for in
stance-are apt, for all their usefulness, to
evoke anathemas when they perambulate
the town before dawn, wakening the echoes
and the sleepcrs with most strident and
unmelodious howls Of "Gala, gala!"
If the children of Israel of old found the
land Of Canaan a land flowing with milk
and honey, they must have Jared, in at
least one respect like the modern traveller
in Greece, who finds the fine honey of Hy-
mettus distributed with lavish hand down
the breakfast tables in large soup plates,
while the Athenian butter (of goats milk,
of course) is not so very unlike Devonshiro
cream, and the two go very well together.
Butter and honey shall he eat and shall
know how to choose the good and refuse
the evil" One can buy honey cake at a
roadside station in Ellis, not far from
Olympia-thick, stiff, viscid Jumps about
tho color of oatmeal porridge, which tastes
much better than it looks and is, let us say,
the lincal descendant of the honey cake
which tho ancient Greek sacrificed to keep
off the furies es-Wcstminster Gazette

What Van Left on.

Van Is 4 years old and very proud Of the
fact that he can dress himself In the morn
ing, all but tho buttons "that run up and
down ahind. =.
Van isn't enough of an acrobat yet to
make his small fingers thus do duty be-
tween his shoulder blades, so he backs up
to papa and gets bit of help.
Ono morning Van was in great hurry
to get to some important work he had on
hand, the marshaling of an army or some
thing of the Sort so he hurried to get into
his clothes, and OF course they bothered
him because he was in a hurry and didn't
take as much pains MS usual. Things
would get upside down and " hind side
fore, '.while the way that the legs and
arms of these same things got mixed was
dreadful to contemplate. So am afraid
it was not very pleasant face that came
TO papa fer the finishing touches.
: "There, everything is on nowl" shouted
Van.
"why, no, van," said papa sobcrly.
"You haven't put everything on yetp'
Van carefully inspected his clothes, from
tho tips OF his small toes up to the broad
collar about his neck. He could find moth
ing wanting.
"You haven't put your smile on yet"
said papa, with tho tiny wrinkles begin
ming to creep about his own eyes. Pun ts
on, Van, and I'll button it up for your
And, If you will believe me, Van began
to put it on then and therel After that he
almost always remembered that he couldn't
really cali himself dressed for the day un-
til he had put sunny face atop Of tho
white collar and the Scotch plaid necktie.

SIyboota.

Tommy was very happy when he came
home from school with tame crow perch
ed on his shoulder; but, to tell the truth,
he was not so proud of his pet after closer
acquaintance. Slyboots-that was Master
Crows name-soon learned great many
tricks besides those that Tommy taught
him.
Biddy Toplnot wns bringing up large
family Of fluffy white chickens and Sly
boots did covet them sol He knew that
Bibby was stronger than he, but he set his
wits to work till his sly little brain con-
trived plan for getting u chicken dim
ner
So he few down to the grass where Bid
dy's children were playing hunt the crick-
ct" and opened his mouth as If he meant
to dcvour them all.
OF course Biddy drove him away, but he
soon came back, taking care to keep out Of
reach of her bill and claws. Over and over
again he tried this maneuver till poor
Biddy's patience was quite exhausted.
At last she bristled up her feathers and
chased him clear across the garden into the
meadow. When she had left her brood far
behind, Slyboots suddenly took to his
wings and reaching the poultry yard first
carried off the fattest little chicken.
Biddy saw her mistake too late, but the
very next day she lost her temper again
and SO lost another of her children.
"Oh, dear" sighed Tommy, "if she
could only remember not to get mad! But
can't always remember that myself when
the boys tease me, and l s'pose l mustn't
expect u hen to know more than L."
Poor Biddy could never learn to keep her
temper, and so Slyboots had to be banished
to his native woods. Golden Days

Carried More Than a Man Gould Do.

Two Greek women were gathering wood
at State and Washington streets, where an
old building is being torn down. They
made two big packages of inch planks,
sticks Of scantling and some square tim
ber No man in the block could have car
ried either burden across the street. A
crowd gathered as the two women bound
up the two massive bundles.
They joined forces and hoisted one bun
die to tho tail gate Of waiting wagon.
Then they went to the second bundle, and,
by lifting together, one woman got under
it and balanced the load on her head. AS
she trotted away the second shifted the
other load from the wagon, got under its
center carefully and stood straight up.
She could manage it, and she went steadi-
ly after the other woman.
They "drew" better than a horse show,
for fully thousand persons stopped to
watch them stepping carefully out of the
block. k.-Chicago Post.

THE MORMON PEOPLE.
Their Pilgrimages to Alcovs Spring-A
Camping Party Massacred.

When the first immigrant trains carry
ing the Mormon people and their belong
ings to the great Salt lake crossed the Big
Blue at this most historic spot, there was
scarcely vestige of civilization in that re-
gion of the country For ages its prairies
had been covered with waving sea OF
wild grasses. Vast herds of buffaloes had
for numberlcss years wandered unmolested
across them. Nothing disturbed its soli-
tude save an occasional band of nomadic
Indians in search of prey or plunder and
the hardy frontiersman, who is always
found far in advance Of civilization. AS
early as 1929 Major Stephen H. Long
crossed that part of Kansas now known as
Marshall county in command of an expe-
dition from Pittsburg to the Rocky noun
tains. General Fremont, on his expedi-
tion to the Rocky mountains in 1924,
passed through that section of the state
and mentions in his travels several imrni-
grant wagons cn route to Oregon. 1t was
in 1S47 that John Smith, the Mormon
apostle, with his band Of followers from
Illinois, opened hisway through this coun-
try, crossing the Big Blue river at the old
Mormon, Independence or California cross
ing. This was six miles below the present
town of Marysville, the county scat OF
MdTSItli county. COr oWo years tIo tA-
lied Latter Day Saints passed over the trail
that led to this crossing of the Big Blue
river. At one time Mormon camping
party was surrounded by Indians at this
famous spot, and all were killed. Among
the party were several elders Of the Nor
mon faith, who were going to the western
home to look after tho spiritual welfare of
the pioneers who had gone before Ever
ginca tho MOrmOnS Of Missouri Illinois
and Iowa have annual pilgrimages to AL
cove Springs, where appropriate services
are held.-Chicago Times Herald

1t was July, and we had arrived at Nal.
aga from Marseilles by water. The town
lay white and shining under barren am
phitheater of mountains. Between 1t and
the Vinuesa was a great stretch of hot,
hazy, shimmering, sunlit water, over
which little boats, each with white avn
ing up, pulled out to meet us We had
read in Mr. Hare's "Wanderings In Spain"
of the extortion and shocking manners of
Malaga's boatman. The same story was
in Murray, with an added warning to
keep our temper. But we had no trouble
Once we had landed and on the open
quay j. had unstrappcd and unlocked all
our bags for customs officer (who was
too lazy to look into them, and at the Ho-

large, clean, airy, brick floored bedroom.
for which ho asked less than the guido

sightseeing is tho art of disappointment
Surely we had not come all this way to the
town Of Hamet el Zcgri to walk through
brand new, wide streets, lined with big
modern shops and clubs and cafes. The
huge interior of the cathedral was unim-
pressive. Tho broken walls Of the old
Moorish fortress stood on the top of far too
high hill to be climbed in the staring
sunshine of July day And even Murray
could direct us to nothing else but plain,
bare church (where tho banner Of ST Fer
dinand is said to hang), which we found
fast shut, and an old Moorish arch, now
neatly restored, and river dried up by
the blazing sun of tropical summer,
with railway track running down the
middle of its bed, between groups of wood
en- shanties We met women in black lace
mantillas, or else in long, pointed shawls
q gay flower stuck in their hair, and men
with clean shaven faces, in low, broad
brmmed hats and wide red belts. We saw
plenty of donkeys in bright, gaudy trap
pings, but this was oil the costume. We
ought to have known better than to expect
more. STILL somehow, it's absence added
to the grayness of our first impression.-
