GREEK SUCCESSES.
The Turks Driven Back-Many Are
Fleeing Towards EIassOna.

Headquarters of the Greek Army, La
rissa, April 22-The latest advices as
to the situation at Damasi show that on
Sunday the Turks made sortie from the
town and attacked the Greek position at
Boughazi pass and Sideropluki. After
severe fighting the Greeks drove the
Turks back across the frontier with the
loss of five guns.
The Greeks have descended from Mi
louna pass on Kurtrivali. The result is
not yet known here.
Four hundred members of the foreign
legation, including twenty-six English
men under Captain Birch, arrived here
BNTuesday. They were. received with
heat demonstration, which was repeat
o. their departure for the front in
evening. Intense enthusiasm was
dSIsed among the Greeks when the Eng
N1ishmen sang the Greek national war
songs.
Y The Greek Evzouns and a mountain
battery having assembled the mountains
east of the st; George monastery, were
attacked by the Turks on the flank.
the Turks, who on Monday had driven
the Greeks from Matt and Ligari,
brought $50 Circassian cavalry from
Elassona. This was on Tuesday. The
Circassians began to extend into the
plain, but being raked by the Greek Col.
MeStranaD0 S battery anu Dy lHe EN-
zouns, they were compelled fall back on
Ligaria with great loss.
A portion of the fleeing Turks have
reached the Milouna pass toward Elias
soma. The Greek infantry, extending in
a semi-crcle from Tyrnavo to karmavali
and supported by artillery, all well han
died after hard days fighting drove
back the Turks upon Ligaria. 1t is I'M
derstood that the latter are. retreating
in force toward Elissona. The estima-
ton in which the Turks are held is shown
by the stampede of the whole population
on the frontier. The villages and grounds
to Larissa are literally blocked with
fugitives, herds of cattle, horses and
donkeys, women and children on foot,
old women carrying chairs, beds and
household goods on their backs, in OK
carts and in every conceivable sort OF
vehicle.
The scene is heartrending and reminds
one of Pliny's description of the flight
from Pompeii after the eruption OF Mount
Vesuvius.
Larissa is overcrowded. Food is scarce,
the hospitals are full and there is an ur-
gent appeal for nurses and surgical as
sistance. The wounded are arriving
hourly and all the surgical operations
:. must be performed without chloroform,

Great Mems Sons.

1t is not often that the sons of great
men amount to much. Nature seems to
have exhausted her supply of genius for
time when great man is moulded, and
shows an inclination to take rest. And
so it generally happens that the son is not
specially endowed. He may look like
his exalted father, walk like him, talk
like him so far as intenations of voice
are concerned, and write hand that
might ea>ily be taken for the fathers, bat
when the supreme test comes be isn't
there. There is something wanting.
And SO he must be content to walk
around under the shadow of bis fathers
big hat, to be pointed out in public places
as the son of SO and SO, and perhaps
overhear that "he looks some like his
father, but he's no such man and never
will be-"
If he sticks to private life all may go
we'll, but woe to him if he is tempted TO
enter the field Of politics or compete for
official honorS among struggling polite

and sees his own poor talents brought
into comparison with his fathers genius
10 very humiliating way. If he doesn't
wish that he had never been born, he at
least regrets that he didn't make his
advent into the world ahead of his Illus
trious father, so that he might have a
chance.
A great mans son not unfrequsutly
resembles his sire 10 nothing except his
weaknesses and his vices, which are re-
produced in an exaggerated and more
repulsive form. If the father was intem.
perate the son may be sot, though this
is not so very strange, for if there was
no depression incident to inheritipg a
great name without the talent to sustain
it, it must inevitably drive sensitive soul
into dissipation.
No humble but persevering young man
should ever suffer himself to envy the
fate of the rich mans SOD. He is an OBJ
jsct of commisseration, rather, for he was
handicapped from the start, and however
considerable his own talents may be, be

Learning to Walk.

One of the puzzling things to the stu
dents of the new science of pathology, or
ohild-study. is the different methods
which children employ in learning to
walk. One child will never creep, but
will rise up suddenly and toddle of,
another will creep entirely with one knee
and in sideways direction, but he, too,
fnds the use of his legs and feet in good
time, while third bitches along the floor
in sitting posture for weeks before be
stands and starts away. Many more
variations of the plain straightforward
creeping have been discovered, and the
experts are wondering why this should
be, as walking is one of the most instinc-
tive habits of the human animal aud
ought to be reached by a similar procet 6

How fair Thy world to me has been!
How dear the friends who breathe its air
But who can guess what waits within

That which had has slipped away,
Lost in the abysses of the past;
By that lack am 1 to-day
Heir to Thine undawned aeons vast.

Its dear despairs which yet remain.

Cash Prizes For Tldiness.

The women's Town Improvement Asso-
ciation, of Plainfield, has given decided
squirt to tidiness and sanitary betterment
in that town by offering cash prizes fol
the best kept baok-yards. The resulting
spirit of emulation among householders
has been surprising.
In the state of Nebraska some polit
ical genius introduced bill in the Lsgis.
lature providing for prize of 500 to
the children of the public school which
10 proportion to the number of pupils
should plant the greatest number of trees
on Arbor Day. The bill was passed and
the children responded with zeal which
promises to re forest all the waste places
in that State.
There is hint in these experiences
which might be followed up with advan-
tage elsewhere. Reform can be adver-
tised and popularizs ed by prize package
attachment in quarters not accessible tu
ordinary methods of argument.
