The correspondent then describes the
Greek attack from three sides on Nigla,
which apnears 70 have been without

In America it is the Custom-very nearly
the universal parents to spend

Denditure, and are accustomed to all its

selyes-almost invariably upon a very differ
ent scale from the one to which they have
been used. To the American parent this
seems only a natural downfall. They re
mark cheerfully that they themselves be
gan in a small way, and it Will do the
young people no harm TO acquire a similar
eyperience-forgetting that in most cases
their children have been educated TO a much
higher standard of ease than that of their
own early life. They do not consider 1t
obligatory to leave anything to their chill
Arcn at death. They have used all they
cculd accumulate during their own lifetime
let their children do the same. The re
suits Of the system gre crystallized in the
American saying: There are but three
generations from shirt sleeves to shirt
sleeves" The man who acquires wealth
spends what be makes. His children
brought I'D in luxury, struggle unsuccess-
FULLY against conditions to which they are
unused, and the grandchildren begin in their
shirt sleeves to toll for he wealth dissl-
patod by the two preceding generations.
