New York the ether day.
There were exterior and interior
views, all very charming, and the New
Workers took great satisfaction in
them. 1t had been merely "traveling
intimacy" with the Chicagoans for Il
few weeks in Europe, and it was pleas
ant to find the homes as presentable as
the people. The interior views were
especially delightful, representing as
they did succession OF beautiful

chairs, lamps and other evidences Of

FACTS ABOUT GREECE.

1t has q population Of 2,1s7,2os.
It is called "Hellas" by the people.
No part of Greece is 40 miles from the.
sea or ten from the hills.
About one-half Of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of 24,077 square miles.
1t is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Gras guns and paper-coVered cart
ridges.
The Greek flag is white CROSS on Il
blue ground--the Bavarian color and
the Greek cross.
Greece is more thickly populated
than any other country in Europe, with
tie exception of Sweden and Prussia.
1t has few rivers and many hills.
None of the former is navigable, and
many of the latter are fortified.
It's present boundary limits were de-
termined by an arrangement among
Great Britain, France, Russia and Tur-
key, concluded at Constantinople on
July 81, 1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any re-
ligion other than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics of the aver
age Greek are his inquisitiyeness, fond
ness for excitement, love of discussion.
desire for knowledge, an aptitude for
learning and aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking pecul-
inrities-the heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intense than
those of any other country in the world
lying in the same latitude. Cell once

the Morea in March he found Summer

New York, June 0.-Joseph Richard

Tuesday. He made his fortune in rail.

ated with the Yanderbilts and Goulds
he constructed large sections of the
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain and Mexican Central rail.
roads. He came as poor boy from
England. Mr.. Richardson's fortune has
been estimated at $2O,OOO,0OO. He
dressed more like tramp than a
wealthy man, and lived and died in a
house which was only five feet wide.
This place has been called the "spite
house." 1t was built because the sur.
rounding property owners refused to
meet Mr.. Richardson's terms for the
narrow lot. He afterward refused fab.
ulous sums for the little piece of
ground on which his house stood amid
the tall houses on the best part of Lex
ington avenue.
He will be buried in a coffin he Sc.
lected 80 years ago and which is now
stored In his barn at Bridgeport, Conn.
1t Is composed Of one-inch planks cut
from a big tree especially selected by
Mr.. Richardson. His greatest boast
was: Il am working man. 1 want no
fuss in life or death. When l die. il

suffered intensely. I kept up as long as
could, as l had several contracts for buildings
that had to be completed.
At night l could not sleep. Ny physi-
clan said it was my kidneys, and every day
went out doors they would keep me awake
nearly all the following night. Instead of
getting better. l became worse, and worried
great deal about my work. The doctor
said must quit work and go to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.
All the medicines l took only helped
me temporarily. Some days I would feel
better and go out a day only to be again con-
fined to my bed for weeks at time. One
day my wife suggested that | try DR.. vii.
laughed at the idea.
Finally when got into such condition
that l would take almost anything in the
hope of relief, tried the pills. They helped
me from the start, but would not acknowl-
edge 1t and said it was the other medicines
that had just commenced to work. disliked
