INFORMATION ABOUT GREECE.
rom the Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
1t has a population of 2,1S7, 20S.
1t is called "Hellas' by its people.
The mean temperature of Greece is CA
degrees ahienhe!t.
No part of Greece is forty miles from
the sea or ten from the hills.
About one-half of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of A,977 square miles.
1t is the only country in the world whose
armies are provided with the Gras guns
and the paper-covered cartridges.
The Greek flag is a white cross on blue
ground-the BavarIan colors and the
Greek cross.
Greece is more thickly populated than
any other country in Europe, with the ex-
ception of Sweden and Prussia.
1t has few rivers and many hills. None
of the former is ,navigable, and many Of
the latter are fortified.
The chief characteristics of the average
Greek are his inquisitiveness, fondness for
excitement, love of discussion, desire for
knowledge, an aptitude for learning, and
aggressive patriotism
The climate has two striking peculiari-
ties-the heat in summer and the cold In
winter are far more intense than those of
any other country in the world lying II!
the same latitude. Cell once remarked
that in travelling through the Morea in
March he found summer in Messenia,
spring in Laconia, and winter in Arcadia,
without having moved beyond radius of
fifty miles"

were added about half of the total sales
were accounted for. The dealings in Chi
cago Gas consisted for the most part OF

amounted to ~, New Jerseyl Central
was subjected to special pressure and lost
lls. Sugar also sold off u and Western
Union "a. The losses were restricted to
less important fractions In other stocks.
The strength developed by Omaha suG-
gested that the recent selling of that stock
was probably by the shorts who found
themselves compelled to cover. Missouri
Pacific was steady and was not heavily
dealt In. light demand for the Gran
ger shares developed after the first hour,
and this. coupled with the demand from
the shorts, was sufficient to check the
downward course of prices and bring
about slight rally in the narrow mar
ket. The resulting gains, however did
not extend beyond fractions and the net
changes in all cases were quiet unimpor-
tant. The total sales of stocks today were
70Si7 shares.

BULL VICTIMS RESCUE.
Cycier Saves q Farmer from Death in
nm Exciting Battle.


Philadelphia, May "a dispatch to
the Record from Shamokin says: Near
Paxinos, Farmer Wesley Newberry was
leading a bull along the highway when
the animal became fractions and at
tackled him. In the first onslaught the
bull gored Newberry in the thigh and
tossed him into a pond at the road
side.
Not content with this vicious act, the
bull pursued the man into the pond,
and, catching the farmer helpless there,
again lifted him on it's horns, went
ashore and carried him so feet, after
which Newberry was given a violent
toss, and alighted in a clump of bushes.
Bleeding from a score of wounds, and
almost exhausted from his struggles in
the unequal battle, the man crawled
behind stump, and with the prongs
of stick tried to blind the bull as the
latter again rushed toward him.
At this stage of the combat passen-
ger train on the Northern Central sped
past Taking in the situation at n
glance, Engineer Umpleby, who had
but a few hundred yards more to run
to the station, pulled out the throttle
and hurried on to PaXinos station.
There the alarm was given, and sever
al citizens hastened to Newberry's res
cue. John Heck, a storekeeper, armed
himself, and with a bicycle reached
Newberry as the latter fell exhausted
at the bulls feet. Heck fired q few
shots and diverted the bulls atten-
tion from Newberry to himself. The
bull rushed at him, but Heck on his
| wheel was to fleet. He tantalized the
angry animal by waving a red hand
kerchief, thus drawing the beast from
Newberry.
Finally a crowd of men appeared and
| the bull was lassoed, while Newberry
was removed to his home. He was
frightfully gored and lacerated from
head to feet and will scarcely recover.

In this town such an excellent ladies'
