Greece Ready for Peace.

Greece is now ready tor peace ana
tine terms OF settlement will be con-
hdcd to the powers. Those who
have watched the progress OF the
war have foreseen that the little
kingdom could never win against so
great odds and the Turkish armies
could have marched to Athens had
they so desired. The collective note
from the powers is as follows:
upon a formal declaration by Greece
that she will recall her troops and agree
to such an autonomous regime for Crete
as the powers in their wisdom shall deem
best, and accept unreseryedly the coun-
sells of the powers, they will intervene in
the interests of peace
The initiative steps for peace
emanated from Russia, which shows
that the Car wanted a hand
in the settlement of the present war.
But Russia wants Constantinople
more and the great powers dared
not take sides in the present war lest
a greater war would follow which
would result in Russia's occupation
of the capital Of Turkey. 1t is a
matter of rejoicing that the war was
of so short duration and the sym
pathy of most OF the Americans has
been with Greece from the very start.

Something to Bear in Mind.

Every boy should always bear in mind
that he has a name to keep up and a
record to keep clean, not alone because it
is right to do so, but because he can
never tell when some one else may not be
looking to him as an example and may
not be tempted to do things unworthy
of boys because he does them. There is
perhaps Just as much evil on the other
side of the question-that is, where
young man Tor an old one, for that mat
teri feels that he is continually an ex-
ample to others, and lives two different
lives, one for the benefit of his friends and
the otherfor himself. The examples OF no
value itself. 1t is merely that you, living
your daily life, entering into sports and
into studies at schools, can never tell
when your schoolmates or persons whom
perhaps you may never know may not
be unconsciousy observing your actions,

Encouage a Child to Stretch.

Encourage child to stretch it's
limbs and crawl about-but not to
walk too soon-in order TO strengthen
it and promote circulation. Rub a
young child night and morning all
over with the hand; this exercises it.
Brush child's head, and wash it
frequently with pure soap and water,
to prevent dandruf. Always keep at
hand a pot of cold cream or similar
preparation.

Kill the Caterpillars.

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
How happy the man or woman who
can thoroughly and completely enjoy the
myriad beauties of the country inspiring
Some one quite evidently qualified to APP
preciate in their fitness the beauties OF
nature has said that if there was only
one apple tree in all the world everybody
would make pilgrimage to it every
spring to see it blossom. The glorious
beauty and sweetness of an apple tree in
blossom is too common to be appreciated.
What instruction, entertainment and
pleasure is drive through green fields

this time All nature is smiling in its
resurrection. Every shrub, flower and
tree by the roadside is springing up to

of nature has begun. Happy the person
who has the mind and inclination to en-
Joy it as it may be enjoyed. In driving
along the highways just now what count
less little things OF interest meet the eye
on every hand Dozens of wild plants
and flowers are peeping through the
mould and tangled underbrush, the
shrubs are in first leaf, the hum Of newly
created insects, full OF the importance of
a brief and busy life, is in the air. birds
are twittering and singing their sweetest
froin the fences and branches, and the
resurrection of nature and her children is
in evidence on every hand. Dear reader,
do you thoroughly appreciate the deli
cious privilege OF ride out on the coun-
try roads? Was there ever sweeter
music than the voice of nature?

rously protest against one feature OF the

The Fate of the Treaty.

The defeat of the arbitration treaty
with England in the senate last
week by less than half a dozen votes
is a great misfortune and puts the
United States in a ridiculous light
before the European nations. We
pride ourselves on our peaceful for
eign policy and criticise the more
warlike attitude of our English
neighbors in the Transvaal and in
the Cretan waters, and yet our senate
failed to pass permanent treaty OF
peace which had been so carefully
drawn up by Lord Salisbury and
Secretary Olney. The English people
took an intense interest in the treaty
and cannot understand why the
senate should have defeated treaty
which both the English and Amerl'
cans wanted to have ratified. We
can say of the senate as Carlyle once
said of his own nation, that it was
composed OF so many people, mostly
fools.

When my Caledonia county friend, b.

week in London he wrote me that |
couldn't expect to see much Of the city in
that time, and casually remarked that he
had lived there 81 years and had not
seen all OF the city yet. But in the 10

English always call it, | saw good

Mr. Stevens, met many delightful peo-

Of the size OF the city, but it may helpyou
TO remember this fact, that i'll 40 years
the population Of London has increased
10000 900 or more than the combined
present population of New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia. 1t now has an area
of 100 square miles and population of
over 6 ,000, 900. Greater New York will
soon be the second largest city in the
world but London will always remain
the first i'll size and population. Not
withstanding its fogs, itscrowded streets
and its smoke-begrimed buildings it will
always remain one of the most interest
