Barlaam is a very good specimen of
these fifteenth century monasteries. but
what makes this one of especial inter-
est is that the rope is said to be the
longest used for the purpose $40 feet).
The ladders to this monastery are not
so difficult to climb as some. but inso-
much as they pull out every time Won
grip them and oscillate frightfully. it
is ~pleasanter to risk the net. The
Monastery of Hagios Nikolaos an
peared to be in a totally dilapidated
condition and entirely deserted when
we visited Meteora, while the ladders.
which are seen in the picture rising
from a neighboring peak and hanging
from the bare rock, were impracticable
All these monasteries are under the
Archimandrite, a man of commanding
presence and sanity c~ountenance. The
village of Kastraki is jammed in he
tween h outer rocks of this curious
amphitheater, and in the slit of this
rocky wall at the back of the viii
lage stands a most peculiar hourglass-
looking monolith. The rocks on either
side are perforated with strange holes.

his surroundings while he was \
%schoolboy: One extremely cold morn
ing at school in the classroom. the low
est and least honorable place happened
to be near a large stove, and as the
grateful warmth seemed to be more de-
sirable than any transient scholastic
honors, the weary lad took care not to
manifest that knowledge which would
have sent him up higher into the cold.
Questions continued to be asked him.
which only remained unanswered; but
being a shrewd observer, the school
master presently detected where the
shoe was pinching, and Immediately
ordered a wheel-round, so that the head
of the column should be next to the
stove. This unexpected stratagem had
the looked-for effect, at once curing
Master Surgeons unaccountable dull
ness. No sooner were questions asked
than he replied to them, and he was
quickly again enjoying the warm place
by the fire.

Between the curve of the Macedonian
frontier of the mountains of Khassia
and the open town of Kalabaka, which
terminates the long western plain of
T~hessaly, lie the monasteries of Me-
teora. A casual glance gives the idea
of the whole space being occupied by
lines of bare hills, but on a nearer in
spection a curious amphitheater is
found, carved out among the noun
tains, and this is occupied by a most
extraordinary collection of rocks, on
which are perched-like storks' nests
or the turban on a Turkish tombstone
the aerial mOnasteries of Meteora.
In one place a huge monolith is found
literally crowned with buildings. as in
the case of the Monastery of All Saints,
popularity known as Hagios Barlaam;
in another, a group of jagged rocks
will have n point capped by a mon
astery, as is seen in St. Nicholas. The
most striking feature about these mon
asteries is the method by which they
are reached, either by loose ladders
hanging outside the perpendicular
rocks, or by being wound up by means
of a windlass in a net at the end of
a rope. From it's beautiful position, it's
size, and the fair preservation of it's
buildings, the Monastery of Harios

GEORGE ELIOT'S HERoINES.
The Great Writer Had Felt the Wan
of Money.

The Great Writer Had Felt the Want
of Money.
George Eliot, since she was a woman
had probably needed money herself al
times; and this may explain why she
shows proper consideration for her
heroines, letting few of them suffer
lifelong poverty, says L%ippincott's.
Romola's income enables her to care
for Tessa and bring Vello up accord
ing to her own educational theories:
Janet, having money, repents comfort
ably, being enabled to arrange a pleas
ant home for MI. Tryan, to be near
him in his last moments, and to erect
a stone to his memory. Hardy's poor
Tess, on the contrary, is not ever al
lowed enough money to pay for the
family monument. GwendoIyn Har-
leth had been used to ease; and it nat
urally followed that it was only when
George Eliot injudiciously invested the
family fortune with Grapnell & Co..
who failed for a Million" that the
faults in her character got the better
of her. And Rosamond Vincy-did she
not make herself thoroughly pleasant
as. soon as George Eliot permitted her
Tertius to provide his family with a be-
coming income by writing a treatise
on govt and alternating in practice be-
tween London and a continental water
ing place? Who but George Eliot is
responsible for the tragic career of
Maggie Tulliver? Did she not fail to
make suitable financial provision for
Maggie's introduction into the society
of st. Ogg's in the conventional fashion
at the proper age, thus precipitating
the affair with Stephen? With Mrs.
Tulliver, l bitterly regret those 'spot-
ted cloths" and the china with the
gold sprigs all over t'em between the
flowers" since the cause of their sale
necessitated Maggie's wearing Aunt
Pullet's made-over gowns and lodging
with Bob Jakin's wife after her trouble.
George Eliot, however, at least permits
Esther Lyon to sample financial pros
perity before giving her Felix Holt,
minus cravat and waistcoat, for a hus-
band, and then wisely drops the cur
tain on Esther's struggles with Felix
and poverty.

they a make their way safely at a
moderate speed, if the people keep on
their way, while if they are disturbed
and made nervous by a bicycle bell
they are liable to make some unex-
pected movement that may lead to a
collision. l remember a case of mu-
tual lodging at a street crossing in
New York, between myself and a lady
whom my bell had startled, which
came near being annoying. Perhaps
the custom in Paris of hanging a lit
tie sleigh-bell loosely from the handle
bar is safer. 1t jingles all the time,
somewhat to the annoyance of the
rider, but it has a faint horse-car sug-
gestion which keeps the public on the
lookout. Nowhere in Europe did | see
