Another Stand at Thermoplae

Thermopylae, immortalzed by the
greatest of Greek victories, is again be-
ing fortified in view Of the Greek army
being forced to fall back from the sec
ond line of defense at Pharsala. Their
mopylae would, it is said, be the last
stand, and if the Turks reach as far
south, bloody and desperate battle
may be expected there.
Thermopylae, which means the hot
gates, is in a mountain pass leading
from Thessaly into Greece, and the
only road by which an advancing army
could make an invasion. 1t lies south
of the present course of the river Sper-
cheins, between Mount Ota and the
Malore gulf. The place was the scene
of numerous struggles at various pc
ricds of Greek history. 1t was defended
by the Phocians against the Thessali-
ans, and subsequently by Leonidas and
his 500 Spartans against Persia (4S0 b.
CO. the latter defense, resulting in the
death of Leondas, being the most fa-
nous Of all. Again, the Aetolians de-
Tended the pass against Philip. Anti
ochus defended it against Brennus and
the Gauls.
In the three latter instances the same
meneuver-namely, the detachment on
the part of the aggressors of a part OF
the force, which, having scaled the
heights of Anapoea or Calidromus, was
to fall on the rear Of the defenders of
the pass-was resorted to exactly as it
had been employed by the Persians. and
with the same success. These old tao
ties the Turkish forces may follow
again. The pass itself has never been
stormed by main force.--New York Her

Simple Hints About the Lawn

First-Buy ten dollars worth of books
and read carefully all the directions
they contain, and if any two agree.
throw them away as valueless.
Second-Buy everything recommend
ed as necessary even If it puts another
mortgage on the house.
Third-Buy five kinds of feed and
seven styles of fertilizer and attack the
ground, and if nothing happens wait
a reasonable time and try all other kinds
of both
Fourth-Be sure to purchase a lawn
mower before the seed comes up, and
get the children to sharpen it by daily
exercise on the gravel path.
Fifth-If the seeds do not come up
allow your fine new crop of weeds to
prove to your neighbors that there is
something in the soil except general
cussedness.
Sixth-Hope on, hope ever, and while
you are waiting read the Bible and
other good books that will direct your
thoughts from earth.
Seventh-Look not with envy upon
the velvet green of your poor neighbor,
who has done more with sixty-seven
cents of common stuff than you have
with all the high-priced mixtures.
Eighth-Take a long vacation and get
the hired man to do the work-Judge.

THE PUGILIsTS

The New York Herald says: "The most
remarkable fighting man in the world to-
day is Norman Selby, known in the sport
ing world as Kid Mccoy, and then de-
votes almost page to cuts and descrip-
tive matter to prove that it's statement is
correct. From all accounts the young
man must be a wonder. Although an inch
or more shorter than Fitzsmmons, his
reach is longer, measuring six feet four
inches from tip to tip of fingers, whereas
the Australian measures but six feet three
and one-half inches. He weighs but 1856
pounds. but is still growing, although he is
2S years old, and will therefore fight at from
160 to 165 pounds. Some idea of his fighting
qualifications can be realized when it is
stated that after defeating every man he
went against in this country, he went over
to South Africa a year ago and whipped
every one he could coax into the ring; did
the same thing in England, and returned to
New York few weeks ago with $50, 900 he
had saved from his fists earnings on the
trip. Mccoy is a native of Indiana, but
was raised in the bluegrass region of Ken
lucky, and received his first training In
the Y. M. c. A.. gymnasium in Louisville.

silver medal for the best cocker in the

There will be no limit to weight of cock

The Breeder and Sportsman takes I'm
Gle Dick" Fellows to task for some of his
cecent decisions as follows:
Uncle Dick has made several mis-
takes at the recent shows that the secre-
tary of the A. X. C. will have to rectify.
Rule XVIII of the A. K c. rules governing
dog shows Is as follows:
'1f a prize winner Is disqualified the
next dog in order of merit as placed by
the Judges shall be given the prize thus
forfeited, and the win shall count in every
respect as If 1t had been the original award.
An equal first prize shall be counted as
u win for each dog, dividing first and sec
ond money, the next dog in order of merit
receiving third prize
Uncle Dick has been very generous
with his equal firsts and equal seconds.
but in each case he has given seconds to
his equal firsts and thirds to his equal
seconds, contrary to the rule.
We expected innovations. but when the
San Francisco Kennel club announces that
cocker spaniel classes will not be limited as
to weight, we certainly find an innovation
with a vengeance, says the Breeder and
Sportsman. We always preferred large
35-pound cocker is not disqualified he Is
certainly entitled to a win if he Is good
enough in points. Mr.. oldham S argument
that a cocker is a cocker and field span.

business Of 1891 Not only has the capa-
city OF every industry In that town been
increased, In some Instances more than
doubled, but new ones have been fairly
started and will be In full operation early
in the year. The capital invested in the
various industrial enterprises there
ranges between two and three millions Of
dollars and the output for 1897 was
greater than in any one OF the past ten
years. Especially Is this true Of the lat
ter part OF the year The local railroads
are correct barometers Of this and never
in the history OF the town has the present
local business OF the railroads been ex-
cceded
A comparison OF the business of the
local banks also shows a most healthful
growth OF their business. The First
