Greece Does Not Fear blockade.

ATHENS, April 9.-The conviction still
prevails here that the blockade of Greece
will not be enforced, though some of the
diplomats believe it will soon be an accom-
plished fact The ministerial Proia indig-
nantly denies to-day the charge that the
government is prepared to barter Crete for
territory assigned to Greece by the Berlin
conference. 1t is urged here that the pow
ers cannot lawfully prevent Greece from
advancing to the frontier line granted her
by the decision of united Europe, and of
which she was deprived by the contuma-
cious refusal of Turkey to confirm.

King George Opposed to War.

LONDON, April 9.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says: "A friend who
knows and likes the King of Greece and
who is we'll acquainted with his views on
the present complications assures me that
King George has made and is making every
effort to prevent war. / am convinced that
this statement IS the exact truth. The
Greeks know as well as anybody that if
war broke out il would be. according TO the
expression of a prominent diplomat in
Paris not battle. but massacre. No one
has any illusions on this matter or fails to
understand the difficulty there would be in
stopping masSacreS, IN preventing the
Turks from giving free rein 10 their thirst
for carnage and preserving the Greeks from
the barbarities OF their conquerors. No one
supposes for a moment that the Greeks
could resist the Turkish army in Thessaly.
The most Sanguine OF their supporters
merely hope that at certain well-fortifed
and wel-chosen points the Greek army
might delay for few hours or for a few
days the advances of the conquerors. The
surprising thing is that King George. his
counselors and Greece herself. knowing

MILLIONS FOR FARMERS.

Estimates on Their Enormous Share
in the New Era of Prosperity.
New York, Aug. 16.-Estimates of
Wall street men bring the total amount
to be gained by western farmers this
year up to $70O,000,000. Another esti-
mate, prepared under the direction of
Col. James H. Brigham. acting secre-
tary of agriculture, for the World, is
based on the crops of 1896. The impress
sion now is that the yields for this year
will not differ widely from those of last
year. In some instances the figures
may be slightly in excess and other
products may note a slight decrease.
Eight products chosen as illustrating
the vast financial benefits accruing to
the farmers of the United States from
the recent rapid rise in prices are cattle,
wheat, corn. potatoes, cotton, sheep,
swine. and wool. Careful comparison
has been made of the prices now pre-
vailing with those which obtained dur
ing the whole of last year. The results
show an inflow of $410,00o,0O0 to the
pockets Of the farmers. To this large
sum-, which is already in sight. mus:
he added an estimate IF 100000, 900 for
the increased profits that have been.
realized on crops of oats, barley, rye,
hay, flax, hops and other miscellaneous
but valuable products of the farm.

halted and robbed as it drove up. Col.
Young has an excellent description Of
the men and it will be almost impossible
for the highwaymen to leave the park,
as soldiers are guarding every possible
outlet. None of the passengers in the
coaches were hurt.

surrounding oak and chestnut trees.
AS the idler sat on remnant of the
old dam a frog about four inches in
length was suddenly projected from
under the leaves. At first the idler
was puzzled to know how it managed
to stand in the air in such manner,
but soon he saw that it was held in the
jaws of a snake. The snake was less
than two feet long and was what was
known locally as a>water moccasin.
His head was about half an inch broad
and his neck smaller in size than an
ordinary lead pencil. The frog in the
thickest part was about two inches
across. The snakes jaws were closed
just over the end of one of the frogs

worked the smaller end of the frogs
leg down his throat. Then he became
more quiet. Now he began a slow.
monotonous task. His jaws worked
continuously, but with motion hardly
perceptible, aided by an occasional
strained contortion of the snakes neck.
Soon the frog was but mere lump
in the snakes throat, and finally it
passed downward. Then the snake
raised his head and neck in a graceful
curve and his little nervous, forked
tongue shot out at regular intervals.
Then, spying his observer for the first
time, he slid quickly under the leaves
just in time to escape a blow with a
light stick. It took the snake about Is
minutes to swallow that frog, and no
doubt he had swallowed many larger,

well, I know. Of course you do.
Nothing else could have made this tooth
look as it does. This biting of thread is
the most pernicious thing in it's effect
on the teeth that a woman can do. It is
surprising how many Of them have I'M
consciously fallen into the habit. It
would require only an extra second to
take up the scissors and clip the thread,
but the woman who sews lifts the gar
ment to her mouth and with those sharp
teeth sewers the thread, thereby gain
ing fraction of a minute, perhaps, but
at the same time literally saving the
enamel off her teeth. Gnawing thread
once or twice day cannot possibly be
harmful, you argue. Probably not. But
when you bite it score or more times
a day and repeat that every day in the
year the effect is bound to be seen at

The .'sCapitu1atiOns.''

In the discussion of terms of peace
between Greece and Turkey, frequent
reference has been made to TURKEYS
demand for the abolition of the capitu-
lations. These capitulations are the
provisions by which Greek subjects res
ident in Turkey share with the subjects
of other independent powers the right
to appeal from Turkish tribunals to
their own consular courts. There are
several million Greeks living in differ
cnt parts of the Turkish empire, and
among them are many active business
men, and some of large means. Turkish
courts are VIGOROUSLY oppressive and
corrupt, and it would be serious mat
ter to these millions of Greeks if they
were left without appeal from their
jurisdiction.-Youth's Companion.

"A GREAT CHERRY oRchARD.
How nm Immense Crop Il Handled ON
RE s q CalifOrnia Ranch,

How nm Immense Crop II Handled ON
a5California Ranch. 81.
Probably there is no better known
and certainly there are few larger
ranches in the state Of California than
that owned by the Meek estate. 1t is
situated a little way outside the city Of
Oakland and it covers huge tract Of
land between San Lorenzo and Hay.
wards. It is spread over 3 300 acres Of
some of the finest fruit bearing G. luntry
on the Pacific coast. A thousand acres
of this extent is in fruit, for the most
part cherries. HI
The ranch is owned and controlled by
the two Meek brothers and their sis
tiers, how skillfully may be known from
the fact that in spite of hard times and
| a depressed market there has never
been 4 year when it has not paid, and
paid literally. A full crop of cherries
from this wonderful orchard will bring
it's owners anywhere from $50, 1000 to
$40, 900.
The seasons cherry picking goes on
at q great rate, and a little army of
p;ckers toll from tree to tree, stripping
the branches like swarm of locusts.
The sight is picturesque, for the
pickers come by families and live in
the cherry orchard in small village of
tents. At the height of the season near
ly $50 pickers are employed. They are
of all ages and both sexes, as the work
is of such nature that it can be per-
formed as we'll by women as by men,
as we'll by ten-year-old girl as by a
grown man. The pickers are, of course,
boarded at the expense of the ranch,
and besides.5are paid from Is cents to
a dollar, a~day, SO, that wife and two
or three children can make as much
money during the few weeks of the
picking season as the head of the house
can earn during the entire year.
After the picking the cherries are
taken over to the packing house and
handled atonce. The ripper cherries are
sorted out and put upon local markets,
while the more backward are shipped
east. The force Of packers can dispose
of 420 boxes per day. Two thousand
boxes go to the car load, and must be
hurried to their destination as speedily
as possible, for there is no fruit that
loses its flavor quicker by overkeeping
than the cherry. For the same reason
the boxes must be rapidly marketed,
for they will not keep many hours in
the heat of an eastern summer. There
are plenty of difficulties in the way OF
getting the California cherry upon the
dining tables of the eastern consumer
but with ordinary care and fair season
the prices obtainable are not bad. In
Chicago a ten-pound box of California
cherries can be made to bring dol.
lar if properly handled, while in New
York, though the eastern local market
comes into competition, the same quail.
! ity will sometimes sell for IL cents &
pound.-San Francisco Wave.

MAKING THE TORTllLA.

Main Article of Food.


Main Article of Food.
The tortilla is typical of old Mexico
and is encountered wherever the in
fuence of the cactus republic has
reached. It was found as the main ar
ticle of food among the ancient Aztecs
at the time of the Spanish conquests,
more than 31a centuries ago, and the
little hand-ground and palm-fashioned
corn cake has well held it's own down
through the ages, being to-day as popu-
lar and in as general use as ever.
=. Shelled corn intended for this use is
first soaked over night in limewater un-
til the outer huslz of the kernels is loose
enough to be removed by being rolled
between the hands and is then ready for
grinding. This is done by the Mexican
women of the lower class, who often
work in the doorways of their homes,
bending over the historic stone hand
mill, called in Mexico a metate. The
mill is simply a rough slab of stone
supported by four stocky legs and is
made of volcanic tufa, the coarse grain
of which is best adapted for the grind
ing of the corn, beans, chile, seeds,
cheese or whatever it may be desired to
finely pulverize. The stone handmill
is an Indispensable item in the culinary
outfit of the tropical home. The ac-
companying hand piece, looking like
rude rolling pin, is also of stone and
is briskly worked up and down the in
cline of the crude stone table by the
woman as she bends to her work with
a steady swing of body, shoulders and
arms. -#, n 80 =. E
It is claimed that the -four for the
