for years on what he could find in the
garbage boxes of the ueiChborhood. If
any of his Swedish countrymen offered
him drink he requested to be given
the coin it would cost and pocketcd
it with thanks.
Many stories are told of Halle

houses. and servant who did not
know him came to the door She assum-
cd he was a tramp. and without qucs-

The progress of the modern capital of
Greece will not astonish American read
ers, but Athens in no way resembles
New York or Chicago, nor is Greece
America. Between the two countries
there is no point of comparison whatso-
ever. The Americans, springing from
and connected with a powerful European
nation, began their carer with all the
advantages and few Of the drawbacks of
civilization. They had only to confront
the physical obstacles to their possession
Of the extensive territories which at
tracted and rewarded their enlightened
energy, and immigration accelerated
the formation Of a glorious common
wealth. The Greeks, emerging from
ages Of debasing serfdom, had no politi-
cal or social or intellectual preparation
for the work of regeneration. After hav-
ing achieved by dint of desperate efforts
the independence Of a part only of their
land and race they had to undergo a
series of revolutions before settling
down into an organized body politio.
Moreover, the belief that the national
unity is not yet complete has tended,
and long may tend, to retard the work
Of, internal development. Neither these
considerations, O the fact that the
whole country was a scene of d~esolation
at the close of the war of independence,
must be lost sight of in forming a judg-
ment as to the progress thus far effect.

Death by Electricity.

Scientists think that death by cleo.
tricity on lightning is painless. They
do not know that it is so, but infer that
it is from these facts:
The. nerves communicate the sensa.
tion of pain by their vibrations OF
movements, which are at the rate of 90
feet per second. Electricity moves in a
copper wire at the rate Of 1913, 900 miles
per second. Hence ii is probable that a
strong current Of electricity kills q mar
before his nerves a make him con.
scions Of the shock.
Professor Tyndall, while lecturing al
the Royal institution, London, acciden-
tally touched with his shoulder the con
ductor leading from 10 Leyden jars,
charged with electricity. He thus de.
scribes the effect on his body:
II am extremely sensitive to elec-
tricity, yet a charge from such a pow

no disastrous effect upon me. I stood

While a certain militia regiment was

she was playing with the children a
militiaman, passing, stole a loaf and
ran off. The woman, observing him,

reason.

A Dog Story.

Two dogs belonging to an Iowa man
disappeared and remained absent for
nine days. On the tenth day the man
was surprised to see the dogs come stag
gering into the house, thin and haggard
looking. Investigation revealed that a
neighbor was out hunting, and on the
banks of a creek his dogs began to
whine at a hole in the ground, and
nothing could make them move away
from the spot. Satisfied that something
was wrong, the man procured a spade
and began digging, and the dogs assist
ed him. Fully six feet of earth was
taken away, when he came upon the
imprisoned dogs. 1t seems that they
chased a rabbit into its burrow, and in
digging after it they threw the dirt
back, thus closing up the hole and pre-
venting their own escape. There they
had lain for nine days. and their sur
vival is a wonderful proof of the tenaci-
ty OF life in lower animals. Exchange.

When a man has a grudge against a

When a woman joins an equal suffrage
association, she begins to sympathize

A woman who has no work to do is
almost as unhappy as n who has no
queer neighbors to talk about.
A woman's idea of diplomacy is to
pay a hired girl a months extra wages
so she won't talk to the neighbors' girls.
Women can never understand why a
