lean butter is being rapidly introduced
into England. The next shipment to
Europe will contain 1000 pounds Of

Greek Omcors.

1t Is perhaps in discipline more than
In anything else that the Greek SOL
dier is lacking. Even the Evzoni, how
ever good at guerilla warfare in the
mountains, would probably feel this de-
feet in a regular campaign. 1t is no
uncommon thing to hear the word of
command disputed or discussed on the
parade ground or on the march: 1t
probably would be the same on the bat
tlefield. The Greek is too democratic
in his traditions and character to ad-
init the notion of unreasoning obedi-
ence to any superior. and, moreover,
1t is a serious difficulty that there Is
no recognized class in Greece from
whom enough officers can be drawn.
Some rise from the ranks, and no
Greek can ever regard his companion
as superior to himself. There is prac-
tically no middle class in Greece. In
the country all are equal. except the
village magnates. who would not think
of entering the army. and II they did
would not retain their purely local
prestige. In Athens there are, indeed,
plenty Of rich and distinguished fam
lilies. and from some Of them the best
officers of Greece have come. But the
number Of them is naturally limited
in SO small a country. Too many of the
officers are merely loungers in boule-
wards and cafes. who probably despise
their men, and for whom their men
have no respect.-Saturday Review.

A DUBIOUS COUNTRY,

The Inhabitants of Japan neither eat
beef nor drink milk. and consequently
the cow is of no use in their domestic
economy. Besides, they have neither
mules. asses nor other beasts of bur.
den. There are numerous dogs In the
country. but they all run Wild. The
Japanese keep these animals neither
for the chase nor for protection. 1t Ia
very rare one meets a domesticated
dog, and such a dog always belongs to
a foreigner. As to sheep, goats and
swine. the Japanese do not raise them.
The place Of the wool that sheep could
furnish is taken with. them by silk,
which Is very cheap, so they do not
wear woolen garments. In Japanese
establishment. fowls are seen rarely,
ducks and pigeons still more seldom
they are raised only to satisfy the de-
mands OF foreigners. Some persons In
the suburbs OF Yeddo raise cattle, but
not for purposes Of rural economy; the
animals are used only for religious GER
emonials; In fact they are Intended to
draw the funeral car when some men,
ber Of the Mikado's. family dies.-The

Said to Be n Poet.

Frank L. Stanton says that on one
occasion when William Hamilton
Hayne was visiting Samuel Minturn
Peck at the latter's home in Tuska-
loosa, the two poets strolled into the
woods, and paused to rest beneath the
shadows of the pines. Here are your
favorite pines, Hayne," said Peck;
lets dream few poems beneath
them" The languid summer day had
its effect on them, and they were soon
snoring and dreaming away. But sud-
denly both awoke and started down the
home road at top speed, shouting as
they ran An army Of yellow jackets
had discovered them, and, not being
partial to poetry, had forcibly and feel
ingly resented its intrusion on their
domain. Later, at supper, Peck ask
ed: "Did you make a poem, Hayne?"
NO" was the meek reply; II made a
poultice." 80 did l." said Peck.-New

The troubles of the would-be self
supporting gentlewoman chill occupy
the minds of her practical friends.
Sometimes she is still young enough
to prepare for a definite niche In the
world of business or of art, says the
Commercial Advertiser. Occasionally
she has the physical robustness to be
able to do work which would soon
cause her less stalwart sister to col
lapse and have that luxury OF the rich.
nervous prostration. When woman
puts aside her supersensitiveness. Is
young and strong enough to do any
thing" and has courage and CHEEKY
manners. the case is not SO dis
heartening. With health, courage and
willingness to do anything unless ex-
pert in one speciality, no gentlewoman
need starve while ignorance Is well
paid in our nurseries and incompetence
and impudence reign supreme In our
kitchens. The latest business venture
made by reduced gentlewoman" was
In the profession" made famous 3y ia
grande Trilby." She became blan-
chtsseuse de fln. In better days she
had often suffered at the hands Of the
laundress of summer resorts, where
high prices and hasty work went hand
In hand and succeeded in running the
clothes and depicting the exchequer OF
most of the summer boarders." With
little capital. a thorough knowledge
OF the best methods of doing up hne
clothes and shop in convenient To-
cality. the plucky woman began opera
tions at big and bustling summer re-
sort. She did up" everything from
organdie ball gowns to duck yachting
dresses. and after very successful
season her verdict ia that where there
is an aptitude for such work. a knowl-
edge Of details and talent for organ
izatton the opening is q very promising
one. The reason why a gentlewoman
would have more chance Of eesd:hg
than an ordinary inexperienced person
is obvious. Most people know the an
noyance Of getting things back
scorched, torn, iron moulded, muddy
In color or hopelessly blue, limp when
they should be stiff or cracking with
starch when artistic softness was de-
sired. not to mention the after effects
Of strong powders and liquids which
are not at first apparent. but soon man
ifest themselves by general and sud
den decay. A woman Of refinement
would know exactly the way in which
the work should be done, and would
find the lighter part of 1t by no means
uninteresting or over fatiguing. and II
able to teach by demonstration and to
rule her assistants. would doubtless
prove boon and blessing in many a
town which today writhes under the
thralldom of bad laundries. Another
important point: A lady Is usually
brought up to believe her word part
Of her honor. The average lapndress.
like every dressmaker. makes promises
Just for the fun of breaking them. To
be told that ones gown would be ready
on Friday and to receive 1t promptly
on that day would be an experience SO
delightfully."- fresh and novel to any one
used to ordinary laundries as to alone
make the gentlewoman's laundry popu-
lar.
