A HEROIC HISTORY.
The Stormy Carrcr of the Little Isln


The Stormy Carccr of the Little Island
of Crete.
There are not many islands with a
more stormy ~ more heroic history than
that of Crete. IN r,inUtc antiquity it
was the rcoOUb:abIc isle Of one hum
bred cities and had an illustSinus lrno
of kings, among who Were Rhadaman-
thus, Minos and ldomCncus. The last
named led IA fleet Of 50 ships to assist i'll
the conquest Of Troy and WAS the last
of what we may call the legendary
kings. After him Il gap of several cen
turtles occurs and when the record is re-
sumcd it is no longer fable, but authcn-
tic history.
AT the time Of the Persian invasion
of Greece the island was ropulCus and
prosperous. 1t was divided into several
independent republics, which, like those
of pcninsulGr l~lellas, were not always
in peace and friendship with each other.
They kept free flum foreign wars, low
ever, except as they voluntarily furnish
ed mcrCcnary troops TO whichever side
would pay TIE Lest fer them. This WAS
done in both the Persian and PcllopCI-
nesian war;, when the Clctan mChuIs
were rs noted and us dreaded us those
of merry England in later days.
The prov Uss Of the ancient Cretaus
and their insular position kept them
free from invasion down almost to TIE
Christian era. While the eagles of Rome
"flappcd wide wings i'll fiery flight
over nearly all else Of the known world
that island retained its independence.
Indeed it was only through intestine
quarrcls that it was at last sutdued.
Some 20 years before the Christian era
Rome took advantage of the prevailing
discOrd in Crete 10 invade the island, On
the pretcxt that the Cret;ns had given
aid and comfort To Mithridatcs and had
i'll treated some Roman soldiers. Tie
first army was rcpulscd and almost i'll
initiated by the Crctans.
But Rome was determined to achieve
the conquest if it took the whole power
of her empire. Army after army WAS
sent, and after three years Of desperate
fighting Rome prevailed. For the first
time in her history Crete became, i'll Is
B. c., subject to an alien master. From
that day to the present, for more than
1900 years, she has been IL conquered

THE THIRD WARD TIE,

The city counc has passed upon a
very close legal question and an election
ID TO be held in the Third ward. Even
10 good an attorney us the mayor has
heeatated about giving an opinion in the
matter, and has repeatedly refused ut
the council meetings to pass upon the
question. Other legal lights were also
~ the dark, some OF the leading demo-
Gratis avoring the plan OF letting the
matter go by default in order that the
new mayor and council might ill the
Third ward vacancy. OF course, the spe-
cial election defeats this plan Of the I'M
terrified.
MIR. Grant is OF the opinion that if the
council had decided the tie under section
y of the new law and had seated Mr..
bamforth, the matter would lave been
taken into u INT declared illegal.
He Is firmly OF the opinion that all mat
ters pertaining to the recent election
must be settled under the provisions OF
the old law. and therefore holds to the
belief that the seating of Bamforth
: would have been an illegal net and
would have redounded to the benefit of
the democrats, for the reason that the
unseating of that gentleman by the
courts would have created a vacancy in.
to which Larry Fee would doubtless
have been injected. Mr.. Settele now al
so adheres to this view Of the matter.
Right o. wong. h matter of a spe-
cial election Is now determined, and it
is to be hoped that snap Judgment will
not be attempted with the people of the
Third ward. They are entitled to a
voice in the selection OF the city officers
for the ensuing year and in Difference
to that right appointments should be
held in allegiance till me election on the
West Side is settled. tMr. Fees term in
the city council will expire next Tues
day, at the same moment e.at Mr.. Mil
Ter assumes the duties of his office, and
pending the election the Third ward will
be without representation.
The city charter provides that the ad-
vice and consent of the city council shall
be had in the matter OF making appoint
ments, and therefore the vacancy in the
Third ward should be filled before ap-
pointments are made, in order that the
people Of the West Side may have prop
er representation. This is u matter OF
simple justice.

Characteristic. Suggest Names.

Some of the glad young people of the
South Side have a new game. 1t may
not be so new either, but it always has
a fresh interest because in this game
every players knowledge of current
events can be tested. Each one playing
the game has a slipof paper bearing the
name of some we'll known man or woman
pinned squarely in the middle of his
back. He cannot see the card, but all of
the other players can. They address GER
tain remarks to him and ask questions,
and from the nature of these remarks
and questions he is supposed to guess
who he is-that is, what name is ON his
back.
Sometimes it does not require much
of a tip to enable a person to guess the
name. For instance, the other evening
one of the players was told, "You ought
to get your side whiskers trimmed. :"
Immediately he said, Il must be Wash
ington Hesing."
Another player who was told that he
would probably like Washington better
than Chicago at once made the shrewd
guess that he was Lyman j. Gage.
One young man said to a young wom-
an, "What lovely red hair you havel'
And she replied: Certainly. ] am Mrs.
Carter"
The most casual reference to ducks
satisfied one man that he was carrying
the name of Grover Cleveland. A mar
who was told he ought to give his SON a
chance said: ""That's easy enough. I'm

How Bees Gather Honey.

Bees gather honey by the aid of their
"trunk," clover lip" or tongue"
which is used as an instrument for ex-
tracing the nectar from flowers. The
''tongue" of a bee is not, as was once
thought to be the case, a tube through
which the juice is sucked, but is built
more after the fashion of a fine broom.
With this broom the bee brushes or laps
the honey or honey material from the
flowers, leaves, etc., and passes it down
a groove in the upper surface of the
tongue to the mouth proper. From that
point the juice is conveyed through a
minute orifice into the FIRST stomach"
vulgarly called the "honey bag" The
''honey Bag is a real chemical labora-
tory, where, by some mysterious process
which has not yet been explained by
science, the juices are converted into
pure honey. When the chemical process
of Transforming their nectar into viscid
honey has been completed, the bee dis
gorges it into one of the cells made for
the purpose of a receptacle.
For years the microscopes and the
~entomologists have been studying the
bees laboratory, but its workings are
at present among the unexplained mys-
teries st. Louis Republic.

An Equal Standard of Morals.

II believe absolutely in an equal
standard of morals for men and
women" writes Edward w. Box in
The Ladies' Home Journal, replying
to an inquirer. Nor is this an ideal
condition because it does not now
exist. 1t is not at all unlikely that
such equality will be the standard
of the future. At all events, for
yourself live a pure life, so that you
may be able to look every woman
in the world in the face and have
the greatest satisfaction that can
come to a man; that when you mar
ry you a give to the girl of your
heart what you expect that she will
bring to you-moral purity. 1t is
the most solid of all foundation
stones On which a man and a woman
can begin a life of perfect under
standing and happiness"

The Electric Furnace.


M. Moissan has an account Of his lat
est researches with the electric furnace
In a recent issue of L'Annales de Chimie
ct de Physique. He gives the prepara-
ton and properties Of titanium, molyb-
denum, uranium and the borides Of iron
and Of carbon, the preparation Of man.
ganese and a historical account of the
researches already made on the crystal
LIKED carbides Of the alkaline earths.
He also lays claim to the discovery of
crystallized carbide Of calcium, while
assigning to Mr.. Wilson the credit of
having introduced its manufacture in
the United States. With regard to tita-
mum. M. Moissan has found that with
q current of 80 amperes and so volts
titanic acid is converted into crystal
lized oxide of titanium. With $50 am
peres and 70 volts the bronze yellow
nitride is obtained. When 1900 am.
peres and 70 volts are used, the tenn
perature rises above the point Of decom-
position of this substance, and the car.
bide is formed, free from nitrogen, and,
if this is heated with an excess of titan
ic acid, titanium containing only 2 per
cent of carbon is obtained. These sue
oessive actions, says M. Moissan, give a
decisive proof of the increase of temper
allure of the electric arc dependent on
an increase of the current and form the
starting point of another long series of
experiments. The preparation of the
crystallized compound Of iron and boron.

tion Of some workers on iron that it is

Hereditary Suicide.
An extraordinary instance of heredi.
tary tendency to suicide was told by
Professor Biouardel in Paris lately. A
farmer near Etampes hanged himself
without apparent cause, leaving a fam.
lily of seven son and four daughters.
Ten of the IL subsequently followed the
fathers example. but not until they had
married and begotten children. all OF
whom likewise hanged themselves. The
only survivor is a son, who is now Sc
years of age and has passed safely be-
voud the family hanging age.

A few years ago a statesman Of Eu'
ropean fame visited Bismarck at Fried.
richsruh, and the two walked together
through the latter's plantation Of exotic
pines and frs, of which both were col
lectors. The visitor improved O lapse in
the conversation about oonifers to bring
up the then recent topic of Boulanger.
"Did Germany at the time really take
him ~seriously?' he asked. "And what
did you yourself think of the man?''
The ex-chancellor, apparently in all
candor, replied that he. knew very little
of the subject. at is true that l was in
Office at the time" he said. but just
then there was a kind of beetle which
got in among these frs of mine and was
eating out the central shoots, and really
that worried me so that 1 scarcely paid
any attention at all to what Boulanger
was doing"

Street Cleaning In Paris.

1t was with especial interest that /
made my first examination of the streets
of Paris, for 1 remembered them as be-
ing in excellent condition in 1889 lex
position Year,.
After a close and careful examination
I should say that they are quite as we'll
swept as our streets, and that there is
nowhere to be found the defective pave
ment, of which we have SO much. In the
matter Of litter. however, l think that
New York is much better cared for, ex-
cept in the more frequented show Streets
and, to a certain extent even there, there
is more paper scattered, and i'll many
parts of the town much less attention
seems to be paid to its collection and
removal. On the whole, l think we lose
nothing in the comparison. New York
is as clean and at least as tidy as Paris.
The methods of work in the French cap
ital are in many respects different from
what was found in other cities and very
different from the methods here.
In 1859 the cleaning of the streets
was transferred from the prefecture dc
police to the prefecture de la Seine, and
it was then placed in the hands of the
engineering department. The cost al
that time could not be learned, but the
cost in 1879 was 8.808. 900 francs; in
1877 it was 4,618, 900; in 1889 it was
6 $3.50, 900. 1t is now about 5000, 00(
francs. Formerly it was the duty of al.
property owners to clean one-half of the
street if this did not exceed six meters
GO feet). This work is now done by thu
city and is paid for by a special tax Oh
the property, which, for this purpose, il
divided into three classes-that occupied
"a by buildings, (2) by walls or oper
grounds, a. by vacant lots. In no cas'
is the charge more than the actual cos
to the city. In some cases it is material.
less. Property holders must still remov
snow and ice from the sidewalks, ao
cording to specific regulations .-Har

First Movements During a Revolution.

T know the men Of the people in Par
is too we'll not to know that their first
movements in times of revolution are
usually generous, and that they are best
pleased to spend the days Immediately
following their triumph in boasting Of
their victory, laying down the law and
playing at being great men. During
that time it generally happens that
some government or other is set up, the
police returns to its post and the judge
to his bench, and when at last our great
men consent to step down to the better
known and more vulgar ground OF pet
ty and malicious human passions they
are no longer able to do SO and are re-
duced to live simply like honest men.
Besides, we have spent so many years
in instructions that there have arisen
among US a kind of morality peculiar
to times of disorder and a special code
for days of rebellion. According to these
exceptional laws, murder is tolerated
and havoc permitted, but theft is siren
uously forbidden, although this, what
ever one may say, does not prevent a
good deal of robbery from occurring up
on those days for the simple reason that
society in a state of rebellion cannot be
different from that at any other time,
and it will always contain a number of
rascals who, as far as they are concern
ed, scorn the morality of the main body
and despise its point of honor when
they are unobserved .-"Recollections'
