PRIME MINISTER'S VIEWS.

London. February ia dispatch to the
Chronicle from Athens says that in the
chamber last night "wednesday Prime
Minister Delyanni being interpellated re-
garding the mission of Prince George to the
island of Crete and the report that the
powers had determined to prevent Turkey
from landing any troops at Cauea declined
to make any statement or reveal any of
the orders given to Prince George or the
captains of his torpedo boats. Premier
pelyanni declared. however, that no mat -
ter what happened the government had
fully decided as to the measures to be
taken. The government, he said, would act
with firmness. Greece and Crete, he urged,
were bound to each other by inseparahle
ties OF blood and tradition as well as by
long centuries of common suffrage and
struggles. There was no Greek heart that
would not respond to Cretes appeal for
union with Greece. This statement, pro-
duced great sensation among the leaders
of the opposition who at once announced
that further discussion would be superiiu-
Gus. The legislative chamber then adj
journed.

men and children. were massacred at Kis-

summer abroad because fashion DIGS,
this article is not addressed; nor to
another which is bound to some
thronged hOte4 because the "eligibles"
are already there. But to all who
cease work for time because they
find it advisable to take rest, and
to that multitude which would glad
ly save every dollar till "the groves
grow again. the Citizen would offer
some suggestions that have ripened
under the suns of long experience.
Do not believe that the sweetest
rest is utter idleness- rest that re-
cuperates the body, strengthens the
brain, and enlarges the heart does
not come through door left open
in utter laziness during the torpor of
nervous exhaustion and the conges-
ton of fancy imagination, sympathy,
and study. That which is worth hav-
ing must be won, and rest must be
wooed as love is gained-by the might
of strong endeavor and the will to do
and dare.
Most of us have not yet learned to
divine the difference between work
and rest. Nothing is labor that we
tant lessons of life is learned when ex-
perience has taught us how to work.
Put the mind and soul and body in
thorough accord and endurance be-
comes almost limitless and our pow
ers are multiplied till they verge upon
the infinite Because of this fact not
all American wives are yet dead, and
the average boy cannot wear himself
out in a week.
alton, play, rest no matter how hard
the work or how close the application
it entails When a strong man so
loves me task he is set to do that the
discharge of duty becomes a pleas
ure, he has escaped the curse which
makes labor the price of excellence,
and he is free as the angels are.
If then the duty devolving upon
such man be high and noble he be-
comes by the association what we
only vaguely define as "genious" or
worship as inspiration-someth ing
above our standard and beyond all
but reverenti al study. So Shakespeare
wrote the plays which no other work
of humanity approaches-so Bacon
gave us Novum Organum so Scott
wrote his novels, so Napoleon fought
and Boone prepared the way for those
who created new states and so Mar
shall interpreted the laws for the
growing empire to which Jefferson
gave outward form and semblance.
Do not contemplate an idle time,
therefore, or you will weary in a
week and yearn for the old work as
relief to ennui. But change the daily
routine for some employment you
have always imagined your natural
vocation, find friend of kindred
tastes and plunge into it up to your
ears and with all your soul and
strength.

Commissioner Wight wishes thoroughly
to understand the meaning of both these
raids. and TO place the blame IL there is
any for tie condition OF Mrs. Doten. lie does

Commiss o1er Wight continued: ut seemt

much more than the truth, and there seems
no reason for their publication.
LAS TO the statement that young Bald

cinct station this was utterly without
foundation The officers tell me hat Bald
win staid at the station, hoping to earn
the reward for Cars capture. He had

There are rumors that this investigation
of the Second precinct may be the cause
of considerable rearrangement of affairs
in the precinct. Hints are also afloat that
many changes in the entire police depart

these, however, could be learned from Com.

Fresh air and plenty of pleasurable ex-
ercise are good for woman. But ur-
fortunately all women are not rich. Most
women have work to do-duties to per-
form; duties that sometimes, wrongly,
seem more important than her health.
Nine women in ten have some trouble
peculiar to their sex because they are
fareless, because they have inherited
weakness, because they neglect little
symptoms that grow into health-wreck-
ing disorders.
Over so years ago DR.. R. Y. Pierce, of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y, saw the need of some
simple, effective, and certain cure for SO
called "female complaint" He was
then, as now, a specialist in the diseases
of women, and the result of his study and
experiments was the marvelously effec-
tive remedy known all over the civilized
world as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t cures where doctors have failed.
It cures where medicines have been use
less. It cures in perfectly natural way
by purifying and strengthening the Or

It leaves the whole body in better con-
