Ladies of Athens.

My old ideas about Athenian ladies being mewed up in the gynecee, writes Mrs. Crawford in London Truth, have been quite unsettled by visiting the Par thenon and the noble museum-the work of Greek patriotism. Is it possi- ble that those girls, their sisters, their mothers and aunts, did not understand what the procession of the daffodil pep lum meant? They could not have been enlightened at Eleusis tread Cicero on the Eleusinian Mysteries) and benight- ed at Athens, the university city of the that they were not engaged in any act of fetishlsm, but of homage to the wise, the just, the true, Sarcophagi at the museum of Athens gave us beautiful vistas on family life there. To believe the baS-reliefs upon them, the daughter and the mother were cherished and honored. Their condition afforded no parallel to that of the Mohammedan women. It was rather that of the bour- geoise of Provence and her girls. Their daily occupations kept them at home, and not masculine compulsiOn. There were no factories or workshops. The home was a hive of industry. Nausicca help ed to wash the family linen; Penelope, the great lady of Ithaca, spun her web, and glorious Athene patrOnized domes- tic industries. How could girls gad about when their artistic honor as en- broiderers of the daffodil peplum was at stake?

The art of listening is often spoiled by the mental attitude of prejudging. When We begin to listen, We quickly take sides for or against, as critic or ad- vocate, and from that moment we cease to be good listeners certainly we are no longer impartial or fair ones. We welcome that which agrees with our notions and exaggerate its relative value, while that which Is opposed to them we ignore and forget. We are not great enough to listen for the sake of truth, and try to discover it what ever it may be; we listen with avidity to that which we like and turn a deaf ear to the opposite. AS, when we look through colored glass, the whole land scape assumes that color, so, when We listen through the medium of private prejudice, we hear only its echo.

Bought the Island.

An amusing incident occurred during the last cruise of the English ship Roy alist in the neighborhood of the New Hebrides. The time arrived for the holding of the annual prize shooting, but no suitable place could be found for the erection of a target except a small island in Southwest Bay. This, however, was tribal property, and as the natives had been taught to fear the power of big guns, they bargained that they should be paid for the island, as 1t was sure to be blown to pieces. Elab- crate negotiations ended in a chief go- ing off to the ship, when the requisite agreements were entered into, and Capt. Rason, of the Royalist, became the owner of the island, the considera- ton being five sticks of tobacco. A tar get was then erected and some excel lent shooting took place

The weather man stationed at Cleve- land, Ohio, has been subjected to a grave injustice at the hands of a local magistrate named Ong. He was obliged to go to jail because he refused to at tend court and testify whether 1t rain ed or not on a certain day, and because he refused also to pay the fine imposed on him for contempt. Judge Ong re- tented, 1t Is true, after an hour or so, but this did not lessen the indignity i'm posed on the weather man. Something should be done with this Magistrate Ong for his unpardonable lack of sense. By what right did he order this wealth CT man into court for the purpose of extracting a specific declaration as to the weather? Did the wretched Ong ever hear of a weather man who knew anything about the weather? Ought not the very title of weather man" make the bearer sacred from any at tempts to extort from him information about the weather? But even suppos- ing that this particular weather man did happen to know what the weather was on the day in question. Was 1t fair to drag him into court and force him to stultify himself? If the day about which this Judge Ong was so curious happened to have been flair" it is altogether probable the weather man Is on record as having predicted bliz- gard. If perchance it rained or showed on that day the predictions will un- doubtedly show flair" Surely the weather man is entitled to some pro- lection, and if he is badgered in this fashion he may get into the habit of occasionally making correct predic- tions, which would seriously impair his usefulness. Cold weather forecasts cause a general Outpouring of spring overcoats, and flair and warm" means umbrellas and warm clothing, for, like dreams, these predictions go by oppo- sites. But if courts are to be encour- aged in sending the weather man to jail the public will be thrown back again on the more uncertain goose hone

John Bright once said of Gladstone: "He is an honest man; he believes what he says. The worst of it is that he too readily believes what he wishes to be- lieve." To a question whether that was not something like self-deceit, Mir. Bright replied: 'No; MT. Gladstone sees an object which he thinks of vital importance, and he turns In all direc- tiOns for arguments in support of 1t. He find them, and he becomes uncon- sciOus of anything outside of them. That is not self-deceit." To the Objec- ton that it was dangerous quality in a statesman to be able to see only that side of a question which he wished to see, Mir. Bright replied that every man who had done anything great in the world had been of that constitution. You cannot do great thing" he con- cluded, If you have doubts of your pO- sition and reasons"

Passing of the Drum Major.

"The drum major as he used to exist, the pride of the band and the glory of the procession is a thing of the past" remarked bandmaSter. Tn his place freaks of all kinds are now popular, from small boys with their twirling baton to fellows who carry a musket and go through all kinds of fancy evO- lutions while the band plays on. The drum major plays but little part in a band except for show. Though the small boys thought he led the band in It's music as we'll as otherwise, he had no more to do with the music than has the letter r as far as sound goes In the word pneumatic. The brass band Is led by it's leader, and the only thing that was expected of the drum major was to look as important as he could. The fellow who led the Pittsburg band in the inaugural parade drew a larger salary for his ability and skill at hand ling a musket he carried than did any of the players in the band outside of the leader, who is always the financial as we'll as the musical manager of the band. d."-Washington Evening Star.

Manufacture of Wooden Boxes.

Among the thousands of industries whose headquarters are located in New York is the manufacture of wooden boxes. Over 90 per cent. of the buSi- ness of the world in this particular line of goods is done through New York. It is not surprising, then, that the me tropoliS should boast of the largest and oldest box establishments in the world
 Fancy boxes of every description are made. They are all shapes, sizes and styles, and they are finished in a great variety of cOlOrs.
 Tt Is not generally known, but it is a fact" said a prominent member of the trade, that wooden boxes are cheaper than those made of paper, glass or tin."
 They are shipped to almost every country in the world, one large New York house having established agencies in all the European countries, Asia and Australia
 Patent automatic machinery is used in their manufacture, and over ten mil lion feet of lumber a year is made into boxes by one large New York firm alone

The antitrust law just enacted in Georgia is a very comprehensive and thorough one. It is based upon the theory that free competition in all forms of business is a personal right and a public advantage, and that a wrong is done whenever it is suppressed room left for the escape of any com. binatiOn designed to control prices or to interfere with the general laws of trade. It remains to be proved if a law so stringent and far-reaching can be enforced, and its power and useful ness will depend very largely upon the ability and integrity of the officers and the friendly disposition of the courts.

RAINED OYSTER SOUP.
So This Railroad Man Said to His
 Friends.

So This Railroad Man Said to His Friends.
 He was more than an ordinarily ac- | complished liar for an amateur, and they all knew 1t when they asked him l for story.
 II can tell you how I once ran an engine and saved train load of people with an oyster stew, if you want to | know, but I don't think of anything more exciting than that" he said apol- ogetically.
 That's good enough" they all de clared. Give us that"
 "All right, then, here goes" he said, once engineer on a road that ran for a long distance through the forests of | Northern Wisconsin, and we were fire ! Quently bothered by forest fires. They were particularly bad at the time speak of.
 "One day had run through one big ! blaze, only to find that there was big | ger one ahead. The worst of 1t was we were low on water, and there was no l chance to fill the tank without dashing i through the fire ahead of us. 1 sent the ! fireman out to see if we had enough to make tue run, but he came back and told me the boiler was almost dry.
 'I was puzzled for a while It was death to all of us I knew to stay there, but how to get out was the question. Suddenly happy thought struck me. There was milk car just behind the first baggage car and made for it.
 How much milk have you got? says to the fellow in charge.
 "'About forty cans, guess he an- swered. Why do you askT
 "'Never mind,' says 1. Whats that in those cans in the corner?
 "'Oysters,' he answered. But why do you want to know?
 "'Never you mind' I told him, and then l ordered the other train hands who had come up to see why we had stopped to tote that milk and those oys- ters up to the engine. They did it in spite of the kicking of the milkman, and when they had brought them up I ordered them all chucked into the tank. 1.-The conductor came up, too, and de clared it was funny notion to be mak- ing oyster stew in an engine boiler, but I soon convinced him that 1t was nec- essary if we did not want to stay there and roast.
 Well, we finally dumped in all the milk and all the oysters and started ahead. You ought to have smelled the steam that came back into that engine cab. It would have made you think of an Old-time church festival Whew! How that soup did smell. It made the engine jump, though, and that was all we wanted.
 we got up great head of steam in no time, and the way we plunged through that next fire belt was a eau tion. AS we pulled up at the next sta tion just beyond I opened up and be- gan to whistle. A great cloud of oyster soup or vapor shot into the sky, of course, and didn't come down till we were far out of sight. Then 1t settled like thick fog, oysters, soup and all.
 ''EverybOdy noticed it, of course, and there was a country scientist in the town who was sure it was the greatest phenomenon of the age It was rain- ing oyster soup up there he was sure, and the next issue of the weekly papers were full of it-not the soup, but the news of it. After the residents up that way had all swallowed it-not the soup, but the story-we told them about 1t, and that was the silliest looking scientist I ever saw"

One of the nrincinal clauses nf

One of the principal clauses of the di- vorce law in France forbids marriage between the respondent and co-respon- dent of a case. This has been practic- ally set at naught by the recent de- cision of the supreme court of appeal at Paris, according to which the tribunals have no power to annual a union of this kind in instances where the parties thereto have been able to secure the celebration of their marriage by some public officer ignorant of their ante rodents

True self-sacrifice, which is always ready to subordinate the monetary and partial self to the permanent and whole self. can never come into conflict with the real good of others. Both are nOur. ished from the same source, both suf. fer if either is injured. He who neg lects or injures others wounds himself in vital part; he who neglects or in- jures himself as surely reduces the hap piness and impairs the welfare of others
