hope temporarily, by the efinancial entansle-
ments of the Greek government.
During that period the immigration Of
well-to-do Greeks from abroad has not
been one of the least causes of this devel-
opment In 1879 the census showed d
population of nearly 1000; In 1889,
ia, 900, and today, judging by the vital
and building statistics, the number OF
inhabitants, If it does not exceed, cannot
fall short of 140, 600. The progress of
the newly created town Of PiraeHs is not
less remarkable From 5000 to 5000
souls, which had already gathered there
some thirty years ago, its population had
grown to 81 900 in 1899, and it is now
estimated at more than 40 200. To-
gether the two towns number as many in
habitants as they probably possessed in
the fourth century B. C.
The sources of Information as to the
population of ancient Athens are indeed
vague; but from a passage Of Xcnophon
giving the number OF families as 10000.
and from a passage OF Athenaeus, indi-
eating the proportion Of slaves to freeinen
at the time of pemetrius Phalereus 1t
may be calculated that at that epoch
the population of Athens, including Chat
of Piraeus, was about 80, 900. The area
included within the walls Of both owns
seems rather 20 confirm this estimate.
The surrounding country was thickly popu-
lated-mucli more so than at any succeeding
period; but it is more than probable rhas
the inhabitants Of Athens proper and OF
her seaport never exceeded 200, 900. Gent

MGR. SCHROEDER'S DENIAL
Not Responsible for Recent Attacks
on Catholic Liberalism.
The Article Reputed to Have Been
Written by Hin Published With
out His Authority.

A German-American Catholic newspaper
of St Louis recently printed an i,rucie
over the signature Of Mgr. Joseph Schroe-
der. of the Catholic University, in Which
a bitter attack was made on the liberals
in The churclf The publication created
quite a stir ia Catholic circles throughput
the country, and it was regarded assthe
beginning of new warfare between the
conservative and liberal elements in the
church.
Dr. Schroeder now comes forward with a
positive denial that he wrote tie article
or that he was in any way responsive Tor
it's publication. This statement he made
before his class on dogmatic theoiog-.
He asserted that the article Was COM
posed of matter which he had spoken ard
written at different times, but that MI.
Preuss. editor Of the st. Louis paper, mad
taken extracts from his sermons, lectures
and conversations and put them toge 'ner
into an article which he had printed over
Mgr Schroeder's sgnatuIe withodl uls
knowledge OF authority
while NonsienoF Schroeder stood iespon-
sihle for the sentiments OF the article III SO
far as he had utt cred them and i'll the con
nection in which lie had uttered them, he
did not stand responsible for the article as
publishc,i in ST Louis. This reputation was
m a measure pubic one, and Monsienor
Schroeder has told others in private that be
did not write the article. Ii is expected
that Nh Preuss viii give an explanation or
the matter in the next isS lie of fas paper.

Don't wear too tight shoes if you de-
sire a graceful carriage; no woman can
walk comfortably or well in shoe that
is too small. Besides, small shoe dis
torts the foot in an unnatural manner that
deceives no one.
Don't depend entirely on soap and
water for cleaning the hands. Have a
small brush to scrub them, a cake of
pumice stone, the, velvet kind, to re-
move stains and some borax to whiten
them.
Don't resort to artificial means to
furnish what nature has denied you.
Powder clogs the pores Of the skin and
rouge is only fit to be used behind the
footlights. Moreover, it is not an inn
provement; nothing is pretty that is not
natural.
Don't cut the skin at the base Of the
nails with the scissors, an inexperienced
hand is apt TO do more harm than good.

Faded Flowers.

Ny love she sent flower to me
OF tender hue and fragrance rare,
And with it came across the sea
letter kind as she was fair;
But when her letter met mine eyes
The flower, the little flower, was dead;
And ere l touched the tender prize
The hues were dim, the fragrance fled.
/ sent my love letter, too,
In happy hope no more to roam:
/ bade her bless the vessel true
Whose gallant sails should watt me home.
But ere my letter reached her hand,
My love, my little love, was dead:
And when the vessel touched the land,
Fair hope for evermore had fled.

ANCIENT AND MODERN ATHENS.
The City Nearly as Popular at the
Present Time as 1t Ever Was.

Present Time as 1t Ever Was.
AncientAthens spread round the Acropo-
lis, especially on the hills facing the south,
which is now unin habited. The new town
lies to the north OF the antique citadel-an
extension OF the cluster of houses already
existing at the foot of the rock where the
war was ended. Two main intersecting
streets were laid out, Aeolas street, starting
from below the Acropolis and drunningnorth
ward, and Hermes street, leading from the
royal palace toward the Piraeus. The cap
ital was thus designed TO lie in the valley
between the Acropolis on one side, and
Mount Lycabettus on the other. No am
bition of future development is traceable
in the original plan.
The ground chosen and the width of the
| main streets tend to show that the founders
! of the new city little. dreamed of it's
rapid extension. Squeezing herself out of
her narrow confines the city has gradu-
ally scaled the foot of Lycabettus and
spread beyond the valley on both sides,
principally in soutbwesterly direction
If the extension had been in a straight
line toward the sea, Athens would now be
nearing a junction with the Piraeus: but
both towns, as IL avoiding each other,
extend in parallel lines, and one must look
to probably distant future for the day
when they shall be connected by rows of
houses. instead of the long walls of an
cient days.
The fashionable quarters ofthe capital are
TO be found in the new additions to the prirn-
itive plan-the Neapolis, as it Is called.
Large thoroughfares have there been OPEN

private, and Athens. already the finestcity

handsomest cities on the Mediterranean.
Under King 0tho' sreign progress wascom-
paratively slow. At the accession of King
George, in the year S63, the population did
