TrikOupiS and DcIyannis.

Fortunate it is, indeed, for Greece
that her passions are subject sometimes
to the Mort hman's check. In their sub
strvience to the sway of impulse and
passion the Greeks are the verest chill
Gren. The only one of their own states
men who could long control or guide
them was TrikouEs, aud he was half
Anglo-SaNon in blood, and almost EN-.
tirely English in training and temper.
His cOolneSS, his persiStency of purpose
and his fine nationality, joined to an ur-
selfish love of his fatherland which no
one could mistake, g&re him his power.
The intimate personal relations exist
ing between him and The king had been
the means of great advantage to the
state; and the brea"h between them,
due chiefly to personal and private mat
ters which have naYer yet been made
public, led to Trikoupis' fall and the
loss of the brightest political hope Of
Greece. The immediate outcome has
however, contrary to all expectation,
proved to be the great enhancement of
the political Importance of the king.
There are no great political leaders.
Delyannis. the present premier, is mere
ly a practical politician, devoid of prin.
ciples or programmes. He has main.
tained his political life in the past by
catering to personal support and profit
ing by the mistakes of Trilloupis. His
programmes have been, as witty
Greek put it, merely those of Trikoupis
with misprints." The king can yir,
tually control Delyannis; therefore to,
day the king rules.-Benjamin Ide

The Children should walk.

Every mother should teach her chill
dren the value of walking as exercise
if she wishes them to have sturdy legs.
All children except little ones should
walk at least a mile during the day in
the open air, and twice that distance is
not too far for healthy ones. In these
days children linger too long in their
carriages and in their nurses arms,
when their own legs should be eXercis.

OF serpent coils hung in festoon:
Il lead to the bOttomless pit"
No; pardon my humor, my son;
l alter the pitch of my tune;
No drinking-place wanted, not one:
No high-up or low-down saloon.
The highest is still very low
All, all are but links in a chain.
You begin at the top and you go
TOboggan-like down a steep plain;
Go downward from laughter and light,
With a swiftness that stiles the breath,
With a reel and a plunge in your flight
To regions of darkness and death;
To regions of shame and remorse
With serpent-Crowned furies to dwell.
Where the wine and wassail of earth
Give place to the horrors of hell.
Then fee, my boy, flee the saloon;
Alike do the glamour and glare
And the serpent coils hung in festoon,
Mark stages to death and despair.

The Former Cnn Secure Protection
from IntoNicnnts, the Latter Cannot.
An English newspaper the other day
gave an account of an action brought
by man named John Turner against
the Salem Distilery company, Laggan,
for injury done to his poultry by the
said company allowing Intoxicating
In his evidence he said that since the
starting OF the distillery his hens and
ducks would not eat, and they were al
ways under the influence of he drink,
and they slept and then fought, broke
the few eggs that were laid, and general
ly behaved with as little sense as drunk
en- men and women. The magistrate,
after hearing the evidence, reserved his
decision.
Commenting upon this, the GocysTem
plar's Watchword says:
This reads almost as a .roke but it
seems to be a bona tide report of a case
before the court. 1t will De interest
ing to note the decision Of the Judge,
for one cannot overlook the pathetic
side which the accurscd drink traffic is
continually bringing before our eyes.
Hens must be prOtected-a flock of
poultry must not suffer in their bodies
from the effects of strong drink, but
men, women and children, and with
them the whole nation, may suffer body
and soul because of it."

The linen suits which will be very
much worn require a certain handling
to bring out their good qualities. The
skirts are not TO be lined. for they are
strictly wash dresses, but they need -
ten-inch facing cut to the shape of the
skirt, not merely a bias strip. If n
close-fitting Elton jacket is wished to
set snug to the figure it should be lined
with the thin percale, boned and
hooked in front, with corselct belt
fastened permanently over it. If a
loose, separate vest of chiffon, en-
broidery, etc, is worn, and the regular
jacket-not jacket waist-wishcd, it
is unlined and rot boned; the collar is
then attached to the vest. Do not line
the sleeves, as this is intended for a
summer gown of delightful GOODNESS.
The separate linen crash skirts that are
neat with shirt waists are cut AZ yards
to yards wide, have an S-inch facing
shaped to the skirt and the front and
side seams folded over and stitched
down on the right side. Such a skirt
requires 8 yards of 30-inch goods and
Z yards of 40, including the facing

A young man of wealth and high
social position died recently in London
unquestionably from drink, as will be
seen from the following reports of the
quantity of liquor put down to this
young mans daily account. On the day
of his death be was said to have had
ten glasses Of whisky, half bottle of
pommery, glass of Benedictine, a glass
of sherry. and two bottles of Marco
drummer. This rate of consumption was
exceeded on other days, and alcoholism
clearly had marked this misguided
Young man for it's own. The doctors
gave terrible account of his condi-
ton.
The industrial farm home for women
inebriates established by the British
Woman's Temperance association last
year turned away 5000 women whom

1t may be the report which we sub
init is only a practical joke, but does
it not raise the thought in our minds
that the law will and does protect ami
mails; but the question of the drunkard's
wife and children would be laughed out
of court if some "fanatical" abstainer
yentured to bring the matter before the
n.agistrates-the thing would be treat
ed as ridiculous, but in case CT an ami
NAL or bird, or in a question of riparian
right, an action could be raised as easily
as possible. A workingmans child
may groan its life out in agony and
tears, and the heart of justice is I'M
moved; wOrkingman's hen has only to
give an Intoxicated caCkle," and the
Indignation of justice is reused, and the
offender who Supplied the Intoxicating
material is sued for damages. We can
understand why justice is always repre-
scented with bandaged eyes; the sight of
the orphan might cause unseemly in
dignation; the cackle of a hen can al
ways be easily heard. Ofcourse the old
fallacy will be trotted out that a river
pollution or an animal depreciation is
not case in point, because hens and
cattle have not the gift of reason, and
that animals IN polluted area and fish
in a polluted river are unwilling vic

TEMPERANCE,
SALOON TO CHOOsEFoR A BOY.

Not place on a fashionable street,
All furnished and FURNISHED within,
Where the gay and hail-fellows meet,
With glamour the gosling to win
But rather a tumble-down den
Surrounded by marshes and boys,
Where the jingle of glasses by men
Shall blend with the croaking Of frogs
The shanty I'd plaster all DER
With pictures and posters to suit:
Hobgoblins I'd hang on the door,
And monsters of human and brute.
Here murder shall bear her red arm
And flourish her pistol and blade;
There tremens and demons alarm
And publish the fruits of the trade.

LOST IN CARS.


Articles Left In Sleeping Apartments
by the Passengers.
Some curious things are picked up
by sleeping car porters and goodIy
proportion Of them are turned over to
persons in authority to be restored 10
their owners if called for. The "found"
bureau Of q palace car company often
affords an interesting study. An In
Vulnerable variety of ticketed articles
there displayed bears ocular testimony
to the freaks Of observation-disclosures
There are pathetic AZ well as amusing
suggestions in these lost articles, for
some Of them are obviously mementos
Of tender associations. A baby's tiny
worsted shoe, for instance. found in
sleeping berth where NO baby had
been, tells its own touching little story.
Each article, a. soon as it is handed
to the custodian Of the "found" bureau,
II made into neat parcel and marked
with the day and hour of finding, name
Of the sleeping car number of the train
and the name Of the finder. Most Of
tbese.mislaid personal effects are found
under the seats or in the lavatories of
the cara Fully two-thirds Of the wom-
ems belongings which are picked up
by the sleeping car porters are toilet
articles or jewelry left in the lavatories.
1t was only few days ago that por-
ter found two valuable finger rings in .
washbowl.s They had been sucked into
the escape pipe together and fortunate
" became wedged there 50 that they
were not carried away by the outflow
ing water. The owner of the rings
said, when they were restored to her,
that she was "sure she had put
them in her satchel" and seemed
quite. indignant ut the temerity
of ths porter in insisting that he found
them in the washbowl.
Umbrellas, canes and shawl-straps
constitute majority of the ''linds" in
sleeping cars. They are seldom re-
claimed, although kept by the COM
pany's custodian for years Some Of
the oddities in the bureaus collection
may be enumerated Al follows: One
white satin slipper. woman's bead and
lace bonnet, chatting dish, pair Of trous-
ers, two hair switches. one set OF false
teeth, silver candlestick and wax can
die, one fine linen nightrobe, package OF
perfumed letters tied with pink rib
bon, an ear trumpet, one crutch and
three or four Gagged birds.

containing money il turned in at the
"found" bureau. Such "finds" are
quickly called for. The loss Of money
in usually discovered before the loser
leaves the car, consequently IL It has

il searched for then and there. Pas
sengers usually feel for their money
the first thing after awakening in the
morning and, finding that all right, ap-
parently do not tax their minds with
anything else. Occasionally. however.
men who carry their money loosely in
their pockets lose it by pulling 1t out
with pair Of gloves, handkerchief
or q notebook. Not long ago the con-
ductor Of a sleeping car which had just
been emptied Of its passengers in the
Grand Central station found $500 in
bills lying on the platform just outside

the general superintendent and It was
called for within an hour.-N. Y. Times.

Schools Two Hundred Years Ago.
Woman teachers and girl scholars
