Information About Greece.

1t has a population of 2,lS7 POS.
1t is called "Hellas' by its people.
The mean temperature Of Greece Is
64 degrees of Fahrenheit.
No part Of Greece is 40 miles from
the sea or 10 from the hills.
About one-halfofth population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
It has an area of 4977 square miles
It is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Gras guns and paper,coyered cart
ridges.
The Greek flag is a white cross on a
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
Greece is more thickly populated
than any other country in EuroPe,with
the exception of Sweden and Prussia.
1t has few rivers and many hills.
None of the former is navigable and
many Of the latter are fortified.
It's present boundary limits were de-
termined by an arrangement among
Great Britain, France, Russia and Tur-
key, concluded at Constantinople en-
July q, 1882.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any other language than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any
other religion than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics of the aver
age Greek are his inquisitiveness, fond
ness for excitement, love of Discussion
desire for knowledge, an aptitude for
learning and aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking pecu-
liarities-the heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intense
than those OF any other country in the
world lying in the same latitude. Cell
once remarked that in travelling
through the Morea in March he found
summer in Messina, spring in Lacon-
ia and winter in Arcadia, without
having moved beyond a radius Of 80
miles.

The Crowns Of Royalty.

One Of the most costly crowns in ex-
istence is that of the King of Portugal.
The Jewels which ornament il are val.
ued at $S,OOO,OOO. The crown that the
Car Of Russia wears on special occa-
sions is also one OF the most precious IN
the world. The cross which surmounts
the crown is composed of five magni-
cent diamonds, resting on large uncut
but polished ruby. The small crown of
the Czarina contains, according TO au-
thorities, the finest stones ever strung.
The crown of the Queen Of England,
which is valued at 81 100000, contains
a great ruby, large sapphire, sixteen
small sapphires, eight emeralds, four
small rubies, 800 brliants, ,273 rose
diamonds, four pear formed pearls and
800 of other shapes. In his state
clothes. including the crown, the Sui
tan of Johore wears diamonds worth
81 100000. His collar, his epaulcttes,
his girdle, his cuffs sparkle with pre-
cious stones. His bracelets are of mass
i've gold, and his fingers are covered
with rings which are almost priceless.
The handle and the blade Of his sword
is covered with precious stones.
The most costly insignia Of princely
dignity, however, are those Of the Sui
tan or Maharajah, of Baroda, in India.
The chief ornament is a necklace Of five
strings, containing 800 diamonds, some
Of which are as large as bazel nuts.
The upper and lower rows consist Of

How He Spent His Million.

A short time ago an eccentric mill
ionaire died at Vienna who, during
his lifetime, was a collector in the full
sense of the word. He lived alone in
a large dwelling, and when his heirs
appeared they found nothing Of value
except the collections. In one trunk
a magnifcently arranged stamp collec-
ton, worth about $4,000, was found ;
three cabinets were full Of unused rail-
road tickets from all parts Of the globe,
representing face value Of seyeral
hundred thousand dollars, arranged
in geographical order. This collection
Is most interesting, since it contains
some specimens Of the very first be-
ginnings Of railroading. among others,
tickets for a ride from Troy TO Albany,
and from Albany to Newburg, issued
during the first years existence Of the
railroad between those points. The
collection Of coins found comprised
more than 10000 specimens and was
sold for $4,000. The stamp collec-
ton was bought by an English dealer
for $4,000; but nobody has yet been
found who wants to give anything at
all for the collection Of railroad tick
cts, which is considered unique, but
which was rejected by the Austrian
and German governments, to which it
was offered, because Of the enormous
price asked for it by the heirs. While
he spent dunng his lifetime more than
S450,0O0 on this collection, the heirs
will be satisfied to realize less than
third Of that sum from the sale Of it.

The Jungfrau Railroad.

\ dispatch to the New York S,r
from London says work has begun on
the Jungfrau Railroad, which will run
from Scheidegg, Switzerland, a dis
tance of eight miles, to the summit Of
the mountain. The Jungfrauis is $4,000
feet above sea level. The greater part
Of its ascent will be by a spiral tunnel
in the bowels Of the mountain, finally
curving around the uppermost pinnacle
of the Jungfrau and stopping on a lit
tie plateau 200 feet below the summit.
Thence an elevator or steps will lead
to the top. The journey will occupy
100 minutes, and the round-trip fare
will be IS. The cost Is estimated at
little less than 100000.
Experts have been investigating the
question whether it will be safe to take
ordinary tourists to such a high alti-
tude, especially if they happen to be
suffering from an organic disease. The
gist of the great volume Of medical
testimony adduced is that rarefed air
in itself is not sufficient to produce
mountain sickness unless accompanied
bv the effects of exerIion and fatigue.
The committee of the Swiss Alpine
Club declare themselves perfectly
convinced that, gwen the means Of be-
ing conveyed to the summit without
any KIND of muscular exertlon, per-
sons in good health and with sound
constitutions have no evil consequences
to fear from a short sojourn at the top
of the Jungllau.'
For the benefit of delicate persons
it is proposed to place a medical man
at the station for consultation.

OUR SOWING.

We SOW for two worlds day by day,
Two harvests for our reaping:
One near at hand, one far away,
OF JOY or bitter weeping.
But sweetly is the message told,
The good seed of our casting
Yields in this world hundredfold,
The next.life everlasting.
We SOW for two worlds not for one;
The wrongs we do and cherish
Beneath the stars, beyond the sun
VIII never, never perish;
But good seed cast into the mould,
Preserved from blight or blasting,
Yields in this world Il hundredfold,
The next-life everlasting.
We SOW for two worlds. here and there,
Through seen and unseen ranges;
For hate its fateful harvest bears
Unchanged through alllife's changes
And love, in deed or language told.
Its ripened seed recasting.
Yields in this world a hundredfold
The next-life everlasting.

tors will ask for an investigation Of her
case. Her mother said that the young
woman had been whipped by her on

had failed, that 1T wss simply the
devil in the girl, and that the devil
would have to be whipped out.
The girl Is said to have been subject
to hysteria for four years. She told
various stories Of how she was whipped
but she said she supposed she deserved
all she got Investigation by the su-
thorities has shown that the girl was

he attended her for some time, and be.
came convinced that whipping was
the "only medicine that would cure her
tantrum." The hospital authorities cay
Miss Logan is one Of the best patients
they ever had in the institution, and
that che appears very grateful for the
kindness shown her. They have
notified the police Of her suferlpgs,

The following afternoon, two minutes

TOUGH ON COAL MINERS.
PopuIists Rushing Bill Through
Which Puts Pcnitentiary
Coal on the Market

Tokepa, Kas., March S.-(Special) Gov
ernor Leedy to-day showed his disregard
for the interests of the coal miners of
Kansas by sending a message to the legis-
lature urging the passage of law which
will bring penitentiary coal into direct COM
petition with the product of free labor.
Tho message reads:
ITO the Legislature again desire to
call your attention TO the state of affairs
at the state penitentiary. The contractor
under the law is not taking the coal ac-
cording to his contract. and there is now
about 500 of demurrage charged up for
loading cars. The directors would have no
difficulty in disposing of this coal II they
We're not hampered by the conditions of the
law of 1891, which prevents them from SELL

seems to be an effort on the part of in
terested parties to reduce. If not stop the
output of the mines at Lansing. II this is
accomplished, it will mean a loss of reve-
nue. to the state of at least 500 900. before
the legislature meets again. / would sug-
gest that so much of the law of 1891. at

of this coal through the medium of con-

free-handed TO deal with the matter as best

1T STANDS THE TEST.
Among the Mass of Unworthy Prepar-
ations There Is One That
Stands Pre-emincnt.

It is a well known fact that a large per-
centage of whistles upon the market and
in use to-day are simply cheap adultera-
ticns. They may be called straight goods"
blends or any pther name that an un-
sorupulous manufacturer or dealer chooses.
but the fact remains that they are simply
conccctions and adulterations which are in
furious to anyone who uses them
In the midst of this mass of unhealthful
whiskies there stands one bright exception.
1t has stood out clearly before the public
fo- twenty years. Its purity is guaranteed
by the best physicians in the land. and il
has done more to preserve health than all
thu other whiskies combined. Ii is Duffys
pure malt wiliskey. II has a reputation
established by twenty years of use. and it
has that reputation 10 sustain. II Is al
ways uniform in quality, every bottle is
precisely alike. Its very purity renders it
valuable. but it possesses in addition there
TO medicinal qualities known to no otncr
wLiskey. You make no mistake in buying
Duny's pure malt, but you make an eyre
gious error if you allow any INSCRIPTIONS
dealer for moment to argue with you that
any one of the cheap adulterated whiskies
that are on the market is as good as
DCffy's. II is false.
