On all sides Is heard the cry that If

arm themselves ands help repel the in

Amazonian stuff history demonstrated
more than once. Their detestation of
the Turk is as great as their love for

proudest one in the assemblage.

All Of the girls from five to about
twenty years dance together, the men
and matrons, the latter with innumer-
able babies around them sitting about
looking on. Sometimes there are as
many as sixty in the group, and they
dance with arms interlaced in double
lines for hours at a time. Some wear
slippers and others are barefooted;
some wear thin wells and others wear
'kerchiefs so arranged about the head
that the lower part Of the face is COW
cred.
The only music is the humming of
the girls, and the dance itself, while
graceful, is simple, the usual move
ment being three steps forward and
three backward, so executed that the
lines keep moving in a circle. In the
country districts mixed dances of the
sexes rarely take place.
The Greek women are virtuous,
healthy minded and strong bodied.
They take a serious view of life; their
pleasures are few and their labors
many. They are handsome in youth,
but after thirty they soon show the eff
fects of incessant toll. But, whether
at five or seventy, they are ready and
willing to do anything to punish the
Turk Thomas G. Wilson.

in some of his novels. A heliotype of
Albert Durer's etching from the Gray
collection at Harvard occupies the
place of honor in the library at st.
Hubert's cottage. 1t was the gift OF
an artist friend in token of apprecia-

days passed at Frontenac.
The first time you reach the top Of
the terrace, almost in front of the cot
tage, you are likely to be nearly dizzy
with a sense of looking at the world
upside down, as though you had tum-
bled into space. The sky seems to be
below you, in a framing of blue hills.
That is, if the spring winds are at 4
1ull and Lake Pepin is as still and as
blue as the sky, save for a variant line
towards the center. st. Hubert's cot

porch, after the Southern manner.

Uses of Peanut OIL.

Persons informed that large peanut oil
factory has been erected at Norfolk, Va, are
apt to ask what the oil is used for. 1t seems
that it is already sold as a table oil, base
for soaps, and as a lubricant for CONNECTION
ers, makers of plug tobacco and machinists.
Peanut meal will be refined for invalids and
the coarser material pressed into cakes for
cattle. The humble peanut may yet restore
wealth to the unproductive fields of Virginia
and other parts Of the South.

time is a great season of
rejoicing, but this year the
critical condition of the
nation has been a bar to
funmaking. Dancing in the
open air is the favorite di-
version, and it is about the
only opportunity which the
young girls have Of ex-
hibiting their charms.
In holiday dress the I'M
married women wear long
white skirts of delicate
materials and an overskirt
reaching to the knee and
hanging in heavy folds. A
broad belt Of silk fastened
below the waist and an
elaborate apron, embroid-
cred in a wealth Of color
and falling to the ankles,
are two articles Of dress Of
which the Greek maiden is
prodigiously proud. A
close-fitting vest of some
decided color, cut low in
front, serves as stays. An
other item Of prime inn
portance is a little stom-
acher, on which are strung
gold and silver coins.

next to nothing Many Of them have
but one room, and few have more than
two. Usually the second room Is shar-
ed with the family donkey. the goats
and other domestic animals. The chill
dren amuse themselves playing with
the goats and the donkeys while
the mother is spinning cloth, tending
to the little garden or making cheeses
and curds, the principal food.
Very little meat Is consumed. On
great holidays and festivals it is eaten,
but nine-tenths Of the time the poorer
Greeks are strict vegetarians, not from
choice. but necessity. They are fru-
gal eaters because meat is costly and
the head Of the family hates to per-
form the necessary labor to earn the
wherewithal.
The women have to economic in
other ways. In nearly every hamlet
there is public oven, where they car
ny great patches Of dough on a GER

bread, and enough is baked at one
time to last week or more. A pri-
vate fire is esteemed luxury.

cessful method now is to soak the eggs in
lime water, which closes up the pores of the
shells and kills any germs which may be
attached to them. Under the most favor
able condition, however, this method will
not preserve egg for more than three
months. The new method is much more COM
plicated. 1t is well known that an egg shell
Is more or less porous and that air passes
into the egg and hastens its decay. In pre-
serving eggs by the new method the egg is
first placed In, vacuum chamber, which
draws the air from the interior. The eggs
are then painted with composition which
renders them air-tight. After this they will
be placed in barrels of water and subjected
to an electric current strong enough to de-
stroy any germ life which may be present.

American observer has said: 1.-THE men
are hospitable, democratic, fond Of pol
tiles and of discussion, divided in fac
tons, eager for information, quick to
adapt themselves to circumstances, pa
tient of suffering, but disinclined to la
bor." Truly the Greek hates work, and
he leaves the bulk of it for the women
of his household. Upon her depends
three-fourths Of the responsibility Of
raising the family She labors at some
thing every minute in the day, while
the husband, brother or father is anus
ing himself in the open air.
Work that confines him within four
walls is uncomfortable to the Greek of
the rural districts. Starvation would
be faced sooner than the labor of a
factory. When the great canal was
built, some years ago, at an expense
equivalent to $7,OO0,000 the government
had to import laborers from Monte
negro Italy and Turkey. The average
Greek is poor enough. but fortune
would scarcely tempt him to handle q
pick and shovel.
The women are regarded as Of small
Importance by the men. They are
treated as inferior creatures, fit only
to wait upon and labor for their nat
ural masters. Until the advent of an
American mission in Athens, some fif-
ty-odd years ago, female education
among the poorer CLASSES was I'M
known. The founders of this institu-
ton, DR.. and Mrs. Hill, educated many
women who subsequently occupied sta
tons Of rank and influence. Prior to
their coming the women were as ig-
norant as the women Of the Turkish
empire, but now a majority can at
least read and write.
