me, l got large worsted needle. and
gave her several punctures with 1t. not

the brain. This, however, was so far
from answering my purpose, which
was to XIII her in the most speedy and
least painful manner, without mangling
or mutilating her. that she seemed to
have still enough life left to be able
to run away.
After this, my host undertook to
put an end to her, and, having given
her several hard squeezes about the
chest and tied her feet together hung
her up by the neck In n moose, which
ne drew as tight as he possibly could.
From this situation she was found.
in space of forty-eight hours. to have
extricated herself, though she still re-
manned near the farm, appearing at
the same time to be almost exhausted.
Upon this We tied her feet close behind
her. so that with her long and sharp
claws. of which she had five upon each
loot. she could not damage the serpents

Decline In Pearla.

A curious effect of the plague in In
dia has been n sudden increase in the
number Of pearls reaching the London
market, and consequent marked fall
in prices. This is not due to unusual
industry on the part of the divers, but
TO the fact that the native dealers at
Bombay have been in such haste to
quit the stricken city that they have
eagerly disposed of their wares at far
below the customary market value.
One English firm of importers of In.
dian pearls has accumulated n stock
which, If placed suddenly on the mar
ket, it Is estimated. would send down

Right is With Gallant Greece

The New York Journal of recent
date says: Worldwide sympathy is
felt for Greece in her struggle with
Turkey Though this is not a theo-
logical age, there is a strong bias every
where in Christendom against the
Mohammedan Turk because he is
Mohammedan. But a better reason
than that exists FIR the sympathy
with Greece. In this struggle she
stands for modern civilization, for lib
erty, as against medieval corruption
and tyranny. Had the powers held
their hands off, most of the islands con-
tiguous to Greece would have long ago
been liberated by their own valor from
the Tui kish bond, Crete among them.
Their population is largely Greek, and
their hatred of the Sultans rule as in
tense as it is well justified. The pres
ent instruction in CrN9 is the ninth
since the island came into possession
of the Turks in 1869. During these
two centuries and more Turkey has
been to Crete what Spain has been to
Cuba-a cruel, corrupt and plundering
despot. Instruction has been follow
ed by promises of reform in one case
as in the other, and always the promi-
ses of Turks and Spaniards have been
broken. In lS2l-27 the islands which
revolted won their independence as
truly as did Greece Their cause was
common with hers; but while she was
permitted to be free they were handed
back to the Turkish oppressor.
Whether this war shall result in the
separation of these islands from the
Turkish empire or not, in the nature of
things that separation must ultimately
occur. The aspirations of the Greek
people will in the end conquer all OBJ.
stacles. This war is but one phase of
an irrepressible national movement.
