AN APPEAL TO AMERICANS
Aid Asked to Enable Destitute Thes.
snlfans to Return to Their
HOmea.

Washington. Jan. 2o.-United States Min
lister Rockhill, at Athens. has forwarded
to the department of state an appeal of the
Society of Greek Women for the return OF
the fugitive Thessalians to their homes.
The appeal is directed to the American
people and reads as follows:
The terrible disasters and deprivations
which the last war has brought on our
unfortunate compatriots. the Thessalians,
Is undoubtedly well known to your excel
lency. Their property has been destroyed.
their homes looted. and, homeless and des-
titute. they have fled from their unfortun-
ate province seeking safety for their lives
and bread for their children. The govern
ment and private philanthropy have both
done what was possible for their relief,
but their destitution was so great and their
immediate needs so pressing that now,
when the time has come for them to return
TO their homes and attempt to re-constitute
their homesteads with what the mercy of
the enemy may have left them. they are en-
tireIy without the means Of returning. The
liberal feeling and generosity of the Amer
lean people. of which suffering humanity
has SO often been a grateful witness. en-
courage us to appeal TO 1t through your
excellency in favor of these unfortunate
beings whose misery must touch every

AS THE LONDON TIMES SEES IT.
Thinks the Cuban Question Much
Graver Than II Was Two
DAVIS Ago.

London, Jan. 2l.-The Times, In an ed
itorial on Representative Hits speech in
the house of representatives on Wednes-
day. says:
I'VE assume that President Mckinley
does not wish his hand TO be forced by the
opposite party. He does not want war with
Spain, because his heart is set upon pro-
noting the economical and commercial de-
yelopment of the United States. Yet it
seems doubtful whether he will prove
strong enough to resist the pressure
brought TO bear upon him.
"One of the usual Kaleidoscope changes
in American politics has just been effected.
The Cuban question is evidently much
graver than 1t was two days ago, and the
Government is not any stronger. An acci-
dent may precipitate anything.

Black Chalk.

1t is often extremely desirable tc
obtain black chalk, and a simple
process for preparing this useful
article is convenient to have in ones
scrapbook. Take pulverized ordinary
chalk and mix it with strong de-
coction of logwood The addition
either of chromate of potassium or
green vitriol solution will cause the
logwood to become intensely black.
A pasty mass is formed that molds
very readily into crayons or pencils,
and these, when dried, are fit for
use The addition of an extremely
small amount of gum arabic water
is suggested, but the amount must
be so small as to be scarcely appre-
cable, else the pencils will be SO
hard as to be almost useless. For
ordinary work on hard substances
the gum is desirable, but if the pen
ellis are wanted for paper or card
board the simple chalk and logwood
solution will give better satisfac-
ton. New York Ledger.
