Beautiful Custom in Crete.

one Of the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve of every in
surrection, says the Fortnightly Re
view, Is known as adelphopolesis, or
fraternization. One Of its immediate
results is the cessation of all feuds, en-
nifty and rancor. 1t Is carried out as
follows: A number of individuals
choose young girl, who must be pret-
ty-no difficult matter in Crete. They
inform her parents of their intention,
and the needful consent is never with
held. Then priest is sent for and told
to begin the ceremony. He taxes a
very long glrdle and joins all the men
with 1t in circle, in the center of
which the young girl is placed. Then
the clergyman recites a number of pray.

tion to all present. The moment he
pronounces the last amen the circle and
its center stand in the relation of broth.
ers and sister to each other to all re-
ligious and social intents and purposes.
Each and every one of the males Is
bound in honor-and a Cretan knows
no more sacred obligation-to protect
that girl throughout her life but none
of them can ever take her for his wife.
She Is and remains their sister in the
eyes of the priest and people to the end
of her days. But they must also stand
by and succor each other, and IL needs
be at the cost of life itself.

A woman with the blues is very un.

The condition of the mind known as

Died q Pauper.

Samuel Tetlow, who died a paupe,
recently In San Francisco, was one Of
the earlier settlers on the Pacific coast
and In the good old days of Frisco's
babyhood was known as "Prince
Prodigal," because Of the facility with
which he won and lost fortunes over
The green baize. He built the old Bella
Union Theater, having as a partner in
its management William Skaneantle
bury, whom he shot to death during a
quarrel. Tetlow was sentenced to death
but social influence brought about
mis- acquittal at former trial. At one
line he owned the property now known
As Sutro Heights. which he sold to ex
Mayor Sutro for $4,000.

The Islard City.

Venice is one of I've most singular
and famous cities in Europe, and is
built upon cluster of islands in the
lagoon. This lagoon is banked off
from the Adriatic by long, narrow
sandbank which is divided into a
number of islands, six in number.
Inside of this sand bank and be-
tween it and the mainland, is the
lagoon, sheet of shallow water. In
parts of this marshy, sea-covered
plain, islets have become consolidated
into ground, firm enough to be culti-
vated. And in the midst of crowded
cluster of such islands, amounting to
between seventy and eighty in num-
ber, the city of Venice is built. The
chief of these islands is called Isolda
de Rialto, or Island of the Deep
Stream. The islands, in many places
mere shoals, afford no adequate foun-
dation for buildings, and the city, for
the most part, is built upon an arti-
fetal foundation of piles and stones.
The Grand Canal divides Venice into
two equal parts and is the main
thcroughfare for traffic and pleasure.
The city is subdivided by soms one
hundred and forty-six small canals Of
water streets, and the gondola is used
for the carriage. Access can also be
had to various parts of the city by
land, there being over three hundred
bridges across canals; the Rialto, the
most famous bridge. spans the Grand
canal. There are also narrow lanes in
among the houses. This beautiful
and wonderful city is replete with in,
terest for the student and tourist.

How Sea Birds Drink.

Sea birds frequently spend weeks
at sea, and are believed 10 quench
their thirst partly from the falling
rains, and partly from the fat and oil
which they devour ravenorsly when
opportunity puts it in their way.
They have been observed focking
toward storm cloud about to burst
from all parts Of the compass, and
drinking in the water as it desceuds
from the skies.

just Catching Fish.

One day this week Boston party
on fishing trip to Moosehead came
across one of the old-school fishermen.
He was up off the mouth of Tomhegan
stream and was fishing out Of lum.
berman's bateau. 1t developed later
that he was the cook for crew ofriver
drivers. On the bank near at hand
stood the cookee, or his helper. The
cook had thrown about peck of table
refuse into the lake in or der to ''tole''
the fish, and over that hole he was
was having great luck His pole was
of the jibboom variety, and when a
fish bit he would derrick it over his
head into the bushes where the cookee
was stationed.
The Boston men from their canoes
watched the operations with all the
disgust of the true sportsmen.
SCOT enough for supper yet2''
shouted the fisherman over his shoul-
der as he sent another great trout
flaming into the bushes.
"No; better catch six or eight
more," shrilled back the cookee.
"Say, how many fish do you two
fellows usually eat for supper?"
shouted Boston man, who didn't un-
derstand the situation.
when you've cooked for twenty
two river drivers as long as I have, ("
yelled the cook, derricking another
fish, you'll know more about empty
nail kegs"
Hardly was this enigmatic utter
ance out when there came tug at his
line that was nothing short of tre-
mendous. He twitched. The fish
didn't come. He braced, set his jaws,
and pried. His line only sawed the
Kissing water.
"Play himl Play him" screamed
the excited sportsmen from the city.
"Play your grandmother" beloved
back the cook. 'I amt here to play.
I'm here to fish," And as he spoke
he boosted over his head fifteen
pound laker Any man in the Boston
crowd would have given $40 to have
played him an hour at the end of an
eight-ounce rod. Twas too much for
