fell on the platform of train about
five miles out of that city. His heel
caught in a crack, and his hip was dis
located by the fall. Three surgeons eX,

would be a cripple for life. The man
was paid $4,000 and his lawyers fees.
In addition to this he was furnished
with baggage car and transportation
for his lawyer and nurse TO go with
him to Chicago. The railroad officials
felt that they had made cheap settle
ment. The other day man fell on
platform on the Norfolk & Western
in Virginia and worked the same old
story of the dislocated hip. But he had
been seen on the previous day hunting
for a place to catch his heel. \ traye'-

in some degree historical evidence,
show that the intermiNture of blood
was greatest. Further to the norih h,
where the original population seems to
have been more scauty and was swept
out more completely, the Aryan traits
both for better and for worse, persist
in comparative purity.
For, after all, this intermarriage of
races. provided the differences are not
too fundamental, is no unqualified evil.
Indeed, in the long run, through ma
lures happy faculty of selecting and
perpetuating what is most fit, the re-
suit is often the development of type
much superior to any of its clements
n fact full of promise to America.
where all the nations of Europe are so
rapidly blending. Even the English
man would not have gained the marked
superiority he shows as compared with
ish Saxon forbears, had it not been for
a repeated infusion of foreign blood
which was most extensive in those up
per ranks where the improvement is
most manifest. The boasted English
yeoman, it must be confessed is too
unmitigated Saxon; he is rather dolt-
ish still. The peoples of southern Eu-
rope, doubtless, got an overdose Of
Iberian blood; but what they lost in
stability they gained in vivacity and
cleverness.
But here is the root of the weakness
of the Greeks. They were excessively
1berianized; and while this gave them
great liveliness and quickness of per-
ception and marvellous aptitude for
things artistic, it has made them mere
impetuous and impatient children in all
matters political. Such they were in
classic times, and such they are to-
day. AS Athens plunged headlong into
the Pelopennesian war and the Scilian
expedition centuries ago, so last year
she fatuously defied the powers, in
vaded Crete and bearded the Turk.
in both cases with extravagant expecta
tions and most disastrous conclu-
sion. The proceedings of her delibera
tive assemblies. ancient or modern no
matter what eloquence was displayed,
have always had curious tragi-comic
quality; you feel that you are dealing
with nation of schoolboys.
Even in their physical characteristics
the 1berian strain is easily traced. The
average stature in Greece was below
the pure Aryan standard. Golden locks
are found chiefly on the pages of the
poets, adorning the heads Of sun gods
and mythical heroes of similar solar
origin.
In short. the defect that makes a
Greek republic an opera bouife PROPOSE
tion is racial. What the Greek was he
still is-with omissions: time has not
mended matters thus far. And as the
weakness is constitutional, dating back
several millenniums of years. it will
probably require many generations to
eradicate it. Till then King George
and his heirs had better stick to their
uneasy throne, lest some worse thing
befall. DAVIS TURNER

A Kentucky exchange says that Miss
Ona Ireland, a young lady living near
,Skillman, has bird the history Of
which would grace the columns of our
natural history. Miss Ona has very
large and beautiful flock of turkeys, a
part of which were Matched in theesrly
summer months and strayed away from
the house for quite distance. In their
rambles a young partridge, presumably
an orphan, fell into the ranks of the lit
tie turkeys, and, finding the company
icongenial, forsook the field, stayed in
the barnyard and orchard, and never
for moment left the turkeys, eating
and roosting on the limb of tree with
them. Now the turkeys are grown, as
also is the partridge, and it is no I'M
usual sight TO see the partridge creep
ing beneath the flock OF turkeys.

prowess-and that has made their de-
scendants slaves of the Turk and play

was the result of temperament pecul-
iarly unstable, factious and emotional;
but this only leads TO another ques-
ton. How did it come about that they
were cursed with such temperament?

WEARY OF HIS CROWN.
King George Is Tired of Weld
ing the Scepter.
Were a Grecisn Republic mt All Pos
sibIe He WouId Abdicate
only Too Willingly
In Its Favor.
copyright, 1881


Poor old King George of Greece!
Weary and disheartened, so runs the
report, he Processes himself willing,
and more than willing, to yield to the
restless discomfort of his people, lay
down his thankless Office, and give way
to the republic for which so many are
clamoring.
1t is not likely that anything of the
sort will be permitted; but that the
luckless though well-intentioned sover-
eign is thoroughly tired of his job is
little to be wondered at. From the days
of Agamemnon until now, the rulers
of Hellas have found their task trying
one. Yet abdication is never easy, and
rarely expedient or safe.
But quite apart from the attitude OF
the powers-who certainly would not
sanction any such radical change in the
form of government at present-it is
sufficiently obvious to the unpreiudiced
observer that stable and successful
self-government in Greece is still long
way Off. 1t is something that the world
has never yet seen-popular impress
y
and the world is not likely to see it
for many years to come. The laws of
nature are mightier even than the
powers" and their manifesto is dis
tinctly against republic in Greece.
1t is not that the modern Greek is de-
generate-though corruption of blood
and ages of stultifying oppression have
assuredly not increased his capacity in
this direction. The Greek of to-day.
nevertheless, is quite as truly Greek as
the Englishman of to-day is Anglo
SaXon-if anything, rather more So
and in temperament he is as like his
ancestor of the time of Periclcs as one
magpie is like another. Right there is
the rub. He is too much like his re-
nowned progenitors; for the inability
of the ancient Greeks to maintain
republic-or democracy, which here
