NO! OLD MAIDS THERE.
An EverIasting Disgrace to Greciau
Girls.

An Everlasting Disgrace to GreciaU
Girls.
In Greece it is considered an CvC.-
lasting disgrace to remain an old maid.
Girls are betrothed often when sti;!
tiny babies.
Marriages OF love are absolutely ur-
known-even more so than in France
And the father is most particular thai
the intended husband must have an an
pie provision to support a wife anG
family. For the girl a. dowry is ret s.
important as in France, but certain
amount of linen and household fur.
ture is required. The whole traiI:irr
and education of Greek girl is sim.
preparation to render her brilliant l.:
the society of the great world. Tc,
toilet is n subject of constant anxiety
Although most Greek girls are EGiur-
ally very pretty, they begin to pant
and powder from n very early age
cheeks bright red. eyebrows and lashes
deepest black and veins delicately blue
The result is that she is withered old
woman at 40, and nowhere are uglier
women to be found than beneath the
blue skies of lovely Greece.
Next in Importance to beauty comes
languages. Every Greek family who
can afford it keeps a French nurse or
maid. and French is universally spoken
in society. Painting and music are
quite unnecessary, but girls are care
fully trained in dancing and drilled to
enter room and sit down with ele-
gance. Lastly, household duties are
taught-how to make rose lam. Turkish
coffee and various delicate sweetmeats.

olution, orlit: would have been named
Qglethorpe, says the, Atlanta Constitu-
ton. After lthe freuolyition was over
and peace, was, made, aitswas proposed
to change its name! but it-did not carry.
Several of the states had been named
for kings and queens and they were
not changed. Since then most of the
new states have HRen named for Indian
tribes, and that is about all the poor
Indian got as he moved toward the set
ting sun. He left his name behind him.
Seventeen of the new states have Indian
names, and it is curious fact that only
one state bears the name of any great
man of our country, and that is the state
of Washington. One other state chose
the name of Franklin, and kept it for
some time, but for some reason it did
not stick, and was changed to Tenncs-
see. But the great man has "a counties
named for him in "a different states. /
don't see why some of the new states
that came in after the revolution were
not named for Adams and jefferson
and Monroe and Madison and Patrick
Henry and other fathers of liberty. But
I suppose that even these great men had
their enemies in congress, and they ccm-
promised on the Indians. Partisan poll
tics had much to do with it.

which facts are recorded on her grave

cited all her lessons in the forenoon in her
usual cheerful manner, hut, while spelling
her head lesson before dinner, her counte-
nance showed signs Of pain, but she had the
forIitude to keep her place until the lesson
was finished, and quit at the head Of her
class, this being her fortieth "hcad -mark,"
one more than any other at school
After spelling, she went home ut noon and
in about twenty-iour hours from that time

Of mercful Saviour and her spirit was Ia
ken to that Great School above, where all
is peace and joy and love.
