Greek women.

Greek art, in current opinion, far sur
passes in conception and execution all
other art the world has produced. One
is therefore not surprised to find that
much modern literature and art are based
on Greek ideals. Aside from direct in
fuences which may be traced, literature
and art abound in references to. illusions
to Greek life, thought and heroes, wheth-
er mythical or historical Although wom-
en- played comparatively an insignificant
part in Greek civilization, it is by no
means an insignificant place which the
women of Greece fill in modern literature
and art.
The Greek women were beautiful. and
that their beauty was highly appreciated
there can be no doubt The Greeks loved
symmetry, form and beauty of person, es-
pecially when combined with strength and
activity. Greek art was based on similar
principles. The Greek woman was much
in the open air, always finding active
employment, never allowing time to be-
come a burden. Her strength and fresh
ness of body produced a sweetness of
temper and soundness Of mind which
serve as a charming background for liter
cry or artistic treatment. Not a vicious
woman appeared in either "Iliad" or
odyssey" "HeIlas," the later name for
Greece itself, was originally applied to
one section of the country as an epithet
for ''land of the beautiful women,' beau
tiful both in physical and personal ele-
ments

death, upon condition that the house be
kept in its present form as a memorial
to the Longfellow and Wadsworth fam
lilies, and memorial hall be erected in
connection Herewith. 1t is estimated
that such hall as is desired will cost
about $25, 000 and that an annual ex-
penditure of 1850 will be necessary to
keep the house and museum open to the
public,
The question of how to raise this
amount is one which is perplexing the
active members of the Maine Historical
society. The society has fund of
nearly $4,000, but under the law
governing the organization the fund
cannot be used for the preservation of
this property. The required amount
must be secured by private gifts.
Portland citizens are greatly interested
and are earnest in their declarations
that the Maine Historical society must
look to the preservation of the old man
sion; but assistance must come from the
whole state in rider to carry through
the project as outlined

In the counties of Glare and Galway
there is to be found at the present day
a people differing essentially from any
of the distinctive races existing on Irish
soil. This people are the descendants of
the Spanish officers, sailors and soldiers
who had been cast ashore during the
fearful storm which destroyed the Span.

The race marks of this people are well
defined. Crossed as it has been with the
Milesian stock, its Spanish features offer
a most interesting study, for they remain
prominent. The men are tall, muscular

hair. The women have decided Spanish
traits in their physique. They are usually
tall, brunettes in some cases and fair IN
others, with large. expressive black eyes
and an abundance of black hair. Their
beauty reminds one of the women of the
Basque provinces, while among them are
to be found the perfection of the female

above was a neck as white as milk, with
out a hollow. without a bone, without

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.


All boys have knives in their pockets,
but some of them are so dull they are not
of much use either to their owners or to
their owners neighbors. A boy without
knife. as | know from experience, is
very miserable and in a poor way to get
all the enjoyment out Of life. OF course
girls do not use knives so much as BOYS
do, but they frequently have to borrow
of their brothers or their friends when
they want to sharpen pencils or cut their
jumping ropes or gather pussy willows.
Do not think / would urge selfshness up
ON my readers, but persons who borrow
knives are often very careless with them,
losing them or keeping them much
longer than they need.
What | want to tell you is the very
simple thing of how to keep a pocketknife
sharp. With little trouble and patience
knife can be sharpened and kept in
good order, but it is surprising how few
boys know how to do this. In the first
place, if the edge of the blade is badly
nicked, or if the sides curve out it should
be ground on grindstone until the hicks
all disappear. Be sure to put plenty of
water on the stone, so that the heat aris-
ing from the friction will not take out the
temper" of the steel. Hold the blade
firmly so that the stone will grind from
the top of the blade nearly to the edge.
When the grinding is DONE the sides of
the blade should curve in. The blade
may then be said to be "hollow ground. .
If the stone is allowed to grind to the
edge the blade will become too thin and
will mick" easily.
Now place the blade in fiat position

Inxented nv Women.

Nearly all the modern appliances for
making housekeeping easy have been the
inventions of American women.
clothes wringer, now known all over the
world was the invention of negro char
woman in Washington. A self closing
bread bin is one of the American wom-
ans inventions. 1t is a cylindrical bin
that closes itself the instant the bread is
put into it. 1t is also used for cake and
biscuits. Then there is the pea Smelling
machine, the cabbage cutter, the various
vegetable slicing machines the self act
ing knife washer, which keeps the han
dies from being put into the hot water
and loosened, the egg breaker, the fruit
and vegetable peeing machines, the
raisin seeders. Patents for all these
household necessities have been issued by
the American patent Office to women.
An American woman also it was who
invented the method of preserving fu-
neral wreaths. This was as far back as
1868, and now in the woman's depart
ment of the patent office there are on ex-
hibition wreaths preserved by that par
ticular method since that year. One of
the best methods of embalming was also
the invention of an American woman

The Flowers With wings.


Such lot OF yellow buttercups all in meadow
grew
60 many, many years ago, when all the world
was new,
Aad you'd thought they'd be the happiest things
with nothing else to do
but be cuddled up by Father Sun and fed by
Mother Dew,
But hate to say it wasn't SO, for when the birds
High up among the mighty trees that lowered to
the sky
They would watch them with such envy and
lament and NOPE and sigh
''Qh, dear, JUST see them skim along Oh, why
can't you and l?'
Now. the fairy Of the flowers once was passing by
that way
TO nurse little primrose that was sckly, so they
say,
And she heard them all bewsiling to a blackbird
a spray
''oh, won't you let US have your wings little
while todsy7"
So the kindly fairy listened, and they told her all
their woe.
And she summoned all the fairy knights whose
wings were white as snow.
And begged and borrowed every one-they'ye sew
eral pairs, you know
Aud put them on the buttercups, the poor things
pleaded
oh. high they flew, and low they few; the old
sun blinked his eye;
The breezes came a-chasing them. all laughing
with surprise,
And ever since that day when first they auttered
meath the skies
We've had the buttercups with wings and called
them butterflies

She Grow. vioieta by the Tubful.

A clergyman's daughter in England
has found profitable employment which
she can carry on without leaving her fam
lily. She supplies violets to the London
trade for crystallizing, sending the heads
Of the Neapolitan violets which she cult
Yates up to town and selling them at so
much a pound. She grows her violets in
tubs, with holes all round, planting the
roots In layers one on top of another,
with good earth between, the flowers be-
ing able to grow out of the holes in the
sides of the tubs. She therefore gets a
profusion of blossoms in a very small
space. She has also tried Strawberries
grown in this manner, which have been
very successful for the early market and
by growing them in a mass on the sides
of a movable tub she is able to get them
a greater amount of sun, which material
ly adds to the value Of forced strawber-
ries or fruit Of any kind.
