Mrs. J. j. Astoi who stood in the
midst of a number of women who

More to be kind than anything
else, she turned to the young man
from Baltimore and said laughing

Now, if he had said eyes" he
wouldn't have attracted her atten-

In that moment, if he had done
nothing else, he had made an i'm

FEW GREEKS IN GREECE.


Greece died because the men who
madelher glory had llpassed away
and left noneof tltir Kin, and there
fore none of their kind. "'Tis
Greece, bnt living Greece 10 more,"
i3r the Greek OF today, ior he most
part, never came from the loins of
I.eonidas or Miltiadcs. He is the
son Of the stable boys and scullions
and slaves of the day Of her glory,
those OF whom imperial Greece
could make no use in her conquest
Of Asia. "Most of the old Greek
race says Mr.. W. II. Ireland, "has
been swept away, and the country is
now inhabited by persons of Sla-
vonic descent. Indeed there is strong
ground for the statement that there
was more of the old heroic blood of
1Ielas in the Turkish army of Ed
hem Pasha than in the soldiers of
King George, who fled before them
three years ago" King George
himself is only an alien placed on
the Grecian throne to suit the con-
venience of the outside powers,
which to the ancient Greeks were
merely factions of barbarians. In
the late war some poet, addressing
the spirit of ancient Greece, thus
appealed to her:
OF all thy thousands grant US three
To make new Thcnnopylu.
But there were not even three
not even one-"to make another
Marathon" and the Turkish troops
swept over the historic country with
no other hindrance than the effort
less deprecation of Christendom.-

Liberty Bell to Be Loaned.

Pennsylvania is to have Il beauti-
full building at the South Carolina
exposition, which opens in the fall.
Its central attraction will be the old
Liberty bell surrounded by an elab-
crate civic and educational display.
1t will be constructed Of staff,
with tower, dome and columns of
dazzling whiteness. The tower,
over 100 feet high, will be one of its
features, duplicating the tower on
Independence hall. The ample
dome over the exhibition room in
the building will be beautilied with
electric bulbs, and will mount a pow
orful searchlight, which will illumi-
nate all the exposition grounds
Surrounding the building will be a
terraced garden 400 by 200 feet in
area, with a miniature lake at one
end. Twenty thousand dollars is
the estimated cost.-Philadelphia

Stole a March on the Firemen.

The fremen attached to engine
company No. so and truck u, sta
toned at Park avenue and Cambria
street, were belated in responding to
an alarm of fire few days ago, On
the first ,clang of the ''ioker" the six
horses sprang to their accustomed
places, and as the chains were not
across the exit doors one of the ami
mails made a break for the door,
The other five followed, and all
made a bee line in the supposed
direction Of the fire at a mad gallop,
with the entire crews of the two
companies in mad pursuit. The
horses ran several blocks and were
captured by the enraged fremen in
an open lot quietly enjoying the
fresh grass. Fortunately the fire
was of minor consequence and was
extinguished without the aid of the
epartment.--Philadelphia Record.

How to Care For Glass Bric.a-brae
and Repair Broken Pieces.

Glass, though proverbially brittle,
will stand any amount of hard
usage, but once it is broken the only
thing that remains to be done is to
throw it away. Cementing will not
do much good. If the stem of wine
glass or vase is broken, mending is
sometimes possible by applying to
the joints some easily fusible cc-
ment, such as shellac, through sill
yer tube.
Glass that has been properly an
nealed will stand variations of tenn
perature perfectly well, but if this
hasn't been done it is likely to break
instantly and without apparent rea-
son.
Frequently globes and chimneys
fly to pieces When not properly heat
ed. This is due to draft or mois-
ture upon the chimney, especially
lamp chimneys, which will crack
from top to bottom even after the
lamp has been ,eXtineuished
Glass vases used for flowers fre-
quently become coated with an un-
pleasant deposit in the inaccessible
parts Of the inside This is due to
decayed stems of flowers that are
left too long in the water. This de-
posit may be removed by cleaning
with a cloth that has been dipped
in pumice stone powder. Cane.
if beaten flat with hammer and
dipped into the powder, makes an
excellent brush and holds the pum-
ice stone in position between the
fbers.
Hydrochloric acid, one part acid
to eight parts water, will remove
any ordinary deposit If this does
not have the desired effect, the guam
tity of acid may be increased.
1t is advisable to keep the hands
out of the acid as much as possible,
as it is injurious and often cracks
the finger nails.

Summer Salads.

A refreshing salad is made of
mixture Of tomatoes, chopped cab
bage, green peppers and olives sea-
soned with salt and filled into the
shells of tomatoes from which the
pulp has been removed. A gener-
Gus allowance of mayonnaise is
placed on the top Of each, and they
are served on a bed Of crisp lettuce.
A delicious salad is made of one
pint Of fresh peas which have been
cooked, drained and chilled and an
equal quantity of English walnuts
blanehed and cut the size of the
peas. These are mixed, seasoned
with salt and mayonnaisc dressing,
and served on lettuce or cress.
