Falling From a Great Height.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whymper, who had severe succession
of falls once in the Alps. without losing
his consciousness declares enphatical-
ly that as he. bounded from one rock to
another he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield.
The entrance of the bullet into the body
is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or limb parhyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by fall do not know which
limb is broken till they try to rise. At
the moment of fall the whole intel
lectual activity is increased to an ex-
traordinary degree. There is not a
trace of anxiety. One considers quick
ly what will happen. This is by no
means the consequence of "presence Of
mind" 1t is rather the product Of alb
solute necessity. A solemn composure
takes possession of the victim Death
by fall is beautiful one Great
thoughts fill the victims soul. They
fall painlessly into great blue sky

why the Church Was Crowded.

A certain little Flemish watering
place much frequented by English and
Americap visitors has two attractions,
Presbyterian church and a roulette
table. At recent service In the church
1t occurred to one Of the pillars that
1t might be lucky to play the number
of the hymn after the sermon at the
roulette table. So he stole out Of the
church and did so. 1t happened that
the number of the hymn did turn up,
and the lucky coup became the talk Of
the village for the rest of the week.
Next Sunday the church was cram.
med to the door. The pious pastor was
rejoiced in heart. After powerful ad-
dress he gave out "hymn No. o." The
moment the words left his lips, to his
CONSERVATION, there was rush to the
door, and he was left with a faithful
handful to upraise their agitated strain
of praise.
AS for the rest, they made bee line
from the house Of prayer to the house
Of play. 1t is said that their little adj
venture cost them all very dear.

back to work by cutting off their food
supply. If that does not succeed, they
will attack the strikers in force or
make a raid and get another gang OF

The strike ends by the "yellows" es-

DISCOMFORTS IN GREECE.
4 Place Where the Eye Rather Than
the Palate IL Gratined.


Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece in the beauty of its landscapes.
1t is not a land for luxurious people,
however. The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
ness and a color that no other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
have not been affected by what we call
the advances Of modern civilization.
In public conveniences, however,
Greece is still far behind the times.
Athens is the only place where the ho-
tells are tolerable, and travellers who 60
into the interior must take their own
provisions and bedding. Even those
who make little excursions by carriage
for single day in the neighborhood Of
Athens must carry lunch basket, be-
cause the inns are primitive and filthy.
Railway facilities are limited. With
q few exceptions the roads are bad
but they are gradually improving, and
most of the centcrs of great interest to
tourists may now be reached by car
rlage. Only few years ago travellers
had to go on horseback or on foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now
those who visit some of the most inter-
esting places have to put up with dis
comforts, inconveniences and a good
deal of dirt and bad smells, although
they are fully repaid.-Chicago Record
