FUNERALS l;@ GREECE.

They Are Somewhat of n Shock to
the American Tourist.
zone thing sure to shock the Ameri-
can tourist is a Greek funeral" said a
recently returned traveller 1T Is a
spectacle which most persons of con-
ventlon governed decency desire to
avoid, because the body of the dead is
exposed in an open hearse. The coffin
fs shallow, SO that not only the face
and head, but the hands and much of
the body, can be seen from the side
walk as the procession moves through
the streets.
"The lid of the coffin, frequently rich
ly upholstered and decorated with gar
lands and wreaths, Is carried on the
hearse by the undertaken. The priest.
the relatives and other mourners fol-
low, and as the CHASTITY spectacle moves
along it is customary for bystanders to
remove their head gear and cross them
selves.
I'm the Athens cemeteries graves are
rented for term of years, just like the
habitations Of the quick. Only the
wealthy own burial lots. This is in
variably an evidence of wealth or aris-
tocracy. The poor seldom dream Of
buying a lot or tomb. Such purchase
would be deemed among them an un-
necessary luxury.
"At the end of the term for which a
grave is rented the bones are dug up,
placed in a bag, labeled with the name
and date and deposited in n general re-
ceptacle."-New York Herald.

Rewards For Lost Property,

"More lost and stolen articles would
be recovered If the losers would adopt
different methods in advertising for
their property" said headquarters
detective the other day. "Of course
honest persons do not haggle over the
remuneration for returning locket, q
dog or anything else. But every one is
not built along those lines. 1t may
sound very nice to say, Liberal re-
ward If returned to owner but there
are different ideas of liberality. The
sum usually dwindles in the mind of
the owner when he sees his property
before him, and no one knows this bet
ter than the finder.
at is far more effective to set forth
q definite sum in the advertisement.
Five or twenty-five dollars means more
than vague promise to be real gen
erous. OF course there are cases when
1t Is not wise to be too explicit, but in
nine cases out of ten q stated sum will
bring better results than an indefinite
offer This is nearly always true with
watches with the owners monogram
engraved on the case. as the pawn
broker refuses to loan so much on ar
ticles so easily identified."-NewY York

The average person of so called cul-
ture who has leisure to read reads too
much and thinks too little, and in con-
sequence his conversation lacks fresh
ness and spontaneity. An exchange,
after saying that people generally read
too much and read more than they
carry, tells story of man who had
been great reader, but had changed
his ways, and people, after he read
less, finding him much more interest
ing, exclaimed: How entertaining
John was today, He must have been
reading a good deal"
Mere reading ls n waste OF time. To
conduce to intelligence the reader must
train the mind to concentration on the
subject in hand, and to concentration
must be added the effort to clothe and
transmit thought in appropriate phrase.

bushels Of wheat against bo. 600 bushels

bushels Of wheat against 5000 busheIa
three years ago. The road now build
ing runs through the valley for TOO
miles, and the wheat area which 1t will
bring into touch with the markets will
affect wheat growers in our own coun-
try. One possibility In this connection
opens a field for interesting specula-
tion. This new field lies within coo
miles Of Hudson bay, and the Canadian
Northern railroad has definite plans for
a line to deep water harbor on that
bay. For 200 years the Hudson Bay,
company has brought all their sup
plies from England for their trading
posts through this northern route and
by the same route have shipped out
their annual accumulation Of furs and
pelts. During all that time officials OF
the country claim to have never lost a.
vessel In the straits or in the bay. The
straits can be navigated for seven or
eight months of the year, or ms long as
navigation is open on our great lakes.
An examination OF a map OF the
world will show that the sailing dis
tance from ports on the western shores
Of Hudson bay to Liverpool II practi-;
cally the same as from New York to
Liverpool. The Canadian government
has just dispatched an expedition OF
scientists and practical steamship men
to survey the Hudson bay waters to
determine the practicability Of an ex-
port grain route. This expedition Is to
spend one year at the work, and IL the
conclusion is favorable 1t will mean a
new commercial route which will ham
die not only the wheat OF northwestern
Canada, but may divert the export
channel of wheat from our own Red
river valley. This Canadian wheat now
commands a premium in the English
market, and II an export route can be
devised which will save the present
cost Of transportation from Lake Supe-
rior ports to the seaboard 1t will create
a condition which may revolutionize
the American wheat trade.-Country

Fond as bees are of nectar, they are
yet fonder Of honey and will forsake
working In the fields to collect load
of ready prepared sweets. Thus bee
keepers often have trouble In handling
the honey in their apiaries, for when
the bees get scent of 1t they fall upon
the plumber and quickly convey 1t back
to their hives. Under the intoxicating
influence of ready made honey they Of
ten become demoralized. Swarms some
times fight over the honey, and finally
the strong ones break into the hives Of
the weak and rob them. Old time bee
keepers understand that when honey Is
to be handled 1t must be taken into a
room and the door closed or there Is
danger that the whole apiary might be
seized With a frenzy for robbing. Great
care should be taken In opening hives
ut times when little or no honey is COM
ing in from the fields, and at no time
should honey be left exposed in or near
the apiary, says F. G. Herman in Amer
lean Agriculturist.

not back.
We were not then aware Of 1T. but
meantime in his chateau Jean lie Bel
was lying i'll of lingering fever,
which all his fretting over his help
fessness did not whit abate. The sec
ond crusade marshaled and advanced
without him.
Everybody has heard how the army

We from the Cha teau des Bois stayed

Bronzed by the desert, SCARED by the

We drew up before the little inn at
the entrance to the valley and dis
mounted. My lord would have cup of

announce to the chateau the news or

AS we dumped in old, fat Pierre him

when he beheld my lord he turned
white as the whitest skull bleaching

Long since sure word came to us

Pierre, staring doubtfully.

bolts, the hook projecting over the end
to catch in the links of the chain.
use an ordinary log chain. with a hook
on the end. The fulcrum is made of
three pieces spiked together, the center
piece feet s inches long and thick
lily between the two outside pieces,
which are six inches longer and pro-
ject above the centerpiece that much.
These outside pieces are III by 4 inches.
Bore the five-eighths inch hole through
these projecting outside pieces about
an inch and half from the top. Put
IN the lever, run a bolt through, and
the puller is ready for business I
pulled up some old barn shed posts
with this device that / could not move
with two horses and chain. This de-
vice is not patented.
l will illustrate very handy instru-
ment for setting posts on clay soil. To
drive post down to proper depth in
clay soil without first making hole is
apt to splinter the top of post. How
to prevent this and save labor Is the
question we want to get at. The cut
shows an instrument for making post
hole that Is used In Geauga county, o.,
by quite a number of farmers. 1t Is
made Of cast iron and is 20 inches long
by 31a inches square, running to a
sharp point at the bottom. 1t has a
hole in the top for wood handle. In
the spring Of the year, before the
ground gets settled down hard, one can
make hole ready for post with two
or three jams, and by having a post
properly sharpened one can set 1t with
two or three taps with a maui, 90 that
1t win stand firm. BY going over the
fence every spring, giving each post q
couple of taps with maui just after
the frost comes out of the ground, 1t
will stand straight. I have In mind
several rods of fence that has been up
for ten years, and the posts stand
straight and solid today.

THE CANADIAN NORTHWEST
A Possible Revolution In the Amerf-
can Wheat Trade.

can Wheat Trade.
The development Of the wheat fields
Of the Canadian northwest is the
marked agricultural movement Of the
times. The wheat lands Of Manitoba
have been under cultivation long
enough to make it an old story for that
province, but the tide of immigration
which Is pouring into the territories
farther west is opening up a new
wheat district, the extent Of which can
hardly be approximated with our pres
snt knowledge Of the country. By rea-
sons both of soil and climate the wheat
producing area is limited, mainly con-
fined to Manitoba, eastern Asslniboia
and Saskatchewan. 1t Is in this terri
tory last named that development In
now most rapid. The Canadian North
ern railroad Is building westward
through the valley Of the river Of the
same name, laying track at the rate OF
two and one-half miles per day, and 1t
Is here that settlement is rife.
Experience at the few points In this
valley previously settled show that 1t
is a great wheat country, the town OF
Rosthern, on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, which crosses the valley, ship
ping this year more than a million
