Review of the Week.

The outburst of animation and buoy
ancy which followed the election was
very generally anticipated, and, as in
all anticipated events, extensive meas
ures had been taken in the stock mar
ket TO reap an advantage from the re-
suit. The consequence was that enor-
nous speculative holdings OF stocks
were their own upon the market to re-
alize profits, and the market afteTward
developed some hesitancy and uncer-
tainty. The reactionary effect upon
prices proved slight, and the demon
stratiOn Of the great absorptive power
Of the market had the effect of con-
firming speculative confidence. On the
halt on Monday the dealings fell to the
lowest total since the present awaken
ing of speculation developed early in
October, but on Wednesday the trans
actions recorded rose to an aggregate
II 2.351, 600 shares. This is the largest
total for any days business since May
y, 1901.
The proportion of the dealings in the
present market done by professional
traders and the dimensions of transac-
tions by single house and Individual
traders have never been approached in
the history Ct the stock exchange.
Daily transactions of from /. TO
600 shares are credited TO single
houses and an inspection of clearing
house sheets Of such houses reveal in
some Instances that their purchases
and sales are almost balanced. The
eagerness shown to take advantage of
any demand from new and outside sets
of buyers to extend the circle Of hold
ers and TO realize profits is a natural
result Of these daring speculative ven
lures. The concentration Of operations
in a few stocks is another feature of
the market that results from the great
speculative ventures OF individuals. In
the great activity of Wednesday IL IS
seen that considerably more than half
the large total dealings were accounted
for by the sales of several stocks. The
bond market is usually looked TO as a
iruer index of the search Of capital for
fixed investment, and the very heavy
transactions i'm that department seem
10 warrant a favorable diagnosis on
the face OF the showing. But the over
whelming proportion OF the dealings in
bonds are III securities OF a class which
closely approach speculative stocks in
character. Bonds with a convertible
privilege into stocks, those with the
rate Of interest contingent on earnings
and those secured by collateral OF
stocks Of the same company make up
the great body Of the sales in the pres
eUt market.

So vastly has the farmers influence and

legislatures advanced that there is a con-
slant effort to p.acate and please him.
The legislative records show that the lar
ger portion of the laws introduced are for
the benefit of the farmer in some way.
with the advance in political and educa-
tional advantages, the farmer has reaped
material benefits that have been uplifting
and helpful. The surroundings of his
home and the appliances that he uses in
the work in the feds all have their eff
feet in making him a broader man and a
fairer student of humanity han he was

Russia Has No Love for Greece.

Harper's Weekly: Despite all her appar-
ent advances OF friendship, Russia was
ever and is yet looked upon with suspicion
and ant.pathy in Greece. There is too great
a difference between the rude and despotic
character of the Muscovites and the re-
fined and liberal nature of the Hellenes.
Moreover, the latter are still caressing
their ideas of Pan-HellenIsm and their
dream of again possessing Constantinople,
which is coveted by Russia herself. The
Muscovites know that Greece will be ever
a stubborn obstacle to their projects. a
barrier to their invading propensities, and
they conclude that the fewer Greeks there
are. the more powerful will be the Russian
empire. The traditional policy of the czars
has aimed at preventing a too intimate al
lance of Greece with any Of the four
.neighboring countries, Roumania, Bull
garia, Montenegro and Servia, which are
more or less attracted toward her by the
prestige of the superior Hellenic c~iviliza-
ton, and by the dread of the Russian bear.
This is once more demonstrated in a re-
cent dispatch from St. Petersburg stating
that it was "semi-oficially pointed OUT
that the formation of an alliance between
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro was not
only for their protection, but against Pan
HELENE aspiration in the Balkan PENN
sula. The dispatch might as well have
added that such an alliance is not yet
formed inasmuch as Russia is opposed to
1t. though she poses as the protector and
friend of the Slav orthodox population of
the Balkans and the Carpathians.
The Little Father" on the bank of the
Neva had emancipated these populations
from the Turkish yoke only to submit
them to the knout, and he worked against
them when Bulgarians, Roumanians and
Servians showed their displcasure at the
continuance of Muscovite practical dom
%ination. The czar energetically opposed.

The Democrncx Of Greece.

May Century: Our country is Ger.
tainly more democratic than Che United
States" the crown prince of Greece once
said to me in the midst of a CONVERSE
ton about the political institutions of
his country. He was surely right, If the
remarks he applied to the social and po-
litical instincts of the Greek people. No
more naturally and unaffectedly demo-
cratic people exists under the sun than
the Greek. No only are there no aris-
t~ocratic titles, but there is no apparent
consciousness, in the ordinary life and
manners, of the existence of social bar
riers. The village demarch sits placidly
and comfortably with the other villag-
ers and the peasants in the cafe or ba-
pail: the cabman who served you yes
terday does not omit to give from mis-
box a graceful salute as he passes You
or the street; no humbleness of occupa-
ton or of presumed station in life deters
one man from greeting another whom
he ,peets on the road or in the square.
or from beginning the frankest and
freest conversation The reserve and
cautious, If not bashful, self respect of
the An~glo-SaXon commonly interprets
this Greek freedom at the first as bald
~effrontcry. In the judgment of the new
conner the Greek commonly gains the
credit of being what the American col
legian would call 'decidedly fresh" In
reality, it is part and parcel of the ma
tional courtesy, tinctured and condl-
toned, to be sure, by the equally nation
al curiosity. Democracy is no affecta-
ton. The hashfulness which springs
from suspicion of barriers is unknown.

CHAPTER NNXN.
THE STORY OF HIS LIFE.

The strange story of Count Massini's
life may briefly be set down as follows:
A member Of an ancient II noble
family in the north of Italy, living in
impoverished circumstances, he had
in his youth studied medicine in the
University of Padua. With the intention
of becoming a doctor. But whilst
handsome appearance and suave
manners won him the affection of the
only daughter of Count Sasari, who pos
sessed a large fortune in her own right,
inherited from her dead mother. Her ia
theirs determined opposition failed to pre-
vent the girl from marrying Massini: and
in her endeavor to show him her love and
trust, she settled her wealth on him in
case she predeceased him..
Her handsome, vivac!ous young husband
appeared as much infatuated by herr as
she was by him; SO that his devotion ulti-
mately won her fathers approval of the
marriage he had bitterly opposed. Mas.
SIM gave up his studies and abandoned
the idea Of becoming d doctor, and with
plenty of time and his wife's money al
his disposal, he soon began to indulge hi-
passion for gambling. Tha he might play
more freely and without reproach. he con-
tinually absented himself from his young
wife, whom he had never really loved.
Three years after marriage he had been
49, v VIZ ~ ~

every available penny and had mortgaged
his wife's property was a secret that he
jealousy guarded from her and her ia
trer. Contrary to the expectations of the
doctors, she failed to recover strength
after childbirth-a threatened calamity
that increased her husbands devotion; for
BEDSIDE, w1sfe he sat With his hands
clasp.ng hers. whilst her eyes beamed on
him with indescribable love and gratitude.
AS time passed she became gradually
more exhausted, and her doctors aban-
doned hope of saving her; but refusing to
despair, her father summoned DR.. Zolfani
of Pisa. who, though at this time a young
man, had already gained a wide reputa-
ton for his skill. However, by the time
he arrived the young wife and mother had
passed painlessly, IL somewhat suddenly,
out of life.
Certain signs which had escaped the
other doctors Immediately caught the at
tention of this shrewd physician as he
looked at the dead countess; and examin-
alton convinced him that she had been
poisoned by atropa mandragora, which, If
given in minute doses. leaves little trace
behind.
Inquiry further led Zoffani to know that
her husband benefited by her death. To
him the doctor stated that the countess
had been poisoned. Massini read detec-
ton and accusation in the eyes watching
him, and taking a bold step he pointed
out that this discovery could not bring
the dead to life, whilst he would cause
pain and scandal to two noble families.
He added that silence would bring such
reward as zoffani chose to name.
The latter. who had already been bitten
by the craze for alchemy, saw in this offer
the means of beginning the work that

We're pure air, clear water, which was

the roadside. Education was universal,
and q high class education, toe. Peas

There was the strongest family affec-
ton. Husbands remained attached to
their faded wives Such fidelity our
French friend did not think possible I'M
til he went on his Greek our. He ex-
plains it thus: The Greek for centuries
showed his contempt for the polyga-
Turk in being strictly the husband
of one wife. Islam appeared to him a
sink of sensuality. This was another
reason for subjecting the body to the
rigorous discipline of the Greek church.
The Russians have the same long and
severe fasts m nocturnal prayers, out

A clear, warm climate doubtless helps
to make the Greeks the most sober peo-
pie in Europe. They are also fortunate
in having no newly rich, no a~ristocrats,
no beggars. One sees in Greece only
shepherds, tillers of the ground, arti-
sans, sailors, traders and professional
men. The traders who stay at home are
few. Two-thirds of the poulation make
their living out of the sea.
