Career of D~elyannis.

Delyannis had been a power in Greek
politics for the last fifty years. He
was born at. Kalavryta. in 1896. He
studied law in Athens, entered the
Government service in 1913, and was
rapidly promoted to high positions.
In the various Cabinets from 1868 to
1878 he held office nine times, either as
Minister of Foreign Affairs or of FL
nance, or of Worship and Instruction.
He was the representative of Greece
at the Berlin Congress in 1873, and
succeeded in obtaining an extension of
territory for his country. In 1885 he
formed a new Ministry, but his policy
led to a blockade of the Greek coast
by a fleet of great powers, and he re-
signed in 1886. He was Prime Minis
ter again in 1890, but his unsatisfac-
tory management of finances led to his
dismissal in 1892.
He held the office a third time, from
1895 to 1897, when, under pressure of
public opinion, he involved Greece in
the disastrous wal with Turkey and
was obliged to resign with his entire
cabinet.

The giant of the whole spider family
is the 'hOund'' or dog spider of Mad
agascar. Its body weighs almost a
pound, and each of its eight legs is
longer and larger in diameter than the
common cedar pencil. Each of its
mandibles is three-fourths Of an inch
in length and very strong.
The dog spider does not spread a net
and lie in wait for its prey, as do the
gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon, but
follows the traiI' in exact imitation
of a hound. 1t will follow a faint
scent to and fro through the weeds
and underbrush until the course is as
certained, and then suddenly dart off
in a bee line and quickly overtake the
lizard, rat, mole or other animal of
WHICH it is in pursuit. It has been
known to capture and kill lizards a
foot or more in length, and Prof. Bar
naby tell US of one which bounced
upon and killed a f%ull-grOwn rat.
The dog spider is said to be the only
variety among the larger species Of
spiders which is absolutely non-ven-
omous, there being no more danger in
its bite than there is that of a squir-
rel or a rabbit.-Boston Transcript.

assistance was quickly secured, and
The wounded statesman was taken to a
Red Cross station, where an operation
was performed i'll an effort to stop

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young gil. is
just merging into womanhood that the

and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure is being

healthy cells may be built in and q sick

not checked, may ripen into a chronic

A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on. my stomach a few years AGO., that l
was compelled to quit using it. 1t

time drank milk alone at my meals,
but ii never helped me physically, and

1t was noticed in Paris, when King
Edward was there, that he always ap-
peared in public with his right hand
gloved. but not his left. AS it is n
common practice to carry the right
glove loose, and not the left, much
speculation has been excited by the
Kings reversal of this custom. One
learned writer suggests that it is due
to a sound perception Of ~hygienic pro-
priety. The object of a glove, he says,
is not to adorn, but to protect the hand.
Which hand has the more constant en-
ployment, and is therefore brought
into closer contact with microbes?
Why, the right hand. 1t follows that
i'll keeping that hand gloved the King
shows his unfailing sense. Vive lie
