them; you can easily guess when
L did the first and when [ did the
last. My town also produces
choice fruits in large quantities,
one species of which is known
here by the name of cantaloupes,
but they are considerably larger
and better tasted, that is, sweeter
than those grown here. The
weight of them varies from 4 to
-25 pounds each. There is also a
large quantity Of grapes Of differ
ent kinds grown. Some are black,
some are white and some are red.
These are either exported to other
countries or converted into wine.
The chief trade of Greece consists
in carrying these products to
other countries. Back Of the
town begin ranges of hills and
other small plains. In those
plains are grown different kinds
of vegetables such as peas, beans
and watermelons. The hills are
mostly covered with stones and
through them are built railroads,
whose main trade is hauling stone
for building houses and long walls
out into the sea, thus making a
pier far out into the ocean. The
climate is delightful, never going
below the freezing point during
the nights in the winter months,
and the next day when the sun
shines it is warm and comfortable.
In the summer time it does not

The following composition by
a 12-year-old schoolboy who has
had just sixteen months of Eng
lish in our public schools, will
show what can be accomplished
along this line of work. The ar
tiele was written in response to a
request from his teacher that he
write a short story Of his home
land, rather than prepare the
regular language lesson:
Greece.
I lived in Scala, Southern
Greece. 1t was only five miles
from the Mediterranean Sea. 1t
is situated on a hill; beneath the
town is vast plain extending
to the seashore; in the middle OF
the plain flows a river which
makes the soil very productive
In that vast plain there grows all
kinds of plants and fruits. There
are wheat fields, corn fields and
cotton fields; almost everything
in small tracts. In the harvest
time this plain presents a fine pic
turesque scene, everywhere are
men cutting wheat, tying it into
bundles and still others loading it
on horses and transferring it to
the town to be ground up in the
mills. There are quite number
of natural springs, and you can
see the water flowing constantly
from them. 1t makes you wonder
for an instant where all this wa
ter can come from, and this made
a deep impression on my mind at
the time I was there. There is
also a large quantity of corn
grown in this plain, and when the
corn is at it's full growth the plain
presents a most enchanting sight.
There is a certain place in town
called Vegla, from which point
YOU can behold the boundless wa
ters of the sea, with vessels COM

her that she should dislike him very much and
that she should make an effort to leave him of
her own free will. In the course of a few weeks
she actually conceived the idea that her hus-
band was no longer necessary to her existence
and left him. She was not heard of for several
weeks. Suddenly. and without being able to
give any account Of her whereabouts during her
absence, she reappeared at the home of a sister.

sister invited her to remain with her. Apparent

recovered her sanity, and returned to his home,

Some Of the Dangers Of Hypnotisrn.

Is there a dangerous side to hypnotism? Much
has been written and said lately by men of high
mental and moral quality about the excellencies
of hypnotism. BY its people could be healed
of certain diseases. Under its influence powers

clared at a meeting of the Medico-Legal Society

dangerous side.

fifteen years." she said the other day. has dis-
couraged me as TO its value. 1t tends to lessen
the individuality of the person hypnotized and
renders the subject more or less receptive 10

recent Wood or Wolff trial In this instance
there was belief in another personality.
