AUTOMOBILES IN GREECE.
The City Of Athens Has a Dozen
That Were Bought in
France

There are II automobiles in this
consular district, or, to speak more
definitely, in the city of Athens, writes
Consul Horton, of Athens. Three Of
these belong to the king and tn,
princes. His majesty's automobile is
quite a luxurious affair, and is said to
have cost some 10000 francs ($3,86O).
That owned by Prince Andreas was
presented to him by the car of Rus
STA. Most of the automobiles in use
here were bought in France at a cost
of from 1000 to 10000 francs (S772 to
$1,000. Three new ones are now on
their way to this country. Automo-
biles are classed by the tariff law as
four-wheeled carriages, which, uphol-
stored or not, used or unused, pay a
duty of 300 francs (s57.9O) each, beside
octroi, etc. In the case Of a high
priced carriage, with sumptuous fur
nishings, duty is assessed on value de-
clared in invoice and bill of lading,
and importers are advised to obtain an
invoice from the Greek consul in the
country from which the shipment is
made. In this latter case the duties
are 20 per cent. Of assessed value, S25
octroi and per cent. on the 20 per
cent. Parts or accessories to autos
pay according to their assessed value.
Automobiles are classed as carriages
for the reason that machinery is ad-
mitted into Greece free of duty.

MExIcANs WORSHIP IMAGES
Indians Who Are in Utter Ignorance
OF Everything Pertaining
to the Creator.

A village in Mexico of 1000 souls, not
one of whom had heard of God-such is
the story told by Rev. s. G. Inman, q
minister of the Christian church at Mon
terey.
Nesting In a deep valley rs miles from
Saltillo and shut off from the rest OF
the world by high and impossible cliffs,
the pure Indians have lived for genera
tions, still worshiping their stone and
wooden images and still utterly I'M
learned in everything pertaining to Q
supreme being, according to Mr.. In
man, who has written to friends in
Mexico City concerning his strange find.
Santo Domingo is what the town Is
called, though why and wherefore none
of the elders of the village could tell. II
had been called that for generations
and more, and they did not know the
significance of the words.
1t was by accident that Mr.. Inman
stumbled on the quaint and curious vii
lage hemmed in by precipitous crags
He was riding overland toward Saltillo
when he came to a deep cut in the
mountains which he followed and which
led to the town of Santo Domingo White
men had been there before and the
sight of the missionary was no novelty
to the pure Indian descendants thai
thronged round his horse and offered
their hospitality-poor, but the best
they had. After partaking of it and as
certaining through the guide who ac'
companied him that the Indians knew
nothing of a God or a Creator of all
things, the minister deemed it best to
hold some sort of a meeting and give
spiritual instruction. This could not be
accomplished at the first trip and Mr..
Inman returned to Monterey, where ar
rangements are now being made to hold
regular meetings there and instiD
some Christianity into the descend
ants of the aborigines.

with a very business-like manner,

walker, made directly for the Grape

She had rather a thoughtful air as

"We have very large stock Of grapes.

some new French goods, very popular
just now for every kind Of mourning.
Now, these light grapes are all the

IN THE INTEREST OF CATS
Law and Society Are Beginning to
Look After Welfare Of
Fslines.

1t is appropriate that the cat should
obtain recognition, being individual
rather than collective. The dog is
licensed, and, realizing the obligation,
he fights for his master. But the cat
is not licensed, and realizing her in
dependence, she fights for herself. And
she does very we'll, whether on offense
or defense. The sort Of fence makes
very little difference, says the Boston
Traveller.
But the days Of her independence are
threatened. She does not know it and
pursues her life with undiminished
enthusiasm and unmuffled voice. But
there is plot thickening. The cat is
beginning to figure in law and society.
So far, though the cat has been in close
association with mankind for many
thousand years. she has maintained her
individuality. No one can claim close
intimacy with the cat. At least no one
can make others believe the claim.
But now intimacy is to be forced upon
her. No sooner is the black cat incor-
porated under the laws of New Jersey,
as recently noted, than great national
cat club is formed. No, 1t is not club
for cats. The cat congresses remain un-
affiliated and will meet independently
as usual. This is a club of women, who
have organized themselves into the
Lockhaven Cat club for the purpose
of cultivating an interest in the owner
ship of thoroughbred cats, to find homes
and care for vagrant cats and to give
private and public exhibition of cats"
The club must be looking for trouble.

are all harmless varieties, and the
water also is deodorized and freed
from color. The process is substan-
TALLY as follows: An electric current
is taken from the city's wires to OPP
crate a motor generator producing a
current Of 100 alterations, which is
raised by transformers and condensers
to a 10000 voltage. The current
passes as a pencil of blue light from
each of some millions of metallic dis
charge points across short air gap
to nickel receivers. Atmospheric air
is drawn across this gap by means Of
an air pump, and in so passing 1t Ia
partially converted into ozone. The
ozonized air is then forced through
standpipe, In which It meets current
of water flowing in the opposite di-
rection. The containing bacteria are
destroyed by the ozone.

1T WAS HIS HOUR OF JOY.
Story of a Long-Suffering Husband
Who at Last Is Duly
Recognized.

The famous and successful woman
was addressing a large audience.
writes c. w. Taylor, in the Chicago
Tribune.
'T cannot but confess" she said,
chat the many marks of respect and
esteem and confidence | have received
from the public during the past years
have been sources of great pride and
qualification to me. But 1t would be
unwomanly in me were to calmly ac-
cept these tributes of your confidence
and take all the credit to myself. l be-
lieve that this is the time for me to
make acknowledgment in this public
manner to one who has been my COM
panion. my counselor and my guide,
and who has upheld my weary hands
when the tasks seemed too great for
my strength, and who has cheered me
with loving words when l have re-
turned worn and weary from my ardu.
GUS duties in club and on rostrum.
who has by thoughtful, constant min.
istrations given the blessed knowledge
that always there is for me a haven
of refuge and rest, a harbor Of com.
fort and cheer-my home. All that J
am and all that l have | owe to that
inestimable man, my husband"
Among the vast assemblage that
cheered and huzzaed at hearing these
noble sentiments could be seen the
modest f cure Of man, weeping silent
tears of Joy. In this glorious moment
his slen Ter frame seemed surrounded
by a glow of gladness and even his
straggly whiskers took on some sem
blance of grace. 1t was her husband.
The poor mans patience and self,
sacrifice were recognized at last.

HOW WATCHES ARE INJURED
Many Timepieces Put Out Of Order
by Falling, Moisture,
Etc.

do many persons allow their
watches to fall?" recently asked a
customer, Of a well-known jeweler, &C
cording to the Neurological Review.
Half of those brought in for re-
pair have suffered in that way" was
the reply; ut is the most frequent ac-
cident. Accidents of this kind hap
pen most frequently to men, on ac-
count OF their having the watch at
tached to a fob. The number Of
watches injured by falls increases
when this fashion comes in, and 1t
declines when the mode Of attaching
watches is in vogue. But there are
many other ways Of allowing watches
to fall"
"Who handle their watches most
carefully, men or women?"
81 cannot say, but women are more
accustomed to attach their watches to
their clothing OF to a chain worn
around the neck, so that they are in
less danger Of falling"
"How is it with children"
Girls are more careful than boys,
and their watches fall less frequently.
Some boys will allow a watch to fall
three or four times a day; others seem
to play with it as with a football"
Does a fall always harm watch?'
Most assuredly, and a little fall
may be as injurious as a great ore.
Moisture is very bad for a watch; at
times it penetrates where it could
scarcely be expected. More than
once q caressing father who has al
lowed his child to play with his
watch finds that it begins to rust.
The breath of the child has affected
it, or perhaps it has been taken into
the mouth. A frequent cause for re-
pair is the breaking of the spring,
which will happen to the most careful
person."

GLOVERS AND STAYMAKERS
Paris Industry That Dates Back
Seven Centuries-0rigin
of Corset.

The corporation Of glovers and stay
makers Of Paris have just celebrated
the seventh centenary Of their indus
try with a banquet and ball, says
Paris correspondent of the London Ex-
press.
The origin of the corset is essential
ly unaristocratic. A butcher In the
thirteenth century had a talkative
wife, who was, in addition, something
of a virago. To reduce her to silence
he imprisoned her body in the first
pair of stays. Wives have initiated
and improved upon the idea of the
thirteenth century butcher, but stays
and silence have ceased to be synon-
ymous.
Gloves have also had checkered
history AS lately as two centuries
ago they were forbidden in France in
churches, at the kings court when the
king was present and in the courts of
law. In the first part of the eight
eenth century they almost passed out
of fashion, but Paris followed London
in such matters, as it does to-day, and
when in 1889 it was known that the
London dandies wore six different
kinds of gloves each day the fashion
returned to Paris, and has never
left II.
But gloves are not worn here as they
are worn in London. No Londoner
puts on a pair of white or lavender
kid gloves to pay call. In Paris
white or lavender kid gloves for men
worn with frock coat are the height
Of fashion.

BACTERIA EMIT LIGHT.
Phosphoresoent Cleans Produced By

colonies of bacteria. The vessel now
emitted a beautiful bluish-green light
and have recently found that the in.
tensity Of the lamp may be greatly In
creased if the bacteria be sown ir

if there be added to the gelatine from

one-half per cent. of glycerine. Such
