doesn't think Jeff will. In a letter
to friend here. written from Aus

Jeff doesn't beat Johnson to a pulp
and put him out inside of IL rounds
the big negro will be the victor.
Fitz says Jeff will have to fight
hardcr and faster than he ever did be

to be better than he was five years
ago to stand the punishment the negro
will inflict
True, Fitz doesn't take Johnson very
seriously. declaring that ten years
ago he could have beaten the black to
death. He thinks that in his prime
Jeffries was the best heavyweight
that ever lived, but he doesn't think
Jeffries can recover his stamina.

The Turk'a Wonderment.

Writing on the battle of Navarino, q
contributor to the Cornhill Magazine
tells this striking little story.
4In the mounting the surface of the
bay was covered with floating spars to
which many poor wretches were cling
ing, calling for help in different
tongues. Among them were many
Greek prisoners still with manacles
upon their limbs. An English lieuten-
ant who was putting ashore Turkish
official was anxious to save some ex-
hausted men who were clutching a
scorched mast. We must rescue
themr he exclaimed hotly.
"'Bahp answered the Turk. They
are only common soldiers and will soon
diev Then he laughed.
"'Good heavensl' exclaimed the Eng
lishman angrily. What is there to
laugh atY
"Laughv said the Turk. BY Allah,
you English are singular peoplel
Yesterday you came into the bay while
we were quietly at our coffee. You
knocked our ships to pieces, killed or
mangled all our men till the feet is one
vast slaughter house, and this morning
you pretend to be so humane that you
cannot pass a score of wounded SOL
diers without putting yourself out of
your way to save themP"

prinkina Cur. Of the Aneients.

Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to gold cups They
were very beautifully engraved and OF
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were enrich
ed with precious stones they some
times became peers Of the engraved
silver vessels. OF all sizes, shapes and
designs were these drinking cups, and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial of which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They were large and
small, low and tall, narrow and OBJ
long. They were purely the product of
the varying fancy Of that prodigious
age, which seemed to scorn uniform
ity. The early Greeks and Romans
drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea. these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee origi-
mated with the Assyrians. and tea was
first used by the Chinese at a very
early age.-National Food Magazine
