A Dance at EIeusis.

The Greek country girls have their national dances.
1t at Eeusis, within sight Of the ruins where
were celebrated the mysteries in the famous temple
where Demeter worshiped and where the art of
agriculture had its start You may remember the
story. Pluto, the god of Hades, had carried off the
beautiful Persephone the daughter of goddess Deme
ter, and Demeter hunting her. She came to Eeu-
sis disguised old woman. and the king there en-
tertained her we'll that she gave seed to his
and taught him to farm She finally found Perse-
phone and arranged with Pluto that latter might
stay with her outside Hades for twothirds of year.
while during the other third she would remain in
darkness like seed in the ground. It was on &C
count of this legend that the Greeks held their farm
ing festivities here and here they have them today
At this dance the girls were dressed in costumes
Of silk embroidered with gold Their heads were COW
cred with wells of fine silk. the of which were
striped with gold. They the long gowns which

gold coins strung that they extended from side
Of the body to the other These breastplates were
their fortunes each girl carrying her person the
dowry which she brings to her husband In marriage
The Greeks have marriages without dowries and
the bride is expected to add her share the fund
which the has laid up starting housekeeping

of the family have to walt until the girls are provided
with husbands.

How the Farmers Live.

In the summer many of the farmers sleep ont of
doors and live largely in the open The country
houses are almost everywhere poor and rather mean
in comparison with those of other European countries
They have stone floors and the poorer ones have
neither windows chimneys. Some of two stories
have stable the ground floor, and the people live
above going up by stairway from the outside There
is almost furniture and a little stove or an
open fire often forms the cooking arrangements. In
the smaller houses the pigs sometimes taken in
side little low wall is built side of the
room and there the people sleep at night
The Greeks live simply. 1 did not a drunken
during stay in the country, and there cannot
be much gluttony in place where bread wine and
onions make up the average dinner. But little meat
is eaten by the farmer goats cheese and dried olives
taking its place. Olive oil is used butter
eaten upon everything. Farm hands usually fed
upon bread and olives, with mutton or goats flesh
upon feast days One of the great feasts is at Easter
This holds the same place Thanksgiving with US
roast lamb taking the place of Thanksgiving
turkey.

A Crop for America.

Since this conversation have made some in
Quiries about the Zante eurrant as it is called and
am wondering If it cannot be produced in America.
We are now taking about 1000 tons every year and
this is about onetwelfh OF the whole crop We have
all sorts of climates, and which correspond to
that OF Corinth Parts of California and Arizona
must be OF that nature. am told that the currants
often produce net of $40 per acre and that a cur
rant vineyard will sell for s4OO $500 per acre The
vines begin to yield in their fourth year and are in
their prime at twelve years They will keep on bear
ing for fifty and vines shown here which are
said to be 100 years old. The vines planted and
cared for as In most grape-growing countries. The
currants are ripe in August and easily dried and
packed for shipment. / am told that the inferior

The Honey of Hymettus.

You have all heard of the honey of Hymettus,
which was celebrated by the old Greek poets. That
honey is sold throughout Greece. although it is
claimed that honey from other places than Hymettus
is equally good. All Greek honey has a fine flavor,
which is supposed to be due to the thyme which grows
everywhere. An American who has made a
fortune in Bookkeeping in the United States and who
understands all about flowers honey producers
Just made a tour Of Greece. She says there is no
land earth well fitted for the bee farmer any
which has as many honey-producing flowers. She
found fifty different varieties of blossoms tramp

She thinks Greece might supply much, of the honey
of Europe If its bees handled after modern
methods AS it is now the hives baskets,
plastered with mud and the bees smoked out
when the honey is taken. Many killed and the

Grain Farming,

I saw but little wheat my way across Greece,
although am told both wheat and barley grown.
The most of the wheat used is imported from Russia
Some is still raised the plain Of Thessaly which in
the past was the bread basket of the country. This
plain is now divided into estates owned by very
few people, who rent the lands for twothirds Of the
crop. The government proposes to buy the larger
farms and sell them on to the peasants long time
at low prices.
Another increase in the farming lands of Greece
will come from the draining Of Lake Kopais this will
add about 10000 acres. and told that there is
more which may be brought into use. AS 1t is now
less than onehfth of the country is cultivated and
