QUEEN IS TO VISIT MONKS
VIII Enter Monasteries Which No
Woman Has Been Allowed to See
for Centuries.

Vienna.-The Neues Tagablatt's
Athens correspondent says Queen o.
ga of Greece intends to visit FL
monasteries on Mount Athos, 81 miles
southeast of Salontdi, thus breaking
the rule prohibiting women to visit
the sacred mountain, which has been
strictly observed for 1,50O years.
The monks on the mountain" con-
tinues the correspondent, "on many
occasions have refused to permit roy
al ladies' to visit them, always excus-
ing themselves behind the legend that
the Virgin Mary with her infant Christ
visited the mountain, and that no
woman has been allowed to do so
since.
Now that the Greeks have con-
quered the territory and the king and
queen proposed a visit to the noun
tain, the monks summoned their coun-
Gil and decided that they had no
course but to rescind the rule
Mount Athos, or the Holy Noun
tain, was the center of Greek theology
and learning In the middle ages. Many
masterpieces of ancient Greek litera-
ture still remain in the libraries
there. The Turkish government gives
the monks almost complete autonomy.
Aside from the FL monasteries on the
mountain there are numerous grottos,
cells and chapels. The monks num-
Der several thousand. Many of them
are hermits and live in caves.

Mr.. GosLINGTON GOT EVEN
Collision of IIi-Mannered Man and
Fire Hydrant Afforded Him Much
Satisfaction.

You know the crowding, pushing,
all-mannered chaps" said Mr.. Gosling-
ton, that elbow their way through
and crowd you off into the gutter, like
as not, and pass right on with never a
thought? / encountered one of them
this morning in Sixth avenue.
He overlook me, coming up from
the rear, walking faster than I, and
when he had come to me he didn't
sheer out, but kept right along, shout
der1ng me SO that l almost fell into
n street. But in one brief moment
/ was more han fully avenged.
Just as this ill-mannered chap
s~hou1dered me I had arrived at a fire
hydrant, for which I was about to
sheer out. You know the fire hydrant?
Built Of cast iron, very hard. and
standing up rigidly, very rigidly. You
can't just shoulder a fire hydrant out
OF the way, and just as this man Shout
dered me u of his course he came
upon the fire hydrant, which with me
covering it from view he had not
seen. His next rude, reckless step
forward carried him up against this
fire hydrant fair and squarely per-
bunk!
"And 1t didn't break his leg, but
It did make him limp; he limped quite
perceptibly, I was pleased to see, as
he walked away"

CANTON MODEL CITY
Metropolis, Where Vice Was Pre-
dominant, Is Now Transformed.
Overthrow Of the Manchus is Respon.
sible for Chanee-Opium Smoking
and Open Gambling Is
Now Unknown.

Pekin, China.-A common proverb
in China was, IF you wish to be
wicked, go to Canton"
One who knows the old Canton,
with it's treasures of iniquity, would
be greatly surprised today at the ire
mendous change. No longer do the
four story palaces Of vice lear the
foreign settlement bring their seduc-
tive influence to bear on the youth of

No longer do you find on three and
four corners Of the principal street
crossings the blatant signs, Gambling
Here There is not an open gam
bling den nor a lottery in this city
of over a million and a half of peo-
pie. Opium smoking, that curse worse
than drink in western lands, is gone,
never to return, it is asserted.
Not only have these three open
sores Of the western world healed, but
age-long abuses due to ancient relig-
ion and custom, have been cut away
to allow the new growth of truth to
appear. Slavery has been abolished
by law, and assistance is given to
those who are freed to find mea of
livelihood. Four hundred girls are
being educated in one school at the
city's expense. The blind singing
girls are now being cared for and
given an education in industrial work.
And, finally, the ~nunneries have
been opened, the girls in them are
allowed the choice of leaving or re-
naming, and the small girls pur-
chased to be brought up as uns are
liberated and are being taught in
government schools. Twelve Of the
13 Confusian temples in the city have
been turned over to the control of
the educational department to be used
as schools.
These great reforms are but the re-
suit Of the natural moral force of the
Chinese, combined with the enlight-
eminent of the west. Once freed from

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so,s for we are given e thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time

But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and u Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind Of food
