Tho Other World.
It lies around us like a cloud
A world we do not see;
Yet, the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
Its gentle breezes fan our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whisper love.
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat.
Sweet helping hands are stirred;
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
And in the hush of rest they bring

How lovely and how sweet a.pass
The hour of death may be.
To close a W and close the ear.
Wrapped in q trance OF bliss.
And gently laid in loving arms,
To swoon to that-from this.

Scarcely asking where we are,

All sorrow and all care.

Washington, D.. C.-Against a back
ground of crumbling but magnificent mar
Bile temples, of massive aqueducts, of ex-
tensive amphitheaters, 1t is easy to project
;he ties of sentiment which bind the life
Of the Greek Of today to that of the
classic WORTHLESS from whom he claims di-
rect descent, according to a communication
addressed to the National Geographic so
clety, by George Higgins Moses, formerly
United States ambassador to Greece, a
part Of which Is issued as a bulletin by the
society. Mr.. Moses in his graphic picture
of the Athens of today and Of the modern
citizens of the city which reached the pin
nacle of it's greatness in the days of Peri
clcS. says:
ut was with only a slight shock that 1
learned that the man who brought me my
morning coffee at the legation bore the
tremendous name of Themistocles. And
yet it is difficult to visualize the modern
Athenian with those who once walked his
streets.
Thinking of Homer, of PraXiteles, and
of Phidas, one looks for Helen. for Hermes
and for Athene; but the only Helen l ever
saw In Athens was an American girl, mar
ried to a member Of the cabinet, and
whose golden hair, blue eyes and classic
features made her at once the reigning
hostess in the city. And it is only in the
islands or deep in the country where the
Albanian flood which swept across the At
tic plain has never reached, that one finds
the facial lineaments and the bodily grace
which the ancient sculptor has taught the
modern world as being common to all
Greeks of classic time. And this survival
persists chiefly among the children, be-
cause incessant toll and scanty nourish-
ment soon deprive both boys and girls of
their native grace and stamp them with
the ineradicable marks of a life of labor.
1.-The Attic year Is sharply divided eli
matically into two seasons, the rainy and
the dry, the latter beginning late in May
and extending to early October. and dur
ing which there Is no rainfall except a
single thunder shower, which comes with
great regularity during the second week
in August, Outside of Attica climatic con-
ditions are somewhat better. In the ISL
ands along the Gulf Of Corlnth, and in the
Morea there is constant greenery-grass.

siderably ~disgruntled at the time. The
large manner was very large hat eve

OF a hurry and threw a nickel at the
ice cream boy, demanding a box of
matches. The ice cream boy went, with

string, proving that even then he was
a practical demonstration of prepared
ness. And now he is a soldier. and the
neighborhood marvels that it once
bought ice cream of him, although, to
be sure, there is some comfort in the
rumor, which has even caused a little
giggling among the very girls that used
to eat the sodas and sundaes, to the
effect that, now and then, the soldier
has become an ice cream boy again,
and that he has been staggering along
between the brown tents with an ice
cream cone beneath that same uplifted
