BUSY GREEK PEASANT GIRL
Care Of Sheep and Goats, and House hold Duties, Leave Her Little
 Time for Dallyinq.

To the Greek peasant girl is com mitted the care of her fathers flock, which she must lead every day to the pasture and fold at night. The voslSo- poula, or shepherdess, is one of the most prominent characters in rural folk song, and many q charming idyl has been composed in her honor. But she has little time for sylvan dal- lying, for the sheep and goats must be milked and the milk must be convert cd into cheese and yiaourti, delicious and wholesome sour Curd, which is in great demand In the towns. When the sheep have been shorn, the wool is bleached and spun, and then knitted and woven into garments for the fam fly or into cloth for sale. The cotton or flax grown on the farm must also be gathered in their seasons, and pre- pared for use. The cotton pods are put through a small hand machine called the mangano, which turns two rollers different ways, and separates the fiber from the seed. The instru- ment next used is the toxevein. large bow made from curved piece of wood five or more feet long, the two ends of which are connected by stout string. The cotton is placed loosely on the string, which is made to vibrate by being struck with a stick, produc- ing not unmusicai sound. This proc ess detaches the particles of cotton, and it is now ready to use as wad- ding for the large quilts, which, with a sheet tackled to the under side, form all the winter bed covering used by the lower orders of natives of every race. The mattresses are also usually stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses with the husks of Indian corn.

"Accordino to HoyIe0

Of the celebrated writer of treatises on games of chance, little is known save that he appears to have been born in 1762, and died in Cavendish square, London, August %, 1769. He wrote on whist, piquet, quadrille and baekgam- mon, and his name became so familiar as to be immortalized in the we'll known proverb, According to Hoyle." He was a barrister by profession, and was at one time register to the prerog- ative court. His treatise on whist, for which he received 1000 pounds sterling, was published in 1743, and gained such popularity as to run through five editions in one year. He has even been called the inventor of the game, but this is mistake, though we are indebted to him for introduc- ing it to the public in a scientific man. ner. Hoyle is said to have given in- structions in the game, especially among the gentlemen who frequented the Crown coffee house, for which his charge was a guinea a lesson.
