EvELEss EDEN IN GREECE

AcHHStn L. fODeTtS Tn the Saturday Evening Post.
 The steamer waddled on past the barren shores of a few of the widely sung Isles of Greece. as bleak and
 bare and inhospitable looking as the back of an enlarged whale, and crept
 slowly by the symmetrical white mar
 ble cone of Mount Athos, that peculiar stronghold of the Greek church. where for centuries thousands of
 monks have existed. completely re-
 moved from the females of all spe-
 cies with the sole exception of insects
 and birds.
 The monks of Mount Athos have
 never yet been able to issue an edict
 that would be obeyed by the lady 1 fleas, flies and other winged wander
 ers' but lady cats and dogs and horses
 and goats are unknown upon it's si- lent slopes. No COW mellows the twi- light with her ruminative moo and no
 hen roams mussily about the coun-
