,LGiT FOR I, COO YEARS.
A Great Find of the Highly
Prise
Theasallan Marble.
The quarries from which the ancients
obtained their highly-prized Thesnalian
or verd marble have (been discovered
and are again being worked by an Eng
lish company, says the Philadelphia
Becord. The quarries, which have been
lost for more than 1,000 years, are in
the neighborhood of Larissa, in Thes
saly, Greece. The ancient workings are
very extensive, there, being no fewer
than ten quarries, each producing a
'Somewhat different description of mar-
Me, proving without a doubt that every
variety of this marble found in the
mined palaces and churches of Rome
and Constantinople and likewise in aU
the mosques and museums of the world
came originally from these quarries.
In fact, the very quarry from which the
famous monoliths of St. Sophia, Con
stantinople, were obtained can be iden
tified with absolute certainty by the
matrices from which they were ex
tracted.
In modern times verd aritico marble
has only been obtainable by the destruc
tion of some ancient work, and it has,
naturally, commanded extraordinarily
High prices. As a consequence, a num
ber of ordinary modern greens of Greek,
French, Italian and American origin
have been described and sold as verd
antique marble. No one, however, who
is really acquainted with the distinctive
character of the genuine material could
be deceived by these inferior marbles.
Thessalian green is easily distinguished
from any other jfreen marble by the fol
lowing characteristics: It is a "brec
cia" of angular fragments of light and
dark green, with pure statuary white,
the whole being cemented together with
a brighter green, while the snow-white
patches usually have their edges tinted
off with a delicate fibrous green, radiat
ing to the center of the white. The ce
menting material is also of the same
fibrous character.
QUEEN'S JUBILEE PENANCE.
Subjects Who Will Send Her Majesty
Their Photographs.
Some weeks ago we protested strong
ly against the proposal that cards of
congratulation should be showered
upon the queen from subjects person
ally unknown to her majesty during the
approaching celebration, says the Lon
don Times. We pointed out that the fa
tigues of this period for all members
of the court will be quite trying enough
without any addition to them in the
shape of thousands, possibly millions,
of extra letters being delivered at the
royal residences and requiring atten
tion. Since then it has been announced
that all communications intended foi
her majesty in connection with the dia
mond jubilee must be forwarded
through the secretary of state,' but in
spite of this a firm of photographers,
showing more enterprise than good
sense, revived the unfortunate sugges
tion mentioned above. They have sent
us a specimen of a card they are issu
ing, bearing the words: "With heartfelt
wishes for your most gracious majesty's
royal subject," and with a space for the
sender's photograph, which, of course,,
is to be taken by the firm. Perhaps
the surest means of dissuading any who
might be inclined to make use of so
unseasonable a form of felicitating her
majesty on an event of which she knows
all her subjects are proud is to point
out that their cards are not at all like
ly to get any nearer the queen than the
home office in Whitehall. i
SUBDUED THE HORSE.
Cen. Grant as aCadet Displayed Quali
ties Conspicuous in Later Days.
The following "story was told by Col.
Green, a classmate of Gen. U. S. Grant
at West Point, says the American Horse
Breeder:
"One day when the members of
Grant's class were called out for drill
on horseback there were not horses
enough by one to go round. Grant was
one of the shortest men in his class,
consequently was on the extreme left
of the company, and he was the one
' for whom there was bo horse. The
officer ordered a horse brought, which
was done. The animal was a vicious
brute, which had proved so unman
ageable' that he had been discarded.
The officer in charge did not,notice the
horse until just as young Grant vault
ed into the saddle, when, horror-stricken,
he ordered him to dismount. The
horse did his part to assist the rider to
obey the order, but Grant drove his
spars into the sides of the infuriated,
plunging, kicking,. bolting brute, and
guided him into an open field, where he
gave such an exhibition . of amateur
horsemanship as no member of that
class had ever before witnessed. Be
fore the contest was ended the horse
was thoroughly subdued and from that
time became a useful, .obedient animaL
but it was always ridden by Grant."
Names of Cities.
- Old Paris was formerly called by its
Rdman inhabitants Lutetia, meaning
"Mudtown." London derives its name
from the old fortified hill of the Brit
ons, standing where St. Paul's cathe
dral now is. Dublin means the "black
pool," and Liverpool "the pool of the
living ereatnrps " TInmp is - lenltl
mean "the cross roads," and Berlin is
variously translated as meaning "the
short lake," "the free and open place,"
"the river . island" and "the marshy
Spot." Pernambuco means "the
mouth of hell," Bombay "good boy,"
while Cairo is a corruption of "El
Kahirah. the victorious."

Dangers
of Isolated Carriages to
England.
Offer Opportunities for Thieves and
Murderers to Commit Crime
The American System
la Preferred. ' ,
The arguments in favor of the 'cor
ridor" or "American" system of travel
ing for general railway passengers in
England every day grows more em
phatic and incontrovertible The
newspapers contain almost daily ac
counts of awful. murders or attempts to
murder by persons usually unknown,
who have made good their escape from
the little isolated carriages and' left
their victims to be "discovered" in
some casual fashion. Only a few days
ago another horrible tragedy, that
might have occurred to anybody in the
same situation, took place during the
short railway ride of not more than 20
minutes between Hounslow station and
the great London terminus, Waterloo.
A woman, a barmaid from a tavern
close to the Hounslow station, got into
a carriage alone, and her body was
found on the arrival of the train'at Wa
terloo stuffed under a seat, the head
horribly battered. She had started out
to meet her lover, and in the train must
have been attacked and murdered by
some brute, whose identity up to the
present is undiscovered.
The horror of the thing must appeal
strongly to every woman who has ever
been in London or is acquainted with
the English method of travel. The up
permost object of the ordinary man or
woman who travels a long or short dis
tance is to sret into a carriage alone. In
the smail, cramped compartments you
feel in too close quarters to wantfto be
bothered with strangers, therefore
you naturally do your best to get into
a carnage where you won i oe vor-
ried." But recent dreadful events have
made people nervous of the lonely car
riage. Women shun it because
of awful stones of violence and
deaths that have come unawares
upon some poor soul who has
set out in good health and spirits, while
men shun it because of the Btones of
blackmail and slander of which unprin
cipled women frequently make them
the victims. The days of the old Eng
lish "compartments" are, indeed, num
bered, and it will not be long, I am sure,
before "American trains" are the rule
on every line in the kingdom. . ' '
Traveling in England is very expen
sive work, at any rate. The fares be
ing divided into three classes, the very
poorest and meanest, accommodations,
which they call "third class," cost about
the. same rate which in Aniern-a is
charged for the ordinary train. If you
have a third-class ticket, however, you
cannot buy a Pullman car-ticket. To
be entitled to purchase superior ac
commodation of this kind vou must nri-'
marily invest in a "first-class" ticket.
which costs throe times the amount of
a third-class, and not until then are you
allowed to buy Pullman car accommo
dations. If you are going for a long
journey, (or as on a one ns you can
take in England) this makes the cost
about four times the amount you would
pay if a-ou did not have a luxurious soul
ana long lor springs ana cushions.
I hear, however, that to meet the de
mand of the vast body of Americans
who are .ooTning over here for the
diamond jubilee," there is to be a
lomplete bouleversement of the - train
service in Great Britain, ar?d cars such
as we are accustomed to in the states
andriees to match, will be one cf the
white stones tr.arking the latter glo
ries of her majesty's sixtieth year upon
the throne. Chicago Times-Herald.
DANGERS OF NERVES.
By W hich the Women of To-Day Arc
Beset.
It used to be a matter of faith, years
ago, that we possessed nerves, for we
were unconscious of them. Nowadays
however, they have become of most
vital importance; they are, so to speak,
"household pets." It seems that "tem
per" has gone out of fashion; so far. at
least, as we are concerned, and, though
it is possible to admit that our neigh
bors may suffer from attacks of temper,
we never do no, -we have "nerves."
There is a sort of necessary dignity
about the possession of nerves, though
we own they cause us trouble. We
speak in quite a reproachful way of "a
woman who has no nerves, just as if
this meant the same as that she is with
out refinement and tenderness. ' '
Nerves are, however, dangerous pets,
for they are apt to become our masters.
Indeed, to nerves are ascribed the un
wholesome craving for excitement, the
morphia habit and the excessive use
of stimulants among women, as well as
a variety of other evils.'. Nerves, no
doubt, would be kept in check better if
only we were simpler. Japanese wom
en are charmingly serene end . good
tempered, and their freedom from nerv
ous troubles may be largely ascribed
to the absence of small worries in mat
ters domestic. They .are saved worries
about dress, for the fashion of their
costume never varies, and the absence
of draperies and crowds of ornaments
economizes money nnd' greatly saves
labor, as any housekeeper could tell
who knows the fret and irritation of
keeping these things pretty and. free
from dust In an "under servanted".es
