MY 'NEIGHBOR.
Mr neighbor is ud aad silent as she waits on
the shore with me
JTor the ships that went -oat hope laden, assail
en a summer sea:
Hie days into months have drifted, until cour
age aad patience fail.
Mot yet hare our eyes been gladdened by the
sight of a sunlit sail. '
Aad 1 must not offer to carrv the burden her
weak arms bear;
The weight that my hands are lifting she may
not offer to sbaret
When pitiless storms sweep shoreward and
skies wear a mask of lead.
Then I must not offer hsr comfort -or shelter
her helpless head.
And I. too. look wearily seaward: I know we
are one in heart.
We pace the wet sands together, but in speech
keep ever apart: -for
1 never speak to my neighbor and she
may not speak to me
Of the ships that we wait together by the shore
of the sobbing sea.
But 1. 1 may sing of courage and of hope till
the watcher's eyes
Look up from the wreck strewn billows to the
light in tne sunset skies:
1 may sing of the tropio ocean, where the sun
shine, full and warm.
Falls over the landlocked harbors, where the
ships outride the storm.
J may sing of noble patience, that can watch
till the day is done.
Till straying ships sail shoreward with their
cargoes, one by one;
And I know I comfort the neighbor who is In.
spiration to me.
While we watch and wait together for the
ships that we sent to sea.

Telepathy Like Electricity.
It was at first seemingly a slight thins;
that a straw or other light body is at
tracted to and will for a tune adhere to
amber or sealin.tr wax or glass which has
undergone brisk friction; yet this was
one of the first stepping stones toward
the discovery of the mysterious agent
which we term electricity, an agent
operating through all matter. . animate
and inanimate, reaching from the earth
so the sun, and probably to the utmost
bounds of the seemingly infinite ether,
and yet not intractable, but lending
itself in most various ways to the service
of man.
So with each new telepathic fact, how
ever seemingly trivial, a higher stand
point is attained, the horizon widens
and there is good reason to believe that
the same laws are at work in regions
widely dissimilar. One may even sus
pect that, like electricity in the material
wtiverse, so this mysterious agent in the
-region or the human mind, whether per
ceptible or not, is still of universal
operation, manifesting itself sometimes
naturally, sometimes under artificially
produced conditions. Blackwood's Mag
azine.
Jockeying Authors.
Apropos of horses. Do you know bow
important good jockeying is to authors?
Judicious management; letting the pub
lic see your animal just enough, not too
much; holding him up hard when the
market is too full of him; letting him out
at just the right buying intervals; al
ways gently feeling his mouth; never
slacking and never jerking the rein
this is what I mean by iockeyinsr. -
When an author has a number of
books out a cunning hand will keep
them all spinning, as Signor Blitz does
his dinner plates, fetching each one up
as it toegina to "wabble" by an advertise
ment, a puff or a quotation.
Whenever the extracts from a living
wnier Degin to multiply fast in the
paper without obvious reason there is a
new book or a new edition coming. The
extracts are ground bait. Oliver Wen

Colloetsep Boxes Not Much Used. -
Collection boxes were at one time used
in many churches. The old style is a
anaiiow open box about seven inches
long by rive wide. It is lined with velvet
and lias a handle attached. Boxes of this
style are still used, but collection boxes
are now generally made circular in form.
They are seven and a half inches in
diameter and two and a half inches in
depth. A plush mat is laid on the bot
tom, and the box is provided with a
handle two feet or three feet long. Such
a box of oak sells for $3.50. Not many
boxes are sold nowadays. New York

A Doe's Love.
The attachment of the dog to man out-

'CABMEN OF OLD ATHENS.
- m - ... -
..... f- "
THEY DIFFER FROM THEIR TRIBE IN
OUR YQUNG AMERICA.
Be Captured by One of Them and You
Mast Ride In His Hack The Others
. Will Not Serve You Annoying Experi
ence of Tourists Horse Cars in Athens.
We were landing at the Piraeus. . Just
as our gig was rowed up to the steps of
the landing place we saw a sturdy look
ing little fellow running with all his
might to get at the top of the steps by
the time we should arrive there. He
was a cabman. He of all the cabmen
had been the first to catch sight of us,
and as there were a dozen other cabmen
on the spot, this was quite a triumph on
his part. . We surrendered ourselves into
his hands therefore with -satisfaction.
for though he was not handsome, being
altogether a most disreputable looking
little ragamuffin, he had shown the pos
session of qualities and we had need of a
cab. ' -, ' ' ' : ' ' r ' -:-:
But when,, following him through a
malodorous crowd, we .arrived at his
vehicle, we were discouraged, for the
vehicle itself. was a dilapidated, ram
shackle, unclean thing, and the two
nags, scarcely larger than goats, were
so bony, mangy and miserable looking
that it seemed cruelty to animals to con
sent to. an arrangement that involved
their dragging about three full grown
persons in addition to - the little driver.
We therefore decided, peremptorily, that
as there was no contract made, we should
not get into that vehicle, but would
choose another to suit ourselves. We de
cided this inside our own heads, but in
so doing we counted without the hosts
of cabmen. , : - '. .
A DISCOVERER'S RIGHTS.
Having selected a good cab, with a
decent pair of horses, and proposed a
bargain to the driver, without regard to
the shrill and continuous clamor of our
little ragamuffin, we found that his elo
quence had more cogency than our offer,
for the driver of the vehicle chosen
would not accept us as his passengers
because we "belonged" to the other man.
He had captured us; had acquired a
right of property in us which all other
cabmen were bound to respect, and every
cabman to. whom we successively ad
dressed ourselves refused us in the same
way. We were boycotted. The cab
men of the Piraeus were one and indi
visible in their determination that we
should make our entry into Greece be
hind the worst pair of horses ever seen,
or otherwise go afoot. If the Greeks
had stood together half . as well in their
dealings with the Turks and other foes
as they did on this occasion against
three peaceful wayfarers, the famous
"dream that Greece might still be free"
might have become a dazzling and mag
nificent reality.
But we had read long before this in a
book by one Plato, called the ''Republic,"
that Socrates and. several other fellows
had one day walked down from Athens
to the Piraeus, and in fact that they had
there talked among themselves the whole
contents of that interesting book, and
we are reasonably sure that as to the
walks and talks of Socrates we are
equal to the walks, at least, and so we
would walk, either with Socrates or with
the melodious Irishman who, when he
did not walk, "rode in chaises." We
walked, therefore, with the Irishman's
alternative objurgation on our tongues.
And as we walked along the awfully
dirty street, with the ships oh one side
and the wretched little 6hops and vile
smelling restaurants on - the other
wretched shops and vile smelling res
taurants having over their doors gran
diloquent signs in Greek, which, though
bad, was good enough to keep in one's
mind the ancient glories as we did all
this, actually passing on the way a mono-,
ment with the head of Themistocles on a
Doric column, one little ragamuffin of a
driver followed us like a pestilent horse
fly, tearing ahead at full speed and halt
ing in front of us and declaiming con
stantly that we were his and that we
were cheating him by refusing to ride.
With what immense energy he would
dash ahead, halt in front of us, get down
and open the door of his cab and appeal
to us to enter. But he appealed to hearts
hardened with silent rage. We were
within a few miles of. the spot where
Desmosthenes said 6avage things at the
roaring sea with pebble stones in his
mouth, and if this fellow could have said
all these things, even if he had practiced
with paving stones in his mouth, he could
not have convinced us. .. .
THE FRIENDLY HOUSE CAB.
Suddenly there came an uhlooked for
solution to this mean little drama. There
appeared upon the scene, here at the
very end of the long walls, that awfully
modern contrivance, a horse car. Now,
as a horse car is presumably the prop
erty of a corporation, and as the great
distinction of a corporation is that it has
no soul, one perceived that - here we
might b free from the immediate con
sequences of the boycott, and we enter
ed the horse car, which, by the way, was
certainly the cleanest vehicle in all that
part of Greece. , '. . J. - -
As soon as we entered the. horse car
we were out of all our trouble, but we
were forced to reflect that we were not
following the great example of Socrates
and to consider that if Socrates had been
able to return to "Athens in-a horse car
this fact would have cut Bhort all that
noble conversation under the trees, and
the world might have been, without its
first great idea of an Utopian state.
' But it is evident that modern institu
tions are having fair play in Greece.
The boycott and the horse car are doing
what they may 'for civilization there,
and other fine things will follow. ' Mean- '
while one sees enough to convince him
as he wanders on the Acropolis that the
very rubbish of the Parthenon is worth
all the rest of Greece as it is, and it be
comes a comfort to know .that history
has pretty-well uroved that the so call- '
ed modern Greeks are not Greeks at all
bus --only descendants of a horde of
wretched Slavs who swarmed in and
settled upon- the land like locusts when -i
war and pestilence together had annihi- i
luted the grander -'race. Athens Cor. j

imples.
The old idea ol 40 years ago was that fads!
eruptions were doe to a "blood humor,' lor
which they gave potash, Thtu all the old Sarsa
parUlas contain potash, a most objectionable and
drastic - mineral, that instead ot '. decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. Tou have no
ticed this when taking other Sarsaparulas than
Joy's. It is however how known that the stom
ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion ot constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pimples. , clean stomach and
healthful digestion purifies it and they disappear.
Thus Joy's Vegetable Sarsunarilla is compounded

stimulate tbo digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast tho acfion of the potash Sarsajiarillas
and Joy's modern vegetable preparation. . Mrs.
C.D. Stuart, of 400 Haves Kt, 8. P., writes: " I
have for years l;ad indigestion, I tried a popular
Sarsaparilla Unt it actually caused more pimples
to break oat on my face. : Hearing that Joy's was
a later preparation and acted differently, I tried
it and tlie pimples immediately disappeared."

A Revelation.
Tew people know that the
bright bluish-green color of
the ordinary teas exposed In
the windows Is not the nat
ural color. Unpleasant as the
fact may be. it is nevertheless
artificial; mineral coloring,
matter being used for this
purpose. The effect is two-;
fold. It not only makes the
tea a bright, shiny green, bat also permits the
as of " off-color " and worthless teas, which,
once under the green cloak, are readily
worked off as a good quality of tea. '
An eminent authority writes on this sub;'
ject: "The manipulation of poor teas, to give,
them a" finer appearance, is carried on extqn- -Ively.
Green teas, being in this country .
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheaper, black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue, tn mcric,
gypsum, and Indigo. Thit method it to gen-.
eral that very little genuine vnrofored green tea
it offered for tale." ' . '
