King George of Greece, is one which details the trouble that on one occasion grew ont of bis passion for athletic sports. The king, in the earlier years cf his reign, often participated in the feats of running and leaping of which his coun trymen are so fond. In order to conceal his identity he entered tlie contests un der the name of George Papadopoulos. lie was an excellent athlete tall, strong and nimble and won many of the con tests. He proudly cherishes the cups and other trophies which bo won in tbwe games, all of which bear the mime, of George Papadopoulos. Bat his appear ance in them, as an unknown and con sequently mysterious personage, bad its disadvantages. In a certain amateur contest be was accused ef being a pro fessional. As "George Papadopoulos" naturally could not give a satisfactory account of Lis identity and antecedents, the crowd became convinced that lie really was a professional. The Greeks are hot blood ed, and L Papadopoulos was greatly in danger of receiving ronh treatment. Iu this emergency he confessed his identi ty, not to the crowd, but to a police cdGoer, who man.tyd to get him away to a place of safety without permitting the crowd to discover that they had been threatening their sovereign. As a reward for his cleverness the po lice officer received a military appoint ment and has now reached the rani of colonel. Youth's Companion. Light la Photography. M. Chassagne discovered that "light is, according to its color, able to produce a specific physical change by virtue of which each part cf the photograph is able, when iniuiereed iu a bath of dye, to absorb the dye just in those parts of the picture where the corresponding tint originally fell. " If this is true, a red tiled roof in a landxcafe, when photo graphed by means of properly prepared films, would be able to so uffect the part where its image had fallen that when the whole photograph is placed in red dye the dye stains that part of the pic ture and none of the other.

Until M. Chassagne may be able to reveal the nature of hi pecre solution speculation may remain wide of the mark. Baiminc No Bisk.

The sub jects usually selected for examination are from uucient poetry aud classics as follows: I. Long word poetry of seven words. 2. ir'hort word poetry of six words. 3. Problems iu classics. 4. Clearing up doubts iu classics. 5. Criti cising famous men of olden times. 6. Considering what system cf morality is best to correct or modify bad customs. 7. Suggesting what kind of military organization is Lest to defend aud con trol the country. In these various exam inations it is claimed that pe try reveals one's nature; that problems in classics show one's knowledge; that clearing np doubts iu classics demonstrate one's powers of decision; that criticising fa mous men indicates one's knowledge of persons; that judging of the best system of morality and deciding as to the Lest kind of military organization displays one's mental attributes.

He bad said iu error that owing to tbo compulsory re'vacvination of recruits smallpox was unknown in the huge German "army. "A great parade had lieen made of correcting this statement If he had said that fatal smallpox was un known in the Ge-rnian army it would have been tlie literal truth. In the pe riod from 1854-5 to 1886-7 the only death from smallpox among German soldiers was tbat of a man who was shown not to have been prope rly vac cinated. In 188G-7 there were seven cases of smallpox, in 18K5-6 four cases, and as these occurred among a force of 344,000 men, aud as the figures cf other ye ars were similar, it might be said tbat though he had fallen into error it was not a serious error. He the n proceeded to analyze some cf the statistics queited against other ob servations he had made in his address to the British association and show that after 1834, when rovaccinatioii of re cruits was rendered conipnlsory, there had be-e u a remarkable and rapid de cline in the number of deaths from smallpox hi the German army; that even during the Franco-Prussian war, when the reservists, in some of whom the pro-tee-tion affoiued by vaccination might well be suppesed iu some cases to have worn itself out, were called out though there was an increase in the mortality from smallpox, it was slight, almost in significant as compared with the rav age's the disease committed in the French army, in which revacciuatiou was not compulsory.

An uncouth old ranger from the San Joaquiu Valley was making his weekly trip to Stockton the other day, and chanced to be sitting with an imperti nent drummer in the smoking car. Tlie old man helped himself to the matches from the railroad box and tried to strike one and then another. "Oh, I guess I kin strike a match," replied the rancher, as lie ripped one across a varnished panel of the car and broke off the head. The drummer laughed at his failure and gave him some more information. "The only way to light ihose matches is to strike them on the box," said he. "Oh, I gue-ss I kin scratch' em most anywheres," and the old man tried one on the sole of bis she, another on the arm of the seat, aue! still another on the car lloeir, while the drummer only laughed. "I tell you they are made so that they won't light unless you scratch them on the box." "Bet you they wilL" "I'll betl they won't" "Bet you m they will." "I'll take it" The wager was mvle, the old man toek one of the matches, stood up, and, hitching his trousers up so as to make a smooth surface over his broad thigh, gave the match a delilierate scratch and it blazed up. Then he deliberately lighted his pipe and drew down the stakes. The smart drummer docs not know that the innocent old rancher pays his expenses every trip on that trick, fori he has the side of a match box sewed ! n his trousers beneath the tail of his Jeing, shiny coat All Arouad the Farm.

The smaller kinds of celery, If epiie-k-ly grown, have a sweet, nutty flavor that makes them superieir to the giant varieties that once were mest in de mand. There are places where the biggest bunches still sell the best, but to customers who are used to celery the dwurf varieties that are known to be superior in flavor have the prefer erence.
