Among the stories told cf one of the

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

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

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. In the Chas
sagne photograph the tinting follows
tlie lines with such precision as shows
the importance of the discovery or the
cleverness of the fraud. Opinion seeing
to favor the first. Be-cqne-rel, some half
century ago, succeeded in fixing tempo
rarily upon the photographic plates the
colors of the sjiectrum. The question
was then raised whether it is possible
that a color may, under certain circum
stances, actually create a pigment of its
own tint out of a "chemical precipita
tion of material taking place under its
own influence." Until M. Chassagne
may be able to reveal the nature of hi
pecre solution speculation may remain

ond resolution at a meeting in honor of
Edward Jenner, said that be would, in
the first place, correct a mistake into
which he had inadvertently fallen iu
his address to the British association.
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

some of them may be just as bad as any

An Easy Thin?.
From tlie San Kranci-o Post.
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

expenses every trip on that trick, fori

Useful Hints.
From tlif" J'lilla l!-:il U ll-virJ.
The cellar biioulel le kept as clean
and dry ami well ventilated as any
other part of the house.
The air which Is breathed in (he fiivt
and secom! storles of a heue U In n i
small decree eiinjiose-d of tlie ntiiio-
plitTe in the cellar.
Cleanliness, fresh air and sun-iliine
are the lct purifier and disinfectant
of our houses.
The location size mid ventilation of
bedmetms is ef far greater imjiortance?
than of the other rxnn of a Iioum.
In fact, no one can maintain a high
standard of health unless he breathes
uiientaminated air into the lungs,
whether awake or asleep.
Only in the middle of oppressive
summer days should the fullest day
light be shut out of our living rooms.
Anel before dedng so, even then a cur
rent of fresh air aud the full rays of the
sun should permeate to the furthest
corner of every roeiuu
If the kitchen has constant vcuti
lion put the shade fixtures four iuedies
below the top of the sash. This allows
the shade to be lowered without prevent-
ing the escape of heated aud impure
air.
Large newspapers are lietter than
heavy woolen blankets for excluding
the air from ice, or a pitcher of lee
water.
Avoid the risk of adding ice to drink
ing water by constantly keeping glass
fruit jars filled with water lu the ice
chest
Aeld two or three tablespoonfuls of
kerosene to the water in which paint
ed or stained floors are washeel. It
will drive away flies aa well as give a
fine polish.
If a clothes cleiset Is Infested with
carpet bugs, humor their prefercnoe
fer bright-coleired woolen by ke-eping
pien-es of reel ll.uinel on the llesir; ex
amine and slaughter once a week,
and your clothing is comparatively
safe.
Curious Rise and Fall in the Sea.
A curieius phenejMietion was recently
witnessed in the western part of the
Mediterranean. During several hours
the level of the sea fell aud rose nieire
than three feet at regular intervals of
ten minutes. This phcneiineiioii is
analogous to that observed tluring the
earthquake at Krakateia. A similar
disturbance was noticcel at Toulon en
the same day, but the oscillations there
Listed 20 minutes, the-re leirig 10 initi

was douMle-sMy the result of either an
earthepiake er a seismic disturbance on

It isn't a question of muscle and
sinew, but of resistance and

the risk of lung disease. Loss
of flesh and a cough are threat

of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypo
phosphites, meets these cases
perfectly. It tones up, fattens
and strengthens.
In Scott's Emulsion the taste
of the oil is fully disguised,
making it almost as palatabb

Cured Me.
For 2 years or more I have had n fearful

weaild nut carry me any more. Couldn't walk
a stretch of l.i yards,aud my heart would heat
at a fearful rule at the bust exertion. It Keciu.

came pale as eme dead. I was no earthly use
to any one, and all my neighbor and rela

and lo-diiT, I am happy to state, that I am
