To the Greek peasant girl is com- mitted the ‘care of her father’s flock, which she must lead every day to the pasture and fold at night. The vosko- poula, or shepherdess, is one of the most prominent characters in rural folk song, and many a charming ‘idy) has been composed in her honor. . . ." But she has little time for sylvan dal- lying, for the sheep and goats must be milked, andthe milk must be convert- ed into cheese and yiaourtl, a delicious and wholesome sour curd, which is ip great demand tn the towns, When the sheep have been shorn, the wool is bleached and spun, and then knitted and woven into garments for the fam- ily or into eloth for sale. The cotton or flax grown on-the farm must also be gathered in their seasons, and pre- pared for use. The cotton pods are put through a «@mall hand machine called the mangano, which turns two rollers different ways, and separates the fiber from the seed. The instru- ment next used is the toxevein, a large bow made from a curved piece of wood five or more feet long, the two ends of which are connected by a stout string. The cotton is placed loosely on the string, which is made to vibrate by being struck with a stick, produc- ing a not unmusical sound. This proc- ess’ detaches the particles of cotton, and it is now ready to use as wad- ding for the large quilts, which, with a sheet tacked to the under side, form all the winter bed covering used by the lower orders of natives of every race, The mattresses are also usually stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses with¢he husks of Indian corn, Down to Earth, Mrs. Peavish says that before they were married Mr. Peavish liked to hear her sing “Home, Sweet Home,” and now he likes to hear her rattle dishes on the table.—Galveston News, Only One Town.
