Correspondence of ‘The Brealng Star. PATRAS, Greece, September 15," 1806. After the Turks were expelled \from Greece a painting whieh had been buried several hundred years by devout Greek priests, and whose hiding place had. been kept secret for generations, was dug up. It had been buried in a hill in Patras, which commands a fine view of the sea, the mountains and the luxuriant vineyards of the Peleponessus. On ‘this hill was erected a splendid church called Pendanas- sa (Ter Sarappa), or the Church of the Five Wise Virgins. “They supposition is that the secret of the burial place of the valuable painting had been handed’ down through five nuns, who controlled their tongues so well the Turks nor any one else ever suspected the existence of the picture. The church was named in their “honor. Throughout Greece it is believed that this Madonna was painted by St. Luke, who, with St. Andrew and St. Paul, certainly spent a great deal of time in this part of Hellas Moreover, it is claimed that . St. Luke made three coples of this Madonna, and paintings similar to it are in the Mon- astery cf Megaspeleon and in a colivent at Odessa. ‘The fourth is in the sea, for when it was bemg conveyed to a place of safety by the Greeks, to ve buried in the mountains across the Gulf of Patras, the Turks neard about it and chased. the boat. They were about to overtake the Greek: when the captain and the priest in charge of the painting threw it into the sea to avoid its capture by the Mohammedans! I visited the Church of the Five Wise Virgins to have a photograph of this Ma- dona taken for this correspondence, but found it impossible to do so. The paint- ing, excepting the heads of the mother and child, is incased in a thin coating of sil- ver to preserve It. So the reader will have to be content with the best pen picture T can draw. The colors have faded until the Madonna and Child look as dark as Moers, but there is wonderful strength and beauty in the features of both. The duplicates of this Madonna, now. preserved at Megaspeleoh and Odessa, are said to be equally good. And the one which was tossed into the sea, hundreds of years ago, has not been forgotten. Every time incense is offered in the Church of Pendanassa the censer is swung toward the sea to waft a benediction to the Ma- dcrna and Child thrown overboard cen- turfes ago! The main aisle of the church looks out on the blue waters of the gulf and commands a splendid view of the mountains beyond. TI have asked a num- ber of educated Greeks if they really be- lieved St. Luke painted these pictures, and they always replied in the affirmative. They are as firmly convinced of it a8 they ‘are that Praxiteles sculptured the beautiful Hermes at Olympia. In this land of antiquities the Christian era is not regarded as so long ago, and I have handled dolls (made of clay- for Greek children) that are over two thousand years old And I have stood infront of splendid marble statues that were ancient before Christ was born, so I anr not. disposed to be entirely skeptical when a cultured Greek tells me the Madonna F have briefly..de- scribed was painted in the year 70 A.D.! It may be true, and St. Luke may be the: artist! Across the gulf from Patras is Mis- siloughi, where Lord. Byron fought with the Greeks for liberty His heart was taken out and buried in Missiloughi, and his body was embalmed and sent to Eng- land. “A simple monument marks the spot, and every year Americans, English- men and Greeks make pilgrimages to the Fistoric spot. Its location is picturesque in the extreme. It is in low swampy ground, tut is backed by fine mountains and looks out om one side toward’ the Ionian sea, and on.the wther over the Gulf of Patras. The malaria from the low- lands of Missiloughi.:probably -had..more to do with killing Lord Byron than the exertion of organizing the Greek: army to repel the Turks It was here he met and loved the beautifwl Zoe, to whom he addressed one of the best known of his poems. The reading world believes Zoe was a “Maid of Athen: She was not. She was born and bred in Missiloughi, married a Greek from the interior not far from Lepanto, and afterward moved to Athens. Here she lived to be a very ola woman and retained to the last traces of the beauty which charmed the eccentric: but highly gifted Engtish nobleman. I met a number of people who knew Zoe well, and every one agrees that she was very beautiful. Moreover, ft fs sala" that ‘she preserved to the day of her death the au- tograph letters writter her by Lord Byfotr and handed them down as heirlooms to her children, who now live in Athéfs! " Every evening as I watch the sun set be- hind the “mountains and olive groves of Missiloughi I wonder if the: glamor of ro- marce which environs the place makes the sea seem bluer, the mist on the moun- tains a more royal purple, and the rose and gold that flames in the west more brilliant than in America, where we live more in the future. and. less in. the past.

NICKNAMES “FOR MONEY Rar aed el Odd Names Given the Small __Cofas,, Which We Jingle in Our Pockets. From the St. Louls Post-Diapateh. Few people realize that every piece of money has a nickname. It has, however, and some of the names are very odd. The 3100 note nas but cre nickname, but it is. exceedingly appropriate, as well as digni- fied. It needs no more, for there’ are thow- sands in this country who have never seen a note of this denomigation. rene ci Every one has seen.gmal] change, though, and the commonness of this species of money has suggested scores of sobriqueis, appropriate and the reverse, grave and gay, effusively funny ‘and humorously pa- thetic. The “nickel,” asa name, was sug- gested by the common idea, that this mejal €niered largely into the composition of the coin. It is a misnomer, ag the piece: con- sists of 75 per cent of copper and only 25 per cent of the metal which gave it a name. “Car-fares,” a slang. name for the. same Piece, ilustrates the universality of this method of transportation, while “chicken feed” as a name not- only for five-cent pieces, but also for other small change, un- doubtedly came from rural districts. “Flipper-up” suggests a frequetit use to which the nickel is placed in certain cir- cles. “Pennies” and “picayunes” indicate the contempt, more pretended than real, inio which our smallest coins have fallen. The latter name, like “bit,” preserves a morsel of history, not familiar to general readers. “Picayune now used as a synonym for the smallest value expressed in money terms, was once the name of -a special coin. It was worth abut. one-half cent, and at one time, during, the colonial days, when all sorts of coins-paSsed -éurrent at all sorts of valuations, circulate@along the Atlantic coast. fos otturas The “bit,” now only a money .9f account. and most familiar in the. well-known form “two bits,” a synonym fer the twenty-five- cent piece, was also knqgn at ane time as a coin, equal in value to one-half the Span- ish pistareen, and when supplanted by our familiar “quarter,” the name remained long after the coins had disappeared. “Shilling” has now finally disappeared from. use, save along the Canadian border, where prices are frequently made in both kinds of mon- ey, but the “bit” we have still with us. -see—____ Foreigners Lecturing at Princeton. From the New York Evening Post. The lectures by the distinguished repre- sentatives of foreign universities who are delegates to the Princeton college sesqui- centennial begin this week. Prof. Edward Dewden, professor of English literature and rhetoric in Trinity college, Dublin, wili Geliver six lectures on “The French Revo- lution and English Literature.” Prof. An-. @rew Seth, professor of logic and meta- pnysics in the University of Edinburgh, will deliver two lectures on Theism. Prof. Felix Klein of the University of Gottingen will deliver four mathematical lectures, and Prof. Joseph J. Thomson of the University of Cambridge, England, will give four phy- sical lectures. Profs. Karl Brugmann of the University of Leipsic and A. A. W. Hubrecht of the University of Utrecht, Holland, will each deliver one lecture. ‘The attendance of undergraduates on these. lec- tures is restricted to their degree. of ad- vancement in the college’ course, and in some cases is dependent upon the choice of electives, but they are all open to the visiting alumni and other friends of ' the institution. IN-HOTEL CORRIDORS “I have seen the statement that no man could drink half a gallon of brandy a day for more than a very short time,” said John L. Smith of Linden, Va., at Wil- lard’s, “but there is a man-living in the town I reside in who has never missed drinking that much brandy in a day for twenty years. His name is John Hudnall, and he owns a brandy distillery near Lin- den. He has used liquor as a beverage since early youth, and for the past twenty years has consumed half a gallon of bran- dy a day. He is not an inebriate, by any ‘means, not becoming intoxicated by the brandy. He is hale and hearty and stands well in the community where he lives, as a@ business man. No explanation can be given of his remarkable power of with- Standing the effects of liquor, but no one who knows him doubts the statement as to his having drank the amount I have ‘sala. It has not impaired his digestion in the slightest degree, as it is usually claim- ed it will do. The statements going the rounds as to the amount®of brandy that can be used as a beverage by a man re- quire revision.” “A great deal has been written about Irish bulls,” said T. J. O’Donaghue of Knoxville, Tenn., at the National. “I have never been able to understand why the Irish people should make them, but the fact remains that they do. I do not refer to wit, but the mistakes made in speech. I have myself unconsciously per- petrated some of the worst bulls that could well be imagined, and my father, who was one of the best-educated men in Ireland, was constantly guilty of laughable blun- ders. It probably comes from the Irish being excitable and speaking too quickly without stopping to frame sentences. I was at a hotel with Judge McDermott, one of the leading lawyers of Tennessee, when Irish stories were being told. For a time they were confined to wit, which we enjoyed, and then bulls were introduced which did not suit us so-well, and the judge, with a mild brogue interposed. “Gentlemen,” he said, “you must know that half the lies told about the Irish are not true,” and the crowd roared with laughter. “I know a boy who has a peculiar de- fect in his eyesight,” said A. C. Lawrence of Rappahannock county, Virginia, at the Howard. “His name is Eddie Howe, and the story can be substantiated by almost any citizen of my county, as the case is well known in that locality. From birth the boy was supposed to be practically blind, and he was five or six years old before the discovery was made that, while he could not see in daylight, everything being blurred, and his eyes unable to bear the glare, he could see well at night. When the boy was five or six years old his father bought a pair of red-top boots for him and took them into his son's room in the dark, expecting to leave them and have the boy surprised when he felt them, but Eddie said, ‘Oh, father, what pretty boots and copper toes, too.’ ‘As the father could not see the boots, it was so dark, he began to investigate,.and found that the boy could see. The next morning the lad was blind again, and since then a great many oculists have been consulted. None of them have been able to cure the defect or even to determine what caused condition.”” teainesntigs “The position of copy reader on a literary magazine is a hard one,” said 8. A. Gal- lagher of New York, who has had a good deal of experience in that line, at the Raleigh. “In the first place, space is lim- ited, and there seems to be no limit to the contributions offered. It is necessary, ir order to keep up the system and tone of a Magazine, to contract for particular arti- cles from well-known writers, and the amount of matter that can be bought is comparatively very little, not one article in five hundred. Some of the very best arti- cles must be rejected. For instance, a very able paper on a live topic reaches us from an author wholly unknown; at the time another comes from a man whose reputa- tion gives weight to what he says, and whose connection with the magazine will sell thousands of copies. The latter may be much inferior to the former article, but it would be an absurd business policy to print the article that no one would. read and throw away the one which everybody would look eagerly for. An announcement that Howells will have a story sells thous- ands of copies; an announcement that Peter Jones would have a story would not sell one. Magazines are not run pro bono, publico, but in order to make money, and every literary publication declines better matter than it prints on many subjects.” “A fact that is well known to all farm- ers is that the rows of grains on an ear of corn are always even in number,” said A. D. Catlin of Tolorio, Il, at the Metro- politan. “There may be eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or sixteen rows, but never nine, eleven, thirteen or fifteen. This fact and the knowledge of it cost several ‘men in my neighborhood very dearly a few days ago. A farmer who raises a small crop of corn and who kas always been regarded as of rather weak intellect, concluded that he raw a chance to make some bets. Early in the season he carefully scraped from'a dozen ears of corn just formed one of the rows. The corn ripened and the remairing rows grew together, so as to hide ‘the evidence of the one removed ever having existed. Then the farmer of- fered to bet either that the others ould not or that he could find ears of corn with odd rows. He had no trouble in getting some very gocd bets on the latter propcsi- tion, but, of course, none on the first. He then found the ears he had fixed and made as much money on the dozer ears as he did on the entire crop of corn. Now, any sug- gestion of corn with odd rows is prowo- cation for a fight in that reighborhood.' “I met a man in Washington last August who has a remarkable life history,” said C. T. Northup of St. Paul at Willard’s. “He was here et the time of his retire- ment under the age limit. I refer to Capt. C. de Rudio, who now lives in San Dfego, Cal. When twenty years of age he was sentenced to death by guillotine for com- plicity with Oraini in the attempt to as- sassinate Louis Napoleon. His comrade was executed, and before the black cap was adjusted De Rudio asked to be allow- ed to smoke a pipe. Permission was given, and before the tobacco’was consumed an crder arrived ordering the execution post- poned, it coming exactly one minute before the condemned man’s time ‘on earth was to expire. Another trial resulted in his being exiled for life. He came to the United States, served through the civil war, became an officer of the cavalry ard remained in the service until two months ago, when he was retired. His record has been a g20d one, and no officer is hetter known on the Pacific slope.” “Probably the oldest living preacher who is still actively engaged in the ministry is Father Waugh of my town,’ said R. P. Can- non of Sonora, Cal., at the Ebbitt. “He is ninety years of age, and has been in the ministry for seventy years. He was raised in Virginia, and sixty years ago preached in Washington. He edited a religious paper, which was so pronounced in its anti-slavery views that he was compelled to leave Vir- ginia, going to Missouri and taking his pul- pit decidedly into politics during the trou- . blous times of the Missouri compromise dis- cussion. Again, he left, by request, and went overland to Sonora, where he has re- sided ever since. Now, at the age of ninety years, he attends all conferences of the Methodist Church, looking hale and hearty, and feeling, as he says, ‘like a boy.’ He has never used tobacco or liquor in any form, and attributes his remarkable health to that fact. He knows almost all of the In- diana left in southern California personally, and is almost worshiped by them.” “A great deal is being said and written concerning gold fields,” said R. L. Price of San Quentin, Cal, at the Shoreham, “but I have seen no mention of the wonderful de- velopment of the San Fernando copper mines, near my home. And yet they are more valuable than almost any gold field known, being one of the largest, if not the largest, copper mines in the world. “The mines were worked at least a cen- tury before California became a part of the United States, and the copper bells, ultar equipments and crosses found in the old ruins of missions were made from ore that came from Sen Fernando. Until a few months ago there had never been an at- tempt to really explore the mines or to work them by modern methods. A few cop- per_experts obtained control of it and have developed it sufficiently to show that the mines are among the richest in the world, the ore being of fine quality, easily mined and seemingly inexhaustible in quantity.” MAKING ARTIFICIAL EARS. A Delicate Task and ian Expensive Product of Vulcasised Rubber. From the New York Tribune, ? 7° If there is any one brah of scientific manufacturing that would, seem: to have reached perfection within [the last.decade it is the making of artiftfal ears. - Such Perfect reproductions arg? ed out now- adays that they cannot ‘be distinguished, even upon a fairly close, imspection, from the natural ear. Made ofta specially pre- pared rubber, flesh-coloreé in the rough, they are painted by han “in exact imita- tion of the remaining efr’ of the unfor- tunate customer and as arefully “‘touch- ed” and marked over agian artist’s pic- ture. This is necessary, for an artificial ear must be perfect to be‘acceptable, and such careful work pays thé maker, for he gets a hundred dollars aptéte for them. In a certain workshop:‘the other day, where much scientific work is done, there was shown to a Tribune representative a little box some seven or eight inches long, less than ‘two inches broad, and hardly half an inch high. “There's $500 worth of goods in that box,” said the foreman, as he lifted off the cover, displaying five rubber ears lying in cotton. “These are for four different men and one woman—you see that little ear there—and all they need now is for the artist to call for them and touch ‘em up according to little slips we'll give him telling just how the colorings should go on, We studied our customers carefully when we took the orders. ‘A hundred dollars seems a big price, doesn’t it, to pay for a little thing like one of those ears that’s so flexible you can crumple it up in your hand easily? But people that have never made artificial ears have no {dea of the -work that is on them. There fs no guessing about making them. You have to be as exact as if you were carving out a statue. In the first place, when a man comes here to get an ear to replace one he’s iost we take a mold of the ear that is left, and if there is any part of tke other we must get a mold of that, too, so as to be able to fit on the new ear. There are no two ears the same, and it takes our most skilled workmen to get an ear from this mold or pair of molds that ts lifelike and appears to have the color of flesh. “When finished the new ear is pasted on the old sthmp, or simply set precisely where the old ear was, and not one man in a thousand can tell the difference. It is really only the first ear that is expensive. What costs is to make the mold. If a man has his mold with us we will give him duplicate ears for about $20 each. There is one customer on our books hailing from Chicago who buys five ears a year from us, on an average, I don’t know what he does with them all, but he seems to want them. : “The demand, take it altogether, is lim- ited, and I don't suppose we ever turn out more than twenty new ears a year. We have only been -making them up to our present standard a couple of years, by the way. “This vulcanized rubber, that can be bent and twisted experience’ has taught us is the best material to vse. We have ex- perimented with nearly everything. Last summer we tried aluminum, thinking that it would be lighter, but, do our best, the ear turned out far heavier, and, besides, the metal would not lend itself nearly as well as rubber to the imitating of flesh tints. “How do people lose thelr. ears? In two ways, chiefly—in railroad accidents or by getting caught in machinery. The former is by far the more common. ———+ee—> Old-Fashioned Spinning. From the New York Herald.

At every post office there are what are called ‘withdrawal blanks.’ On applica- tion they will be furnisired,<and, when*a deposit is made to coversthe expense, ihe postmaster will telegraph to the postmaster at the letter’s destination.asking that it be promptly returned. .The .applicant first signs this agreement: “it is’ hereby: agreed that, if the letter is.returned to me, I will protect you from aay and all claims made against you for such return, and will fully indemnify you for any loss you may sus- tain by reason of such action. And.I here- with deposit $— te cewer all expenses in- curred and will deliver to you the envelope of the letter returned.” Inmazy bases per- sons have made remittances to fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms, not learning their true character .untjl after the letter has gone, and have succeeded in recalling them. There is an‘instanee where a Kan- sas City merchant had remitted a-dishon- est traveling man a; draft for $175, and by means of a withdrawal rescued the draft just in time, Laughing as Medicin From the San Francisco Argonaut. There is a woman in Milpitas, the victim of several crushing sorrows, who has a novel cure for despondency, indigestion, in- somnia, and kindred Ills. It is unpatented. She determined one day to throw off the glcom which was making life a burden in and about her, and established a rule that she would laugh three times a day, whether occasion presented or not. She trained herself to laugh heartily at the least proyo- cation, and without one would retire to her room and make merrf by herself. Now she !s in excellent health and buoyant spir- its, and lier home has becdme a sunny and delightful abode. Husband, children, nelgh- bors and friends’ were gradually infected with mirth every day, atid now all of them are healthy, happy and oe Raeaiel Clock Hands Stopns¢d, at 16 to 1.

From the Kansas City Star. At Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellowstone park, there is a fence made of elix horns. It incloses the greater part of the grounds of Photographer F. Jay Haynes’ studio, which is distant probably 300 feet from the Mammoth Hot Springs hotel. The fence is composed of over 300 select- ed elk horns. All of them have twelve points and a great many have the royal fourteen points. They were shed in March, and were gathered in June of the same year by Mr. Haynes and three of his men within a radius of ten mfles of Mam. moth Hot Springs and within four days’ time. There are about 2,500 elk in the park Mr. Haynes is always asked what the value of the fence is and his response, a very conservative one, is that each pair of horns would bring $7.5 at Cinnabar, about eight miles, or at least $10 a pair in the east or south. ———_—__+e+___.
