THE BALKAN PENINSULA. It Is in West Africa that the personal ‘customs” still survive in all their hor- Thoma* Steven* Write* Abont tlio Creek Peasant Woman —Her Weaknc**. Tfce Greek women impressed me as bcin" the brightest and most intelligent of any in the Balkan peninsula. The 1 peasant wopien arc less employed in the 1 drudgery of field work than either their Servian or Bulgarian sisters. The result of this is a more refined and feminine appearance, which, per se. renders them far more attractive. Besides this, they arc intellectually superior, and almost all are possessed of an elementary educa tion. The Greek damsel understands the art of making herself attractive far better than the Bulgarian maiden does. She is, in fact, a more desirable commodity of the matrimonial market than the latter, from various standpoints; for, in addition to her other charms, her father, instead of requiring purchase money at hpr lover's hands, gives a dowry. She is the object | of a good deal of chivalrous attention from her male relatives, which surrounds her with an additional halo of romance, ^ and suggests to some extent the devotion , and chivalry of ancient Greece. If her ' father be .TYnan of limited fortune, her ! brothers consider it a j>oint of honor to I contribute their own little savings toward j making her marriage portion up to a re spectable sum. Although the Greek peasant woman works less in the fields, this dot's not mean that site is wanting in industrious- ness. If her hands are less employed with the hoe or reaping hook, they are deft enough in weaving and spinning the rude native textures for clothing the family. She also acquires ready expert ness in trimming and training the grape vines, making wine, butter, cheese, and alt the lighter work about the farm. The holiday costume of the Greek peasant woman is picturesque enough, but in one feature at least it seemed to me rather wanting in gracefulness. On her head is worn either a gaudily colored silk kerchief or a small cap, elaborately embroidered or strung with coins. A short, ruLvh looking jacket of green or blue cloth is profusely trimmed with gold braid. Down the hack, and often falling within a foot of the ground, are long, luxuriant black-tresses, usually in two braids. From the waist down her costume is highly suggestive of an inverted balloon. Whether to call the garment skirt or pantaloons was always a question with me. From the waist downward it gets fuller and fuller until it terminates iu the “bulge of the bal loon,” with a hole in either side at the bottom, through which the feet appear. When walking, the “bagginess” of this garment waggles about like the tail of a duck, which few, I believe, have ever thought to he the poetry of motion. The Greek female, charming though she is on general principles, and, more over. a devoted wife and mother, has her little weaknesses. The women that chatted and laughed and showed their rows of pearly teeth to me were nearly all addicted to the use of the cigarette. The way they glanced over one another's apparel also led me to believe them vain and envious of their neighbor’s superior, or fanciedly superior clothes. This I subsequently learned to be a pronounced trait of their character. Their love of finery, of outshining their neighbors and acquaintances in georgeousness of ap parel. is one of their strongest ambitions. Few Greek women are so poor hut that they manage to keep one costume, made gorgeous with gold tln-ead and elaborate embroidery, to appear in on gala days or when visiting the city. The enterpris ing Greek maiden, away off in some ob scure agricultural community, manages somehow to keep herself informed of city fashions, and, after a manner, to follow them. — Thomas Stevens in j. Woman. ror. Again and again an English trader Something Abont the Discovery of Sex in Plants and Its Importance. In its wjld and native state the date palm fi rms a tall and gracious - tree of stately aspect, inferior in beauty, it is €e<;«I Hotices. Letters of Dismission. or traveler has had to look on these “cus- ^ rue » to cocoanut, and still more to toms.” but the horrors were never fully described until 1873, when the German missionaries, Bounat, Kueline and Ram- seyer, were prisoners in Coomassie at the time of the native crown prince’s death. As soon as he was seen to be dying the executioners began to 6cour the streets for victims. When they caught any one two of them would come behind and each thrust a knife through the cheek, the blades passing over tiie tongue and a handle sticking out on each 6ide. This is to prevent the poor creature from “swearing on the life of the king,” that is, swearing that if he dies the king must die too, in which case, instead of being killed, he would not only be spared, but ranked among the “okra” courtiers, whose life depends on that of the king, | and who—killed w hen he dies—hold till his death places of trust and honor. Besides those thus caught every chief had to offer a victim; hut the number was chiefly made up of slaves and pris oners of war. Tlie wives—painted white j and covered with gold ornaments—sat i ar<nmd the coffin, flapping off the flies. They were strangled at the funeral. So were six pages, who. similarly painted | and adorned, sat by the dead man. They had known their fate some days before, but none ran away save three wives of low birth, whose places were at once supplied by girls. For nine days the slaughter went on, the people fasting, with shaven 1 leads and bodies painted red, but drinking all the more. Aid this death wake was to he repeated forty days after. Wien a king dies the victims are slain at the rate of 200 a week for tliree months. But there have been “greater customs” than these. A king’s mother died in 1810; her son slaughtered 3,000 people, 2,000 being prisoners just cap tured from the Fantis. To make up the tale, every big Ashantee town had to give up 100, every smaller town ten victims. A royal burial is in this wise: At the bottom of a huge grave tire laid the heads of the slain; on them the coffin rests. Then just before the earth is thrown in one of the bystanders—a freeman, if of some rank so much the better—is sud denly cluhlied, a gash made in the back of his neck and he is roiled in upon the coffin. The idea is to send along with the crowd of slaves and prisoners some one who shall look after them as a ghostly “major domo.” For a king there remains yet another “custom.” At the end of thirty moons tho grave is opened, the royal tones fas tened together with gold wire and the skeleton placed in a long building divided into cells, the doorways to which are hung with silk curtains. Then on his birthday the king of Ashan tee goes early, to the house of the royal dead. Every skeleton is taken from its richly ornamented coffin, where it has lain surrounded by the things which had been most pleasing to it in life, and is placed on a chair to welcome its visitor. As the king enters each cell with a meat ibe mountain cabbage palm, but, with the usual high and slender stem of all its class, surmounted at the top by a tuft or rosette of spreading feathery pinnate leaves, deep green in hue, and from nine to twelve feet long in well grown specimens. There are some very fine ones, well known to most European tour ists, in the gardens and courtyards of Algiers ami Oran. In height they some times reach as much as eighty feet near running water; and as they live and bear seed for 200 years, the follower of the prophet who plants a date pahn may in deed be regarded as latoriuz for {osterity. The trees begin to toar fruit at seven years old, produce abundantly at twenty,, and go on supplying his children’s chil dren far on into a second century. The most interesting item about the date palm, however, is the fact that it was the first sjiecies in which the dis tinction of sex in plants was ev^r noticed. As long ago as the days of Herodotus, and doubtless dozens of centuries earlier, the Egyptians and Babylonians knew that the*dates could only to fully set by hanging the clusters of male flowers where their pollen could fall upou the female blossoms and impregnate the ovaries. As usual, this hit of abstract knowledge was earliest acquired where it brought itself to bear upon the universal subject of human sympathy,, the ques tion of dinner. Your countryman who knows all other fungi merely in the lump by the common name of toadstools can discriminate as accurately as a trained fungologist the edible mushroom from all inferior species. Your epicure with the vaguest views as to slugs and snails can safely be trusted, not only to identify that familiar bivalve, Ostrea edulis, but even to distinguish between 9nch minor varieties as the Portuguese and the Whitstable native, the Blue Point and the genuine Saddle Rock. And so, too, the distinction of male and female in the date palm forced itself violently upon the attention of hungry humanity ages before Linnaeus had demonstrated the functions of pollen or the arrangements of sexes in the rose and the buttercup. Most plants, as all the world now knows, have the stamens, which produce the pollen, and the pistil, which contains the embryonic seeds, inclosed in one and the same blossom; though even m such cases provision is usually made for cross fertilization by tho agency of insects, either because the stamens and pistils do not both mature simultaneously, or be cause the pollen is so arranged as never to fall naturally upon the sensitive stigma of the unripe capsule. But in a few plants—as, for example, in tho common begonia and in box and pellitory—the male and female flowers are quite dis tinct, though both grow upon the same stem; and in yet otliers, like the red campion, the hop, and the hautboy straw berry, one plant will produce nothing but barren or stamen bearing flowers, while another will produce only fertile or -fruit bearing blossoms.
