them that they abandoned the coverlet 
with disgust. 
At Lebadea we found ' that the 
streams so celebrated in ancient song 
and story, Mnemosyne (memory) and 
Lethe (forgetfulness) one cold, the 
other hot, were harnessed to the water 
wheels of two mills, and so the icono- 
clastic work went on. 
A FTER traversing the plains of 
Bceotia for several hours we ar- 
rived at Thebes, the birthplace of 
Hercules, and one of the most famous 
cities of ancient Greece, but its glory 
had departed, and we journeyed on for 
fifty miles further when we again ar- 
rived at Athens. Although a little 
dusty at times over the limestone roads 
and the dry beds of mountain streams, 
we greatly enjoyed the journey by pack 
train. 
The little mules were shod with thin 
plates of iron, pointed at the toe, which 
they dug into the rocks of mountain 
roads and climbed like goats. At sun- 
rise or sunset, the peasants hurrying to 
their terraced fields, or returning home- 
ward, accompanied by their mules and 
goats, with the ascending or declining 
sun seen over the mountain peaks, with 
the crimson of dawn or the golden 
tints of the gloaming were sights that 
are indelibly fixed on memory’s mirror. 
And the singing and merriment of the 
swains, and the rippling laughter of the 
matrons and maidens as they tripped 
along, with the ever present distaff and 
spindle, will never be forgotten. 
A gratifying fact made apparent dur- 
ing our journey through the interior of 
Greece was that, notwithstanding the 
people of Greece were subject to the 
rule and domination of the Turks for 
four centuries, there was no evidence 
anywhere of the slightest trace or taint 
of Moslem influence. That domination 
had left no impress on their morals or 
manners, customs or costumes, lan- 
guage, politics or religion, but had ce- 
mented the different provinces into a 
great and glorious nation that at the | 
present day seems likely to extend its 
sway over Turkey, a consummation de- 
voutly to be wished.

• fallen beam and I saw something 
move. At first it looked to me like a 
log, but I discovered it was a huge fish 
of some kind. I offered a juicy worm 
to it, but it remained indifferent. See- 
ing some red berries on a wild rose 
bush, I plucked one, put it on the hook, 
and sunk it near the fallen beam. Like 
a flash the fish darted after it, and the 
struggle began at once. The log upon 
which I stood suddenly gave way, and 
I plunged headlong into the water. The 
fall broke my bamboo pole. For an in- 
stant the broken piece of the pole with 
the line holding the fish disappeared 
and I thought my game was lost, but 
in another instant it came up to the 
surface. Like a hyena after its prey 
I rushed after it. When I succeeded 
in grabbing it, the fish made a fearful
