I GREEK SUPERSTITIQNS^* Some of the Old Mythological Beliefs Still Prevail. "Some of the superstitions of the old mythologic religion still prevail among the peasant classes in Greece," said a native of that country. "Nor are the educated classes without such beliefs, such as that harm ensues from looking at the moon over the right shoulcer. I The belief in the three fates, the evil eye, the vampires and the nereids is general. Dressed in black and appearing as old women, the fates are supposed to come down from Olympus three days after the birth of a child and to hold a meeting to determine its fate. Consequently a table containing many dainties is set out for their invisible enjoyment Especial care is taken lest the old ladies be enraged at not having enough good things to eat "No woman desires to be left alone after her child is born, believing that the ugly old women may become jealous and wreak some awful vengeance. Smut is therefore smeared on the faces of the youngsters so that this jealousy may not become excited.

British War Correspondent Telh of What He Learned From the Wife ol a Reservist Officer?Fortune Made by a Penniless Doctor In the Turkish War. A war correspondent of the London rimes tells as follows how Russian officers are said to escape serving with their regiments at the front: At the heoinnlncr of the 'ramDaicni two commissions were appointed to examine officers and soldiers after their cure and to report as to their fitness for further service. One of the commissions resided in Kharbin and the ither in Chita. They were composed lartly of military surgeons and partly )f officers and had very hard work all die time. The number of reservists vho were refused was about twice as arge as that of the younger soldiers. But a thing which struck me very nuch when I came to know some of ffie results of the commission's proceedings was that the percentage of >fficers refused was nearly twice that >f the soldiers. As I never lived long n Kharbin or In Chita I never had in explanation of this fact until on my tvay back to Europe. I then met a ady who had accompanied her husmnd, a reservist officer going to the var, up to Irkutsk. We traveled in the tame train, and I noted that she did lot look particularly affected by the reparation. "When do you hope to lee your husband?" I asked her once. 1 hope to see him very soon." "How s that? You know that the war will lot end for the present" "Oh, yes, I mow that but my husband will be lack very soon." As I pressed her to et me know how this would be mantged she answered: 'Well, after ail, N1 tell you, for it is no secret Every ? ? ii. U aHU )Hirer imuwB' IV, oxiu. IL vtuj uc^uiu ipon his pecuniary means to avail himlelf of it or not "It is enough to pay 300 or 400 ru)les to the head doctor of the medical commission in Kharbin in order to be ejected. You are then allowed to renain at home one year, after which an-. )ther commission in Enssia examines rou, and there yon have to pay another mm as large as the former, and then rou are free, quite free." I expressed some doubts as to the correctness of hese statements, as it seemed to me mpossible that officers could resort to hese means in order to avoid military lervice, but the lady was positive and cited several names. "Of our acquaintances," she said, "there are three who lave thus succeeded in being sent lome, and one of them advised my msband to do the same, and be named he doctor and the sum to pay." "Well," [ answered, "you must do me one fa7or. When your husband comes home, *111 you please Vet me know?" The laly promised to do so, and a fortnight igo I received the following note: "My msband has just returned; he has been elected on account of disease." That gentleman had been exactly two nonths In Manchuria, just in time to fet the disease, pass through the comnlsslon and return speedily home, iroudly thinking that he had done his luty to his country. I afterward learnsd In Russia that this practice is not a aew one, for during the Turkish war )f 1877 a doctor who was penniless vhen he started for the war was worth it the end of it about ?10/XX) sterling. From the number of his officers rejectid and from what I have beard I think hat the doctor now in Manchuria to vhom the lady alluded promises to beat he record of his confrere.
