Nothing strikes a visitor to the Black mountain more forcioly than the per fect security of a country where every man Is a warrior and goes about his daily business with his revolver in his belt. The traveler is sacred to the Montenegrins, whose manners prove the truth of the. saying that they are the aristocracy of the Servian race. Dressed in their picturesque national garb of blue knickerbockers, white gai ters and crimson jackets, with pork pie caps of scarlet and black on their heads, the mountaineers look the beau ideal of a nation of fighters, such as the old Greeks must have been in the days when they all carried arms. Their whole history during the five centuries of Montenegrin independence has been one long series of frontier fends. :nd even now guerrilla warfare on the Al banian border is not extinct. But t0 the stranger within their gates, what ever be his nationality, the mountain eers are friendly and hospitable. Westminster Review. The Stars and Stripes. A German periodical has the follow. lig story as to the origin of the stars and stripes: The idea originated with a Dane named Marker. lie was born on the island of St. Croix of the Dani.h West Indies, where his father and grandfather had lived. In 1795 he left his native island and proceeded to Phil adelphia. He was among the first to join a company of volunteers for American liberty and independence. For valor shown at Oriskany he was elected captain, and to show his grati tude he designed a flag in whose upper corner he applied the thirteen stars emblematic of the thirteen original states of the Union. This was the first occasion. upon which the "star span gled banner" was unfurled. The origi nal flag of Captain Marker Is supposed to be in existence in some national col lection of relies of the war of the Revo lution. Hats In Parliament. During the reign of King John (1109) the king agreed to settle the difficulty with Philip II. of France respecting the Dutchy of Normandy by single com bat. John, earl of Ulster, was the English champion, and as soon as he appeared on the field of combat his adversary put spurs to his horse and I fled, leaving the earl master of the field. King John asked the earl what his reward should be. "Titles and land I want not," he replied, "but In remem brance of this day I beg the boon, for myself and my successors, to remain covered In the presence of your majes ty and all other sovereigns of this realm." This request was granted and never revoked, and it is said to account for the custom In parliament of mem bers wearing their hats.-London Stand ard. Webster as a Farmer. 'Webster was a scientific farmer. He believed thoroughly in the value of blooded stock. At Marshfield he had a herd of sixty or eighty head of cattle composed entirely of thoroughbred an !mals-of Alderneys, Ayrshires and Devons. He had several yoke of Dev on oxen, which were his particular pride. Besides, there were blooded sheep and swine. All in all, Webster was considered by his neighbors the best farmer of the country. He was, moreover, a friend generous and con siderate. There used to be .a saying down Plymouth way that a stranger could always tell when Webster was at home by the. cheerful looks of the peo pe for ten miles around.--Oliver Bron son Capen in Country Life In America. Roman Lamps. Roman lamps were of many 'sizes,: but most of them very closely resem-I bled what Is at present denominated a sauce or gravy boat. At one end there was a ring, through which the finger wa passed when the light was carried. The body of the vessel was filled with oil, and at the other end there was a small tube, through which a rag wick was passed. When this was lighted the smoke and odor of the rancid fat em ployed were extremely offensive. Many Roman poets mention the abominable etluvium sent out by the lamps at the feasts. A South African Name. The hardy Boer voortrekkers had a fine sense of poetry In naming places In South Africa. In the Transvaal there Is a place which rejoices in the name of Waachteenbeliebeldebasch fontein. "It is a name," says a Cape Town exchange, "which speaks of lei sure, whose gentle invitation to the thi'sty traveler to rest a little by the brook beneath the cool shade of the tree calls up at once the thought of a green oasis in a dry and barren land." Mmne. de Maintenon. O1.:e when Mine. de Maintenon, who ha'i risen from the gutter to grandeur, wvas looking pensively in the golden pool at Versailles her companion, not Ing the fish in the crystal water, ob served, "How languid the carp are."t "Yes," replied the famous beauty, with a sigh, "they are like me; they miss their mud." Man's Helpmneet.I She was not made out of his head to top him, not out of his feet to be tram pled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected and near his heart to be loved.-Matthew Henry. Not Traveling Inlcognito - "Miss Smiley Is going to tae n der an assumed name." "You surprise me!" "Yes; she is going to be married next week and start on her honeymoon." To be sure that you are right is proper, certainly, but also be sure when you are right to go ahead.-Katn sas City Star. An Evena Temper. "And what Is your ground for ex pecting to secure a divorce?" "My husband doesn't love me any more." "How do you know?" "He said he didn't love me when my temper was bad." "But that doesn't prove that he doesn't love you any more." "Yes, it does." - Cleveland Plain Dealer. Always on the Watch. Children have ears like~the very spies of nature Itself-eyes that penetrate all subterfuge and pretense. It is good to set before them the loftiest Ideals that have lived In human reality, but the best ideal of all has to pe portrayed by parents in the realities of home life at home. When you are not watching and the children are--that is when the lessons are learned for life. Keys of bronze and Iron have been found in Greece and Italy dating from at least the seventh century before Thirty Dollars a Word. A poet and literary man of some ce lebrity was visited In his study one morning by a manager of a lecture bu reau, who said that he had called to ask the writer to take part in an en tertainment. "We want you to read selections from your own works, Mr. Gillespie, together with an original poem com posed expressly for the occasion. Name your own price. We'll announce in the progr'm"-' "My price," interrupted Mr. Gillespie, 'will be $60." "Isn't that a little steep?" "Not at all, everything considered." The manager tried to beat him down to $50. but he was immovable, and the bargain was finally closed at the' first named figure. "Alpheus." said Mrs. Gillespie after the caller had gone, "wasn't that more than you intended to charge him when he first spoke?" "Yes," he said: "it's just twice as much. But lie irritated me thirty dol lars' worth by calling it 'progr'm.'" What.Gave the Earfr Its Motion? You have often a:iked or had the question asked of you, *'What gave the earth its daily motion, and how is the' force of that motion kept up?" but have never been really satisfied with the an swer given or the reasons therefor which you were able to advance in ex planation. The astronomers are not even agreed upon this question. Some of them claim that the "original initial centrifugal force" was directed in a line slightly to one side of the center of the globe, which would, of course, cause the earth to rotate upon its axis, and by the law of Inertia of matter must continue to revolve at a uniform rate of speed. This "law of the inertia of matter" Is to the effect that matter once set in motion must continue to move until arrested by some outside force. Others claim that the motion is a "compound resultant of the motion of the earth in its orbit and the attraction of the sun." How a Wound Heals. If you have run a pin into your thumb or received a bayonet thrust precisely the same thing takes place. A myriad of white corpuscles, those tiny "first aid" cells (the phagocites) from the surrounding blood vessels and lym phatic glands at once come hurrying to the rescue. They begin to clean up whatever wreck there has been made in the skin and muscular tissue. They eagerly absorb into themselves or clus ter opposingly about all foreign mat ter that has been introduced into the wound. Then they proceed ~to pile themselves tier upon ier around it like so many little sandbags about a broken bastion. Later they gradually join together and solidify into the lay er of new skin which appears beneath the sloughed off scab. They are at once workmen and repairing material.-A. E. MacFarlane in McClure's. Why He Sees Double. The reason that a man sees double who has gazed too long on the wine when it is red is that the nerve centers are changed by the action of the alco hol. There is a want of harmony In the action of the muscles which move the eyeballs. Consequently instead of both eyes being focused simultaneously on an object one eye receives an impres sion independently of the other. The two impressions are communicated to the brain, and the object is therefore seen twice. The inflamed condition and loss of energy in the brain centers from overdoses of alcohol also account for the staggering gait of an intoxicated man. How Icelanders Tie Horses. The Icelanders have a strange but effective plan for preventing horses straying away from any particular spot. If two gentlemen happen to be riding without attendants and wish. to leave their horses for any reason they tie the head of one horse to the tall of the former. In this state it is utterly impossible for the horsesi to move on, either backward or forward. If dis posedto move at all it will be only in a circle, and even then there must be mutual agreement to turn their heads the same way. The Money Lendec'. There are many examples of Lord Palmerston's ready wit in Sir Mt. E. Grant Duff's book, "Notes From a Diary." In a debate about the Jews an orator rather bored the house by enumerating many of the things which the English owed to Hebrew Initiative. Lord Palmerston In reply gave the dis cussion a sprightlier turn. "I quite agree with the honorable gentleman," he remarked. "Many of us owe a great deal to the Jews." Priests and Beards. The beardless priest Is only a matter of custom, there being no edict upon the subject. All of the popes from Adrian TI. to Innocent XI. and all the cardinals and other church clerics during the same period were bearded dignitaries. Ignatius Loyola, St. Fran cis Xavier, Francis de Sales, Vincent de Paul and the Cardinals Bellarmine and Richelieu all wore full beards. An Awful Finish. Hen-What makes you look so glum? Rooster-I've just been chased out of the wood shed with a feather duster. It got so close to me that I recognized the tails of three of my family.-De troit Free Press. A Man of Ability. Chollie - Can you recognize ability when you see it, Miss Ruth? Miss Ruth (looking around) - Certainly. Where is any? ________ it cannot be too often repeated that it is not helps, but obstacles; not fa cilities, but difficulties, that make men. --Matthews. Indolent Rossini. Rossini was one of the most indolent men that ever lived, yet he wrotQ op eras againgt time, as It were. "The Sarber of Seville," for Instance, ws written and mounted in less than a month, which fact gave rise to Doni zetti's cogent witticism. Upon being told that Rossini had finished his opera in thirteen days Donizetti replied: "It is very possible. He Is so lazy!" 'The Cares of a Home. "Dear me," said young Mrs. Hunni mune. "I must see our grocer right away." "What for?" asked her husband. "I have some instructions to give him. I want to tell him to make our coffee a little stronger and our butter a little weaker." Conservatism. In Samuel Pepys' period a bill was brought into parliament "to restrain the excessive and superfluous use of 'oaches."-London Outlook.
