r" THE MONTENEGRIN.
He It Hospitable, but Dearly Loves the
... Vendetta. .
To listen to a liulgnr singing la to
make one's flesh creep or want to
weep. Tho centuries of cruel oppres
sion are ouly too mr.nifiut iu Bulgarian
music and words, lr.it u' Montenegrin
grows restless over his sir.i.'s mid
curses the powers tli.it forbid him to j
emulate his forefat hern' deeds en i
masse across the frontier, lie does I
so wheuover be ciin. but only in twos
and threes.
When the Montenegrin goes raiding
across the border it Is really n more
sporting nfYnlr tlimt tho we'l. equipped
nnd organized otitinus of 1 ho Hulg.tr
"Comltatclils." Willi him It Is usually
a private act of revenge or vendetta
to which lie Invite one or two friends.
Then they steal across the border at
night, find their man, do their best to
kill Itlm nnd then make tracks home
ward with the whole district at their
beels. Perhaps the method of killing
Is not up to the standard of western
sport, for they shoot their victim "sit
ting," so to speak, and do not give him
a chance, but as It is tho recognized
system on both sides little enn be anid.
This custom makes men very wary,
and the stranger can appreciate the
reason when ho sees a plowman, for
Instance, attending to bis duties with
a rifle slung over his back. Hut In
spite of this they are the essence of
honor and hospitality. As their guest
no one can come to any harm, and
they will do all In their power to make
his stay among them pleasant and
safe. Wide World Magazine.
THE HORSE.
Hi Appeal to Hit Master For Humane
Treatment.
To thee, my master, I offer my pray
er. Feed me and take care of me. Be
kind to me. Do not jerk the reins. Do
not whip me when going uphill.
Never strike, bent or kick mo when
I fail to understand what you .want of
me, but give me a chance to under
stand you. Watch mo, and if I refuse
to do your bidding see If there is not
something wrong with my harness.
Do not give me too heavy loads. Nev
er hitch me where water will drip on
me. Keep me well shod. Examine my
teeth when I fall to cat I may have
an ulcerated tooth. That, you know,
Is very painful. I nm 'tumble to tell
you In words when I nm sick, so
watch me, nnd I will try to tell you by
signs.
Pet me sometimes. I enjoy It, and
I will learn to love you.
Protect me In summer from the hot
sun. Keep a blanket on me In winter
weather, and never put a frosty bit In
my mouth, but hold It in your hands a
moment first.
I carry you, pull you, wait patiently
for you long hours, day or night. I
cannot tell you when I am thirsty;
give me clean, cool wnter often In hot
weather.
Finally, wheu my strength Is gone.
Instead of turning me over to a hn
"ninn brute to be tortured and starved,
take my life In the easiest, quickest
way, nnd your God will reward you In
this life and In heaven.. Amen. From
the Swedish In "Our Dumb Animals."
- Birds' Eggs.
Ostriches lay the largest eggs of nil
birds now extant, according to a writ
er in the Scientific American but the
ostrich's egg would have appeared
small beside that extinct Madagascar
bird, the epyornis, which measured
more than thirty inches In its small
est circumference. The smallest birds'
eggs are those of the minute Bpecles of
humming birds, which are smaller
than the eggs of certain kinds of trop
ical beetles. But the cuckoo lays the
relatively smallest egg that 1b to say.
while the jackdaw and the cuckoo are
about equal In size, the former's egg la
five or six times larger than the let
ter's. The fact that the cuckoo Is
wont to deposit Its eggs In the nests
of birds which are usually much small
er than Itself doubtless accounts for
this. The relatively largest egg Is laid
by the kiwi, a strange, wingless New
Zealand bird. The egg is no less thai)
five Inches long, although the extreme
length of the bird Itself is only twenty-seven
Inches.

A fad of Big Run boys at present is to
get an old ponder nr oil can, and fix a
place for It In the ground somewhere,
so fire can he put under It and when
properly puocturtd, fill it partly with
water, plug all holes but ono on top,,
put a paddle wheel over this puncture,
fire up, itake steam and set the wheel
to gotng under the pressure of the es
caping team. It is the greatest fun
going for quite a number of our laddies.
These new enterprises are found at
various places over town. It attracts
crowds t.f other boys too. So all have a

while the tax on the smokers will be
boosted fiom twenty-five cents to sixty

' BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can Be Traced Back
to the Earliest Age.
Cremation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages,, and, although in pa
gan countries it may have taken the
form of fire worshiping, there can be
no doubt that Its adoption by the an
cients was for the most part prompt
ed by other than religions reasons.
Greeks ascribe its Introduction to Her
cules, who, having sworn to transmit
the body of Argus to his father,
thought this the most convenient way
of fulfilling his promise. According to
Homer, the burning of the dead was a
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war, but the
earliest record of It Is among the
Scythians, who luhnblted the vast re
gion known under the name of Tnr
tary. Slender accounts handed down
concerning the manners of some of the
ancient natives of Hindustan also al
lude to the custom. The Idea of puri
fication by fire was In all ages univer
sal, and with good reason. Some be
lieved that the body was unclean after
the departure of tie soul, and It was
therefore deemed necessary that It
should be purified by fire. Ovid ex
pressed the general opinion of bis time
when be said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body
until the latter was consumed on the
pyre. The Athenians Invariably after
a battle burned the slain.
WHIPPED BY MACHINERY.
Automatio Floggera Used by 8everal
European Armies.
Automatic flogging machines are in
use among the military forces of sev
eral European nations. For many
years the whipping was always done
by soldiers under the command of an
officer, and the punishment varied, ac
cording to the personal relations sub
sisting between the soldier and bis vic
tim. It was to correct this disadvan
tage that the flogging machine was in
vented. The machine is automatic in action,
and as soon as the culprit is fastened
in position a spring is tightened or
loosened to gauge the exact force of
the blow. A pointer Is moved over a
dial to tho requisite number of strokes
and the mechanism Is started.
With perfect regularity tho victim's
back is scourged by the throngs, the
handle of tho whip being moved by n
screw device ufter each stroke so that
the lasll does not fall on the same spot
throughout the punishment.
Each blow Is of uniform severity,
and ns soon ns the required number
has been given the machine comes to
a rest, and the offender Is released,
with the nsRiirance that the exact pun
ishment ordered has been meted out
to him. Harper's Weekly.
An Ancient Custom.
"I wonder If men have always com
plained about the food their wives pre
pared for thriii," said one woman.
"1 guess so," replied the other.
