TIE WOMEN OF sERvIA.
Their quaint Customs; muscni.l
Developments and Character
fstic Faces.

The correspondent of the LONDON
News says: "The women to-day
wore on their heads red kerchlefs
with the ends hanging down their
backs. and bound on their heads by a
velvet fillet, embroidered with coins.
in which were often stuck flowers,
chiefly of red and white. They were
generally dressed in white, but in
Variably with the brilliant apron
scwed down 10 the skirt, and often
with a gaudily-embroidered stomach
er, or perhaps breast-plate would be
the more descriptive term, studded
with coins OIL black velvet. The
working dress OF the women in the
fields is a short jacket, braided and
siashed in the fashion and of the cat
of that worn by the men, a red and
yellow kerchief crossed over the
bosom, a petticoat striped mostly i'll
the parallel stripes of Moorish pattern,
but occasionally in checkers, which
make the pattern tartan, a tapestry
like apron of brighter colors than
the petticoat, and bare legs and feet.
The men are fine race, tall, with a
certain stateliness and self-respect IN
every gesture; their faces are almost
always good, and often quite intellec-
tual and chivalric, but i'll muscular
development the peasant women of
Seryia can give their husbands a stone
and beating. took the trouble to-
day TO measure the waist Of lass
who was lounging against the pillar
of a tavern where we were having
some refreshment. Her waist was .
good inch more in circumference than
mine, and | am by no means a small
boned man. l noticed as we came
further south how the ruddy COM
plexion and fair hair, bleached almost
to the hue of shabby brick, were
being left behind, and giving place to
faces of all Oriental type-a blending
of the Greek aud Arab, with clean
cut profile, straight nose, and black
hair and eyes, and a noble carriage.
Occasionally among the women face
of pure Egyptian type was to be
noticed-a trace probably OF the ill.,
fusion of gypsy blood which is far
from uncommon in Eastern Europe.

NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.

The eloquence of figures could
scarcely be more fully illustrated
than i'll the comparison given by the
Boston journal of Commerce when
speaking of the difference in fret cost
and subsequent expense of manage
ment of broad, as compared with
narrow, gauge railroads. The supe-
rior advantages resultant from the
construction of the latter are evidenced
by the following striking facts and
figures:
"The difference in weight and cost
of the rolling stock of the broad and
narrow gauge railroads has been cal
culated by a Herald correspondent as
follows: A locomotive, baggage car.
Pullman car and four passenger cars
OIL the Eastern road give capacity for
23O passengers, weigh 1873 tons, and
cost SOS 900 one locomotive and six
passenger cars OH the Revere Beach

ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR ILLUMINATION
AT SEA.

The steamship Amerique, of the
General Transatlantic Steamship
Company, has been provided with a
new electric light for the purpose of
illumination at sea. The apparatus
used is one of Mr.. Gramme's electro
magnetic machines designed for illu-
minating purposes. The propelling
power is small but powerful engine.
The lamp consists of two pointed
coke pencils, four or five inches in
length and one-half inch square, kept
at the proper distance from each
other by a clOck-work arrangement,
and which will last some four hours.
The light, it is affirmed, is visible
at sea at distance of fifteen miles,
and lights the ship 80 perfectly that
all the details of her equipment aud
rigging can be plainly seen at a
distance of over mile. The especial
design of the lamp is to afford light
for working the ship. The Amerique
is the first vessel that has been equip
ped with the light, and the system is
said to work with the greatest salts
faction.-[ Editors Scientific Record,

THE CRIME AGAINST WOMAN.
From the KeOkuk Gate City.l

y.
This crime could be easily stopped
by law. Let the law provide that
every man guilty of rape, or attempt
ed rape. shall, in addition to lmprison-
ment, be unsexed. A penalty of this
kind upon the statute books of the
st tie, enforced in every instance where
the crime is committed or attempted,
will soon make women secure again
i'll their homes, OIL the street, Oh the
highway, everywhere. The law in
its present treatment of crime is fool
ishly and unphilosophicaIly indiffer-
ent to all the disclosures Of modern
science as to the propagation of crime.
We hold it to be the duty of the state
to apply the law of natural selection
and inheritance to the treatment of
social evils. Let the state by its
penalties adjust its policy to prevent
the propagation as well as the perpe-
tration of crime.
The fear of a reinstatement of the
negroes seems greatly to disturb the
more radical of the Hayes Grant Or
gans. Let the whites of the country be
emancipated from the slavery of tax
alton and debt which the profligacy
and corruption of radicalism has i'm
posed upon them, and then they may
think about the condition of the
negro, but the negro will in all prob.
ability have to lock out for himself
until this is done, for charity begins
at home. White slavery is question
just now, of much more concern te
the North than black bondage, aud
all this talk about the negro is moi
going to pursuade the country tha
four years more of Grantism is goinf
to better the condition of either
white or black.-[Chicago Courier.
