you have fair idea of these Danube
grain mills, some four or five thousand
of which, in groups of ten or a dozen to-
gether, are scattered along the watery
highway, all the way down the Vienna to
Belgrade. Each mill is inscribed with
its owners name, and I found time, in
passing, to copy one or two, such as
"Juhas Istyany ces Landos" and
/" Jonasvitch Makopoponi, as being
curious samples of Magyar peasant
nomenclature. AS the steamer goes
shooting by these mills, SO close that the
slow clack, clack" of the mill wheel
is distinctly audible, it is amusing to
note the inmates looking for all the
world like Humpty Dumpty in the play,
rushing to the doors or windows to wave
salute and have look at the passen-
gers.

Solomon as a Sea Captain.

Here is story they are telling just
now in London of troop ship: In
the ladies' cabin were four wash basins,
one of which was much larger than the
other. There were three ladies in the
cabin whose husbands were about
equal in rank. The women always
think they have right to presume on
the rank of their husbands when TAX
ing choice of berths, etc., and there was
great discussion as to who was entitled
to the use of the big basin. 1t was re-
ferred to the paymaster of the ship, who
could settle nothing, and eventually to
the captain. He gave decision worthy
of Solomon. After first asking them
if they would abide by his verdict and
not give any more trouble in the mat
ter, which they really agreed to do, he
said he thought it was only fair that the
oldest lady should have the biggest
basin. That basin was never used dur
ing the voyage out.

Fight with a Python.

The Straits Times gives an exciting
account of an encounter with python:
A sportsman who penetrated into the
Jungle lying between Buddoh and Stran-
COON came upon lone hut, in district
called Camone Batta, upon the roof of
which the skin of an enormous boa OF
python was spread out. The hut was
occupied by Malay and his vito, who
told the following extraordinary story
"One night about week previous the
Malay was awakened by the cries of his
wife. Surprising in the darkness that
she had been attacked by thieves, he
seized his sharp parang and CROPPED his
way her sleeping place where his hand
fell upon Shiny reptile. It was fully a
minute before he could comprehend the
entire situation, and when he did he dis
covered that the whole of his wifes arm
had been drawn down the monsters
throat, whittier the upper part Of her
body was slowly but surely following.
Not daring to attack the monster at once
for fear of causing his wife's death, the
husband seized two bags within reach
and commenced stuffing them into the
corners of the snakes jaws, by means of
which he succeeded in forcing them
wider open and releasing bis wife's arm
No sooner had the boa lost his prey than
he attacked the husband, whom he be-
gan encircling in his fatal coils. but
holding out both arms and watching his
opportunity, the man attacked the mon
ster so vigorously with his parang that
it suddenly unwound itself and vanished
through an opening beneath the attap
sides of the hut. The Malay's clothes
were covered with blood, as was also the
floor of the hut, and his wife's arm was
blue with the squeezing it received be-
tween the boa's jaws. AT daylight the
husband discovered his patch OF plan
tain trees nearly ruined, the boa having
in his agony broken off the trees at the
roots, and in the midst of the debris lay
the monster itself dead. The Malay
stated that he had realized $50 from
Chinese, who came long distances to
purchase pieces of the flesh on account
of it's supposed medical properties, and
that he had refused Sc for the skin,
which he preferred to retain as a
trophy

Revenge is Sweet.
From the Boston Post

Gallagher is satisfied. The facts are
these: Gallagher was the president of a
dramatic club and wrote piece for them.
It called for nine persons. and every
body In the cast except Gallagher con-
sidered that he or she had the worst part
and that it was made so on purpose. At
first they didn't propose to play, but
finally decided to do SO and concocted a
plan to punish Gallagher. He played
the hero and in the first act said farewell
to his mother and went off to sea, and
when she parted with him she contrived
to wrench his head and scratch his nose
ON a pin fixed in the shoulder of her
dress for that purpose. That eased her
mind and disturbed his. But he sub
mitted. In the next act he appeared on
shipboard and had to be knocked down
by the cruel captain, who bit him so
earnestly with Delaying pin that it
nearly killed him. And then when he
headed the mutiny and cried to the
mutineers, "Follow mer' somebody
opened trap and he ANONYMOUSLY fell
through it and got terribly guyed by
the audience. He was awful mad, but
determined to conquer in spite of the
disaster, and so came up and went on
with the play In the third act he was
to have terrible combat with the vii
lain Of the play and whip him. Mr..
Hencoop Smythe played the part. He
was satisfied that he had the worst part
in the piece, and that Gallagher had
made it so to spite him. Gallagher, as
he clinched him, cried: 'sVillain, I'll
beat your life out in two seconds But
he didn't The villain was the strongest
man, and the way he lathered Gallagher
about the stage was awful When it
came to that point where the villain was
to cry: "Let me up! I'm crushedw
he had Gallagher jammed under the
table and was beating him with a chair
leg, and of course his speech and Gal
lagher's reply: 81 will not spare your
lifep' sounded absurd. Before the vii
lain consented to be overcome, he had
got the audience to shrieking with
laughter and had beaten Gallagher black
and blue all over. Gallagher went home
terribly enraged, and the rest of the COM
pany were delighted The piece was to
be played the next night, and Gallagher
reported himself too i'll to appear. But
he sent substitute. The substitute was
a prize-fghter, under an assumed name.
He Rugged his mother so in the parting
scene, that he nearly killed her, and
pulled her false hair off accidentally.
He threw the cruel captain down the
trap. He hurt all the other actors, and,
in the fight with the villain, mopped the
whole stage with him and hurled him
clear through the back fiat. The COM
pany and scenery were completely
wrecked, confusion reigned, and Gala
CHER sat in front and laughed until he
nearly died. Revenge is sweet. >

Can CeIibacy be Excused :?
From the New York Times

Young men are continually advised
and urged privately and publicly, to
take a wife, the supposition being,
whether erroneous or not, that young
woman are very willing to be taken I'M
der almost any circumstances. The
postulate that marriage is always desir-
able is obviouly false. 1t is only desir-
able when such conditions exist for and
between the couples as are far from
common and frequently attainable. The
prospect of connubial misery would
seem to be quite as good as the pros
pect of cunnubial happiness, and no
amount of foresight or discretion will in
sure any pair against sharp disappoint-
ment and bitter discomfort Everybody
is aware of this-it is little less than a
truism-and yet on all sides preach
ments resound in favor of universal
matrimony. Many persons do not
wish to be married, and general
the state. Good wifehood or true
husbandship is not inherited with birth;
nor does it appertain to the multitude.
Those who cannot live alone cannot as
a rule live together. Connubial adap-
tation is evidence of sef-discipline, Of
forbearance, of individuality. The best
wives and the best husbands are doubt
less they who, with variation of their
destiny, would have been model maid
ems and mo1el bachelors. Nor is it I'M
probable that many who would have
been the noblest patterns of welded
domestlcty are to-day enjoying them
selves in single blessedness.

ONE THAT'S DEAD.

1t Is the hour when all things rest;
The sun sets in the hammered West
And looks along the golden street
That leads DER ocean to his feet.
Sea-birds with summer on their wing
Down the wide West are journeying,
And one white star serenely high
Peeps through the purple of the sky.
o sky, and sea, and shore, and air,
How tranquil are We now, and fair!
But twice the joy We are were ye
If one that's dead companioned me.
