THROUGH THE BALKAN.

The path grows sleeper as we ad-
vance, for we are making a short cut
over the shoulder of the mountain, and
so we struggle up i'll single file, with
occasional halts to breathe the horses
until, rounding an extremely rugged
corner where some caution is to be
shown in passing, we find ourselves at
the top of a steep grassy slope, leading
down to the green valley of Sveti Petka
Monastery. Some maize fields tempt
the spOrtsmen of the party to wander
from the track in search of partridges,
but evening is coming on, and we have
still several miles to go before reaching
our halting place. After a short rest in
the courtyard of the monastery to allow
our pack horses n chance of catching
up, during which we are amused by the
determined attacks upon our dogs of
two gaunt sows in defense of their
numerous itters, we mount again, and
night has fallen as we clatter through
the struggling village of Tcherova and
enter the Khan yard. When our horses
have been attended to we begin to think
about ourselves. Tired, cold, and
hungry, it is weary work waiting for
the arrival of our pack horses with our
food and wraps. There is great
granary behind the Khan, its four sides
open to the winds of heaven, and here
we make up beds of clean hay and
settle ourselves down to wait for our
truant Ella and his horses. From time
to time we make descents upon the
Kahn to see what eatables can be
found there The result is hardly
satisfactory. The room is low, dirty,
and full of smoke. A large square hole
in the earthen floor contains wood
fire, over which culinary operations are
going on. There is no chimney, and
the roof is smoked as black as ebony.
Round the fire are grouped half a
dozen men and women, clad in sheep
skins and course white wooden cloth of
the country, redolent of garlic and
innocent of soap. They are good,
hospitable souls, however, and what
they have is freely offered us. Two or
three dozen eggs are boiled, and maize
heads and paprillas (red pepper roasted
III the embers. But three-fourths of
the eggs are Ofancient date, and those of
of us are rash enough to try the papri-

Rumors say that Miss Cleveland has
withdrawn from the White House per-
manently because of the everyday use
of wines and other spirituous liquors
in the Executive household. The re-
port is that Miss Cleveland consented,
with some reluctance, to the custO-
mary appearance of wines and brandy
at all official dinners. This was the
extent of her concession. The point
doubtless is that Mr. Cleveland insists
upon having wine on his private table,
and Miss Cleveland declines to preside
over a table where wine habitually APP

Secret Thoughts.

hold 1t true that thoughts are things
Endowed with being, breath and wings
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or i'll.
That which we cali or secret thought
Speeds to the earths remOtest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind 1t, as It goes
1t is Gods law remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known,
And yet make cOmrads when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress by-and-by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned breath
Breaths into homes its feyered DEATH
And after you have quite forgot
Or all OutgrOwn some vanished Thought,
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;

In shaping worlds and moulding fate

A census recently taken of the

that it is as badly off as New York.
There are 1895 liquor shops, 3,347
groceries and 1,O66 bakeries in that
city. There is liquor store for every
twenty-nine voters, which is about the
same proportion as in New York. The
enormous political power which the
10000 and more liquor shops in New
York exert is known to all persons
who have endeavOred to bring about
any reform in the municipal govern

A bill passed by the Legislature of New
York forbids the erection Of houses more
than eighty feet high. Such a measure
has been asked for by tiremcn, by under
writers, by many persons whose property
and homes and LIES are placedin jeopardy
by the towering buildings Of New York
city. The fire engines cannot throw the
water 10 greater height than eighty feet.
Fire in one Of the top-lolty buildingsis
almost impossible to control. Falling
walls crush In neighborins roofs and ag-
rrayate the normal danger Of service in
the fire department.
Since the high-class tenement houses
known as "aata" have come so largely
into vogue houses twelve stories high
have been constructed. These buildings
it is almost impossible to ventilate prop
erly, and their towering forms shut the
sunlight out Of the street. The reasons
Why they should be prohibited are many
and obvious
Yettbe bill has aroused intense opposi-
ton. Builders and dealers in builders
materials complain that it Injuries their
business aud Is therefore an unjust dis
elimination. With as much reason there
would he complaints from men who clear
away fire debris. from physicians who
wait on the wounded, and from undertake
ers who bury the dead.
