Our own way is always the best
way" said philosopher who under
stood human nature, and why every
body else does not go our way is a
course of constant surprise. For in
stance, in shopping. How would you
like to shop in Guatemala They are
a very polite people, and on coming
into the store, will pass some remark
about the weather, and ask how bust
ness Is. Then comes a string of ques-
tions about the health of the proprietor
and all his relations and friends; and
when all the questions are asked, the
proprietor turns around and asks the
same questions of you. Then the pro
prietor gets down to business, and
takes down all his stock, which Is all
examined and priced, and then you
say You will go home and think about
1T. The next day you return with the
whole family-men, women, children
and visitors-all the salutations are re-
peated, and all the stock displayed
again. After two or three hours of
this sort of thing, you buy, perhaps, a
yard of muslin, and have it charged on
thirty or sixty days tiGe. This so de-
lights the proprietor that he follows
you to the door and asks all the ques-
tions of your health all over again. 1t
is needless to say that GuatemGlan
merchants were never known TO get
rich.

INC Prince of Montenegro.

The palace of this absolute monarch,
says David Ker, in Hagper's Bazaar, was
meek little wh;tewashed cottage with
green shutters, but the giant guards at
its door-One blaze of crimson and gold
and white from head to foot-were wor-
thy of Napoleon himself. The Captain
was fully seven feet high, his men but
little less; and as they clashed their gilt
tering swords over our heads with
hoarse shout of welcome, began to I'M
derstand how this little eagles nest had
detied all Turkey for four hundred years.
On the map of Europe Montenegro is a
mere speek, recalling the French envoys
biting answer to a microscopic German
Grand Duke, who babe him quit his do
minions within twenty-four hours: ''If
your Highness Will take the trouble to
look out of the window, you Will see me
crossing your frontier in less than five
minutes But 10 one can despise : ST lie
which, with 100, 200 men, has so sue
cessfully harrassed an empire with 40
900, 900 as fully to bear out the pithy
national saying, LEST we should be strait
ened, God gave us the Turk "
Passing on into the house, we had Just
time to notice the neat French furniture
of the inner pa1lor, and its full length
portraits of the Princess of Montenegro
and her children, when a man entered,
who needed no introduction to announce
him to US as nc other than the Prince
himself.
Like nearly all of the greatest men
whom I have eve, met, this famous leader
owed little TO mere external marks of
distinction. His giant stature and Her
culean frame, though dwarfing US into
absolute nothing1less, were fully equaled
by many of his stalwart subjects; and his
dress was that of an ordinary Montene-
grin warrior snow-white tunic open in
front, crimson vest richly embroidered
with gold, partly colored sash around the
waist, loose blue knickerbockers, white
stockings, and close fitting sandals-the
only difference being that he carried no
weapon, and wore a small Greek cross of
silver on his neck. But the strong hand
some features, with their bold martial
ar, the firm lips and massive jaw, the
dark hair and soldier-like mustache, the
large fiery eyes, now melting into tender
ness and now flashing ike a drawn sword,
and, above all, the look of calm dignity
natural to one whose lightest word was
implicitly obeyed-all combined to
stamp Nikita Petrovitch as a man whom
no change of fortune could make one
whit less or greater than he was.

The Demon Steer.

According to George Wilson, Wyo-
ming cowboy, says a correspondent OF
the New York Sun, there has roamed on
the ranges adjacent 10 the Plat and the
Laramie Rivers for these many years a
mastodon wild steer whose aggressive
ness and power make him the dread OF
every roundup outfit. This combative
beef bears not brand, but no ''rustler'
dare appropriate him.
"The demon steer, as the pugnacious
.:5T7=s ==-=====ss5zf, KNOWS no feor, and with
lowered head. glistening eyes and sonor-
Gus below will charge upon anything
in his course. Time upon time has he
been rounded up with his comparatively
docile companions, but he invariably
rushes past the line of riders as if no
such obstruction to his flight existed.
Once an outfit determined to effect the
capture of the big fellow, but after he
had gored two horses and scared the wits
from hall a dozen riders the undertaking
was abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season, in
a fit of rage at those who dared intrude
on the peaceful solitude of the range,
charged at midday into a camp, creating
panic to which was ideal quietness the
clatter incident to the stampede of the
tabled bull in the imaginary china shop.
There was a grand scattering of equip
age and disordered flight of the diners
One of these latter was so incensed that,
contrary to all orders, he sent a six
shooter ball after the massive steer, but
the missile flew wide of its mark
Wilson asserts that he will undertake
to prove that the ''demon steer" killed a
big bear in a fair fight on the Sabylle
three years sgo, and the cowboys will bet
all their earthly belongings that Demon
can conquer any bull in the Territory.
The combat with the bear was terrible
affair. Bruin was forced to the defen-
sive from the start, and for time
pluckily met the fearful onslaughts of
the fighting steer, jarring the great form
with blows from his paws. The activity
of the steer was marvellous. He played
around his antagonist as the sparrer an
noys his foe, and at nearly every charge
ran his long sharp horns into the blood
matted sides of the bear with the wicked
''swish' of the effective sword thrust.
Wilson thinks the ''demon steer" will
die of old age. The man who attempts
his capture takes his life in his hands.

Gas in the Stomach.

''What IS the cause and cure Of belch-
ing2 Although my meals are not over
hearty, my stomach feels full and some
what oppressed after eating. Between
meals, and especially for two hours before
one, the gas forces itself up to my mouth,
and the result is, the habit is disagreed
BILE to me as it to others"
Two or three general causes may bring
about such condition of the stomach.
The first cause is over-eating, by per
sons whose normal digestion is not par
ticularly faulty Less food-say one
third less-would be attended with no
such annoyance. But the stomach IS IN.
equal TO the amount usually taken, and
more or less of it ferments, instead of
-digesting, and thus generates certain
gases.
Itshould be remembered that the power
Of some persons to digest Is naturally
weak, while that of others Is vigorous.
Of course, therefore, the question of the
proper quantity of food is one to be de
cided in each individual case. Again, a
naturally strong stomach may have be
come weakened by over-much care, con
inement within doors, lack Of healthful
exercise, bad hygienic surroundings, ex-
cessive FRAMEWORK, insufficient sleep, or,
perhaps, by habitually eating Just little
too much.
The second cause of habitual belchine
IS chronic dyspepsia. This may have
been induced unmarked overfeeding, ex-
cesSive FRAMEWORK, or harassing cares
long persistedin. But, however induced
the condition is essentially the same. The
digestive fluids are much lessened in
quantity, and the action of the stomach
is greatly weakened.

long in the stomach, and passes out of it
sour and fermenting. beyond the power
of the bile to neutralize its acidity.
The cure, as in the former case, will
depend on the removal of the cause, on
careful attention to all hygienic condi-
tons, with more or less medical treat
ment, all persisted in for long time
A third cause OF belching, or proba-
BILE one, is the habit of swallowing air.
1t is believed by some experts that many
persons, of peculiar nervous suscepti-
bility, unconsciously form such a habit,
since chemical analysis shows that what
IS belched up is not gas, but atmospheric
air By the heat oil the stomach, this is,
of course, greatly increased in volume
In such cases the cure will follow the cor
rection of the habit.-Ko1nHs Com.
