King Milan and His Dynasty.

Milan L., ex-King of Servia, who has
just abdicated in favor of his thirteen
year-old son, was born August %, 1854.
He was the son of Milos Obrenovic, and
succeeded to the throne as Prince Milan
Obrenovic w., and was confirmed by
the election OF the Servian National AS
sembly, after the assassination of his
uncle, Prince Michail Obrenovic ILL.,,
on June 10, 1868. He was crowned
Prince at Belgrade and assumed the
government on August %, 1872, when
he was exactly eighteen years of age.
He was proclaimed King ON March 6,
1882.
King Milan was married on October
IL, 1875, to Natalie, daughter of Colonel
Keschko, of the Russian Imperial
Guard. The Queen was born in 1859
and was divorced from her royal hus-
band ON October "a, 1888. The dis
graceful and arbitrary means which
King Milan employed to secure this re-
suit became notorious at the time. Be
fore the decree of divorce was granted
the King culmipated his persecution of
his consort by exiling her from the
country, and she took refuge at the Rus
sian Court. Their only offspring is a son,
Alexander, the new King, who was bonn
on August IA, 1876, aud is therefore
twelve years aud seven months old
Milan l. was the fourth ruler of his
dynasty, which WIS founded by Milos
Todorovio Obrenovsc, who was leader of
the Serbs in their wlr of instruction to
throw off the yoke Of Turkey. The war
lasted from 1916 to 1929, and resulted in
the Turkish government being compelled
to grant neutrality-suspicious. to Servia.
A treaty was signed on Septc rber IA,
1929, by the terms of which Alilos L.
Obrenoyic was acknowledged Prince of
Servia, and by a subsequent firman of
the Sultan, dated August Is, 1880, the
dignity was made hereditary in his fam
ily.
1t is interesting to note that this
founder of the House of Obrenovic was
Of PEASANT origin and in his youth had
been swineherd. He was naturally II
man Of simple, even coarse habits, and
was so much Of despot that when he
was compelled in 1889 to abdicate, like
his living descendant, the people Of
6ervia rejo:ced. The rise of the Obren-
oHic family was the result of the policy
d the Turkish conquerors, who in the
curly part Of this century contrived to
kill or drive out OF the country all the
6eryian aristoeracy, leaving only peas

bute and to feed the swine, The raising

HOW THE OUTLAW OF SOUTH

John Bonfield, late Inspector of Police,

1t was not by rap of his suppressive

Chemical Sugar.

1t is generally known that chemists can
produce In their laboratory from rags q
substance very similar to sugar and hav-
ing the same sweetning property. The
Germans are, however, hard at work try
ing to produce artificial sugar on a large
scale, and although its production for
practical purposes has not yet been rea-
liked considerable advance has been made,
and step has been taken toward success
full results.
Herr Emil Fischer has succeeded in OBJ
tanning true sugar, which is capable of
undergoing alcoholic fermentation by
means of yeast, just like ordinary sugar.
There is only one thing wanting IN this
new chemical sugar which causes it to
differ from natural sugar, and that is
that it is OFFICIALLY inactive, it will not 70

The Home Doctor.

!
| There are certain simple facts in re-
gard to the care of the sick that every
! young girl should know before she is
called upon to preside over home of
her own. Physicians say there are few
women who are capable of making
poultice, cup Of beef tea, or piece of
toast properly. If one has never had
the care of an invalid, there may be some
excuse for not knowing practically how
| to make a poultice, but one can at least
inform herself as far as the theory goes.
sold, clammy podltice is positively
harmful.
To make a linseed poultice pour q
quantity of warm water into a tin basin,
stand on the back of the range, and scat
ter in the linseed meal, stirring with
knife until of a proper consistency. In
the use of the water you must be govern
ed by the size of the poultice required.
If it is too dry it will not hold together;
If too wet, 1t is damp and uncomfortable.
Ii should be moist, without being sloppy.
Now take clean piece of old muslin a
couple of inches larger all around than
the poultlce is to be, spread it with the
mixture, cover with another piece of
muslin, and quickly haste over an inch
all around. Do this without rem owing it
from the hot dish, on which it should be
carried TO the bedside. If it is necessary
to fasten it on, do this with folds Of
bandaging. and cover with a compress of
flannel to retain the heat. A piece of oil
silk is less clumsy and will keep moisture
from the bed clothes.
There are many different formulas for
preparing beef tea, but the simplest and
best is as follows: Cover one pound of
lean beef from the round with pint of
cold water. Have the butcher chop it
fine as for Hamburger steak; beat it in
the water with a silver fork for ten
minutes; place over the fire, simmer for
twenty minutes, strain and set aside to
| cool, in order to remove any little fakes
of fat that may form. When ready to
serve, make it hot, season with salt only,
and serve with thin, brown toast or little
wafer crackers.
