Servians as T>ca y with Trovaric2tion as

 A talk with King Milan is rich mental pabulun for the traveller who is aweary and athirst in the drocry conversational wastes of the Balkans, says IIarper's Weekly. It is an unE1i-,cd delight, but should be partakcn Of wiih the ad- mixture of much salt. It is q dcl,ght- ful causerie set going by conscrvcs after the Servian fashion, and coacludcdwith Turkish coffee and cigarettes, and moro than Persian etiquette prevails throughout. On crossing over into these countries one is immediately forced to the conclusion that Oscar Wldc's lament lover the decay in the art of lying is at least premature, and in conversation with the ex-king you, if you never have before, are i1amedi- ately caught, and participate in the ec- centric poets admiration and enthusi- asm for the able and u1blashilg story teller who never gives way to philoso- phic doubt and who is aware that the criterion of truth is fuctuating.

Your Servian cannot help this It is inherent in his language and in- nate in his blood. The minister of finance, whose name I would not ven- ture to spell, made his budget report to the sl1uptschiaa three years ago in well arranged quatrains. But the budget did not balance as well as the quatrains, and, while his report was re- ceived as a remarkable production in literary circles, in the world of finance it excited distrust and suspicion, and Servian bonds would have taken tumble had they not been already deep Iycnbcddedi in the bottom rock of bourse o11OtatiOnS

IRISH ANTIQUITIES.
X Rare Relic Brought Up from the Bot
 tom of LOugil Erne.

During the progress of the Lough Erne drainage works, says the Fer managh Qre1and) Times, some rare and interesting relics of bygone ages were discovered, but these sink into insig- nifcance when compared with a recent find which was dredged by fishermen accidentally from the bottom of the lower Erne from a depth of between twenty and thirty feet from the surface of the lake. This most interesting relic has been secured by Mir. Plunkett, NJ. R. I. A., who intends reading paper descriptive Of it before the Royal so- ciety of antiquities at their meeting next summer. This rare frd is very ancient catekach or shrine seven inches long and about six and half inches high and four inches broad at the base. The interior was carved out of yew wood and the exterior is composed of bronze and beautifully decorated. There was small bronze box inside the shrine, which appeared to be her medically sealed when perfect. In this the sacred object was deposited, which, unfortunately, was either lost or de- composed by the action of carbonic acid in the water.
 In shape the shrine resembles the little stone-roofed churches or oratories which were erected between the seventh and tenth centuries, and were contem- poraneous with the building of the round towers. The ridge of the roof of the shrine is surmounted longitudinally by billet of bronze, the front side of which is very artistically adorned with various types of interlaced patterns, which are displayed in sections. There are three raised bosses on the front of this house-shaped shrine-a large one situated on the roof and two smaller ones on the front. Tine one on the roof is composed of bronze and circular in form, with an amber bead ln the center, which is surrounded with exquisitely designed and delicately formed inter- lacing. There were several smaller amber and glass beads inlaid or in- serted here and there in the bronze ornaments in order to embellish the in- terlacing. In tho two bronze interlaced ornaments, on the ends of the shrine, were inserted two beads of translucent glass. From the style of art displayed in the ornamcntation of this very inter- esting reliquary, it cannot be older than the ninth, and certainly not later than the eleventh century.

LA GRIPPE !N CHINA.
Ten Thousand Persons Succumb to the
 Disease in One Bay.

Ten Thousand Persons Succumb to the
 Disease in One Bay.
 The grip has swept over the Chinese empire and hundreds of thousands of natives have gone down before the dread disease. It was in February that the grip invaded the denscly populated nation, and during the thirty days it's ravagcs were felt the death rate in creased to enormous proportions.
 An American, who is in the Chinese customs service at WhampOa, was at Whampoa at the time tho grip was car rying away the Celestials by the thou sands.
 "The Chinese did not know what dis case had broken out in their midst, and hundreds of the natives know were frightened to death," said he. "The Chinese physicians were unable to say what disease was causing the eror- nous increase in the death rate, and the result was a panic. The Mongolians imagined the evil spirit was demonstrat- ing his wrath by sending a plague among them. and in order to head off the wicked fellows intentions they went through the streets of all the large cities beating drums. The intcn- ton was to drum the evil spirit out of the country.
 At Whampoa, which is ten miles from Canton, the natives became so alarmed that they took down the big drum which was built in the Joss house there. and thousands of people marched through the streets after the huge in- strument. which was being pounded all the time by four or five husky China men. From that time or the death rate decreased, and the superstitious i'm agined the disease had been drummed away.
 II talked with several American physicians who were travelling through tho country and they said the disease was the grip. The symptoms were cX- actly the same as the people who were afflicted in this country expert cnccd. During one week in Canton at the time thc disease was doing the most harm fully ten thousand people in that city alone were buried"

"KicSED BY THE SUM-"
The Red-Haired Maiden Is Fit to Be
 Queen or Devil.


 Queen or Devil.
 Did you ever stop to think how few red-haired people there arc in the world? Take any town, for instance, of three thousand or four thousand population, and cut of that number thcre will be only between one hundred and two hundred whose heads are rcd, and by ''red heads I mean those of Q tint vary ing from sandy to dark auburn. So you see that . red head is really rara avis, and should be appreciated as such, says a writer in the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette.
 All Indian tribes pay homage to ruddy locks, and never venture to lay vcndaI hands on them. regarding the posses sors of such as children of the sun, > hence objects of veneration, not to be rudely violated or suddenly scalped. The members of some savage tribes, found in heathen countries, where the sun, moon and stars are worshiped, have been known to fall down in awe some homage at the feet of belated traveller, mumbling them and kissing 
 his boots, expecting every moment to be slaughtered. The frightened trav- eler could, with difficulty, be made to understand that his head, the bane of his childhood, the never-ending butt of ridicule in maturcr years. had not only saved his life, but made him worthy to be god
 In many countries red hair in itself entities a woman to the claim of beauty. In Italy the most bcauti- ful women and the deprGved have possessed locks ''sun-kisscd by the sun." Lucretia Dorgia, whose name is the synonym of horror, was red-haired. Cleopatra, Antony's cOnqueror, had hair which gleamcd like furnished cop per in the sun, ''and skin, which shone like pearl, so white, so white." In other words, she was a seductive, pas sion-enthralling auburn-haircd woman, of such a type as could only have be- witched and turned poor Antony from the path of virtue and duty. None of your cOmmonplace-brown-haircd, darl-cycd lassics, nor your insipid languid, bluc-cyed, blonde-loclzcd maid ems, nor the black ones, with their swarthy skins and jct-lillc eyes, would have had tho power.
 The dcv:!, when he wished to tempt the pious hermit in his lonely desert, when all his other arts and wiles had failed, took the form of woman ''clothcd only with vail of darkest rcd hair,'' which ''twincd and twisted" '" we arc told, like snakes of copper" curling themselves about tho poor mans neck and breast like things alive" while her crstwhile1cheekS got passion-nushcd against his own.
 Curi0usly enough, although tho arch type of intense passion is red hair, it is also tho type of the highest purity. We have it from JosephuS, as well as from sacred narrative, that the Saviour had curling auburn locks, Q singulariy clear white skin and tender. soulful eyes of gray. His virgin mother was, also, auburn-haired. So the two extremes moot

THE TUNNEL SEEMED LONG.
X Postal Clerks Perilous Ride In the
 StiiliDg L3rkn SS.

A thrilling experience, although not ending fatally, was had by a railway mail clerk who acted as distributor on a local train, says tho Washington Star. He had car to himself, and at one sta- tion up in the Alleghany mountains had left his car for minute or two to run forward to the engine, which was talk ing water. The water tank was direct ly west of the great tunnel, and when the tender was filled and the train started the clerk sprang for his car. The entrance to the car was on the side and solitary handle was grasped, whereby the clerk pulled himseH up to the door. To his horror he found that the door had been jared shut and could not be opened from tho outside, and the second that he discovered this fact the train shot into the tunnel. With des- peration born of a terrible death star ing him in the face the clerk hammered and kicked on the door and shrieked aloud for help, but the noise of the train drowned his cries, and with both hands grasping the handle, his feet on the iron step and his body glued to the side of the car, for fear of being dashed off by the jagged sides, he was carried through the tunnel.
 As the tunnel was mile long and the atmosphere therein is almost stifing this luclzlcss mail clerks experience
 can be better imagined than described. When the train shot into daylight again the engineer looked back, as is the GUS tom, to sec if his train was following all right, and discovered the clerk in his narrowing position. Quickly stop ping his engine the engineer ran back, and with the assistance of the conduct or helped the almost demented man to the ground, where he utterly collapsed, the strain upon his nerves being too great. For six months he was under physicians care, and, after he had be- come a well man again, he said: 'I thought that tunnel was ten miles long, and my head, 1 imagined, was hollow, with the dense smol1o rushing in my mouth and nostrils and coming out of my ears like steam pipes. Whenever I think of that ride my brain reels and I feel myself crouching as I did upon the outside of the car during that hor- rifying experience"

Insurance Terms.

A prominent life insurance man, addressing the alumni of Bellevue med ical college in New York the other day, gave them some pointers" on making out proofs of death for insurance com panics. ''Whcn you are absolutely stuck" he said. ''say it's the grip. Don't say it's malaria-I think the pub lie has caught on to that. When man dies of delirium tremens put it down as congestion of the brain and if he dies from drunllard's liver call it 'cirrhosis.

A Built-TD Shoe.

The latest device is the ''instep pad. 7 'sWhat is that?" the uninitiated inquire. Why, a passport to the claim of aris. tocracy-it is to make perfect foot. An aristocratic, high instep to the wom- en unfortunate enough to possess a ''low- bred" foot. It is simply little linen pad, says the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch, fitted directly over the inster at tho place where, like old Uncle Ned's hair, the instcp ought to be, but isn't. Shoemakcrs are preparing to keep a stock of these high insteps with the moderately low heels now demanded by sense and fashion. It is next to i'm possible to get shoe with a high in step, except one made on what is known as the Spanish last" A ridicu- lously high heel is part of the make up of these shoes.

 On one occasion, lately, writes J. A.

So violent bcccLac the debate, that both suddenly ovcr5alGnced a1I fell into the stream beneath.

One look was cnouEh. h went he of the shaggy coat, and. scizing the other dog by the collar, brought his late enemy safely to land. The two dogs then eyed each other with a7pcrfcctiy in3cscri0able eXpres- sion for some seconds, then silently and solemnly wa~gcd their caudal append ages, and with dignity departed.

Assault and Burglary.

About nine o'clock last night, Antonio
Cara, an aged Mexican woman living at
the corner of n. East and Obraje streets
returned home and found her front door
open. She entered and was about to
strike match when powerful man be-
gan to kick her numerically, until the
woman escaped on the street calling for
help. The intruder also escaped from
the house, but was caught by Officers
Perez and Jas. Brown while running
down East street.
The intruder proved to be young
colored boy, Scott Robinson, son of old
Scott Robinson, the grave digger. He was
caught hatless by the police and his hat
was found on the scene of the assault.
The old woman, who had lived on that
street for most sixty years, was badly
beaten up, the burglar kicking her under
the chin, just as she was lighting a
match on the floor. He was taken to the
county jail on the charge of aggravated
assault and for burglary.
