QUEEN NATALIE EXLLEO.
She Yields to Superior Force and is
Driven out OF Scrvia.

After a consultation of ministers and
regents it was decided to cXpel Natalie
from Scrvia ald instructions to that
effect were given the police, \ strong
force of gendarmes made Il fresh attack
on the queens palace and succeeded in
breaking through the Gordon OF stu
dents and citizens guarding Natalie.
After sharp fight the gendarmeS sue
caeded in entering the palace. The
geDdarmes then forced their way into
Natalie's bedroom and Summoned her
to arise as she must Immediately
leave Servian serritOry. The queen
calmly replied that she would yield to
force and requested the students who
had so gallantly defended her to make
10 further resistance. The queen was
then allowed to dress herself and after
bidding adieu TO the leaders Of her de-
tenders. during which the most touch
ing scenes were witne sscd, the eXilcd
queen was escorted 10 a private ear
riage which was waiting at tho palace
entrance and was hastily drawn 10 the
railroad station followed by the cheers
of students and citizens of Belgrade,
whose enthusiasm had to be kept in
bonds by an overwhelming display Of
troops who lined the entire route 10
the railroad station. At the station
special train was in waiting and the
queen was Immediately conveyed on
board. No sooner was the queen and
her personal baggage aboard than tic
train left the depot for the Hungarian
frontier. The populace are cnragcd
against the minister OF war, Col. Mil
sites, who it is understood has been the
most active of the ministers in insist
ing that Natalie should be expelled.
The popular feeling against him is 50
great that it is probable he will be
compelled to tender his resignation.
In the fight which took place between
the gendarmes, who attacked the stu
dents and citizens defending the queens
palace, ono man was killed and fifty,
more or less, severely wounded.

~ WAY OF SUGGESTION.

Mrs. Grundy: The clergymen who preach
the shortest sermons often make the best
impression.
A Tennessee man came to Rev. Sam
Jones and said he would like TO be saved.
Sam looked him over and then exclaimed:
You're not worth it!''
A Michigan judge caught two lawyers
taking nip from a bottle in the court
room during n trial. II cost them $50
each for the fracture OF the courts dignity.
III you are n smoker and don't own y
cigar case carry your cigars in your upper
vest pocket on the left with the mouth end
downward is the advice of a Chicago to
bacconist. 'Tho constant motion of your
right arm Is sure to crush the tobacco and
loosen the wrapper If the cigars be on the
right 81 lie, and the result is more readily
attained with the match end down"
In connection with the equipment foi
fire protection, IL is recommended that
gallon pail filed with fine sand, be always
placed within convenient reach of each
workman. This practice might well be
followed wherever there is possibility OF
fire starting in oils or oil-soaked materials,
There is nothing which will squelch fire in
its incipien,y more quickly and effect
ualiy than sand, and there are no after
claps in the way of water damage, either.

SOME ANCIENT BELIEFS.
Medieval English Ideas as to tho Cause
md Cure of ynrlous Dlseascs,

aud Cure of Various Diseases.
The curious beliefs Of the medi1val
English ms to tho cause and cure OF
various diseases were often more shock
ing than absurd, II such could be pos
sible, says tho st. Louis Republic, A
ring made OF the hinge or handle OF a
coffin was credited with tho power OF
relieving cramps, which also received
u solnce when u rusty old sword was
hung up by the patients bedside.
Nails driven into IN oak tree were not
cure but preventive OF toothache.
a halter which had been used In hang
ing murderer when bound around
tho temples was said to be an infalliblo
remedy for hea6nche, A dead mans
hand could dispel tumors of the glands
by stroking tho parts nine times with
il, but the hand OF man who had
boon hanged and then cut down from
the gallows by maiden was II remedy
infinitely moro cillcacious. Some OF
these remedies still exist among the
superstitious poor OF the provinces,
but are not now strictly adhered 10,
To euro warts, for an instance, the
best thing to do Is to steal piece Of
beef from tho butcher, with which tina
warts arc 10 be rubbed, after which
tho meat Is to be interrpd in sandy
soil; w tho process of decomposition
goes on the warts will wither and
finally disappear.
The chips OF n gallows upon which
several persons had been hanged was
also ono OF tho items In medinyal
materia medica; these, when worn in
n bag around the neck, were pro-
nouncod nm infallible cure for nguc.
The nightmare, supposed OF course 90
be- the result Of something supornatu-
raj was banlshcd by means of II stone
with hole In IT, which was every
night suspended ut the head of the
sufferers bed, This last remedy went
by tho name OF "hug-stone,n because
II prevented the witches from coming
and sitting on the patients stomach.
Tho witches which from popular pict-
urcs could not have sat upon II horse
moment, were credited with riding
them across tho moors Mt II break

night when better disposed and less
frisky persons were asleep. In cases

TEN MILLION DIMES PUT AWAY.
Eject OF the Craze About the Pock
CO savings hanks


A treasury official, speaking OF the
embarrassment tho dime pocket saw
ings banks are causing the treasury
department, is quoted rs saying that
il is estimated that there are $40, 000,-
900 in dimes hidden away in these
pocket banks to-da and there APP
pears 20 be no way Of drawing upon
this reserve until the bank Is glutted
TO its full capa ,ity 1t is getting to
be craze.
II was coming down the other day
on horse ear, he said land an old
lady pulled one Of these toy depositor-
les out of hcr silk hand bag and eau
tiously slipped two dimes into its
mouth, the exact change she had re-
ceived from tho conductor. Ordinari-
ly this ancient female would have
paid her fare in tickets. but she had
the craze and wanted the change.
Why. every other woman in the build
ing has u bank, and lots Of the men,
too. There are thousand dime
banks in active operation in this de-
partmeut alone. and thousands in the
other departments 10, 900 more in the
hands Of Washington children. and
every one Of them has wide-open
mouth yawning TO devour the fraction
al coin"
II is estimated that seventy-iiye per
cent Of the dimes that were in circu-
lation three months ago in the city
have been banked in these little tubu-
lar repositories, and the cry is for
more.
The craze has affected other cities
too. Baltimore, New York, Philadel-
phia and other commercial towns are
sorcly put to it for change of this unit
of value. This demand is giving the
bank cashiers and subtreasurers a
great deal OF worry, for il requires
three expert clerks Il whole day TO
count $40. 600 in this sort OF money.

The threshing season is over and machines are being pulled in from the ranches to be stored. They have been running steadily for three months, and have turned out an inn mense amount of grain. Just how much is not obtainable at present, as owners have not yet figured up the amounts. They say the yield has been in many cases far larger than last year, and they are we'll satisfied with their season's work.
