Prince Nicholas OF Montenegro was
obliged to follow Peter the Greats exam
pie in order to make his subjects work ut
all. The naughty Montcncgrins have from
time imnenorlal been accustomed to look
down upon the mechanic arts of industry
ms vile and degrading. Prince Nicholas
bcsought thom with I'LL his elouuoncc to
learn tho necessary arts Of life, but all In
vain. He used every method, including
tho "argumentum baculinum," or 'pa-
ternal" method, with II stick, to which the
great Peter was SO addicted Even this
argument fell fiat Then the prince tucked
up his sleeves, betook himself to n smithy
aud hammered iron for day. This method
proved eGectual The Montenegrins came
to tho conclusion that tho work of the
smithy was not Incompatible with their
dignity. Shoemeking, however, thoy could
not be induced to look upon us other than
degrading. Persuasion falling, tho mon
arch turned cobbler This was too much
for the Montenegrlns. When they saw him
put his hand to the waxed thread and the
shoe leather, his faithful licges gathered
round upon their knees and besought him
not to sully his royal fingers by touching
tho accursed thing. Beat us ALL" they
cried, "only do not do yourself such dis
honor. Tho prince paid no attention
and worked till nightfall. Next day the
cobblc-s' shops were full OF Montcncgrlns
eager to enroll themselves us apprentices
to the trade which Nicholas had onnobled

Kissing In the Streets,

Helmagen, Roumanian country town
of 200 Inhabitants, holds Its annual fair
on the feast of st. Theodore.
On this occasion tho place swarms with
newly married. brides from some 60 to so
villages in tho district, though widows
who have taken fresh husbands remain ut
home.
The young women, in festive attire and
generally attended by their mothers in
law, carry jugs Of wine inwreathed with
flowers In their hands
They kiss almost every man they meet.
and aftsrward present the Jug to his lips
The individual thus RECALLED bestows a
small gift on the fair bride.
Not to partake Of the proffered wine ia
regarded as an insult to the young wife
and her family. She Is therefore reserved
toward strangers, and only kisses those
whom she thinks likely to taste her wine.
The origin of this custom is not known.
Some say that it dates back 10 the time
when the Turks made frequent raids into
Transylyanin and carried away all the
young women on whom they could lay
hands.
Such of them as contrived to escape from
captivity, happening to return to Helmagen
at the time OF the fair, kissed their friends
and relatives and even strangers who con-
gratulated them on their wonderful deliy-
