slavs. Czechs, Ruthenians.

The unity Of the Slavs is hardly more
than an ethnographioal abstraction. For
political purposes it is nonexistent.
Thus, the Poles are not Ozechs, although
both are Slavs; they speak different
tongues, the former possessing rich
literature, the latter very poor one;
their political history has little in COM
mon and as lately as four years ago the
Poles were allied with the Germans
against their brothers, the Czechs. The
Ruthenians, who are also Slavs, have
no great love for the Czechs while they
utterly loathe the Poles and their Ian.
guage is very different indeed from that
OF either of the other two people. as are
also their alphabet (they use Russian
oharacters) and their religion. The
Czech idiom is to the Ruthenian as Ger
man is to English or as French is to
Roumanian. Then come the Croatians,
who are not only Slavs but the very
purest specimens Of the race, and they
would feel mortally offended if they
were confounded with any Of the fore
going.
The Slovenians, whose very name
proclaims them to be Slavs, would be
less wrathful at such a mistake, prob
ably because their very backward state
CT civilization would lead them to re-
gard it as compliment. But they differ
in many respects from Czechs, Poles,
Ruthenians and Croatians. Nothing,
however, could characterize the situa-
tion more satisfactorily than the cir
oumstance that whenever -Slavonic
conference is convoked the chosen rep
resentatives Of the various Slavic Sec
tions are forced to converse with each
other in German Thus, the Slavs Of
Austria Hungary are not united by the
bond of religion, history, language, lit
erature or identical political aspirations.

Pig Sticking.

The queen sport Of India is wild boar
spearing, commonly called pig sticking
This is on horseback, and the boar often
takes the hunt and the field over such
stiff country with SO many blind ra-
vines that accidents are reduced to q
certainty. The Bengal boar, being nur-
tured on sugar cane and other crops.
illicitly consumed, is we'll fed and short
tempered. After galloping for bit at
full speed his breath fails him, and he
resolves to stop and fight. Elsewhere
the boar, being less fed and in better
running condition, goes farther, and in
some places he will give the field long
run, just as fox does in England. In
all cases the mode of fighting is the
same.
The boar is wounded by spear after
spear as the we'll mounted riders come
up with him. Then he suddenly stops
and "squats, as the phrase goes-that
is to say, he turns round, sits on his
hind quarters and faces the horsemen
with his mighty snout armed with the
protruding tusks. The next step on
either side may depend on various cir
cumstances, demanding all the quail
ties OF the best sportsman, but anyhow
there is crisis. If the boar charges he
may be stopped by the horseman spear.
II that fails, then the horse is probably
lost, being ripped up by one twist or
turn of the tusk. If the horseman on
rolling over, is caught by the boar, then
ne may be killed in the same way. But
that is not likely, because the boar,
after ripping up the horse rushes on
madly without waiting to deal with

The Festival.

The festival under the auspices of the
Choral Union is well under way, and a
large chorus has been rehearsing faith
fully since Monday night in preparation
for the concerts tomorrow and Friday
afternoon and evening.
A musical success is assured, beyond
question; and the support given by our
people should be so substantial as to en-
sure financial success also.

Courageous Hindoos.


In some things the natives of Bengal
and Behar are wonderfully courageous,
and the bravest deed that ever wit
messed was performed in the coolest
manner possible by two of my own do
mestio servants. One morning while
seated in the veranda of my bungalow
mad jackal rushed through the grounds
and went under raised goodwin, which
was close to the bungalow. I left the
veranda for my gun, and on my return
l discovered two Of my servants armed
with hog spears creeping under the 60
down until they came within striking
distance of the jaokal, when they quick
ly transfxed him with their spears The
offer of blank check on the Bank of
England would not have induced me to
act in the way that these brave fellows
did.
An old mihtar (sweeper), a man of
the lowest caste in my service, who was
nearly bent double with age, was the
smartest hand at killing a venomous
snake that ever knew. The old fellow
used to sit up at night in the fowlhouse
for the purpose of destroying the cobras
that came after the eggs, and one morn.
ing before dawn stepped into the We.
randa of my bungalow in time to see
him pulling KARAT out of hole with
one hand, which grasped the reptiles
tail, while in the other hand was held
a stick, which promptly descended on
the karait's head as soon as it appeared
in view. 1t was all done very neatly
and smartly and as quietly as if the old
man had been crushing beetle. Glen.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Kipling was given his odd Christian
name because it was that OF the En-
glish village where his father first met
his mother, Mary Mcdonald.
Ex-senator Sawyer Of Wisconsin,
who recently celebrated his SD birth
day, Is still active in politics and looks
much younger than he really Is.
The queen Of Roumania is adding to
her many accomplishments that Of

wide gifts. and plays many instru-
ments.
The death has occurred Of Sarah Le-
man, aged 81 years, who has been an

house for Sc years. During that long
period she has never left the house.
and her maintenance cost tho taxpay-

The duke Of York is a most devoted

Prince Edwards many questions, and
more often than not has a new toy IN

a theory in favor of teaching children
by means of toys and games.
Capt. Wellby, young cavalry officer,
recently spent furlough in trudgtng
1000 miles through Thibet, from Leb

his party did not meet a single human
being, and rarely saw any vegetation

LITERARY NOTES,

George W. Cable is busy on 4 novsa
OF the civil war, which no expect. 20
call The Cavalier" Most OF the char
acsers are New Orleans creoles and tho
scenes Of the tale are in the reEion
Just north Of New Orleans.
1t Is surely one OF "life's little iron
les that the great laughtermaker,
Max Adeler, whose real name is
Charles Heber Clark, a man with q
worldwide reputation as humorist,
should sit in the office of the Textile
record and write ponderous editorials
about the exports Of the last fiscal year,
the protective tariff, free trade, pig iron
and the currency. He is stanch tee
totaler, but great smoker, and he
lives In the country at Conshohocken,
where he is at the head Of a great firm
or manufacturing chemists.
Apropos Of Mr.. Kipling's new book
a good story is being told of him. Re-
Gently he sold book to his publisher
at rate that worked out to a shilling
word. The publication of this fact
came under the notice of London
newspaper humorist, who, "for the fun
OF the thing" wrote to the author say
ing that, as wisdom seemed to be quot
ed at retail prices, he himself would
like one word, for which he enclosed
a shilling postal order. The reply
came, in due course; Mr.. Kipling had
kept the shilling postal order and po-
litely returned (written on a large
sheet Of paper the word "Thanks!'
Marian Crawford's new book is cave
Roma Immortalis: Studies from the
Chronicles of Rome" in two volumes.
He begins with brief historical study
OF the rise Of Rome, with sketches of
some of the great men who made
her greatness, and afterward takes
the fourteen different regions
or wards into which the city
was divided in medieval times
and goes through them, one after
another, describing the characteristic
buildings Of each as they have been in
different ages and as we see them now
and giving the histories of the people
who lived and fought and loved and
died in them.
The upper part of the arms Of wo-
nan should be large, full and well
rounded. The forearm should not lie
too fiat. A dimple at the elbow is
very desirable. Correctness of form is
not the most necessary thing for a
good arm. The owner should also
possess the power Of expression and
here is word of advice-the slowest
movements are always the prettiest.
People are most likely to catch cold
in the back than they are generally
aware of and if neglected may prove
a serious matter. The back, especially
between the shoulders, should always
be kept we'll covered and never lean
with your back against anything that
is cold. Never sit with your back in a
direct draught and when warming it
by the fire do not continue to keep the
back exposed to the heat after it has
become comfortably warm. To do so
Is facilitating,

WAR DEPARTMENT INQUIRY.

s NEW YORK, Nov. &c. The Rev. Gal
loupe, chaplain Of the Ninth Infantry,
said he saw no confusion at Tampa,
and his regiment arrived in Cuba in
good condition. There was no sick
ness on board. He declared there was
no hardship in sleeping in the open
air in Cuba. He did SO several nights
from choice. DR.. Lesser, of the Red
Cross, said the wounded were promptly
attended to and the surgeons generally
acted splendidly. AS far as he knew
none of the sick suffered for lack of
medicine, but there was a scarcity of
food for the sick. He said there were
more deaths of yellow fever conva-
lescents from over-feeding than from
the effects of the disease itself.
New YORK. Nov. 21.-W. II. BALD
win, Jr., president of the Long Island
railroad, said there was no rel
scarcity of water at Montauk. and no
delay in the carriage OF troops and
commissary supplies. A letter was
received by the commission from
Robert B. Roosevelt, secretary of the
committee Of the Society for the Pro-
lection of Soldiers. Mr.. Roosevelt,
commenting upon the fact that one
of the commissioners had found fault
with witnesses for failing to fix the
blame for the bad conditions shown
to have existed, says that the commits
sion was appointed for the purpose of
fixing the responsibility. He declares
the witnesses "have esta blished mon
strous incapacity," and adds that the
public expects the commission to locate
the blame and correct it.
BosToN, Nov. 30-Corporal Kenilds
said he was wounded in three places
at the battle of Ell Caney. He was not
found for two days afterward. Eight
days afterward he went on board the
Olivette. Did not get his wounds
dressed until he reached Long Island.
DR.. Cabot said the hospitals in Porto
Rico We're admirable. Private Hous-
ton, of the Seventh infantry, wounded
at Ell Caney, said men in the hospital
at Siboney suffered terribly. Food for
sick patients was very scarce and could
not be secured unless the patients pur-
chased it. He heard many men in adj
jacent tents call ont for water only to
be told to ''shut-up." One of the
wounded died after calling for water
in this way. After ten days at Siboney
he went on board the City of Wash
ington and was there treated very we'll.
