The Nonito-, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered
this case two years ago, and published it at
length, which now seems, owing to the cure
of It, to be miracle. The facts were so
remarkable that many people doubted the
truth of them. They said: "Jt is too re-
markable; it cannot possibly be true; the
paper Is mistaken, and the man, altnougn

The accuracy of its report called in ques--

The Bulgarians.

Since 1877 the country has been at
peace, save for few trifling frontier
disturbances, and a generation of young
men has grown up who never have
seen shot fired in anger. More
over, the old cause Of anger against
the Turks has been removed, for it Is
no longer Turkish soil that Montene-

times when the man who wanted
money or arms had only to cross the
frontier into Albania and take them;
and they still pray that they may have
a chance of striking another blow.
All the men, young and old, are Or
ganized and armed as soldiers; no man
ever leaves his house without a loaded
pistol in his belt; in fact, the uniform
consists of the pistol and the red cap
bearing the Princes initial. For the
rest all wear much the same costume,
viz: a tight red or grenn jacket, cuE-
nirsly embroidered by an Albanian
tailor and often adorned with gold
buttons, loose blue knickerbocker3,
white CATERS and sheepskin sandals
and bright silk sash wound round
and round the waist to support the
