THE BULGARIANS.
Men Who Always Go Prepared for
War.

Since 1877 the country has been at
peace, save for a few trifling frontier
disturbances, and a generation of
young men has grown up who have
never seen a shot fired in anger. Move
over, the old cause of anger against the
Turk has been removed, for it is no
longer Turkish soil that Montenegro
eoyets. Yet the old men who stride up
and down the street of Cettinie in gor-
geous raiment, their silllen belts bris-
Ting with pistol and knife, still talk Of
nothing but the good old times when
the man who wanted money or arms
had only TO cross the frontier into Al
bania and take them; and they still
pray that they may have chance of
striking another blow.
All the men, young and old, arc or
gained 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 initials. For the
rest, all wear much the same costume
viz, a tight red or green jacket, cum
ningly embroidered by an Albanian
tailor, and often adorned with gold
buttons, loose blue knickerbockers,
white CATERS and sheepsllin sandals
and bright silk sash wound round and
round the waist TO support tie leather
cartridge bag, the pistol and the yat-
Afghan; over all, for full dress, a long
tunic of white or green, ead in wet or
cold weather a narrow plaid thrown
across the shoulders. 4 man going on n
journey always carries his rife, as well,
slung across his back; but times have
changed since n man living near the
frontier never left his house for work
or play without his loaded musket--

SORRY HE TOLD AN OLD STORY.
Why nm Unpretentious Little Man Got
"a bad Fall.

lie was a small, inoffensiye man. He
always smiled, as though to disarm
criticism, and he had an ambition. He
wanted to shine as am entertaining
story teller, He was harmless crank
One day he entered a grocery store,
and was delighted to Sc that an audi
ence waited him. He dropped down
upon a cracker box and bided his time.
The men were laughing and telling
jokes. They spoke with rough famil-
iarity, and with a certain good COM
radeship which the little man envied.
He had never been able to carry that
manner He was timid, and the effort
at ease was apparent.
Bravely he put in word, however.
The men stared at him. Wondering at
HIS own temerity, the little man piped
out:
THAT reminds me of the man who
bought some new pants. He took them
am inch and a half shorter; she was too
busy, and said so; and he asked his sis
ter; she was too busy, and he asked his
mother-in-law, and she was too busy.
SO he gave it up and hung his pants in
the closet; and then his wife got sorry
and fixed them; and his sister got sorry,
too, and she went and got the pants and
cut them off; and his mother-in-law got
sorry, and she cut those pants off, too,
and when the man went to put them
on, why they came half way up to his
knees. Ha! Hal"
The little man told the story all in
one breath, because he was so fright
ened; and then, besides, he thought
they would have to listen, anyway.
After the last hysterical ha, ha, he
looked at his audience. The men were
looking at him very hard and their ex-
pressions were not friendly. The lit
tie man was crestfallen and embar-
assed. The he began to wish he had not
told that story. His valor deserted him.
One Of the men arose and said
"Say, fellers, amt that one of the old
est ehestnuts you ever heard?"
'You bet!" was the unanimous re-
sponse.
Lets throw him out!" the first man
continued.
The little man dashed for the door,
bitter regret and modification in his
heart. Before he could make his un-
dignified exit, however, he was helped
over the threshold by an unfriendly
booted foot.
SPRAYING in the gutter, he said to
himself:
81 have been telling that story for
ten years and this is the first time il has
ever been called a chestnut" 49, ST.

HE EATS NO SALT.
Capt. Poindexter. L. 8. A., Experiment
ing on Himself to Prove His Theory.

saSalt is not necessary, either as foed
or condiment," said Capt. j. D. Poin-
dexter, assistant surgeon in the United
States army, who is stationed at Fort
Hamilton. AS matter of fact, | have
found by experiment upon myself that
| can eat entirely saItless food with
more relish than usual and with no bad
results. In doing this substitute the
various vegetable condiments-suga
pepper, horse radish, spices, cranberry
sauce, pickles, vinegar, olive oil, etc, for
salt. When nothing is substituted
find that there is some discomfort in
the stomach l have been experiment..
ing upon myself since December 6 last,
Some of my friends have been doing
so also to less extent.
"The question arises, supposing it
to be true that salt is not necessary
either as food or al a continent, does
not the irritant poison, circulating as
it does, through the blood, throughout
the whole body, beget an irritation or
a sensitiveness of the tissues, and so
cause a tendency to disease in general?
Since | have foregone the use of salt |
find myself better both physically and
mentally than | ever was before. One
observation that / have made in my
case is that my senses of taste and
hearing have become more acute than
before to very marked extent. | have
experienced many other improvements
that l will not yet speak of. Anyone
wishing to try this experiment on him
self will find that there is no danger,
provided he uses vegetable condiments
as heretofore noted. He should go
about it somewhat gradually, however
and in case any especially bad symp-
toms are threatened he may return to
the use of salt. 1t is my belief that per
sons with a tendency to stoutness by
systematic disuse of salt will be CRATE
ful for the result and effects
THE broad hypothesis that mineral
matter (by which l mean that derived
directly from the EARTH is, if not poi
sonous, at any rate unassimilable and
unnecessary for cur bodies. / am not
vegetarian. | eat some meats, but
much more vegetable matter than be
fore beginning my experiment, Hav-
ing little thirst, l accordingly drink
very little fluid matter of any kind.
Fresh fish, saltless eggs, milk and oat-
meal, apples and bananas appease my
appetite very we'll and find that salt
less corn is especially good. To show
that have not suffered from voluntary
abstenton from salt ii is only necessary
to say that l weigh 157 pounds, and
have peaceful sleep of TX hours every
night. I propose TO continue my ex-
pertinent simply in the interest of pub
lie health right TO the end,"-N, Y. Sun.

SONG OF THE DRUM.

Do ron hear my summons hammer thro'
the crackle and the clamor,
Do you feel my throb and thrill2
When l meet the smell of powder, oh, my
merry note grows louder.
And my song shall not be still.
Follow, each beside his fellow meath the
vapors gray and yellow,
Wildly cheering, sternly, dumb,
And rumble, rumble, rumble. when the
smoke wreaths toss and tumble.
You shall hear the rolling drum. Fol-
low the drum!
Men forget their fears and folltes as they
face the binding volleys,
And the young recruits they come,
With their simple sunburnt faces, from
the quiet country places,
To the call of me, the drum.
Come, plowboy, lad and carter, and your
life blood freely barter,
For the bullet sure for some,
And rattle, rattle, rattle through the din
and roar of battle,
You shall hear the rolling drum. Fol-
low the drum
When the boys that follow fast there,
drop aside and fall at last there,
From the surging lines of red
Then no more of pomp and ruflie, my notes
awhile l mufIle,
And | moan and mourn the dead
But the losing battle needs me, and the
whistling bullet speeds me;
Through the reellng ranks I come,
And elatter, clatter, clatter, where the
broken regiment scatter
You shall hear the rolling drum Fol-
low the druml

SIMPLE BEDROOMS.
Much Upholstery IL Not in Good
Taste.

InSte.
It is a mistake to decorate any room
too deliberately, and it is no longer
the fashion to do so. A bedroom should
be simply furnished on the score of
health as well as good taste The i'm
purities thrown off in sleep should have
10 worsted hanging or elaborate up
holstery to which they can cling. 1t
is OF the first Importance in a bedroom
that the air be pure and fresh. This
is impossible where there is a display
Of tawdy worsted upholstery.
The room should be neatly and cheer
fully furnished. Delicate colors are
therefore most suitable. Some of the
prettiest bedrooms furnished recently
have been in tones of pale sea-green
and cream color. The walls were pa
ptred in a delicate conventional de-
sign in pale sea-green. a deep frieze
in still lighter tint of the same color
finished the wall The ceiling was
calsomined in paler tint of the
same color. The decorator described
il as treated in distemper," consider
ing this phrase more elegant, though
less descriptive, than "kalsomined.'
The floor of this pretty room was COW
cred with olive mating, over which in
expensive japanese jute rugs in sub
dued colors were thrown. The ode
scente du it," or rug in front Of the
bed was a white goatslin that cost
less than three dollars The furniture
OF the room was white maple, and
consisted of bedstead, simple low
dressing table, with a mirror; high
chest of drawers without a mirror,
pretty desk a rocker and other chairs
and a small shelf for books. Curtains
Of creamy muslin draped the windows
and a coverlet Of India wash silk in
a delicate tint of pale green covered the
bed and was finished simply at the
sides with ruffles about nine inches

Keeping Warm Preserves Beauty.
1t is the advice of an authority to
those who would grow plump and pre-
serve their compleXions to keep warm.
Many a woman has gone through life
shivering and plain, when she might
have been comfortable and pretty if she
had only known it. There is mistaken
notion, which obtains considerable
credence, that the lightest underwear
and bed covering that one can get along
with contributes toughening effect
that is valuable. This is only true when
the reverse practice is carried to ex-
tremes. A skin specialist says that the
permanent roughness Of some women's
uecks and arms came i'm the beginning
from continued chillness. What is
known as goose flesh condition Of the
skin existed so constantly that II he
came permanent. If you belong 10 the
thin, pinched sisterhood, make 1t a
business TO wear warm, light clothing
ard keep yourself in big, luxurious
chairs, or in a nest of dowuy pillows

FOOD FOR THE LASCARS.
Queer Assortment Which n Ship Cap
tain Has to Give.

tain Hrs 10 tive.
Stakeholder Mahomed Cassum is the
leading sarang on the British steamer
Trentham Hall. One day lately in his
native tongue he conyersed with Chief
Officer Haddy, who handles IIindoo-
stani with the grace of a native, and
talked of food required by the articles
signed by him and 81 other Lascars,
who make up the crew of the Trentham
Hall.
Shaboodeen gave it out that for the
next 81 days his countrymen on board
would observe the month of fasts by
eating but one meal day and that in
the evening. The other fasts kept with
the religious fervor of the Mussulman
is Ramzan and Mahoram, the latter be
ing In remembrance of the death of
Hassan and Husson, sons of Mahomet.
To feed the pagan appetites on board
Capt. Black has to provide as follows
each day for each Lascar:
One pound and half of rice.
Eight ounces of dial Qentils1.
Four ounces Of ghee, native butter
made of mutton fat, When ghee cannot
be supplied oleomargarine is used and
is the most favorite substitute for ghee.
Salt without limit, although eight
drachms is marked on the articles.
One ounce of curry.
Eight ounces of dried fish at sea.
Two ounces of sugar.
One ounce of tamarind, to mix with
curry.
-Four draehms of tea.
One ounce of lime juice.
One pound of potatoes.
Four ounces of fresh meat.
-Four ounces of onions.
Live sheep must be provided. The
killing of the sheep is done in a sacri-
fetal manner and must not be touched
by Christian hands.
All cooking is done by members OF
the crew, for whom a separate galley is
provided, that there may be no contact
with the food of those on board who are
not children of the prophet
Religious exercises are not frequent.
One who is the superior of his brethren
In education reads to the assembled
crew each night in the forecastle selee
tions from the Koran. He can also
read and understand English.
In the port the Lascars work from
seven a. m. till five p. m in cold weather,
and when in England from eight a. m.
till 4:30 p. IN. Contrary to all sea
routine, they are employed on deck by
day only. At night, with the exception
of serving as the lookout for two-hour
periods, the deck is under charge of the
officer on watch and the quartermas-
tiers, all of whom are Irishmen. OF
course, a sudden need for help calls out
the Lascars, which rarely happens Be
sides this, the Lascars enjoy half day
off duty on Saturday and all day Sun
day, the small duties required being of
course, attended to.
When asked if his countrymen drank
spirits, Shaboodeen gave a smile pc
culiar TO the uuobtrusive son of Ma
ho1net, but said nothing. Mr.. Haddy
has found after ten years experience
with them that the Lascar will drink
anything offered him when he is not
expected to pay for it. But even with
this Christian vice, the LaScars are
. sober men, who faithfully perform their
duty and never give any trouble to Off
GERS or to each other They ship for
one year, generally, about Bombay and
Calcutta, and they must be returned to
their own port without expense TO
themselves. The British board of trade
has thrown safeguards about them
