were accompanied by financial assur-
ances, which is rather unusual in the
case of contracts with Macedonia and
other eastern countries, but which was
a sufficient stimulus to induce the &C.
ceptance of the conditions.
The correspondent of the London
Daily Mail, who has arrived at Vienna,
on his return from Servia, telegraphs
that while in Belgrade he was receiv-
ed in audience by King Alexander. He
quotes the king as saying: THE Mace
DOMAIN question is not nearly as
serious as the Albanian question. The
latter is the real danger to the peace
of the Balkans, and the murder of M.
Stcherbina, the Russian consul at
Mitrovitza, has made the situation
more critical When Ibrahim, the
Albanian soldier who shot Stcherbina,
is executed for his crime, the vendetta
will fall on the sultan and the Chris
tians who forced him to execute the
murderer The present seeming quiet
is only a temporary lull, as the AL
banians are merely waiting to see
what steps will be taken against them.
Further trouble is certain to come"
Albanians in Deadly Earnest.
"A mans life in Albania is worth
one penny-just the price Of cart
ridge" an educated Albanian once
concisely said He referred, however,
to times when the Albanians were
simply amusing themselves, and his
saying must not be given too much
weight to-day. Just as present the
Albanians are serious. They have
declared a truce to their blood feuds,
abandoning the ordinary pastime Of
Albanian life, and they are turning
their frank and open countenances ex-
pectantly toward Constantinople.
The other day the ambassadors of
Russia and Austria did Abdul Hamid
the honor of a joint visit to urge upon
him the necessity OF suppressing the
Albanian disorders. Unfortunately
for the sultan his ENJOYS to his AL
bantam subjects were even then be-
ing held as hostages at Ipek. What
answer he made to the ambassadors
under the circumstances nobody has
had the temerity to make public.
Abdul Hamid is moving large de-
tachments of his Kurd troops into the
Balkan provinces. The Kurds did
the sultan's work of expert butchery
in Armenia. They can, however, ex-
pect no meek necks stretched to the
knife in Albania. If the worst comes
to the worst the world is as apt to be
plying the poor Kurds" as the |
poor Albsnians.
Conditions are Unbearable.

Situation Summed Up.
A writer who has long studied the
Eastern question thus sums up the
situation
There are certain well-defined in
dications that the sick man of Europe
is about to throw another fit. The
heather is afire, as they used to say
in Scotland, out in the Balkan PENN
sular, and Roumania and Bulgaria and
the other provinces whose names
sound like new varieties of old cheese,
are about to revolt. Austria on the
one side of the invalid, Russia on the
other, are mobilizing their troops and
preparing to descend upon the cata-
clasm. Meanwhile the patient sits
tight. refuses to take any new-fangled
medicines in the way of reforms, and
sets his attendants to sharpening
up the scimater. When the surgeons
actually arrive we shall see what we
shall see, of course, but judging from
past experiences there promises to
be many dead, and something doing
at the wake. If the unspeakable Turk
really elects to fight the unpronounce-
able Russian it will be far more than
a shattering of syllables. The Turk
may be tottering as they say, but II
past experiences are any criterion he
will no sooner be actually attacked
than he will show an astonishing live
illness. Europe has been about to eat
up the sultan and his domain for a
good many years, but it hasn't hap
pened yet Turkey is an ungobled
gobbler, still"

Unnatural Women.

1t is the great misfortune oil
many of the sufferers from
womanIy diseases that they have
accepted the idea that such di.
seases are part of woman's ma.
tural heritage. The reason fol
this wide acceptance of womanly
suffering as natural and necessary
is twofold: On the one hand the
number of women who suffer is SO
great that the woman who is ex-
empt from womanly weakness
seems to be an anomaly, a contra
diction. On the other hand, the
general failure of local practi-
TONERS to effect a cure of woman
ly diseases leads to their accept
ance as incurable.
The first thing that a woman
needs to realize is that womanly
disease is unnatural and in gen.
eral unnecessary. 1t would be as
reasonable to suppose that the
natural type of man was the man
dwarfed, misshapen, crippled and
deformed as to suppose that the
natural condition of woman was
, one of misery and suffering. Di-
sease is unnatural. Where there
is one woman who stands free
from the diseases which so com.
monty affiict her sex, she is the
standard of natural womanhood.
Every woman should try to be like
her. Almost all women could be
like her if they used the right
means.
The proof of this statement lies
in the fact that DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has lifted
hundreds OF thousands of weak
and sick women to the plane of
perfect health. 1t has cured
chronic diseases of years standing;
cured when all hope of cure had
passed and physicians has said
there was no cure. Irregularity,
facilitating drains, inflammation ul-
ceration and female weakness have
all yielded to "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" and been perfectly and per-
manently cured.
No woman, however serious her
condition, should neglect to at
tempt cure of her disease by the
use of "Favorite Prescription. DIR.
Pierce invites sick and ailing
women, especially those suffering
from chronic forms of disease, to
consult him by letter. free. All
correspondence is held as strictly
private and sacredly confidential.

Water storage is a great thing.
How great thing it is any one
can see from the swollen streams

water in times of drouth, and
what mighty water powers it would
make. Unfortunately, however.
there is another side to the ques.

these great reservoirs. kept back
by artificial dams, would be to the
