PRINCE 111RKo OF MONTENEGRO.

with his relative, the late King Alex
ander at the time of the latter's mar
riage with Draga and was banished
from his native land. The marriage Of
Prince AIirko and Natalie connected
the Obrenovitch family with the lead
ing reigning houses of Europe. The
present queen of Italy is a sister Of
Prince AIirko, two other sisters are
Russian grand duchesses, and a fourth
is the wife of Prince Joseph of Batten-
berg.
King Peter of Servia is also q broth
er-in-law of Mirko, his wife, now dead,
having been Princess ZorKa, eldest
daughter of Prince Nicolas of Monte
negro. Thus Prince AIirko is connected
by marriage with both the Obreno-
witch and Karageorgevitch dynasties
of Servia.
Princess Natalie is said to be one Of
the most beautiful of Servian women.
It was the wish of King Milan and of
her father that she become the consort
of the late King Alexander, but the
latter's fatal infatuation for Draga
made that impossible Colonel Con-
stantinovitch, disappointed and morti-
become queen of Servia, resolved that
his girl should one day grace a throne,
and it is said that the present agitation
for the abdication of King Peter and
the elevation of Prince AIirko to the
throne is aided and abetted by Con-
stantinovitch, who Is very wealthy and
can afford to indulge his ambition.
Last year, just before Prince AIirko's
marriage, it is said that the agents of
the prince addressed themselves to Sa-
rasoff. leader of the Ma edOnian revO-
lutionary movement. What the result
of these negotiations was is not known,
but it is generally believed that the
Macedonian leader gave Mirko's agents
to understand that it was purely a
matter of dollars and cents and that
he was perfectly ready to put Mirko
on the Macedonian throne provided
money was furnished to carry on the
revolutionary propaganda and to bring
about emancipation from Turkish rule.
Prince ATirko is extremely genial and
unaffected and is the favorite brother
of Queen Helen of Italy. He was born
in 1870 and educated with his brothers
and sisters at home by a Swiss tutor.
Mirko has but two passions besides his
ambition to wear a crown-music and
bacteriology. He is often to be found
in the hospital at Cettinje at work
with the microscope.
The rest of his spare time is devoted
to music, and he composes a great deal.
When his niece, daughter of the king Of
Italy, was baptized in Rome he COM
posed a march and dedicated it to the
city. It was performed at a concert.
and Mascagni, who was conducting, led
Prince Mirko to the platform to ac-
knowledge the applause with which it
was received.

Hats Are Black.

The new hats are black lie chapeau

tween seasons. As rule, one chooses
q conservative shape, which must of
course be becoming. The clever de-
signer literally does the rest. At this
season. with summer millinery decid-
edly in the scar and yellow leaf, the
fresh piece of headgear becomes a ne
cessity. Since one has not as yet de-
ci6ed upon ones winter attire, the hat
cannot be made to harmonic with it.
So about the only remaining course is
to purchase the black hat which al
ways finds a place in ones wardrobe
These new hats are delightfully."- mod
ish and well made. says the Philadel-
phia Record.
The hats are by no means confined to
small shapes only suited to ordinary
wear. Rather are they of every posi-
bic shape and style and of such de-
grces of dressiness that something is to
be found suitable to all sorts of Occa-
sions. Some of them, to be sure, are
half mourning.

EIonr md Teeth.

A valuable letter from correspond
ent drew attention to an important and
admitted cause of the national degen-
Grafton of physique which we have
striven to emphasize in these columns.
The roller mill has undoubtedly di-
minished the dietetic value of our
bread. The entire wheat grain is of
value-the husk (Which is n valuable
intestinal stimulan0, the brown eX-
terror and the white central core EX-
cept for certain invalids white bread
is an indefensible absurdity. Better il
brown bread consisting of all but the
husk, and best is n whole meal bread,
assuming such to be obtainable. The
deficiency of salts in white bread is
unquestionably related to the deterior-
ation-also familiar to our readers-in
the national teeth. We may illustrate
this by an argument from Sir Thomas
Lauder Brunton. ''Why has America
the cleverest dentists?" Answer: BE
cause she has the best flour mill max
ers" The better the mill is, the finer
the flour, the poorer the bread, the
worse the teeth and the better the
dentists. Perfectly simple-London

ASPIRES TO THRONE.
PRINCE MIRKo, WHO MAY SUCCEED
KING PETER OF SERVIA.

Ambitions of the Second Son of
Nicolas of MOnteneGrO-COnnec
With the Royal Houses of Europe.
Musical Prince.
The dissatisfaction in Servia with the
reigning king. Peter Karageorgevitch,
who succeeded to the throne recently
made vacant by the assassination of
King Alexander and Queen Draga,
again brings into prominence the name
Of Prince Mirko of Montenegro, who
last year was discussed as the possible
successor to Alexander.
Since King Peter assembled the throne
Of Servia he has done nothing to win
the confidence of the people and is, in
fact, generally regarded by his subjects
MS merely tool in the hands of de-
signing politicians. Recently there have
been rumors that he had tired of his
kingly position and seriously contem-
plated abdication.
Prince Mirko, who in the event of the
abdication of Peter would probably be
called to the throne of Servia, is the
second son of Nicolas l., the reigning
prince of Montenegro. He is captain
of Montenegrin infantry and lieuten-
ant in the Russian army. He devotes
much of his time to music and to scien-
tific research. His popularity among
the Servians comes in a large degree
from his wife, to whom he was married
last year AID who has the blood of the
Obrenov itches in her veins. She is Ma
talie, daughter of Colonel Constantine
witch, cousin of the late King Milan
n
a Triest merchant who made a large
fortune in the shipping trade.
Like his cousin, the late King Milan,
Colonel Constantinovitch is a grand
son of Milosh. first prince of Servia.
His daughter Natalie, who was born in
Triest in 1892, is a goddaughter of the
dowager Queen Natalie of Servia.

A Long Felt Want.

DIR. Holmes had an odd liking for in
genious desk accessories in the way of
pencil sharpeners, paperweights, pen
holders, etc. The latest contrivanceS in
this fashion-probably dropped down to
him by the inventor angling for a nib
BILE of ommendation-were always
making one another's acquaintance on
his study table. He once said to me-:
I'm waiting for somebody to invent a
mucilage brush that you can't by any
chance put into your inkstand. 1t would
save me frequent moments of humilia-
ton. "-Thomas Bailey Aldrich in Cen

4 yard or two of these will make an

Suppose you have good straw,

Take the trimming off, clean hat if

DIET AND DISPOSITION.
The Food We Int Has n Direct In
auence Upon Our Manners.

The Food We Int Has Direct In
auence Upon Our Manners.
To say that food has q direct infiu-
ence upon disposition is to utter a COM
nonDlace dietetic truism now accepted
and acknowledged by every one who
has even a rudimentary knowledge o.
physiology. If one is inclined to doube
this let him experiment upon the lower
animals. Feed q pair of baby lions
from the time they are born until they
are as large as fox terrier dog on
nothing but bread and milk, and you
will have a couple of docile, gentle and
loving pets as playful and harmless as
kittens. Take n pair of st. Bernard
puppies, the gentlest of all the canine
family, and as soon as their teeth come
begin feeding them raw meat, and you
will soon have couple of snappish,
snarling uuarrelSome dogs, inclined to
fight each other and ready to pick a
fight with every dog in the street. If
the meat diet is persisted in they will
become menace TO a whole neighbour
hood
Is it any wonder, then, that some
men and women are snappish, snarling
and quarrelsome? We give much less
attention to what we feed the human
animal than we do to what we feed
the lower animals. What does the
growing. garrulous, grumpy old scold,
who makes life burden to his family
eat anyway? On what does the nag
ging woman feed? Why not look into
these matters?- Pittsburg Chronicle.

How the ForEetmenot was Named.

How the FOrEetmenOt Was Named.
Everybody knows the pretty little
forgetmenot and likes the flower more
perhaps because of its name than its
beauty. How was it so called? The
Germans account for it by quite pa
thetic romance. 1t seems that once
upon time a knight and n lady were
walking by the bank of the Danube
when the latter asked her gallant
gay" to pluck for her tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.
No sooner said than done, but the
knight, overwhelming, fell into the
river, and owing to the slippery nature
of the bank and the weight of his own
armor was carried away by the cur
rent. As he threw the flowers ashore
TO his lady he cried out with his last
breath, ''Vergiss mein NIGHT" c'For-
get me not!'') And ever since the
flower has been looked on as the en-
blem of fidelity.
