BULGARIA WANTS PEACE
But THE REVOLT IN MACEDONIA is
SPREADING RAPIDLY.
Bulgarian Committees Keep the Fires
Going-RaiIway Bridge Blown I'D
New Russian Consul.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE premier
and minister of the interior have proceeded
to Dubnitza with the intention of inspecting
the Bulgarian posts along the Macedonian
frontier. This is regarded additional
proof of the governments desire 10 main
tain peace, as the ministers are anxious to
whether more can be done to restrict
the passage of insurgent bands into Mace
donia. 1t is now stated that Prince Ferdi-
nand will not return to Sofia until after
Aug. 10, as he wishes to show he is not re-
sponsible for the trouble in Macedonia.
The insurgents have blown up a bridge
sixty yards long near Giovgyeti, on the
Salonica-U -Uskub Railway.
The representatives of the Macedonian
revolutionary committee announce that the
revolution broke out in the vilayet of Uskub
last Sunday and in the vilayet of Adrianople
on Monday. Telegraphic communication is
interrupted. AdrianopIe forms the seventh
revolutionary district. with Chief Ghirdji-
koff and Captains Ikonomoff and Madjaroff
in command.
The representatives of the committee also
publish contradiction of the alleged afro
cities committed by the Bulgarians, and
accuse the Turks of attempting to prepare
the mind of Europe for eventual massacre
Of.innocent Christians.
General Tzoncheff, president of the Mace
DOMAIN committee, has addressed an appeal
10 his adherents to assist the insurgents in
Macedonia even by revolutionary means.
Prominent Macedonians here have formed
a charitable committee for the purpose of
obtaining help for the victims of the inSur-
recton. Representatives of all political par
ties in Bulgaria have joined the committee
and liz is proposed to hold a public meeting
to solicit contributions from all Bulgarians.

ARSENIC IN THE SYSTEM.
Principal Points Where 1t Becomes
LOcalfxed-Its Origin.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
Only a short time ago science was quite
unaware of the functions of the thyroid
borders-those two glands, situated i'm the
front of the neck. which become hyper
trophic in goiter. All that was known was
that their extirpation caused strumitive ca
chexia, characterized by the swelling of the
patient and thickening of the flesh, the
manifest consequence of the derangement
of the system due to the cessation of the
working, still undetermined of these
organs.
The experiments of Brown-Sequard on
the part played by the internal secretions
in certain tissues threw light on the etio-
logy of this affection. IL was seen that by
making persons operated swallow the thy
roid gland. or injecting its juice beneath
the skin, the troubles from which they suf-
tered were made to disappear. The question
To NJ. Gautier tof Paris) is due the high

that this arsenic was found especiaIiv in
the thyroid gland. whence it spread into

which IL Nas eliminated.
Pursuing his researches. Nj. Galltier found
that arsenic existed in the down beneath
the arm, which is in the closest relations
with the working of the skin, and seems Ia

whereas il does not exist in the wing or tai
feathers of birds, which are simply organs
of locomotion. Those feathers which serve
to adorn the male and constitute its spring
plumage, such as the tail feathers OF n pea.
cock, contain arsenic. Nevertheless, 1T does
not exist in the quill, but is entirely local

After the breeding season the arsenic is

A NEW LITERATURE.
IL Literature Has Become Commercial,
Advertising Has Become Literary.

George Hubbard. in Booklovers' Magazine
A new literature is in process OF develop
ment. You often hear an intelligent man or
woman say, Il always look in the back of
the magazines first" If You carefully seek
the reason for this you will discover that in
the pages and pages of advertising in the
back OF the magazines is 10 be found, not
only much that is instructive, but much
that is interesting and suggestive in a pure
ly literary way. The modern advertisement
is worth looking AT. whether IL is the sound
ing. proclamation of some big corporation.
with facts and figures both weighty and i'm
pressve. or the light eye-catching notice of
some simple trade or contrivance. All forms
of literary composition find place in the ad-
vertising pages; history, story, verse. Many
advertisements measure up to the test of
good literature. In truth there is often an
uncommon amount of character in them. A
word here or phrase there is often singu-
larly vivid as local COLOR" and behind
mary an advertisement ii is possible to see
a vigorous personality. Nor are there lack
ing I'm this new literature qualities of humor,
both intentional and unintentional, from the
conscious aphorisnl and epigram to uncon-
scious fun, as I'm the announcement which
recently happened To come under the eye
of the writer, that certain article would
be supplied to the purchaser painted azure
blue as you like IL.
This is a mercantile If not a mercenary
age. and literature is molding itself TO new
requirements. The Roman conquered the
Greek, but the literary and artistic Greek
became necessary To the cruder conqueror,
and finally transformed him. And so. il the
commercial spirit has ingaded the domain
of literature. the literary spirit has reyenged
itself by invading the realm of business As
art revolutionized the poster literature
Is reyolutionizng advertising; and both
cases are indications of the same tendency
and interesting for the same reason. The
principles OF art and literature are eternal.
They only change from age 10 age in the
manner I'm which they manifest themselves.
One generation writes an epic, another an
advertisement; aud who shall say that one
manifestation u not ~ important as the
other.

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Queer Cases of Attachments Formed
in Large Zoos.
Tit-Bits.

llt-BltS.
Among the strange features of life in a
amusing friendships that spring up be-
tween animals of altogether dissimilar
habits and natures. out at the National
Zoo two Rhesus monkeys have formed a
hare. but this is not so surprising as some
OF the platonic loves that have been noted
elsewhere. Some years ago the botanical
gardens at Rio de Janeiro, the capital of
Brazil, kept a large manatee in pond on
the grounds. 1t was an immense creature.
and In time became so tame that it would
come up TO the waters edge and eat grass
out of the hands of the visitors. This
leviathan formed an attachment for a
European swan, kept on the lake, and fol-
lowed IT about as though the swan were its
guardian, so that wherever the swan hap
pened to be one had only To look in the
clear water by its side to see the lazy man
atee floating about and feeding on the water
plants at the bottom. Visitors soon found
this out, and by coaxing the swan to the
edge of the lake they were always sure of
the manatee's following. When the swan
left the water the manatee was discomfort
ed and restless until it returned. AS for
the swan, IL grew so accustomed to the big
animal that 1t had no fear when the man.
atee rose by its side to take air, and so
the two got along famously-
MIR. Afialo, in his description of the
private menageries of England, says that
such attachments come about often in the
big animal parks of Great Britain. At one
and Welsh pony that were great chums.
AT present one OF the pair of hippopotami in
the London zoo has grown very fond of an
ordinary black house cat that enters and
leaves the quarters of the big brute at will.
In another private menagerie in England
Mr.. Afialo saw two gray wolves that were
hand in glove with European bear.
Sometimes the bear would get tired of the
incessant, boisterous play of the wolves. in
which event he would climb tree and lie
down To sleep in the forks of some
branches, leaving his companions TO howl

vided her with a round-trip ticket and
money for hotel bills and at o'clock this
morning she started upon her journey.
Just as she was ready to leave IL leaked
out that she was married several weeks age

married at Washington, Daviess county
and have kept the matter a secret unit
this morning. Mr.. Kelly, of course, went

have furnished. Mr.. Kelly is very popu

worthy and popular ladies. The Call joins
their many friends in most hearty congrat
ulations.
