on his return from Servia, telegraphs
that while in Belgrade he was receiv.

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 temporary lull, as the Al
banians are merely waiting to see
what steps will be taken against them.
Further trouble is certain to come
AIbanians in Deadly Earnest.
"a mans life in Albania is worth
one penny-just the price of a 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. No
wonder Europe is alarmed, and no
wonder the King of Servia is reported
as saying that the Albanian question
has become much more serious than
the Macedonian question.
The other day the ambassadors OF
Russia and Austria did Abdul Hamid
the honor of joint visit to urge upon
him the necessity of suppressing the
Albanian disorders. Unfortunately
for the sultan his ENJOYS to his Al
bantam subjects we're 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 Albanians."

Congressman Tawney of Minnesota
is the son of one blacksmith, grand
son of another, and learned the same
trade himself in Mount Pleasant town

born in 1855. At the age of twenty
two he went by boat to Winona, his
present home, where he landed with
just twenty-five cents in his pocket.

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 penin-
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

The Birmingham (Eng.) Post says
1t learns from a reliable source that
the Creusot-Synder firm, well known
German armament manufacturers, has
received orders for arms during the
past four months from the Bulgarian
government. The first condition was
that the weapons should be delivered
expeditiously Moreover, the orders
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 ac-
ceptance of the conditions.

CHAPTER V.
Turninu Over a New Leaf.

When Hyde awakened, he was in
that borderland between dreams and
day which we call dawn. The noises
finally woke him thoroughly Il am
more alive than ever was in my life"
he said and he laughed gayly, and
went to the window. "It is a lovely
day; and that is so much in my
favor" he added, "for If it were rain
ing, Cornela would not leave the
house."
Then he fell into reverie about his
proposed visit to Mrs. Adams. Last
night it appeared to him an easy and
natural thing to do. He was not
so sure of his position this morning.
But there are times when laissez-
aller carries before it, and Hyde was
in Just such a mood. "I'll run the
chance" he said. "Ill risk it. I'll
let things take their course" And
after all, when a man is in love, to be
reasonable is often to be cowardly.
When he was dressed he went to
his hotel and breakfasted there.
Early as it was, there were many
members and senators present-eat-
ing, drinking coffee and disputing.
Hyde took no notice of any of these
disputes until a Inadvertently an
Englishman-called Franklin "a beg
ar-on-horseback-Ya Then he
looked steadily at the speaker, say
ing with the utmost GOODNESS and
frmness:
you are mistaken. sir. The beg
gar-on-horseback is generally suppos-
ed to ride to the devil. Franklin
rode to the highest posts of political
honor and the esteem and affection of
worthy men in all the civilized
world"
With these words he rose, pushed
aside his chair with a little temper,
and, turning, met Jefferson face to
face. The great man smiled, and put
his hand affectionately on Hyde's
shoulder.
you spoke well, my young friend.
Now, will give you piece of advice
when any one abuses great man
in your presence, ask them what
kind of people they admire. You will
certainly be consoled."
Hyde, casting his eyes a moment
on this tall, loose-limbed man, whose
cold blue eyes and red hair empha-
sized the stern anger of his whole
appearance, was well disposed to
leave the scurrilous Englishman to
bic nOwer of ranrOOf
Riding hard, 1t was quite half-past
nine when he drew rein at the door
of Richmond HILL Thus far, he had
suffered himself to be carried for
ward by the impulse Of his heart,
and he still put firmly down any won
der as to what he should say or do.
He was shown into bright little
parlor with open windows. A table,
elegantly and plentifully spread, &C.
cupied the center of the room; and
sitting as It were the vice president
and Mrs. Adams and also their only
daughter, the beautiful, but not very
intellectual, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Adams

bowed handsomely, hoped he was
well. and then after q minutes re-

SF1AF Elk IV.-(Contlnueu.)
MY dear, dear grandfather, you
carry wisdom with you! Oh, wise,
wise grandfather! You have made
me happy to degree!"
Very well, but say not that
gave you such counsel. When your
father speaks to me, as he Is certain
to do, then l will say such and such
words to him; but my words in Your
mouth will be a great offence, and
very justly so, for it is hard to carry
words. and carry nothing else. Your

not so happy. | can see that he is
wearied of everything"
mot here, is his heart. 1t is in
England. If Of Liberty I now speak
to him, he has smile so hopeless
that both sad and angry it makes me.
! No faith has he left in any man, ex-
cept Washington and think, also, he
is disappointed that Washington was
not crowned King George the First"
At this point in the conversation
Van Heemskirk was called to the door
about some business matter and
George was left alone with his grand
mother. She put the cups quickly
down, and going to Georges side,
said:
"Cornelia Moran spends this even
ing with her friend Arenta Van Arlens.
Well then, would thou like an excuse
to call on Arenta?"
ooh. grandmother! Do you indeed
know Arenta? Can you send me
there?"
"Since she was one month old have
known Arenta. This morning, she
came here to borrow for her Aunt
Jacobus my ivory winders. For thy
pleasure will get them, and thou canst
take them this evening to Arenta."
80 you dear, dear grandmother"
and he stood up, and lifted her rosy
face between his hands and kissed
her.
Get me the winders, grandmother;
for now you have given me reason
to hurry"
Then she went into the best parlor,
and opening one of the shutters let IN
sufficient light to find in the drawer
of a little Chinese cabinet some ivory
winders of very curious design and
workmanship. She folded them in soft
tissue paper and handed them to her
grandson with a pleasant nod; and the
young man slipped them into his
pocket, and then went hurriedly away.
Doubling and hoping, he reached
the Van Ariens' house soon after seven
o'clock. 1t was not quite dark, and
Jacob Van Ariens stood on the stoop,
smoking his pipe.
Good evening, sir" said George
with smiling politeness. "Is Miss Van
Ariens within?"
within? Yes. But company she
has tonight" said the watchful
father, as he stood suspicious and i'm
movable in the entrance.
81 have come with a message to
Miss Van Ariens."
"a very fine messenger" answered
Van Ariens, slightly smiling.
"a fine lady deserves fine messen-
ger. But, sir, if you will do my err
rand for me, am content. l have
brought from Madame Van Heemskirk
some ivory winders for Madame ia
cobus."
Come in, come in, and tell my
Arenta the message myself. Welcome
art thou!" and Van Ariens himself
opened the parlor door, saying:
"Arenta, here is George Hyde. A
message he brings for thy Aunt An
gelica"
And while these words were be-
ing uttered, George delighted his eyes
with the vision of Cornelia, who sat
at small table with some needlework

tiousness and cruelty. The Albanian
Moslems, who are brigands by nature
and training, prey on the Christian
Macedonians from the western bound
airy, while Turkish levies from Asia,
whose idea of soldering is comprised
in murder and plumber, infiict all sorts
of outrages on the wretched inhabi-
tants whom they are supposed to pro-
tect. Violence has provoked violence,
until the Macedonians regard revenge
as the only means of redress for Turk
ish crimes, and if Macedonia is not in
continual revolution, it is only be-
cause the winter season is too severe
for active hostilities.

I'VE were talking about the ON
cial title proper for Gen. Washington.
What do you think, Lieutenant? Or
have you heard Gen. Hyde express
any opinion on the subject?"
"Sir, / do not presume to under
stand the ceremonials of government.
My father is of the opinion that 'rhe
President of the United States has
Roman and republican simplicity, and
that any addition to it would be de-
rogatory and childish"
my dear young man, the eyes OF
the world are upon us. To give a
title to our leaders and rulers belongs
to history. In the Roman republic
great conquerors assumed even dis
tinctive titles, as well as national
ones"
"Then our Washington is superior
to them"
"Chief Justice Mexican thinks His
Serene Highness the President OF the
United States is very suitable. Roger
Sherman is of the opinion that
neither His Highness' nor His Ex-
cellency' are novel and dignified
enough; and Gen. Muhlenberg says
Washington himself is in favor OF
High Mightiness, the title used by
the Stakeholder of Holland"
"And how will you vote. John?"
asked Mrs. Adams.

FOOD ~ADULTERATION,
Some of the Frauds Perpetrated on
the Public in Europe.

An article on the adulteration
of food products is going the
rounds of the German press. 1t
is stated, for instance, that an or.
binary liver patty is made into
fine "Strassburgcr" pate dc foie
Eras "a goose liver patty by
means Of bora1 or salicylic acid.
and of finely chopped and clevcrly
distributed pieces of black silk,
representing trufles. Cosmos, a
German paper, guarantees the
fact that under the label of canned
Holsters the soft parts OF the cut
fetish and crab are sold. In Paris
snails are Of late very popular,
and the adulterators mix them
with lungs Of cattle and horses.
Even entirely artificial snails are
manufactured. The shells, recoat-
cd with fat and slime, are filled
with lung and then sold as "Buf-
gundy" snails. Lovers Of fresh
rooster combs are imposed upon
by a substitute Of hogs %intcstines.
Chopped artificial trutfles are
made Of black rubber silk, or soft.
ened leather, and even whole truf-
fies are made out Of roasted DO
tatoes. which arc given a peculiar
flavor by adding ether. They are
said to sell we'll. Fish spoiled in
spite of ice and borax is treated
with salts of zinc, aluminium and
other metals. Rubbing the fish
with vaseline TO give it a fresh
look and coloring the gills with
fresh blood or eosin-a coal tar
color-is rcsorted to. The latter
is also used to intensity the red
color OF inferior crabs. Impart-
ing a greenish color to oysters is
another adulteration. An oyster
requires about ono month in the
beds to acquire the greenishcolor.
The chemists in the Paris munici.
pal laboratories have shown that
tomato jelly is adulteratcd with
turnips, and powdered peppers
contain a large admixture of pow.

ANECDOTES OF LEO XIII.
The Late Pope Was Not Averse to
Cracking a Toke.

SS JoACs
On one occasion, when the pope
had to refrain from giving audi.
cnces, says the New York World,
by order of his physicians, he sent
for the Tribuna in the evening,
and before opening the paper said
to his secretary: eff it were not
sinful l would say: What do you
bet that they have me half dead
agai2?"
The anecdote that after q GER.
tain sick spell he addressed Car
dinal Oreglia with the words:
"Have.y ouyourlittle hammerwith
you?" is true. Both the valet and
the bedroom attendants heard the
the remark. The pope referred to
the silver hammer with which the
dead pontitf's forehead is touched
when he il officially pronounced
dead.
When Bismarck died Leo called
his valet and said: "Curious. is it
not? The giant statesman Of the
century dies of a complication Of
diseases, while this little body
continues to resist attacks Of ILL.,
health"
In 1883 influenza laid low most
Of the cardinals. Leo impaticntly
exclaimed: "Thcse young men al.
ways seem to have time TO be ill.,"
If the pope was i'll his valet had
to be up and about day and night.
He seldom left the vatican, and
Leo was very grateful to him for
his devotion. During the opera
ton in the winter of 1899 Pho held
the vessel to receive the blood,
and as he knelt at the side of the
bed the pope saw that his face was
white with terror. "Courage, lit
tie Pho" whispered Leo, "they are
cutting me up, not you"

HEALTH AND SONG
Breathing Lessons as a Cure for
Many Complaints.

Many Complaints.
The London concert season,
which has come to a close, has
called attention to a discovery
the doctors have made that vocal
ism is a healthy profession, says
the London Mail.
A quiet baby who never gives
way to tantrums and tears is not
a healthy, but a weakly, child.
When his voice is raised in a pierre.
ing crescendo of screams his lungs
are expanding, his blood is circu-
lating we'll, and he is gaining
strength and beauty momen-
tarily. Translate the salutary
shrieks of infancy into the edu.
Gated singing of maturity and the
net result is the same-namely,
a large increase of health and
comeliness.
Anaemic boys and girls are now
being ordered by doctors to take
singing lessons, because such per-
sons do not know how to breathe
properly, and the singing master
teaches them the act. Very few
people utilize the whole of their
lung power when they breathe,
but get into the lazy way of mere
ly gasping or breathing superb
cially.
Candidates for the army whose
chest measurement lacks the
requisite number of inches take
singing lessons to increase their
girth, or, if their voices lack the
musical element, they attend
breathing classes and learn where
their respiration should come
from-that is to say, how they
should draw each breath, how
long they should retain it, and
how emit it. Though mankind
must breathe in order to live, few
human beings know how to
breathe properly.
After the anaemic girl with the
bowed shoulders and the con.
tracted chest has taken a dozen
lessons in singing her back begins
to fatten and her chest to develop.
Her complexion freshens, and she
notices with pleasure a roseleaf
stain reddening her checks.
The professional songstress re.
tains the freshness of youth into
old age, not entirely as a result
OF the care she takes of her health
and the excellent food she eats for
the sake of her voice, but mainly
because she breathcs perfectly
and exercises her vocal organs
regularly. 1t is acting on this
principle that middle-aged women
inclined to embonpoint now take
breathing lessons at a fashion

where waists r coaxed back to
