QUEEN DRAGA'S REVENGE.
Compelled Minister'S Wife to Kiss
the Royal Hand.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
The ways of courtiers are not ways of
pleasantness nor are the paths round
throne paths of peace. Even court ladies'
have a hard time whenever inclination
clashes with duty as many ladies in Bel
grade have been painfully discovering ever
since King Alexander took unto himself a
wife. At first, indeed. even the ladies of
the diplomatic corps resolved that they
would not hold any communications with
Queen Draga, whose upbringing they held
had, in certain essential respects, been
sadly neglected. But the example of the
Gar of Russia, whose congratulations were
warm and public, swept away their scru-
Piles, and the royal lady was duly re
ceved" Still. some of the queens own
countrywomen, declaring that they were
made of sterner stuff. held out and showed
the royal lady that their memories Were as
tenacious their will. One of these is the
wife of a former minister of state. and
being also the president of "A Belgrade com
mittee, she had to appear in this latter ca
pacity before Queen Draga a few days
ago.
When admitted, together with several
other ladies, to an audience, she feigncd
utter ignorance of the ways of court, and
thus managed to escape kissing the SOW
ereigns taper fingers. Next day she bruited
the fact abroad, boasting that she would
never never touch with her lips the hands
of that - (the epithet is Servian and un-
complimentary. lady present informed
her husband who at once communicated
the matter to the king, for in Servia. in
most capitals, spicy gossip spreads like
wildfire.
Two days later a royal carriage, empty
drove up to the door of the lady who was
so chary of her lips. The servant brought
and delivered a written order from the
queen calling on the recalcitrant fair one
to appear at once at the palace. This sum-
mons could not well be disobeyed, and,
after all. it was an honor which obliged her
to nothing. So she took her place in the
icla nd 1ioht ad ut no
tails of the konak. Here she about to
wend her way to the royal reception room,
when she was suddenly confronted on the
threshold by the queen herself who with
out uttering word, stretched forth her
hand to be kissed. The lady, having no
choice. kissed the monarch's soft digits,
whereupon Queen Draga, her eyes flaming.
stamped angrily and exclaimed, And now
begonei' The Inundated visitor took her
self away. and, finding no royal carriage
awaiting her. had to trudge home foot.

SIGN LANGUAGE.
Used by Birds and Animals as Means
of Communication.
e New Orleans Times Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
THE sign language, once forming such
an extensive part of the human vocabulary,
and still used with much profit. is not UNI
known to lower orders of life said man
who takes much interest in matters Of
this sort. and L have had occasion in my
time to observe some rather impressive in
stances. Some of the signs are understand
able. Many of them plain the words
of human speech, as. for instance, the sap
suckers love call, the rabbits drumming,
the head gesture which accompanies the
cluck of the old hen when she is trying to
attract the attention of her brood to a bit
of food she has uncovered in the soil.
But there are many mysterious and alto
gether ineXplicable things to be found in
this strange realm of signs. Every sign
means something. We may be sure of that
1t is a part and parcel of speech. 1t con-
veys meaning definite enough to the crea-
lures in the particular order of life. But
there are many signs which are not fol-
lowed by results which throw light on their
meaning that the field becomes one for in
teresting speculative inquiry. What does
the duck mean, for instance, when simply
bobbing the head up and down? 1t is not
confined to one sex. brakes and hens re-
sort to the same form of speech. l have
seen them go through this motion I'm perfect
silence and when the motion of the head
would not be followed by any other ac-
tivity, or by sound of any sort.
They just nod at each ether. 1t may be
simply a friendly sort of greeting, a nod
of reinsurance that all is quiet on the Po-
tomac,' and that there is no fox or other
dangerous intruder anywhere around. Or
ii may be a fiirtfve sort of speech, the
ducks way of smiling and goo-gooing. 1
don't know how this is. only know that it
happens. 1t may be, of course. that this
movement of the head and neck is physical
ly necessary, like the habit of yawning or
the unconscious movement of the limbs of
human beings. But ducks yawn and
stretch very much after the fashion of the
human kind. Still, the movement to which
/ have referred may result from similar
motive. / would like to know. Can any
man tell me what duck means by silently
nodding to one or more of his compail~
iOnS?'
