LIFE IN THE BALKANS.
Am Ob1iglng Woman Whose House
Was a Nest of Smallpox.

Am Ob1iglng Woman Whose House
Was a Nest of Smallpox.
Miss Edith Durham in her volume OF
travel, 1.-The Burden of the Balkans, ''
tells this little story of life in that re-
mysteriously. He said that in his viii
lage there were three traitors. Before
anything further could be done they
must be destroyed. They could not
be shot, for this would probably bring
down the authorities, and it was impos-
sible to buy poison because the law on
the sale of it was very strictly en-
forced. But 'madama' (myself) was a
friend Of the doctor. No doubt if she
asked him he would write her some
thing that could be put in coffee. Thsn
the three gentlemen could be asked to
supper and their political differences
quietly arranged. Nor had he any
doubt that should fulfill this humble
request"
OF the dangers of smallpox and like
diseases Miss Durham says that the
Ba kan people show a childlike ig-
no"ance. She writes: "At one village
wi en- 1 was leaving I was asked to

POMPEIl A TOY CITY.
1t Was Given Over to Imitation and
Luxury, Emulating Rome.

Luxury, EmuIattng Rome.
Pompeii, as can be seen on every
hand, was what Bulwer-Lytton de-
scribes it-a toy city, given over to
imitation and luxury. Rome set both
the example and the pace.
The excavations which have proceed
ed for more than a century and a half
may be said now to be fairly COM
pleted. Nothing more is needed to
enable the archaeologist to reconstruct
the life of the ancient Roman colony
nothing else to startle the modern seek
er after truth.
The temples, the villas, the theaters,
the baths, the gardens, disentombed at
last, lie gaping to the skies in heaps
Of variegated marble and granite, whis-
pering their story mayhap to the moon,
yet telling it plainly enough to the
passerby under the common light Of
day-a story of Incidence and frivolity
mistaken by the semibarbaric mind
for pleasure, Of gorgeous displays in
public places, mysterious orgies in pri-
vate, feasts incalculable, vinous liba-
ton to the gods, gladiatorial combats,
chariot racing, human beings fed to
lions-all in mimicry Of Rome, of Rome
already beginning it's downward course
toward the fall.

CAREFUL OF THE FIRE.
The Sfingy Hotel Keepers OF Spal
and Southern Italy.

The Sttngy Hotel Keepers OF Spain
and Southern Italy.
In the smaller hotels Of southern
Italy and Of Spain, writes Mr.. Hart
In "Two Argonauts In Spain," the un-
fortunate tourists slowly freeze. The
landlords display a touching solicit
ude about the stove. On days when
fire Is really needed to keep the guests
warm they sometimes spend half their
time trying to keep the servants from
putting too much fuel on the fire.
To prevent Americans and other
pyromaniacs from meddling with the
fuel they often keep the coal bin lock-
ed. 1t is touching spectacle to see a
group of Americans shivering round a
little stove; to see the servant enter,
take out a key, unlock the coal bin,
put two or three spoonfuls Of coal in
the stove and then lock the bin again;
to see the gimlet eye Of a Granada
landlord fastened on him from the Of
Ace; then to see the hapless Americans
sink back into their overcoat collars
and wish they were back home.
AS an instance Of the desperation to
once in q Levantine hotel saw an
elderly spinster seat herself in front
Of the stove in the mems smoking
room, with her hair down, while an
elderly female friend gave her a dry
shampoo.
To the suggestion Of the scandalized
servants that she should finish this
intimate toilet operation in her own
room she replied briefly that she had
found the only warm place in the no.
tel and proposed to finish the shampoo
there, which she did.

'"The more dreadful poisons," said a

university made a decided hft at a
banquet of railway men in Baltimore,
to which he had been invited because
Of his intimacy with the son of the

toastmaster called upon all for speeches.
When the older men had had their say
the toastmaster, turning to the young
student, smilingly suggested that he
make a short talk. The guests looked
sympathetically at the young fellow.

MONSON,

At the July meeting of the trutsees
OF the Massachusetts State Sanatori-
um, DIR. j. p. Rand of Worcester was
elected secretary for the ensuing year.
Cards have been issued for the
wedding of Miss f. Louise Moore,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank A.
Moore of Flynt avenue, and Ernest
ID. Rees, at the home of the bride,
Tuesday afternoon, at 4 O'Clock, Aug.
j.
There is much interest in Monson
in the peculiar case of the daughter
OF Fred o. Peabody, who lies in a
trance at her home in Waterbury, OF.
Mrs. Peabody is native of Monson,
and lived in this town until her mar.
riage.
Friends of Ralph Clifford will be
pleased to learn that he is slowly inn
proving. He is naturally weak from
the severe ordeal that he has passed
through, but the chances are in his
favor. 1t is apparently only a ques-
tion of time for his complete re-
covery.
The house on the Capt. John Cady
farm in the west part of the town,
near the state line, was sturck by
lightning and burned Wednesday af-
ternoon. The house has not been oc-
.cupied for some time, but the owner
was cutting the hay at the time when
the fire occurred. The loss is not
heavy.
The museum at Flynt's park is
being moved to the building which is
occupied by the Flynt store, where it
will be kept in future. The museum
contains many articles of interest,
both local and otherwise, and was
founded by the late W N. Flynt. 1t
is considered advisable to have it To-
Gated where it will be more easily
accessible.
Manager Dempsey has been very
fortunate in securing the fast South
Manchester team for a game the goth.
This team is thought by many to be
the fastest team in Connecticut, not
barring the leaguers. Collins, who
has met the Monsons several times
while playing with Stafford, is now
with Manchester and will probably
be in the box for the visitors. There
is talk of closing the stores during the
game, and with pleasant weather the
largest attendance of the season seems
assured.

sparrow pest: "Take some lees Of wine
and hemlock juice, temper them to-
gether and steep quantity of wheat
therein for the space Of one night. Then
place the same in a spot where the
birds resort to feed, and when they
have eaten thereof they viii drop down

not be used or there will be a danger

are known as twin earthquakes. In
Great Britain one in about every twen-
ty earthquakes is twin, and the stron-
gest shocks experienced in that coun-
