Fort Saratoga,

With the history of Old Saratoga the
names Of Schuyler and Livingston are
closely associated. Fort Saratoga was
built in 1890 by Major Peter Philip
Schuyler, and around it grew up a
small settlement which suffered many
vicissitudes during the troublous times
Of the next hundred years. Lying on
the thoroughfare from Canada to New
York, this northern valley Of the Hud-
son was always in dispute in the
French and Indian war, and in the
Revolution until the great battle Of
Saratoga-the first victory over which
the American flag waved, and one of
the fifteen decisive battles Of the
world. The actual battle-ground Is sew
eral miles away from the settlement
and is marked today by many stones
recording the brave deeds Of u Amer
lean soldiers. The house still stands in
which Arnold was confined as prisoner
and from which he escaped in time to
help turn the tide of battle toward vic
tory.-Four Track News.

A Too Familiar Snake.

Seeing snakes is Il common expert
ence with the inhabitants of India and
one unconnected with any suggestions
Of bibulousness. An English nurse
tells of a little boy who lived in the
next bungalow TO hers and had his
bread and milk every day on the
veranda sitting in a child's high chair.
One morning, hearing him talking and
growing to himself apparently, she was
paralyzed on looking out to see him
gently tapping the head of a cobra
with his spoon, saying, Naughty,
naughty" The snake was drinking the
milk out Of the bowl, paying no heed
to the child. In that mysterious coun-
try the snakes may be heard rustling
across the verandas and have an I'M
tidy habit Of shedding their skins any
where.

THE GOORALS OF POLAND.
Honest, H~ospitab1e and Brave, but
Obstinate and QuarreIsome.

Obstinate ana Quarrelsome.
The character of the goorals has
nothing in common with the humble
peasants of the low country. In, their
good qualities and faults they rather
resemble the proud noblemen OF Po-
land. They are viyaclous, honest, hos
pitable and full of pride, bravery and
chivalry, on which II may always
count. But their defects are grave.
Obstinacy and quarrels lead them of
ten to bloody fights, the lack of thrift
is frequent among them and supersti-
tons haunt them at every step. They
love nature and in their songs praise
their gigantic peaks, spruce forests
and the clouds and rain. They build
their houses facing Tatra, which they
constantly observe and consult about
weather conditions. A gooral cannot
live without his mountains, and II he
sometimes leaves them inconsistencies
will soon bring him back.
They are very religious, but their
Christian faith is mixed with old SUI
perstitions. and the Roman Catholic
rites are mingled with weird, often
very picturesque, usages which have
their origin in the old Slavonic pagan
ism. So, for instance, on st. Johns
night Sobotka Is celebrated by burning
bonfires on fields and hills and by
dancing, a festivity which in pagan
times was held on the summer solstice
in honor of Sviatovit, the god of sun,
fire and love.
On Easter holidays from every house
various kinds of food are brought into
the church to be blessed by the priest,
or the priest, accompanied by a sexton,
goes to the house, where on a long,
white covered table cake, eggs and
venison await his blessing. This is
called swiocone. The table remains
covered with food for a week to await
come.
The Polish tongue among the o
taineers has pleasant, soft infections,
and their dialect resembles the old Pc
fish of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
fury. The picturesque and practical
costume of the goorals consists Of a
coarse linen shirt fastened with a brass
brooch; n serdak, which is a sleeveless
~sheepskin jacket of a reddish color,
richly decorated with applique orna-
ments of colored leather and silk en-
broidery and lined with fur; tight At
ting trousers of coarse, whitlsh, home
made wooden cloth, and "A cloak called
tsuha, worn usually over one shoulder.
A black felt hat shaped like a mush-
room and soft leather sandals perpce)
complete a costume that weighs from
thirty-five to thirty-eight pounds, but is
n good protection against cold and the
rain which in these regions is frequent,
for twenty days in a month are at least

DESTRUCTION OF POMPEn.
Buried So Deep That II Was Lost
For sixteen Centuries.


When one hears of a buried city it is
very difficult to realize what it can
look like-still more so to realize how a
city can be buried so deep as to be ut
terly lost and the place of it know it
no more for sixteen centuries. Yet
this is what happened to Pompeii and
Hcrculaneum, Stabiae and Retina and
thirteen other cities Of the plain on
the ninth day before the ,calends of
September, in the first year of the
reign of the Emperor Titus. Thus it
was when Pompeii was buried. When
next the sun shone into her streets
George III. was king of England. Six.
teen years before the burial of the
city an earthquake had done so much
mischief that the ruin was not yet
quite restored, but Mount Vesuvius
had been quiet ever since. The oath
Of August was a terribly hot day.
Most of the people were in the am
phitheater at a wild beast fight when
they saw a strange cloud rise from
Vesuvius. 1t seemed like a pine tree.
The trunk rose up high into the heav-
ems and then spread out in branches
some white, some dull and spotted
until, slowly d%etaching themselves
from the parent trunk, they began to
darken the sky. Pliny the elder, over
at Misenum, was reading in his study
when his sister anne In to tell him of
this strange cloud. He ordered a light
galley to be got ready, and ms he was
coming out with his tablets in his
hand ready to note down all he saw
at Retina came UP to implore of him
to &c to their help.
BY the time Pliny got there with his
galleys the ashes were falling thicker
every instant. Then came broken and
bhckened stones and pumice. Vast
fragments We're rolling down the
mountain, and the sea had suddenly
retreated. The pilot was for putting
back, but the %undaunted old philoso-
pher admiral would not go back. For
tune" he said, "favors the brave" Ev-
erybody knows something about the
rest and how the poor old gentleman,
being weakly and asthmatic, was suf-
located by a sudden outburst of flames
and sulphur fumes. In that awful
darkness, when the sudden rush of
flames was the only light which pierre
ed the dense smoke, the fields were full
of terrified people fleeing they knew
not whittier. It is true that the de-
struction was not instantaneous, and
a great number of the inhabitants saw
ed their lives, and even took away a
timated that at least 100000 persons
were entombed in Pompeii, Hercula-
neu and the other cities of the plain.

Butchers are the worlds best weight
guessers. The butchers difficult trade
gives him a skill in weight guessing
that is almost incredible. 1t is a com
monplace thing in a meat shop to see a
butcher seize hold of a huge red round
of beef and slash off with a great knife
four pounds just, or two and "A half
pounds just, or six pounds just, ac.
cording to the order. The buyer of
meat wants TO get the weight he asked
for, no more and NJ less, and he wants
this weight in M piece, not in one big
piece and two or three little ones. To
satisfy the buyer the butcher has been
compelled to acquire extraordinary
skill in judging just how much a Ger
tain portion of a round of meat weighs
and in cutting Off that portion smooth
ly and accurately. Cincinnati En-.
