The Bosnian Roastino lack.

A curious variety Of the old fash
Toned roasting Jack is used by the
peasants of Bosnia and Herzegovina
when roasting sheep whole, as on the
occasion Of wedding ceremony. One
often sees near running stream a
long pole having one end revolving
freely in a socketed peg, while the
other, overhanging the water, is equip
ped with miniature paddles. This is
the Bosnian roasting Jack. The sheep
to be cooked is impaled on the log,
a fire is lit underneath, and while
the current spins the paddles aud the
pole merrily round the big joint is
cooked literally to a turn.-Wide World

Long Talks In London.

Those who sometimes complain OF
the inadequate telephone facilities OF
London doubtless do not realize that
the metropolitan telephones area is by
far the largest city telephone area in
the world, covering over GAO square
miles, a space in which Paris, Berlin,
Vienna, st. Petersburg, New York and
Chicago could all be set out with room
to spare. The difficulties and the cost
of building and maintaining uniform
telephone system at uniform rates I'm
such a vast area, especially without
proper facilities for constructing un.

Voice OF American Women.

Why is 1t always the women of
America who are rebuked for their
way of speaking when 1t is really the
men who deserve scoldlng? Amer.
lean women have their pecularities,
but their voices and their accents are
at any rate careful, and have a refine
ment of their own--not an English
finish. but very perceptible one, says
a writer In the London Chronicle. On
the other hand American men very
seldom have what one must call. so as
to be understood, an educated voice.
The first thing that strikes the new.
conner In the United States Is the I'M
cultivated speech of gentlemen. 1t is
unlike anything in Europe. unless
some of the intonations in south Ger.
many may be likened to 1t. And this
makes the very great difference be.
tween Boston and the other cities.
The Boston man has the very sound OF
Oxford. But let us cease to complain
OF the clear and elastic pronunciation
of the women.

EXCITING INCIDENT IN CHURCH.
Burning Hat Not Unnaturally Cause
OF Great Commotion.

An exciting incident occurred In
church at Heaton Moor, Manchester,
England during a recent service.
While the congregation were singing
the last hymn a tall waving plume IN
young lady's hat was ignited at
gas bracket and began to blaze. The
flames we're observed by member OF
the choir. and he Immediately LEFT the
choir stalls and ran down the chancel
Pulling off his coat as he went he
rushed past the lectern and down one
of the aisles to where the lady was
standing. Two school boys sitting be-
hind saw what had occurred, and in
stantly began to search for the nat
pins The lady, not knowing the rea-
son for such liberty, had not recov-
cred from her first shock of indignant
surprise before she was stunned with
amazement by the apparition OF a
wild.eyed, coatless person unmistaka-
bly, bearing down on her The congre-
cation naturally turned round to fol.
low the movements of the sprinting
choirster. Just before he reached her
the school boys solved the mystery or
tho hat pins and and dragged the nat
off her head and stamped the fire out
with their feet. This act, however,
was too late to save her from the in
tention of her imperions rescuer. who
enveloped her face and head with his
coat. The congregation were inwardly
convulsed. the young lady collapsed,
and the reaction of the excitement was
clearly defined on the face of the gal
liant gentleman as he retraced his
steps to the choir stalls.

FOR ONE LONELY VOTER.
Remarkable Election Held in a Dis

about 500 inhabitants. Some time

election was declared legally valid.
and the other nine candidates were
duly notified of their election. They
have since declined in body to be
elected by a single vote. The good
natured citizen, therefore, who alone
voted now constitutes by himself the
town council OF Les Sables. What is
stranger still is that he may invoke a
precedent. In fact. on a previous oc.
casion, another citizen was also the
sole voter at an election, and voted
for himself, remaining legally in Office

FIiQht OF Clouds,

A member of the staff of the Blue
Hill Observatory, near Boston. has re-
ported that observations made there
show that the average speed with
which clouds. between 5000 and 5000
feet high, move is so miles an hour
In midsummer and 10 miles an hour
in midwinter. The swiftest flight of
cloud yet measured was 230 miles
an hour.
