way. Is q good deal more interesting.
This is King Stephen Dusanovic,
scion of the house of Dusan, who
during the past two years has or.
ganized about him a junta Of Serv-
ians. with a smattering Of Americans,
which. with New York as headquar-
tiers, has been working actively for
the overthrow of King Peter. while
Awaiting a favorable moment to re.
turn to Servia and claim his own.
1t IL stated by certain Servians here
that within three months King Ste.
phan has taken the oaths of office as
ruler of Servia, and that his claims
to the bl~ood-stained throne OF Alex
lander have been reviewed and sane
toned by ecclesiastical authorities in
Servia. 1t Ia further said that the
government Of the United States and
all the governments Of Europe have
had their official attention called to
the fact that King Stephan Dusanovic
Is the only lawful ruler OF Servia,
and that favorable answers have been
received from some of the European
governments which have rec.
ognized the kingship of Peter Kara
georgevitch. and have refused to be
represented at the court of Belgrade.

Clever With the Cards.

Some years ago certain county jail
was undergoing extensive alterations,
during which time gang of pickpock-
cts, four in number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for time in one
cell, but were placed under strict sur
VIGILANCE, the care Of them being spe-
cially intrusted to the sergeant. The
day after during his rounds he spied
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned fell
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners We're most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However. the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
p1ckpocketS We're to be sent to the as
sizes for trial Then the superintend-
ent, very Kind man and great IA
Vorite with every one. asked them as
favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
in his pocket and picked it again be-
fore he left, as a proof Of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where a youthful Hindoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court in the first instance,
where the brides parents, says the
Natal Mercury, accused her husband of
abducting her while under thirteen
years Of age. The bride, however,
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court a tug Of war took place between
the two p:.lt as for the possession of
the bride, il the course of which it ap-
peared that what her parents particu-
larry desired was not herself, but her
jewelry. A "ergeant of police then sat
in judgmen and decided that the jew
elry belonged to the parents, and the
girl must cheese between her husband
and her bracelets After some cogita-
ton she chose the husband, who
promptly unfastened the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents.

yesterday dined with Dominican
friars at the convent of San Clemente.
Archbishop Manning and several peo-
pie of note were there We had jo-
vial dinner and good wine, and every
dish was Italian, not to say Italianis-
simo. After dinner we went into a
small coffee room, where the inquisitor
tried to light fire, with small success.
Some one cried out. 'Ah, padre, the
days have gone by when fires can be
lighted by inquisitorsv and there was
a roar Of laughter in which the padre

What a Mans Beard Tells.

"You can tell some Of a mans habits
and read some of his traits Of charac-
ter from his BEARD" said the old bar
Der. IF man spends his days at Il
desk beside a window his hair and
beard will grow faster OH the side to-
ward the window. Plants and boards
both flourish under the influence Of
sunlight. Why, one Of my customers
found the effects Of the side light so
pronounced that he changed his Office
desk to face the window. Another in
teresting fact is that, when a man is
up late or works long hours, he needs
a shave oftener than if he took the
usual amount Of sleep. That's because
in being awake he keeps the vital proc
esses of his body in greater activity
than when asleep. The growth Of the
hair depends largely on the circulation
Of the blood, and the heart slows down
when we sleep" kansas City Star. -

A North Alta ntic Curiositv.

"In the midst of the north Atlantic
there is an enormous field Of floating
seaweed which kept it's place presum-
ably for centuries" said an old sea
captain. "It occupies an immense
eddy about the fifty-sixth degree Of
west longitude and between the TWEEN
ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees Of
north latitude. There is a great differ
ence of opinion regarding the origin of
this floating mass. Some believe it to
be detached from rocks at considera-
bic depth in the latitude where it
floats. Others suppose it to come from
the shores Of the northern seas. having
been detached from the rocks by the
violence Of the winds. Some again i'm
agine that it comes from the rocky
shores of Florida and Mexico, while
many others agree with me in bcliev-
ing that it has never had any other
than its present place of abode No
one has ever seen it attached to rocks,
nor have roots ever been discovered
belonging to it,

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from Il :
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

It Is heavier than the smoke, and the
latter therefore ascends. The weight
Of the earth's atmosphere, or, in other
words, the pressure exerted upon the
earth by the atmosphere, is about the
same as would be exerted by food
Of water thirty three feet in height
over the globe. At the sea level the
pressure Of the atmosphere Is about
fifteen pounds to the square inch. A,
man of ordinary size thus bears all the
time pressure of about 10000 pounds,
but he does not feel it, because the,
pressure Is exerted in every direction
above, below and around him-and be-
cause his body is filed with air and
other fluids that press outward, thus
maintaining state of equilibrium.

Romance Of tho Char.

Ing cigars for birthday present. The
man smelled them, looked at the label
and then, with tears in his eyes, said:

I will keep them always as a token Of
your love-" His wife was so touched

three boxes of the same brand and had
them charged to her husband. When
she gave them to him she said: Here,

them and enjoy them" Topeka State
