Albanian Customs

Some strange customs exist in Al
bania. To compliment an unmarried
woman, for instance, is provocation
for death. A bloody enemy is under
amnesty while in the company of a
woman A woman may shoot a fance
who breaks his betrothal or call upon
the young mans father to kill him. If
a man commits murder, and, flying for
his life, enters the house of another,
friend or foe, he is safe. This is the
case, even If he takes refuge in the
house of a brother of the man he has
slain. He may not remain there for
ever; but for three days he can live
on the best that the house provides.
When that time is up, he is shown on
his way. Twenty-four hours is given
him to make his escape; after that
the amnesty is over and the blood
feud begins.-The Balkan Trail

An EXAGGERATED Case,

Macomb Journal: At the National
Medical association at Washington
this week it was the general opinion
of the body that the danger of co...
nlunicating tuberculosis in milk is
greatly overrated. That's what the
Journal has always said. That's what
it said when the state board of health,
under Governor Tanner, got on hys-
terical raid and went killing cows
right and left all over the state. The
Journal is not one of those that be-
lieves that kindly province puts in
the natural food of people germs for
their destruction. And it Is glad that
the medical fraterniay has the same
way OF thinking. Germs and mi
crobes theory can be run into the
ground as well as many other things
that are all right until they are over
worked.
