THE MONTENEGRO.

Vendetta.
To listen to a Bulgar singing is to
make ones flesh creep or want to
weep The centuries of cruel oppres-
sion are only too manifest In Bulgarian
music and words, but Montenegrin
grows restless over his songs and
curses the powers that forbid him to
emulate his forefathers deeds en-
masse across the frontier. He does
SO whenever he can, but only in twos
and threes.
When the Montenegro goes raiding
across the border it is really a more
sporting affair than the well equipped
and organized outings of the Bulgar
''Comitatchis. With him it is usually
a private act of revenge or vendetta
to which he invites one or two friends.
Then they steal across the border at
night, find heir man, do their best to
kill him aud then make trt. Ks home
ward with the whole district nj their
heels. Perhaps he method of killing
is not up to the standard of western
sport. for they shoot their victim sit
ting" SO to speak, and do not give him
a chance, but us it is the recognized
system on both sides little can be said.
This custom makes men very wary,
and the stranger can appreciate the
reason when he sees plowman, for
instance, attending TO his duties with
a rife slung over his back. But in
spite of this they are the essence of
honor and hospitality. AS their guest
no one can come to any harm, and
they will do all in their power to make
his stay among them pleasant and

HANGING OF HAMMocKs.
How to Accomplish This and Make
Them Comfortable.

How to Accomplish This and Make
Them Comfortable.
A seasoned camper who has learned
many things to make outdoor living
comfortable has given this rule for
hanging a hammock:
The head should be two feet higher
than the foot. This gives comfort
able curve The proper distance is
about six feet from the ground for the
head end and four feet for the foot.
Another important point is to have
the head rope shorter than that at the
foot of the hammock. If the head one
is about a foot long and the other four
and half feet, the head of the per-
son will feel little movement while the
body swings. This overcomes that
feeling of nausea which keeps many
persons out of q hammock.
There are many improved hammocks
these days. Those with stiffening for
both ends give almost the effect Of an
open air bed Some of them have
slightly raised sides to prevent falling

CLEANING OF FuRs.
How It Can Be Done by the Use of
Simple Remedies,


Ermine and miniver are best clean
ed with soft flannel Rub the fur well
against the grain, then dip the flannel
into common -four and rub the fur un-
til clean; shake the fur and again rub
it with fresh piece Of soft, clean, new
flannel till the -four is out. By this
process the color of the ermine is pre-
served, and the lining need not be re-
moved. Sable, chinchilla, squirrel, ETC.,
are cleaned with new bran, which
must be warmed very carefully in a
pan, but not burnt; therefore while
waiting stir it frequently. Rub the
warm bran into the fur for some time,
shake it and brush until free from
bran. The fur will clean better If the
stuffing and lining are removed and
the article laid as straight and fiat as
possible on a table or board
Well brush the fur before it is clean
ed, and If there are any moth eaten
parts they must be removed and re-
placed with new pieces. The follow
ing method is said to be adopted in
Russia: Some rye -four is put into a
pan upon the stove and heated, being
stirred constantly with the hand as
long as the heat can be borne Then
the -four is spread all over the fur and
rubbed in we'll 1t is then brushed
gently with very clean brush or beat

Of fulfilling his promise. According 10
Homer, the burning Of the dead was
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
earliest record of 1t is among the
Scythians, who Inhabited the vast re-
gion known under the name of Tar

concerning the manners of some of the
ancient natives of Hlndustan also al
lude to the custom. Tue idea of puri-

sal, and with good reason Some be-
lieved that the body was unclean after
the departure of the soul, and it was
therefore deemed necessary that it
should be purified by fire. Ovid ex-
pressed the general opinion Of his time
when he said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body
until the latter was consumed on the
pyre. The Athenians invariably after
