A Stone Eater.

The oldest diet in the world is
stones. In an old volume Of the Gen
tleman's Magazine is described the dis
covery of stone eater ''in a northern
inhabited island" by the crew OF a
Dutch ship. They brought him to
France in May, 1850. where he was
submitted to all kinds Of scientific
tests. 1t was proved that he throve
better on stones than on any other
food. and his dinner usually consisted
of large sized flints, with powdered
marbles for dessert He became a
great attraction at fashionable gather
ings,, where he amused the guests by
swallowing stones and afterward con-
vincing them that there was no decep-
ton by making them rattle in his
stomach.-London Chronicle.

Wide Girdles.

Wide girdles are clever expedients
by which any bulk around the waist
is eliminated. and therefore the pam

need hold no terrors for slender women.
Wide girdles are folded over shapes
that show pointed underlines. They
are slightly round and in some unique
models are cut up in squares around
the waist line.
They are extremely high and resem-

A part OF Adrianople has been set
on fire by the Bulgarian artillf
which carried on a bombardment, &C
cording to dispatches from the vicia-
jty.
The Bulgarian troops have taken
the outlying forts of Maras, Havaras,
and Sufilar, north and northeast of
the city, and have captured a rail-
road station in the outskirts of the
town. Eighteen hundred prisoners
have fallen into their hands.
No Officers Among Prisoners.
Eight hundred and sixty prisoners
who arrived here from Mustapha
Pasha were captured in some of the
smaller towns taken by the Bulgar-
ians. The entire absence Of Turkish
officers among the prisoners captured
at Kirk-Kilissen arouses comment, as
the first reports represented that the
whole garrison had been taken.

Acknowledge Scutari May Fall.
The Bulgarians are said to have
captured Nevrekop on the way from
Sofia to the sea.
The Turkish minister of war in an
interview says that it is probable
that Scutari may fall to the Montene-
grins, but that it's capture is of little
Importance He says that Turkey
will punish Montenegro as soon as
she is done with Servia and Bulgaria.
The Servians have taken Buchitrim

There had been an explosion aboard.
Turkish Commander Not Killed.
The report that Mukhtar Pasha, the
Turkish commander at Kirk-Kilesseh,
was killed is not true. His son was
captured by the victorious Bulgars.
The Montenegrins trained the cap
tured Turkish guns on Scutari and
the bombardment of that place is ex-
pected., Montenegro emissaries have
entered the town to demand it's CAPT
tulation and the Turks have with
drawn their garrison to the southern
heights of Zadrina. This is thought
to be the first move toward evacua-
ton.
