Artist Ziem's Queer House.

Ziem, the artist, was a queer char
acter. lie lived in a house at the
top Of the Rue LEIPZIG, on Mont
martre. His house was his castle in
the literal sense of the word. 1t
was difficult to obtain admission, for
the painter had an upper window
out of which he always looked when
the bell rang and Intercepted his
would be visitors. He had a basket
which he let down by a cord to re-
ceive packages or messages, and he
slept in a wonderful swinging bed.
His house vas a veritable museum,
Illuminated Persian manuscripts be-
ing part of his collection. Some of
these were worth thousands of
francs, but it was impossible to per-
suade him to sell any of them. In
place of a newell post on his stair
way stood the prov of a gilded gon-
dola, and, closely immured in his
studio, he painted pictures of Ven
ice and babe defiance to all who
came to disturb his peace.

A GLIMPSE OF MONTENEGRO.
Where the King May Gossip From q
Window With His Subjects.

Once over the mountain and
across the Montenegrin frontier,
the first impression is that of the
absolute desolation of the country.
Nothing but bleak, gray, stony
mountain ranges, one after the 9th
er, as far as the eye can reach, into
the misty distance. Not a habita-
ton, not a tree of any size, not a
sign of life. The outlook suggests
an imaginative Autograph of the
beginning of the world.
Only n evidence Of human ex-
istence is seen. Along the road side
are numerous fiat bottomed pockets
of land, where a little cultivable
soil has washed down the rocky
slopes, and in each of these pockets
a few potato plants have been care
fully set out. Often the pocket is
so small as TO contain only a dozen
plants, but in a land so sterile and
stony every square foot Of soil is
thriftily utilized. No houses are
visible, and people must come miles
to cultivate these struggling patches.
Cetinje lies in the middle of a
email, fertile plain, which was once
the bed of an ancient lake, sur
rounded by grim hills. 1t is a town
Of about $500 inhabitants-hardly
more than a village-and yet it is
the capital of a nation that has for
generations preserved its identity
against far greater neighbors whose
rapacity for territorial expansion
is too well known to require com
ment. In her sturdy spirit of self
defense little Montenegro leaves
naught for criticism.
There is not much of the formal
ity Of a European capital about &C.

a window in casual conversation
with one of his subjects.
The principal hotel of the town
is kept by a magnificent looking
man, who at the time of my visit
was minister of war. The conduct
of his hotel was decidedly uncere-
monious, except that the Austrian
minister and the Italian minister
appeared for dinner every night in
full dress. Probably each one felt
that the dignity of his country must
be maintained at all hazards, and
neither one could take it on him
self to suggest a sartorial disarma-
ment.
Strict formality is exercised in
some branches of the government.

Superstition of the Turks.

The superstition of the Turks is
nowhere so apparent as in their fear
OF the "evil eye" Jugs placed
around the edge of the roof or an
old shoe filled with garlic and blue
beets (blue glass balls or rings is
a sure guard against the illusion.
Whenever a pretty child is playing
upon the street the passersby will
say, ooh, what an ugly childl' for
fear of melting the evil spirit
against its beauty. The peasant
classes in Turkey are of course the
most superstitious because they are
the most ignorant. They have no
education whatever and can neither
read nor write.

Found a Way.

A widow of an old Lyceum the
alter servant applied to Irving for
some sort of occupation about the
theater whereby she might earn a
living. Irving appealed to Loveday,
his manager.
"There is absolutely no vacancy
of any kind" said Loveday.
Cant you give her a job to look
after the theater cats? | think
we've too many mice about, not to
mention rats"
NO." said Loveday, "there are
two women already on that job"
"Hum, Ina, let me see," said
Irving refectively, then suddenly

limitations.

No member of the British parlia-
ment is permitted to say bluntly
and directly that another is drunk,
but he may hint at the fact in peri
phrase, as when Mr.. Gladstone, re-
plying to an unconventional speech
of Disraeli's, remarked, "The right
honorable gentleman has evidently
had access TO sources of inspiration
that are not open to me-" A violent
scene was caused in the parliament
of Victoria, Australia, by a labor
member saying of a legal colleague,
"The honorable and learned gentle
man was once called to the bar, and
he has since gone frequently with
out being called" The angry bar
rister re.orted, "You tea drinking
skunk" Eventually both withdrew
and apologized.

Forest Air.

There is a general impression that
the humidity of the air is greater in
the woods than in the open fields.
This is contradicted, however, by
the result of observations made in
Germany. 1t was found there that
the humidity, both relative and alb
%solute, was slightly greater in the
open than in the woods, and this
was true equally in the morning
and in the afternoon. As to the
temperature of the air among the
trees, it was a trihe higher than in
the open in the morning and in a
more marked degree in the after
noon.

SHAW'S VELVET JACKET.
The ~BeIliserent Critics Revolt In a
London Theater.

George Bernard Shaw, writer,
cynical critic, Socialist and mischief
making Irishman, was always I'M
conventional in his dress, first from
necessity and afterward from choice.
He says that at one time my clothes
turned green, and l trimmed my
cuffs to the quick with a scissors
and wore my tall hat with the back
part in front, so hat the brim
should not bend double when I
took it off to an acquaintance"
Archibald Henderson in his
George Bernard Shaw" writes:
despite the loyal protest of the
secretary of the Fabian society, who
once wrote me vehemently assert
ing that Shaw always wore perfect
" normal and conventional clothes,
it must be admitted that Shaw has
been associated throughout his life
with queer sartorial tastes. The
notorious velvet jacket which he
wore during the days of his activity
as a critic of the drama furnished
the casus belli in Shaw's war with
the theater managers. Shaw refused
point blank to obey the ironclad
regulation that occupants of stalls
must wear evening clothes. The IT.
repressible conflict was precipitated
one night when Shaw was stopped
at the door Of the theater by the
attendant.
"What do you object top asked
Shaw; the velvet jacket? The at
tendant nodded assent.
"'Very WELL exclaimed Shaw, no
whit abashed, Il will remove it,
And the next instant he was strid-
ing up the aisle in his shirt sleeves.
"'Here, that won't doH shouted
the attendant in great alarm, hurry
ing after Shaw and stopping him
with great difficulty.
"|Won't do?' cried Shaw, with
fine assumption of Indignation. DO
you think | an going to take off any
more?'
"And with that he promptly re
donned his velvet jacket and, turn
ing on his heel, left the house.
Shaw finally won the battle and
enjoyed his triumph in face of the
objection Of managers and the in
dignation Of the fashionable and
wealthy theater goers."

Wilbert Robinson, formerly back

The result of Robinson's success is
hat he has been placed almost in en-
ire charge Of the team, McGraw elect
ing to witness each game from the side
lines, although all the work that once
purdened his shoulders has been
.hifted to the Baltimorean. For his

Robbie recently spent two days IN

and to work the signals from the
bench.
There is no doubt in my mind
about the National league winning
this season." Robbie says. We've got
the pennant cinched, and there will
be a new champion team of the world
when the big series OF next fall is
over with. There is no secret to the
success of our team. 1t is the best
aggregation of players in baseball,
and there is not a weak spot any
where. Team work figures largely in
the results, but that's what makes or
breaks any club, as without ii no or
