4oFvIah women.

There 10 no country in the world
where women occupy more dignided
or honored position In the home than
Servia. The Servian idea Is quite diff
ferent from that Of the Turk, who
keeps his women behind shut doors, or
the German, whose ideal woman Is a
good hausfrau. In Servia the woman
Is the companion Of the man. A man
Is responsible for his unmarried sisters,
and throughout the Balkan states it is
considered rather a breach Of etiquette
for him to marry before his older sis
ter. No Servian girl would feel she
could hold up her head in society I'M
less she could speak four languages.
There is hardly a Servian woman who
cannot play some musical instrument.
Embroidery, painting, drawing and
sculpture ore all studied. Politics is
popular feature among women. Ser
Wan women are very domesticated, and
the highest ladies pay personal atten.
ton to trivial matters of housekeeping.

A Quaint Oriental Story.

A recent English traveller in Balu-
chistan had from holy man in that
country a story about Moses which
does not appear in the Scriptures. yet
which has its pertinence to this mat
ter Of politicians proposing to do away
with all the evils Of the human lot,
says the Century Magazine. The patri-
arch was sitting in his house very sad.
and the Lord said to him, Prophet
Moses, why art thou cast DOWN.
"Alas," said he, II see so many people
sorrowful. Some are unclothed, and
some are hungry. I pray thee make all
happy and contented." The Lord prom
Used II should be 80. But soon Moses
was again disconsolate, and once more
the Lord asked the cause. Lord, "
cried the prophet, "the upper story Of
my house has fallen down, and nobody
will come to mend it; they are all too
busy enjoying themselves" "But wha.
am I to do?" Lord. make the people
40 they were before!''

Dogs That Resemble Bears.

I It has already been noted by scien-
lists that certain mountain dogs have
shapes and assume attributes resem-
bling those Of bear. Among these
dogs the sheep dog of the Pyrenees
bears closer resemblance to the bear
than most others. Although he is sell
dom over twenty inches high. his bones
are very massive and his muscles ex-
ceptionaily developed. His fur is
thick, consisting of long, fine, silky
hair, either black, dun colored or gray.
His head is large and the nose taper
ing, the eyes small, but sharp and
lustrous and his ears always "atten-
tive" The toes and the base of the
feet are elongated and nat. The tail
- very short or even entirely missing.
and BY his manner Of climbing the
abrupt mountain slopes he may easily
be mistaken for young bear.

Zach took his or ner part in a most
graceful, we'll poised manner. The
choruses were wonderfully worked mp
and did credit to professional train
ling. The Rustic Maddens were bearti-
full and made one quite envy the farm
and the farmers daughters or the
farmers sons-which? Prince Toby,
man from the court and man &c
consequence-was great fun for the
entire audience. The acting was ma
tural and easy and the singing in good
part. Alma Olson, Laila Platou and
Dorothy jagged as Polly, Molly ana
Dolly, the farmers daughters and lead
ers of the rustic maidens deserve spe-
cial mention. The farm lads otDok

Weston as the tall, galky farmer nnl

Even Rhys-Herbert himself xonll

also the Perhaps Chorus" when the

OF the lads. The pretty little compll
ments paid the maidens by Deane
Brooks as First Lad" was worthy II

and showed good dramatic effect in
her singing. She has a clear. sweet
