Ancient Edifice in Servia That
Was Built in 1907.

Tschatschak. Servia-The following
narrative was written by woman,
who was the first of her sex to visit
the Monastery of Zica, near this city.
She tells of her experiences in the an
cient edifice. 1t follows:
We got away from Tschatschak at
two o'clock for the Monastery OF Zica,
pronounced Schitscha, which stands
high amid the mountains, five kilome-
ters from Kraljeyo. II was built in
1907 and is the monastery in which
Seryian kings are crowned, a special
door being made for each and walled
up after the ceremony. It was here
that King Alexander Obrenowitsch,
poor unfortunate, was crowned in
1892, and the present King Peter in
1904.
Two hours more OF climbing and we
arrived at the Cabana OF Studenitza.
before the monastery gates. Inside, to
our surprise, all was clean and we'll
kept the paths, the green turf, the
trees laden with fruit and we'll cared
for. and the beautiful marble church
itself with its fine doors and dome. We
were Immediately received by the arch
imandrite (bishop), the head of the
monastery, who seemed most>delighted
to see US and told me was the first
stranger woman he had ever received.
We were at once taken upstairs into
the guest rooms of the convent-a long
corridor of clean boards, the only clean
rooms | had seen since left home.
Here we took the inevitable slatko and
very good slivOvitz and cabowitz. which
is a liquor made from grapes, and
then went into the churches-the first
and Oldest, small chapel Of the tenth
century, full Of old frescoes, in a per-
feet state of preservation-except that
the Turks shot out the eyes of the
saints when they occupied the con-
vent
There are fourteen or fifteen small
chapels-one behind the cathedral
built by Stepan Urosch, grandson OF
the holy Simeon, who founded the con-
vent in 1914. The cathedral, of white
marble, built in the twelfth cen
fury, is the most beautiful monument
of old Seivia and we'll worth the long
journey to see Owing to q stupid adj
dition, the beautiful old carved doors

THE MOSQUITO CIRCLE
League PerpetuAted for Sanguinary
Campaign Against the Dent
zens OF the Water Front.

The other night the Mosquito Cir
Gle met on the dock, and considered
ways and means to perfect the har-
Dor and to protect all rights on the
eugene process of propagating the
species.
Primarily II was the semi-neces-
sary meeting for the election OF
officers. the last administration hay-
Ing proved too economical. After
considerable acrimonious and peey-
ish discussion the following were
selected as the heads until such
time as they proved their inability
to comply with anyyunreasonable de-
mand:
DR.. Studdert' grand master hold
OF the net; DR.. Low, exalted
spreader OF the dope; ID. c. Nc
Dougall, chief holder OF the berga-
mot; M. q. Hughes, guardian OF
the humps; Clyde Hanson, extra
ordinary apologizer; Claude thinner
man, dipper of the balm; Triple-O
Ogden, searcher for the exchequer;
j. w. Fisher, gallinipper warden.
Among other things discussed was
money. but the presence Of the
subject matter was not sufficient to
create elaborate argument. Owing
to the stringency of matters in the
east 1t was concluded to keep no
surplus lucre in the treasury. A
further rule was passed docking all
mosquitoes, and a special agent from
the game department will stand on
the dock every evening with a pair
of nail-clips.
Pedestrian rules will be enforced
as follows: All crossing the bridge
will wear a white light over and a
red light back; after the counter
sign is given growl like a hippopo-
tamus; no articles should be car
ried in the hispocket that might
break If dropped, as glass will cut
auto tires; in standing on the dock
don't step on your foot; in APP
preaching a mosquito make a noise
like cinnamon oil, lift the right
clenched fist and drive straight
ahead, using reasonable diligence
when the insect is perched on the
other fellows eye; If it is on open
work hosiery the flat of the hand,
used in stroking manner. is APP
proved; never hit a mosquito when
he Is busy but run him down, break
his leg and shoot him; use sanitary
methods in removing the remains,
dead ones and tin tops; don't hum
like a mosquito, but sing, kid.
The next meeting will be after
lunch.
