Roast Pig In Servia.

The favorite dish of the Servians. says writer in the Wide World Maga- zine, consists of lamb or sucking pig roasted whole over ashes. A pit is first dug and filled with wood-vine branches for choice, as they give the best flavor-and the fire is then allow ed to burn for several hours. The car cass is next impaled with a stout stick and slowly turned round and round over the embers. The result. after six hours turning, is a very luscious meal, for all the gravy is kept in and the meat is unusually tender. No picnic in Servia is considered complete with out this delicacy. A story goes that on one of his campaigns Napoleon mo- ticed a group of Servian soldiers cook ing meat in this way. whereupon he came up, inquired what they were dO- ing. tasted the meat and was delighted with it.

Races of Mankind

The races of mankind are five in number-white, yellow, brown. red and black, or the Caucasian, Mongo- lian, Malayan, Indian and negro. The interrelationships of these different breeds have been the subject of study with the specialists for ages, but the disputes are as numerous as they were when the study began. Whether the various races sprang from some one original race and if so what that orig inal race was, is question that is still in limbo. Between these five races, as found at present, there are physical. moral and mental differences so mark ed as to seem to preclude a common origin and yet, unless such origin is assumed, the difficulty of the case is greatly enhanced. Race origins are an unsolved problem.-New York Ameri- can.

The Old Time staaecoach.

In 1762 there were. strange as it seems, only six stagecoaches running in all England. and of course these were the only public vehicles for tray elers. Even these were q novelty. and a person named John .Crosset thought they were such a dangerous innovation that he wrote pamphlet against them.
 '"These cOachees," he wrote, make gentlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent ne- cessity. Nay. the conveniency of the passage makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long journeys on horseback. would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be ill the wade. get fine clothes, go to plays and treats and by these means get such a habit of idle ness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after"

Scotiand's "Daft Days.r

So hilarious were the old cereInO- nies of welcoming the new year in Scotland that Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 won for themselves the designation of the daft days" Temperance legislation has done much in recent years to mod crate and refine the festivities, which still, however, assume extensive and exuberant proportions. Only few years ago writer in the London Chronicle in Edinburgh on New Years eve saw the Black Maria perambu- lating the streets and picking up the hopelessly drunken persons from the pavements and doorsteps for convey ance to the police station.
 It was formerly the custom in Ire land and Wales to carry a lantern tastefully decorated with ribbons and containing q wren, round each hamlet and village on New Years day and make calls on dwellers in cottage and hall. The bearers, swinging the an- tern at each door. would favor all whom it might concern with a song and receive a monetary reward

Rainbows That Can Chance Sex.

In many parts of the world it is the general belief that the rainbow has the power to change sex. This queer belief obtains in such widely separated districts as South Africa and Norway and China and Australia. The Zulus have long folklore story of the young man who was changed into q. wrinkled old woman by touching the many hued arch. The Scandinavian peasants have similar story, and in Greece they say that anybody who runs against the end of the rainbow will have his or her sex instantly changed. In France and h. dia to pass under the rainbow has similar effect.
