HARD LIFE OF BALKAN WOMEN
Their Lot Probably 10 the Worst Of
Any Of Their Sex In European
Countries.

In the midst Of the success OF the
Balkan arms against Turkey, the fact
must not be lost sight OF that the
brunt Of the hardships will fall on the
women Of the Balkans, for Of all the
races in Europe, the lot Of the women
Of the Balkans is probably the hardest.
AS is the general rule throughout the
near east, the women is the mainstay
Of the family. usually the sole worker,
and just now the wives and mothers Of
the men Of the Balkan states are pre-
pairing to face hard, cold winter.
While their lords and masters are
absent on conquest, 1t devolves on the
women to care for the herds and to
maintain what family life there is in
the wild, half-savage region Of the
Balkans. In Servia there Is just one
time when woman plays a prominent
part in the affairs Of life and that Is
on her wedding feast. These occa-
sions last sometimes q week and are
times Of great ceremony and rejoic-
ing. The courtships are conducted by
go-betweens. The wedding feast is so
expensive that 1t Is frequently evaded
by a well-arranged kidnapping. the
brides being stolen and taken to the
church, where q priest Is in waiting.

Lister Methods.

A recent number Of the London Ian.
Get gives an interesting account Of the
life Of Lister. the great surgeon, who
discovered the aseptic precautions to
be taken after surgical operations.
Lister, much like Harvey, who proved
the theory Of the circulation Of the
blood, was a careful and conscien-
tious man who avoided print until he
had thoroughly proved the value Of
his discovery. The great objection In
his mind was that he felt that until
every surgeon was convinced Of the
necessity for asepsis and Of the value
Of the methods he advocated and was
efficiently skilled in them, it would be
a serious matter to publish successful
results of operations which 1t would
be practically criminal to perform un-
less complete asepsis was secured.
Lister was evidently that rare product,
even rare in the medical profession, a
modest man.

Came to Sense as to Diet.

"If you wish for anything like hap

eat and drink. Did ever tell you

Now, fellow citizens, this is not
only wrong, but it is indecent. Such
corruption and cowardice ought not
to be tolerated by the people. A
shaking up is needed and some men
retired to private life to cogitate
and ponder over the fate of those
who betray the trust the people have
reposed in them. This is day and

their Southern patrons the same as

GOOD AID FOR HoRsEsHoERS
Apparatus, Strapped on Animals Back,
Holds Foot up and Eliminates
Danger of Kicking.

Horseshoeing has been made sim
pier and safer operation through the
invention of an Alabama man. This
consists of an apparatus that straps
on the back Of the horse or mule and
holds up the foot to be shed. thus saw
ing the blacksmith the trouble of hold
ing it between his knees and eliminat-
ing the possibility of the animal kick
ing the man through the wall when he
gets restless. A saddle, with lever
pivoted to it, is strapped to the horses
back. Pivoted to the lever is long
bar that runs over the animals back,
with the front end fastened to his col
lar. Over the rear end of the bar
hangs a foot support with band that
