BALKAN WAR BEGAN IN 1863
Conflict of Races Started Long Ago,
Seems Destined Now to Be Fought
to a Finish.

An Italian newspaper reminds us
usefully that the Balkan war began
centuries ago. In the state archives
at Vienna is the declaration of war
sent by Sultan Mehemet ". to En-
peror Leopold in 1882. "Be it known
to you, the heir Of the Caesars, to the
king Of Poland, and to your allies
and omnipotent emperor of the east
and west, is on the point Of
invading your paltry territories. We
shall bring 100000 soldiers, on horse
and foot, to crush you utterly and lay
waste all your domains. We command
you to await our coming in our our
residence in Vienna, where it is our
intention to have you beheaded-"
But the war was even then an old
story. The delightful writer who con-
tributes THE Office Window to the
London Daily Chronicle tells us that
while searching through some of the
earliest newspapers printed his eye
was continually diverted to news let

Aewera Of Wood

WERE ALL ONE TO HIM
HORACE GREELEY NOT PARTlcU.
LAR AS TO FOODS HE ATE.
Amusing Stories Told by the Late
WhiteIaw Reid Concerning the
Eccentricities of His Famous
Chief at Table.

Several of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid, used to relate of Horace Gree
ley, his old chief on the Tribune, have
recently been going the rounds of the
press Most of them refer to his Pc
culiarities in the office; few to those
he displayed in company, especially at
table, where his Observation-Disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper
with q daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. 1t was simple, and
there were plenty of the graham things
that he advocated so ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there
were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr..
once, and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand, he reached for
a hot ROLAND then for another. AS
he began on a third. his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted to see
that he liked her rolls, but that she
had thought he did not eat such things,
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unperturbed re-
joinder; and he made his entire meal
off the delicious but indigestible rolls
that his own decree had banished from
the Greeley home-leaving scant few
for his table companions, who had to
exc out their supper with the unde-
sired gems.
But If he was funny when he knew
what he ate, he was funnier when he
did not-as in the famous episode Of
the crullers, which occurred at the
table of his boarding house. When the
crullers we're passed to him, instead
of taking single cruller, he accepted
the entire basket and absently placed
it in his lap as he continued his dis
course. Presently, vaguely aware Of
something there, his hand wandered
downward and encountered cruIler
This he mechanically grasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
Of what he was doing, he ate and
talked, and talked and ate; cruller
after cruller disappeared until the bas-
ket was empty. The company were
convulsed with suppressed merriment;
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account of possible results, remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap, she put in its place
a plate of cheese, trusting to Provi-
dence that his habituated hand would
continue its action. 1t did. His talk
flowed on, but his fingers found the
cheese, and it, too. disappeared to the
last crumb.
"Those who saw the sight," it is
declared, were firm in the belief that
Mr.. Greeley did not know he had eaten
anything that evening. Com

Electricity and Plant Life,

The theory has been advanced and
backed up by experiments which are
at least interesting, that pointed
leaves standing up at the top of grow
ing plants attract electricity from the
atmosphere and that such electric
forces aid materially in the growth OF
plants so equipped by nature. One in
vestigator, R. E. Dimick of Almena,
Wis, reports that vegetables which
were well cultivated have shown a
smaller growth than the normal when
they had pointed wires stuck up
among them to act like lightning rods
in drawing off the electricity which
Mr.. Dimick believes to be attracted
by points and needful to plant life.
