 Thereafter the ducks continued to enfnv their swims on the river. But this time the Austrians determined the number of birds that were to be given this privilege. It Is asserted here that the number of ducks on the water was woefuIly out of keeping with the number of Austro- Hungarian soldiers in Austrian M1trov1tz and that in this manner the Servian army was often deceived.
 But one day no ducks appeared on the Save. The Austro- Hungarian troops had evacuated Mitrovitz that night, some moving up and some down the river. It was for some such sig nal that the commander of the Tinok division had been waiting.
 That evening he took his force across the river. occupied some ter ritory five kiIometers west of Nitro vitz and was banqueted that night by the Austrian savants.
 Toward morning the still gray dawn when mans vitality is lowest as the savants assert, and when banqueters are not supposed to be in the best trim for fighting, the Austro -Hunga- rian troops descended upon the Timok division and finished the career of one of Servia's most famous military or nizations-killing many, leading away some 14,00O captives and taking much loot.
 Such is the history of the battle of Mftrovitz on September 4. Even the Serbs here smile when they think of it There is an order now that no ducks may be permitted to swim on the Save, but recently it has rained enough to discount this.

Mitruvttz. Croatia. Nov. 10 CCorre- spondence of the Associated Press)- Nitrovitz is a sort of frontier point the Romans and called Symrium for no good reason. It has a wide front on the Save river and many ducks. All this leads to g. strange chapter in the operations against the Servian army; and has to do with the end of the Serb Timok division Of l7,0o0 men. 7 Carrier pigeons have played prom inent part in many wars. Many a beleaguered city has asked for relief through them. But the duck cannot be said heretofore to have served other military purposes than to gladden. the the Balkans however, they have strange ideas, 1t is said. So when SerVian spies at Austrian Mitrovitz needed means that would convey certain military information of tm- portance to the troops in Servfan Nit deep river Save they decided to em- pIoy ducks.
 The ferry across the river had been destroyed. The banks of the river were carefully patrolled and watched by the Austro- -Hungarians and how to get information to the other side was problem over which spies at Austrian Mitrovitz pondered long. The only creature that could show itself on the river was a duck. But ducks have a habit of remaining near their habitat and for this reason were not suited to the carrying of messages.
 However, the Serbs of Servia need ed information on the strength of the Austro- Hungarian force in Austrian Mitrovitz and since this force kept moving up and down the riverT-in and out of the city-it was desirable to have this information every day. So the spies decided on an ingenious scheme. Each duck to be seen on the river represented company of Aus tro- Hungarian troops. When the ducks were east of the ferry it meant the decrease or increase in number of Austro- -Hungarians in Mitrovlt@ was due to the arrival of troops from. or departure to. the east. The same applied to ducks seen west of the ferry. Thus, ig on a certain day 9 ducks were seen west of the ferry by

Curious practices of the present. how often they become common practice of 8 future day; and to fu- ture generations not those practices, but the prevailing attitude of mind toward them in the time when they were new, become curiosities. To those living new, the prevailing atti- tude of mind in Connecticut in years previous tc the Revolution, for in- stance, is often amusing.

 Instead of multiplying arguments to recommend our practice for set. leave to mention our observations, the spring and autumn have been usually reckoned the most proper seasons for inoculation on account of the weather being then most tenn perate; but it ought to be considered that these are generally the most unhealthy seasons of the whole year. Undoubtedly the best preparation for the disease is a previous good state Fof health. We have observed. that children in particular are more sick ly towards the end of spring and be- ginning of summer, than at any other time of the year.

 Here is a quaint Thanksgiving warning; inserted by. a magistrate:
 Whereas, the pub1ik Thanksgiving happens to be on the first week of the country courts sitting. which will render it inconvienent and expensive to the Parties, and to the public for the court to attempt to sit and do business, the first week; it is there- fore thought advisable to acquaint the public, that the court propose only to meet and immediately to adjourn, to the Monday then next following, at 2 o'clock after noon.
