LOT OF THE SERBIAN WOMAN
To Her Falls the Hard Work Of the
Household While Her Husband
Guards Nations Freedom.

"A house is not based upon the
ground, but upon woman" is pop
ular proverb in Montenegro, echoed
heartily by others of the Serbian race.
Among the Serbs women are burdened
from their marriage day with harder
work than the men because they nave
to use the sickle as well as the spin
ming wheel. to tend the fiocks with
piece of knitting or embroidery in
their hands, and to build haystacks
that will do them as much credit as
the earthenware crockery which is
made in summer for the use OF the
whole household.
The Serbian cottage contains no pot
ter's wheel, and the rough clay has to
be pounded with an ak and worked In
to paste by mixing with hot water.
Dough is placed in these primitive
dishes, which are supplied with hooks
to draw them from the embers, where
the bread has been baked very slowly.
In Montenegro the curiously-shaped
shoes called opanke are always home
made, and, owing to the primitive ma
ture of the mountain roads, often have
to be renewed. It is considered de-
grading for a man to take up any
trade. The men lead a pastoral and
warlike existence, and disdain to carry
burdens on their backs, though they
treat the women of their household
with kindness and are never known to
use them cruelty. The defense of ma
tional freedom must be the main OBJ
ject of his hardy mountain race who
have come through hard struggle
against the Turks without losing their
independence.
The women of Serbia take second
airy part in all public rejoicing, such
as the Slava. The Slava is a social
gathering as well as a religious festi-
val, and guests are welcomed by the
women of the house rising to greet
them. A Serbian wife must always
jump to her feet to return a greeting,
even if she is seated at her spinning
wheel; she may never cross the road
when man is passing.
Serbian women have their own
merrymakings, known as Prela and
Sela, when they sit at work together
and while away the time by story tell
ing (Prela) and singing (Sela). They
are witty by nature and have real
gift for expressing their feelings in
song.
A collection of lyrics, composed by
Serbian peasant women, was published
not long ago, and astonished the crit
les Of the western world by the reve-
lation of new tone in national poetry.
Most of the songs are sad and slow,
but there are gay little tunes, i'm
provised when the Kolo is danced, men
and women joining hands and forming
big circle.

HPope,s slze.n

A curious item in the trade slang OF
hosiers is the term 'pope's size" APP
piled to vests. They classify the scale
OF chest measurements for these as:
Small mems. 80 inches; slender mems.
"a inches; mems. SO inches; pope's, 80
inches; out size, AZ inches.
The origin OF this term. which has
been current for nearly century. was
discussed some years ago In Notes
and Queries. when 1t was stated on
good authority that It had no conneo-
ton with the successors OF St. Peter.
1t appears that the head Of an old
firm OF West end hosiers, Messrs.
Pope & Plante. ordered this size to be
made specially for his own personal
use, and the manufacturer called II
after him for want Of q better name.-

1t was just about six o'clock when
the first bomb that we could really

rise, descend, explode. Then a lit
tie smoke would rise from one ham
let, then from another; then a tiny
fiame-hardly more than a spark
would be visible; and by dark the
whole plain was on fire, lighting up
Mareuil in the foreground, silent and
untouched. There were long lines Of
grain stacks and mills stretching along
the plain. One by one they took fire,
until by ten o'clock they stood like q
procession of huge torches across my
beloved panorama.
1t was midnight when / looked OF

City League Notes

McCunc. Of the Postoffice thereat-
ems to break into the game almost any
time now as his team is losing weight
each game and needs little of his
hoftincss to hold them down.
Some of the teams should display
a little more pep in going to and com
ing from their positions. Keep the
game fast and the spectators will be
with you.
Too many Of the boys are umpire
baitcrs. Take a whirl at the job your
self and see how pleasant il is to have
"a bunch jump at YOU.
Those that pay good money to get
into the game want good, clean base
ball Give them that and they viii
come again.
The Gulf team displays more pep
in the field than any other team. Get
busy. boys, and make a little noise II
won't cost a cent and helps things
materially.
Cutburth. of the Central is proving
to be a splendid pitcher and with a
little more seasoning should have
them all guessing
Davis, Of the Postoffice, in a re-
cent game struck out eight men in the
first two innings The catcher let the
last one on two batsmcn bet by him
and failed to connect at first.
Haven't seen much lately of 'Slim
Sallie" or Hammer of the Exchange
team. Hope that no-hit game he
/ pitched wasn't too much for him.
