london Dec. 6.-T'he much rumored
Russian diversion against the Bull
garians has not materializcd, but the
fact that no Russian Official statement
was issued last night gave rise to
hopes in London that it was being
phase of the Balkan campaign. At the
same time reports have reached here
from Bucharest that three Bulgarian
divisions crossed Hungary enroute to
the Italian or western front, which il
true. would seem to indicate that Bull
garia does not fear a Russian invasion.
Reports of such a shift Of forces on the
part of the Bulgarians are as vague.
however, as the report tina Austro-
German troops had been rushed from
other quarters eastward to face tho
new Russian menace
Dispatches from several sources as
sert that both the northern and south
ern armies are safely established in
Albania, while forces of the Serbs who
evidently formed part of the defenders
of Monastir, have reached the French
camp at Gievgeli in Serbian territory
near the Greek frontier not far from
Saloniki.
A feeling of optimism over the near
eastern situation seems to be growing
here, but outwardly there is little to
justify it except on the theory that
the Russian onslaught against Bull
garia will quickly crystalize, while en-
tente diplomatic negotiations in Greece
again seem to be progressing favor

DRAW MOISTURE FROM WATCH
Timeplece Is Not Necessarily Ruined
If Unfortunately It Has Been
Water-Soaked.

What to do with a water-soaked
watch is often a problem when one is
caught in the wilderness, or in COM
munity where no jeweler is to be
found. Lack Of knowing what steps
to take often results in much expense,
II not in the utter ruin of the watch
Watches made with both a screw
face and screw back may be dried
easily by removing the front and back,
emptying the watch of as much water
eaHs via run out. reversing the crystal,
screwing it on the back Of the watch,
and then laying it where the sun will
have a chance to reflect through the
crystal
The heat of the sun on the crystal
will draw the moisture from the works
in fifteen or twenty minutes, says the
Technical World. If water still re-
mains in the works, the crystal may
be unscrewed, wiped and replaced,
and the process repeated.
After the sun fails to draw any
more of the water out of the glass it
is safe to conclude that there is no
more in the works, and the oil origi-
nally on them, warmed by the sun,
lubricates the parts.
There should be no more trouble
with the watch, although it is advis-
able to have it examined by a jeweler
at the earliest opportunity.

NO SHELTER FOR MURDERERS
Protection Afforded by House Of
an Ambassador.

It was the grim old Oliver Crom.
we'll who first showed that the house
OF an ambassador was not an inviola-
Bile sanctuary for all classes of Of
tenders and that at least the line of
protection could not hold against q
murderer. In November, 1852, Don
Pantaleon Sa, brother of an ambassa-
dor from Portugal to England, walk
ing in the New Exchange, London, en-
gagged In quarrel with young Eng
fish gentleman named Gerard. They
were separated, leaving Gerard
slightly wounded in the shoulder The
next day Don Pantheon came to the
exchange with fifty well-armed fol-
lowers. for revenge. -Four English
men were slightly wounded and Mr..
Greenway, while walking with his, sis
ter and lady to whom he was en-
gagged, being mistaken for Gerard,
was killed by a pistol shot through
the head. A great and enraged crowd
collected. The Portuguese took ref
uge in their house of embassy. Crom-
well, the lord protector, sent q mes
senger to the embassy, stating that II
the criminals were not given up to the
civil authorities the soldiers guarding
the embassy would be withdrawn and
the mob left to do as 1t pleased. Don
Pantaleon, three Portuguese and IAN
English boy were given up and com.
mitted to Newgate. Their trial was
delayed A mixed fury of Englishmen
and foreigners brought in a verdict
of guilty and the five were sentenced
to be hanged. The three Portuguese
were pardoned, the English boy"
was hanged and Don Pantaleon, at the
request OF his brother, the ambassa.
dor. was spared from hanging and
was beheaded on July 10, 1858. This
case impressed foreign nations with
a sense Of Cromwell's power, and
has ever since been considered
as precedent In questions respecting
the privilege Of ambassadors and the
persons Of their household.

STOCK POOLS OF OTHER DAYS
Financial Giants involved In Question
able Transactions In 1882 Gave
Entertaining Testimony.

Stock pools Of the present day have
nothing on the pools and corners Of
generation ago in either magnifi-
cence or picturesqueness. Certainly
there has been in recent years no such
naive and entertaining testimony re-
garding such operations as that
brought out by state senate investi-
eating committee in 1882, with Jay
Gould, Rufus Hatch, big SPECTATOR,
and Henry Ward Beecher as the star
attractions. They asked Jay Gould II
he was familiar with corners and
he told how bis broken started bug
Ing Chicago & Northwestern at about
so and bought more than there was.
Il paid what l thought it was WORTH"
he said. 1T resulted in carrying the
price up very high. I did not pay
over so. The stock fell back after
the corner.to about 80. think it went
up to about 250. think was In
duced to part with some at about that
price," Mr.. Gould's matchless gener-
osity, however, was not shared by Ru-
fus Hatch, according to his testimony
when asked II he was opposed to
stock watering. Il am" he replied
promptly, unless 1 am in it." Henry
Ward Beecher added to the entertain
ment of the investigation-he did not
know why he had been called-by
supposing that in a general way he
understood the system of dealing in
futures. 1T is a part Of my profess
sion," he said, ito deal In futures"
His dealings in stocks, however, were
limited to two occasions On the first
occasion he bought at 400 and sold at
100. Il thought it a good stock to lay
up" he observed, "but found it good
to lay down."

Inventors Heart In His Work.

RamsGen, the father of the modern
screw, was an unusual inventive gent
us, and the demand from all parts
of Europe for his incompatible inven-
lions was greater than could be sup.
piled by the constant labor of go work
men. His life was one of extreme
frugality. He ate and slept little
and studied much.
Most Of Ramsden's evenings we're
spent drawing plans by the kitchen
fire, q cat on one side, mug of por-
ter and plate of bread and butter
on the other, while some apprentices
sat around and he whistled or sang.
After explaining design to work
man he would say: Nov, see, man.
let us try to find fault with it," and
intelligent suggestions generally led
to amendments. But if completed
instrument fell short Of his ideal it
was invariably rejected or destroyed,
with the exclamation: "Bobs, man,
this won't, do; we must have it again!'

CONTENT IN SIMPLE THINGS
Pity, Affection and Love, for Instance,
Lead to Rich contentment and
Serene Peace.

You may choose not to ignore the
evils Of life, but you may study them.
just as the physician and the surgeon
study all the morbid growths of men
tai and corporal life.
By close study of the dreadful
foe you may In the end master the
secret Of his destructive power, and,
perchance, you may come upon this
discovery, that the evils of life do not
flow from the nature Of things, but
from human blindness, from human
selishness, from precisely that lack
Of cohesion among the various mem
bers Of the human family which alone
can raise them to higher levels of Gull
ture and happiness.
II men were more sensitive to each
others feelings, II they could under
stand one another better, they would
cease to deplore their own sufferings
and find that life in the larger sense,
a corporate life of consenting human
Municipalities, contains within itself
potentialities Of real happiness.
Quite elementary and simple things,
like pity and affection and love, sup
ply US with materials, not for wailing
and misery, but for rich content
ment and serene peace.

Mourning for Pet Doaa

Dog funerals are no longer an I'M
common thing in New York. Every
day the local office of the dog GENE.
terry in Twenty;hfth street has q few
visitors who shed copious tears az
they make arrangements for their
dogs interment. And some Of the
numerous mourners are willing to pay
large sums to give their favorite pet
comfortable resting place, even to
the extent Of buying tombstones for
them. A ramble through this dog Gem.
etery, which is at Harsdale, will dis
close many remarkable instances OF
the devotion of owners to the memo
ries Of the animals they loved. Most
of the graves have monuments erected
over them with inscriptions telling Of
the good qualities Of the pets which
have gone to the happy hunting
grounds" Some Of these monuments
are very pretentious affairs and cost
as much as $1,000. The cemetery is
well kept and flowers bloom on prao
tically all of the plots.

A White House Fete.

I know nothing more impressive In
its dignity more complete in its way,
than the White House, en- fete. 1t en-
bodies all our best tradition of hospi-
tality and cordiality-of perfection
without ostentation. Then there is
something in the atmosphere which
hangs about it-especially during the
days Of closing administration, which
makes one think Of that serenity that
seems to cling around the woods Of
Mount Vernon, and which appears
there almost like a material reflex
from the calm and tempered ripeness
Of its owners soul. There is, imag.
inc, an affinity, certain likeness in
the magnanimity Of all generous, wise
and simple men whether of ancient
or modern times. Alas! too hard for
our generation of cyclists to follow or
even respect. The only ideal which is
preached nowadays is zones duty to
oneself" From pieces Of the Game"

Sanity and ln0anIxv,

DR.. Stephen Smith, now ninety-two
years old, has been one Of the fore
most public-spirited physicians OF
New York He has a theory Of tho
insane, set forth in an interview the
other day, which merits attention.
Cornell, when governor of New York,
made Doctor Smith commissioner IN
Iunacy, telling him that many people
believed persons were kept In asy-
lums by their enemies when they
we're not really insane, and charging
Doctor Smith to find out what there
was to It. The painstaking physician
accordingly talked privately with To-
900 lunatics, coming to the conclu-
sion then. and holding 1t ever since
that 80 per cent Of them might as
well be out Of asylums and sanatori.

and began 10 converse with people
outside they told him stories very
much akin to those that he had Jus'

and the girl was caught in a scurry
of young men finding their partners.
Left alone in the middle of the floor
and buffeted by the dancers, there
was nothing for her to do but seek
the wall again.
Her cheeks burned in confusion as
she found herself again surrounded by
vacant chairs She moved to the

conspicuous; but both girls were
claimed by their partners and she
was again left alone against the wall.
Pretty girls glanced at her with genu.

eyed her scornfully as they passed.
At last, blinded by a rush of hot
tears, she arose and went from the
music and merriment into the silence

MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR
Not Alone Must "Weed" Have Proper
Flavor, But Other Things Have to
Be Given Consideration.

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues. The first and most important
is good burn-that is, the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold its fire,
the ash should be coherent and not
f1aky, and there must be no charring
in advance of the burn.
The second point relates to the
favor. This is important to the smok.
er-the cigar must tickle his palate.
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma, which is the pleasure
giving quality of the smoke, not only
to the smoker, but to the bystander.
Even though cigar has a rich,
smooth, mellow flavor, it should be
classed as a poor one If 1t gives OF
a bouquet which Is offensive to all
within range Of its fumes.
Finally, cigar should have q good
appearance. Really, 1t is surprising
how important this is. No matter how
fine the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma. cigar must look the
part in order to be good. Given two
cigars OF equal quality, the one which
looks the best will actually taste the
best.-Cigarology OF Henry Reist
Kraybill Of the University of Chicago.

Beautiful FLAG Flower.

Among the stateliest and proudest
of the members of Americas flower
family none excels the larger blue
flag, which also wears the names Of
blue iris and fleur,de-lis. Ruskin calls
1t the Flower of Chivalry, which has
q sword for its leaf and a lily for its
heart. Longfellow pronounces 1t "a
flower born in the purple, to joy and
pleasance." It blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow, from May to
July, and finds its home from New
foundland and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
its propagation, particularly to the
bees as its pollen carriers. So 1t puts
forth flower that is blue tinted, for
its experience has taught it that q
bee can be wooed with blue better
than with anv other color.
