washington, Aug. 11.-Trouble u
brewing between Austria and Bulgaria
and between Germany and Bulgaria.
according to authentic information
which has been received in diplo-
matte quarter here.
Austria was said to be planning the
betrayal of Bulgaria in the peace nego-
tiations. Germany is irritated by the
persistent refusal Of Bulgaria to sever
relations with the United States, thus
completing the alignment Of the CEN
trail powers and their allies against
America.
Austria, foreseeing the necessity OF
restoring Serbia, and fearing to lose
Bosnia and Herzegovina also to Serbia,
is SO shaping her policies as to be in
q position to offer to Serbia, instead
Of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ample
compensation in Macedonia which. un-
der the understood terms Of the alliance
with Bulgaria, would. go to the latter
In the event Of Teutonic victory or
a draw.
Report comss From Berlin.
The information came in q circuitous
way from Berlin, and for that reason Z

ment is cognizant Of. II not a party to

with its conquests and -is lukewarm
towards any proposal that it enlarge

Austria" an entente diplomat said
today, is playing familiar card IN
seeking tn serve her own interests al
the expense OF an ally. Thruout Aus
trias history. the Hapsburgs have
sought to sacrifice others. friends as
readily as foes, IN the dynasty's In
terests. This practice has been con-
siStently followed by Austria In ro-
cent years.
Sacrifice o. Italy.
"Austria's occupation Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina in 1908. in violation Of
treaty obligations, was winked at by
Europe, which nevertheless was given
4 cause for war. Austria sacrificed
italy in every possible way during the
1talo Turkish war, and the fact thai
italy was Austria's ally did not deter
sthe latter from obstructing Italy all she
could.
"For the last twenty years Austria

Writinq Made Easy.

Steadily the roads that lead to sue
cess in literature are being made cas-
fer. A good many people who would
like to write fiction, but have shrunk
from the labor Of finding equivalents
for "said," will welcome list Of sub
stitutes for the necessary little word
published in the Boston Writer. There
are no less than 1856 fairly satisfactory
variations, from "acceded" to ''yowled."
The prisoner at the bar no longer
need say that he is innocent. He can
babble it or bawl it or blurt it or
breathe it, to use but one letter of the
alphabet. The yindictive district at
torney can bark his questions, the law
yer for the defense can boom his OBJ
jections, the spectators may either bris-
tie their indignant protest or blubber
their sympathy. But the merit Of such a
list Is not simply that it facilitates the
management of dialogue. A thorough
stu !, of the 1856 substitutes for "said'
will easily. suggest the plot and the
characterization that must precede dia-
logue. The letter G in itself is COM
pendulum of plot and gallery Of por-
traits. Given somebody who cachi-
mates, another who chuckles, another
who COOS, another who croons, an
other who challenges, another who con-
fesses and minor characters who cry,
croal, commune and cut in, and it Is
plain that we have a scenario almost
ready made.-New York Post.

the subject of strange legend. Rob-

mean passage between the castle Of
Hollywood and bold highland piper

Carpets Of the Ancients.

References to carpets arc found
among the earliest Egyptian and AS
syrian writer's. In Egypt, for exam
pie, floor and seat coverings were used
In temples for religious ceremonies,
while about 1900 r: G. they garnished
the interiors OF the royal palaces.
For 400 years following the dynasty
of the pharaohs carpet weaving was
apparently confined to the Egyptians
and Assyrians. an cxtant example of
q floor cover Of 705 B.. c., taken from
the palace at Nineyeh. bearing de-
sign Of WOODEN lotus flowers and buds.
Arrian tells us that the tomb Of
Cyrus the Persian was covered with a
pail of purple Rabylonian tapestry,
while Callixenus, the best reporter OF
his time, writing the story Of the ban
quet given by one of the Ptolemies,
pictures purple carpets OF finest wool
with the pattern on both sides and
handsomely embroidered rugs very
beautifully elaborated with figures" a
description Of which might well apply
to the floor or chair coverings in any
mansion Of today.-New York World.

Wonderful Carving.

DR.. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part Of the eight
eenth century, tells Of seeing a carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even In this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from common cherry, and upon it
were carved the heads of 124 popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been, it, is announced on the authority
Of Professor Oliver that with good
glass the heads Of the popes and kings
could readily be distinguished from
those Of the queens and saints by their
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased it in. Prussia, allowing
the original owner $4,000 for his treas
ure. Think of it-$25, 900 for a cherry
seed! f-

How to Cook q Turkey.

Stuff the turkey with your fayorite
dressing Fasten wings and legs by
running tile needle through them and
tying securely. Rub softened butter
all over the bird before you dredge 1t
with flour. This will keep the skin
from breaking. Wash the giblets and
place them under the rack of roasting
pan and add little water. Now place
the turkey on rack, breast down. AS
it cooks turn it slowly, so that the
breast will be the last place to brown.
Baste every fifteen minutes. Add salt
ana pepper to taste after it has cook
ed about forty-five minutes. When
you add water be sure it is hot. By
the time the turkey is cooked you will
find that the giDlets are both tender
and brown and ready to be chopped
up for the gravy.

The high cost of seed potatoes for
planting, is going TO be hne rof the
problems of the home gardener and
farmer this spring.1aa ratGiW aacaA 90
Under farm conditions there is'5no
doubt that reasonably good seed will
have to be used but there are many
cases in towns or in the home garden
on the farm where, if it is necessary.
the bill for seed potatoes can be elimi-
mated by using small potatoes or pota-
to Feelings, says the truck crops man
at Iowa State college in answer to
many inquiries along this line.
The smaller the seed piece the finer
must be the condition of the soil in
order that the little plant may estab.
lish itself at once. If peelings are
planted they should be fresh and the
eyes should be cut little deeper that
the rest of the peeling. Housewives
may cut out the eyes in conical
shape using spoon and then may
