Among the Inhabitants of ARanm tlicro nro ctirlutiH custoniR deHcrllicd liy a recent traveler: "The local no Neman who had consented to help tho ok In return for IiIh food plus pay had cnmplnlned In the morning of n Htonmch uche, the result, probably, of ii too liberal diet at my oxpeiiRe I had flowed him with KtroiiR Ringer, but ovenlm; found him Htlll In pain, and he refused to take more He expected one doKo to effect a magic cure, and 1f It did not lie considered the tnedl cine was not worth taklnR a hcfoikI time. An evil Hplrlt had Rot hold of him, ho confided to me. and th" only sure remedy win to proplil It by Miicriflclng a white tow I To il- r with full ceremonial three win.' dav apart from the world were iiei cHrury, and therefore he had to tender his resignation. "lie came to uec mo a few weeks ago In Sadlya, and wan much hurt at my mildly miggoMlng that 'the evil one' had been a Hiirfelt of pork Thn I'UHtom of RhuttltiR ono'a Relf off from contnet with one'M follows Ih com mon all nlonR UiIk frontier, on such occasions as a birth, a death, alckneHs or' some other unusual occurrence It la called doing 'Ronna, and takCB placa whenever the HllghteHt ground can be found for It. "There la n atory of a certain well known frontier officer being refused admittance to a house where usually ho was an honored Ruest. On asking the reason, he was told that the Iioiiko hold wns doing 'genna,' as the fam ily's female dog had JiiRt produced pups " HAD CHOICE BETWEEN EVILS Bachelor Could Not Save Rug Be In Time for the Theater Still Has the Rug. and A theater party waited half an hour tho other ovenlnR for one belated In dividual, who arrived breathless and profusely npoloRetlc. Apologlos en lulled explanations, and explanations revealed some of the exigencies, aa well the humor, of bachelor make shifts. In this case the gentleman who was tardy found It imperative to econo mize space Neeesfllty made hlu opera hat share a closet shelf with 'he Tarragon vinegar and the olive oil used at occasional evening spreads. One could multiply proveibs In tell ing the tale, for in his haste to be on time tho vinegar and the oil ciutip dowu unexpectedly with the opera hat, and deposited their contents upon his latest acquisition, the Shervan niR ho had Just treated himself to. It was ruin the rug or be late to the party, so, up came tho rug, on went the water in the bathtub, and to scrub bing fell he The rug was saved, and tho theater paity enjoyed the laugh they had over the tale. Good Letter Writing. "Authors, my altoRether dear worn- nn, can't write letters. At best they xiueeze out an essay now and then." James Russell wrote to this effect pre cisely 40 years iiro In addresalng Miss Norton, and he added: "They aro thinking of their punctuation, of cross Iur their t'c and dottliiR their I's, and cannot altoRether forget themselves in their correspondent, which 1 tako to be the truo recipe." Tho assertion of fact is true cnniiRh; tho author In seldom a Rood letter writer. He Is apt to ho like Or. Holmes, only "a very Rood correspondent as a reader of let ters." Hut with Low oil's explanatory principle one Is tempted to quarrel. The bent lettt r w liter does not for et himself In bin correspondent; ho leaves It to his correspondent to do the forgetting We Make Ourselves. In the east, writes Frances Camp bell. 1 have heaid a woman hay: "Oh, I unnnot do tint ; 1 would be bom" next time a hunchback!" That may not be true On the other hnnd, ho would be bold who would say It could not be so for even in this life wo make ourselves. The miser, the evil speaker, the drunkard and Rlutton, and those who deny the claims of humanity, those who Ignore the poor, the suffering, tho outcast see how they have made themsolvos! Furtlvo eyes, hard mouths, unlovely Jnws, forbidding countenances Theyi have no lovo, so no love Is theirs. The false, tho wholly mean, the unreal' have no beauty; theirs Ih the hard and stony afterward, for evon here wo havo a choice of ways We can mnko ourselves us we will, beautiful or oth erwise Homo Chat. A Musical Burglar. An ingenious burglary was recently committed In u fushloitable Jeweler's shop in Vienna, the thief having en tered by a hole he had made In tho celling while playing the flute. Tho tint above was let in lodgings, and tho landlady Informed the police, when tho burglary was discovered, that 3he had let a small loom to a well-dressed young man, wl.o played the llute all riunday morning and afternoon In the evening ho went out anil did not return. A Jemmy and other burglar's implements were found In his lug gage, and tho man must havo made, the holo In the floor with ono hand, while he played the llute, in order to drown tho nolae, with the other.
