Would Like to Da A ProirresslTe Monarch Who Fondly Dreams , of sk Bceonstrootod Em plre Over Which lie Hay Reign. An American who recently visited Montenegro said to a New York Trib une reporter in speaking of the ruler of that country: "Probably no ruler in the world cherishes higher dreams of ambition than does Prince Nicholas, of Monte negro. Beyond the dark mountains of his small and impoverished principali ty his thoughts are forever reaching to kingdoms and principalities by the Danube, and in dreams of the restora tion of the ancient Servian empire, with himself on the throne. In the changes going on and constantly threatening in Servia, Bulgaria . and Rumania he believes in the possible uniting of these countries with Mon tenegro into one nation over which he may be called upon to reign. He thinks the powers of western Europe would look with favor upon the forma tion of such a nation, as it would be a barrier to the southward march of Russia towad the Bosphorns. lie has sedulously cultivated the friendship of Russia, and his ambition is not un known to the czar. ' But Jtussia, he thinks, would rather see a strong and independent nation between it and the Golden horn, than several, kingdoms and principalities dominated by.' the influence of Russia's hereditary foes, or ruled by princes sent from western Europe. There is little doubt but that he has been encouraged to believe this from St. Petersburg. Of such a nation as that of which Prince Nicholas dreams Bosnia and Dalmatia would naturally form ultimately a part, for in these provinces the Austrian ruler is detested, and Prince Nicholas is most popular. In Dalmatia Prince Nicholas is especially popular, and that province "would to-day, were it not held in check by the Austrian soldiery, join itself to Montenegro. The people are of the same race as the people of Montenegro, the Serps or Servians, and they look upon Nich olas as their natural ruler. All this is and has been for years a dream of Prince Nicholas, but suns have risen and set over the Black mountains, bringing the prince nearer to the grave, but apparently no nearer to the fruition of his hopes. The Serps still remain a disunited people, and pov erty has made the ambitious prince a pensioner of Russia. Prince Nicholas Is a man of force, learning and prog ress, and is well calculated to carry out such a scheme as that of which he dreams, were such a thing possible. When the congress of Berlin gave him a little strip of seacoast and the city of Cattaro on the Adriatic, the prince was ' delighted, and dreams of com merce and of a navy at once filled his mind. The emperor of Russia gave him a little steam yacht, and the prince takes the keenest delight in cruising in it up and down his Sea coast. -The prince keeps wells informed of all that is goiug on outside his do mains, and subscribes to the newspa pers of every nation, among them to two American dailies. The great western commonwealth and its mate' rial progress is a constant source of interest and wonderment to him. I had an audience with the prince and was catechised by him for an hour and a half, the prince pouring in a Bteady fire of questions, and display ing knowledge of American politics that was rather embarrassing to me, as I do not keep as well posted in pol itics as I should. The prince had es tablished a long-distance telephone line between Oetigne, the capitol, and Cattaro, and was as pleased with it as a boy with his first pair of boots. In the fascinating occupation of saying: 'Hello! Cattaro!' he had forgotten for awhile the pleasure of his yacht. ' He displayed the greatest interest in Mr. Edison, and asked me twenty questions about him. "Prince Nicholas is a poet of some ability, and has published two vol umes ' of hia works. , Many of his songs are about the ancient glory of the Serps, and call upon them to grasp a glorious future. The prince has tried to fill his son and heir, Alexan der, with his own ambitions and high ideas of the future, but Alexander is a fin de siecle young man, and would be happier in Paris than among the hardy mountaineers of his father's principality." THE SCHOOLMA'AM OF TO-DAY. Sir. Jasper Tell How She Differ from Her Predecessors. New York employs 4,651 schoolteach ers. In this grand army "of martyrs there are 3,053 women. Cf this number 190 fill principalships; each has a lieutenant; the rest of the 2,673 are assistants. Some of them teach school and some of them "fight" school, but they all earn the far from large salaries paid by the wealthiest city in the new world. " John Jasper, superintendent of pub lic instruction, who has every one of these "learned ladies" on his list of ac quaintances, was asked by a New York World reporter how the teachers of 1893 compared with their, sisters of 1883. "They are better," he replied; 'much etter." -"In what particular?" "In every particular." -"Are they better lookingr "They are better trained, better man nered, better dressed and better look in g than the teachers of a decade ago." Physically, Mr. Jasper thought that the young teacher was far superior to her senior associate; that she was abreast of the time; that physical cul ture had done as much for her as for any other class of progressive women; that she knows something besides book learning; that she U sympathetic, conscientious, tad, best o: all, worn anly. burned ur 3TH0mi Some of the ropuUr Airs Whkh llave Sane; ami Tired Or. A western paper has compiled a sort of history of the catchy popular airs which have been sung during our time or when our parents were younij. Tho list is interesting. A few weeks ago, says tho writer, the favorites in the way of songs were "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-A," "Comrades" and "The Bogey Man." It is a curious fact tn connection with "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-A" that some months ago the writer sailed away from Liver pool, England, and the last thing he heard was that song, and on reaching New York harbor the first thing to greet him as a welcome to his own country was the same song, sung by a coal heaver on the dock. He might have alluded here to the run of "My Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon" and "After the Ball." Prior to the advent of the before mentioned songs, he continues, we had a long siege of "Little Annie Rooney" and "Maggie Murphy's Home." Then we had before these a lengthy attack of "Down Went McGinty," and before this a number of narrigan & Hart's theater comique songs, such as "Mulli gan Guards," "ilaj. Gilfeather" and others similar in style. Then preced ing this era we had "Peek-a-Boo" and "La-di-Dah." Before this "Whoa, Em ma!" "Champagne Charlie," "Capt. Jinks," "Shoo Fly" and "Not for Joe," pretty well mixed up with sentimental songs of . the "Put Me in My Little Bed" and "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "Norah O'Neil," "Lillie Dale" and "Come Where My Love Lies Dream ing" type. , During the war of the rebellion how well the writer remembers the songs he heard, being then a boy. He saw the soldiers marching by tho house where he lived, and listened with bated breath to the songs they sung, of "Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are March ing," "Rally Round the Flag," "John Brown's Body" and . "Marching Thro' Georgia," and then the different style of songs sung by the women folic at home, such as "Brave Boys Are They," "The Vacant Chair," "Mother, Dear, Your Boy Is Wounded," or "Tenting To-night," or "When This Cruel War Is Over," or the more humorous ones of "The Captain With His Whiskers Took a Sly Glance at Me" or "The Bold Sol dier Boy." ' The songs before that period were different from any since. The names of some of these were, "Roll on Silver Moon," "Ben Bolt," "The Old Oaken Bucket," "The Indian Boy's Lament," "The Irish Emigrant's Lament'' and "Hard Times Come Again No More." These must have been rather doleful times. There was another song quite popular at that time, called "Cruel Barbara Allen," so the writer has been told. But this is about the extent of his knowledge on the song question. ALEXANDER AND CLEOPAT RA. Dlsoovery of the Tombs of Those Great . Celebrities of Antiquity. I wrotcyou from London, says a cor respondent of the Boston Advertiser, of the discovery in Alexandria six weeks ago of the tombs of Alexander and Cleopatra. Here is the letter sent to Aberdeen which describes the remark able find: "The tombs are intact and no doubt as the excavations proceed the tombs of all the Ptolemies will be brought to light. There is no doubt about the matter, as the names of the occupants are over the doors. The doors are of bronze and covered with Greek in scriptions. Here and there the bronze has corroded, so that with the aid of a magnesium light they could see the marble sarcophagi and lots of other things in the rooms. Some of the vaults seem to be full of rolls and parchments, but this Is mere guess work on the part of the observers. All will be cleared up when the khedive returns from Constantinople, as he is to superintend the opening of Alexan der's and Cleopatra's tombs." Dr. Grant Bey, the writer of the let ter dated June 17, goes on to say: "Lots of beautiful vases and gold things have been found, and a most beautifully executed stela, in whose tomb they found a crown of gold. My information is at first hand, because I had a long conversation with the pro prietor of the land and the manager of the digging this afternoon. In the course of digging the Greek gentle man came upon a pit that led down to a series of vaults thirty feet below tho surface. These are the tombs of the Ptolemies and the one exposed to view is that of Cleopatra. The others have still to be excavated, but they arc there only all the passages are filled with earth. Twenty feet deeper, and only six feet above sea level, is Alex ander's tomb, all by itself, only there are some chambers near it filled with rolls and parchments in other words, a library of ancient books." A Dog Story from Japan. An English sportsman, out for a few days' shooting in the interior of Japan, amused the natives upon the evening of bis arrival at the house where he was to put up by putting his well-trained cocker spaniel through a series of clev er tricks. The Jap name for dog is "Come here," probably because that is just what the native curs won't do when so bidden. Japanese dogs are a degenerate race, unfit for the purposes for which other dogs are used, and uncontrolled by their masters. Their home is in the streets and fields. The Japanese, therefore, look with wonder upon the docile canine companions foreigners bring to their country. The perform ance of the Englishman's dog amazed the unsophisticated Japs, This was shown when the guest went to his room to retire for the night. There was his bed duly made on the floor the Japanese fashion, with the wooden-box pillow at the head. But beside it was another, though very diminutive, couch. Tho Englishman couldn't make out what the second little bed meant. He called the host. The latter ex plained matters at once. The second bed was for the " "come here." little foreign TKALNLNU hVR WAE.. Naval pnd Military Preparations in the Celestial Empire. The Sleepy Chinese Becoming Aroused to Their Defenseless Condition Are Pro viding Themselves with Improved Implements of War. M. Henri Bryos, the correspondent of the Figaro of Paris, at present trav eling in China, gives the following ac count of the naval and military prep arations which are going on in the Celestial empire: A fact of the highest importance, which for all that has escaped the no tice of diplomatists, consuls, and my English confreres of the east, has just come to light in China. I mean tho sudden transformation of the old and childish method of warfare so long in use in that country. The Chinese art of war has become thoroughly modern ized, and tends to rival that of the western nations. The illustrious man who has brought about this radical transformation is Viceroy Li Hong Tchang. It is at Tientsin that he is operating. Tientsin is the industrial center of war material, where the agents of Canet, Krupp and the Arm strongs enter into competition for the acceptance of their deadly wares. In tho tournament of the rivals the Ger mans have almost always carried off the prizes. At Port Arthur, in the province of Petchili, there are splendid cruisers, battleships and gunboats, built with all the recent improvements of naval science It is noteworthy that a regular fleet has been created here in lees than six years. Since tho last Franco-Chinese war the Celestials have opened their eyes. That great, sleepy people has becomo aroused. . Li Hong-Tchang has rudely shaken off their night covering. He has undertaken tho task of waking thein up thoroughly, ne can claim tho honor of having created genuine sol diers, organized in European style, and armed with the improved modern rifles. On visiting the Imperial military sciiool at Tientsin I had a chance to seo the soldiers maneuvering. Their exer cises had the trade mark of their training. Their movements, regular, stiff and sturdy, and their heavy and noisy march, with automatic precision, clearly indicated that German instruc tors had been there. Li Hong-Tchang has reformed the army of China. A German artillery officer, Maj. von Richter, has been commissioned by the viceroy to organize the new army of the north, that is to say, in the prov ince of Petchili. Another officer from Berlin is' installed at the arsenal at Tikou, not far from the forts that com mand the entrance of tho Pei Ho, Under his direction Chinese workmen turn out enormous quantities of shot, shell and schrapnel. The Krupp estab lishment supplies the forts and ram parts with guns of the latest pat tern. Such is the progress in China. The destructive industry is booming in that country. China is arming, and arming formidably, and her present aim is to find within herself tho military re sources and the war material that she was formerly obliged to procure else where. She is erecting upon different points of her immense territory nu merous'and important arsenals, work shops and foundries, which change completely the national character of tho country by modifying it in the Eu ropean sense The city of Han-Yang, an insignificant little placo a short time ago, has now become, in less than a year, a military post of the first or der, which is destined in the future to outstrip all the others. It is the cen ter of great vorks and gigantic foun dries, workshops, brickyards and rifle factories. ' From Han-Yang, which is the cen tral and strategic point of the empire, a railway is about to be built which will Join Pekin to the north and Can ton. The arsenal of Nankin, which I was permitted to inspect, is a vast con struction, entirely modern. It is sup plied with all the modern material for the manufacture of engines of war; and from this place guns and rifles are abundantly supplied to the army. The rifles that are made at Nankin are something new. They are like our duck-guns, very heavy, and are han dled by two men. But their range is extremely long. I have procured some of, the cartridges of these guns. They are furnished with metallic cases. This Nankin arsenal provides for everything. There are molds for shells of different sizes and forms, and one large section of the building is devoted entirely to the construction of the ar tillery of the fleet. I found there guns of the Hotchkiss, Maxim and Norden f eld patterns. But it is not necessary to enter into further details and to multiply exam ples. What I have seen in tho center of China exists also In the north and in the south. Throughout tho empire the manufacture of arms goes on with a feverish activity. China is. working' for war, and the time will soon come when she will be hupplied with arma ments equal in quantity and in number to those of the greatest Europea,n na tions. A Girl's Ideal. A girl never marries her ideal. One reason is that she seldom finds him, ani. when she does she doesn't like him. Another reason is, the material man is so dread fully unlike the one of her imagination. A girl is an incon sistent creature, anyway. As sure aa tilvs fashions the idol of her mind's ye as a great, tierce, black-miistached, brigand ish-looking individual, the end will be a promise to love and obey some meek, freckled, red-haired per son who cannot forget bis affection for chocol;.; caramels and football scrim ma;fe. Most dreadful is the fate of the little woman who admires the jolly man who can laugh at paperweight biscuit: and lxnled beefsteak, for tsho invariably falls head over heels in love with borne solemn, stately man whoso very photograph makes her dumb with Bilent awe. r f SHE HAD PLENTY Of TIME. Tho Uood-ny Intitructloa Were Strong -Oat Little Too l.onsr. He was the proud and haughty guard at that railway gate and they wcro Javo ladies who disliked to be separated vory much. "Good-by," said the one with the valise and the red pasteboard box tied with white string. "Good-by," replied the one who had no luggage. "Bo sure and tell mother good-by for me. won't you?" "Yes, and you must be sure to give my love to all the folks." "I will. They will be sorry that you couldn't come with me." "I know it; but you will explain just how it was. I certainly wanted to -come." "You won't forget to lock the piano so that baby won't put buttons and scraps into the 6trings?" "Yes." "And shut the windows when it . rains." . " . "Of course." "Well, I must hurry. Good-by." "Good-by." Then they kissed and parted arid the traveler with some difficulty extricat ed her ticket from the valise. . Just as she got to the guard she gave a little ' scream. "Oh!" she said, "there is something I wish to say to her; will I have time?". "How long will you need?" he asked, as he looked at her ticket "Just half a minute." "Oh, then you have plenty of time. It'll be ten hours before your train starts." "But the time table says it goes at nine o'clock." "Yes'm, and it is now just one minute past nine." Waverley Magazine. A DELIGHTFUL MEETING. Tho Lovlnp: Klndneas Often Noticeable Between Women. They met in the calm of a lovely day. Soft breezes whispered sweet messages to the budding trees and even the sales man at the bargain counter wore a more charitable look. They met and greeted. "Oh, dear," exclaimed , the lady in grenadine with gilt trimmings, ''it's Un age since I saw you." "Yes, indeed," ecstatically rejoined the lady in white organdie with pale blue flowers wrought in the fabric. "It was getting almost insupportable." A pause of one-sixteenth of a second ensued. "Well, I declare, if" , Tho lady in grenadine was gazing fix edly at the lady in organdie. " Gray hair is positively -becoming to you. Isn't it perfectly delightful? I am so glad; gray hair is such a trial to many." "Yes, to be sure," , - There was another pause. "I'm so glad " . ' i , The lady in organdie was earnestly contemplating the lady in grenadine. "You are still able to make your dresses fit in spite of your getting so fleshy. Isn't it fortunate? Fat is such a thorn to most people." "Yes." . There was a little more silence. "Well, good-by," chirped the lady in grenadine. "By," cooed the lady in organdie. "I hope It won't be so long till we meet again." , "Oh, my, yes. I couldn't endure it Really." , . That was all. Detroit Tribune. ... She Likes to (let Even. "If there is one thing more than an other that pleases me, it is to get even with a grumpy man," said a bright girl in our hearing the other day. "The other night a man and I were out walk ing and he asked me into a drug store to have some soda. Before we ordered he asked the proprietor if he could change a ten dollar bill and that Indi vidual snapped out 'No' as though my escort had insulted him, : Leaving me seated there, my man friend went across the way, where he secured the change right readily, and when he came back we sat down to vanilla soda and lemon phosphate. When every drop was gone fifty cents was offered in payment, and I , was just tickled to death when the cross old thing couldn't change that either. There wo wero in two drinks and the crabbed druggist had to see us depart without his pay. My friend wanted to go back and pay him later, but I told him if he did I would never speak to him again. Oh, it was just lovely," said the little vixen, as she showed her white teeth as they snapped together on a choc olate caramel- and beamed in vicious glee over the memory of one poor man's discomfiture. Philadelphia Times. " Close Dealing In Maine. A woman sold a pig to a butcher the other day and he killed it on the prem ises. Now it is a superstition with some butchers that to cut off a pig's tail insures tho .preservation of the meat The pig's little tail was cut off. But the woman was on the watch She picked up tho tail and gave it to the butcher to be weighed, saying: "I want pay for the whole of him." But the butcher got even with her. The reck oning came to a half cent, probably because of the addition of the tail. She wanted tho half cent of course; she ;vl ways does.
