Last week the
Kragbujevats and tl
villages joined the police in I
suit of a band of br
long infested the neighbor
tains. The fugitives led the
through a circle passing through the
narrowest defiles, and each time they
emerged into the open space one at
least was missing.
After three days there remained
only the leader, ignat Volkovitch.
He headed for a distant peak and
was skirting an enormous boulder
when a little girl three years old ran
into his arras. In his perplexity the
police came up and discovered that
this boulder blocked the mouth of a
cave. Here Volkovitph’s accom-
plices were found huddled together.
Those who attempted to escape
were shot, but Volkovitch, at once
impeded and safeguarded by hig lit-
tle daughter, waa persuaded by his
wife to surrender.—Belgrade corre-
spondence Pall Mall Gazette!
"when to cut flower*.
_____
The best time to cut flowera is
early in the morning while the dew
is upon them, or else during the
evening. As soon as cut the stems
should be placed in water, even if in
a temporary way, if not convenient
to arrange them at once in their
proper positions.
“When the flowers have to be
packed early in the morning to be
sent a long distance, they must be
cut extra early, or what is better,
cut the previous evening and placed
in water all night in a cool place
which can be kept close. In this
way they absorb all the water it ia
possible for them to do, being conse-
quently fresher when unpacked.—

“Mr. Garrison,” he said, “I have
come to you in the hope that you
may know something about a large
amount of money that waa lost, or
possibly stolen, yesterday, I think. A
slight clew led me to believe that tho
owner might be one of your clients.
If you do not know him, then 1
went your advice.” ;

Ezra’s face was impassive.
“What was the amount of money
in the bag?” he asked.
“Twenty-nine thousand dollars.”
Ezra arose and picked up the bag
and laid it on the lawyer’s table.
“Mr. Garrison,” he said, “may I
ask you to act as a witness while Mr.
Dcrmot examines his property ?”
The tall man-stared from Ezra to
the lawyer.
“Well, what do you think of
that ?” he muttered.
Ezra opened the bag.
The tall man made a little pile of
money packages on the table.

THE LOVELY HAT.
Perhaps the best compliment to
the new feminine hat, which is but
a revival of a pre-Victorian fashion,
was paid by a woman on Saturday
evening. We were dining at the
Rendezvous, with M. Gallina as the
proprietor, cook and adviser, and
suddenly the swing door opened and
the hat appeared vaguely. “Oh,
what a lovely hat!” sighed the
woman. We turned to watch and
criticize.
There was a fashionable hat walk-
ing through to the stairs; but irlien
we looked a second time it was a
man with a basket of potatoes on his
head.-London Chronicle.
