The national dance of Montenegro is the kolo, somewhat similar to the horo of Bulgaria. Both sexes take part, crossing hands and forming an unjoined circle. The music they sup- ply themselves, each end of the horn alternately singing a verse in honor of the prince and his warlike deeds. The kolo is always danced at any great national festival, and the effect of the sonorous voices and swaying ring is very fine. Then there is an- other dance performed by four or five, usually youths, to the acompaniment of a fiddle, the leader setting a lot of intricate quick steps which the rest imitate at once. It is really a sort of jig and makes the spectator’s head swim if he watches it for long. “IT never saw any dances in north- ern Albania,” says a writer in The Wide World, “though certain Slav ar- tists love to depict wonderful sword dances, with beauteous maidens sway- ing gracefully after the style of nautch girls. A casual observer who has seen the Albanians come into Monten- egrin markets or to their great week- ly gathering in the bazar of Scutari could never picture these stern men dancing or at play. “They never smile and they look the life they they lead, each clan ever ready for war .with its neighbor and absolutely pitiless in the vendetta. When fighting the Turks the Monten- egrins evince a heroism and_ utter fearlessness that is remarkable. The strongest men carry bombs or rather hand grenades—things the Turkish soldier particularly abominates, “T was told once how a certain man whom I knew well saved his band | from destruction. They were fairly cornered, and the Turks closing in, when the bomb thrower stood up amid the bail of bullets, lit the fuse with his cigarette and rushed toward the soldiers, who seeing his intention, promptly made tracks, “It was of course lucky that the Mo- hammedar soldier, who does not much mind being sent to Paradise with a bullet, thinks his chance of eternal bliss very doubtful if he is blown up with dynamite, The nerve required to be a bomb thrower is worthy of a lit- tle reflection. He must absolytely ex- pose himself, and as the fuse is very short the ignition must be coolly con- sidered. “If premature it means the destruc- tion of himself and comrades, and when it {s fairly alight the bomb must be thrown with mathematical exact! tude, In other words, the man must leave his cover and charge an over- whelming force alone and not throw till he is close up to it.” Polishing a Diamond. The polishing of a diamond ts ® very slow process, because of the great hardness of the material; besides this, the work must be frequently inter- rupted to allow the disk -to cool out after it has become overheated by friction. Each time a new facet is to be cut the diamond must be removed from the dop and reset at another angle, and the diamond cutter trusts to his eye alone to guide him in this delicate adjustment, although in the case of very small diamonds a mag- nifying glass is necessary. The skill shown in placing the stone in the heated metal, sometimes with the bare hand, is sorprising. The regular bril- liant has 56 facets, besides the table and the collet; 32 above the girdle and 24 below; but as eight facets are first fermed,both_abeve—and below, cach of these being recut into three or four smaller ones, there are considerably more than 56 separate surfaces to be cut.—From Dr. George Frederick Kunz's “The Two Largest Diamonds,” in Century. An Unfounded Rumor. “Mrs. Muchmore told me,” said Mrs, Oldcastle, “that the new minister came in his vestments when he officiated at your daughter’s wedding.” “It ain’t true,” replied her hostess, as she flung one of her ropes of pcarig over the back of a $90 rocking chair, “We brought him over in our limous sine.” Pride and a Fall.
