London. Emperor William's visit to Vienna, whteh co-incided with the resignation of theeAustrian cabinet ministers, is the eause"of much spec ulation. The two events are variously assumed to be connected with the re peated effort of Germany to force Aus tria into a German zollverein, a desire of Emperor Francis Joseph to secure a separate peace through the interven tion of Pope Benedict and a rumored dispute between Austria and Bulgaria over the division of Serbian territory. There naturally is no authoritative basis for any of these reports beyond statements in the German newspapers that Emperor William's visit was one of the highest importance. . Meantime operations in the Balkans and the movements of the armies of the Central Powers continue with un abated energy. Like Germany Bul garia announces that with the capture , of Prisrend her campaign against Ser bia has come to an end, which seems to support the suggestion that to avoid a dispute with Greece, Ifing Ferdinand of Bulgaria has decided against the oc cupation of Monastir. Austria, with the assistance of some German troops, continues her operations against Montenegro, the frontier of which' has been crossed but not without considerable opposi tion from the Montenegrins, who are masters in mountain warfare and who Ijave been joined by some portions of the Serbian armies which succeeded in escaping from the invaders of their country. Battles are now being fought in that part of the Sanjok of Novipazar which was taken by Montenegro after the Balkan war. INQUIRE ABOUT VESSELS.

Reprinted by arrangement with the American Book Confpany, pub lishers.) A country maid was walking very deliberately with a pail of milk upon her head, when she fell into the fol lowing train of reflections: "The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred. These eggs, allowing for what may prove addle ' and wnat may be destroyed by rei min, will produce t least two hun dred and fifty chickens. . The chickens will be fit carry to market about Christmas, when poultry always bears a good price; so that by May Day I can not fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown. Green! let me consider yes green becomes my complexion best, and green Vt shall be. In this dress I will go to the fair, where all the young fellows will strive to have me for a partner; but I shall perhaps refuse every one of them, and, with an air of disdain, toss from them." Transported with this triumph ant thought, she could not forbear act ing with her head what thus passed in her imagination, when down cam the pail of milk, and with it all her imaginary happiness.
