contains but 2,100 square miles, and.
has but little more than 100000 in
habitants. The country is extreme
ly Mountainous, and has been de-
scribed by a traveller rs a succession
of mountain ranges, diversified here
and there by a lofty peak, and in
some parts looking like a sea Of i'm
mense waves turned to stone. OW-
ing to the conformation OF the conn.,
try and the natural bravery of the
Montenegrius, Turkey has never
been successful in fully subjugating
them. In 1906 10000 Turks were
hemmed in the Mountain Businesses
and slaughtered by the Montene-
grins, who make it a rule never to
ask or give quarter. If the Turks

Do not be too anxious to give
away yourself, to wear your heart
upon your sleeve. 1t is not only
unwise, it is wrong to make your
secret soul common property. For
you bring the delicate things OF
the heart into contempt by expos
ing them to those who cannot un
derstand them. If you throw
pearls before swine, they will turn
again and rend you. Nor, again,
should you claim too much open
ness las a duty due to you, from
your child, your friend, your wife
or your husband. Much of the
charm of life Is ruined by exact
ing demands of confidence. Res
pect the natural nnodesty of the
soul ; its more delicate flowers of
feeling close their petals when
they are touched too rudely.
Wait with curious love-with
eager interest-for the time !. hen,
all being harmonious, the revela-
ton will come to its own accord,
undenlanded. The expectation
has its charm, for as long as life
has something to learn, life Is in
~teresting !; as long as a friend has
something 10 give, friendship is
delightful. Those who wish to
destroy all mystery In those they
love,to have everything revealed,
are unconsciously killing their
happiness. 1t is much to be with
those who have many things to
say to us which we cannot bear
now. It Is much to live with
those who sometimes speak to us
in parables-if we love them.
Love needs some Indebtedness in
order to keeD its. charm Respect
which saves love from the famili-
arity which degrades it, is kept
vivid when we feel that there is a
mystery in those we love which
comes eff depth Of, character. Re-
member that in violating your
own reserve, or that of another,
you destroy that sensitiveness of
character and beauty of charac-
ter is not so common as not to
make it a cruel thing to spoil it,
