Rsl,s,op Of the Roumanlaua.

The religion of the Roumanians is .
mass of supcrstitions, which under the
name OF Christianity dominates their en-
tire existence. Indeed, one author has
said: THE whole life OF Wallach Is
taken up In deyising talismans against
the devil" A Roumanian uncovers his
head on passing wayside cross, but he
makes an equally deep salutation TO the
rising sun; he goes to church On Sunday,
but Ii lis doubtful whether he does not re-
gard Friday, which Is dedicated to Venus,
as the holier day Of the two. The ortho-
dox Roumanian regards any one who
buries corpse without placing coin In
the hand as pagan. The Roumanian
churches, In contrast, with the cold, bare
looking churches Of the Saxons, present q
most attractive APPEARANCE, for they are
covered with artistic decorations, and are
mass Of soft. warm coloring.
Not corner" says Mrs. Gerard, "but
from which starts up some grinning devil,
not nook but reveals some choleric
looking saint, till we feel ourselves to be
surrounded by whole pageant of celes-
tial and diabolical beings, only distin-
guishable from one another BY the re.
speetive fashions of their headgear, horns
or halo, as the case may be. These horned
devils play very important part In every
Roumanian church, where usually o large
portion Of the walls Is given up 70 repre-
sentations Of the place OF eternal punish
ment. The poor Roumaninn peasant,
whose life is often so wretched and
struggling as hardly to deserve that
name, seems TO derive considerable con-
ISOLATION from anticipation OF the day
when the tables are to be turned and the
hitherto despised poor shall receive an
eternal crown."-New York Sun Book

Use Of coneentrnsed reod..

Concentrated foods, which contain An
excess of starch with too little OF the
other ingredients found In wheat, lead to
tcrpor and atrophy Of the bowels, and
sooner or later there Is actual disease.
Constipation and rectal disorders are fast
becoming national infirmities; and wher-
ever these prevail Especially the first
named), you may look for what are called
nervous diseases and brain affections
these, later, ye9ging toward insanity; and
following this class of maladies, or In con.
nection with them, we shall find paralytic
diseases. Now there Is really no need OF
Gil this train Of physical ills; we bring
these troubles upon ourselves. Nature
las given us healthful food products, and
10 great abundance; but IL wo convert
these blessings into just the opposite, we
have only ourselves TO blame.
Another foolish idcn that many main.
tain is that there is more actual nutrition
In meat (the flesh Of anirnals) than there
Is In grains. Never was there greater
mistake. Turn TO any reliable table civ.
ing the analysis of foods and you will see
that the figures stand the other way;
there being three or four times the
amount Of nutritive substance In wheat,
rye, oats, corn and barley than there is
in the best beef or mutton. Dried beans
and peas are far more nutritious than any
Of the meats. (See Payen and other
standard authorities Were illustrations

Old World TO refer TO. Who does not
know that the hard workers the world

lar labor can be gotten out of piece of
oat cake, bit Of unlcavened wheat meal

Fortunes Made in Greek Railroads.

many adverse circumstances. this
little country is progressing won
derfully. under the leadership of MI.
Tricoupis, the present prime minister.
The building of railways of narrow
gauge is going on with feyerish activity,
the government giving its support to for.
eign capitalists by guaranteeing q mini
mum rate of interest on the investment.
This adds. of course, additional burdens
to the budget. but the country will be
benefited in the long run by the develop
ment of its resources. Greece is 80 yet
an uneSpiored country, ard many for
eign capitalists made large fortunes in the
last fifteen years by judicious invest
ments. The first railway in Greece, be-
tween Athens and Piraeus, six miles
long, was built by an English company.
They sold it eventually to u French com
pany with 100 per cent. profit, and the
latter, after working it for a few years.
sold it to great advantage to a Greek
company, which is the present owner.
Its stock has been watercd three time.
over its original value, and yet it pays
today at the rate of 10 per cent. pei

Miss Jane Golden, the first woman
elected a county councillor in England, is
barely IS years old, but her hair is

face is refined and gentle, and she wears
picturesque and becoming costumes,
which complete a very attractive person

To the queen of Italy belongs the
credit of establishing the manufacture
OF Burano lace. The industry had al
most wholly died out. The queen found
an old lady who knew the stitch, and
had her teach a number OF younger
women. The result is that Burano lace
has become a source of large revenue TO
the people Of Burano.
Mrs. Slocum who has just come up

built by her husband, says that while she

Near Forest ranch, in the mountains
above Chico resides a young lady who
for grit and pluck we'll take off our hat
to every time, remarks the Chico, CAL,
Enterprise. The lady in question, Miss
Kate Lucas, resides on a mountain ranch
with her mother and brothers, the latter
being engaged in furnishing the meat
used by the large lumber crews high up
in the Sierras. Miss Lucas IL Il tall, 1.-THE
and a well-built girl, with red, rosy
cheeks, jet black hair, bright, flashing
eyes, and is the acknowledged belle of
that vicinity.
She is an intrepid horsewoman and
rides fearless.y and alone over the msua-
tain slopes and through the ravines.
She scorns a saddle and at times rides a
fiery mustang without either a bride OF
blanket, simply using a lariat, the end
tied round her horses head and neck.
She is a capital shot with the rifle and
has worsted many of the crack shots
there by her unerring aim. She has been
out with her brothers hunting and very
rarely failed to plug a deer or other wild
animals which so abound in that section.
Sometimes the young miss assists in cap.
turing the wild cattle when they are re.
CURED for the market, and the lariat is
twirled with a precision that often puts
the vaqueros to shame.
A few weeks ago, after a daring ride
for a particularly wild and fleet. footed
steer, which showed fight from the start,
the young lady laughed at the vsquero,
who seemed afraid of the animal, ant
smilingly challenged him to throw 3
rope over the animal head and ride him
The vaqucro declined with thanks. Miss
Lucas then displayed a piece CT courage
and daring worthy of the ancient Roman
arena. %Sprihging from her horse. she

For half an hour the wild chase and ridt
were continued-ovcr hill and dale

umphant girl led her captive to tn,
