happy-go-lucky nature seemed to cast a
charm over them; they could follow SO

If her sins were open. so was her repent

round. this woman who, for the other fif-
ty-one weeks. had been outraging every
law, human and divine. kneeled in church
for the hour together. and, with loud sobs
and groans, proclaimed her sorrow for the
past, her resolution to make atonement for
the future. Her subjects, seeing her sor-
row, sOrrowed, too. and when Easter day
arrived were as convinced as she was that
new era of her life was at hand.
The Maundy Thursday ceremony never
failed to win for her Hearty adherents. She

It Is to arouse discomfort among the

They travel from farm to farm. Sometimes

Primitive Style of Living with Hardly Any
Of the Modern Comforts.

Of the Modern Comforts.
English Illustrated Magazine.
The dwelling g-houses of the better class
never rise beyond two stories: the greater
of basement story below. Almost all of them
are built on the same plan. The house
stands in small garden or courtyard In
the center of which is fountain. Here
the ablutions of the family are performed;
this. at least. is my conjecture. as the usual
utensils for washing are not generally to
be found in the house. In one
mansion there was n kind Of
trough provided with q piece of soap in
the entrance hall; the luxury of washing
in private is not attainable as q rule, and
the tab" or hip bath is absolutely nm
known. When the guest announces his
wish to wash his hands a female servant
approaches with q diminntiye jug and
basin, or rather bowl; he holds, out his
hands while she pours the water upon them
him with towel. and the function is at an
end. The Indifference of Eastern Chris
tians to the merits of water and soap seems
TO be kind of reaction against the pre-
faithful five washings a day; in this respect
our co-religionists appear to disregard the
distinct injunctions of ST. Paul.
From the garden or courtyard above
mentioned a flight of six or eight steps
leads up to the main floor of the house,
which sometimes has q balcony In front.
There is n large central corridor or hall,
with one side exposed to the air, into
which the doors of the other apartments
open. Sometimes there is house door.
bnt as a rule the only way of closing the
house is by locking the very unsubstantial
doors of the various rooms. The bars. bolts.
chains, massive locks and other apparatus
of obstruction which f0rtify the English
hall door would appear superhuous
to the simple-minded Bulgarian. The
principal sttihg-room, which. however.
appears to be seldom used by the family.
generally resembles the lantern of light
house, an omnibus, or railway signal box,
inasmuch as 1t is surrounded on two or
more sides by contiguous windows; in sum-
merit is unbearably hot, in winter un-
bearably cold. A diyan runs round the
wall, covered with Bulgarian rugs of
brilliant cOloring: sometimes there is a
handsome Pirot carpet on the floor, the bare
boards of which are always apparent.
In the bedrooms, which are unfurnished
with any species of crockery. there is usu-
ally piece of gorgeous tapestry hung on
the wall by the side of the bed one cOntem-
plates it with pleasure before rising in the
morning The bed itself, strewn with o
rich coverlet of quilted silk, offers pleas
ing prospect of rep0se. which, alas. is often
dissipated by the attentions of innumer-
able bed-fellows. How these houses with
their countless windows. thin walls,
draughty rooms and entrance halls open to
the weather, resist the fierce cold of Bull
garian winter is more than am able to ex-

The Roller-skating Craze Made Its Devotee
Graceful.

New York Mail and Express.
THE roller-skatiug rinks were condemned
on all sides" said a dealer in sporting goods
yesterday, but they were mighty useful in
the cultivation of graceful carriage. The
movement on ice-skating is entirely differ
ent from that of roller-skating. In the
former case the skater must adopt a side
movement or take a tumble. On rollers
there is a tumble when the movement is not
straight forward, as in walking. Go on
any of our crowded thoroughfares and
notice the peculiar motion OF the majority
of the pedestrians. You will see that there
is decided tendency toward a side motion.
Now, a person who practices on roller
skates is compelled to send his feet straight
forward and at the same time assume an
erect carriage. As natural result of this
practice, the skater carries this straight
forward movement to tho street or draw
ing-room when OFF the rollers This soldierly
acquirement Is desirable for every body
who cares to hold his own with the grace
full people of the sphere in which he moves.
For that reason alone claim the skating
rink was great institution. Those who
now wish to possess q graceful motion in
public have TO avail themselves of the re-
sources of u military school. or dancing
academy. in the absence of the skating
rink, which was both instructive and pleas
ing at the same time.r

Hungary has effected q reform in railroad
fares which is nothing short of revolution.
On the state lines distances are divided in
to fourteen zones, running from ten to one
hundred and forty miles. In the first zone
t-class fare is one and sixteenth cents per
mile. In the second and other zones the
rate gradually increases to two and one
half cents per mile. Over this distance
there is no increase in fare, either relative
or absolute. One may theSefore travel
which is charged for 14O miles. This is
reduction of over so per cent in rates. and
has been attended by an enormous increase
in travel, which more than offsets the re-
duction. There is food for thought in this
scheme, which American railroads might
do we'll to take up aud consider.
