In the Streets Of Philippopolis.

Besides the usual open-fronted
shops which are found in every Bull
garian town, and where at Philippop-
oils you may buy old arms land new
ones, for that matter), such as dam
ascened yataghans, knives, etc, at q
very reasonable price, peep into one
or two stores of a better description
gives one very fair idea nf the food
industries Of Bulgaria. There you
may see cheese Of native manufacture
packed in large sheepskins, salt from
Bourgas, very fair soap made in
Philippopolis, and all more or less
scented, for toilet or household use,
indigenous grains, paprika, etc. In
the streets you meet men called
"Bozadjl," who sell drink made from
millet. They carry tray at their
waists, on which stand mugs and tin
vessels containing the drink referred
to, Bouza. The streets, too, are in
terestlng on account Of the costumes
of the various nationalities one en-
counters. The Bulgarians dress rather
quietly, and their distinguishing
mark is the "kalpak," their head
dress, but the Turkish men are a
marvel Of bright colors. Here is one
of them; He wears red fez sur
rounded by small blush turban, a
print jacket without sleeves, colored
pale pink with Powered pattern Of
the same color but darker; through
the armholes his arms clothed in
white shirt-sleeves protrude; round
his waist is very broad scarlet
waistband or thin shawl, in which
his knife is half concealed; dark blue
trousers, white stockings, and san
dals. So far as the sexes are con-
cerned, the order Of nature Is re-
versed. Look at that Turkish woman
as she moves stealthily along, appar-
emily afraid Of being seen; from the
top Of the head to the shoulders, and
a little way down the bosom, she Is
wrapped in thick white muslin veil
or shawl, with only her eyes and nose
visible; the rest of her body is a black
sack, partaking of the character of
a barrister's gown. If you meet q
Turkish woman on the high road
coming from her field work, she
draws her shawl or anything else she
can lay hands On over her face until
you are past, and so deprives you Of
admiring a face, which, l am told
(for of course l have never been per-
mitted to see one), in nine cases out
of ten, is more attractive concealed
than exposed You see little Turk
ish boys, too, acting as bootblacks In
the streets Of Philippopolis, but no
beggars.

followed with horse jacketed with
the bullet-proof cloth, The animal,
a well-trained cavalry mount, gave
his attention to eating oats from a
box while the steel bullets were being
fired, With the exception Of being
startled slightly by the report from
the first shot, the horse continued
eating as if nothing out of the ordi-

The men and women Of the Cree
tribe Of Indians dress alike and can
be distinguished only by the orna-
mentation Of their leggins, that of
the men being vertical and that Of
women horizontal. The babies are
put into bags lined with moss, which
are ornamented with beads. The
bag closes at the neck, where there
is loop for singing the papoose.
The mother carries the child on her
back In this way, and, when she en-
tiers house or wlgwam, she hangs it
on nail. The women ride on sad
dies astride like men, and the saddle
has horn in front and behind. The
papoose is usually suspended from the
pommel, under the eye Of its mother.

Nearly million dollars is said to

however, these works have been con-

Want Good Roads.

During the agitation that has
been kept up in favor of good roads
for the year or two last past, a
good many people have been in
clined to attribute the most of the
talk on this subject to the makers
of bicycles, and many times it has
been intlmated that their efforts in
behalf of better roads were not alto
gether disinterested. Be this as it
may, new factor is rapidly coming
to the front, and the bicycle is that
factor, though instead of agitation
beginning with the maker of BIZ.
cycles and working toward the
people who are to make the roads
or pay for them, the process is re-
yersed and the good roads talk IS
coming from the users of bicycles
in the country. During the last
year thousands of bicycles have
been bought by the young people
who live on the farms of the coun-
try, and these are naturally anx-
ious for good roads that they may
ride their wheels as early and as
late in the season as possible. The
purchase of bicycles by residents of
country districts is increasing, and
it will not be long until every farm
er's boy and girl will feel as if they
were not up to the times unless
they can sport a wheel, and then
these same young people will bring
a pressure for good roads to bear
that will give those who believe in
them a majority and the problem
will be solved in the near future.
We know of one district in Ohio,
surrounding small town. where
the improvement is already possible.
The boys are anxious to work on
the roads and take great pains to
build them in such a manner that
they will make good bicycle paths,
and as q result the roads about that
town were never in so good a shape.
Good roads are infectious, as it
were, and the desire for them Will
spread. The bicycle is but the
forerunner Of good roads. 1t can
not come too soon. American

Accident.

ACClu0IlC'
The social event of the season
was the lawn fete given by the
Young Peoples Society of Chris
tan Endeayor on Hlnebaugh' s
lawn last Friday evening. The
tables were beautifully decorated
with flowers and eyergreens, and
laden with all the delcacies heart
could desire. The lawn was nicely
lighted with japanese lanterns of
various colors, which added greatly
to the beauty of the scene. The
first feature of the entertainment
was the cob-web party. Strings
had been wound around trees and
limbs, and each end numbered.
Then the boys would take one end
and the girls the other and follow
it until they would meet. This
would tell them who they were to
have for their partner at supper.
1t was quite amusing indeed, to see
them following their strings and to
hear their CALCULATIONS on meeting.
After this was all over they were at
once seated at the tables where they
Toasted themselves on the good
things that had been prepared.
Immediately after supper the COM
pany was entertained for short
time with toasts by the following
parties: d. d. Boyer, Stewart
Cramer, E. E. limbaugh and W.
L. Mcmillan. The toasts were
well done and hard to digest. A
peanut hunt was then called.
Peanuts had been hidden in every
conceivable place III two rooms and
the one who found the most was to
receive a prize and the one who
found the least the BOBBY prize.
There was quite stir during this
time all trying to find the most
peanuts. Emma Hinebaugh sue
ceeded in capturing first plize and
W. L. Mcmillan "booby." After
this the company was entertained
with music and various appropriate
games, until II o'clock, when they
dispersed, feeling that the occasion
was profitable and an enjoyable
one. May the society live long and
prosper. Those present were:
Tina and Dick Cornell, Of Hutton;
Stewart Cramer, of Baltimore; Ella
and VIII Glotfelty, of Bittinger;
Theo, Turney, of Addison, Pa;
