BULGARIAN PEOPLE.
The Men Are Peasants or Soldiers
and Make Tkeir Women Slave
In the Fields.

1t is strange country of contrasts,
this Bulgaria that people have so
long watched as danger spot. The
peasant is a heavily built fellow, with
a Kalmuk nose, if he happens to be
pure bred from the original Samoy-
EIDE stock, which IS not likely. His
language has become Slavic, which
means a language in which beef
steak" is 'mpiphteki" and "omelet
souffle" is ''omelet cuphle" The Bull
gariap is a peasant or a soldier; he
knows no other trade. As farmer
the sheep is all in all to him, food and
clothing and companionship, says the
Era. He lives in a hovel, does not
understand why he should be taxed
and makes his women slave in the
fields. He is called close-fsted, churl-
ish and suspicious, and has some of
the virtues that often go with those
qualities. When Bulgaria became
practically free from the sultan there
were many Turks left in the country.
These are gradually being crowded
out, but there is still mosque in
Christian Sofia, and in the palace of
the sobranja or parliament, where the
members have better accommodations
than the lords of Britain on the Thames
embankment, some 90 Turkish depu-
ties always sit together and exert an
influence that they never could do in
their own land by voting always with
the party in power. Every Saturday
the members of the sobranje are paid
at the rate of Is francs day, all in
silver fve-franc pieces. These peasant
lawmakers knot it up in handkerchiefs,
grin slowly and shake the iingling
pieces playfully in one another's
faces. They are playing at states
manship yet but fairly well on the
whole.

Big Price for Old stumps

Old walnut stumps are on boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that
have remained unnoticed for years
and were regarded as worthless are
now eagerly sought after at prices that
seem almost fabulous. An Indiana
concern has had men travelling over
the country buying every old walnut
stump that could be found. At first
the prices paid were small, but as the
eyes of the stick timber folks began
to open the prices went higher and
higher until now they are out of sight
and the funny part of it is that the ug-
lier, knottier and more unsightly the
stump the more money it will bring.
The stump of a walnut tree that was
cut down several years ago brought
more than the whole of the tree. 1t is
stated that the stumps are made into
veneering material and used in the
manufacture of high-grade furniture.

KING PARDONS OFFENDERS.
England's Ruler Did Not Allow His
Illness to Delay This Part of
Coronation Plan

Throughout his grave illness. ex-
cept, of course, when he was at his
very worst, King Edward never lost
his interest in any of the schemes as
sociated with his coronation. One
of these concerned the pardon of a
certain section of military offenders,
whose sentences had nearly expired
when the postponement of the great
ceremonial was announced. The war
office officials seemed to have been
assailed by doubt and suggested to
the kings advisers the desirability
of taking no action until the issue
of his majesty's illness was known.
At the very first opportunity this
was made known to the king. but
his majesty Immediately commanded,
as he did in the case of the dinners,
that there should be no delay and
no postponement.
An appeal, l learn, says the Lon
don correspondent of the Washing
ton Star, is to be issued by the war
office to the large employers of la
Dor in behalf of the men who are
returning from South Africa. The
appeal has been inspired by the
board of trade, which is seriously
concerned regarding the effect upon
the labor market of the arrival in
this country of $4,000 men from the
front. That in round figures is the
number of reservists, militia, yeo-
many and volunteers who were on
active service when peace was de-
clared. They are not all returning
at the same time, of course, and
many of them indeed elect to take
their chances in Africa, while a small
proportion may have their civil posi-
lions in this country kept open for
them. Making all allowances, how
ever, there will still be very large
number of men thrown upon the la
Dor market possibly with disastrous
results. The great majority of these
men must certainly join the ranks
of the employed, and the military
authorities scarcely hope to be able
to secure situations for them all. 1t
is hoped, however, that the appeal
to employers may have some effect
in preventing a serious displacement
in the labor market.

Intended for a Commitment.

There was a family reunion at the
home of little Alice's mother. Grand
father, grandmother, uncles, aunts,
and cousins had gathered from far
and near. The child was much be-
wildered, says Harper's Magazine. and
had great difficulty in remembering
the new names and distinguishing
the strange faces.
They were all anxious to be recog-
nized by the little one, the only child
present, and her mother was proud
ly eager to impress all their names
on her mind. SO the poor little girl
was subjected to the tiresome ques-
tions: "Who is this, Alice?" What
is my name?'
At first she gave very vague re-
plies, but soon fell into fearful ST.
lence.
In a little while Mary, her pref
ty neXt-door neighbor, came in.
Alice loved Mary, and her face
frightened when she saw the dear
familiar face among so many strange
ones. Mamma told Mary of Alice's
trouble in remembering her rela-
tives' names.
But Alice knows who I am said
Mary, confidently. Tell me, dear,
who am -"
"You amt nobody" said the child,
fondly, with sigh of relief.
Mary was somewhat confused, but
under the circumstances it was the
highest compliment she could have
received

I'M STORY !,
HIS STEPMA.

Z knowed a little codger once,
As onery as could be;
He'd chaw and swear, run off from
school,
And poster beast and tree;
Kept all the neighbours dogs afeared
And half their winders broke;
Nhere couldn't for that Tommy Turf
One praisin' word be spoke.
But by and by-his ma was dead
His pa met Wilder Green
And courted her; she parleyed some,
Cause Tommy was so mean.
Srt last she said shed give consent
If neighbors, friends, and kin
Would promise to let meddlin' out
While she broke Tommy in.
These mentioned, KNOWN things was
bad
Saw something must be done.
So all agreed to keep hands off
And let his stepma run
The yOungster; well, she used the twig
little, but not much;
But gracious! How she used the ak
And later hoe and such!
She kept that boy a chopin wood
And dom turns and chores,
And hOein' corn and garden sass
And scrubbin' steps an floors
TN he was glad to go to school
To get a little rest:
Yet she was monstrous kind and good
Soon as he'd done his best.
His busy hands stirred up his wits,
And soon that boy at school
Was leadin' all his classes him
They used to call fool!
SIe studied doctorin'. got to be
most uncommon man,
All cause his stepma worked the vim
That once to meanness ran.
The nerve that playin' hockey takes
Might turn a whole school down,
And that which breaks a wnder light
Might sometimes build a town
There's lots of onery little tykes
loafin' round the streets
Need only work to make EN- men
Instead of trifiin' beats.

Dewet is possessed of humor, says
South African correspondent, writ
ing to contemporary. One of the
leading camp officials lin certain
refugee camp is a Scotsman, who,
during the dinner, took occasion in
offering the general a drink to say he
must have got a fair amount of whis-
ky among the captured conveys. De-
wet was very much amused at this,
and on referring to it subsequently
said that before attacking a convoy
he made inquiries if they were
guarded by Scotsmen. If this were
so, he further inquired if it contained
any whisky. If the second condition
accompanied the first he always gave
the convoy a wide berth, because he
knew the beggars would fight to the
last mani The Scotsman replied that
he would write home and inform his
countrymen of this important ele-
ment in scouting and in defensive
warfare remark which set him in
to roars of laughter.-St. James Ga
zette.

that COMPOUNDED dog Royal. Why
can't he keep away?
'Why should you and I, Maude, mis-
understand each other?" Dick said,
slowly. "You know, sweetheart, the
whole world is as nothing"
There was a scramble on the beach,
and Royal dashed by in pursuit of a
sand crab.
