Sofia. Bulgaria, a trlbu.
,ary principally under the suzerainty
of the sultan OF Turkey, on Monday

aovo by Prince Ferdinand, who was
elected prince OF Bulgaria in 1887.
rho Bulgarian cabinet was present
with the prince, having met him Sun
lay at the frontier and journeyed
with him TO Tirnovo. The party

Tlhovo is the ancient capital OF

there in the oden days that the
kings OF Bulgaria were crowned.
Turkey. caught in moment of

uation. and while some international
animositles have been stirred mp
probably no power is willing to mako

Reports indicate that the young
Turks will swallow this bitter pill as
lest they can, and II they do, natur

eager for war, will have no cause

olennInn un After sewInu.

For those who must sew but who
have no sewing room there Is a plan
by which the sewer can save the time
and labor that she formerly spent in
tldying up the room after she has
finished each night. Buy Ave yards OF
denim and cut II into two pieces Join
these together so as TO form square
and hem the raw edges. Lay thii
square on the floor and set the ma
chine on It. All threads. scraps and
rawlings can be dropped on this and
when the sewer has finished for the
day the machine can be covered and
rolled off the denim and the denim can
be gathered up and shaken.

HOW AND WHEN TO REST.
Something That Few Women Seen
Properly TO Understand.

Il is strange that a woman must
make a great effort 10 learn how and
when 10 rest Il comes naturally TO
most animals. but the human animal
dehes this law from the cradle to the
grave.
Sleep is better than medicine, all
agree; and yet a woman will take a
tonic or pills OF stlmulants instead
of deliberately going TO her room aft
err supper OF dinner and going to
sleep.
She will prop her eyes open until
ten o'clock and strain her aching
nerves and muscles rather than sacrl-
fee the evening hours. OF course
she is always tired She Is never equal
TO the vital occasions.
She always brings half her powers
to perfect any piece OF work. She is
the woman of hundred ventures and
one achievement
she needs sleep and she needs rest,
but she takes company, the theater,
supper party or trolley ride instead.
