''in general it may be said that the
Bulgars were always Slavs."
Both the Bulgars and the Serbs
are predominantly a dark-hued
people, although there are few
blond compilations among them.
They are medium stature, and gen.
orally vigorous constitution They
are by choice herdsmen, farmers
and gardeners. All the world has
heard of the rose plantations Of
Bulgaria. where the precious altar
Of roses is distilled, and the plains
Of Servia are rich with grass and
grain. From 80 to 80 per cent Of
the Servians are farmers. The
Bulgarians have developed silk Gull
ture on a considerable scale.
The Montenegrins are also Slavs,
closely allied to the Serbs. Inhabi-

The New Nation of Europe

n NEW nation mas had it's birth,
~ and il is is not stitied in it's
cradle by the crowd of its
would-be nurses, not one of whom
has any very friendly feeling to-
ward the infant prodigy. ii will
grow up to take an important place
in the concert of European pow
ers." There are several of those
nurses who could not be trusted
alone with this vigorous Bulgar child.
They would gladly drop poison in its
milk bottle or smother it in the dark
with pillow Fortunately for the
infant, its birth has not been an OBJ
scure one, and too many eyes are
watching it to make murder
safe in this case.
With every possibility that this
new nation will be a lasting one,
the question becomes of universal
interest. What blood" runs in its
veins. and what is it's inheritance?
Child OF the Slavic Race.
1t is child of the Slavic race.
1t is akin to the Russian, the Pole,
the Bohemian, and the Slovac. Its
immediate parents are Bulgar and
Serb, but precisely what name it
, viii bear as it grows up remains to
be seen. Perhaps it viii be chris
tened for the country in which it
is born, and be called the Balkan
Empire That might dispose of any
jealousy between its Bulgarian
father and its Servian mother
Luckily it VIII not have to learn
two different lanuages. The Bull
gars and Seryians. and the minor
people of the Balkan peninsula

speak the Slavic tongue which is
one Of the reasons why Russia
would be the head nurse. and the
sole one, for the infant nation. If
she could. But Notwithstanding
her blood relationship. even Rus

No Immediate Changes.

The entire population of these
countries probably does not ex-
coed about 100000. But if they
should now absorb the population
Of European Turkey they would
make q nation of perhaps 10000
GOO souls. Give them free access to
the sea and they might double their
population and quadruple their
wealth.
There is undoubtedly an inter-
mixture of the Slav element in
Greece also. But it is probable that
Greece, while willing to enter into
alliance with the Bulgarians and
Servians, will always prefer to
maintain its national independence.

for no other reason.

Brought the Bulgar Name.

Brought the Bulgar Name,
Those branches with which we
are now particularly concerned
emerged from the southern stem
of the great Slavic family, the
Servians and the Croatians first
and the Bulgarians, who came
from region farther east, a little
later, The Croatians became diff
terentiated from the Serbs. and
We're gradually absorbed into Hun
gary, while the Serbs set up an
independent nation in the western
part Of the Balkan region. and
retained their independence until
they We're conquered by the invad-
ing Turks in the fourteenth cen
tury.
The Bulgars came from the out
skirts of Russia. pushed across the
Danube as early as the Sixth cen
fury, and occupied the eastern part
of the Balkan peninsula. In the
ninth and tenth centuries they
maintained an extensive empire.

empire on the south and the Ser

descended upon them and ultimate

were swallowed up, but the mix

some effect upon the character of
the people who assimilated them
The Byzantine Romans found them

Also, he's fully informed concern
ing all the good clothes that other
mems wives have and that his wife
does not have, and would like TO
have.
Now, it is only too true that the
charges of both the husband and
wife are justified. Neither one has
overstated the dreariness Of his or
her lot. 1t takes money to gild the
gingerbread of matrimony, and in
family where the pocketbook is al
ways lean and empty married life is
stripped Of all the gew- gaws and
tinsel that dazzled it's victims be-
fore they got good close view
OF it.
For the poor man and his wife
married life is one eternal round Of
self-sacrifice and privation. Doing
housework and nursing babies IS
dull and monotonous. Doing with
out pretty clothes and amusement
and gayeties that all women crave
IS privatiOn. 1t IS hard and dis
couraging to a man to see every
dollar that he earns swallowed up
by family expenses and to know
that he can never get ahead in the
race OF life because Of the weight
he carries. 1t Is hard on a man
bitter biting hard-to know that
he must deny himself every diver

and rest, because he must keen

Nothing can be done TO alter the
dread situation that tens of thou
sands of married couples face every

their attention to the fact that the
only thing that can tighten their
burden is the spirit with which they
meet it.

to admit that natrimony, as a
general practice. is a pretty
dreary affair, and that most nus
bands and wives, if they told the
truth, would confess to wondering
why they let themselves in for a
thing that has SO many more kicks
than ha'pence.
The average wife complains that
she il nothing but a domestic slave.
She spends her days in dull round
of monotonous duties and in prac-
ticing petty economies. She cooks
and sews and cleans and walks the
colic-suffering baby ana binds up
cut fingers and pares and skimps
and saves. week after week. month
after month, year after year.
For reward she has the grum-
bling Of a husband VINO is never
quite pleased, VINO takes ali of her
labor and he" sacrifices without
thanks or praise, and who doIes out
the money for the necessary family
expenses with remarks about her
extravaganza that blister her very
soul.
On his part the average married
man says that lie is nothing but a
beast of burden. That he spends
his life Shaving to support family
that can never have enough, and
that all that he gets out Of his la
Dor are the worst clothes in the
family and the bony parts of the
chicken, and the privilege of being
bossed by a wife who makes the
czar of Russia look like q liberal
ruler.
For reward lie gets complaints
and nagging at home and the con-
versation Of a wife who is always
reminding him of August Perkins,
whom she might have married and
who has since made a million.
