TRAITS OF CHILDREN
How Parents of the Balkan

Montenesrin Youngsters Taught to
Fight Turks to the Death--9n sul-
aaria Racial Hatred Is Taught
in Public Schools.

Czhitse. Servia.-One cannot help
wondering during wartime what the
children of the belligerent nations
think about it all. How do the panics.
| the carnage, the firing Of guns appear
to their young minds?
IL is fairly easy to answer this ques-
! tion so far as Montenegro is concern
! ed, for from the earliest age children
! take the keenest interest in their Ia

dozen or so knives, pistols aud other
| knick- knacks he wears in is wide

A Montenegrin would be just as like
ly to go for stroll down the village
street without his entire arsenal as
a Philadelphia dandy would be likely to
walk down Chestnut street without
his collar.
In Spain ! used to watch the chill
dren play, and here the game was in
variably bull-fghting, but in Monte
negro the only game for babies rs war
to the death with the Turk.
The Montenegrins are stern race,
and the fathers. though devoted to
their children, do not believe in PAM
pering them.
But | shall not easily forget the face
Of Prince Mirko, the second son of
King Nicholas, ana the idol OF the ma
tion. when he told me of the death OF
his two children. They caught typhoid
fever in Nice and died within a few
days of each other.
Have you any children" he asked
me.
None" l replied.
We'll, you may thank heaven for
that" said he, for you will never go
through the agony l suffered. l veri-
ly thought my heart was broken and
that l never could be happy again.

Riviera mentioned, and wild horses
will not drag me to Nice again"
Servian children are like pretty lit
tie dolls with great dark eyes, and
wearing long white shirts under
charming brown suede leather zouave
Jackets edged with fur.
These jackets are most quaint and
original, and are decorated with ara
besques and devices of gaily colored
feathers and pieces of looking glass
sewn in imitation of sprays and flow
ers.

so that the coats are very warm.

sumrAer day how they can stand the
heat.
Their manners are very pleasing
and they remind one OF nice little
puppies or kittens. The Servians have
a certain regard for their offspring
without any wild devotion.

of my friends out there by my par
tiality for fourlegged creatures. was
sitting outside cafe at Uzhitse feed
ing a cat with the remains of my dish
of kaimak, the Servian equivalent to
Devonshire cream. This extravaganza
they put up with, but when they saw
me tempting a dog with bits of sugar
they thought it was time to remon-
| strate.
"Gospozha!" they exclaimed. What
a strange thing to do! Why, you ought
to put that sugar in your pocket and
give it to children on the road"
In Bulgaria one hears of horrible
massacres of babes. Only a day or
two ago Bulgarians near Rustohuk at
tackled harmless Turkish settlement
and spared neither women nor chill
dren
But the Bulgarians set great store
by their schools, and in these schools
racial hatred is encouraged, and even
the youngest learns that he will some
day has to struggle for mastery
with the Serb, the Greek and the
Turk.
Unlike the babies of other Slav ma
tions, the Bulgarians are not. as a
rule, beautiful. They are wooden-look-
ing, fiat faces, and are rather Mon
golian In type but they are as hard
as nails.
Carmen sylvia of Roumania might
we'll be called the Children's Queen.
She adores children, and the grief OF
her life was when her little daughter
died.
She has never really recovered from
losing her only child, but it has had
the effect of making her as good as a
mother to all her young subjects.
No one will ever know the extent
OF her benevolence and charity, and
Roumanian mothers bless her name.
She interests herself especially in
the blind, and her home for blind chill
dren is perhaps the most excellent
charity Of the country.
One of the things that strikes Wis
itor to Roumania is how everything
is discussed before children.

Conflict With Self.

Let no enemy from without be fear
ed; conquer thine own self and the
whole world IS conquered. What can
any temper from without, whether the
devil or the devils minister, do
against thee? Whosoever sets the
hope Of gain before thee to seduce
thee: let him find no covetousness in
thee; and what can he who would
tempt thee by gain effect? Whereas,
IL covetousness be found in thee, thou
takest fire at the sight OF gain, and art
taken by the bait of this corrupt food.
But II We find no covetousness in
thee, the trap remains spread in vain.
Thou dost not see the devil, but the
object that engageth thee thou dost
see. Get the mastery then over that
Of which thou art sensible within.
Fight valiantly, for he who hath re-
generated thee is thy Judge; he hath
arranged the lists, he is making ready
the crown.-Saint Augustine

History Of the Pipe.

The history of the development OF
pipes is fascinating and forms an i'm.
portant part in the history of censers.
1t is believed that the pipe ante-dates
the use of narcotic herbs, such as TO-
bacco. although the Importance Of
smoke appears to have been chiefly, II
not wholly. due to its supposed medi.
cal properties. The offering of IN.
cense made by the Aztecs to the
Spanish conquerors resembles in
many respects the familiar peace pipe
customs of the American Indians,
and the pipes themselves are similar
to those found everywhere between
southern Mexico and Canada The
custom of smoking probably did not
originate through the enjoyment OF
the taste OF the smoke but arose IN
connection with the development Of
the fire cult In which It had sacred
significance.

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Opposition

lleved to have effectually put quietus,
for the present at least, on the propo.
sition to incorporate into the bureau
of mines a provision for the establish
mcnt of ore testing and mine expert
ment stations in various western states.
The subcommittee having in charge
the formation of bill amending the
ordinance act creating the bureau of
mines is understood to be now opposed
to these mine experiment stations.
Assayers in nearly all Of the big west
ern mining centers have not only for.
warded long protests, but have exerted
every possible influence with members
to prevent the plan being recommended
by the subcommittee.
"1t would be useless to attempt to
incorporate such a provision in a bill
at this time, - said Representative Tay~
lor of Colorado, Democratic member
of the subcommittee, "for the reason
that it would make a demand on the
public treasury for ono of these sta
tions in every big mining community,
and the appropriations committee would
turn them all down.
