Balkan Ballads.

In the Balkan countries the ballad
makers have certainly been at least
as important as the makers of laws.
Servia's national ballads, commem-
orat the glories Of the Servian EN-
pc Dushan, the fatal battle of K's-
sovo d the legendary exploits of the
hero Marko Kralyevich and his horse
Sharats, are of Homeric proportions.
and, sung to the accompaniment OF
a guitar with cords of horse-hair tails.
have kept national feeling warm for
centuries. In recent years the Ser
Wan government published popular
edition. In Macedonia, Sir Charles
Eliot heard a schoolboy recite Bull
garian poem which took an hour and
a quarter. with simple but signifi-
cant plot. The Pasha of Sofia sum-
mons a Bulgarian hero who Is his
friend and tells him he has orders to
execute him. The Bulgarian asks
why: the Pasha says he does not
know, but he must do it; and he does.

LOOKING for Owner of Fingers.

A farmer near Kansas City, Mo-,
is looking for the owner of couple
of fingers he has in his possession.
He went to market with load OF
potatoes and started to sleep in his
wagon during the night before market
opened. He was disturbed by the
moving of the canvas over the load
ard, waking, saw hand slip beneath
the canvas and abstract couple OF
the tubers. The operation was re-
peated SO many times that he could
foresee nothing but the disappearance
of the entire load unless he took sum-
mary action. Raising a sharp hatchet
he had with him, the farmer smote
the hand the next time it appeared
and the next morning found two
guilty fingers in the wagon. The re-
mainder of his potatoes were not
molested.

ROMANS HAD MANY SLAVES
In Some Households There Were
Hundreds OF Servants Whose Du-
ties Were Manifold.

The Roman deprived himself OF
many private comforts that he might
make a rich display before his guests.
The wealthy mans dwelling was very
large: the so-called House of the Faun
at Pompeii occupies an entire square;
that of the Roman noble usually COW
cred far greater area.
The care of lordly residence re-
quired the service of a multitude OF
slaves; we hear of man who in tho
country and city together employed
more than four thousand They were
organized somewhat like an army, in
divisions and companies under their
several overseers. Each servant had
as his special duty some minute part
of the household work. Many were
needed for the ceremonies attending
the admission of guests. many for the
care of the baths, bedrooms, kitchen
and dining rooms, as well as for the
wardrobes. toilet and personal serv.
ice of the various members of the
family. On going out the master or
mistress was accompanied by
throng of servants. whose number and
splendid livery advertised the rank
and wealth of their owner. other
companies of slaves spun wool. made
clothes. kept the house in repair. and
cared for the sick. There were some
whose task was to enforce order and
quiet among the rest. We could hard
ly believe that so many persons in
single household could find employ.
ment or that the processes Of labor
could be so minutely portioned out,
did we not take into account the gen.
ius of the Romans for organization.
On the country estates were plow-
men, herdsmen. vine dressers. gar.
deners, keepers of bees, poultry and
fish and many other classes of labor.

Of concrete the economy of introduce
ing steel is not always evident and
should be demonstrated in any partic-
ular case before it Is decided that the
arch must be reinforced.
The conditions to be met in the con-
struction of reinforced concrete cul-
verts make it desirable, from a stand
point of economy, that a relatively
high grade of concrete be used. Any
decrease in the strength of the con-
crete necessitates a corresponding in
crease in some dimension of the mem
bers. and thereby adds to the dead
load which the structure must sustain.
Reinforcing bars should be made
from steel having a safe strength of
not less than $1,000 pounds per square
inch, and should possess sufficient
m~alleability to be readily bent into the
desired shapes while cold. When
placed in concrete they should be free
from rust, grease or foreign materials
of any kind, otherwise a perfect bond
between the bars and the concrete will
not be obtained.
designers OF highway bridge and
drainage structures are urged not only
to investigate the safety and durar
bility of proposed designs, but to con-
slider their esthetic features as we'll.
When bridges and culverts are to be
constructed of permanent materials,
such as reinforced concrete, the de-
should bear constantly In mind
he fact that any esthetic defects
which may be present in such struc-
will become more and more ap-
parent as the community develops.

1efects Of which r hardly noticeable

If these features of the landscape are

be in excellent taste, however, and
yet be almost totally devoid of orna-

an attractive appearance to masonry
