DISTRICT OF FRIULI
HAS 100000 PEOPLE

Washington. D. c., July 6.-The Ma
tional Geographic society explains to
Americans who follow developments
in the European war what is meant by
the district of FriuH. which district the
Italians claim TO have completely over
run:
"Friuli is the lowland and hill re-
gion at the head of the Adriatic sea, in
ancient times one Of the SO duchies in
to which the Langobardi divided north
ern Italy, and, since 1866, divided be-
tween Italy and Austria The FriuIi
district includes the Italian province
of Undine and the district of Porto
gruaro. and the Austrian province of
Goerz and Gradtsca. together with the
so-ealled Idrian district
THE lower slopes of the Julian Alps
in the north, and Of the Carnic Alps in
the east are included in Friuh The
southern part of this region is a rich
alluvial plain. sloping gently into the
Adriatic. and watered by the Isonzo
and several lesser streams.
The whole district, Italian and Aus
trian, includes about 8 300 square miles
of area. It supports about 700 600 peo-
pie. largely an agricultural popula-
ton and for the most part Italian
speaking The inhabitants of the an
Gent duchy are called Furlanfans
Their speech differs from that of the
peninsula Italians, in that it is very
strongly modified by Celtic words
Fancy fruits. wines. grapes and grains
give lavish harvests in Friuli's mild
climate. The table fruits grown here
are known as Injuries throughout
Europe.
The present division Of this coast
land, that OF Venetian and Tyrolese
FriuH. was recognized at an early per-
iod. Tyrolese FriulI came into the pos
session Of Austria in 1900. and Vene-
tian FriuH became Austrian By the
Peace OF Campo Formio in 1897. The
Venetian division was brought back
to the Italian fold in 1855, and now the
Italians claim to have placed the an
cient Austrian division behind their
lines"

What the Trouble Is.

The trouble with the small girl
is that she isn't bigger.
The trouble with the big girl is
that every pair of scales she steps
OH gives her a weigh.
The trouble with 4 great many
editors is that they don think one
half as much as they write.
The trouble with the small boy
is that his big sister never was a
small boy herself and so she doesn t
know how the small boy feels.
The trouble with the average
husband is that he knows his wife
knows he isn't so big man as he
wants the world to think he is.
The trouble with almost all the
ministers is that they don't hear
other ministers preach often
enough to know what a really
frstclass, bang-up sermon is.
The trouble with the young man
in love is that he is insane enough
to think that all other young men
are making just as big fools Of
themselves about his best girl a:
he is.
The trouble with the young
woman in love is that she doesn'
know whether she really loves the
young man for himself alone ol
for the caramels he brings and tn,
prospects of a solitaire diamond tc
dazzle the other girls.
The trouble with the average
wife is that her husband is mucl
more prodigal with his protestatiol
of affection than he is with hi
money, and that he does not vast
much of either unless he wants
button sewed on.
