methods of agriculture that we used in the United States before the days of the self-biDder and the grain drill are still in force in that region.
 Tt is in Lemberg that the only Polish-doninated legislative assembly in existence holds it's sessions, for Lemberg is the capital of Galicia, and the Poles, both because of their shrewd political ability and their numerical weight, control the Galician legislature in the face of their rivals, the Ruthen- ians of East Galicia. The city of Lemberg is largely modern-a compact nucleus surrounded by scattering suburbs.
 While GaTicia is almost wholly an agricultural region, and while a large percentage of that agriculture is car ried on in the Old-time way, there are some few manufacturing neighbor- hoods and industrial districts. Distil- leries occupy first place among the in dustries, and there are many beet sugar and tobacco factories. Petrole- um springs abound along the Car pathianS, and some of the towns in this region grow from small villages to modern Beaumonts between New Year and Christmas.
 'Galicia has many of the worlds most famous salt mines. Those at Wieliczka have been worked for near ly seven centuries, at one time being a principal source of revenue for the Polish kings. Railroads are not per mitted to run near them lest their vii brations result in caVe-ins. Within these mines are a labyrinth of salt hewn. streets and alleys, lined with pillared churches, staircases, restau- rants, shrines, and monuments.
 Austria has never treated her Poles as the Russians and the Prussians have treated theirs. The Poles of Aus tria are as free to sing their national songs as the people of our own South are free to sing Dixie. They are as much at liberty to glorify their past and to speak their native tongue as though they were free and independ- ent. Except that they must pay their taxes to Austria and serve in Austria's army, they are practically self-gov- ernings
 AS western GaIicia is the strong hold of the Austrian Pole so eastern Galicia is the main dwelling place of the Ruthenian. The two races never get along very well together. The peasant population of Austrian Poland parts of the country the peasant lives in a log hut covered with straw: he breakfasts, dimes, and makes his sup per of porridge, washing it down with bad brandy; and in general lives life full of want and empty of pleasure The peasants who farm for the nobles receive no money in payment, but only a share of the crop, often as low a share as one-twelfth, a wage of slow starva tiOn."

POOREST OF ALL OF
 AUSTRIAN PROVINCES.
Size of State of South Carolina, But With Big Population.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Washington, D. C., June 24.-For months war dispatches from Galicia- where vast armies have swayed back and forth, locked in one of the out standing, titanic struggles of history to decide the fate of empires and of two mighty races-have gripped the popular attention more than the news from any other battle theater. On Galicia's fields during the past few months have been done such featS at arms as the modern world could not have dreamed of; the strength of great Russia swept over this Austrian crownland driving it's powerful armies over the plain in the north. over the central hills, up the southern slopes of the ragged Carpathians, on to their lofty, icy crests. beyond these crests, and lowered over the fertile prairie land of Hungary.
 Here the wave spent it's irresistible force, and upon the dreary mountain rocks, above the clouds, amid the ice and snow and chill cold of early spring the flower of Russian and Austro- German strength began rolling back ward toward the north, still locked in continuous, grinding battle, until now the foothills have been left behind and the terrific contest Is surging in the direction of Lemberg and the northern plain. The nature of this war theater that has beheld among earth's stern est, most bitter scenes is intimately utioSA AbSQ ny W 1llldLu JOSGpA SHOW alter in a statement prepared for the National Geographic Society. This writer says:
 Austrian Poland is practically em- braced by the crownland of Galicia. This cFownIand is almost exactly the size of the State of South Carolina, but it has a population six times as great. If continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, were as densely populated as Galicia, we would boast of a population four times as great as that of Russia. And yet Galicia is the poorest of all the provinces of Austria. It lies outside the ramparts of the Car pathians. which rob it of the warm winds that otherwise would come to it from the south, and also turn back upon it the cold winds of the north. Thus these mountains give Galicia long, cold winters; short, wet springs; hot, blistering summers, and dreary, chilly autumnS.

ital today and which would be her capital tomorrow were Polish dreams to come true. In Cracow, the great city of Poland's past, the royal palace still stands; but it is used as a bar racks and not as the home of a king The cathedral is now the Valhalla of its departed greatness; for there sleep the kings and the heroes from the Jagellons to Kosciuszko. Not far away is the Kosciuszkaberg one of the most remarkable memorials ever reared by the hand of mana huge mound of earth brought by loyal Poles from every battlefield in the world consecrated with Polish blood.
 The country around Cracow is fiat and is devoted almost wholly to small farming and trucking. The peasants dress in white jackets and blue brooches, and wear jackboots; their women folk, with large bright shawls and picturesque head-dress, brighten and give spirit to the country side
