W Vow much of the strength Of
Bulgaria, whose steady prog.
ress during the last forty years
Of troubled existence has COM
pelled the admiration of on
looking nations, Is owing to it's sturdy
womanhood is explained for the Ma
tional Geographic society by Hester
Donaldson Jenkins, an American edu-
Gator In the Balkans, in a monograph
upon Bulgaria and It's Women" Con-
trasting the Bulgarian girls with the
other girls of the Balkans, Miss Jen-
kins says:
Among the oriental girls with
whom lived in my nine years resi-
dence in the near East, none interest
ed me more than the Bulgarians. They
are, perhaps, the least oriental of the
eight or more nationalities to be
found in the Constantinople college, Of
which l was a professor. They are
fairer and brighter in coloring than
The Armenians, Greeks or Persians,
rather taller and larger on an average,
and have far more energy and less
languor than the Turk"
The Bulgarian girls, the writer con-
tinues, distinguished themselves from
the others by a certain wholesome,
out-of-door quality, a sanity which
marked them sharply from the fanci-
full, sentimental and weaker-nerved
girls of some of the other nationali-
ties.
Beautiful Bulgarian Girls.
OF the Bulgar girls physical lovelf
ness, she says:
Bulgarian girls incline to round
ness Of contour and figure, many Of
them having round, full faces, ripe,
rosy mouths, and dimples. This eff
feet is heightened by the fashion of
wearing the hair in braids wound
about the head. One sees plenty of
dark hair in Bulgaria, but one also
looks with pleasure on warm brown
tints, chestnut tresses, and occasion
ally auburn heads. One of the most
beautiful girls ever saw was a Bull
garian, with a glorious mass of copper
colored waves, a clear, pale skin,
handsomely set gray eyes, a delicate
mouth, and small, white teeth, and the
height and carriage of a princess.
1.-THE bright cheeks that so many of
the Bulgarians have are a pleasant
change from the dark or pale skins or
the Armenians and Greeks. Their
eyes are generally less large and Ian
guorous than oriental eyes, looking
you squarely in the face, with more
frankness and less seduction"
Miss Jenkins gives the following
melodious samples of the names Of
her Bulgarian pupils: Nadezda, Ma
delka, Xarafinka, Blagoya, Vesselina,
Goonka, Zdravka. The last names all
end in "ofr" for the men and iowa" for

OriaIn Of "paao.n

The word Dago' was originally
given by sailors to Spaniards, Portu-
guese and Italians, in. general. There
are several theories as to its deriva-
ton. Probably the most widely &C
copied is that the word is a corrup-
ton of the Spanish name Diego, used
as an equivalent of the English Jack
or James. Others believe 1t to be
purely a corruption or nickname de-
rived from the Spanish word hidalgo,
which came to be applied to any for
eigner from Latin Europe. 1t is now
used chiefly as a nickname for Italian
immigrants in this country.

sn.akinn Of Raxonets.

How does the soldier of today pro
nounce the word bayonet? Apparently
much as his officer does. But when
Tommy Atkins was Jack Firelock he
called his "arme blanche" "bagonet."
That was his own word, as "revally"
was, and is, his version Of "reveille"
According to undisproved tradition the
bayonet was first improvised at a
mountain fight in Bayonne, when the
Basques, short of ammunition, tied
sickles to their muskets in rush upon
the Spanish enemy. The French took
ND the word, and the other nations
after them.-London Chronicle.

in her ear, her bright color heightened
by the gay embroideries, and her slen-
der figure, which the straightness OF
her dress cannot spoil, make her an
attractive vision.
Have Plenty Of Amusement.
The pleasures of the girls Miss Jen.
kins describes:
"A girl in Bulgarian village Is not
without her amusements. AS in the
Bible times, all the water for village
must be drawn from one or two wells
or springs, and these watering places
or fountains are the scene of much
sociability. Hither come all the youths
and maidens of the village to loiter.
There Is coquetting and counting
about the fountain and home gather
ings in the evenings. Marriages spring
from mutual abrasion and choice,

For OiIina shaftInas.

There is danger in the oiling Of
shaftings. Even though the machinery
is stopped, someone is likely to start
1t before the worker is through with
his task. This element Of danger Is
removed through the invention Of an
oiler, which may be used while the
worker stands on the floor, thus obvi-
ating the necessity of going among
