RuMANlA IN BRIEF.



From the Minneapolis Journal
To King Charles Rumania owes most Of
Its modern development. He was one of
the most progressive OF monarcbs He
built up an army of the first class, car
RED out great national works, inspired and
supported an educational system, encour-
aged railway development, and organized
the agriculture OF the country so effec-
lively that Rumania Is now one of the
world. = -
Today the peasants hold close upon l.
WO.OOO small holdings. This Is the more re-
markable in view Of the fact that at one
time the whole Of the land of the country
was practically held by the boyards, or In
Terror mobiles, the peasants merely owning
small patches of land adjacent to their
huts or novels.
The manufacturing industries, greatly
handicapped by the cheap productions Of
Germany and Austria, include flour and
saw milling, match making, petroleum dis
tiiiing, tanning, boot and shoemaking. and
The principal salt mines are worked by
conyicts. and produce fine. blush gray
rock salt
Rumania Is very rich In forests, which
cover over 5000, 900 acres-more than one
sixth OF the country-half Of which belong
TO the state.
The favorite drink of the Rumanian
peasants Is tzuica, an ardent spirit made
chiefly from plums. The annual output OF
this spirit is about 100000 gallons.
While the late King Charles did much
for the development of his country, his
widow. Carmen SYLVIA" the Admirable
Crichton" OF her sex, devoted herself to
maintaining the poetry, legendary lore ami
picturesque national customs Of the coun-
try.
Bucharest is one Of the most up-to-date
cities OF Europe. OF late II has become
quite a resort during the winter season.
In preference to climbing the Alpine
heights or wandering on the Riviera.
Rumania itself. the area Of which IL
rather less than that of England, without
Wales, presents the form of a regular
blunted crescent. Some writers compare
u to q sausage.
Its population Is about 100000, and IL
composed OF four distinct divisions or de-
partments-the Moldavlan and Oltenic,
who are tall, hne men, many being exceed
tnsiy handsome, and who are principally
mountaineers, and the Valachie and the
Dobridge, who are mostly OF Turkish orr
gin. The population also includes 200, O00
Eipsies. There arc believed to be about

adventure. He was so pleased with II
that one day he purchased a tea set
OF costly porcelain as a gift for his

years, had the misfortune TO break one
OF the precious cups. He was heart

sympathetic queen took the -roken
pieces and put them together, saying;
think We can fix that. Just paste
1t together with cement. The edges
are smooth and won't show much.
Leave the rest t. me. I'll do what
can to save you"
When the royal family sat down to
tea the next time. the injured cup was
at Queen Emma's place. The queen
pretending to be very thirsty, drank
all the tea at once and then, as II
struck with a sudden idea, she turned
quickly in her chair toward the king
and her arm swept the CUP TO the
floor. As 1t crashed into 1,ese pieces
the queen affected an expression Of
deepest regret and said timidly: There,
your majesty, see what an awkward
servant I am. Now. the emily thing
you can do Is to dismiss me from your
