ANCIENT TIRNOvA.
Once the Capital Of Bulgaria, Now q
Mere Relic of the Past.


Tirnova, the ancient capital of
Bulgaria, is the national pride Of
the central Balkan kingdom, where
is epitomized all the history of the
nations former greatness the
glories of its brief period OF Balkan
empire. Sofia, the modern capital,
and all of the more important Bull
garian cities, are brand new. They
are promises for the future, while
Tirnova, perched on a mountain
side, is an inspiration from the past.
There are countless attractions in
this remote little city for the
archaeologist and the student OF
history, and the beauty of its con-
struction, series of terraces climb
ing long sloping hillside, is worth
going far to see. 1t is laid out upon
a cliff 500 feet high, and each house
oyerlooks the roofs of the neighbors
down the street. The appearance
of everything about the town is
medieval, oriental and outworn.
Tirnova was the refuge of tradition,
the one haunt of the old fashioned,
which Bulgaria possessed before its
acquisition of equally worn Mace
DOMAIN cities as fruits of the war
with Turkey in 1912. Elsewhere
in the kingdom the peasant folk
have not been able to 60 ahead fast
enough to suit them, to pull down
the old and rebuild according to
the standard, utilitarian, monotone
tastes of the twentieth century west.
There are number of ancient
churches in the city, and one that
has been church, mosquesa a sta
BILE, Jail and a fortress, as vary
ing fortunes swept over the noun
tain side. The narrow streets run
up and down, and promenade in
the place affords lessons in noun
tain climbing. Turkish arcades and
eastern balconies line many Of the
streets. Most of the buildings are
gabled, one storied buildings OF
great age, and these mark off aim
less alleys that pursue desultory
wanderings all over the hillside.
Tirnova's golden age was lived
during the twelfth century. For
some two centuries it was the capi-
tai of Bulgaria, falling to the Turks
in 1893. 1t has little Importance
today save in the affections of the
Bulgarian patriot. 1t lies off the
beaten tracks, and, so, though beau
tiful in location, it is seldom visited.
It's chief industries are dyeing and
the manufacture of copper ware,
but they have never developed to
such an extent as to bring anything
of the modern air or hustle to the
town. - National Geographic Bull

There seems to be a belief by the

Despite the heavy demand for car

Of raw materials and wages is causing
q widespread check on the production
in the United States, says a recent
issue of the American Carpet and Up
holstery Journal.
In various directions there are symp-
toms of slowing down in the manu-
featuring end of the floor covering in
dustry, though reports from statesmen
Sn the road indicate the retail trade is
much more active. The trouble lies in
the fact that many mills already have
exhausted their supplies and have
stopped their machinery for the sea-
son. This is adding impetus to the
jobbing trade and during the next few
months at least, many buyers who
never looked beyond the manufacturer
for their goods will be forced into the
secondary market.
Sold up mill conditions, anticipation
of advances in price of goods avail
able in July, the European war, the
forthcoming presidential campaign,
trade and crop conditions combined
are creating a series of cross-currents
of extraordinary magnitude and man.
ufacturers are moving with caution.
Though increases in prices made by
manufacturers have been borne salts
factorily by the public, the anticipation
that carpet woods will soar further
this summer has no tendency to cause
factories to overreach themselves.

USES PAPER CUPS FOR SODA
Up-to.Date Drink Fountains Are Now
Adopting Most Sanitary
Device.

Glass soda service-the kind our
grandfathers and the grandfathers of
the present generation of germs knew
is doomed. The new paraffined pa
per cups for sodas and sundaes that
now are being adopted by up-to-date
fountains all over the United States,
are to be had In all Of the regulation
sizes.
They are made of pure white paper
and no glue of any kind holds them to-
gether. They are paraffined on the
outside only, so that they can be used
as successfully for hot drinks as they
can for cold. Special metal holders
are made for them, giving them solid
background, which prevents the spoon
from being pushed through the paper.
The metal dispensing tube holds 80
of the cups, which are placed in the
tube point upward. When needed,
metal holder is placed on the cups, top
downword. By turning the cupholder
to the right the metal tongue is made
to clasp the creased paper, and cup
and holder can then be removed TO-
gether from the Observation-Disclosures

WHY CHILDREN RUN AWAY
Not Mere Naughtiness That Starts
Riddles on the Road to Ad-
venture Land.

When little Willie runs away to
ride the brake beams, to become a
hunter of the wild Apache, or mayhap
q Jesse James; when curly-headed
Mary toddles far from home with her
dollie, the mother usually attributes
their truancy to "mere naughtiness"
or bad companions, or maybe original
sin.
But the children's motive, accord
ing to Investigators, is the same az
that which makes their parents visit
Europe or their uncle John start off
on hunting trip. The causes
ascribed for these various actions are
usually quite different from the real
cause, which is the primitive racial in
stinct to wander-an instinct so deep
seated that it is found in lower ami
mails as we'll as in man.
We all have it, presumably, but
some of us are more enmeshed by con-
ventionalities and the habits of civ
ilized society that we never really re-
spond to the Turing call of the wild
or the blind impulses to start off some
where-no matter where. Others are
so attuned to this instinct that only
lock and key can keep them in one
place.

LABOR DAY is FOR ALL
1t Is Not Intended for Any Class, but
for Americans En-
Masse.

Men of labor came to America In
the Mayfower. A printer and car
penter signed the Declaration of In
dependence. George Washington, the
whole world knows, was a surveyor at
one time in his life. Lincoln was no
more than q day Iaborer. Andrew
Johnson was tailor. William How
ard Taft, after leaving college, was a
newspaper reporter at So a week.
Roosevelt, it can be fairly said, was
a cowboy once.
A working man, by strict defini-
ton, is lone who earns his living by
manual labor'-otherwise, at. tasks
employing his hands. Farmers are
working men and clerks in stores and
Offices must be, under the meaning of
the dictionaries.
Actually, Of course, anyone who
works is working man. Labor day.
consequently, is not for any class, but
for Americans en- mass.
The following are but few of the
thousands of instances where great
men of today began their successful
careers by working with their hands !:
