Carb of Roumanians.

The Wallachian peasant who has
not adopted the homely clothes that
come from the rcady-to-wcar factor
les of western Europe is pictures
uuely dressed man. His costume is
white. The trousers are something
like twice the length Of the leg, and
are made to fit with numerous wrin-
kles: his shirt Is made to hang tunic-
like over his trousers. and Is gathered
Mt the waist with a red belt; his coat
Is q sort of military cape, usually or
brown woclens or of tanned sheepskin.
The peasant woman usually grows
some silk. She buys the sllkworm eggs
and uses the spare bed, IL there be one
in the house, as hatchery. She feeds
the worms on mulberry leaves, and, II
the ants do not invade the place and
destroy the worms, she soon has
enough fiber for veil or waist. She
spins and weaves 1t herself. She has
n keen appreciation OF color values
and combinations. She embro!ders her
dresses with thread she has grown
from the sced-so to speak-for she
plants the fax, gathers the fiber and
carries 1t through oil the processes,
from breaking and cording to spin
ming.

How Town Was Named.

An interesting story is told as to the
origin Of the name ''Moose Jaw" as up.
piled to town In Canada. Some 80
years ago, so the story runs, a pioneer
with his team Of oxen and "prairio
schooner" while passing along the
banks of the river, was obliged to
camp at this point In Saskatchewan
on account OF IN accident to his cart.
A spoke had fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart.
He looked about for something to in
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busted herself
with the evening meal.
The pioneers child, while romping
around, found the jawbone of moose,
which she held up to her father, who
by this time almost despaired Of find
ing anything with which to repair his
cart. he was delighted to find that the
jawbone exactly cited the place Of the
missing spoke. The Indians thereafter
named this district "The Place Where
the White Man Found the Moose Jaw"
This, 1t Is said, accounts for the towns
queer Washington Star.

NO INCREASE IN FEES.
Legislature Provides for BOOst-Not
 Enforced Here.

The last session of the legislature provided for change in the fees to be charged by town clerks, effective on April 1. According to the revised schedule warantee deeds cost 50 cents instead of 40 cents, mortgage deeds cost 60 cents instead of 50 cents, re- leases of mortgages cost 55 cents in- stead of 40 cents and recording costs 50 cents page instead of 40 cents page.
 As yet, according to City Clerk A. l.. Thompson, this revised schedule of prices have not been charged at the local city clerkss office. According to Col. Thompsons view, this law is made to apply to town clerks who are entitled to put all fees into their own pockets as a part of their pay. Inasmuch as all fees here go into the city treasury there is some doubt in the clerks mind whether it is advis- able to boost the price.

 Threatened With Starvation.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Norway, fac ing starvation if the United States cuts exports of food, is ready to re- lease a million tons of her shipping in return for the privilege of import ing food, principally from the United States.
 Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, head of the Norwegian mission to the United States, declared here today unreserv- edly that Norway faced privation II the United States forced an export embargo against her.
 pr. Nansen compared possible con- ditions with those existing during the Napoleonic wars, when the Danlsh fleet was taken by the English ana Norway was forced to side "ltn France He said, however, that Nor- way would maintain her present posi- tion of neutrality as NorWeglans can see no possible benefit to any one If they should enter the war on either side.
 Anxious to maintain their place in the world as a seafaring nation, a common carrier of world commerce, and in order that foodstuffs for them selves and keep their maritime flag afloat, he said they were willing to barter ships for food
 The Norwegian ships would be put into the coastwise trade as soon as congress revises the navigation laws to permit foreign ships to do so.
