PRINCESS is CZAR'S MANAGER
Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter of Ruler OF
Bulgaria, Said to Be Cleverest
of Family.

Princess EudoXia, the eldest daugh
ter of the cZar of Bulgaria, is said to
be the clevereSt member of Ferdinand's
family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and ENJOYS and
apologies to them for Ferdinand's
mysterious absences runs Ferdinand's
farm at VitOsch when Ferdinand is not
hiding there; directs his business spec
ulations and his enormous private
wealth, and, in particular, runs his big
land-deyelopment scheme around Chas-
kovo, near the Turkish frontier.
EudOxia is black-eyed, lively and
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares
to be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side
instead of the allies because Germany
has vast supplies of bridegrooms of
royal, princely and ducal blood. In
Sofia, Eudoxia is known as "Balkanska
Dieva"-the Maid of the Balkans. In
summer she makes solitary tours In
the hills. puts up in shepherds huts,

SECRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
Vibrating Balance Between Head and
Heart at Top Speed, Is Deduction
Of Magazine Writer.

Intensely alive, is the chief impress
sion one has of the French, writes
John Galsworthy In the Atlantic. They
balance between head and heart at top
speed in a sort of electric and eternal
see-saw. 1t is this perpetual quick
. change which gives them, 1t seems to
me, their special grip on actuality {;
they never fly into the cloud regions of
theories and dreams their heads have
not time before their hearts have inter-
vened, their hearts not, time before
their heads cry, "Hold!" They appre-
bend both worlds, but with such rapid
alienation that they surrender to
neither.
The secret Of French culture lies In
this vibrating balance; from quick
marriage of mind, and heart, reason
and sense, in the French nature, all
the clear created forms of French life
arise, forms recognized as forms with
definite utility attached. Controlled
expression is the result of action and
reaction. Controlled expression is the
essence of culture, because it alone
makes a sufficiently clear appeal in a
world which is itself the result of the
incalculable interplay of complement
tary or dual laws and forces.
French culture is near to the real
heart of things, because it has sort
of quick sanity that never loses it,
way or, when it does, very rapidly re
covers the middle OF the road.

PASS AROUND THE LOVING CUP.

Pick out the folks you like the least
and watch 'em for while;
They never waste kindly word, they
never waste smile;
They criticise their fellowmen at
every chance they get,
They never found human just to
suit their fancy yet.
From them l guess you'd learn some
things, if they were pointed out
Some things that every one OF us
should know lot about;
When someone "knocks" brother
pass around the loving cup
Say something good about him, if you
have to make it up.
It's safe to say that every man God
made holds trace of good
That he would fain exhibit to his fell
lows if he could;
The kindly deeds in many soul are
alternating there,
Awaiting the ragement of other
souls that dare
To show the best that's in them; and
an universal move
Would start the whole world running
in hopeful, helpful groove;
Say something sweet to paralyze the
"knocker'' on the spot
Speak kindly of his victim, if you
know the man or not!
The eyes that peer and peer to find
the worst brother holds,
The tongue that speaks in bitterness,
that frets and fumes and scolds,
The hands that bruise the fallen,
though their strength was made
to raise
The weaklings who have stumbled at
the parting of the ways
All these should be forgiven, for they
know not what they do"
Their hindrance makes a greater
work for wiser ones like you;
So when you scourge wretched one
:. who's drained sins bitter cup,
Say something good about him if you
have to make it up.

SOLDIERS REST HOUR.

Providing generously for the physf-
cal well-being of his boys in khaki,
Uncle Sam does not stop there. He
throws open in all the camps whole
some recreations for the soldiers play
hour, baseball, tennis and water
sports; at the same time he does all
that any government can do to protect
the army community from the inrOads
of vice. In a number of cantonments
the Y. M. G. A. will have as many as
seven buildings, offering amusement
and instruction and giving facilities
,or study and writing. The American
Library association is preparing to in
stall suitable libraries and give the
services of trained librarians Lecture
and study courses will be arranged to
meet the wants of young men who may
have been taken from their studies to
be made into soldiers, says American
Review of Reviews. Altogether, the
soldiers mental and moral betterment
will be more effectively and systemati-
cally promoted than has ever before
been possible in the massing of so great
an army.
