Marriaue in BULGARIA.

Since Bulgaria's unconditional sur
render to the allies the men Of her
armies have been struggling homeward
and many weddings are being cele-
brated in consequence.
Bulgarian methods of entertaining
before the wedding do not differ ma
terially from those of other nations
except that the bride instead of haV-
ing her trousseau carefully put away
In the ''hope chest" from which she
only takes it for the privileged few,
hangs 1t up on cords which are stretch
ed across the main room of the
house. Here it is viewed on the
Friday before the wedding by all
the matrOns Of the town, while the
bride and the maidens dance before
the door and remain there until the
matrons have given their full criticism
of each garment and If they disap-
prove of them the girls must help
the bride make them over until "suit-
able"
Instead Of rice, corn as an emblem
of plenty, is shOwered over the bride
and groom, who are escorted to their
home with many ceremonies and they
are virtually Imprisoned within it's
doors.

Typhoon Hurt coconut Trees.

The Christmas typhoon which swept
over the southern Philippine islands
did considerable damage to the COCO
lut plantations. Trees, especially those
along the seashore and places most
open to the wind, were either blown
down or weakened to such a degree
that unless the affected groves are
cleaned up and taken care of, the trees
still standing are doomed, but for an.
other reason, says the bureau Of agri-
culture. The fallen trunks will be-
come breeding places Of all manner Of
beetles, borers and other coconut de-
StrOying pests and diseases. The
weakened trees, unable to fight these
odds, will sooner or later Succumb and
thus the farmers will suffer more
losses.

simpIe Resistance unIts-

To a British firm goes the credit
for introducing very simple type Of
resistance unit which possesses nu-
merOus and important advantages.
The wire or strip member is supported
on a single rod passing through the
center section Of each leg of the zig
Jagged wire or strip. Among the spe-
cfal advantages claimed are: Very
large radiating surface for given ca
pacity; small weight for q given ca
paclty; absolute freedom for expan-
sion; owing to the large surface and
small bulk of metal they cool very
quickly; they are absolutely unaffect-
ed by vibration or jolts; units can be
run red-hOt without danger of sagging
repairs can be effected on separate
units; tapping can be taken off any
where along the center clamp; the
number Of units being small compared
with grid resistance Of equal capac-
ity, there are not many joints to cause
trouble.-Scientifc American.

ROADS IN NATIONAL FORESTS
New Law Makes Available for Expend-
iture 100000 for Roads
and Trails.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The development OF the national for
est road systems is given great impe~
tuS by the terms Of the post office APP
preparations act which the president
has signed. Besides increasing by
S2O0OOO,0O0 the total fund available
under the federal aid road act. the
new law makes available for expendi-
ture by the secretary Of agriculture
100000 for roads and trails
The law also authorizes the Secre-
tary Of war TO transfer TO the Secre-
tary of agriculture, material, equip
ment and supplies suitable for high
way Improvement and not needed by
the war department While most OF
this will be distributed among the high
way commissions of the states for use
on federal aid road projects, not to
exceed 10 per cent may be reserved by
the secretary of agriculture for use in
luilding natural forest roads or other
roads constructed under his direct SUI
pervisiOn.
The $4,000 900 fund may be used for
maintenance as we'll as survey and
construction. The new legislation, like
the federal aid road act, authorizes the
building of roads and trails necessary
for the use and development of ma
tiOnal forest resources or desirable for
the proper administration, protection,
and Improvement of such forest, or
cooperative local contributions can be
obtained, but in addition it contains
new feature of much Importance.
This new feature permits the secre-
of agriculture without the cooperation
Of local officials to build and maintain
"any road or trail within a national
forest which he finds necessary for
the proper administration, protection
and improvement of such forest, or
which in his opinion Is of national
Importance" In the view of forestry
officials this law is the most important
srep ever taken for rapid development
of national forest roads system, and
will be of inestimable benefit to the
local public.
THE measure gives us much broader
scope for a fully developed program
than we have had before" says Henry
S. Graves, chief Of the forest service,
in commenting on the new law. "Un-

THAT R0CKING-CHAIR SHRINE
Place Where Mother Sat Is Forever
Sacred in the Memories of Her
Children.

By the window in the sitting room
stood the old chair. It was moth
er'S chair"-otherwis 1t would have
been just a chair. With mother In 1t,
however, 1t became a shrine to which
flocked her devoted little wOrshipers.
In the rocker, as we sat on moth
er'G knee or at her side-fOr the chair
was generously made-the bumped
head and the bruised heart were
healed, says a writer in the Peoples
Home Journal. Frightened, we found
there a safe retreat, refuge from ev-
cry harm. At night the bedtime story
was told to the rhythm of its soothing
swing. Joys, sorrows, all were brought
to its encircling arms. Mothers chair,
rocking, rocking, rocking by the win
dow.
The old chair, we think, had hand
in the making of character. Maybe
1t was more effective in this service
than we realize. Seated in 1t, we
watched the needle in quick, nimble
fingers, glinting in and out among the
frayed edges tirelessly; we heard our
childish perplexities explained over
and over again, with no hint of vex-
alton; we sang the songs which taught
us some of the beauty Of life; we lis
tened to stories of bravery and truth.
Industry, patience, beauty, courage,
honesty-they can be traced back
through a golden pathway straight TO
mothers chair.
The old chair has seen valiant serv-
ice Old-fashiOned, SCARED and worn,
1t still stood in the familiar place by
the window. Why is it not refnished
the scars smoothed out, the worn
places covered? What! Cover the
marks which little hands have made,
the worn spot where mothers tired
head rested, the scars made by tiny,
restless feet? Such a question came
from one who did not understand. To
him the old chair was mere wood and
paint-1ust a piece of furniture, not
a shrine.
We do not say it aloud-our great
est lOngings are not spoken-but some
times when life gets tangled we find
ourselves going again to the old chair
to have the knots united. When grief
comes we sob it out there When joy
comes we run to tell it there When
we fail, when we win, our thoughts
take US to the old chair. And at night
the little lisping prayers come beg
gtng to be said and we send them,
along with our grown-up petitions,
up to heaven by way Of that sacred
shrine.

Dancer in Imported Earth

For long time a great many ships
coming from Europe into the port Of
New York have been dumping earth
ballast along the shores of East river,
Hudson river, and elsewhere around
the bay. This is a source of risk Of
the entry Of undesirable plants and
plant pests, in the opinion of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
and an inquiry has been started to de-
termine the extent Of this risk and to
provide safeguards against It, There
IS g possibility of the introduction Of
soil-infecting diseases, injurious nema-
todes, and alternating insects, any Of
which, unless preventive measures
were taken, might spread over the
country or considerable parts Of II.

GREAT EVENT FOR MOSLEMS
Gala Day When the PROCESSION Of the
Holy Carpet" Leaves Cairo for
City of Mecca.

Always picturesque, Cairo IS never
more fascinating than during the PRO
cession of the Holy Carpet" In the
baZaars we watch the barefOOted
workmen embroidering, holding the
cloth in their toes, which appear TO
be prehensile, or watch them go to
the nearest mosque to bathe FIVE times
a day. AS many times a day also
from the minarets Of mosques the
nuezzins are reminding the natives OF
the approaching festival, and that "GOd
is great there is no God but God, and
Mohammed Is his prophet. Come to
Prayer"
HOwling dervishes are dancing In
the mosque near the Square Of Sutten
Hasan, while devOut Moslems are en-
gagged in eventide prayer on their
hOusetOps. Water carriers are on the
way to the yellow Nile for water, or
are bearing wine in their goatskins the
same as in Biblical times, while aged
men in the mosques are appareled ex-
actly as in Abraham's day.
The streets are filled with soldiers,
while thousands Of civilians attend the
ceremonial held in the sacred prophet
ic inclOsure in the great square near
the citadel. The enclosure is a pyra-
midal wooden structure covered with
embroidered stuffs emb!azoned with
gold embroidery and quotations from
the Koran. Here the people receive the
blessings Of the prophet, together with
Special dispensations and sacred tails
mans.
The khedive and his dignitaries are
all present to formally start the cara
van and its military escort toward
Mecca, in far-off Arabia. The people
press forward to touch the sacred in
closure, kissing 1t with fervOr. WOm-
en- let down their shawlS and face wells
from the windows, as the procession
at last starts. Following it are the
pilgrims who will accompany the car
pet to the sanctuary in the mosque at
Mecca, and who will return later with
the same caravan to Cairo, bearing the
carpet Of the previous year.

New Uses of Raw Products.

The Weltmarket directs attention to
new uses of some raw products. In
Holland useful gum or paste is being
made from garlic. The bulbs are
pressed and the juice or fluid matter
SO obtained is thickened by inspissa-
ton. A good substitute for cork Is OBJ
tanned from certain fungi, which are
dried and ground, mixed with cement
Ind consolidated by pressure. IN Nor
way process has been patented to
enable carbide to be used for driving
motors. In Denmark a company has
been flOated to make briquetteS from
heather. These have a higher heat
value than peat. Experiments are be-
hg made to use chalk mari, especially
that which comes from the Limburg
mines, as a manure.

Got Him at Last

He was a large, dapple-gray, ssnd-
ble-looking horse. 1t was his task to
pull a bakers wagon from house to
house in a district on the North side,
as the driver lodged in and out OF the
houses with his basket Of bread and
cakes.
Fritz" called out the driver as he
ran down the porch steps, intending
that as a notice to his faithful friend
to move on down the street. The
horse did not move.
Charlie" spoke up the driver
again, and the old dapple-gray stepped
or promptly.-Indianapo News.

Good Road in One of Our National
Forests.

Ger the federal aid road act we had
for roads within or partly within the
forests, 81 100000 year, available un-
til expended Owing TO the war, which
practically halted the work, we have
an accumulated balance Of 81 100000
uneypcnded and another $1,OO0000
which will become available July l.
This legislation will not only make
it easier to protect the forests with
out costly expenditures to fight bad
fires in inaccessible localities, but will
also help enormously the many small
communities and scattered settlers in
and near the forests who now suffer
for lack of roads It will also en-
able the construction Of important
trunk-line roads crossing the noun
tains, with suitable provision Of sub
sidiary roads. One result unquestiOn-
ably will be a marked development OF
recreatiOnal use Of these great national
Fairgrounds with their wealth Of too
little known attractions. Altogether,
the opening up Of the forests to more
complete and varied use by the pub
lie, which is the fundamental object Of
their administration, will be tremen-
d0usly advanced"
Under the law preference is given to
the employment Of hOnOrably dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
for the required labor.

National Forest Area Reduced.

The president on February %, 1919,
signed a proclamation eliminating 81
779 acres from the Helena national for
est, Montana. The lands affected are
situated along the exterior boundaries
Of the forest and large portion OF the
lands excluded are already Ia private
ownership.
This action is based on the recon-
mendation made by the secretary OF
agriculture as a result Of the land clas-
sIhcation done by the forest service.
It was found that the lands had prac-
dcalIy no vAlue for national forest

Congress Shoes Come Back.

There has been a very decided reviv-
al Of the old congress gaiter," with
its elastic insert at the sides, which
were very generally worn more than q
quarter of a century ago. The explain
alton rests in the fact that American
shoes are now being extensively worn
by the natives of Japan. The more
rapid adoption of the western styles of
lace and button shoes is made difficult
by the native custom that requires that
shoes be removed before a person en-
ters a home or inn. In some cases 1t
is even required that the shoes be re-
moved or at least covered with cloth
protectors before entering shops, thea
ters and similar public buildings. This
custom has led to the quite general
adoption of the Old-fashioned but con-
venient congress" boot by those who
wear occidental footwear during busi-
ness hours.

Gotham had wartime appearance
last might. More army and navy uni
forms were in evidence along Broad
way than at any slime since Uncle
Sam was sending thousands Of sol
diers overseas. On the eve of the
Army Navy football game the hotels
were crowded with the supporters of
the land and sea lighters and promise
OF the game to be the most brilliant
from the standpoint of a spectacle in
the history of the annual gridiron
contests between the coming generals
and admirals.
The Army was a slight favorite
among betting men. but service folks,
whether their affiliations lean toward
the Army or Navy. believe the odds
should be even money. and were wag-
ering accordingly. Because so many
OF the males OF voting age in the
country wore either khaki or blue
within the last year there was more
betting on the game than ever before.
Most Of the money was laid at evens.
Army On Edge
I This was about as it should be on
the records of the two teams for the
season. The Army had the harder
schedule. aad for this reason IS sup
posed among football men to he more
ready for the hard contest. But the

fine point, and if they are beaten they
will go down with their flag flying.
