ROUMANIAN CAPITAL
Bukharest Is a Great Artistic and Edu
cational Center.
Describing Bukharest, the capital of
Roumauia, a statement issued by the
Nutional Geographic society says:
“The Roumanians have spared no ef
fort or thought townrd making Bukha
rest, their capital city, a real capital
and not just one of the larger Balkan
towns, cut to the severe design of the
modern commercial city that is found
throughout the west The whole his
tory of the Roumanians since the cast
ing ofT of the Turkish yoke has been
one of conservative progress leavened
with enterprise, of thrift lightened by
keen appreciation of the embellish
ments and pleasures of life. And in
Bukharest one finds more artistic, liters
ary and scientific life than in any other
part of the peninsula.
“Bukharest is an attractive city of
300,000. It is laid out with many broad
boulevards and avenues, as becomes a
capital, and has, as Paris, Berlin and
Washington, famous drives and parks
within its area, an ‘avenue of parades’
and zoological and botanical gardens.
The city is built In a hollow between
the hills upon both sides of the Dambo
vlta river, which is crossed by twelve
ornate bridges. There are some truly
magnificent buildings upon its broad
thoroughfares, among the most promi
nent of which are the royal palace, the
university, the national theater and the
palace of justice. Bukharest has some
squalid sections, with narrow, crook
ed streets, but these are reminiscences
of the Turkish regime and are fast dis
appearing. While Bukharest does a
considerable commercial business, it is
of no importance industrially.
“Bukharest, like our own capital, has
been developed primarily as a capital.
The Roumanians have chosen Paris
and Vienna as their models and have
produced a judicious blending of the
two upon the much smaller Balkan
scale. Bukharest has plenty of good
music, and its people, who gather iu
the concert halls or enjoy the free mili
tary concerts in the evening along
some promenade, are appreciative and
critical listeners. The national theater
brings varied offerings, and that the
best. Then the entertainments of the
little capital are discreet imitations of
social Paris, with a touch of mild
Viennese friendliness. Furthermore,
Bukharest, as also becomes a European
capital, is a great educational center.
Its schools, academies, colleges and uni
versity are models for Balkan coun
tries.”
HIS WIFE’S TRIUMPH.
A Record That Used to Inspire Green,
the Famous Historian.
It has been the fate of many men of
letters to have ill health hearing them
down as they struggle on toward lit
erary achievements. Tims beset in re
cent times were Stevenson, Richard
Jeffries and J. R. Green. Each of these,
it happened, had a high hearted wife
to keep him up, even to help him with
the actual labor of writing. "The Life
and Letters of J. R. Green” show forth
a great and sweet man. They show,
too, a wife whose sympathy and forti
tude helped to make his accomplish
ment possible.
In copying the vast amount of man
uscript of her husband's books Mrs.
Green contracted writer's cramp and
was forced to stop using her right hand.
This looked like a final obstacle in the
way of the invalid, who did much of
his thinking in bed and could not write
himself. Bpt Mrs. Green set to work
at once learning to write with her left
hand.
One of her first practice pages, which
she was about to destroy with the rest,
her husband took quietly and put in
his pocket Years afterward when ill
health seemed unbearable and in dis
couragement he felt that he could not
work he used to take out that piece of
paper, a living record of his wife’s tri
umph over difficulty. When he saw
the painful, patient strokes by which
Mrs. Green had learned to write with
her left hand he could work on with
something near to inspiration.
In Accord.
As Smithers, Havana cigar in mouth,
came out of an expensive restaurant
and started to get into Ills automobile
a creditor held him up.
“I tell you what it is, Mr. Smithers,”
said the.creditor, “you wouldn’t go rid
ing round in a fine automobile like that
if you paid your debts.”
“Ha,” said Smithers, “quite right!
My point of view exactly! Glad to
know you’re in agreement with me.
The golf club, Alphonse.’’—Exchange.
“Professors.”
A “professor" may mean many things,
including a conjurer or n dentist. Orig
inally. I believe, a “professor" meant a
man who professed to be a converted
man or a Christian and so could lie
called upon to have an unpleasant time
for tho entertainment of Ills neighbors.
—G. K. Chesterton in Life.
Eternal Curiosity.
"So you thiuk all public entertain
ments should bo censored?"
"Yes, and I’d like to be one of the
censors.”
“What for?"
“So as to bo sure of not missing any
thing.”—Washington Star.
Nice For Papa.
Little Laura—Are you going to wear i
your religion today, grandma? Grand
ma— What do you mean, dear? Little
Laura—Papa says you use it as a cloak.
