I the advancing people of the East. They oar-(have a savin? among themselves:

" When a Bulgarian mother's only son returns to btr after a long absence, she does not say to him, My son, how have yoa been?' but, 'My son, what have lyou brought back?'" una anecoote combines their thrift with their super stitions in a very characteristic manner. I had seat a mass of new clothes to a burned village high up oa the mountain tide before the middle of winter, and, having got the tchorboffji's receipt, I delayed going there till early in March. The snow was up to my horse's knees, and the Balkaa wind was cat ting through my sheepskins. To my horror I found myself surrounded by a crowd of half-naked, shivering creatures, soma of the children with only a rag round their loins, the women and rids huddling under tailored rags. Some, they gaid, were too naked to appear. What had happened? had my gift of clothes been lost, or was it stolen, er what? -" Oh, no," screamed adoaea woman at once: " praise God, the clothes are here ail safe; but we have only them and these rags, and if we put them on how could we have new clothes for tba Paschal least?"
