Tiruova, the ancient capital of Bulgaria, is the national pride of the central Balkan kingdom, where is epitomized all the history of the nation's former greatness,* the j glories of its brief period of Balkan i empire. Sofia, the modern capital, ! and all of the more important Bulgarian cities, are brand new. They j are promises for the future, while j Tirnova, perched on a mountain 6ide, is an inspiration from the past. There are countless attractions in this remote little city for the archaeologist and the student of | history, and the beauty of its construction, a series of terraces climbing a long sloping hillside, is worth going far to see. It is laid out upon a cliff 500 feet high, and each house overlooks the roofs of the neighbors down the street The appearance of everything about the town is medieval, oriental and outworn. ! Tirnova was the refuge of tradition, the one haunt of the old fashioned, i which Bulgaria possessed before its I acquisition of equally worn Mace- j | donian cities as fruits of the war with Turkey in 1912. Elsewhere : in the kingdom the peasant folk , have not been able to go ahead fast enough to 6uit them, to pull down i the old and rebuild according to the standard, utilitarian, monotone I tastes of the twentieth century west. There are a number of ancient > churches in the city, and one that j has been a church, a mosque^ a sta! ble, a jail and a fortress, as vary. in? fortunes 6wept over the raoun i o 1 tain side. The narrow streets run up and down, and a promenade in i the place affords lessons in mouni tain climbing. Turkish arcades and eastern balconies line many of the j streets. Most of the buildings are ! gabled, one storied buildings of j great age, and these mark off aimj less alleys that pursue desultory ! wanderings all over the hillside. Tirnova's golden age was lived j during the twelfth century. For ; some two centuries it was the capi; tal of Bulgaria, falling to the Turks i in 1393. It has little importance j today save in the affections of the j Bulgarian patriot. It lies off the beaten tracks, and, so, though beautiful in location, it is seldom visited. Its chief industries are dyeing and the manufacture of copper ware, i but they have never developed to | such an extent as to bring anything of the modern air or bustle to the town. ? National Geographic Bulletin. Long Winded. In the days of his youth Senator Blackburn of Kentucky was asked by a friend to second a duel. He consented, and at the next sunrise the parties met It was Mr. Blackburn's dut) to say the last word concerning the terms of the duel. One of the senator's colleagues recently said at a Washington dinner that although Mr. Blackburn faithfully performed the duty the duel never took place. '4 murmur of "Why not?" went round the table at this remark. "For a very simple reason;" continued MY. Blackburn's colleague. "When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for a duell"?Washington Poet.

It is impossible to know who was the author of the multiplication table, but it is known to have been in existence in the days of the builders of the ruined cities of Mesopotamia, whose records are now being patiently deciphered by archae ologists. Tablets are found wtocn tell us of their system of education, banking, accounting, business correspondence, etc., and among others are multiplication tables. So the multiplication table is probably not less than G,000 years old.?Christian Herald. But What Did He Mean? A certain celebrated statesman of the last generation was an adept at mystifying his listeners in rather pointed remarks. This is one of his most classic apologies: "llr.

Columbia college will co-operate with other educational institutions of learning in Columbia in producing April 25 a pageant and masque to celebrate the tercentenary of the death of Shakspere. More than a thousand people will take part in the joyous and elaborate May-day scene on the University campus in the afternoon. Many merry-makers will be there, joining in the spirit of the day with the good Queen Elizabeth, courtiers, literary men and Shakespere's characters. Columbia college will furnish the personnel of two measures on the green, the chorus for a few of Shakspere's songs, the characters of Romeo and Juliet,Pericles and The Winter's Tale and the nine muses. Three members of the faculty, Profs Peele, Ariail and Pugh, will appear as officials of London. It is the duty of the muses of History, Lyric Poetry, Tragedy and Comedy to produce the garland for Shakspere's brow. In the evening at the Columbia theater scenes from Shakspere's plays, woven together in masque form,will be presented. This instit ution win produce me statue scent* from The Winter's Tale. In addi tion, various ones of the muses will appear in the connecting: links of the masque. The immensity of the undertaking and the large number of students taking part make this celebration State-wide in its significance, and it will be in reality South Carolina's tribute to the great bard.
