In these days when Roumania emerges from the wreckage of the old continentzl order as the greatest and potentially strongest state of south- eastern Europe, the realization is need- ful that a Latih people, imbued with Latin culture and the consciousness of u Latin sorority of nations, exists on the barks of the Black sea and oc- Cupies as an’ outpost the. west one of the most important strategic positions . at the gates of the Orient. Through the union of Transylv: and Bessarabia, Roumanian time immemorial, with the old K dom former by the fusion of Walla- chia and Moldavia, Roumania comes “to occupy an area almost as large as that of Italy, with a pepulation more than twice that of Belgium. i Traveling Libraries a Success. “Traveling Libraries,” an experl- ment tried by the Saskatchewan gov- ernment, has met with such spontane- ou$ success that an additional appro- priation of $10,000 has just been made further to: extend the project. Tod: there are more than 300 of these li- braries between the international bor- der and the Nerthwest territorie The libraries have had a special ap- yex’u to trappers of the Hudson Bay company. Officials of this company say that the trapipers, about whom vol- umes of thrilling tales have been writ- ten, do not care particularly for stories of adventure. They turn to fictién of city life, of soclety if possible. Each traveling library consists of 50 books, which are shipped in & strong box to a group of residents who act as dis- tributors in heir respedtive districts. VERBENA HELD AS SACRED' Would Protect the Wearer From Injury. The verhena plant was held in the greatest yCheration by~ the ancient Romans, who Dbelieved that a few leaves of ~it worn on the person would protect against injury, and Romsn brides who gathered and wore a wreath of verbena were eonsidered fortunate. v The. plant came by its name from an old Roman custom. Whenever a dispute was had with another nation an ofticial-called verbanerius was sent to discuss, it with the offending coun- try. This official wore a~ wreath of verbena. If war was decided upon an irop-tipped spear with a sprig of ver- bena tied to it was shot into the en- emy territory as a declaration of war. - . The Druids dedicated the verbena to their priestess, /gathering it at the tull moon. . No one was allowed to touch it with the hands. It was up- rooted by being tied to the foot of a voung girl. Hungarian gypsies be- lieve that if a' cut is made in the palm of the hand and a tiny piece of verbena leaf is placed in it and the wound allowed to heal over the per- son will be able to open all locks with a single touch.—Detroit News. | Pretty Chinese Legand. One of the prettiest legends of Chi- nese mythology fs that of the weaver girl and the-herd laddie who are said to be tfo stars in the sky.

On that night shy maidens place a few sticks of incense with some sweets and fruit on a table in the inner court- yard as an offering to the two s ", perhaps with an unexpressed prayer that in their own case the course of true love may run more smoothly than it did for the immortal dovers in the 8ky. Armenian Language Is Old. The Anmenian tongue, however much it has changed in the course of cen- turies, descended from the language that Prinm and Hector spoke. The Ar- menians hail, like Homeric "T'rojans, from Thra which subsequently be- came incorporated in the Byzantine or eastern Roman empire. Erzerum, capi- tal of Armenia, has retained the death- less nume of Rome. It was founded in the year 514, by Theodosius, a sebas- tos, that.is, emperor, of eastern Rome. He called it Theodosiopolis; but its na- tive name is Krzerum, or “Armenian Horrwitz in Asia.
