W': thundering guns and superb fighting array an army in three columns is marching upon Constantinople. Were it not for grave considerations of policy the proud city of the | Bosphorus might be left to suffer another fall, and the shameful tradition of the Turkish conqueror riding his horse up the aisle of Saint Sophia be forever wiped out in the year 1912 A. D. Mean- while Europe and the rest of the world are gazing astounded upon this army of admirably trained soldiers in the pink of condition who @sive Turks before them like cattle. Is Bulgaria, then, a military power to be reckoned with—no Jenger to be patronized as a petty Balkan state? Europe is beginning te wonder just how many German or English troops it would take to hold their ground before these new soldiers. The Bulgarians are neither giante nor prodigies. The men aro mestly under-sized, though stocky and muscular. Heavy of jaw, with dark, oval faces and straight noses, they show the mixture of Slav and Tartar stock from which they come. Peasante, farmers, shepherds make up the bone and sinew of the nation. The upper lasses are distinotly weaker types. Seventy-four per cent. of the eatire population of over 4,000,000 are farmers. Extraordinarily robust, thrifty and long lived are the Bulgarians. Oentensrians are as common es huckleberries. The census shows nearly three thousand persons over one hundred years old. The young men marry before they are twenty-five, the girle before Standards of morality ere exceptionally high, especially in the country districts. The number of illegitimate births is almost negligitl®, averaging only one-tenth of one per cent. of the total. Merriage ceremonies are long, elaborete and deeply reverenced. Many couples elope, but usually after an understanding with the parents, to escape the expense of a wedding. The pessante carry thrift and eaving to the point of parsimony and frown upon the smallest display of wealth. Although the Bulgarians have the reputation of being reserved, taciturn, phlegmatic and by no means cordial toward foreigners, they are among themselves peaceable and orderly. The countless petty quarrels and knifings common among the southern peoples of Europe are quite unknown among the Bulgarians. While not as quick or intelligent as the Greeks, they are harder, more persevering workers. They live simply and on the whole temperately. Prof. Metchnikoff is said to have derived his celebrated theory of milk elements as aids te longevity from a study of Bulgarians and their diet. They enjoy themselves in primitive and pastoral ways. On Sundays and holidays they dance on the green to the strains of pipes and fiddies. Despite all the labore of the priests, many of them believe in witches, vampires and the evil eye. Remember thet before 1878 these country people had no educational system. The peasantry wes profoundly ignorant and the older people totally illiterate. The present echool system dates from 1891. Almost all the villages now heve compulsory public schools and there is a keen desire to learn. | Daring the summer months, howover, schools have to be closed in the rural districts eo that the children can work in the fields. In 1888 only 11 per cent. of the population could read and write. In 1901 the number had risen to 24 per cent. and the leter increase has been rapid. Over 3,000,000 of the population belong to the Ortho- @ox Christian faith. The Mohammedans come next with 640,000, Jyut these latter are said to be diminishing fast. In 1901 there wore 4,500 Protestants in the country, mostly Methodists, The history of the Bulgarians is a long record of race mixture, eemi-enslavement by aliens, strugglings of national spirit and final filled the Danube region with tribal, agricultural people. In the letter half of the, seventh century A. D. the Bulgars, a Turanian tace like the Tartare and Huns, swooped down in a wild horde of fierce, barbarous horseinefi, practicing polygamy, governed by eapot chiefs, During the next two centuries the conquerors, al though they gave their name to the country, adopted its language, customs and local institutions. Such, with subsequent lesser infu- sions of Greek, Turkish and other foreign strains, is the ancestry of the Bulgerians. In the ninth century the missionary monks, Cyril and Methodius, converted the country to Christianity. Struggles with the Byzantine emperors, momentary burete of prosperity and then a long, dark five centuries of fire and sword, gack end persecution under Turkish rule fill out the annals of Bul- garia down to 1878. The treaties of San Stefano and Berlin In that year gave the Bulgarians a kind of near-independence, with the “right to elect a prince subject to confirmation by the Sublime Porte. But Bulgaria determined to become as independent as Servia.. In 1885 Prince Ferdinand publicly proclaimed Bulgaria an independent kingdom. Turkey accepted an indemnity. The powers recognized Bulgerian independence. Since then these sturdy folk have been quietly and thriftily de- veloping their kingdom, saving their money and drilling their armics | until to-day they realize what has doubtless long been the dearest ambition of the national heart—to set a heavy foot on the neck of the Turk. So it goes. A few weeks ago these people were quietly ploughing their fields and milking their cattle in the sunny valleys of their beau- tiful mountain country. ery, and like a flash armies rise up and march, and the peaceful | valleys of the home country no less than the territories of the enemy are made hideous with din and trampling and devastation.
