Bag
"Blessed is the land that has no his
tory," is a modern proverb, the truth
of which is not likely to be contested,
says a writer in the London Telegraph;
and for the past few years lion mania
has acquired the right of considering
itself foremost among1 these privileged
countries. No political event of any
note has been chronicled here during
that time, and people mind or neglect
their own business as the spirit moves
them, without fuss or worry, leaving
their neighbors to do likewise. The
smooth course of this beneficial but
humdrum monotony was broken lately
by an occurrence, vouched for by a
well-informed journal of this city,
which, if not precisely calculated to
usher in far-reaching changes in the
phere of politics, is at least interest
ing enough, by reason of the light it
throws on economic questions general
ly and on the ethics of strikes in par
ticular. Incredible as it mnv appear.
the strike on this occasion was planned
and carried on by the Guild of
lieggarsi It should be premised, how
ever, in order to understand the feasi
bility of such a seemingly mad notion,
that the largest contingent of mendi
cants in this happv kingdom is fur
nished by unregenerate gypsies, who
are as black, uncivilized and isolated
here as they were in their native land
long centuries ago. They are a very
clever people, who can turn their
hands to almost anvthintr, and can
turn almost anything toward their
hands; so that it is considered some
what of a concession to the needs of
society on their part that they humbly
beg lor what they might easily appro
priate if they had a mind to. Mow,
one of the finest streets in all Buchar
est is the Calea Vittoriei. which ex
tends the entire length of the city,
from the Dimbovitza quay to the Kis
seleff road. It boasts two churches,
one theater, several hotels, govern
ment offices, the royal palace, the prin
cipal clubs and the most attractive
shops, the boulevards being situated on
either side of the street.
This fashionable thoroughfare was
the favorite beat of the beggars, some
of whom are known to have "made a
fortune and retired from the business,"
as r rencn auveriisements put it, in a
few years. The street literally
swarmed with them of late, and their
number went on increasing. You
could not go to your hotel, take a glass
of wine in a restaurant or enter a
church or theater without running the
gauntlet of a score or more of impor
tunate beggars. People at last began
to complain, and the prefect of the po
lice admitted that it was an eyesore
which must at all costs be removed.
He therefore issued an order peremp
torily prohibiting beggars from "ply
ing their calling'' in Calea Vittoriei or
any of the streets which intersect it.
The members of the indignant frater
nity at once put their heads together
and resolved to strike, and for twenty
four hours there was not a beggar to
le seen or heard in Bucharest, and
great was the consequent joy of the
dwellers in the west end of this capital
thereat.
Meanwhile one rf the guild called on
the prefect and requested nn audience,
which was grunted then and there,
lie explained that his brethren had
sent him to express their regret that
any such ill-advised im-usuro Mioulil
have lieen taken aguinst tliem, seeing
that they were so popular with the
wealthy classes, "licsides, if we are
not allowed to take up our old position
in the Callea Vittoriei," he uddod, "we
shall feel compelled to continue to
atrike. " Tlti.i threat tickled the fanev
of the police prefect, who Itrttglied out
right and Kiiid: "Then strike n way,
my good rutin! You will all the sonrn-r
tieeoine prulitable liifluh.-tfl of hociety."
' It's now that we arc useful tiiemlH-rs
of society," rejoined the Kpuliesinan of
the Hicndleants. "livery gentleman
and lady who gives us a ley (tenpenee)
or a few bntiis (n ban! is a tenth part
or a M-n:iyi n-eis insured, us it were,
ngain'-t tenfold losses in other ways.
Your own policemen will confirm what
I say. You understand tin. We can
pull through nicely enough without
alma. iod be praised, but it will lx a
positive lowi to the almsgiving classes
if we go out on a strike. We can turn
our bunds to other things without uny
painful efforts. Itcllcvc inc. I am act
ing In the intercuts of society." The
prefect all at once became thoughtful,
and. dismissing the eloquent ndvociite!
of the poor, wild lie would give the
matter his careful consideration. And
he fulfilled his promise, for Id-fore the
shades ,f nlirht had f.illen the police
reHirtcd a large inimWr of complaint
lodged by private individuals, whose
watches, gold chains, silver, htitnlUer
chiefs and tilled purse Imd been ale
strsscted. they knew not by whom,
how or where. A du..ling light is said
t- have dnwricd umhi the prefect's
mind, arid cnely the next morning the
chief of the g; ey beggar received all
intimation thut tin ir letiiuiiis would
m complied with, arid that the sooner
they returned to "work" the U-ttcr.
Sines then people give alms in the
time-honored way and have no further
losses to comjiliiln of. A liegj'ars'
strike might iM.sf.ibly ! a lKori In
other count ties, but in llomnanla It
would prove a terrible calamity.
ANNOUNCING A KINO'S DEATH.

Boar.b, the Ul fry kpr, tayt

have received a broad hint that the king
was near his end, and waited about
until he received the news that all
was over, when with haste he repaired
to the deanery, arousing the inmates
by ringing the bell at the cloister en
trance with all his might and main. It
was useless for the butler to ask him,
"What do you want here at this time of
night?" His business was with the
dean and no one else. This distin
guished person, aroused from his slum
bers and clad, not in his surplice, but
in another garment which should be
"always white," called from the top of
the stairs: "What is the matter. Roach?"
"Billy be dead. Be I to ring the bell?"
"What Billy?" "The king, to be sure."
"Oh, yes, Roach; you may toll the bell."
Thus was the news spread that the
king was dead, and that the young
Princess Victoria was queen.
STAIRS IN SAMOA.
Bow a Little Islander Carried H ater to a
Serond-Story Room.
In Samoa, where he makes his home,
Robert Louis Stevenson has done much
in the way of instructing the natives
in European methods of work. He
tells an amusing story in this connec
tion. A new house boy had been en
gaged, and on his arrival was lost in
awe and admiration of the magnifi
cence of the mansion.
He was given a large bucket of wa
ter and told to take it to the bedroom
up above, ne looked up and, point
ing, asked if it was there. On being
answered in the affirmative, he seized
the bucket in his teeth, and before
anyone could remonstrate he had
rushed up one of the posts of the
veranda. The whole family ran up the
Btaircase, and when they showed him
that that was the usual method of get
ting to these rooms, he was overpow
ered with delight, and for two or three
days could do absolutely nothing but
race up and downstairs, chuckling
and crowing in an ecstasy of joy. And
when detachments of his friends came
to visit him they were always taken to
see the stairs the first thing.
A Diverting Decision. '
The mayor of Folkestone, England, is
also a committing magistrate, and some
years ago, when Mr. Baker occupied
that responsible position, his decisions
were always honest, but highly divert
ing. One day a boy was brought be
fore his honor on the charge of steal
ing gooseberries. Baker turned over
the pages of Burns' "Justice," but not
being able so find the article he want
ed in the book, which is alphabetical
ly arranged, he lifted up his spectacles
and addressed the culprit thus: "Mv
lad, it's very lucky for you that, in
stead or stealing goose berrios, you were
not brought here for stealing a goose.
There is a statute against stealing
geese, but I can't find anything about
gooseberries in this book. So, let the
prisoner be discharged, for I suppose it
is no offense." And so the culprit es
caped to his joy and the extreme delight
of the audience.

Dramatic effects are hazardous agen
cies to use, as it is not impossible to
spoil them by an anti-climaxas a
member of the English parliament
found when, at the close of a fiery ad
juration to the government to declare
war, he cried out: "Unsheath the
sword!" and, drawing a dngger, threw
it on the floor. "Ah!" coolly said an
opponent; "there is the knife, but
where is the fork?" A shout of laugh
ter was the result.
BISMARCK'S MORTGAGES.
The I'.i-Chnneelliir Devoting; 933,000 a
Ycur tn the Liquidation of Ilnltt.
Nobody in (icrmany has felt the evil
effects of the agricultural depression
more keenly than has Bismarck. To
persons who have read of the mugnifi
cent pp.'H'tit.s given to Bismarck by the
old emperor it has been a surprise to
leiirn recently that his estates are
heavily m.i. eil. His present from

been oi.liifed to Hell when times were
hard. The money value of the gift
was some f too.OOO. Bismarck is also a
distiller, forester arid the owner of a
lurjre brick yard. Despite all these ad
vantage., however, nay a a writer in th
Home Journal, he has found it impost!
ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to
about S7.'.tl,iKX), which have liicuiiilicred
his estates for many years. Of his
gross Income more than t'Vl,(v) must
Is- devoted every year to paying the in
tcrcst on his debts. The burden la not
agreeable to the obi chancellor, and he
hns often remarked to his friends re
ccntly that his ambition to leave an

would never lie gratified.

value to society and to civil affairs of
these colleges of the people. We have
more colleges and universities than
can be supported without frequent en

never lacking in patronage.
WHAT A FLIRT IS.
A Word Which Has a Queer English
Derivation.
I remember a long time ago hearing
a singular definition of a term very
well understood by most oi us, given
by an old Scotchman, who spoke with
a strong accent. "What's a flirt?" said
he. "A man who proposes and is re
fused." How he came to be in such a
state of benighted ignorance is more
than I can say, but so it was, and I am
reminded of the story by seeing in a
book that the verb "to flirt" means "to
move to and fro with a pert motion, as,
to flirt a fan." The fan being used for
coquetting, those who coquetted were
called "fan flirts." Lady Frances Shel
ley introduced the word.
While on this subject, says a writer
in the New York Journal, I should like
to mention, as the result of observa
tion, that flirts are born, not made,
and that unless the faculty comes by
nature, it is not very much use to try
and acquire it, because not only does
the effort recall sometimes the at
tempted gambols of a cow, which only
draw attention to the natural heavi
ness and solemnity of the animal, but
it is as likely as not that in putting on
a manner and "ways" that are not con
sonant with one's temperament, one
may make hideous mistakes, just as
when a very shy person tries to be cool
and assured in bearing it happens
often that the coolness stems like
rudeness, and the assurance like inso
lence. I don't believe we can really
alter our natural selves even external
ly, any more than we can change our
physical appearance much without its
being fount! out. It Is the "ass in the
lion's skin," after all.

Victoria Said to Take an Active and nn
eflcent I'art In l'olillo Affair.
A corner of the veil which screens
the Inner life of royalty from the com
mon gaze was raised the other day by
Mr. Kentoul, M. P., at a meeting of la
dies in support of the women's suffrage
movement, says the Westminster (ia
zette. Mr. Kentoul said his idea had
always been that the queen was a
merely ornamental sort of personage,
who signed such documents as were
submitted by her ministers, and was
restrained from doing any harm by
constitutional safeguard. Hu had,
however, recently made the acquaint
ance of two lords in waiting, who have
been in attendance on her majesty for
many years, and the Information he
had obtained from this source hail com
plctely altered his views as to the in
fluence exercised by the queen In mat
ters of domestic and foreign policy,
He had learned that she is proficient in
eleven European languages, anil that
she has during the last four or five
years completely mastered Ilindus-
tanee, in which Mie converses with
great correctness ami fluency with any
of her Indian subjects who are pre'

ly writes to every important sovereign
in Europe, anil her influence on the
aide of peace is said to have been very
beneficial, her knowledge of foreign af-

At several critical stages in the rela
tions between European nations the
queen's personal influence has been suc
cessfully exerted to prevent war. It is
even alleged in court circles that her
majesty would have been able to pre
vent the Franco-Prussian war if
Emperor Louis Napoleon had not pre
cipitated hostilities on the Rhine be
fore any opportunity was afforded for
mediation. ,
SPENT MUCH MONEY.
The Children of a Vienna Banker Who Had
Money to Hum uml llurned It.
Princess Ypsilanti, who died in Vi
enna a few days ago, belonged to one
of the oldest families in Austria and
was born in Vienna March 12, 1815.
Her father was the late Baron Simon
Sina von Ilodos und Kizdia, and her
mother a member of the famous Rou
manian family of Ghika. Baron
Sina was the son of George Sina. the
wealthiest banker in Vienna. Baron
Sina received on his father's death
90,000,000 florins, or 845,000,000. This
immense sum was divided on the death
of Baron Sina between his three daugh
ters, each receiving nearly 815,000,000.
One of the daughters married George
Mavrocordato, a member of one of the
noblest families of Greece. The second
married the spendthrift Due de Cas
tries, a relative of the late Marshal Mc
Mahon, of France.
The third daughter, llelene, Novem
ber 211, 1H03, when sho was but 17 years
old, married Prince Gregory Ypsilanti,
a native of Epirus and son of Deme
trius Ypsilanti, whose valorous deeds
during the Greek revolution made the
name of Ypsilanti famous throughout
the world. During the siege of the
city of Natiplia, Demetrius, with a
small body of Greeks, one night sailed
forth and attacked the enemy, creating
such terror among the Turks that they
raised the kilIIv the next dnv.

lie wasanwin of independent means,
aside from the great fortune brought
to bun by his wife, and served his coun
try for honor alone, refusing all com
pensation for his duties as its diplo
matic representative in Austria.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti died in Paris
on February 20, 18M0, and was succeeded
as head of his family by his eldest son.
Prince Lmmaniiel, who is now a lad of
10. Three weeks after his death the
bankruptcy of the princess was an
nounced, to the tiiiKizeinent of the aris
tocratic circles of Vienna and Athens.
Prince Gregory had been a man of ap
parently quiet and retiring disposition,
but he and his wife had managed to
get rid of 8:.'.r.,ooo,ooo in ten years, and
the widowed princess found herself

The little insect popularly called the
death watch or tick is a limber-boring
insect which usually commences its
sound late In the spring, and is no,
other than the call by which the male
anil female are led to each other, the
saint) as with birds during the mating
season. The sound they emit is not
owing to the voice of the insect but to
its beating on or striking any hard
substance with the shield or fore part
of its head. The prevailing number of
htrokes are from seven to nine and
eleven, and It is this circumstance
which probably adds to the ominous
character it bears among ignorant and
superstitious persons.
Clerical l'reaxnce of Mind.
An English paper tells a good story
of clerical presence of mind. A curate
who had entered the pulpit provided
with one of tint late Kcv. ( harles Brad
ley's most recent homilies, was for a
moment horror-struck at the sight of
Kcv. Charles Bradley himself In a pew
beneiit h him. Immediately, however,
lie recovered enough self-possession to
be able to say: "Tim beautiful sermon
I'm about to preach Is by ICcv. ( harles
Bradley, who I'm glad to see in good
) health among its assembled here."
