So many ol our American iarni

ous climates that a pood many
mothers will not think the outf-of-1

For as the children advance be-

need for constant rnnifjiinr and
climbing and niiinin; like little ani-

their hand.; increases and this is an
instinct which should be encour-

this way to handle buttons and hut-tim-lirdes
and to master the difficul-

SCENE OF RECENT
CROATIAN REVOLT
Fiurne Is Seaport of Great Activ
ity How Marvars Took It From
Croatia Surroundings Are Pic
turesque.
From Finnic come reports of
smoldering rebellion among the
Croatian people. The sudden re-
volt of the 7'Jth Regiment of Croat-
ian soldiers stationed at Fiurne must
be taken as an indication of'the way
the wind blows. It was brief enough
for three Austro-1 1 unitarian regi-
ments were hurried up from Al-
bania to crush it. Nevertheless
there was bitlty lighting in the
streets of the city before the upris-
ing subsided and scores of people
were killed. F.ven if it is nothing
more the unrest in Fiurne is an
other siL'mticant nroot that the
Croat ians are ripe for revolution.
Finnic of Rieka. as it is called i
the Croatian tongue has loner bee
a source of friction between th
Mae-vars and Croatian'. Alt hough
it was built on Croatian soil the
'Meed of the 1 1 unjrarians led them
to snatch it away from its owner
in 186S. The way in which they did
this was extraordinary. Some years
previous there had been an agree
ment between the Magyars am
Croats that Fiume should remain mi
i rr (..roa nan control lotrcmer wini
the rest of the Croatian territory
This irritated the Hungarian trad
ers who had begun to covet a port
on the Adriatic. Consequently th
Hungarian governor of Croali
boldly pasted a strip of paper over
the nart of the contract which re
lated to the city of Finnic and de
dared it a separate governmental
unit annexed to Hungary. This
document with the strip of paper
pasted over part of it. is still pre
served in the archives ot the Fin me
officials.
Many Jugoslavs in Population.
Today the government officials at
Fiume are Magyars and so are most
of the commercial people and ship-
owners. I!ut fully one-half of the
citv's population of lO.NUO are Croa-
tian and belong to the Jugoslav
race. There is also a large Italian
element which is prominent in
the city government.
Although Fiume is one of the
three important seaports of the
northern Adriatic (the other I wo are
Venice and Trieste) it is not a nat
ural harbor. L'p to the middle of
the last century it was only a .small
portion on a steep coast exposed to
all the gales. At enormous expense
an artificial harbor was construct-
ed and railroads were built to Za
greb liclgradc and Jiudapcst. 'The
city quickly became (ho port of ex-
port for the entire Panuoniaii plain
and also for northern Serbia. .
F"or twenty-five years Finnic has
been a flourishing commercial cen-
ter and the headquarters of several
large steamship companies. The
"Adria." which is subsidized by the
Hungarian 'government possessed
before the war 33 vessels w ith a '
tal tonnage of 41569 tons. They
served the trade between Finnic the
ports of the western Mediterranean
and South America. A smaller line
is the "L'ngaro-Croata" which had
a licet ot 4.1 packet-boats ( H.S.M
tons) plying between the local ports
on the Croatian anil Dalmatian
eoa-l. Finnic was also a port of
call for the Ciinard Fine boats sail-
ing between New York and Mediter-
ranean ports. There are also a num-
ber of large factories including that
of the Whitehead Torpedo Works
an l.uglish firm.
Surroundings Are Picturesque.
Finnic presents an appearance of
striking loveliness when approached
from l lie sea. L'.ehind it is the sleep
slope of the Trsat Mountain ami
on either sides are the Seaside re
sorts ol the (. roaiiau Kivicra wiin
their marble villas and tropical gar-
dens. To one of these watering
places. Opatia the Czar Nicholas
used frequently to come. At other
villages along the sunny shore arc
palaces belonging to the ( Icrmati
kaiser and to the emperor of Aus-
tria. Aside from its commercial im-
portance Fiume is a clean and mod
ern city. It lias a number ol statciv
public buildings including a Stock
xchange and a C hambes of Com
merce great wharves and piers a
fine city ball and a very old cath
oral. I here are several small pari:
and public squares and the princi
pal streets are broad and paved with
asphalt. I lie townspeople dress or
dinarily in plain luiropean garb but
on market davs the squares are Idler
with a sprinkling of gaily dressed
country people who come to bring
fruit green vegetables and' other
produce from the adjoining islands
and farms. There are Istrians
dressed in pinks and blues with
great shoulder-bags called "bisagi
containing cheese and fruits. There
are also Dalmatian wine and oi
who wear wide breeches blue vests
and small flat red caps with tassels.
I he harbor is usually dotted with
he plum-colored sails of the boats
lelonging to Italian fishermen who
catch great quantities of tuna-fUli
in the udiuiniiiir waters.
j Hehind Fiume separated from it
ouiy uy a tiny crecK is ine town oi
Susak peopled exclusively bv the
Jugoslavs There has always been
a certain amount of ill-feeling be
tween Fiume and the people of Su
sak although they really form one
continuous city Susak contains an
ancient church and a Franciscan
monastery. The latter is high up on
the side of (he Trsat Mountain and
is much visited as a shrine. It is
approached by a long flight of stairs
which arc continually being ascend-
ed by barefooted pilgrims some-
times on their kneeh. The Croatian
sailors have great faith ill this moun-
tain shrine and frequently go there
to make offerings after they have
had successful voyages-.
