PEOPLE.

Servia has been aptly described as the Ponant State of Europe. The Serb is a man of primitive emotions and simple tastes, for whom town life seems to have little or no attraction. With the excep tion of Belgrade there are few towns in Servia worthy of the name. Practically the whole population dwells on the land, husbandry and pig-rearing being the staple industries. A system of persant proprietorship prevails, and to this, and the frugality and industry of the people must be ascribed the fact that Servia has practically no poor. Every grown man in Servia can claim five acres of land from the Government, and this land and its produce are exempt from all for debt. The poorest man in Servia, therefore, has always five acres to his credit.
