Of fixed habits and employment. Real

durancc of inevitable evils, and for en-

overcome, are the ends which education
has to attain. The power Of the body
over the mind is immense. Let the
power be called forth, let it be trained
and exercised, and vigor of mind and

homely, unpublished saying, that it is
better to wear out than to rust in; but
it tells a plain truth; rust consumes

young man will quietly look after

wants of wife is her companionship,

will help him fight; who will put her
lips to his ear and whisper words Of
counsel, and her hand to his heart and
impart new inspirations. All through

on to Pantenan, where we fell IN with
an old z aren, who gave rs = singular
account Of the religion Of his people.
Formerly, he said, the Karens had no
God-only book that they worshipped,
which was in o language they did not
understand; but their ancestors had
taught them to- 'look for . deliverer
from the far west, from the nation in
whose language the book was written"
This deliverance, we were told, came at
last with the missionaries, who had CIV
en- them written language and taught
them to worship the true God.
The garb of our informant was SIM
pie and picturesque A broad waist
cloth of white cotton bordered with
red fell below the knee, and Q loose
Jacket of corresponding color and
adornment nearly to the hips, while
about his we'll formed head was bound
a scarf woven with border OF bright
colors. and finished at the ends with .
long variegated fringe. This is the or
binary dress of the men. The women
wear scant petticoats woven in gray
stripes, and long jackets plentifully EN-.
broidered or ornamented with seeds and
shells: to which is added all the jew.
clry they can possibly obtain or manu-
facture from beads, wings of insects
and shells.
The house into which our new friend
invited us was bamboo cottage, erect
ed on bare poles about sixteen feet
from the ground. 1t contained but two
rooms, had neither chimney nor win
dow, only wide door, and was enter
ed by means of ladder that was
drawn in at night as protection
against thieves and wild beasts. These
primitive dwellings, we found every
where among the karens, and however
large the family, there were seldom
more than two rooms. Furniture there
was none save few cooking pots and
the mats that served both as seats and
beds; but nearly everywhere we found
one or more musical instruments-vcry
simple in construction, but giving out
wondrously sweet sounds; and the ma
tives all seem to possess both ear and
voice for singing.
We spent nearly two weeks in roam
ing among these hospitable villagers,
meeting always kindly greeting and
every accommodation the country af.
forded, though often compelled to leave
our boat and travel on foot through
the Jungle. On the return voyage it
was good fortune to reach Ootwan,
a village two days journey north of
Bassein, just in time to witness the
ceremonies Of Karen funeral As
we entered the settlement we heard
the sound of instruments and 1.-The peo-
pie making q noise" and we thought
of the rulers daughter raised by our
Lord from her brief sleep. Pressing
forward with the multitude, we learned
that it was the copyist Of the village

destitute Of printing presses-who was
dead, and every man, woman and child
seer.,ed interested and moved.-LIpin-
