HOME LIFE OF THE suamANs.

hut Little Furniture in Their Homes
Culinary Arrangsment-Food-
lst Louis Globe Democrat.
The Orientals have not the same ideas
as TO home snd comfort that are pos
eessed by western nations, but seem
quite content with what they have,
Thoir furniture. house appointments
and manner of life are thus depicted:
Always sitting and sleeping on mats,
the Burmans have little furniture in
their houses. Officials and head men
generally have a table and a chair OF
to two to produce on the visit of an Eu-
ropean, and in some houses there is at
one end of the veranda a large wooden
couch or divan, which is used as a
lounge or as a strangers sleeping place.
& OCCASIONALLY. in a native house, n Bur
man may be seen sitting on n chair, but
then he has his heels up on the seat
and in the courts in u province, pre-
sided over by native magistrates, in
which the use of a chair and table is
imperitiye, they may often be caught
in a similar easy position. Their heds
consist of a mattress made Of wild cot
ton, spread on a mat, with rugs OF
strong cotton woven in the country,
mus luito curtains of the same.
The culinary utensils consist OF
round earthen pots, and the meal is
served in a large, round lacquered
wooden tray, the rice being heaped up
on it, and the different curries and con
diments contained in small cups are
basins of European crockery. Some
times among the poorer classes a large
wash-hand basin forms the rice bowl
rhe better class use a large lacquered
three-legged tray, which answers as a
able, on which tho rice and cups are
placed, and ronnd which all sit dipping
their fingers into the same dish accord
ing to eastern custom. The cooking is
not Of the most savory kind to our
taste, the different ~curries, whether OF
flesh fowl, fish or vegetable, being little
better than tasteless stews, deriving
any piquancy in eating from the
pounded nga-pee and chillies, which
forms the invariahle condiment of every
meal as salt does with us. Ega-pee
means simply pounded fish, and differs
in quality. from the best, made OF
shrimps, being the same as the balachong
of the Malay straits, a kind of shrimp
paste, to the rankest filth used by the
mass of the population.
This latter is really fish il a certain
state OF decomposition. pounded up into
a mass with coarse salt, rendering in its
preparation the fishing villages per ect-
ly unbearable to an European. Yet the
favorers Of this high relish find the smell
of an English cheese disagreeable. The
chief article of food among all classes
being plain boiled rice, a highly favored
condiment of ONE sort is required to
counteract its natural insipidity, and
perhaps Its bad effects on the stomach,
when eaten in such quantities, often
cold, as a Burman will get through at q
meal

AN FACT.
Cheyenne VIII Have a First-Ciass
Depot.


Manager Galloway, of the Union Pacific
railway, was interviewed at length by a
reporter Of the Omaha Herald on Satur-
day. In the interview he says that a new
depot has been ordered at Cheyenne.
General Traffic Manager Kimball passed
through Cheyenne on Saturday on his
way to Denver, and he said to the officials
hero hat not only was the depot ordered,
but that work would begin as soon as pos
sible. The location Of the new depot is
said to be directly north of the old struc-
ture and on n line with the hotel building.
The plan contemplates the location Of the
Offices on the second floor, leaving the
frst floor free for waiting rooms. ticket
Offices, baggage room, and other subdivis-
ions. The material used will lie pressed
brick, with terra Gotta trimmings, making
an elegant structure surmounted by an
ornamental clock tower. This structure,
the work upon which will commence at
an early day. will cost $4,000. and not
$50, 600 as enormously stated. Mr.. Kim
ball asked how the news had been re-
ceived at Cheyenne, and being told that
it was taken with a large measure Of
doubt, he said that it was not surprising
that it was so received, but that this time
it was n dead sure thing and the depot
will be built.

Official changes has been a topic OF
discussion during the week. The
local Democracy does not seem to
have that influence with the powers
that was hoped for. In politics, as
well as mechanics, both the power and
the fulcrum are needed to move things
There is a condition of things that
does not fulfil the Democratic idea
the Democrats, themselves, being the
judges. For the last six months there
has been disposition amongst weak.
kneed Republicans to look towards the
Democratic party, allured by the pros.
poets of party success, political influ.
ence or the hope of Office, but all pros.
poets of a stampede from the Republi.
can ranks have been destroyed by the
apparent determination of the Demo.
cratic leaders to ignore the existence
of our local men altogether. For, if
prominent and faithful Democratic
residents are going to be passed by,
fresh converts from the Republican
ranks need not apply. Furthermore,
hithertoo faithful Democrats will
have all they can do now to defend
their party, against the undemocratic
practice of filling offices with nonresi.
dents.

The dairymen's convention at Moor.
head last week was largely attended
and very successful. It's influence,
we trust will be felt throughout the
valley in awakening deeper interest
inthe butter making industry. There
were present many oflarge experience
in the dairy business and much useful
information ELECTED. 1t was strongly
insisted upon by those who have had
experience that butter making in
Minnesota and Dakota is destined to
be profitable industry. The remarks
of Hon. w. G. LeDue were worthy of
attention. He said: Minnesota oc.
cupies the most favorable position of
any state for vigorous and healthful
development Of animal life, and most
favorably situated for commercial
communication with the entire con.
tinent. The peculiarities of location,
climate and soil warrant the assertion
that Minnesota is and ever will be the
lead of all the world in the manufac.
ture of butter and cheese. 1t is
watered with regular distribution Of
moisture throughout the whole year
by an average of forty to fifty inches
of rain, which is extremely favorable
for the production of grass and grain
and animal life, and makes it the most
favored place on earth for the produc.
ton of the highest type of domestic
animals, as well as of men,
women and children. 1t is said that
all flesh is grass. So we may say as
well that milk, butter and cheese are
grass. Grass is the important thing
in connection with dairying, and Min.
nesota soil is most favorable for the
growing of rich grasses. Each varie.
ty has its peculiarities of soil and elm.
ate where it best fourishes. Timothy,
red top. blue grass, orchard grass fescue
are among the artificial or leguminous
grasses, and all will flourish in the
highest degree in the calcarious soil,
blessed with abundance Of sunshine
and moisture; and this is the soil Min.
nesota offers to the dairyman. Eng.
land and Ireland are famed for their
production of grass, but as compared
with Minnesota or Wisconsin, or Da-
kota or Manitoba grasses it will he
found deficient in quality.
