BURMESE HOUSEKEEPING.
The Primitive Utensils Used In the Kitchens
of Burmah.


The dwellings of the Burmese are
built on small wood or bamboo posts;
of bamboo mat walls; roofs of palm
leaves or dried grass;each house has front
veranda, closed only at the ends, if at
all; the door from one to three feet
from the ground, made of rough boards
or bamboos. Then the main or Sleep
ing room is from four to six feet higher
than the veranda, with its floor from
seven to ten feet above the ground. The
veranda is the place of cooking, eating,
visiting, buy ing and selling. But you
would look in vain for stove, oven, fire.
place or chimney. A bed of earth or
ashes, in one end of the veranda,
is the center of the kitchen; large jar
of water, two or three small earthern
pots for cooking, one for rice and the
other for some kind of curry, are usu-
ally sufficient; a water dipper made of
cocoanut shell, wooden ladle for the
rice pot, a broad wooden platter in
which to put the rice when cooked, and
around which the family squat to eat,
with one or two brass or iron spoons for
the curry, with perhaps two or three
earthern dishes, constitute the furniture
of the kitchen. Tables, spoons, knives,
forks, cups and saucers, etc, were not
seen among them Chicago Interior.

A CALCULATING MACHINE.
A Continuance that Effects the Most Com
plicated Calculations.


The calculating machine invented by
Prof. Thompson appears to excel, in its
ingenious adaptation to variety of re-
suits, even Babbage's wonderful appa.
ratus. By means of the mere friction
of disk, a cylinder and ball the ma
chine is capable of effecting numerous
complicated calculations which occur in
the highest application of mathematics
to physical problems, and by its aid an
unskilled person may, in given time,
perform the work of ten expert mathe-
maticians. The machine is applicable
alike to the calculating of tidal, mag
netic, meteorological and other periodic
phenomena; it will solve differential
equations of the second or even higher
powers or orders; and, through the
same wonderful arrangement of me-
chanical parts, the problem of finding
the free motions of any number of mu.
tually attracting particles, unrestricted
by any of the approximate supposition:
required in the treatment of the lunar
and planetary theories, is done by simply
turning handle.-M Y. Sun.

The Savage Socialists,

CHICAGO, December 7.-Seventy-five
or a hundred representatives of the
Socialistic element of Chicago, held
their usual Sunday meeting to-day, and
occupied an hour or so in discussing
the need OF Socialism. Contrary to
the expectations OF good many people
in the city, Yesterdays dynamite sensa-
ton was not touched upon. Very few
inhammatory expressions were in
dulged in. There was large attend
ance at q mass meeting Of the Central
Labor Union held to-day, at which a
number of anarchists were present.
George SchiffIng delivered quite a
lengthy address on the advantages of
the eight-hOur system, and Paul Croft
ken, speaking on the same subject, took
occasion to refer TO anarchists as in
juring the chances of an eight-hour
law through their extreme views on
labor questions. Anarchists present
greeted this remark with misses, but
discussion as to the advisability of
turning them out of the meet
ing. Among others, the following rese-
luton was adopted:
ResOlved, That this meeting condemns
thehypocritical and unfriendly position
taken by Anarchists with regard to the
eight hour demand of the proletarians,
and in consequence, hindering the as-
complishment of proletarians.

The space reserved for visitors in the
Chamber was crowded long before the
hour appointed for the election The
streets in the vicinity were also thronged
with people. The proceedings in the
Chamber began at LIS, amid consider
able excitement. The president of the
national assembly was unable to restore
silence. Members of the right became
so turbulent that the president
threatened to suspend the sitting.
Members of the Right then asked for
time to speak before the vote was taken
and their request being refused, several
of them tried to gain the tribune. A
fight ensued between a member of the
left and one of the right. Several blows
were exchanged before the combatants
could be separated by their friends. A
lull in the demonstration then followed
and the ballOting took place.

THE GIRL AT THE FRONT GATE

Heaven bless the girl at the front
gate with peach bloom on her checks
and love light in her eyes. Men
would shut her out of our literature,
but am not one of them. The girl
at the front gate can never grow old
to those who have been there with
her. Years may come and go, but
the music of the low voice at the
front gate will not be stiIled and the
memory of the cherry lips we kissed
at the front gate will hold outfaithful
to the end. What if the old gate does
sag and its hinges rattle and its latch
refuse to hold its shut What if the
posts are shaky and some of it's pick
cts gone Why love the dear old rel
ic still. Why love it for the sake of
the girl who used to stand out there
by it with roses on her cheeks and
nectar on her lips. We held the old
gate up and counted the stars and
bid goodby and then counted the
stars again. How many times Of Il
night was gocdby said How many
times did lips meet DER the old dear
gate The old gate knows, but it
will never tell. The old front gate
may have counted the kisses, but |
never did. And what of the girl
with the peach bloom cheeks? All,
me She married another. She for
got her VOWS at the old front Igate, as
some girls will, and married richer
and handsomor man. And [? Well,
| went off to another front gate where
there were other peach bloom cheeks
and other lips as sweet and Just as
many stars to count. And now |
have front gate Of my own and
girl of my own with peach bloom
cheeks who count the stars with the
boy of the girl whose VOWS made with
me at the first front gate were brok-
en-. But he is true, good boy, and
my girl is a good, true girl, and heav-
en- bless them both as they stand to-
night at the old front gate.-St. Louis

BLuFFING A WAITER.

AS we got into South Carolina we
were joined by a judge from Pitts
burgh. | forgot just what court he
was judge of, but he had been travel
ing South for his health, and had
just figured up that lie had paid out
$50 in fees to walters, and was mad
all the way through. He vowed by
his badness that he wouldn't pay
out another red cent, and we encour-
aged him as hard as we could. When
we went up to the hotel the landlord
gave us a big room with three beds
in it. A big negro brought up the
trunks, and when he was ready to 20
the Judge called to him and began:
"Colored person, stand up. Now
l want to say to you that | shall ex-
pect prompt service without fees.
You have brought up my trunk;

want fire, and | shall probably ask
You to so off errands; but if you
even look fees at me I'll throw YOU

We were there two days, and the
waiter was yigilant, humble and will

the morning of the third, in comes a
constable with warrant to arrest
the Judge for threats Of personal vio-
lence. 1t had been sworn out before
a justice ten miles away, and the
complainant was the negro waiter.
1t took the two of us to hold the
Judge down on his back during his
first paroxysm, and when he had
cooled off a little the negro slipped
into the room and said:

LOVE AND LAUGHTER.

Laugh, and the world laughs with You
Weep and you weep alone;
For this brave old earth must borrow its
mirth
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost in the air;
The echoes bound to IA joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Greve, and they turn and 90
They want full measure for all your
pleasure,
But do not want your woe
BE glad, and Your friends are many
BE sad, and you lose them all
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall
Feast, and your halls are crowded
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give and it helps you to
live,
But no man can help you to die
There's room in the halls of pleasure,
For long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Though the reputation of men of

growth, their true qualities cannot
be wholly concealed. They may be

THE BEAUTIFUL CIRCASSIAN.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is now in Wheeling the only
Circassian who ever became a natur
allied American. Born in Caucasus.
he was at a tender age torn from his
home and people by the Russians,
baptized into the Greek Church, and
educated for a military career. AT
his baptism he received the name of
Paul Nicholadse, which he still uses,
because his Circassian name is scarce
ly pronOnceable for English tongues.
He is 80 years old, though he does
not look 40. He is distinguished
looking gentleman.
| asked Mr.. Nicholadse the other
day about the Circassian women.
Are they as beautiful as we are led
to suppose p
''Yes, SIR said he, "nearly all are.
They have creamy complications, with
delicate red tints on their cheeks.
rounded shoulders and beautiful
neeks, very small waists, beautiful
busts, and faultless forms. You
should see their arms, which are bare
in house costume. You never saw
such arms in picture Their haii
is long, and is always black, or very
dark, and blue eyes. Just think Of
that picturel '
'Then the Circassian beauties We
see in the dime museums are all i'm.
postor."
"Sure. There are no women in
this country like them. They have
fresh beauty of childhood with wo-
mans form. You know they devel-
op quickly. Mothers u years old
are in my country. A girl is as old
there at II as she is here at 20.
Most women are grandmothers at 30.
Then they decay as quickly, They
live long lives, hut they lose their
rounded forms. Still they are some
times attractive in old age.
"When a girl is born soft leather
corset is sewed around her waist, and
that stays there until she is married
Then it is cut off, and her waist re-
mains small and a beautiful shape.
They have small, pretty feet, and
beautiful hands, too. That is looked
after as they grow up. They do no
hard work, and their feet are only
shod in loose sandals, with soft COW
ers and flexible soles.
'How do they dress!
"Their costume is very picturesque.
They wear loose silk trousers, which
reach to the knee and finely wrought
stockings. THEW only upper gar
ment is clOse-ftting sleeveless vest,
with skirts behind like a long coat,
and cut away in front, leaving small
triangular space above the corsage
without clothing. Undertaking is
unknown there and in all the East
ern countries"

500 Chinese landed, or l 400 more
