BURMESE SOLDIERS.

A slovenIy Army in which Soldiers Re.
flu e TO be Disciplined.
With all his deficiencies, the Burmese
soldier has one advantage over disci-
plined troops. He requires no commits
sariat. and is ready for service at few
minutes notice, a few pounds of rice
and little g'aopi or fish-paste carried
on his person suffi ing for his very moo
est requirements. Not deficient in pluck,
cheerful and obedient. and patient un-
der physical hardship, it is found that
for sudden and short expeditions, to
chase rebels or to punish freebooters. he
is second to none. There were reason
able hopes, therefore, of making him
thoroughly efficient: but, in spite of
every effort, the experiment had to be
abandoned. The Burman is impractic-
cable a regards routine and disci-
pline. Drill is simply Odious to HIM
after the novelty wears off; an incorri-
gible slOven, ne can not understand the
necessity of keeping mis- arms and &C
coutrements clean and In serviceabls
condition. Marching TO and fro on SEN
try is to him simply ridiculous; he can
not be reconciled to the loss of his che
root, even when guarding a powder
magazine; and night, as he sagely re-
marks. being allotted by an all-wise
Providence as the time for sleep. he
does not understand why he should then
remain awake, even in cases where ex-
ira vigilance is required. Allowing the
widest margin, it is doubtful whether
Theebaw could collect more than thirty
thousand muskets. One third of these
are more or less arms of precision, such
as Remingtons and Sniders, while the
rest are of the Brown Bess" pattern.
nearly all of which are unserviceable,
and dangerous only to those who fire
them of. To sum up, the Burmese army
can not be relied on TO deal successfully
even with filibustering enterprises, such
as that which resulted in the capture Of
Bhamo, and would be altogether power
less against disciplined troops armed
with breech-loaders. So if the mandate
goes forth to make Upper and Lower
Burmah politically one country, as they
are now one geographically, il might be
carried out by military promenade,
with little or no bloodshed so far as the
results of collisions between the troops
of the two States are concerned.-Na-

IMITATION ROSEWOOD.
The Effect OF Hypermanga te Of Potassa
Upon Wood Fibers.

upon HoOh FlDerSs
Various methods have been devised
for treating the surface of certain woods
so as to produce the most perfect imita-
tons possible Of rosewood. walnut, etc.
but some of the most attractive work in
this line is effected by simply spreading
on the surface Of the material a concen-
trated solution of hypermangate of po-
tassa, this being allowed TO act until the
desired shade is obtained Five min
uteS suffice ordinarily to give a deep
color-few trials indicating the proper
proportions. The hypermangate of po-
tassa is decomposed by the vegetable
fibers with the precipitation of brown
paroxide of manganese, which the infu-
ence of the potassa, at the same time
set free, fixes in a durable manner on
the fibers. When the action is termin-
ated the wood is carefully washed with
water, dried, and then oiled and pol
ished in the usual manner. The effect
produced by this process in several
woods is really remarkable. On the
cherry, especially, it develops beaut-
full red color which resists well the
action Of air and ighL-Christidn at

RELIGIONS OF JAPAN.


Seven Happy Gods.
Shintoism, religion of nature, waa
for hundreds of years the only religion
of the japanese. Its temples, as seen in
pictures, were but shanties covered with
grass. They had no stone or wooden
idols. The mirror was an object of great
reverence, because, / suppose, they
could see themselves in it, and they
thought as much of themselves as of
anything else in the world. Such per-
sons still live and are confined to no
special country. They defied the forces
of nature. Raiden, the god of thunder.
lived in the clouds and beat his string of
drums. Futen, the god of the winds, is
pictured with large inflated bag on the
back of his neck, both ends of which he
firmly grasps. When he relaxes his
grasp the wind escapes, and there is q
storm, and when he tightens his hold, 8
calm follows.
The Seven Happy gods in the pictures
are an interesting company. Fukoruku
jim, the God of long life, has forehead
SO high that barber, TO shave the top
of his head, must climb up on ladder.
1t takes good deal of brains to counter
act diseases and keep people in health,
so as to insure long life. Diakoku, the
rice god, sits on a throne of rice bags
and pets the rat, the very animal that
DESTROYS his rice. So like some men
who love the sins which wreck their
fortunes and souls Hotel, the god of
contentment, is very fat and SO slOvenly
that he is always unfit for company
a proof that the japanese had low
idea of happiness. Bishamon is
the patron of fame and glory, and
his pet animal is the tiger. Men who
seek military fame and glory must Guilt
vate tiger-like ferocity. Ebisu is the
patron of daily food, and spends much
of his time fishing. which he, like some
terrestrials, greatly enjoys. He is noted
for his patience, which is proved by the
fact that he can stand knee-deep in
water for two hours waiting for a nib
ble The only one of the seven who
never lays aside his dignity is Toshi-
toku, the patron of talents. His pet
animal is a spotted fawn, and be travels
around a good deal for the purpose of
rewarding boys and girls who study
their lessons. He knows that talent can
not afford to dispense with work. Among
them is one woman, Betten by name.
She Is queen of the world under the sea
and lives in ocean caverns, and spends
her time playing the flute and guitar.
The snake, strange TO say, is her pet ami
NAL. and the dragons are her servants.
These seven Jolly gods meet once n
year to hold feast and arrange the
marriages for the coming year. They
have great many skeins of red and
white silk, which are the threads of
fate of those TO be married. The white
threads are the men, the red the women.
At first they select the threads very
carefully, so that good matches are
made. BY and BY they get tired and
lazy, huddle up their work and tumble
the threads together carelessly. This
is the reason of SO many unhappy mar
riages." A visit TO some of our divorce
courts would convince japanese that
these gods are law, careless set in
this climate Chicago Standard.

COMMISSIONER SpARKs.-It will
please everybody except the land
grabbers that the recent report that
Commissioner Sparks Of the General
Land Office had been requested to re-
sign was unfounded. The rumor
was doubtless based upon the fact
that one Of his decisions had been
overruled by the Secretary OF the In
terior-by no means an uncommon
occurrence or one which reflects dis
credit upon the Commissioner. Mr..
Sparks, since he entered upon the
discharge Of the duties OF his office,
has endcavored to purge it Of the
abuses which existed prior to his APP
pointment, and has certainly evinced
a spirit of fearlessness in his action
which should command the respect of
all, and especially those honestly in
terested in land matters as actual
settlers. He has been Jealous in the
work Of purifying his Department OF
the corruption with which it has been
reeking for years. and Of protecting
the interests of the people in their
rights against the Vaccinations OF
home corporations and foreign syn
dictates by which, through the carless-
ness or corruption Of several admins
trations, the citizens of the Nation
have been robbed of such large por-
tions of their lawful heritage
Through the vigorous measures OF the
Commissioner the plans Of these lane
monopolists have been thwarted, anc
the vindictiveness with which he has
been assaulted by their subsidized or
gans is conclusive proof of his honesty
J of purpose, ability and general fitness
for the position.-[Salt Lake Demo

Fessenden, of Connecticut, secretary
of the republican national committe,
was in the city day or two ago.
When asked about politics, he said;
"It looks very Blanish. There does
not seem to be anybody else. He
can get the Irish vote and the labor
vote as no other man. The tide in
his favor in the party seems to be
stronger than ever. The failure OF
Cleveland's administration has made
Blaine strong. The administration
has gone all to pieces since Manning
was taken sick. There is no admins

where, to hold votes away from Blaine
in the national convection. He will
get large vote from the South, and
he will get many more votes from
