THE GOLDEN PAGODA.
Graphic Description of One of Burmah
Famous structures.


Famous structures.
The Golden Pagoda of Rangoon
stands upon hill in the edge of the
town. About 170 feet up the hill has
been leveled off into a platform about
800 feet square. In the center of this
stands the main structure. 1t is octag-
onal ut its base, with diameter of over
450 feet. This runs in. by succession
of terraces or high steps, hundred or
more feet, giving tia bell-shape. From
the shoulder of this bell springs another
member, circular, also in the bell form,
but more steep; then another. On this
lifts tall, thin, four-sided lantern on
which rests the ''htee." or open work
metallic receptacle for sacred memen-
tos. This is then surrounded by half
open metallic umbrella The whole
height from the platform is $40 feet
Around the base are fifty-six small pa
godas about 30 feet high. The whole
of this vast structure is solid. OF we'll

plaster, and gilded from foundation to

The upper half is freshly gilt, the
scatfolding being removed while we
were there. AT distance the whole,
when the sun is sinking looks like n
mountain OF gold. The ''htee" is said
to be of solid gold and stud led with
real gems. 1t was erected by q late
king at cost Of $3.50 900. To repair

but the merit is relegated to the
original founder. But any repairs to
this pagoda and to three others in the
kingdom avails for merit to the re-
pairer. Around the platform are a
number of smaller pagodas, and many
chapels and "kyoungs," or temples fol

 Suddenly, as Col Quaritch was contem- plating these various views and rehecting that on the whole he had done we'll to come and live at Honham cottage, he was startled by loud voice saluting him from about twenty yards distance with such a peculiar vigor that he fairly jumped.
 ''Col. Quaritch, I believe" said, or rather shouted, the voice from somewhere down the drive.
 "Yes," answered the colonel mildly, "here am"
 "Ah, I thought 1t was you. Always tell 0 military man, you know. Excuse me, but l am resting for @ minute, this last pull is an uncommon1y stiff one. always used to tell my dear old friend, Mrs. Massey, that she ought to have the hill cut away bit just here. Well, here goes for it." and after a few heavy steps the visitor emerged from the shadow of the trees into the sunset light which was playing on the terrace before the house

He was 0 splendid man, broad and thick and strong, with keen, quick eye, and fIAce sharply chiseled and clean shaved, of the stamp which in novels is generally known as aristocratic, face that, in fact, showed both Dir tn and breed ing. Indeed, as clothed in loose tweed gar ments and gigantic pair of top boots, his visitor stood there, leaning on his long stick and resting himself after breastihg the hill, Harold Quaritch thought to himself that he had never seen a more perfect specimen of the typical English country gentleman-as the English country gentlemen used to be.

Delicate Cakes.

Silver cake, delicate cake, white mountain
loaf and lady cake-these, says Catherine
Owen, in Good Housekeeping. are called
sometimes by one name, sometimes by an
other, although it should be said that the
real lady cake is a pound cake made only
with white of eggs, but as generally met
with it is made by the following or similar
recipe:
White of six eggs, three cupfuls of -four, a
cupful of butter Tor half cupful if a less
rich cake is requireD, two cupfuls of sugar,
about cupful and half of milk, two full
teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted into the
-four. Beat butter and sugar to cream,
measure the milk, but use only enough of it
to make stiff batter, sift in flour and add
milk alternately; when quite smooth flavor
with almond, vanilla, orange flower water,
or the peel of a grated lemon, and few,
drops of extract of rose whichever may be
preferred. Now slip in the white of eggs
beaten till they will not slip from the dish.
If, when the eggs are in, the cake is too stiff.
as it most likely will be, add the rest of the
milk. Bake in two pans in a good oven for
forty-five minutes If large cake is de-
sired bake in one pan an hour and half

House Cleaning Hints.


Wide awake housekeepers are now planning
the annual spring house cleaning, with view
to accomplishing it without too great outlay
Of strength or money, and yet in thorough
fashion. Every one Of these ought to know
the labor saving merits Of good channels
skin.
1t stakes hold" of the dirt upon glass and
makes the cleaning of windows and mirrors
comparatively easy. Never use soap, but
add little ammonia, if anything, to the
clear water and wash with the channels
Then rinse the chamois in clean water wiring
it as dry as possible and use to wipe with. It
is easily done; the result is clear, shining
glass free from lint.
Much hard work may be spared, also wear
to paint, by saving tea leaves for several
days and then sleeping them for half an hour
in water and using the liquid in cleaning all
kinds of vanished paints. The liquid is q
strong detergent. It may be employed in
cleaning oilcloths. Do not apply it to unvar-
nished paint
Having beaten a carpet perfectly free from
dust and put it down again upon the floor,
the least unpleasant and quickest way to
freshen the colors is to wash off with soap
bark. Ok gall is efficacious, but disagree
able, for the purpose. Add a handful of
crushed soap bark to pailful of water. Take
special care to scrub out grease spots and
then wash or sponge off the whole carpet.
