it to bear upon the work of the school

very small for the time Of year. There
surely are more children in that neigh

Home Life in Burmah

Living as they do, the Burmese can
not have much of home life. The
houses of the great majority are more
like tents than any thing else. They
are made of plated bamboo walls
thatched with palm leaves, which are
pinned to rafters of bamboo the size of
fishing poles. The most of the houses
are of one story, and this is built upon
piles so high above the ground that
you can walk under the floor without
STOPPING. Under the house the live
stock of the family is kept. and there
is sometimes a work-room inside this
lower foundation. The house has no
furniture in an American sense; the
family sleep upon mats, and they keep
their heads off the floor by resting
them upon bamboo pillows. Still they
are wonderfully civilized, considering
their surroundings. They are the
kindest and most manly people have
met since leaving Japan, and their
women are bright, intelligent, and. in
the cases of the younger ones, beauti-
full. Frank Carpenter, in Cleveland

One Hundred Years Ago.

There were no express companies
then. In 1870 William F. Harndon, of
Boston. at the suggestion of some
friends, advertised that he would make
regular trips as a messenger between
Boston and New York and would take
personal charge of such small pack
ages and orders as were entrusted to
him. He made his first trip March a
OF that year. AS a matter of business
and to secure the influence of the
press in the two cities. MIR. Harndon
brought news both ways in advance of
the mails. In 1910 an express was
put on the line via Norwich and Wor-
cester by P. B. Burke and Allen Ad-
ans, but the sole management of the
business soon passed into the hands of
Mr.. Adams. w. B. Dinsmore soon
joined Mr.. Adams and took charge of
the New York end of the line. In
1841 the Harndon company extended
its line to Philadelphia and Albany.
The same year a new line was started
by Henry Wells from Boston to the
West under the name of Wells & Co.
In 1849 the Adams" was extended to
California, and in 1852 the Wells line,
under the name of Wells. Fargo & Co.,
reached the Pacific coast. From this
small beginning has grown up a system
that has become as important and nec-

In fact, should the latter be discontin-

Waltzing Ostriches.

'Ostriches, like cattle, are liable to
stampede. said Cape Town man at
the Palace Hotel, .'but the funniest
thing they do is to waltz"
.How, pray, is that done?"
1.-The leader of the herd, generally
the old male ostrich. evidently thinks
that his followers should have some
diversion on long march from one
pasture to another, so he begins by
slowly turning round and round. In
five minutes the whole flock is doing
the same. and it is quite sight; their
long plumes waving in the wind until
they conclude to quit and go on their
way. Music. of course. has nothing
to do with their dancing."-San Fran.
