SCHOOLS IN THE SHAN STATES.


Where Burmese Gods Are Sold to Curios-
ity Seekers.
The Shan States. as the country lying
between Burmah and China is called,
have been explored by Europeans late
| ly for the first time. In "A Thousand
Miles on an Elephant in the Shan
States" an English traveller, Mr.. IL.
Hallett, gives an account of the places
| where the Shan boys, or such of them
as are fortunate enough to receive any
instruction at all, go to school.
They are taught by the monks and
abbots of the Buddhist monasteries,
and sleep, with the acolytes and some
of the priests. in the rooms where they
are taught. The monasteries consist of
hall divided into two portions; one
part level with the veranda, where the
scholars are taught, and the other part,
| where the monks receive their visitors.
two feet above the rest of the bailding
In the larger buildings the monks
sleep in the clOisters; in the smaller
ones, their beds may be seen rolled up,
| with those of the acOlytes and school
boys, round their pillows against the
walls.
A conspicuous object in these halls is
the row of images of Buddha on raised
stand against the wall in the back
ground. Before them are offerings Of
taper candles, flowers and prayer-flags.
Perhaps the largest image is made of
alabaster, in which case it has been
carried a great distance, from the quar-.
ries in Burmah.
Standing about this image, or on a
lower shelf, will be other images, some
of wood or clay covered with gold leaf,
some of silver having a core of hard
terra Gotta, the last greatly resembling
the images of saints in their inches sold
in Italy.
One who has an eye for curiosities is
naturally attracted by these images,
and seeks an interview with the abbot,
who is teaching a class of boys. After
he is asked many questions, he will
very likely say that his eyesight1' much
impaired, and will more than hint that
a pair of spectacles would be accepta,
BILE
When the visitor hints that he would
like one or more of the images of
Buddha, the abbot is very greatly
shocked, and declares that he can not
think of parting with one, because they
have been offered by the people.
Bus if the bargainer pulls out a hand
full of silver, the abbot will probably
give the boys a recess, and with much
haggling about the price and a show of
reluctance, will sell some Of the gods.
He is sure, however. in order to salve
his conscience, to exact a promise to
treat the image with respect. declaring
that if he did not, evil things will hap
pen to you as well as to himself

SHATTERED By SCIENCE.
All the Romance of Hog-Killing Time Has
Passed Away.

An the Romance of Hog killing Time Has
Passed Away.
An old-time hog-killing is hard to find
now. Meat is bought too cheaply from
the West. The prairie farms, where
corn is burned as fuel, raise hogs too
easily to allow Southern farmers the
luxury of killing and curing their own
meat. You go to the packing-houses of
the West and drop pOrkcr into the
slot. In fifteen minutes he comes out
clear-ribbed and sugar-cured lots-with
a can of pure lard thrown in. and all
the hoof, hide and tallow present and
accounted for. The poetry and plenty
of the old plantations have given way
to the steam packing mills with their
millions of pounds month.
Farmers used to make their hams
from necessity. Now they put them ur
as luxury. 1t has gotten so that none
but well-tO-do farmers can afford to
raise their own meat. In those DAYS of
the steaming Gypsy pot, the hickory
ashes, the fat pen and the crisp sward
dyed in purple, we heard nothing of
trichina or pork corners. The only
meat futures were when the shote was
marked in July for killing in December.
Sometimes mild winter robbed the
farmer of his meat. Occasionally his
pig-sty and snoke-house We're raided
between the suns; but there was grease
and plenty in the hog killing on the
plantations. 1t was Il fact that the
Southern slave enjoyed as large pro-
portion of the products of his labor as
any class of hired labor in the world,
and statistics show that the slave was q
larger consumer of animal food than
any class of laborers in Europe, and
larger than any other labOring popula-
ton in the United States.
You rarely see that rare spectacle of
a roasted pig shipped upon the table en-
tire, like the peafowl in all its glory on
the tables in Florence. There was the
mellow apple in his mouth, caught in
his expiring effort, and there, preserved
with culinary skill is the ecstatic twist
of his tail. Now the railroads and
steamships have brought about divis-
ion of labor. Your hogs are steamed in
Chicago, your cows pastured in Michi-
gan, your turkeys dressed in Vermont,
your strip boiled in Cuba, your ice
cream frozen in New York, your cuffs
washed in China, and your cotton by
and by will be grown in India and
Africa. Then there will be nothing left
in this solid and sunny South but to
cultivate melons in summer and million
aires in winter and write about the good
Old times.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
