Mandalay's Calamity.

RANGooN, March 31.-9 p. m.-The
fire that started in Mandalay yesterday
burned itself out after causing immense
damage. Today there were two fresh
outbreaks, the first of which occurred in
the eastern part of the city and had its
origin in a cluster Of huts. The flames
spread for mile, when the wind changed
and drove them back to the low courts.
Thence they extended towards the 'In-
comparable Pagoda,'' destroying num-
ber of large and valuable pagodas in their
path. Tonight a third fire has just
broken out in the British cantonment
and the flames are raging furiously. 1t
is impossible as yet to form any estimates
of the money loss, but it will be i'm

In arranging therefore for child's

Delsartean movements with simple dumb

former certainly gives grace and supple

the latter for developing muscle and in1at-

There is no need to give much time to
these exercises, and in no case should gym

Children and Their Teeth.

All diseases which profoundly affect the
nutrition influence the development of the
teeth. and since the growth of the teeth is
mainly limited to the age of childhood
their condition is especially influenced by
children's diseases.
Faulty nutrition or severe wasting i'll
nesses show themselves nowhere more
prominently than in the development of
the bones and teeth, and, on the other
land, good teeth in children play a very
important part in producing healthful
and robust manhood OF womanhood. De-
caying and loosened teeth directly favor
imperfect masticatioE and consequent in
digestion.
Indigestion favors poor nutrition. 1t
causes the secretions of the mouth to be

normal reaction of the saliva, which at
tachs the teeth ard favors their rapid de-

This is n divine condition all through
higher animal life-the admiration of the

ditions and love.
