Kite Flying In Burma.

Mr.. II. d. Cunning, author of "In the
Shadow Of the Pagoda," describes the
Burmese as much given to kite flying,
an amusement that they contrive to en-
joy with minimum of bodily exertion.
Their method of operations is very sim
pie. Says Mr.. Cunning:
You pare down two 12 inch slips Of
bamboo, tie them at their centers cross
wise, run thread around the four tips
and paste upon this frame one thickness
Of paper. Tie nail or small screw
nut to one corner, and your kite is made.
The altitude that well made kite of
this kind will reach is wonderful, and
the lightest breath Of wind will take it
up. A hundred and fifty or 900 yards
Of strong sewing thread, wound on q
skeleton reel of 4 inches in diameter and
8 inches in length. completes the equip
ment.
Then, having started the kite by a
process of gentle playing, you squat
down in the middle of the street, SO as
to keep your thread clear of the houses
and let the kite help itself.
If you have fastened the thread with
cunning, the kite rises almost perpen-
dicularly, bringing you joy in the envy
and admiration OF those who cannot
make sleeper angle than 40 degrees.
The kite having taken out all the thread,
you sit and contemplate it poised still
and clear in the upper air for few
hours.
In Rangoon, on still morning or
evening, hundreds of kites float over
the Burmese quarter of the town, some
nearly out of sight, others lowering just
above the roofs. When driving, your
syce has frequently to halloo out of the
way middle aged man who is backing
slowly down in midstreet ooaxing his
kite up. He goes about the business
with ponderous solemnity that raises
it to the dignity Of science.

STUDYING HUMAN NATURE.
Novel and valuable Scientific Work Now
Being Carried on In Washington.

Being Carried on In Washington.
A new kind Of scientific work is be-
ing carried on in Washington, in which
the testing of 25, school children
mentally, morally and physically is the
preliminary step. DR.. Arthur Mcdonald
is conducting the work under the aus
pices of the United States bureau Of ed
ucation, and the results when arranged
and tabulated are expected to throw
valuable light upon number of mooted
questions concerning the race.
For example, it is desired to know
whether boys of the laboring class are
less bright than the sons Of tho we'll to
do. Are they as well nourished? In
London not long ago investigation
proved that the children of laboring
people in that metropolis were better
nourished-thati is to say, weighed more
at the same age-than those belonging
to higher social strata, the latter being
fed on too much candy and cake.
The work here being unfinished, con-
illusions cannot be stated. To begin
with, the height and sitting height Of
each child were taken. Long bodied
races, generally speaking, are inferior
1t is desired to know if long bodied
individuals are less clever or less strong
than the short bodied of the same race
Are long bodied boys and girls apt to be
stupid? Long headed children are usu-
ally tall. Tall people are most often
long headed. Tall races are superior
The question naturally follows, Are long
headed children superior mentally?
When it is said that man has long
head, is there not significance in the re-
mark?
Are tall children, then, superior? No
body knows as yet. These are among the
things which DIR. Mcdonald is trying
to find out. In the classification the
5000 negro children in Washington
schools have been kept separate, SO az to
compare them with white children.
How do they compare in respect to
brightness, weight, physical measure
ments, ETC.? The colored child surpasses
the white child up to 5 years of age in
mental development, then the white
child goes ahead. Comparisons Of girls
with boys naturally follow. At the
age of entering womanhood girls weigh
more than boys. That age with city girls
arrives year earlier than with country
girls Boston Transcript

ITO W DO you DO

when you buy shoes or clothing?
Don't you go to the place (if you
can find it) where they tell you that
you may wear the articles out, and
then, if you're not satisfied, they'll
refund the money? Why not do
the same when you buy medicine?
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is sold on that plan. It's
the only blood purifier SO certain
and effective that it can be guar
anteed to benefit or cure, in every
case, or you have your money back.
It's not like the ordinary spring
medicines or sarsaparillas. All the
year round, it cleanses, builds up,
and invigorates the system. If
you're bilious, run down, or dys-
peptic, or have any blood faint,
nothing can equal it as a remedy.

GOOD NIGHT.

Pale "a the amber flooded west
A horned moon dips low,
And soft through silver silenccs
The rose winds family blow.
Yet still q horned moon shall lend
A lance of lingering light
To cross the wind, to GROSS the dusk
And give my love good night.
The long lake ripping through its reeds
Hath lilies ell ablow.
At fall Of dew each sleepy flower
Folds up her leaves of snow.
Yet one fair lily bud shall wake
To smile all virgin white
Across the dark, across the dew
And give my love good night.
The light may fail, the lily fade,
The lightning's lurid glow
Flame in the sky, the rose winds rise
To storms that.rudely blow.
Yet constant still, as rose to June,
This heart shall take delight
Across the dark, across the world
To give my love good night.
