Burma is country dominated by an

their origin to the influence of Buddhism
The Burman holds the view that this life
is sorry thing at the best and that the
wisest course is, therefore, to get through

possible. The world is nevertheless at the

for the needs of all her children, and while
there are love and laughter and gayety to
solace us, while leisure can be secured ami
peace maintained, let us enjoy and be-
happy Here we strike the keynote of the
life Of the Burmans. Strangers call them
lazy, but they are not idle except on prin-
clple. They can work splendidly when
they choose, but they have long ago de.

shop, to toll necessarily for mere sub

The First Calliope.

On the 4th of July, 1856, the first CALI
ope, or steam organ, made its debut at
Worcester, Mass. 1t was invented by a
Ipachinist of tina: city named Joshua c.
Stoddard, who is said to have toiled most
of the time night and day for over year
in reducing the harsh screech of escaping
steam through the bell whistles so that
they finally became trained musical notes
The foundation of the machine was laid
anu all the details, from inception to COM
pletlon, were carried out in the machine
shops of Wood & Light, the propretors
aiding the young inventor in every possible
manner When the Worcester papers an
nounced that ''Stoddard' gigantic music

body in Massachusetts, it appeared was
anxious to get a look at the machine and
hear it blow hurricane of music.
AT last the city authorities took the
matter in hand and hired the curious CON
triyance for use on Independence day
The great musical machine was accord
ingly loaded on a special train and taken
to Providence. The operator did himself
and the calliope great credit during the
journey, keeping up constant roar OF
music from the beginning to the end OF
the trip, thus giving those along the route
a chance to hear if not to see the new
wonder.
