TEACHERS IN CAMBODIA.
A Spiritual Bond Between Them and
Their Pupils.

A Spiritual Bond Between Them and
Their Pupils.
AQchildren who resentthemselvesa
the yeat for study are received. 1t is
not ever required that their parents
bring them or send them, says Popular
d Science Monthly. The newcomer
chooses his professor, and, if accepted,
begins at once to study under his direc-
ton, installs himself in his cell or in
the school hall, and becomes his servant.
If the professor has already too many
pupils, he refuses the new pu-
pill and advises him to choose another
teacher; sometimes he guides his choice,
directing him to master who has few
or no pupils, or takes him to the SUI
perior who will select teacher for him.
The choice of a professor is always a
grave affair, because it is held in Cam
bodia, as in all Buddhist and Brahmatic
countries, that professor and pupil are
bound by strong ties of spiritual af-
finity, and that the pupil ought TO re-
spect his master as he does his father
and mother. The law inflicts the same
penalty upon an offense of the pupil
against his master as an offense by a
son against his father. and mother and
it prescribes that in certain cases the
pupil may be heir of his professor when
he has cared for him or supported him
or served him when studying under his
direction; not only family bond but
a religious bond, too, is established be-
tween them, for the professor makes it
his business to teach his pupil the course
by which he may earn more adyanta-
geous reincarnation and reach the Mir
vana, and becomes his spiritual guide

GREAT PHENOMENON.
Daily Journey of the Sun Puzzled the
Apcients-Many Erroneous Theories.

Strange as it may seem in this day
and age, the rising and setting of the
sun was the greatest of natural phe-
nomena to the ancient scholars. They
were greatly puzzled to know how the
same sun which plunged into the ocean
at fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
ly great distance in the east. And, as
Sir Robert Ball points out, number of
remarkable theories were advanced,
and every one of them wrong. "The
old mythology asserted that after the
sun had dipped in the western ocean
at sunset (the Iberians and other an
cient nations actually imagined that
they could hear the Kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein) he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in a golden goblet. This
strange craft with it's astonishing car
go navigated the ocean by northerly
course, so as to reach the east again
in time for sunrise the following morn
ing. Among the more sober physicists
of old, as we are told by Aristotle, it
was believed that in some manner the
sun was conveyed by night across the
northern regions, and that darkness
was due to lofty mountains, which
screened off the sunbeams during the
voyage" Another theory was that the
sun actually pursued his course below
the solid earth during the darkness of
night, and philosophers taught the
same about the stars that rose and set.
These are but samples of many theory
that might be named with regard to
the phenomenon of sunrise and sunset.

THIS IS A DIFFERENCE

A Story to Prove That intellectually
Is Not the Only Distinction.
Most persons think that the chief diff
ference between mems and women's
clubs is that the one is Intellectually in
other distinctions. AT what organiza-
ton of men could the following incident
have taken place? asks the New York
Sun. 1t was at a gathering of feminine
clans the other afternoon, and some
body, with that delightful irresponsi-
bility common to such occasions, wanted
to know the time.
"You see, forgot and left my watch
at home" she added regretfully, If not
officially. "Why, so did leave mine"
piped up the president, not to be out
done in informality. so did j, 80

treasurer, while the chairman of the
executive committee announced grave
ly: mine was all ready to put on, but

it after all"
All this while, however, the first vice
president had been Juggling away at her
belt in business like way, and she
now produced small timepiece. la
dies" she began, in virtuous tone,
while all the rest gazed at her with the
utmost respect, ''let me give you the
time. You can always depend upon"
But here she stopped, and, after staring
at the timepiece for full two seconds,
she began to shake it and rap it in q
manner that might have alarmed any
one unfamiliar with women and their
ways with watches.
The gathering before her, however,
being of her own sex, took it all most
seriously. Suddenly the first vice presi-
dent put the timepiece to her ear. "Oh,"
she cried, while sweet smile of salts
faction irradiated her face, there's
nothing the matter, after all. ! wound

REDUCING THE STAFF.
The New Shah of Persia Content with
But Sixty Wives.

The New Shah of Persia Content with
But Sixty Wives.
The new shah of Persia has been re-
ducing what the Figaro calls "the fem
mime staff of the palace" ut Teheran.
He has kept only 60 wives, and finds the
total sufficient for dignity and within
the limits of a wise economy, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. The family tree of &C
wives has at present put forth branches
-twenty-three daughters and four
sons; and here we have the usual in
equality of the sexes, always at its
worst when polygamy exists. Whether
Muzaffer-ed-Din is happy though mar
ried, and much married, the record does
not state, but things seem to show that
polygamy is on, the decline in the Per.
sian court The last shah, in spite OF
his predilectioa for western habits. was
as lord of the harem an eastern in heart
and soul. He had in the seraglio at
Teheran the magnificent total of 1,72o
wives, who now are widows. In the
new American Bible of the women a
passage is denounced with special bit
terness by the feminists of the day,
1t is the one in Genesis where men are
called the sons of God and women are
the daughters of men. In the case OF
The late shah, one son of the Divine was
maintaining 1920 daughters of the
earthly. Surely this was a conscien.
tious effort to make up in quantity
what was wanting in quality.

To the average Chicagoan a trolley

This line, says the Chronicle, operates

HERE'S A COOL HOUSE.

A German Iuvehtor Conceives Scheme
TO Keep You Comfortable In Summer.
The house of the water tubes is the
remarkable building freak of German
inventor, who claims that he has solved
the problem of a constant temperature
that may be regulated at will, and Incl
dentally secured a structure that COM
bines the elements of strength, comfort
and beauty.
He first put up a skeleton of his
house, the frame for walls and floors
being of water tubing, connected, with
pumping and boiler system in the
basement. Around this skeleton, says
the New York Journal, he put up his
house in the ordinary way. The tubes
were within the walls and between the
floors and ceilings. In the summer
lime this timing is connected with the

danger was when the herd was ON both
sides Of the track. The minute one
started all started. and they ran In the
same direction. II the cattle ON the
wrong side Of the track did not have
proper room to get by the wheels there
might be damage.
But at this particular place q mon
strous old bull was willing to stand for
his rights. The boys had been chased
several times by bulls Of a like temper,
but had each time sprinted from dan
ger. Here they were caught ON a rough
track with long way to q safe place.
Mr.. Bull scraped several times in the
dirt to work up his mad and then
charged. He was about 800 yards away
when he started, and half vanished in
little draw on the way over, but he
came ont Of that on the jump, his eyes
rolling and his tail lashing. Half the
distance done, he fell to trot and
threw up his head to take another view
Of his prey. Then he ducked his head
and started on business drive. Max

yards with bullet square in the head.
The old fellow stopped, staggered and
fell. The boys mounted their wheels
and resumed their ride without ascer-
tanning the extent of bis wounds.
In the Glorietta canyon they met an
other species Of danger. It is the coun-
try infested by gang of Mexican ban
ditti, who rob and then kill that the
robbery may not be traced to them. The
boys noticed two Mexicans OH horseback
following them, who were afterward
joined by two others. The Mexicans
then rode on ahead and came down by
the railroad. The boys avoided them by
a detour and duck" past some low
hills to the next station. They slept in
q little station house and piled up every
available article of furniture against the
door. Neither slept during the night. and
near midnight they heard some one try
ing to push the door open. In the morn
ing they made haste to get out Of the
country. In the last year or two eight
men have been robbed and murdered in

pass, and ths boys firmly believe the
gang were after them.

Two years ago . blithe young girl,
vivaoious. refined and healthy, now q
startling specimen Of wrecked woman
hood-prematurely aged, careworn and
feeble.
Such is brief synopsis Of the unfor-
tunate transformation experienced by
the daughter Of an old and aristocratic
st. Louis family. The story Of this
blighted life reads like tale of fiction.
interviewer in the sad recital is thread
of romance.
For some time past members Of the
st. Louis medical fraternity have been
discussing this young woman's peculiar
case. It is Of rare interest from med
ical standpoint.
The victim is slave to Indian Hemp,
. herbal drug.
DR.. Ed F. Randall, the physician in
charge Of City dispensary No. 1, has
undertaken to cure the unfortunate girl
for, notwithstanding her haggard ap-
pearance, she is but girl. Only MEM
bers Of the family and interested ply
sicians know the whole truth. The
young woman's friends-members of
her social set-observe her debilitated
condition, but they have never known
that she is the victim Of strangely fas-
cinating drug.
Indian hemp is an herb that grows
1uxuriously In Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Texas, Indian Territory and other por-
tions of the southwest. It has been in
use by the red men for many genera
tions.
About l8 months ago the young won.
an, whose name DR.. Randall declines
to divulge, went to Oklahoma to visit
relatives. She had been reared in st.
Louis, and for ls years had known
nothing but city life. A cousin living
ON ranch near Perry, q. T., asked tho
young woman to make her visit. The
invitation was accepted. Riding habits
and other outdoor apparel were packed
In big trunk. Only few weeks pre-
vious the light hearted girl had grad
uated from school. The summer outing
IN Oklahoma was pleasant prospect

boundary line Of Oklahoma. they tray-
eled into the Indian country proper.
There they found scenes that were en-
chanting to thu young schoolgirl
One day the tourists visited q camp
where several noted chiefs had congre-
gated. The young woman complained
Of headache. One Of the 'big Injuns"
hastened to give her some medicine. II
was Indian hemp in its native state,
just as the Indians had gathered and
prepared it. The amount taken was
rather large. Immediately the headache
ceased, and the girl experienced de-
lghtful exhilaration.
The young woman commented upon
the pleasant effects Of the wonderful
medicine. Thus flattered, the Indians
gave her large quantity to carry away
with her. She asked for information
concerning the herb and was told that
1t was Indian hemp. During the re-
mainder Of her stay in Oklahoma she
kept herself happy by this arti fetal
method. When the visitor returned to
st. Louis she still had some Of the med
icine. At last the stock was exhausted.
Then she made druggist understand
what she wanted by showing him q
sample-the last remaining allowance.
The druggist procured the weed in pre-
pared form.
From that time forward the step to
ruin was easy. Gradually the doses be-
came larger and larger. A greater guam
tity was required to produce the pleas
ant effect. Health rapidly declining,
something had to be done. Dr.. Randall
was consulted.
It was the first case Of the kind he
had ever encountered. He was interest
ed, and at once made a special study of
Cannabis indica. The young woman ID
now under treatment. and DR.. Randall
hopes to restore her to health. This can
only be accomplished, however, by total
abstinence from the alluring herb.
DR.. Randall says that in the entire
medical history Of this country there are
but few cases Of similar excess. In the
orient the use Of the herb is moro CON-
mon than morphine eating in America.
1t is estimated that In India alone there
are over 5000, 900 victims of the hash
eesh habit. A small portion Of the prep
aration produces increase Of appetite
and cheerfulness. Larger doses produce
hallucinations, delirium and sometimes
