a Burmese School.

The uproar WAS like that of run
away engine tearing through a tunnel.
The floor was Uttered with youngsters
lying on their stomachs and all bawl-
ing with an energy indicative that
somebody was hurting them. Long,
slim, scratched upon slips of palm leaf,
the equivalent of books il Burma,
were spread before the scholars. Making
the lads shout is the approved method
Of elementary instruction. When the
master discovers any tagging in lung
exercise, Il long switch begins to sing
through the air Quiet, serious study is
exploded. The Burmese educationists
argue that so long as q boy is shouting
his mind is occupied. When he is silent,
he is certain to be scheming mischief.
Therefore the best shouters are the best
pupils. Travel.

Great Britain. Navy.

In answer to the alarm raised by Lord
Charles Beresford in connection with
the relative strength of the British and
other European navies, the Westminste,

the combined navies of France, Russia
and Germany. The writer points out
that ships built before 1880 are now Of
very little account as fighting factors.
1t is shown also that between 1880 and
1890 Great Britain neglected her navy
to an astonishing degree. In that time
she built only 10 battleships and IL
cruisers, against the % battleships and
10 cruisers launched in France, Ger
many and Russia.
1t is III the recent decade, however,
that she is making rapid strides i'll naval
power For these ten years, between
1890 and 1900, her building programme
includes 81 battleships and AZ cruisers,
against 81 cruisers of France, Germany
and Russia. In torpedo boats she is not
much richer than the three powers, but
she possesses an enormous advantage in
torpedo boat destroyers.

Spending Money.

1t is an excellent thing to give chill
dren as soon as they arrive at about IL
years, or even before, little allowance
for spending money and an account
book. Show them how to keep an &C.
count of small expenditures and make
it condition that they do SO if they
wish to receive their allowance. There
is no instruction more necessary to chill
dren than instruction in the wise man
agement of money. Children should be
taught early what true economy is and
to exercise their judgment-not their
fancy-in making purchases. A little
instruction now, and experience If need
be. of the genuine discomforts Of extrav-
agance may save them from much suf-
fering in after years. = New York

AUSTRALIANS MONTE CARLO,
A Remarkable Gambling Scheme That Is
Called tho Tnttersall's Sweep.

Called the Tattersall's Sweep.
The Australian race lottery, in which
Mr.. Stoddart, captain of the English
cricketers, won Sc, 800 the other day, is
one of the most extraordinary gambling
schemes in the world 1t is best known
as ''Tattersall's sweep" and has been
in existence for many years at the antip-
odcs. The breath of scandal has never
touched it, and the drawings" for tho
bigger events are supervised by u COM
mittee of leading citizens and pressmen
of the city i'll which it is at the time To-
Gated.
George Adams, the organizer, makes
it n business to get up sweeps on all tho
chief Australian races, and, owing to
the strong support he receives, is en-
ablcd to give prizes that even singly
would be taken rs modest fortunes by
most people It has been estimated that
during twelvemonth run 81, 500, 600 OF
the public's money passes through Adj
ans hands.
Take the Melbourne cup, for instance.
On this race the big sweep is 100, 00O
subscribers at So each, and the price for
drawing the horse that wins the cup is
$3.50, 600. The holder of the second
horse ticket receives SS7, 500, and Sl2,
500 goes to the third horse ticket. In
addition, some thousands Of pounds arc
distributed among those who get horses,
whether they start in the race or not,
and there are hundreds of cash prizes,
ranging from $500 to the modest FLYER
each. On this race there will be other
sweeps at prices to suit the most hum
BILE contributor. Two consultations as
they are termed, of $4,000 at half a
sovereign each, and one of 100, 900 at
shillinSS each.
All through the year racing is going
on in Australia, where the horse is
idolized, and nearly every week there is
sweep. AS mentioned previously, no
doubt has ever been cast on the honesty
of the organizer, who deduots 10 per
cent from all the winnings SO as to re-
coup himself for his expenditure and
eXertion.
He employs rs many clerks as q large
hank, spends thousands of pounds an
nually in advertising and now holds in
his possession nearly e25O, 600 worth Of
unclaimed prizes
Legislation has time after time been
put into force to wipe out "Tatter-
sails" but without success. The New
South Wales government by act Of par
lament drove Adams from Sydney, and
he without delay settled in Brisbane
After ~ months location there the
Queensland parliament did the same
thing and Hobart was the next site TO-
moved to and where the sweeps are
merrily conducted now under the patron
age in person of the prominent citizens
The Australian postal laws compel that
all letters containing value must be reg.
istered, and it has been stated that Tat
tersall's brings $50, 900 per annum in
revenue to the Golfers of the colony
where its officers are.-London Mail.

A widow once called upon an artist
and asked him to paint portrait of her

the artist. "He can't sit at ALL" said
the widow, "he's dead. - "Then you

Nevertheless the artist undertook the

He Wanted Ships.

Here is story about Commodore
Schley that is told in Washington
About the time that he was looking for
a fleet the question of painting the ships
of the navy a war color was under sol
emn consideration by some Of the pre-
else officers in the big building. Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt was bothered
daily by the question Of tints submitted
to him by a board on warship color,
when Schley remarked that he did not
care what color his ships were painted
so long as he had ships.
Paint them red, if you like, +" said
he, 'or paint them black, but let me
have them. Color is immaterial.

Cruel Spaniards.

Spanish officers as we'll as men gener-
ally incline to cruelty and treachery.
Here is story in point, told by an ex-
ccllcnt authority:
'.In Alcala, the Guardia Civil-that
is, ore Of the crack troops-was after q
robber band. One of the robbers was
caught. Being promised full pardon,
he gave away his comrades. This man
had no sooner signed the paper that
served as his death warrant for his late
friends when the officer in charge said,
I'VE win begin with him.. The robbe1
was Immediately shot in the back of his
head. -.-----.-

They were giving "She Stops to

A penniless individual, anxious to see

When stopped and asked by what right
he went in without paying, he replied
"By what right am Oliver Gold

"Ah, beg pardon, sir, said the check
