the equivalent of books in 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, long switch begins to sing
through the air. Quiet. serious study is
exploded. The Burmese educationists
argue that so long as 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.

Cruel Spaniards.

Spanish officers as well as men gener-
ally incline to cruelty and treachery.
Here is story in point, told by an ex-
cellent authority:
''In Alcala, the Guardia Civil--that
is, one Of the crack troops-was after a
robber band. One Of the robbers was
caught Being promised a 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 will begin with him. The robber
was Immediately shot in the back Of his
head"

STYLE IN THE SURF.
Bathing Suits and Some Of Their Original
Accessories This Season.

Bathing Suits and Some Of Their Original
Accessories This Season.
The annual pageant of abbreviated
dress in the surf this year will be dis
tinguished by many novelties if all the
models heralded as the latest materialize
on the beach. The patriotic love for the
red, white and blue can assert itself
without limit in this branch of dress.
Red and blue, blue with red trimmings
and red with white are conspicuous ex-
amples of color in bathing dress which
are very attractive. Red serge or fam
mel suits are trimmed with black, white
or blue braid. 1t is the soft. rich shades
which are most desirable, and red is
recommended not alone for the fashion
in color, but also as affording danger
signal in case the bather wishes to at
tract attention, the red gown making a
very noticeable point of color in the
water. Blue, black and white are quite
as much the fashion as ever, and if the
adjective "genteel" can be applied to
differences in bathing suits black and
blue are perhaps the most desirable.
In materials alpaca, serge, flannel,
silk and satin are in order, but alpaca
or mohair has the lead, because it sheds
the water nicely and does not cling so
closely to the figure. Any color which
suits the fancy may be chosen, as it
comes in every possible shade.
The ultra fashionable girl is supplied
with several suits in different colors.
Pale green is one of the novel colors en-
ployed, but rare exception. OF course
there are varying degrees of elegance in
this department, but the average bath
ing suit is very much trimmed with
braid in contrasting colors and effect
lively used ON bands of white sewed on
the dark colors. White silk and mohair
suits, trimmed with turquoise blue
braid, are the daintiest of all Some of
the suits are braided in fancy designs
on the front of the blouse bodice and
front breadth of the skirt, and few
novelties are embroidered, but the usual
decoration is braid, variously disposed
in runs around the skirt, across the vest
and around the revers collar. Double
revers are feature of some of the cos
tunes, and they are nearly all made
with the blouse waist and full, well
hung skirt, with knickerbockers at
tached.
The sleeves are a short puff, with
trimmed band below, and the belt usu-

summer fetes and general wear, but it
furnishes use for white silk that has
lost little of its first freshness, and
when these lace dresses have served
their hot weather turn of usefulness
they will still make quite smart demi-

A noticeable feature of the new gowns
is the short shoulder seam and the
smallness of the armhole. Uncomfort-
ably small it is in MANY instances, the
underside Of the bodice being carried up
very high to give long wasted effect.
Two piece sleeves appear to be in the
majority.
