The Women of Burmsb.

Not long ago Lord Dufferin remarked
that the Burmese are the only Eastern
nation among whom women are pub
licly respected, honored and obeyed.
Woman in Burmah has always had
fair play; she has been bound by no
ties and she has always had perfect
freedom to make for herself just such
a life as she thinks best fitted for her
She has been allowed to change as
her world changed. and she has lived
in very real world-a world of stern
facts. not fancies.
Boys and girls grow up together. but
with the school day comes a division.
In great towns there are regular
schools for girls, but In the villages
while the boys are in the monasteries
the girls are learning to weave and
herd the cattle, and drawing water and
collecting firewood.
The daughters of better class people.
such as merchants, and clerks. and ad-
vocates, do not, of course, work at
field labor.

is a box surmounted by two fan-like
panels. one above the other, revolving
horizontally in opposite directions.
These panels are studded with mirrors
that throw upon the retina q vibrating

A similar effect is produced by star

caused by staring at it.
Another apparatus for causing drow-
siness is formed OF clamps for squeez-
ing the arteries leading to the brain.
The clamps remain in position for less

the sufferer from insomnia has been
placed in a state of somnolence by the
decreased flow OF blood to the brain.
Still another method Is to arrange
an elastic battery in the bed so that
