later. AS Inspector general Of the pro-

widened. and the latter renewed his in
trigues with the federalists. but was
finally beaten in the governorship con-
test of New York. Burr, now fully in
censed, found no difficulty in fixing a
quarrel of his lifelong enemy.
Hamilton was the first political
writer of his time. and much of his
power was due to his clear, forcible
style of expression. His genius for
writing was very early displayed. AS
a boy in Nevis be wrote for the local
press, contributing at one time an ac-
count of severe hurricane that had
devastated the islands, which was so

auctions that they were at first ascribed
TO Jay. In i7s0. when Arnold's treason
was discovered, Hamilton was on Wash
ington's staff. and his account of that
affair is the best we have.
Outside OF establishing the country's
credit, Hamilton's greatest work was
The Federalist." This he conceived
and started just at the close of the la
bors OF the constitutional convention
of 1857. 1t was he who wrote most Of
those famous essays which riveted the
attention of the country and furnished
the weapons Of argument to those who
thought continually.

monarchy. Hamilton was accused of
being a monarchist, though Washing

CON NYEENG wYNE.
Curious Game Burmese Boys Learn to
~ Play Expertly.

~ 80 f~&~~J'
Look on your map, and on the east
side of the bay of Bengal you will
see the name of q country where the
ssnds of the rivers glitter with gold;
where rubies and sapphires and other
precious stones are as common as
in the valleys Sinbad the Sailor told
about; and where elephants and rhi
pceroses are everyday sights, and
lae often run through the streets
<sssfie towns.
vThe name of the country is Bur
aah, and if you met a boy anywhere
FApd could ask him, in Burmese,
Con Nyeeng Wyne means"
sthe little fellow would show his white
teeth through a broad smile, and say
'he guessed he did," as any American
boy would say ''yes," if he were asked
If he knew what marbles were.
The Burmese boys do not play mar
bles, but all of them play Con
Nyecng, and Con Nyeeng Wyne
means gathering to play Con
Nyeeng, and that is what the Bur-
mese boys say, instead of saying "let's
play marbles"
Con Nyeeng is the. name OF creep
e plant which has seeds which are
the size, shape and color OF hens
gizzard. The game is played with
these seeds, and from them the name
is taken. The way it is played is this:
Two or more play generally more.
Sides are chosen, and one begins. A
number of Con Nyeeng seeds are
stuck in the ground on edge, and
dose to each other, but not touch
ing. The player stands eight or ten
feet away on line, and he holds an
iron ring in his hands and snaps it
at the seeds, something as you snap
marble.
Before he snaps he says that he
will snap at and knock over an odd
err even number of Con Nyeeng; and
when sides are played one has to
knock out odd and the ether even.
4 The boys get so expert at this game
that some of then viii hit over any
number of seeds they are asked to
dozen times in succession without
missing; and they do it by swapping
/. the ring with a peculiar twist, SO that
vixen it hits over one seed the ring
will turn to the right or left and roll
ever more.
Not only boys but grown men play
this game, for there is tradition in
Burmah that certain phongyee, or
ruler of town, had been visited in
dream by the evil spirit, which uses
Y cholera to seize on its victims, and
that the evil spirit told the phongyee
/, that he wanted 300 victims from the
Down.
The phongyee told the spirit he
lldn't give them, as all the people
Ire out Of their houses playing Con
Dz0yeeng; and 50 the bad spirit went
away.
The Burmese are very supersti-
tious, and cholera kills a great many
avery year, and as they believe that
!: the evil spirit cannot take them when
they are playing, this is why every
bow in Burmah knows what Con

AN ADOPTED JOKE.
The Victim Made It the Motto of His
Business.

BUSINESS.
There is quiet beer shop just off
one of the main thoroughfares not far
uptown where the lunch checks bear
legend which puzzles even some Of
the regular patrons. Those who can
read it are no better off than those
who do not understand the language.
The proprietor Of the place died re-
Gently. He was well known among
lovers Of good beer, ard he was so
good a liver that he accumulated
avoIdupois until he was twice the
weight Of an ordinary man six feet
tall. His voice was in proportion to
his bulk. He was Of jovial disposition
and made many jolly friends. Them
scription on the checks has been re-
tanned since his death, although it
was distinctly Of a personal applica-
ton. His friends were responsible for
it, and although on itsfrst appearance
he was mountain Of wrath, he finally
came to take kindly to it, and, con-
verting sarcasm into earnest by sheer
weight of seriousness, be established
it as the motto of his place.
The proprietor liked his little joke,
and sometimes his friends bore the
brunt Of his practical wit. One day
some of his cronies decided to have
the laugh on him. He had gone to Sar-
atoga, where he also had a place. The
cronies put their heads together to
determine the best form of a joke on
him. One of his striking peculiari-
ties was a vocabulary picturesque,
lambent. suiphSrous, eruptive, which
in his sonorous voice, reverberating
through the rooms Of the beer shops,
sometimes surprised if it did not
shock sedate strangers. The conspir-
ators thought they saw the possibility
Of some fun in reminding him sarcas-
tically Of his characteristic. The sign
in front of his place was plain, and
they had painted on it above his
name: 'sGast Haus yum Hoefichen
Bayer," so tina: it read: "The hote.
of the polite Bavarian, John
Schmidt" only Schmidt wasn't his
name.
When the proprietor came home
they met him at the station and well
coined him, and then drove with him
to place on the opposite side of the
street from mis- place, where he could
get a good look at the altered sign.
There was yer bal eruption that sent
the jokers off into fits Of laughter and
threatened an apoplectic stroke to the
victim. He Gained down, however,
did what was expected Of him, and
then had the slur upon his demeanor
removed from the sign. But on sober
cogitation he adopted the sentiment
caused it to be placed upon the checks
that tell customers who take eatables
with their beer how much they spend
for the victuals that they might have
saved for the beverage.--N. Y. Sun.

The supreme sight in Colombo is
the Temple Of Buddha. 1t is with
awe that one approaches this place of
worship, where the big, painted god,

pastures, rules over the spiritual des-
TIMES of his people. Of course, the
temple is not reached without a strug-
gle. It is on the road to Randy, the
ancient capital of Ceylon, and it is
best to drive there. The visitor hires
o carriage in Colombo, a four-wheeled,
ancient equipage, drawn by a pair of
small shaggy ponies that would not
take a fourth prize in a dog show.
